A Study of ABT-263 in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Lymphoid Malignancies

A Phase 1/2a Study Evaluating the Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of ABT-263 in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Lymphoid Malignancies

The Phase 1 portion of the study evaluated the pharmacokinetic profile and safety of ABT-263 with the objective of defining the dose limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose in subjects with lymphoid malignancies. The Phase 2a portion of the study is evaluating ABT-263 using a step-up dosing regimen and may be increased to the defined recommended Phase 2 dose to obtain additional safety information and a preliminary assessment of efficacy in subject with lymphoid malignancies. The Extension portion of the study is to allow Phase 2a subjects who remain active 1 year after the last subject enrolls or who have been on study approximately 1 year to continue receiving ABT-263 with less frequent study evaluations. Subjects in the Extension Study will continue receiving study drug for up to 7 years after the last subject transitions to the Extension Study, or until disease progression or toxicity that necessitates discontinuation (whichever comes first).

Extension Study Inclusion Criteria Phase 2a subjects who enter the Extension Study must continue to meet all Inclusion and Exclusion criteria, with the exception of Inclusion Criterion regarding measurable disease by International Working Group (IWG)/National Cancer Institute- sponsored Working Group (NCI-WG) criteria and Inclusion Criteria regarding laboratory parameters for hematology, coagulation, and chemistry. Subjects entering the Extension Study must also have stable lab values per applicable laboratory reference ranges. In addition, subjects must also meet the following criteria:

• Subjects must meet the following hematology and coagulation lab criteria:

  • Platelet counts must be >= 25,000/mm3 (untransfused). Platelet counts <= 50,000/mm3 must be stable and monitored at an increased frequency at the discretion of the investigator.

  • Bilirubin <= 3.0 x ULN. Subjects with Gilbert's Syndrome may be allowed to have a Bilirubin > 3.0 x ULN based on a joint decision between the investigator and Abbott medical monitor.
