Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Minimal residual disease (MRD) in bone marrow (BM) < 0.01% at month 27
27 month after beginning FCR or venetoclax + ibrutinib

MRD evaluation performed by 8 colours flow cytometry analysis in the bone marrow

Secondary Endpoints
Progression-free survival (PFS),
from date of inclusion to the date of first-documented progression, assessed up to 4 years
Complete response (CR) rate at month 9
at month 9 in the two arms (i.e. 3 months after the 6th cycle of FCR or after 6 months of combined therapy with ibrutinib and venetoclax)
Number of patients with bone marrow MRD < 0.01% at month 9
At month 9 after beginning FCR or venetoclax + ibrutinib

ArmTypeDescription
FCRACTIVE_COMPARATORFCR : * rituximab (R): 375 mg/m² IV D1 cycle 1 and 500 mg/m² IV D1 cycles 2 to 6. * fludarabine (F): 40 mg/m² orally, D2 to D4 - cycles 1 to 6. * cyclophosphamide (C): 250 mg/m² orally, D2 to D4 - cycles 1 to 6.
venetoclax and ibrutinib (I+VEN)EXPERIMENTAL* ibrutinib: 420 mg/d orally, continuously from Month 1 to the end of treatment, either Month 15 or Month 27 * venetoclax: stepwise weekly dose ramp-up beginning at Month 4 from a starting dose of 20 mg/d to the final dose of 400 mg/d (20, 50, 100, 200 and then 400 mg) over a 5 weeks, and then 400 mg/d continuously from Month 5 to the end of treatment, either Month 15 or Month 27.
Interventions
NameTypeDescription
venetoclax and ibrutinib (I+VEN)DRUGThe treatment will start with ibrutinib alone for 3 months (lead-in phase) from Month 1 to Month 3 and then venetoclax will be added from Month 4 with an initial ramp-up period. The total duration of treatment with (I+VEN) will depend on the response achieved at Month 9: * if BM MRD at M9 \< 0.01%, the treatment with (I+VEN) will be continued for 6 additional months until Month 15 and stopped then. MRD will be assessed at Month 15 (PB), Month 21 (PB) and Month 27 (PB and BM) * if BM MRD at M9 ≥ 0.01%, the treatment with (I+VEN) will be continued for 18 additional months until Month 27 and stopped then, whatever the results of MRD assessments that will be performed at the same time points as above.
FCRDRUGAll patients will receive 6 cycles of FCR administered at 4 weeks intervals (D1 = D29) from Month 1 to Month 6. 6 cycles of FCR will be administered at 4 weeks intervals (D1 = D29) from Month 1 to Month 6.
