Captivate Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new combination cancer therapy and whether it can be stopped early if the patient reaches minimal residual disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people who have never been treated for CLL/SLL and meet specific criteria, like having enough healthy blood cells, no allergies to certain drugs used to prevent tumor complications, and measurable disease by CT scan. They must also have functioning liver and kidneys.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing a combination of two drugs, Ibrutinib and Venetoclax, against a placebo in patients with untreated CLL/SLL. It's designed to see if treatment can be stopped early based on minimal disease presence or if there's a benefit from taking the drugs for a set period.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Ibrutinib may cause bleeding problems, infections, fatigue, muscle pain while Venetoclax might lead to tumor lysis syndrome (a rapid breakdown of cancer cells), diarrhea or nausea. The severity of side effects varies among individuals.

Captivate Trial Design

5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: MRD Cohort/uMRD Not Confirmed: Randomized to Ibrutinib (Open-Label)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants receive 420 mg of single-agent ibrutinib for the first 3 cycles followed by ibrutinib plus venetoclax combination treatment for at least 12 cycles (a cycle is defined as 28 days) prior to randomization (pre randomization phase). Participants with uMRD not confirmed are randomized to receive open-label ibrutinib 420 mg orally once daily on a continuous schedule until PD or unacceptable toxicity. In case of confirmed PD after restaging per iwCLL criteria, participants can continue ibrutinib and reintroduce venetoclax treatment. If venetoclax is to be reintroduced, venetoclax treatment is to continue at the dose of 400 mg/day for up to approximately 2 years (cumulative) until PD or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: MRD Cohort/uMRD Not Confirmed: Randomized Ibrutinib + Venetoclax (Open-Label)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants receive 420 mg of single-agent ibrutinib for the first 3 cycles followed by ibrutinib plus venetoclax combination treatment for at least 12 cycles (a cycle is defined as 28 days) prior to randomization (pre randomization phase). Participants with uMRD not confirmed are randomized to receive open-label ibrutinib 420 mg and venetoclax 400 mg orally once daily on a continuous schedule until PD or unacceptable toxicity. Venetoclax was allowed for administration up to 2 years cumulatively from first dose started in the pre-randomization phase to last dose in the randomization phase.
Group III: MRD Cohort/Confirmed Undetectable MRD (uMRD): Randomized to Ibrutinib (Blinded)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants receive 420 mg of single-agent ibrutinib for the first 3 cycles followed by ibrutinib plus venetoclax combination treatment for at least 12 cycles (a cycle is defined as 28 days) prior to randomization (pre-randomization phase). Participants with confirmed uMRD are randomized to receive ibrutinib 420 mg orally once daily on a continuous schedule until MRD-positive relapse, disease progression (PD), or unacceptable toxicity. After MRD-positive relapse or disease progression (PD) by iwCLL criteria, participants can reintroduce 400 mg venetoclax with a 5-week ramp up. If venetoclax is to be reintroduced, venetoclax treatment is to continue at the dose of 400 mg/day for up to approximately 2 years (cumulative) until PD or unacceptable toxicity.
Group IV: Fixed Duration (FD) Cohort: Open Label Ibrutinib + VenetoclaxExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants receive 420 mg of single-agent ibrutinib for first 3 cycles followed by ibrutinib plus venetoclax combination treatment (ibrutinib 420 mg and venetoclax 400 mg orally once daily on a continuous schedule) for 12 cycles (a cycle is defined by 28 days) or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group V: MRD Cohort/Confirmed uMRD: Randomized Placebo (Blinded)Placebo Group3 Interventions
Participants receive 420 mg of single-agent ibrutinib for the first 3 cycles followed by ibrutinib plus venetoclax combination treatment for at least 12 cycles (a cycle is defined as 28 days) prior to randomization (pre-randomization phase). Participants with confirmed uMRD are randomized to receive placebo orally once daily on a continuous schedule until MRD-positive relapse, PD or unacceptable toxicity. If MRD-positive relapse or PD is confirmed after restaging per iwCLL criteria, participants can first reintroduce oral daily ibrutinib with the option of subsequently reintroducing 400 mg venetoclax with a 5-week ramp up, if subsequent disease relapse per iwCLL criteria occurs after ibrutinib reintroduction. If venetoclax is to be reintroduced, venetoclax treatment is to continue at the dose of 400 mg/day for up to approximately 2 years (cumulative) until PD or unacceptable toxicity.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the current sample size of participants taking part in this research?

"Unfortunately, this study has ceased recruitment for the time being. It was initially published on September 28th 2016 and last revisedon January 27th 2022. Alternately, there are currently 2865 trials enrolling patients with leukemia and 343 recruiting participants to receive venetoclax therapy."

Answered by AI

To what conditions is venetoclax typically prescribed?

"Venetoclax is capable of mitigating the effects of waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll)."

Answered by AI

What other investigations have been conducted regarding venetoclax's efficacy?

"Venetoclax was initially studied at the NIH Clinical Center in 2011 and since then, a total of 18462 studies have been completed. Currently, there are 343 active trials with many based out of Charlotte, North carolina."

Answered by AI

Has the regulatory body approved venetoclax for medical use?

"Venetoclax has been deemed safe based on Phase 2 clinical data, and thus received a score of 2. However, no evidence to date supports its efficacy."
