7501 Background: CAPTIVATE (PCYC-1142) is a multicenter phase 2 study of first-line I+V in CLL. We previously reported results from the Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) cohort wherein undetectable MRD (uMRD) was achieved in over two-thirds of patients (pts) with 12 cycles of I+V, and 30-mo PFS rates were ≥95% irrespective of subsequent randomized treatment (Wierda, ASH 2020). We now present results from the FD cohort, evaluating fixed-duration tx with I+V. Methods: Pts aged ≤70 y with previously untreated CLL/SLL received 3 cycles of I then 12 cycles of I+V (I 420 mg/d orally; V ramp-up to 400 mg/d orally). Primary endpoint was CR rate, including CR with incomplete recovery (CRi); secondary endpoints were ORR, duration of response, uMRD rate (<10-4 by 8-color flow cytometry), PFS, OS, tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) risk reduction, and adverse events (AEs). Results: 159 pts were enrolled (median age 60 y). High-risk features included del(17p)/ TP53 mutation, 17%; del(11q), 18%; complex karyotype, 19%; and unmutated IGHV, 56%. 147 (92%) and 149 (94%) pts completed planned tx with I and V, respectively. Median time on study was 27.9 mo (range, 0.8–33.2). With fixed-duration I+V, CR rate was 55% (95% CI 48–63) in the overall population and was consistent across high-risk subgroups. Of the 88 pts who achieved CR, 78 (89%) had durable CR (duration ≥1 y); 1 died 7 mo after CR, and 9 with <1 y follow-up were not evaluable. ORR was 96%. Best uMRD response was achieved in 77% of pts in peripheral blood (PB) and 60% of pts in bone marrow (BM). 24-mo PFS was 95%; 24-mo OS was 98%. Results were similar in pts without del(17p) (n=136) (Table). In pts with del(17p)/ TP53 mutation (n=27), CR rate was 56%, uMRD rate was 81% (PB) and 41% (BM), and 24-mo PFS was 84% (95% CI 63–94). Of 34 pts with high baseline TLS risk based on tumor burden, 32 (94%) shifted to medium or low risk after I lead-in; no TLS occurred. AEs were primarily grade 1/2. Most common grade 3/4 AEs were neutropenia (33%), hypertension (6%), and neutrophil count decreased (5%). AEs led to discontinuation of I in 4% and V in 2%. Conclusions: First-line I+V is an all-oral, once-daily, chemotherapy-free, fixed-duration regimen that provides deep, durable responses in pts with CLL/SLL, including those with genomic high-risk features. CR, uMRD rates, PFS, and OS appear favorable. The safety profile of I+V was consistent with known AEs for each agent; no new safety signals were identified. Clinical trial information: NCT02910583.
