  • Embryo-fetal Toxicity: May cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential of potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. (5.9, 8.1, 8.3)

5.1 Hepatotoxicity


Fatal and/or serious hepatotoxicity occurred in 16% of patients treated with Zydelig in combination with rituximab or with unapproved combination therapies. Elevations in ALT or AST greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal have occurred [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. These findings were generally observed within the first 12 weeks of treatment and were reversible with dose interruption. After resumption of treatment at a lower dose, 26% of patients had recurrence of ALT and AST elevations. Discontinue Zydelig for recurrent hepatotoxicity.

Avoid concurrent use of Zydelig with other drugs that may cause liver toxicity.

Monitor ALT and AST in all patients every 2 weeks for the first 3 months of treatment, every 4 weeks for the next 3 months, then every 1 to 3 months thereafter. Monitor weekly for liver toxicity if the ALT or AST rises above 3 times the upper limit of normal until resolved. Withhold Zydelig if the ALT or AST is greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal, and continue to monitor AST, ALT and total bilirubin weekly until the abnormality is resolved [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

5.2 Severe Diarrhea or Colitis


Severe diarrhea or colitis (Grade 3 or higher) occurred in 20% of patients treated with Zydelig in combination with rituximab or with unapproved combination therapies [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Diarrhea can occur at any time. Avoid concurrent use of Zydelig and other drugs that cause diarrhea. Diarrhea due to Zydelig responds poorly to antimotility agents. Median time to resolution ranged between 1 week and 1 month across trials, following interruption of Zydelig therapy and in some instances, use of corticosteroids [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

5.3 Pneumonitis


Fatal and serious pneumonitis occurred in patients treated with Zydelig [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Clinical manifestations included interstitial infiltrates and organizing pneumonia. In randomized clinical trials of combination therapies, pneumonitis occurred in 4% of patients treated with Zydelig compared to 1% on the comparator arms. Time to onset of pneumonitis ranged from <1 to 15 months. Monitor patients on Zydelig for pulmonary symptoms. In patients taking Zydelig who present with pulmonary symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, hypoxia, interstitial infiltrates on a radiologic exam, or a decline by more than 5% in oxygen saturation, interrupt Zydelig until the etiology has been determined.

If symptomatic pneumonitis or organizing pneumonia is diagnosed, initiate appropriate treatment with corticosteroids and permanently discontinue Zydelig [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

5.4 Infections


Fatal and/or serious infections occurred in 48% of patients treated with Zydelig in combination with rituximab or with unapproved combination therapies [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. The most common infections were pneumonia, sepsis, and febrile neutropenia. Treat infections prior to initiation of Zydelig therapy. Monitor patients on Zydelig for signs and symptoms of infection, and interrupt Zydelig for Grade 3 or higher infection [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

Serious or fatal Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) or cytomegalovirus (CMV) occurred in <1% of patients treated with Zydelig. Provide PJP prophylaxis during treatment with Zydelig. Interrupt Zydelig in patients with suspected PJP infection of any grade, and permanently discontinue Zydelig if PJP infection of any grade is confirmed. Regular clinical and laboratory monitoring for CMV infection is recommended in patients with history of CMV infection or positive CMV serology at the start of treatment with Zydelig. Interrupt Zydelig in the setting of positive CMV PCR or antigen test until the viremia has resolved. If Zydelig is subsequently resumed, patients should be monitored by PCR or antigen test for CMV reactivation at least monthly [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

5.5 Intestinal Perforation


Fatal and serious intestinal perforation occurred in Zydelig-treated patients. At the time of perforation, some patients had moderate to severe diarrhea. Advise patients to promptly report any new or worsening abdominal pain, chills, fever, nausea, or vomiting. Discontinue Zydelig permanently in patients who experience intestinal perforation.

5.6 Severe Cutaneous Reactions


Fatal cases of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) have occurred in patients treated with Zydelig. Cases of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) have also occurred [see Adverse Reactions (6.2)]. Zydelig is contraindicated in patients with a history of toxic epidermal necrolysis [see Contraindications (4)]. If SJS, TEN, or DRESS is suspected, interrupt Zydelig until the etiology of the reaction has been determined. If SJS, TEN, or DRESS is confirmed, permanently discontinue Zydelig [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

Other severe or life-threatening (Grade ≥3) cutaneous reactions, including dermatitis exfoliative, rash, rash erythematous, rash generalized, rash macular, rash maculo-papular, rash papular, rash pruritic, exfoliative rash, and skin disorder, have been reported in patients treated with Zydelig. Monitor patients for the development of other severe or life-threatening cutaneous reactions and permanently discontinue Zydelig [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

5.7 Hypersensitivity Reactions


Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported in patients on Zydelig. Zydelig is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reactions to idelalisib, including anaphylaxis [see Contraindications (4)]. In patients who develop serious hypersensitivity reactions, permanently discontinue Zydelig [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)] and institute appropriate supportive measures.

5.8 Neutropenia


Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia occurred in 58% of patients treated with Zydelig in combination with rituximab or with unapproved combination therapies [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Monitor blood counts at least every 2 weeks for the first 6 months of therapy, and at least weekly in patients while neutrophil counts are less than 1.0 Gi/L. Interrupt Zydelig until resolution and resume at reduced dose [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

5.9 Embryo-fetal Toxicity


Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action, Zydelig may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. In animal reproduction studies, administration of idelalisib to pregnant rats during organogenesis caused decreased fetal weight and congenital malformations at systemic exposures 12 times those reported in patients at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily.

Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Zydelig and for 1 month after the last dose [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience


Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to Zydelig at a dosage of 150 mg twice daily in 110 patients administered in combination with rituximab in Study 312-0116, and in combination with other drugs in 380 patients. Among 490 patients who received Zydelig, 74% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 50% were exposed for one year or longer. In this pooled safety population, the most common (> 30%) adverse reactions were diarrhea, pneumonia, pyrexia, fatigue, rash, cough, and nausea. Common laboratory abnormalities were neutropenia, ALT elevations and AST elevations.


Summary of Clinical Trials in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

The safety data reflect exposure to Zydelig from two randomized, double-blind clinical trials (Studies 312-0116 and 312-0115) in 634 patients with relapsed CLL [see Clinical Studies (14.1)] and one randomized, open-label trial in 259 patients with relapsed CLL (Study 312-0119).


Zydelig with Rituximab (Study 312-0116)

Patients with relapsed CLL received up to 8 doses of rituximab (R) with (n=110) or without Zydelig (n=108)150 mg twice daily. The median duration of exposure to Zydelig was 8 months.

Serious adverse reactions were reported in 65 (59%) patients treated with Zydelig + R The most frequent serious adverse reactions reported for patients treated with Zydelig + R were pneumonia (23%), diarrhea (10%), pyrexia (9%), sepsis (8%), and febrile neutropenia (5%).

Adverse reactions that led to discontinuation of Zydelig occurred in 19 (17%) patients. The most common adverse reactions that led to treatment discontinuations were hepatotoxicity and diarrhea/colitis.

Forty-two (38%) patients had dose interruptions and sixteen (15%) patients had dose reductions due to adverse reactions or laboratory abnormalities. The most common reasons for dose interruptions or reductions were pneumonia, diarrhea or colitis, rash, and elevated transaminases.

Table 2 and Table 3 summarize common adverse reactions and laboratory abnormalities reported for Zydelig + R and placebo + R arms.

The most common adverse reactions were neutropenia (64%), pyrexia (43%), and diarrhea (41%).


Summary of Clinical Trials in Indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

The safety data reflect exposure to Zydelig from three open-label clinical trials (Studies 101-09, 101-02, and 101-10 in 146 patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) treated with Zydelig 150 mg orally twice daily. Zydelig is not indicated for the treatment of iNHL. The median duration of exposure was 6.1 months (range 0.3 to 26.4 months).

Serious adverse reactions were reported in 73 (50%) patients. The most frequent serious adverse reactions that occurred were pneumonia (15%), diarrhea (11%), and pyrexia (9%).

Adverse reactions resulted in interruption or discontinuation for 78 (53%) patients. The most common reasons for interruption or discontinuations were diarrhea (11%), pneumonia (11%), and elevated transaminases (10%).

The most common adverse reactions were neutropenia (53%), ALT increased (50%), diarrhea (47%), AST increased (41%), fatigue (30%), nausea and cough (29% each), anemia and pyrexia (28% each), abdominal pain and thrombocytopenia (26% each), and pneumonia (25%).


Summary of Discontinued Clinical Trials in Indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and First-Line CLL

Zydelig is not indicated for patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma or previously untreated CLL either as monotherapy or in combination with rituximab or BR. Safety data described below reflect exposure to Zydelig in three randomized, double-blind clinical trials (Studies 312-0123, 313-0124, and 313-0125) in patients with CLL and iNHL.

In Study 312-0123 (NCT01980888), 311 patients with previously untreated CLL received up to 6 cycles of BR with or without Zydelig 150 mg twice daily.

In Study 313-0124 (NCT01732913), 295 patients with previously treated iNHL [FL 66%, marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) 19%, SLL 9%, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL)/Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) 6%] received 8 doses of R with or without Zydelig 150 mg twice daily. Patients had a median of one prior therapy.

In Study 313-0125 (NCT01732926), 475 patients with previously treated iNHL (FL 63%, MZL 15%, SLL 11%, LPL/WM 11%) received up to 6 cycles of BR with or without Zydelig 150 mg twice daily. Patients had a median of two prior therapies.

These three studies were terminated early due to a higher incidence of fatal and/or serious adverse reactions observed in patients treated with Zydelig in combination with R or BR. The most frequent serious adverse reactions were in the system organ classes of infections and infestations, blood and lymphatic system disorders, and gastrointestinal disorders.

6.2 Postmarketing Experience


The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of Zydelig. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Skin and Subcutaneous Disorders - Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS)

  • Coadministration with strong CYP3A inhibitors may increase idelalisib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
  • Increased idelalisib concentrations may increase the risk of exposure related adverse reactions.
Prevention or Management
  • Use other drugs that are not strong CYP3A inhibitors.
  • If unable to use alternative drugs, monitor patients more frequently for Zydelig adverse reactions [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Strong CYP3A Inducers
Clinical Impact
  • Coadministration with strong CYP3A inducers may decrease idelalisib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
  • Decreased idelalisib concentrations may reduce efficacy.
Prevention or Management Avoid coadministration of Zydelig with strong CYP3A4 inducers.

7.2 Effects of Zydelig on Other Drugs


The coadministration of Zydelig with a CYP3A substrate may increase the concentrations of this CYP3A substrate. Avoid coadministration of Zydelig with sensitive CYP3A substrates [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].

8 Use In Specific Populations



Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. (8.2)

8.1 Pregnancy


Risk Summary

Based on findings in animal studies and the mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)], Zydelig may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman.

There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In animal reproduction studies, administration of idelalisib to pregnant rats during organogenesis resulted in decreased fetal weight and congenital malformations in rats at maternal exposures (AUC) 12 times those reported in patients at the recommended dosage of 150 mg twice daily (see Data).

The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage of clinically recognized pregnancies 2–4% and 15–20%, respectively.


Data


Animal Data

In an embryo-fetal development study in rats, pregnant animals receiving oral doses of idelalisib during the period of organogenesis (implantation to closure of the hard palate), embryo-fetal toxicities were observed at the mid- and high-doses that also resulted in maternal toxicity, based on reductions in maternal body weight gain. Adverse findings at idelalisib doses ≥ 75 mg/kg/day included decreased fetal weights, external malformations (short tail), and skeletal variations (delayed ossification and/or unossification of the skull, vertebrae, and sternebrae). Additional findings were observed at 150 mg/kg/day dose of idelalisib and included urogenital blood loss, complete resorption, increased post-implantation loss, and malformations (vertebral agenesis with anury, hydrocephaly, and microphthalmia/anophthalmia). The dose of 75 and 150 mg/kg/day of idelalisib in rats resulted in exposures (AUC) of approximately 12 and 30 times, respectively, the human exposure at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily.

8.2 Lactation



Risk Summary

There are no data on the presence of idelalisib or its metabolites in human milk or its effects on the breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed child, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with Zydelig and for 1 month after the last dose.

8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential


Zydelig may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].


Pregnancy

Pregnancy testing is recommended for females of reproductive potential prior to starting Zydelig.


Contraception


Females

Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Zydelig and for 1 month after the last dose.


Males

Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with Zydelig and for 3 months after the last dose [see Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].

8.4 Pediatric Use


Safety and effectiveness of Zydelig in pediatric patients have not been established.

8.5 Geriatric Use


Of the 490 patients with relapsed CLL who were treated with Zydelig in combination trials, 271 (55%) were 65 years of age and older. When comparing patients 65 years of age or older to younger patients with CLL, older patients had a higher incidence of discontinuation due to an adverse reaction (36% vs 28%), higher incidence of serious adverse reactions (73% vs 67%), and higher incidence of death (13% vs 9%).

8.6 Hepatic Impairment


No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with ALT or AST or bilirubin > upper limit of normal (ULN); however, limited safety and efficacy data are available for patients with baseline AST or ALT > 2.5 × ULN or bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN. Monitor patients with baseline hepatic impairment for adverse reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5)]. Follow dosage modifications for adverse reactions [see Dosage and Administration (2.2)].

11 Description


Idelalisib is a kinase inhibitor. The chemical name for idelalisib is 5-fluoro-3-phenyl-2-[(1S)-1-(9H-purin-6-ylamino)propyl]quinazolin-4(3H)-one. It has a molecular formula of C22H18FN7O and a molecular weight of 415.42 g/mol. Idelalisib has the following structural formula:

Idelalisib is a white to off-white solid with a pH-dependent aqueous solubility ranging from <0.1 mg/mL at pH 5–7 to over 1 mg/mL at pH 2 under ambient conditions.

Zydelig (idelalisib) tablets are for oral use. Each tablet contains either 100 mg or 150 mg of idelalisib with the following inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, sodium starch glycolate, magnesium stearate and a tablet coating. The tablet coating consists of polyethylene glycol, talc, polyvinyl alcohol, and titanium dioxide and of FD&C Yellow #6/Sunset Yellow FCF Aluminum Lake (for the 100 mg tablet) and red iron oxide (for the 150 mg tablet).

12 Clinical Pharmacology


12.1Mechanism of Action


Idelalisib is an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, PI3Kδ, which is expressed in normal and malignant B-cells. Idelalisib induced apoptosis and inhibited proliferation in cell lines derived from malignant B-cells and in primary tumor cells. Idelalisib inhibits several cell signaling pathways, including B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling and the CXCR4 and CXCR5 signaling, which are involved in trafficking and homing of B-cells to the lymph nodes and bone marrow. Treatment of lymphoma cells with idelalisib resulted in inhibition of chemotaxis and adhesion, and reduced cell viability.

12.2Pharmacodynamics



Cardiac Electrophysiology

At a dose 2.7 times the maximum recommended dose, Zydelig did not prolong the QT/QTc interval (i.e., ≤10 ms).

12.3Pharmacokinetics


Idelalisib exposure increased in a less than dose-proportional manner over a dose range of 50 mg to 350 mg twice daily (0.3 to 2.3 times the approved recommended dosage).

Following 150 mg twice daily administration of idelalisib, average (% coefficient of variation) maximum concentrations (Cmax) and area under the curve (AUC) at steady-state were 1861 (43%) ng/mL and 10598 (41%) ng∙h/mL for idelalisib.


Absorption

The median time to peak concentration (Tmax) was observed at 1.5 hours.


Food Effect

The administration of a single dose of Zydelig with a high-fat meal (900 calories: 525 calories fat, 250 calories carbohydrates, and 125 calories protein) increased idelalisib AUC 1.4-fold relative to fasting conditions.


Distribution

Protein binding of idelalisib is ≥ 84% with no concentration dependence.

The mean blood-to-plasma ratio was 0.7.

The apparent central volume of distribution at steady state is 23 L (%CV ~85%). Idelalisib is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and BCRP in vitro.


Elimination

The population apparent systemic clearance at steady-state is 14.9 L/hr (%CV ~ 38%). The population terminal elimination half-life of idelalisib is 8.2 hours.


Metabolism

Idelalisib is metabolized via aldehyde oxidase and CYP3A with additional minor metabolism by UGT1A4.


Excretion

Following a single 150 mg dose of radiolabeled idelalisib, 78% of the radioactivity was excreted in feces and 14% was excreted in the urine. Idelalisib is not a substrate of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT1, OAT3, or OCT2.


Specific Populations

Age (18 to 91 years), sex, race (White, and non-Whites), renal impairment (creatinine clearance ≥ 15 mL/min) and weight (38 to 148 kg) had no effect on idelalisib exposure.


Patients with Hepatic Impairment

The mean AUC increased up to 1.7-fold in patients with hepatic impairment (defined as ALT or AST or bilirubin values ≥ ULN) compared to patients with normal hepatic function. There is limited information on idelalisib exposure in patients with baseline AST or ALT > 2.5 × ULN or bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN [see Specific Populations (8.6)].


Drug Interaction Studies


Effect of Other Drugs on Idelalisib

The coadministration of rifampin (strong CYP3A inducer and P-gp inducer) to healthy subjects decreased the mean idelalisib AUC by 75% and the mean Cmax by 58% [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].

The coadministration of ketoconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor and P-gp inhibitor) to healthy subjects increased the mean idelalisib AUC by 1.8-fold. No changes in the mean Cmax were observed [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].

In vitro studies suggest that idelalisib inhibits CYP2C8, CYP2C19, and UGT1A1 and induces CYP2B6.


Effect of Idelalisib on Other Drugs

The mean Cmax of midazolam increased by 2.4-fold and the mean AUC of midazolam increased by 5.4-fold when midazolam (sensitive CYP3A substrate) was coadministered with Zydelig [see Drug Interactions (7.2)].

No changes in exposure to rosuvastatin (OATP1B1 and OATP1B3 substrate) or digoxin (P-glycoprotein substrate) were observed when coadministered with Zydelig.

13 Nonclinical Toxicology


13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility


Idelalisib was not carcinogenic in a 26-week study in transgenic mice when administered daily by oral gavage at doses up to 500 mg/kg/day in males and 1000 mg/kg/day in females. Idelalisib was not carcinogenic in a 2-year study in rats when administered daily by oral gavage at exposures 0.40/0.62-fold (male/female), compared to the exposure in patients with hematologic malignancies administered the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily.

Idelalisib did not induce mutations in the bacterial mutagenesis (Ames) assay and was not clastogenic in the in vitro chromosome aberration assay using human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Idelalisib was genotoxic in males in the in vivo rat micronucleus study at a high dose of 2000 mg/kg.

Idelalisib may impair fertility in humans. In a fertility study, treated male rats (25, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day of idelalisib) were mated with untreated females. Decreased epididymidal and testicular weights were observed at all dose levels and reduced sperm concentration at the mid- and high doses; however, there were no adverse effects on fertility parameters. The low dose in males resulted in an exposure (AUC) that is approximately 50% of the exposure in patients at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily.

In a separate fertility study, treated female rats (25, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day of idelalisib) were mated with untreated males. There were no adverse effects on fertility parameters; however, there was a decrease in the number of live embryos at the high dose. The high dose in females resulted in an exposure (AUC) that is approximately 17-fold the exposure in patients at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily.

13.2 Animal Toxicology and/or Pharmacology


Toxicities observed in animals and not reported in patients include cardiac toxicity (cardiomyopathy, inflammation, and increased heart weight) and pancreatic findings (inflammation, hemorrhage, and low-incidence acinar degeneration and hyperplasia). These findings were observed in Sprague-Dawley rats in toxicology studies at exposures (AUCs) higher than those reported in patients at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily. Cardiac inflammation was mainly seen in a 28-day study in rats, the other findings were observed in the 13-week and/or 6-month studies.

14 Clinical Studies


Zydelig was evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study GS-US-312-0116 (referred to as 312-0116) (NCT01539512) in 220 patients with relapsed CLL who required treatment and were unable to tolerate standard chemoimmunotherapy due to coexisting medical conditions, reduced renal function as measured by creatinine clearance < 60 mL/min, or NCI CTCAE Grade ≥ 3 neutropenia or Grade ≥ 3 thrombocytopenia resulting from myelotoxic effects of prior therapy with cytotoxic agents. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive 8 doses of rituximab (first dose at 375 mg/m2, subsequent doses at 500 mg/m2 every 2 weeks for 4 infusions and every 4 weeks for an additional 4 infusions) in combination with either an placebo taken orally twice daily or with Zydelig 150 mg taken orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

The median age was 71 years (range 47, 92) with 78% over 65, 66% were male, and 90% were White. The median time since diagnosis was 8.5 years. The median number of prior therapies was 3. Nearly all (96%) patients had received prior anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. The most common (>15%) prior regimens were: bendamustine + rituximab (BR) (98 patients, 45%), fludarabine + cyclophosphamide + rituximab (75 patients, 34%), single-agent rituximab (67 patients, 31%), fludarabine + rituximab (37 patients, 17%), and chlorambucil (36 patients, 16%). The median CIRS (Cumulative Illness Rating Scale) score was 8 (range 0–17), and 85% of patients had a score of >6. Median Karnofsky score was 80. Median estimated Creatinine Clearance (eCLcr) was 63.6 mL/min, with 41% of patients having an eCLcr of <60 mL/min. At screening, 19.5% of patients had a platelet count of <50 × 109/L, and 13.2% had an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of <1 × 109/L.

The efficacy of Zydelig was based on progression free survival (PFS), as assessed by an independent review committee (IRC). The trial was stopped for efficacy following the first pre-specified interim analysis. Results of a second interim analysis continued to show a statistically significant improvement for Zydelig + R compared to placebo + R for the major efficacy outcome measure of PFS (HR: 0.18, 95% CI [0.10, 0.32], p <0.0001).

At the final analysis, with a median follow-up of 8.3 months for the Zydelig + R group, and 5.6 months for the placebo + R group, the median PFS for the Zydelig + R group was 19.4 months (95% CI: 12.3, Not Reached) versus 6.5 months (95% CI: 4.0, 7.3) for the placebo + R group (HR: 0.15, 95% CI [0.09, 0.24], p < 0.0001).

Updated efficacy results are shown in Table 7 and the Kaplan-Meier curve for PFS is shown in Figure 1.
