Detailed Description

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is an enzyme that is present in hematopoietic cells other than T cells and is necessary for downstream signal transduction from various hematopoietic receptors including the B cell receptor as well as some Fc, chemokine, and adhesion receptors, and is crucial for both B cell development and osteoclastogenesis. Although down-regulated in normal plasma cells, Btk is highly expressed in the malignant cells from many myeloma patients and some cell lines. PCI-32765 is a potent and specific inhibitor of Btk currently in Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials. The current study is designed and intended to determine the safety and efficacy of PCI-32765 in combination with carfilzomib (Kyprolis™) with and without dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM).

Interventions

  • Drug: Ibrutinib
  • Drug: Carfilzomib
  • Drug: Dexamethasone

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Phase 1 – Dose Finding
    • Ibrutinib PO 560mg + Carfilzomib IV 20/27mg/m2 + Dexamethasone PO 20mg
  • Experimental: Phase 2b – Main Study
    • Ibrutinib PO 560mg + Carfilzomib IV 20/36mg/m2 + Dexamethasone PO 20mg

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Overall Response Rate (ORR)
    • Time Frame: up to 4 years
    • -To evaluate the overall response (ORR) of ibrutinib in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone.

Secondary Measures

  • Duration of Response (DOR)
    • Time Frame: Up to 4 years
    • The time interval between the date of initial documentation of a response (PR or better) and the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease, death, or date of censoring for the subjects who had not progressed/died. The censoring date was the last adequate tumor assessment date.
  • Overall Survival
    • Time Frame: Up to 4 years
    • Time from date of first dose of study treatment to the date of death from any cause
  • Progression Free Survival (PFS)
    • Time Frame: Up to 4 years
    • Time from date of first dose of study treatment to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease, death or date of censoring for the subjects not progressed/died. The censoring date was the last adequate tumor assessment date.
