*Remission is based on CR, ORR and PR. CR is defined in the SmPC as complete remission.
UK-VNCCLL-220184 | May 2022

Now could be the time for your first-line patients to experience remission powered by V1-3

In the CLL-14 trial the primary endpoint of investigator-assessed PFS was met showing VEN+O superiority vs Clb+O (HR 0.35; 95% CI, 0.23–0.53; P<0.001).3

VENCLYXTO + O is the only 1 year fixed treatment duration chemo-free therapy that can offer your first-line CLL patients:

Complete remission (CR)*

The primary endpoint of investigator-assessed PFS was met showing VEN+O superiority vs Clb+O (HR 0.35; 95% CI, 0.23–0.53 ; P<0.001)3

Rate of INV-assessed CR* 3 months after completing treatment (ITT population; secondary endpoint)3

Median follow-up time in the primary analysis was 28 months (range: 0–36 months).
*Remission is based on CR and ORR. CR is defined in the SmPC as complete remission.
ORR=CR+CRi+PR (secondary endpoint).

 

Sustained survival off treatment at 5 years

VEN+O gives the opportunity for sustained survival without continuous treatment in first-line CLL patients1,4

*In the primary analysis at 28.1 months in the ITT population, PFS with
VEN+O was superior to Clb+O (HR: 0.35; 95% CI: 0.23–0.53; P<0.001)3.
Median follow-up 65.4 months.

Give your first-line CLL patients a chance to take back their life with a fixed treatment duration1,3,4,7

The safety profile of VENCLYXTO has been evaluated in 758 patients with CLL across 5 clinical trials (one phase I (M12-715), two phase II (M13-982 and M14-032) & two Phase III (MURANO & CLL-14) with VEN-mono, VEN+R or as VEN+O1

*Includes neutropenia and decreased neutrophil count

Neutropenia & infections:1

  • Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia has been reported in patients treated with VENCLYXTO. Complete blood counts should be monitored throughout the treatment period. Dose interruptions or reductions are recommended for patients with severe neutropenia.
  • Serious infections, including sepsis with fatal outcome, have been reported. Monitoring of any signs and symptoms of infection is required. Suspected infections are to receive prompt treatment, including antimicrobials and dose interruption or reduction, and use of growth factors as appropriate.

Dose titration and prophylactic measures effectively mitigated the risk of TLS

Incidence of TLS in patients receiving mitigation measures alongside VENCLYXTO:2,3

*All events were laboratory TLS, (which is defined as the presence of ≥2 events of hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia or hypocalcaemia within 24 hours of each other); and occurring in patients who have lymph node(s) ≥5cm or ALC≥25x109/L. Clinical TLS was defined as laboratory TLS event accompanied by increased creatinine/acute renal failure, cardiac dysrhythmia, seizures or death

CLL-14 study design

A Phase III open-label randomised study which evaluated the efficacy and safety of VENCLYXTO + obinutuzumab vs chlorambucil + obinutuzumab in patients with previously untreated CLL and comorbidities3*

*CLL-14 was a multicentre, open-label, Phase III trial. Treatment completed after twelve 28-day cycles.
VENCLYXTO 400 mg daily after initial dose-titration period.
Obinutuzumab dosing: 100 mg Cycle 1, Day 1, followed by 900 mg on Days 1 or 2; 1000 mg on Days 8 and 15 and Day 1 of subsequent cycles.
§Chlorambucil dosing: 0.5 mg/kg on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle.
Assessed using the International Workshop for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (IwCLL) updated National Cancer Institute-sponsored Working Group (NCI-WG) guidelines (2008).
**MRD negativity was assessed at the end of treatment. uMRD = <1 tumour cell per 104 white cells.

 

CLL-13 study design

A Phase III multicentre, open-label study which evaluated the efficacy and safety of VENCLYXTO + obinutuzumab vs CIT (FCR or BR) in treatment-naïve, fit patients.8,9

The CLL-13 trial included 2 other arms which cannot be discussed as they are unlicensed in the UK

MRD negativity was assessed at the end of treatment. uMRD = <1 tumour cell per 104 white cells.
*VENCLYXTO 400 mg daily after initial dose-titration period.
Obinutuzumab dosing: 1000 mg on days 1, 8 and 15 and day 1 of cycles 2-6.
FCR for patients ≤65 years: fludarabine 25 mg/m2 days 1-3, cyclophosphamide 250 mg/m2 days 1-3, rituximab 375 mg/m2 day 1 cycle 1 and 500 mg/m2 day 1 cycles 2-6.
§BR for patients >65 years: bendamustine 90 mg/m2 day 1-2 of cycles 1-6, rituximab 375 mg/m2 day 1 cycle 1 and 500 mg/m2 day 1 cycles 2-6. Each cycle was 28 days.
MRD negativity was assessed at the end of treatment. uMRD = <1 tumour cell per 104 white cells.
##Assessed using the International Workshop for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (IwCLL) updated National Cancer Institute-sponsored Working Group (NCI-WG) guidelines (2008).
