  • Description: Abstract Background: CAPTIVATE (PCYC-1142; NCT02910583) is an international, multicenter phase 2 study of first-line Ibr + Ven in CLL with 2 cohorts: the Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) and FD cohorts. FD Ibr + Ven provides deep, durable responses (Ghia, ASCO 2021; Wierda, J Clin Oncol 2021). Here, we report efficacy and safety of FD Ibr + Ven in pts with high-risk features. Methods: Pts aged ≤70 y with previously untreated CLL received 3 cycles of Ibr then 12 cycles of Ibr + Ven (Ibr 420 mg/d orally; Ven ramp-up to 400 mg/d orally). Pts in the FD cohort received no further treatment. Pts in the MRD cohort were randomized to subsequent treatment according to MRD status, including a placebo arm for pts who achieved confirmed undetectable MRD (uMRD) with 12 cycles of Ibr + Ven. Data from the FD cohort and MRD cohort placebo arm were pooled for pts with high-risk features (del(17p), TP53 mutated, or unmutated IGHV) treated with FD Ibr + Ven. Results: Of 202 pts treated with FD Ibr + Ven in the FD cohort (n=159) or MRD cohort placebo arm (n=43), 129 pts had high-risk features (Table). Median time on study for these pts was 28.7 mo (range 0.8-45.1). 94% of pts completed planned treatment with Ibr and Ven. Median treatment duration was 13.8 mo (range 0.7-24.9) for Ibr and 11.1 mo (range 9.9-22.1) for Ven. Best response rates of CR and uMRD in peripheral blood and bone marrow were high (Table). The 18-mo landmark estimate for duration of CR was 95%. 24-mo PFS rate was 94%, which was similar to pts without high-risk features (97%). Only 3% of pts discontinued Ibr or Ven due to AEs. The AE profile of Ibr + Ven in pts with high-risk features showed no new safety findings for this FD regimen (Table). Conclusion: First-line Ibr + Ven for a fixed duration provides durable treatment-free remissions and sustained PFS in pts with CLL. These clinical outcomes are maintained in pts with high-risk features, with PFS rates that were similar to pts without high-risk features. Table.
