Improvement of progression free survival (PFS) by adding acalabrutinib to R-miniCHOP followed by acalabrutinib maintenance compared with R-miniCHOP alone.

• To determine whether survival can be improved by adding acalabrutinib to standard R-miniCHOP.
• To determine whether event free survival can be improved by adding acalabrutinib to standard R-miniCHOP, according to investigator and blinded independent central review (BICR).
• To determine whether PFS can be improved by adding acalabrutinib to standard R-miniCHOP, according to BICR.
• To analyze outcomes according to cell of origin as per immunohistochemistry and gene expression analysis, as well as and molecularly defined DLBCL genotype.
• To compare complete (CR), partial (PR) and overall (ORR) remission rates as well as duration of response (DoR) between both treatment (acalabrutinib plus R-miniCHOP versus R-miniCHOP alone) and molecular groups (COO, molecular genotype).
• To compare progression rate, relapse rate as well as central nervous system (CNS) relapse rate between both treatment (acalabrutinib plus R-miniCHOP versus R-miniCHOP alone) and molecular groups (COO, molecular genotype).
• To determine toxicity and protocol adherence of R-miniCHOP with or without acalabrutinib.
• To evaluate quality of life with R-miniCHOP with or without acalabrutinib.

Patients with newly diagnosed, histologically proven, previously untreated CD20+ DLBCL (WHO classification 2017) who are above 80 years of age or above the age of 60 and ineligible for full dose R-CHOP according to investigator assessment, with Ann Arbor disease stage I with bulk e7.5cm, II, III or IV.

National, multicentre, randomised, open-label, phase 3 study
It is hypothesized that PFS at 1-year is 59% in treatment arm without acalabrutinib and 74% in treatment arm with acalabrutinib. A two-sided log rank test with an overall sample size of 314 patients (100 events) achieves 80% power at a 5% significance level (two-sided) to detect these 1-year PFS difference of 15%. This corresponds to a hazard ratio of 0.571. We anticipate that about 5% of patients will be lost of follow-up. Therefore, a total of 330 patients (165 in each arm) will be included.

We expect 3 fully eligible patients per centre per year. With 40 centres, this results in approximately 120 patients per year. For recruitment of 330 patients, approximately 3 years are required. We expect a slower recruitment during the beginning of the study, approximately 60 patients in the first, 110 patients in the second, and 160 patients in the third year. The last patient will be followed-up for 2 years. With the expected start of recruitment in Q4/2022, the recruitment period will finish in Q4/2025 and the follow-up in Q4/2027.
