Safety, PK, PD, and Antitumor Activity of Vecabrutinib (SNS-062) in B Lymphoid Cancers

A Phase 1b/2 Dose-Escalation and Cohort-Expansion Study of the Noncovalent, Reversible Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor, SNS-062, in Patients With B-Lymphoid Malignancies

This is an open-label Phase 1b/2 study in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL)or non hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) who have failed prior standard of care therapies including a BTK inhibitor where one is approved for the indication.

This study includes 2 parts: phase 1 (dose escalation) and phase 2 (cohort expansion) in patients with CLL/SLL or NHL who have failed prior standard of care therapies including a BTK inhibitor where one is approved for the indication. NHL indications include lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma/Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (LPL/WM), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the activated B-cell subtype (DLBCL-ABC), and follicular lymphoma (FL). In Phase 1b, cohorts of 3 to 6 patients are studied at each dose level, starting with 25 mg vecabrutnib BID in oral capsule form. Following identification of the MTD and/or recommended dose, in Phase 2 only CLL/SLL patients will be enrolled to expansion cohorts to further characterize the clinical activity, safety, and pharmacology of vecabrutinib. Cycle length is 4 weeks.

Inclusion Criteria (Key factors listed):

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status of ≤2.
• Confirmed malignancy with relapsed/refractory disease after ≥2 lines of standard systemic therapy including prior BTK inhibitor therapy having CLL, LPL/WM, MCL or MZL and for DLBCL-ABC and FL, after ≥2 lines of standard systemic therapy (Phase 1b). For Phase 2, CLL/SLL patients with confirmed malignancy with relapsed/refractory disease after ≥1 line of standard systemic therapy including prior BTK inhibitor therapy
• Presence of measurable disease through various assessments depending on specific cancer type.
• Current medical need for therapy of the B-lymphoid malignancy.

Exclusion Criteria (Key factors listed):

• Active central nervous system involvement.
• History of second primary malignancy that has progressed or required systemic treatment in the past 2 years. Exceptions include: local cancers of the skin, cervix or breast cancers, non-invasive bladder cancer, hormone sensitive prostate cancer with stable PSA ≥3 months, and other localized solid tumors in situ/other low risk cancers.
• Significant cardiovascular disease or electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities
• Ongoing risk for bleeding due to bleeding diathesis, platelet function disorder, uncontrolled peptic ulcer disease, oral anticoagulation medications.
• Evidence of uncontrolled systemic bacterial, fungal or viral infections at the start of drug therapy.
• Demonstrated intolerance to BTK inhibitor as shown by discontinuation due to adverse effects.
• Use of a moderate or strong inhibitor or inducer of CYP3A4 within 7 days prior to start of study therapy (e.g., some antibiotics, antifungals, anticonvulsants, grapefruit).
