The purpose of this study is to describe the 2-year retention rate of ibrutinib treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in Italian routine clinical practice.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
312
Participants in this observational study with confirmed diagnosis of CLL receiving ibrutinib in routine clinical practice settings will be observed approximately for 3 years.
Retention Rate of Ibrutinib
The retention rate is defined as the ratio of the number of participants taking ibrutinib over the number of participants at risk. The retention rate of ibrutinib treatment for (Chronic lymphocytic leukemia) CLL in Italian routine clinical practice will be measured.
Time frame: Approximately up to 2 years
Number of Participants Requiring Dose Modifications
Number of CLL participants with at least one ibrutinib treatment dose modification (that is, increase/decrease) will be reported.
Time frame: Approximately up to 2 years
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
The ORR will be calculated as the proportion of participants who achieve either complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or partial response with lymphocytosis, as assessed by the participating physician. The ORR in CLL participants as per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) criteria is defined as normal circulating lymphocyte count during CR and decrease by greater than or equal to (\>=) 50 percent (%) during PR.
Time frame: Approximately up to 2 years
Time to Best Response
Time to best response is defined as the time from start of ibrutinib therapy until best objective response. Best response will be evaluated based on the following generally accepted algorithm: complete response greater than (\>) partial response \> partial response with lymphocytosis \> stable disease \> progressive disease.
Time frame: Approximately up to 2 years
Time to Treatment Discontinuation(TTD)
Time to treatment discontinuation (TTD) will be calculated as the difference between ibrutinib initiation date and ibrutinib permanent discontinuation date.
Time frame: Approximately up to 2 years

Time to Next Therapy (TTNT)
The TTNT will be calculated as the difference between ibrutinib initiation date and initiation date of the first next therapy for CLL.
Time frame: Approximately up to 2 years
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as the duration from date of ibrutinib initiation to date of disease progression (PD \[according to the physician's evaluation\]) or death from any cause. PD is defined as \>= 50% increase in circulating lymphocyte count as per iwCLL criteria.
Time frame: From the date of assignment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 2 years
Overall Survival (OS)
The OS in CLL participants will be measured and reported from start of ibrutinib therapy to the date of death (all-cause mortality); and from diagnosis to the date of death.
Time frame: From the date of assignment until the date of death from any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 2 years
Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Change in Hematologic Parameters
Number of participants with change in hematologic parameters (complete blood count, hemoglobin, leukocyte count, lymphocyte count, neutrophil count, platelet count) will be determined.
Time frame: Approximately up to 2 years
Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Change in Biochemistry Parameters
Number of participants with clinically significant change in biochemistry parameters (including lactate dehydrogenase \[LDH\] and creatinine clearance) will be determined.
Time frame: Approximately up to 2 years
Change from Baseline in Immunoglobulin levels
Changes in the immunoglobulin levels from baseline will be reported.
Time frame: Baseline up to 2 years
Number of Participants with at least one Clinical Significant Characteristics
Number of participants with at least one of the following conditions: lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, bone marrow involvement, or B-symptoms as provided will be reported.
Time frame: Approximately 2 years
Number of Participants with Each Grade of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status Score
ECOG performance status is a standard criterion for measuring how the disease impacts daily living abilities. It describes the level of functioning in terms of the ability to care for oneself, daily activity, and physical ability (walking, working, etc). ECOG performance status score ranges from Grade 0 to 5: 0) Fully active and performances without restriction, 1) Restricted in physically strenuous activity, 2) Ambulatory and capable of all self-care but unable to carry out any work activities, 3) Capable of only limited self-care and confined to bed or chair more than 50% of waking hours, 4) Completely disabled, and 5) Dead.
Time frame: Approximately up to 2 years
Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Special Situations
An AE is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product. An SAE is any AE that results in: death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, is life-threatening experience, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect and may jeopardize participant and/or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. Percentage of participants with AEs, all serious AEs, and all special situations (for example, medication error, overdosing, abuse, lack of effect, unexpected benefits following exposure to ibrutinib) will be reported.
Time frame: Approximately up to 2 years
Health-Related Quality of Life as Measured by European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions; 5 Levels Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L)
The EQ-5D questionnaire is a brief, generic health-related quality of life assessment (HRQOL) that can also be used to incorporate participant preferences into health economic evaluations. The EQ-5D-5L descriptive system comprises the following 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression and as overall health using a "thermometer" visual analog scale with response options ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health) to 100 (best imaginable health).
Time frame: Approximately up to 2 years
Health-Related Quality of Life as Measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) Scores
EORTC QLQ-30 designed to measure cancer patients' physical, psychological and social functions. It is composed of multi-item scales (physical, role, social, emotional and cognitive functioning) and single items (pain, fatigue, financial impact, appetite loss, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, sleep disturbance and quality of life); high scores on the global and functional scales but low scores on the symptom scales indicate good QOL. QLQ-C30 has four-point scales for the first five items. These are coded with the same response categories as items 6 to 28, namely "Not at all", "A little", "Quite a bit" and "Very much." For items 29 and 30, a seven-point scale (ranging from 1 = "Very Poor" to 7 = "Excellent") rates overall health and overall quality of life.
