Pivotal Trial
Summary
This trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, ibrutinib and venetoclax, is more effective than just using ibrutinib in patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL). Ibrutinib works by stopping cancer cells from growing, while venetoclax helps to kill them. The goal is to see if this combination can better treat MCL. Ibrutinib and venetoclax have shown promising results in treating relapsed or refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) and are being tested together for their potential synergistic effects.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Mantle Cell Lymphoma who've had 1-5 prior treatments but haven't responded well. They must have a confirmed diagnosis, measurable disease on scans, and good organ function. Excluded are those with allergies to study drugs, recent heart attacks or strokes, active infections like HIV/HCV/HBV, severe liver issues, or gastrointestinal problems that affect drug absorption.
What is being tested?
The SYMPATICO study tests the effectiveness of combining Ibrutinib (a known cancer drug) with Venetoclax versus Ibrutinib with a placebo in treating Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these two groups without knowing which one they're in.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include diarrhea, nausea, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems; fatigue; muscle and bone pain; and potential liver dysfunction. Some may experience serious complications such as infections.

Trial Design
4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Treatment-naiveExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
This open-label arm is designed to explore the efficacy and safety of the combination of ibrutinib and venetoclax in subjects with treatment-naive MCL.
Approximately 75 subjects (of which \~25 subjects with TP53 mutation) will be enrolled and treated with ibrutinib and venetoclax.
Group II: Safety Run-in PeriodExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects are enrolled into the open-label Safety Run-in Period to evaluate the occurrence of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) and DLTs with the concurrent administration of ibrutinib and venetoclax.
Safety run-in phase for the study is closed to further enrollment as of 07-Nov-2018.
Group III: Phase 3: Ibrutinb + VenetoclaxExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Subjects will be randomized to receive ibrutinib and venetoclax/placebo until clinical disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Group IV: Phase 3: Ibrutinib + PlaceboPlacebo Group2 Interventions
Subjects will be randomized to receive ibrutinib and venetoclax/placebo until clinical disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Side Effect Profile
Prior Approvals
Other Research
Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) treatments often include BTK inhibitors like Ibrutinib and BCL-2 inhibitors like Venetoclax. Ibrutinib works by inhibiting Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), a protein essential for B-cell receptor signaling, which is crucial for the survival and proliferation of malignant B-cells in MCL.
Venetoclax targets the B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) protein, which prevents apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells. By inhibiting BCL-2, Venetoclax promotes the death of these malignant cells.
These mechanisms are significant for MCL patients as they directly target the pathways that allow cancer cells to grow and survive, offering a more effective and targeted approach to treatment.
