Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Up to 84 months

PFS was defined as the interval from randomization to the earlier of the first documentation of definitive disease progression or death from any cause. PFS (months) = (minimum (date of disease progression, date of death) - date of randomization + 1)/30.4375.

Progression-Free Survival
Up to 17 months

Progression-free survival was defined as the interval from randomization to the earlier of the first documentation of definitive disease progression or death from any cause. Definitive disease progression was CLL progression based on standard criteria (other than lymphocytosis alone) as defined by the 2008 update of the International Workshop on CLL guidelines, ie, appearance of any new lesion; increase by ≥ 50% in the sum of the products of the perpendicular diameters of measured lymph nodes (SPD); new or ≥ 50% enlargement of liver or spleen; transformation to a more aggressive histology (eg, Richter's or prolymphocytic transformation); reduction in the number of blood cells (cytopenia) attributable to CLL.

Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Disease evaluated on Cycle 2 day 22 (Restage end of cycle 2), Cycle 10 day 1 (Final Restage 2 months after end of ofa therapy) and off treatment prior to cycle 10. Treatment duration is median 243 days with range of 9-620 days.

The overall response rate (ORR) was defined as the proportion of participants achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on IWCLL 2008 criteria.

Overall Response Rate
Up to Week 110

Overall response rate (ORR) was assessed based on the International Working Group Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma (Cheson, 2007), and was defined as the proportion of participants achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by the investigator. * CR was defined as the complete resolution of all disease-related radiological abnormalities and the disappearance of all signs and symptoms related to the disease. * PR was defined as a ≥ 50% reduction in the sum of the products of the longest perpendicular diameters of all index lesions, with no new lesions.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and/or unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. TEAEs were defined as 1 or both of the following: 1) Any AEs with an onset date on or after the study drug start date and no later than 30 days after permanent discontinuation of study drug; and/or 2) Any AEs leading to premature discontinuation of study drug.

Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Laboratory Abnormalities Within 28 Days of Idelalisib Exposure by Worst Grade at Postbaseline
First dose date up to 28 days

Treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities were defined as values that increase at least one toxicity grade from baseline. If the relevant baseline laboratory value was missing, then any abnormality of at least Grade 1 observed within the time frame specified above was considered treatment-emergent.The most severe graded abnormality from all tests was counted for each participant. Treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities were graded per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 4.03 where 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe, 4=Potentially Life Threatening.

Percentage of Participants Who Permanently Discontinued Idelalisib Due to a TEAE Within 28 Days of Idelalisib Exposure
First dose date up to 28 days

Frequently asked questions about Idelalisib

What is Idelalisib used for?

Idelalisib is an investigational small molecule being studied for several blood cancers, including follicular lymphoma, recurrent follicular lymphoma, indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and Hodgkin lymphoma. It is developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc. and is currently in Phase 3 clinical development.

What does Idelalisib target?

Idelalisib is a small molecule that targets the PI3K delta isoform, which plays a role in the growth and survival of certain B cells. By inhibiting this target, it aims to reduce the proliferation of malignant B cells in conditions like chronic lymphocytic leukemia and indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Who makes Idelalisib?

Idelalisib is developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol GILD. The drug is being studied for multiple oncology indications, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia and follicular lymphoma.

What phase is Idelalisib in?

Idelalisib is in Phase 3 clinical development. It has completed four clinical trials, including a Phase 3 study in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. No active trials are currently listed, and the drug remains investigational, meaning it is not yet approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is Idelalisib in?

Idelalisib has completed four clinical trials. These include NCT01393106, a Phase 2 study in relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma; NCT01569295, a Phase 3 study combining idelalisib with bendamustine and rituximab in previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukemia; NCT02135133, a Phase 2 study with ofatumumab in untreated CLL/SLL; and NCT02242045, a Phase 1 study in Japanese participants with relapsed or refractory indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas or CLL.

Is Idelalisib the same as GS1101 or CAL101?

Idelalisib is also known as GS1101 and CAL101. In clinical trial NCT02135133, the drug is referred to as Idelalisib (GS1101, CAL101), confirming these names refer to the same compound. This alternative naming is used in research contexts to identify the drug across different studies.
