Rhea-AI Summary

Eli Lilly announced positive Phase 3 results for Jaypirca (pirtobrutinib) in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). The BRUIN CLL-321 trial showed that pirtobrutinib reduced disease progression or death risk by 46% compared to alternative treatments.

Key findings include:

• Median progression-free survival of 14.0 months vs 8.7 months in control group
• Time to next treatment extended by 23.9 months vs 10.9 months
• Improved safety profile with fewer grade 3 adverse events

The study involved 238 patients who had received at least one prior BTK inhibitor treatment, marking the first randomized Phase 3 study in CLL conducted exclusively in BTK inhibitor pre-treated patients.

Positive

• 46% reduction in risk of disease progression or death
• Median PFS improved to 14.0 months vs 8.7 months in control arm
• Extended time to next treatment by 23.9 months vs 10.9 months
• Fewer grade 3 adverse events compared to alternative treatments
• 76% of eligible control arm patients crossed over to pirtobrutinib treatment

Pirtobrutinib prolonged the time to next treatment or death by a median of 23.9 months compared to 10.9 months in the control arm

BRUIN CLL-321 is the first randomized Phase 3 study in CLL ever conducted exclusively in patients previously treated with a BTK inhibitor

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) today announced results from the Phase 3 BRUIN CLL-321 trial evaluating pirtobrutinib, a non-covalent (reversible) Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor in adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) previously treated with a covalent BTK inhibitor. The study's primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) was met at primary analysis¹, demonstrating pirtobrutinib was superior to investigator's choice of idelalisib plus rituximab (IdelaR) or bendamustine plus rituximab (BR), based on independent review committee (IRC) assessment. Today's updated results corresponding to the final prespecified analysis, demonstrate consistent improvement in PFS for patients treated with pirtobrutinib, with a reduction in risk of relapse, disease or death by 46% compared to IdelaR or BR. These data will be presented in an oral presentation at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition.

"These results demonstrate the ability of pirtobrutinib to deliver clinically meaningful outcomes in a post-covalent BTK inhibitor setting, which is especially remarkable given the poor prognosis for the patient population enrolled in BRUIN CLL-321," said Jeff Sharman, M.D., Disease Chair, Lymphoma Research Executive Committee, SCRI at Willamette Valley Cancer Institute and Research Center, and one of the principal investigators of the BRUIN CLL-321 trial. "These data also show that pirtobrutinib can significantly prolong the time to next treatment with a median of approximately two years. Coupled with the safety results, the BRUIN CLL-321 data are important as we consider treatment sequencing for this setting."

BRUIN CLL-321 enrolled 238 patients who were randomized to receive pirtobrutinib monotherapy (n=119) or investigator's choice of IdelaR or BR (n=119). Patients across both arms received a median of three prior lines of therapy, with all patients having received at least one prior covalent BTK inhibitor. Approximately half of the patients had also received a venetoclax-containing regimen. Reflective of the poor prognosis of patients enrolled in this study, a high proportion of patients presented with high-risk features indicative of aggressive disease, including TP53 mutation and/or 17p deletion, unmutated IGHV status and complex karyotype.

Efficacy results are based on IRC assessment of the intent-to-treat (ITT) population and utilize an Aug. 29, 2024 data cutoff date. Crossover to the pirtobrutinib arm was allowed after IRC-confirmed disease progression. At median follow-up of approximately 19 months, median PFS was 14.0 months for the pirtobrutinib arm compared to 8.7 months for the control arm (HR=0.54 [95% CI, 0.39-0.75]). PFS results were consistent across key subgroups associated with a poor prognosis, including patients who received prior venetoclax and those with TP53 mutations and/or 17p deletions, unmutated IGHV status and complex karyotype.

Pirtobrutinib also demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in other secondary endpoints such as investigator-assessed PFS (median PFS: 15.3 vs. 9.2 months; HR=0.48 [95% CI, 0.34-0.67]), event-free survival (EFS) (median EFS: 14.1 vs. 7.6 months; HR=0.39 [95% CI, 0.28-0.53]), and time to next treatment (TTNT) or death (median TTNT: 23.9 vs. 10.9 months; HR=0.37 [95% CI, 0.25-0.52]). Specifically, among patients in the control arm who were eligible for crossover, 76% (n=50/66) crossed over to receive pirtobrutinib. Multiple analyses that adjust for the effect of crossover demonstrate trends in favor of pirtobrutinib (Inverse Probability Censored Weighting methodology: HR= 0.89 [95% CI, 0.52-1.53]; two-stage Accelerated Failure Time methodology: HR=0.77 [95% CI, 0.45-1.26]).

The overall safety profile for patients treated with pirtobrutinib in BRUIN CLL-321 was consistent with safety data from the Phase 1/2 BRUIN study, including adverse events of special interest. In the Phase 3 study, pirtobrutinib treatment was associated with fewer grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and fewer treatment discontinuations due to adverse events compared to IdelaR or BR. When adjusting for exposure, the incidence rate of TEAEs was overall lower in patients receiving pirtobrutinib compared to IdelaR or BR.

"BRUIN CLL-321 is the only randomized CLL or SLL study ever conducted exclusively in the BTK-inhibitor pre-treated population, where there is significant need for new treatment options, and these data illustrate pirtobrutinib's ability to meaningfully delay disease progression and time to next treatment in this setting," said David Hyman, M.D., chief medical officer, Lilly. "This is the first in our suite of randomized Phase 3 trials for pirtobrutinib to readout and we look forward to continuing to build the body of evidence supporting the role of pirtobrutinib in advancing care for people with B-cell malignancies."

Lilly is committed to the ongoing investigation of pirtobrutinib in people living with hematologic malignancies. The BRUIN clinical trial program consists of six clinical studies, four of which are Phase 3 studies evaluating pirtobrutinib in CLL/SLL. For more information on the BRUIN Phase 3 clinical trial program, please visit clinicaltrials.gov.

Pirtobrutinib is approved as Jaypirca^® under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Accelerated Approval pathway for the treatment of adult patients with CLL/SLL who have received at least two prior lines of therapy, including a BTK inhibitor and a B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitor and adult patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) after at least two lines of systemic therapy, including a BTK inhibitor. These indications are approved under accelerated approval based on response rate. Continued approval for these indications may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.

About BRUIN CLL-321
BRUIN CLL-321 is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label study of pirtobrutinib versus investigator's choice of idelalisib plus rituximab (IdelaR) or bendamustine plus rituximab (BR) in BTK inhibitor pre-treated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). The trial enrolled 238 patients, who were randomized 1:1 to receive pirtobrutinib (200 mg orally, once daily) or investigator's choice of either IdelaR or BR per labeled doses. This trial's primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) per 2018 International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) criteria, as assessed by blinded independent review committee (IRC). Secondary endpoints include PFS, as assessed by investigator; overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR); event-free survival; overall survival (OS) and time to next treatment (TTNT); safety and tolerability; and patient-reported outcomes (PRO). 

About Pirtobrutinib
Pirtobrutinib is a highly selective (300 times more selective for BTK versus 98% of other kinases tested in preclinical studies), non-covalent (reversible) inhibitor of the enzyme BTK.² BTK plays a key role in the B-cell antigen receptor signaling pathway, which is required for the development, activation, and survival of normal white blood cells, known as B-cells, and malignant B-cells. BTK is a validated molecular target found across numerous B-cell leukemias and lymphomas, including mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL).^3,4 Pirtobrutinib was developed to reversibly bind BTK, deliver consistently high target coverage regardless of BTK turnover rate, and preserve activity in the presence of the C481 acquired resistance mutations.

About Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma
CLL and SLL are forms of slow-growing non-Hodgkin lymphoma that develop from white blood cells known as lymphocytes.^5,6 CLL is one of the most common types of leukemia in adults.⁵ In the U.S., CLL accounts for about one-quarter of the new cases of leukemia and there will be approximately 20,700 new cases of CLL diagnosed this year.^5,7 SLL is identical to CLL from a pathologic and immunophenotypic standpoint, with the main difference between them being the location of the cancer cells.⁵ In CLL, the cancer cells are present in the blood, and in SLL, the cancer cells are found in the lymph nodes.⁵

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR JAYPIRCA^® (pirtobrutinib)

Infections: Fatal and serious infections (including bacterial, viral, fungal) and opportunistic infections occurred in Jaypirca-treated patients. In a clinical trial, Grade ≥3 infections occurred in 24% of patients with hematologic malignancies, most commonly pneumonia (14%); fatal infections occurred (4.4%). Sepsis (6%) and febrile neutropenia (4%) occurred. In patients with CLL/SLL, Grade ≥3 infections occurred (32%), with fatal infections occurring in 8%. Opportunistic infections included Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and fungal infection. Consider prophylaxis, including vaccinations and antimicrobial prophylaxis, in patients at increased risk for infection, including opportunistic infections. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms, evaluate promptly, and treat appropriately. Based on severity, reduce dose, temporarily withhold, or permanently discontinue Jaypirca.

Hemorrhage: Fatal and serious hemorrhage has occurred with Jaypirca. Major hemorrhage (Grade ≥3 bleeding or any central nervous system bleeding) occurred in 3% of patients, including gastrointestinal hemorrhage; fatal hemorrhage occurred (0.3%). Bleeding of any grade, excluding bruising and petechiae, occurred (17%). Major hemorrhage occurred in patients taking Jaypirca with (0.7%) and without (2.3%) antithrombotic agents. Consider risks/benefits of co-administering antithrombotic agents with Jaypirca. Monitor patients for signs of bleeding. Based on severity, reduce dose, temporarily withhold, or permanently discontinue Jaypirca. Consider benefit/risk of withholding Jaypirca 3-7 days pre- and post-surgery depending on type of surgery and bleeding risk.

Cytopenias: Jaypirca can cause cytopenias, including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia. In a clinical trial, Grade 3 or 4 cytopenias, including decreased neutrophils (26%), decreased platelets (12%), and decreased hemoglobin (12%), developed in Jaypirca-treated patients. Grade 4 decreased neutrophils (14%) and Grade 4 decreased platelets (6%) developed. Monitor complete blood counts regularly during treatment. Based on severity, reduce dose, temporarily withhold, or permanently discontinue Jaypirca.

Cardiac Arrhythmias: Cardiac arrhythmias occurred in patients who received Jaypirca. In a clinical trial of patients with hematologic malignancies, atrial fibrillation or flutter were reported in 3.2% of Jaypirca-treated patients, with Grade 3 or 4 atrial fibrillation or flutter in 1.5%. Other serious cardiac arrhythmias such as supraventricular tachycardia and cardiac arrest occurred (0.5%). Patients with cardiac risk factors such as hypertension or previous arrhythmias may be at increased risk. Monitor for signs and symptoms of arrhythmias (e.g., palpitations, dizziness, syncope, dyspnea) and manage appropriately. Based on severity, reduce dose, temporarily withhold, or permanently discontinue Jaypirca.

Second Primary Malignancies: Second primary malignancies, including non-skin carcinomas, developed in 9% of Jaypirca-treated patients. The most frequent malignancy was non-melanoma skin cancer (4.6%). Other second primary malignancies included solid tumors (including genitourinary and breast cancers) and melanoma. Advise patients to use sun protection and monitor for development of second primary malignancies.

Hepatotoxicity, Including Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI): Hepatotoxicity, including severe, life-threatening, and potentially fatal cases of DILI, has occurred in patients treated with BTK inhibitors, including Jaypirca. Evaluate bilirubin and transaminases at baseline and throughout Jaypirca treatment. For patients who develop abnormal liver tests after Jaypirca, monitor more frequently for liver test abnormalities and clinical signs and symptoms of hepatic toxicity. If DILI is suspected, withhold Jaypirca. Upon confirmation of DILI, discontinue Jaypirca.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Jaypirca can cause fetal harm in pregnant women. Administration of pirtobrutinib to pregnant rats caused embryo-fetal toxicity, including embryo-fetal mortality and malformations at maternal exposures (AUC) approximately 3-times the recommended 200 mg/day dose. Advise pregnant women of potential fetal risk and females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for one week after last dose.

Drug Interactions

Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Concomitant use with Jaypirca increased pirtobrutinib systemic exposure, which may increase risk of Jaypirca ARs. Avoid use of strong CYP3A inhibitors with Jaypirca. If concomitant use is unavoidable, reduce Jaypirca dosage according to approved labeling.

Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Concomitant use with Jaypirca decreased pirtobrutinib systemic exposure, which may reduce Jaypirca efficacy. Avoid concomitant use of Jaypirca with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers. If concomitant use with moderate CYP3A inducers is unavoidable, increase Jaypirca dosage according to approved labeling.

Sensitive CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP3A, P-gp, or BCRP Substrates: Concomitant use with Jaypirca increased their plasma concentrations, which may increase risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates for drugs that are sensitive to minimal concentration changes. Follow recommendations for these sensitive substrates in their approved labeling.

Use in Special Populations

Pregnancy and Lactation: Due to potential for Jaypirca to cause fetal harm, verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to starting Jaypirca and advise use of effective contraception during treatment and for one week after last dose. Presence of pirtobrutinib in human milk is unknown. Advise women not to breastfeed while taking Jaypirca and for one week after last dose.

Geriatric Use: In the pooled safety population of patients with hematologic malignancies, patients aged ≥65 years experienced higher rates of Grade ≥3 ARs and serious ARs compared to patients <65 years of age.

Renal Impairment: Severe renal impairment increases pirtobrutinib exposure. Reduce Jaypirca dosage in patients with severe renal impairment according to approved labeling.
