Brief Summary  

This is a Phase III, parallel group, open label, active comparator, randomised (1:1),

intended registration trial of ofatumumab versus rituximab in addition to salvage

chemotherapy. Two salvage regimens, DHAP and DVD, will be included in the protocol.

HOVON centres will enter subjects into the DVD subgroup, all other centres will enter

subjects into the DHAP subgroup. Changes to this policy may be made subject to the

approval of the study management. Recruitment will continue until at least 280 subjects

are randomised into the DHAP subgroup. A maximum of 100 subjects will be recruited

into the DVD subgroup.

Subjects must be refractory to, or have relapsed following, first-line treatment with

rituximab in combination with an anthracycline- or anthracenedione- containing

chemotherapy regimen, and be eligible for ASCT. The following disease responses will

be deemed refractory: 1) progressive disease during first-line treatment, 2) stable disease

after at least 3 cycles of first-line treatment, and 3) PR after at least 6 cycles of first-line

treatment, or in the case of stage I/II disease at least 3 cycles of treatment and definitive

involved field radiotherapy. Subjects will be randomised to receive either rituximab or

ofatumumab in addition to salvage chemotherapy.

Ofatumumab or rituximab infusions will be administered on Day 1 and Day 8 of cycle 1,

and then on Day 1 of cycles 2 and 3. The dose of ofatumumab will be 1000mg and

rituximab will be administered at a dose of 375mg/m2. Cycle 2 and 3 will be delayed for

hematological toxicity for a maximum of 2 weeks, thereafter the subject must be

withdrawn if neutrophil and platelet counts are not adequate for dosing.

Disease assessments, including CT and PET scans, will be performed at screening. After

the second cycle of salvage therapy, a CT scan will be performed and subjects not

achieving CR or PR will be considered treatment failures and will not receive any further

protocol therapy. According to local policy, during the second and/or third cycle of

salvage therapy, stem cells will be mobilized and harvested. CT and PET scans will be

performed after the third cycle of salvage therapy. Revised Response Criteria for

Malignant Lymphoma (RRCML) [Cheson, 2007], modified as in Section 6.2.3, will be

used for disease assessment. Provided that subjects have CR, PR or SD, they will receive

high dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation. Success of

engraftment will be assessed. Response will be assessed at 3 months post ASCT with CT

and PET scans.

From 9 months post-randomisation, subjects will be assessed every 3 months until two

years post randomisation, then every 6 months during years 3 and 4, and then at the end

of year 5. CT scans will be performed at 1 and 2 years post-randomisation or if clinically

indicated to exclude disease relapse.

Patient reported outcomes (PRO) will be collected using the FACT-Lym subscale,

FACT-G, EQ-5D and HCQ questionnaires at specified protocol visits. Paraffin blocks of

the original diagnostic biopsy and, when obtained, the biopsy following first-line

treatment will be submitted to central labs for pathological review and the production of

tissue microarrays (TMA) for subsequent prognostic marker analysis.

An interim analysis for futility of efficacy will be performed when 70 subjects in each

treatment group (O-chemo and R-chemo) have concluded salvage chemoimmunotherapy.

Adequacy of stem cell mobilization and safety will also be reviewed. If the results of the

interim analysis are satisfactory, the study will then complete recruitment Recruitment

will not be interrupted while the interim analysis is conducted. An IDMC will oversee the

conduct of the study.
