简介: 欧盟批准强生抗癌药Imbruvica治疗2种血癌2014年10月21日,强生(JNJ)及合作伙伴Pharmacyclics制药公司近日联合宣布,抗癌药Imbruvica(ibrutinib)获欧盟委员会(EC)批准,用于2种血液癌症:(1)用 ...

——突破性抗癌药Imbruvica第4个适应症获欧盟批准
近日,突破性抗癌药Imbruvica(ibrutinib)获欧盟批准,用于既往已接受过至少一次治疗的Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症(WM)成人患者,以及用于不适合化学-免疫疗法的WM成人患者的一线治疗。
此次批准,使Imbruvica成为欧洲首个Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症治疗产品,该适应症也是Imbruvica在欧洲获批的第4个适应症,之前已获批的3个适应症,分别为:复发性或难治性套细胞淋巴瘤(MCL)、慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)、携带17p删除或TP53突变CLL。
在美国,Imbruvica由强生旗下杨森(Janssen)与Pharmacyclics共同开发及商业化,强生同时拥有Imbruvica在欧洲、中东及非洲(EMEA)及其他国家和地区的商业化权利。
Imbruvica新适应症的获批,是基于一项多中心II期研究。该研究涉及63例既往已接受中位数为2的既往疗法的(范围1-9)Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症(WM)成人患者,调查了每日口服一次Imbruvica 420mg的疗效和耐受性。数据显示,中位随访19个月(范围0.5-29个月),与Imbruvica治疗相关的总缓解率为91%(ORR,主要终点),11例(17%)实现轻微缓解(MR)、36例(57%)实现部分缓解(RR)、10例(16%)实现非常良好的部分缓解(VGPR)。患者启动治疗后,实现轻微缓解和部分缓解的中位时间分别为4周和8周。
次要终点包括无进展生存期(PFS)和安全性。在治疗的24个月时,预计的无进展生存率和总生存率分别为69%(95% CI, 53.2 - 80.5)和95%(95% CI,86.0-98.4)。Imbruvica治疗组最常见不良反应(>20%)为中性粒细胞减少、血小板减少、腹泻、皮疹、恶心、肌肉痉挛、疲劳。Imbruvica治疗组有6%患者因不良反应停止治疗。总体而言,Imbruvica具有良好的耐受性,安全性与以往的研究一致。
Imbruvica(ibrutinib)是一种首创的口服布鲁顿酪氨酸激酶(BTK)抑制剂,通过抑制肿瘤细胞复制和转移所需的BTK发挥抗癌作用。Imbruvica能够阻断介导恶性B细胞不可控地增殖和扩散的信号通路,帮助杀死并降低癌细胞数量,延缓癌症的恶化。在临床试验中,Imbruvica单药及组合疗法针对广泛类型的血液系统恶性肿瘤展现出了强大的疗效,包括慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)、套细胞淋巴瘤(MCL)、Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症(WM)、弥漫性大B细胞淋巴癌(CLBCL)、滤泡性淋巴瘤(FL)、多发性骨髓瘤(MM)及边缘区淋巴瘤(MZL)等。
Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症(WM)是一种起源于B细胞的生长缓慢且罕见的血液肿瘤,患者确诊的平均年龄在63-68岁,该病在男性和女性中的发病率分别为百万分之7.3和4.2。基因组测序揭示,WM患者MYD88基因中存在一种常见的突变,触发了布鲁顿酪氨酸激酶(BTK)的激活。BTK是调控免疫细胞增殖和细胞存活所需的一种关键蛋白,在恶性B细胞的生存及扩散中发挥重要作用。


Imbruvica 140 mg hard capsules
1. Name of the medicinal product
IMBRUVICA 140 mg hard capsules.
2. Qualitative and quantitative composition
Each hard capsule contains 140 mg of ibrutinib.
For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1.
3. Pharmaceutical form
Hard capsule (capsule).
White opaque, hard capsule of 22 mm in length, marked with “ibr 140 mg” in black ink.
4. Clinical particulars
4.1 Therapeutic indications
IMBRUVICA as a single agent is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
IMBRUVICA as a single agent is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) (see section 5.1).
IMBRUVICA as a single agent or in combination with bendamustine and rituximab (BR) is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with CLL who have received at least one prior therapy.
IMBRUVICA as a single agent is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia (WM) who have received at least one prior therapy, or in first line treatment for patients unsuitable for chemo-immunotherapy.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Treatment with this medicinal product should be initiated and supervised by a physician experienced in the use of anticancer medicinal products.
Posology
Mantle cell lymphoma
The recommended dose for the treatment of MCL is 560 mg (four capsules) once daily.
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia
The recommended dose for the treatment of CLL, either as a single agent or in combination, is 420 mg (three capsules) once daily (see section 5.1 for details of the combination regimen).
The recommended dose for the treatment of WM is 420 mg (three capsules) once daily.
Treatment should continue until disease progression or no longer tolerated by the patient.
Dose adjustments
Moderate and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors increase the exposure of ibrutinib (see sections 4.4 and 4.5).
The IMBRUVICA dose should be lowered to 140 mg once daily (one capsule) when used concomitantly with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors.
The IMBRUVICA dose should be reduced to 140 mg once daily (one capsule) or withheld for up to 7 days when it is used concomitantly with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.
IMBRUVICA therapy should be withheld for any new onset or worsening grade ≥ 3 non-haematological toxicity, grade 3 or greater neutropenia with infection or fever, or grade 4 haematological toxicities. Once the symptoms of the toxicity have resolved to grade 1 or baseline (recovery), IMBRUVICA therapy may be reinitiated at the starting dose. If the toxicity reoccurs, the once daily dose should be reduced by one capsule (140 mg). A second reduction of dose by 140 mg may be considered as needed. If these toxicities persist or recur following two dose reductions, discontinue the medicinal product.
Recommended dose modifications are described below:

Toxicity occurrence

MCL dose modification after recovery

CLL/WM dose modification after recovery

First

restart at 560 mg daily

restart at 420 mg daily

Second

restart at 420 mg daily

restart at 280 mg daily

Third

restart at 280 mg daily

restart at 140 mg daily

Fourth

discontinue IMBRUVICA

discontinue IMBRUVICA

Missed dose
If a dose is not taken at the scheduled time, it can be taken as soon as possible on the same day with a return to the normal schedule the following day. The patient should not take extra capsules to make up the missed dose.
Special populations
Elderly
No specific dose adjustment is required for elderly patients (aged ≥ 65 years).
Renal impairment
No specific clinical studies have been conducted in patients with renal impairment. Patients with mild or moderate renal impairment were treated in IMBRUVICA clinical studies. No dose adjustment is needed for patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (greater than 30 mL/min creatinine clearance). Hydration should be maintained and serum creatinine levels monitored periodically. Administer IMBRUVICA to patients with severe renal impairment (< 30 mL/min creatinine clearance) only if the benefit outweighs the risk and monitor patients closely for signs of toxicity. There are no data in patients with severe renal impairment or patients on dialysis (see section 5.2).
Hepatic impairment
Ibrutinib is metabolised in the liver. In a hepatic impairment study, data showed an increase in ibrutinib exposure (see section 5.2). For patients with mild liver impairment (Child-Pugh class A), the recommended dose is 280 mg daily (two capsules). For patients with moderate liver impairment (Child-Pugh class B), the recommended dose is 140 mg daily (one capsule). Monitor patients for signs of IMBRUVICA toxicity and follow dose modification guidance as needed. It is not recommended to administer IMBRUVICA to patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C).
Severe cardiac disease
Patients with severe cardiovascular disease were excluded from IMBRUVICA clinical studies.
Paediatric population
The safety and efficacy of IMBRUVICA in children aged 0 to 18 years have not been established. No data are available.
Method of administration
IMBRUVICA should be administered orally once daily with a glass of water approximately at the same time each day. The capsules should be swallowed whole with water and should not be opened, broken, or chewed. IMBRUVICA must not be taken with grapefruit juice or Seville oranges (see section 4.5).
4.3 Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1.
Use of preparations containing St. John's Wort is contraindicated in patients treated with IMBRUVICA.
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
Bleeding-related events
There have been reports of haemorrhagic events in patients treated with IMBRUVICA, both with and without thrombocytopenia. These include minor haemorrhagic events such as contusion, epistaxis, and petechiae; and major haemorrhagic events, some fatal, including gastrointestinal bleeding, intracranial haemorrhage, and haematuria.
Patients were excluded from participation in IMBRUVICA phase 2 and 3 studies if they required warfarin or other vitamin K antagonists. Warfarin or other vitamin K antagonists should not be administered concomitantly with IMBRUVICA. Supplements such as fish oil and vitamin E preparations should be avoided. Use of IMBRUVICA in patients requiring other anticoagulants or medicinal products that inhibit platelet function may increase the risk of bleeding, and particular care should be taken if anticoagulant therapy is used. Patients with congenital bleeding diathesis have not been studied.
IMBRUVICA should be held at least 3 to 7 days pre- and post-surgery depending upon the type of surgery and the risk of bleeding.
Leukostasis
Cases of leukostasis have been reported in patients treated with IMBRUVICA. A high number of circulating lymphocytes (> 400,000/mcL) may confer increased risk. Consider temporarily holding IMBRUVICA. Patients should be closely monitored. Administer supportive care including hydration and/or cytoreduction as indicated.
Infections
Infections (including sepsis, neutropenic sepsis, bacterial, viral, or fungal infections) were observed in patients treated with IMBRUVICA. Some of these infections have been associated with hospitalisation and death. Most patients with fatal infections also had neutropenia. Patients should be monitored for fever, neutropenia and infections and appropriate anti-infective therapy should be instituted as indicated.
Cytopenias
Treatment-emergent grade 3 or 4 cytopenias (neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and anaemia) were reported in patients treated with IMBRUVICA. Monitor complete blood counts monthly.
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
Cases of ILD have been reported in patients treated with IMBRUVICA. Monitor patients for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD. If symptoms develop, interrupt IMBRUVICA and manage ILD appropriately. If symptoms persist, consider the risks and benefits of IMBRUVICA treatment and follow the dose modification guidelines.
Atrial fibrillation/flutter
Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter have been reported in patients treated with IMBRUVICA, particularly in patients with cardiac risk factors, acute infections, and a previous history of atrial fibrillation. Periodically monitor all patients clinically for atrial fibrillation. Patients who develop arrhythmic symptoms or new onset of dyspnoea should be evaluated clinically and if indicated have an electrocardiogram (ECG) performed.
In patients with preexisting atrial fibrillation requiring anticoagulant therapy, alternative treatment options to IMBRUVICA should be considered. In patients who develop atrial fibrillation on therapy with IMBRUVICA a thorough assessment of the risk for thromboembolic disease should be undertaken. In patients at high risk and where alternatives to IMBRUVICA are non-suitable, tightly controlled treatment with anticoagulants should be considered.
Tumour lysis syndrome
Tumour lysis syndrome has been reported with IMBRUVICA therapy. Patients at risk of tumour lysis syndrome are those with high tumour burden prior to treatment. Monitor patients closely and take appropriate precautions.
Non-melanoma skin cancer
Non-melanoma skin cancers were reported more frequently in patients treated with IMBRUVICA than in patients treated with comparators in pooled comparative randomised phase 3 studies. Monitor patients for the appearance of non-melanoma skin cancer.
Effects on the QT interval
In a phase 2 study, ECG evaluations showed IMBRUVICA produced a mild decrease in QTcF interval (mean 7.5 ms). Although the underlying mechanism and safety relevance of this finding are not known, clinicians should use clinical judgment when assessing whether to prescribe ibrutinib to patients at risk from further shortening their QTc duration (e.g., Congenital Short QT Syndrome or patients with a family history of such a syndrome).
Drug-drug interactions
Co-administration of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors with IMBRUVICA may lead to increased ibrutinib exposure and consequently a higher risk for toxicity. On the contrary, co-administration of CYP3A4 inducers may lead to decreased IMBRUVICA exposure and consequently a risk for lack of efficacy. Therefore, concomitant use of IMBRUVICA with strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors/inducers should be avoided whenever possible and co-administration should only be considered when the potential benefits clearly outweigh the potential risks. Patients should be closely monitored for signs of IMBRUVICA toxicity if a CYP3A4 inhibitor must be used (see sections 4.2 and 4.5). If a CYP3A4 inducer must be used, closely monitor patients for signs of IMBRUVICA lack of efficacy.
Women of childbearing potential
Women of childbearing potential must use a highly effective method of contraception while taking IMBRUVICA (see section 4.6).
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Ibrutinib is primarily metabolised by cytochrome P450 enzyme 3A4 (CYP3A4).
Agents that may increase ibrutinib plasma concentrations
Concomitant use of IMBRUVICA and medicinal products that strongly or moderately inhibit CYP3A4 can increase ibrutinib exposure and should be avoided.
Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
Co-administration of ketoconazole, a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor, in 18 fasted healthy subjects, increased exposure (Cmax and AUC) of ibrutinib by 29- and 24-fold, respectively. Simulations using fasted conditions suggested that the strong CYP3A4 inhibitor clarithromycin may increase the AUC of ibrutinib by a factor of 14. Strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., ketoconazole, indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, clarithromycin, telithromycin, itraconazole, nefazodon and cobicistat) should be avoided. If the benefit outweighs the risk and a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor must be used, reduce the IMBRUVICA dose to 140 mg (one capsule) or withhold treatment temporarily (for 7 days or less). Monitor patient closely for toxicity and follow dose modification guidance as needed (see sections 4.2 and 4.4).
Moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors
Simulations using fasted conditions suggested that moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors, diltiazem, erythromycin and voriconazole, may increase the AUC of ibrutinib 5-9 fold. Moderate inhibitors (e.g., voriconazole, erythromycin, amprenavir, aprepitant, atazanavir, ciprofloxacin, crizotinib, darunavir/ritonavir, diltiazem, fluconazole, fosamprenavir, imatinib, verapamil, amiodarone, dronedarone) should be avoided. If a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor must be used, reduce IMBRUVICA treatment to 140 mg (one capsule) for the duration of the inhibitor use. Monitor patient closely for toxicity and follow dose modification guidance as needed (see sections 4.2 and 4.4).
Mild CYP3A4 inhibitors
Simulations using clinically relevant fasted conditions suggested that the mild CYP3A4 inhibitors azithromycin and fluvoxamine may increase the AUC of ibrutinib by < 2-fold. No dose adjustment is required in combination with mild inhibitors. Monitor patient closely for toxicity and follow dose modification guidance as needed.
Co-administration of grapefruit juice, containing CYP3A4 inhibitors, in eight healthy subjects, increased exposure (Cmax and AUC) of ibrutinib by approximately 4- and 2-fold, respectively. Grapefruit and Seville oranges should be avoided during IMBRUVICA treatment, as these contain moderate inhibitors of CYP3A4 (see section 4.2).
Agents that may decrease ibrutinib plasma concentrations
Administration of IMBRUVICA with inducers of CYP3A4 can decrease ibrutinib plasma concentrations.
Co-administration of rifampicin, a strong CYP3A4 inducer, in 18 fasted healthy subjects, decreased exposure (Cmax and AUC) of ibrutinib by 92 and 90%, respectively. Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., carbamazepine, rifampicin, phenytoin). Preparations containing St. John's Wort are contraindicated during treatment with IMBRUVICA, as efficacy may be reduced. Consider alternative agents with less CYP3A4 induction. If the benefit outweighs the risk and a strong or moderate CYP3A4 inducer must be used, monitor patient closely for lack of efficacy (see sections 4.3 and 4.4). Mild inducers may be used concomitantly with IMBRUVICA, however, patients should be monitored for potential lack of efficacy.
As ibrutinib solubility is pH dependent, there is a theoretical risk that medicinal products increasing stomach pH (e.g., proton pump inhibitors) may decrease ibrutinib exposure. This interaction has not been studied in vivo.
Agents that may have their plasma concentrations altered by ibrutinib
Ibrutinib is a P-gp and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) inhibitor in vitro. As no clinical data are available on this interaction, it cannot be excluded that ibrutinib could inhibit intestinal P-gp and BCRP after a therapeutic dose. To minimise the potential for an interaction in the GI tract, oral narrow therapeutic range, P-gp or BCRP substrates such as digoxin or methotrexate should be taken at least 6 hours before or after IMBRUVICA. Ibrutinib may also inhibit BCRP in the liver and increase the exposure of drugs that undergo BCRP-mediated hepatic efflux, such as rosuvastatin.
Based on in vitro data, ibrutinib is a weak reversible inhibitor towards CYP3A4 at the intestinal level and may therefore increase the exposure to CYP3A4 substrates sensitive to gut CYP3A metabolism. No clinical data are available on this interaction. Caution should be exercised if co-administering ibrutinib with CYP3A4 substrates administered orally with narrow therapeutic range (such as dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, fentanyl, cyclosporine, sirolimus and tacrolimus).
Based on in vitro data, ibrutinib is a weak CYP2B6 inducer and may have the potential to affect the expression of other enzymes and transporters regulated via the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), e.g. CYP2C9, CYP2C19, UGT1A1 and MRP2. The clinical relevance is not known, but the exposure to substrates of CYP2B6 (such as efavirenz and bupropion) and of co-regulated enzymes may be reduced upon co-administration with ibrutinib.
4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation
Women of child-bearing potential/Contraception in females
Based on findings in animals, IMBRUVICA may cause foetal harm when administered to pregnant women. Women should avoid becoming pregnant while taking IMBRUVICA and for up to 3 months after ending treatment. Therefore, women of child-bearing potential must use highly effective contraceptive measures while taking IMBRUVICA and for three months after stopping treatment. It is currently unknown whether ibrutinib may reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, and therefore women using hormonal contraceptives should add a barrier method.
Pregnancy
IMBRUVICA should not be used during pregnancy. There are no data from the use of IMBRUVICA in pregnant women. Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3).
Breast-feeding
It is not known whether ibrutinib or its metabolites are excreted in human milk. A risk to the newborns/infants cannot be excluded. Breast-feeding should be discontinued during treatment with IMBRUVICA.
Fertility
No effects on fertility or reproductive capacities were observed in male or female rats up to the maximum dose tested, 100 mg/kg/day (Human Equivalent Dose [HED]16 mg/kg/day) (see section 5.3). No human data on the effects of ibrutinib on fertility are available.
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
Fatigue, dizziness and asthenia have been reported in some patients taking IMBRUVICA and should be considered when assessing a patient's ability to drive or operate machines.
4.8 Undesirable effects
Summary of the safety profile
The safety profile is based on pooled data from 981 patients treated with IMBRUVICA in three phase 2 clinical studies and four randomised phase 3 studies and from post-marketing experience. Patients treated for MCL in clinical studies received IMBRUVICA at 560 mg once daily and patients treated for CLL or WM in clinical studies received IMBRUVICA at 420 mg once daily. All patients in clinical studies received IMBRUVICA until disease progression or no longer tolerated.
The most commonly occurring adverse reactions (≥ 20%) were diarrhoea, neutropenia, haemorrhage (e.g., bruising), musculoskeletal pain, nausea, rash, and pyrexia. The most common grade 3/4 adverse reactions (≥ 5%) were neutropenia, pneumonia, thrombocytopenia, and febrile neutropenia.
Tabulated list of adverse reactions
Adverse reactions in patients treated with ibrutinib for B-cell malignancies and post-marketing adverse reactions are listed below by system organ class and frequency grouping. Frequencies are defined as: very common (≥ 1/10), common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10), uncommon (≥ 1/1,000 to < 1/100), not known (cannot be estimated from the available data). Within each frequency grouping, undesirable effects are presented in order of decreasing seriousness.

4.9 Overdose
There are limited data on the effects of IMBRUVICA overdose. No maximum tolerated dose was reached in the phase 1 study in which patients received up to 12.5 mg/kg/day (1,400 mg/day). In a separate study, one healthy subject who received a dose of 1,680 mg experienced reversible grade 4 hepatic enzyme increases [aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)]. There is no specific antidote for IMBRUVICA. Patients who ingested more than the recommended dose should be closely monitored and given appropriate supportive treatment.
5. Pharmacological properties
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Antineoplastic agents, protein kinase inhibitors, ATC code: L01XE27.
Mechanism of action
Ibrutinib is a potent, small-molecule inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). Ibrutinib forms a covalent bond with a cysteine residue (Cys-481) in the BTK active site, leading to sustained inhibition of BTK enzymatic activity. BTK, a member of the Tec kinase family, is an important signalling molecule of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) and cytokine receptor pathways. The BCR pathway is implicated in the pathogenesis of several B-cell malignancies, including MCL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma, and CLL. BTK's pivotal role in signalling through the B-cell surface receptors results in activation of pathways necessary for B-cell trafficking, chemotaxis and adhesion. Preclinical studies have shown that ibrutinib effectively inhibits malignant B-cell proliferation and survival in vivo as well as cell migration and substrate adhesion in vitro.
Lymphocytosis
Upon initiation of treatment, a reversible increase in lymphocyte counts (i.e., ≥ 50% increase from baseline and an absolute count > 5,000/mcL), often associated with reduction of lymphadenopathy, has been observed in about three fourths of patients with CLL treated with IMBRUVICA. This effect has also been observed in about one third of patients with relapsed or refractory MCL treated with IMBRUVICA. This observed lymphocytosis is a pharmacodynamic effect and should not be considered progressive disease in the absence of other clinical findings. In both disease types, lymphocytosis typically occurs during the first month of IMBRUVICA therapy and typically resolves within a median of 8.0 weeks in patients with MCL and 14 weeks in patients with CLL. A large increase in the number of circulating lymphocytes (e.g., > 400,000/mcL) has been observed in some patients.
Lymphocytosis was not observed in patients with WM treated with IMBRUVICA.
Clinical efficacy and safety
Mantle cell lymphoma
The safety and efficacy of IMBRUVICA in patients with relapsed or refractory MCL were evaluated in a single open-label, multi-center phase 2 study (PCYC-1104-CA) of 111 patients. The median age was 68 years (range: 40 to 84 years), 77% were male and 92% were Caucasian. Patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 3 or greater were excluded from the study. The median time since diagnosis was 42 months, and median number of prior treatments was 3 (range: 1 to 5 treatments), including 35% with prior high-dose chemotherapy, 43% with prior bortezomib, 24% with prior lenalidomide, and 11% with prior autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant. At baseline, 39% of patients had bulky disease (≥ 5 cm), 49% had high-risk score by Simplified MCL International Prognostic Index (MIPI), and 72% had advanced disease (extranodal and/or bone marrow involvement) at screening.
IMBRUVICA was administered orally at 560 mg once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Tumour response was assessed according to the revised International Working Group (IWG) for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) criteria. The primary endpoint in this study was investigator-assessed overall response rate (ORR). Responses to IMBRUVICA are shown in Table 2.

The efficacy data was further evaluated by an Independent Review Committee (IRC) demonstrating an ORR of 69%, with a 21% complete response (CR) rate and a 48% partial response (PR) rate. The IRC estimated median DOR was 19.6 months.
The overall response to IMBRUVICA was independent of prior treatment including bortezomib and lenalidomide or underlying risk/prognostic factors, bulky disease, gender or age.
The safety and efficacy of IMBRUVICA were demonstrated in a randomised phase 3, open-label, multicenter study including 280 patients with MCL who received at least one prior therapy (Study MCL3001). Patients were randomised 1:1 to receive either IMBRUVICA orally at 560 mg once daily for 21 days or temsirolimus intravenously at 175 mg on Days 1, 8, 15 of the first cycle followed by 75 mg on Days 1, 8, 15 of each subsequent 21-day cycle. Treatment on both arms continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median age was 68 years (range, 34; 88), 74% were male and 87% were Caucasian. The median time since diagnosis was 43 months, and median number of prior treatments was 2 (range: 1 to 9 treatments), including 51% with prior high-dose chemotherapy, 18% with prior bortezomib, 5% with prior lenalidomide, and 24% with prior stem cell transplant. At baseline, 53% of patients had bulky disease (≥ 5 cm), 21% had high-risk score by Simplified MIPI, 60% had extranodal disease and 54% had bone marrow involvement at screening.
Progression-free survival (PFS) was assessed by IRC according to the revised International Working Group (IWG) for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) criteria. Efficacy results for Study MCL3001 are shown in Table 3 and the Kaplan-Meier curve for PFS in Figure 1.

Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
Patients previously untreated for CLL
A randomised, multicenter, open-label phase 3 study (PCYC-1115-CA) of IMBRUVICA versus chlorambucil was conducted in patients with treatment-naïve CLL who were 65 years of age or older. Patients between 65 and 70 years of age were required to have at least one comorbidity that precluded the use of frontline chemo-immunotherapy with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab. Patients (n = 269) were randomised 1:1 to receive either IMBRUVICA 420 mg daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, or chlorambucil at a starting dose of 0.5 mg/kg on days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle for a maximum of 12 cycles, with an allowance for intrapatient dose increases up to 0.8 mg/kg based on tolerability. After confirmed disease progression, patients on chlorambucil were able to crossover to ibrutinib.
The median age was 73 years (range, 65 to 90 years), 63% were male, and 91% were Caucasian. Ninety one percent of patients had a baseline ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 and 9% had an ECOG performance status of 2. The study enrolled 269 patients with CLL. At baseline, 45% had advanced clinical stage (Rai Stage III or IV), 35% of patients had at least one tumor ≥ 5 cm, 39% with baseline anemia, 23% with baseline thrombocytopenia, 65% had elevated β2 microglobulin > 3500 mcg/L, 47% had a CrCL < 60 ml/min, and 20% of patients presented with del11q.
Progression free survival (PFS) as assessed by IRC according to International Workshop on CLL (IWCLL) criteria indicated an 84% statistically significant reduction in the risk of death or progression in the IMBRUVICA arm. Efficacy results for Study PCYC-1115-CA are shown in Table 4 and the Kaplan-Meier curves for PFS and OS are shown in Figures 2 and 3, respectively.
There was a statistically significant sustained platelet or hemoglobin improvement in the ITT population in favor of ibrutinib versus chlorambucil. In patients with baseline cytopenias, sustained hematologic improvement was: platelets 77.1% versus 42.9%; hemoglobin 84.3% versus 45.5% for ibrutinib and chlorambucil respectively.

Patients with CLL who received at least one prior therapy
The safety and efficacy of IMBRUVICA in patients with CLL were demonstrated in one uncontrolled study and one randomised, controlled study. The open-label, multi-center study (PCYC-1102-CA) included 51 patients with relapsed or refractory CLL, who received 420 mg once daily. IMBRUVICA was administered until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median age was 68 years (range: 37 to 82 years), median time since diagnosis was 80 months, and median number of prior treatments was 4 (range: 1 to 12 treatments), including 92.2% with a prior nucleoside analog, 98.0% with prior rituximab, 86.3% with a prior alkylator, 39.2% with prior bendamustine and 19.6% with prior ofatumumab. At baseline, 39.2% of patients had Rai Stage IV, 45.1% had bulky disease (≥ 5 cm), 35.3% had deletion 17p and 31.4% had deletion 11q.
ORR was assessed according to the 2008 IWCLL criteria by investigators and IRC. At a median duration follow up of 16.4 months, the ORR by IRC for the 51 relapsed or refractory patients was 64.7% (95% CI: 50.1%; 77.6%), all PRs. The ORR including PR with lymphocytosis was 70.6%. Median time to response was 1.9 months. The DOR ranged from 3.9 to 24.2+ months. The median DOR was not reached.
A randomised, multi-center, open-label phase 3 study of IMBRUVICA versus ofatumumab (PCYC-1112-CA) was conducted in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL. Patients (n = 391) were randomised 1:1 to receive either IMBRUVICA 420 mg daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, or ofatumumab for up to 12 doses (300/2,000 mg). Fifty-seven patients randomised to ofatumumab crossed over following progression to receive IMBRUVICA. The median age was 67 years (range: 30 to 88 years), 68% were male, and 90% were Caucasian. All patients had a baseline ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. The median time since diagnosis was 91 months and the median number of prior treatments was 2 (range: 1 to 13 treatments). At baseline, 58% of patients had at least one tumour ≥5 cm. Thirty-two percent of patients had deletion 17p and 31% had 11q deletion.
Progression free survival (PFS) as assessed by an IRC according to IWCLL criteria indicated a 78% statistically significant reduction in the risk of death or progression for patients in the IMBRUVICA arm. Analysis of overall survival (OS) demonstrated a 57% statistically significant reduction in the risk of death for patients in the IMBRUVICA arm. Efficacy results for Study PCYC-1112-CA are shown in Table 5.

Combination therapy
The safety and efficacy of IMBRUVICA in patients previously treated for CLL were further evaluated in a randomised, multicenter, double-blinded phase 3 study of IMBRUVICA in combination with BR versus placebo + BR (Study CLL3001). Patients (n = 578) were randomised 1:1 to receive either IMBRUVICA 420 mg daily or placebo in combination with BR until disease progression, or unacceptable toxicity. All patients received BR for a maximum of six 28-day cycles. Bendamustine was dosed at 70 mg/m2 infused IV over 30 minutes on Cycle 1, Days 2 and 3, and on Cycles 2-6, Days 1 and 2 for up to 6 cycles. Rituximab was administered at a dose of 375 mg/m2 in the first cycle, Day 1, and 500 mg/m2 Cycles 2 through 6, Day 1. Ninety patients randomised to placebo + BR crossed over to receive IMBRUVICA following IRC confirmed progression. The median age was 64 years (range, 31 to 86 years), 66% were male, and 91% were Caucasian. All patients had a baseline ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. The median time since diagnosis was 6 years and the median number of prior treatments was 2 (range, 1 to 11 treatments). At baseline, 56% of patients had at least one tumour ≥ 5 cm, 26% had del11q.
Progression free survival (PFS) was assessed by IRC according to IWCLL criteria. Efficacy results for Study CLL3001 are shown in Table 7.

Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia
The safety and efficacy of IMBRUVICA in WM (IgM-excreting lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma) were evaluated in an open-label, multi-center, single-arm trial of 63 previously treated patients. The median age was 63 years (range: 44 to 86 years), 76% were male, and 95% were Caucasian. All patients had a baseline ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. The median time since diagnosis was 74 months, and the median number of prior treatments was 2 (range: 1 to 11 treatments). At baseline, the median serum IgM value was 3.5 g/dL, and 60% of patients were anemic (haemoglobin ≤ 11 g/dL or 6.8 mmol/L).
IMBRUVICA was administered orally at 420 mg once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint in this study was ORR per investigator assessment. The ORR and DOR were assessed using criteria adopted from the Third International Workshop of Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia. Responses to IMBRUVICA are shown in Table 8.

Efficacy results were also assessed by an Independent Review Committee (IRC) demonstrating an ORR of 83%, with a 11% VGPR rate and a 51% PR rate.
Paediatric population
The European Medicines Agency has waived the obligation to submit the results of studies with IMBRUVICA in all subsets of the paediatric population in MCL, CLL and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) (see section 4.2 for information on paediatric use).
5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
Absorption
Ibrutinib is rapidly absorbed after oral administration with a median Tmax of 1 to 2 hours. Absolute bioavailability in fasted condition (n = 8) was 2.9% (90% CI = 2.1 – 3.9) and doubled when combined with a meal. Pharmacokinetics of ibrutinib does not significantly differ in patients with different B-cell malignancies. Ibrutinib exposure increases with doses up to 840 mg. The steady state AUC observed in patients at 560 mg is (mean ± standard deviation) 953 ± 705 ng h/mL. Administration of ibrutinib in fasted condition resulted in approximately 60% of exposure (AUClast) as compared to either 30 minutes before, 30 minutes after (fed condition) or 2 hours after a high fat breakfast.
Distribution
Reversible binding of ibrutinib to human plasma protein in vitro was 97.3% with no concentration dependence in the range of 50 to 1,000 ng/mL. The apparent volume of distribution at steady state (Vd, ss/F) was approximately 10,000 L.
Metabolism
Ibrutinib is metabolised primarily by CYP3A4 to produce a dihydrodiol metabolite with an inhibitory activity towards BTK approximately 15 times lower than that of ibrutinib. Involvement of CYP2D6 in the metabolism of ibrutinib appears to be minimal.
Therefore, no precautions are necessary in patients with different CYP2D6 genotypes.
Elimination
Apparent clearance (CL/F) is approximately 1,000 L/h. The half-life of ibrutinib is 4 to 13 hours.
After a single oral administration of radiolabeled [14C]-ibrutinib in healthy subjects, approximately 90% of radioactivity was excreted within 168 hours, with the majority (80%) excreted in the faeces and < 10% accounted for in urine. Unchanged ibrutinib accounted for approximately 1% of the radiolabeled excretion product in faeces and none in urine.
Special populations
Elderly
Population pharmacokinetics indicated that age does not significantly influence ibrutinib clearance from the circulation.
Paediatric population
No pharmacokinetic studies were performed with IMBRUVICA in patients under 18 years of age.
Gender
Population pharmacokinetics data indicated that gender does not significantly influence ibrutinib clearance from the circulation.
Race
There are insufficient data to evaluate the potential effect of race on ibrutinib pharmacokinetics.
Body weight
Population pharmacokinetics data indicated that body weight (range: 41-146 kg; mean [SD]: 83 [19 kg]) had a negligible effect on ibrutinib clearance.
Renal impairment
Ibrutinib has minimal renal clearance; urinary excretion of metabolites is < 10% of the dose. No specific studies have been conducted to date in subjects with impaired renal function. There are no data in patients with severe renal impairment or patients on dialysis (see section 4.2).
Hepatic impairment
Ibrutinib is metabolised in the liver. A hepatic impairment trial was performed in non-cancer subjects administered a single dose of 140 mg of medicinal product under fasting conditions. The effect of impaired liver function varied substantially between individuals, but on average a 2.7-, 8.2-, and 9.8-fold increase in ibrutinib exposure (AUClast) was observed in subjects with mild (n = 6, Child-Pugh class A), moderate (n = 10, Child-Pugh class B) and severe (n = 8, Child-Pugh class C) hepatic impairment, respectively. The free fraction of ibrutinib also increased with degree of impairment, with 3.0, 3.8 and 4.8% in subjects with mild, moderate and severe liver impairment, respectively, compared to 3.3% in plasma from matched healthy controls within this study. The corresponding increase in unbound ibrutinib exposure (AUCunbound, last) is estimated to be 4.1-, 9.8-, and 13-fold in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe hepatic impairment, respectively (see section 4.2).
Co-administration with CYP substrates
In vitro studies indicated that ibrutinib is a weak reversible inhibitor toward CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and intestinal (but not hepatic) CYP3A4 and does not display clinically relevant time-dependent inhibition of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. The dihydrodiol metabolite of ibrutinib is a weak inhibitor toward CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, and CYP2D6. The dihydrodiol metabolite is at most a weak inducer of CYP450 isoenzymes in vitro. Although ibrutinib is a sensitive CYP3A4 substrate, it does not have a clinically relevant effect on its own exposure.
Co-administration with transport substrates/inhibitors
In vitro studies indicated that ibrutinib is not a substrate of P-gp, nor other major transporters, except OCT2. The dihydrodiol metabolite and other metabolites are P-gp substrates. Ibrutinib is an in vitro inhibitor of P-gp and BCRP (see section 4.5).
5.3 Preclinical safety data
The following adverse effects were seen in studies of 13-weeks duration in rats and dogs. Ibrutinib was found to induce gastrointestinal effects (soft faeces/diarrhoea and/or inflammation) and lymphoid depletion in rats and dogs with a No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) of 30 mg/kg/day in both species. Based on mean exposure (AUC) at the 560 mg/day clinical dose, AUC ratios were 2.6 and 21 at the NOAEL in male and female rats, and 0.4 and 1.8 at the NOAEL in male and female dogs, respectively. Lowest Observed Effect Level (LOEL) (60 mg/kg/day) margins in the dog are 3.6-fold (males) and 2.3-fold (females). In rats, moderate pancreatic acinar cell atrophy (considered adverse) was observed at doses of ≥ 100 mg/kg in male rats (AUC exposure margin of 2.6-fold) and not observed in females at doses up to 300 mg/kg/day (AUC exposure margin of 21.3-fold). Mildly decreased trabecular and cortical bone was seen in female rats administered ≥ 100 mg/kg/day (AUC exposure margin of 20.3-fold). All gastrointestinal, lymphoid and bone findings recovered following recovery periods of 6-13 weeks. Pancreatic findings partially recovered during comparable reversal periods.
Juvenile toxicity studies have not been conducted.
Carcinogenicity/genotoxicity
Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with ibrutinib.
Ibrutinib has no genotoxic properties when tested in bacteria, mammalian cells or in mice.
Reproductive toxicity
In pregnant rats, ibrutinib at a dose of 80 mg/kg/day was associated with increased post-implantation loss and increased visceral (heart and major vessels) malformations and skeletal variations with an exposure margin 14 times the AUC found in patients at a daily dose of 560 mg. At a dose of ≥ 40 mg/kg/day, ibrutinib was associated with decreased foetal weights (AUC ratio of ≥ 5.6 as compared to daily dose of 560 mg in patients). Consequently the foetal NOAEL was 10 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.3 times the AUC of ibrutinib at a dose of 560 mg daily) (see section 4.6).
In pregnant rabbits, ibrutinib at a dose of 15 mg/kg/day or greater was associated with skeletal malformations (fused sternebrae) and ibrutinib at a dose of 45 mg/kg/day was associated with increased post-implantation loss. Ibrutinib caused malformations in rabbits at a dose of 15 mg/kg/day (approximately 2.0 times the exposure (AUC) in patients with MCL administered ibrutinib 560 mg daily and 2.8 times the exposure in patients with CLL or WM receiving ibrutinib dose 420 mg per day). Consequently the foetal NOAEL was 5 mg/kg/day (approximately 0.7 times the AUC of ibrutinib at a dose of 560 mg daily) (see section 4.6).
Fertility
No effects on fertility or reproductive capacities were observed in male or female rats up to the maximum dose tested, 100 mg/kg/day (Human Equivalent Dose [HED]16 mg/kg/day).

欧洲批准IMBRUVICA(ibrutinib)用于巨球蛋白血症的治疗
AbbVie宣布欧盟委员会(EC)对IMBRUVICA(ibrutinib)发放上市许可。IMBRUVICA(ibrutinib)现已成为欧盟所有28个国家中针对Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症的第一个可用治疗药物。Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症(WM)是一种在至少接受过一次先前治疗的成年病人或接受一线治疗并且不适合化学免疫治疗的病人中发现的罕见的、生长缓慢的血液癌症。AbbVie旗下Pharmacyclics有限责任公司已经收到了FDA对于IMBRUVICA的批准,IMBRUVICA是在美国的第一个,也是唯一一个FDA批准的针对Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症的治疗药物。由于获得IMBRUVICA用于治疗Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症的批准,Janssen公司因此启动了2000万$的资金。
IMBRUVICA是由Pharmacyclics和Janssen Biotech公司在美国合作开发并运营,在欧洲市场及世界其他市场上,Janssen-Cilag international NV持有其上市许可。在欧洲,IMBRUVICA已经被批准用于治疗患有复发或难治性套细胞淋巴瘤(MCL)和已经接受过至少一次先前治疗或接受一线治疗且因为17p缺失或因存在TP53变异而不适合化学免疫疗法的慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)的成年患者。
Pharmacyclics主席Wulff-Erik von Borcke 表示,“IMBRUVICA作为第一个也是唯一一个由欧盟委员会批准用于治疗Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症的药物,其对于需要医疗援助的病患的价值不言而喻。”“同时,我们很高兴IMBRUVICA已经可以对在欧洲的Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症患者提供帮助了。”
欧盟委员会的审批是基于一项二阶多中心研究展开的。这项研究会评估63位接受了两个先前疗法(范围1-9)的患有Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症的患者在每天接受420mgIMBRUVICA治疗时其有效性和耐受性。这项研究的最新的结果已经在新英格兰医学杂志上发表,其结果表明在最多19个月(0.5-29.7)的中位随访中IMBRUVICA与91%的总反应率(ORR;主要终点)相关,调查员采用了Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症国际研讨会的标准进行本次调查。调查结果为11位病人(17%)有轻微反应(MR),36位病人(57%)有部分反(PR),10位病人(16%)有极佳部分反应,随访结果表明,达到轻微反应和部分反应分别需要4周和8周治疗。
次要终点包括无进展生存率(PFS)和安全性。24个月的预估无进展生存率和总生存率(OS)分别是69%(95% CI, 53.2 - 80.5)和95%(95% CI, 86.0 to 98.4)。IMBRUVICA最常见的不良反应(>20%)包括白细胞减少、血小板减少症、腹泻、皮疹、恶心、肌肉痉挛和疲劳。有6%接受IMBRUVICA治疗的患者因不良反应而中断治疗。总体而言,IMBRUVICA拥有良好耐受性且安全性与先前的观察保持一致。
关于Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症
Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症(临床公认的亚型淋巴浆细胞淋巴瘤或LPL)是一种生长缓慢且罕见的血液癌症,最常见的起源为位于骨髓中的淋巴B细胞。Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症由淋巴B细胞在健康的生命周期中发生功能障碍导致,此时该细胞表现出癌症症状并以异常的速率开始分裂。癌变的B细胞产生大量的免疫球蛋白M(lgM抗体),大量的lgM导致血液变的粘稠从而引起其他的Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症症状。
关于IMBRUVICA
IMBRUVICA是目前在美国批准的用于针对至少接受了一次先前治疗的患者治疗慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)、所有有del17P(一种因17号染色体丢失导致的基因变异)的慢性淋巴细胞白血病患者(包括从未进行治疗的患者)和所有Waldenstrom巨球蛋白血症的患者(包括初治患者)进行治疗的药物。同时IMBRUVICA也获得批准用于针对接受过至少一次先前治疗的患者治疗套细胞淋巴瘤(MCL)。
IMBRUVICA(ibrutinib)是一种新型药物,用法为口服,每日一次。其作用为抑制一种叫做布鲁顿酪氨酸激酶(BTK)的蛋白质。IMBRUVICA是第一批通过突破性治疗指定通道获得美国FDA批准的药物之一,也是唯一一个获得三次突破性治疗认定资格的药物。
布鲁顿酪氨酸激酶(BTK)是B细胞受体信号传导复合体中的关键分子,受体信号传导复合体是癌变B细胞生存和传播的重要细胞器。IMBRUVICA通过抑制BTK阻止了癌变B细胞的不受控传播和分裂信号的传播。
IMBRUVICA已经被单独用于或结合其他治疗方法治疗多种血癌的临床试验中。已有超过800名研究人员针对超过6100名患者在35个不同的国家进行的临床试验中使用了IMBRUVICA。
