Treatment Agent: Zanubrutinib

Synopsis: You are being asked to take part in this study because you have been diagnosed with a cancer called Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL).

The purpose of this study is to study the safety and efficacy of the study drug zanubrutinib (also known as BGB-3111) in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) patients who discontinued prior ibrutinib treatment due to toxicities. 

Zanubrutinib is an experimental drug. This means that it has not been approved for use by the regulatory agencies in any country, but it can be used in research studies such as this one. As of September 2018, zanubrutinib has been given to approximately 1200 participants who are taking or have taken part in research studies with zanubrutinib as a single drug or in combination with another anticancer drug.

Zanubrutinib blocks a protein called Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK). BTK helps CLL/SLL cells live and grow. By blocking BTK, zanubrutinib is capable of stopping or slowing down the growth and activity of CLL/SLL cells, which can lead to improvement in the symptoms associated with CLL/SLL. However, not all patients will improve to the same degree, and some patients might not improve at all.

Treatment Agent: N/A

Synopsis: The purpose of this study is to gather data on patients like you, who have been diagnosed with classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL).  The study aims to collect information on how treatment for cHL is rendered, as well as assess the outcome of those treatment options.

Close

• Histologically confirmed diagnosis of Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL)
• Patients who are treatment-naïve, or are within ± 2 weeks beginning any line of therapy at time of enrollment
• Patients must be within ± 2 weeks of Day 1 of the first cycle of any line of therapy to enroll; a cycle is practice-defined for chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy-based regimens.
• Any Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) or Karnofsky performance status (PS)
• Patients must have available medical records for the date of diagnosis of cHL and available medical records documenting any prior treatment and treatment dates for the Hodgkin lymphoma, including chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and other anti-cancer therapy received.
• Patients must consent for use of their FFPE tissue blocks for exploratory analyses

Close

• Patients on supportive care only and not receiving anti-cancer therapy are not eligible to enroll
• Patients with unknown date of diagnosis of cHL
• Patients whose prior cHL therapy, and dates of therapy (eg, surgery, radiation, or drug therapy) are unknown
• Any other non-HL (non-Hodgkin Lymphoma) active malignancy for which the patient is receiving treatment
• Patients participating in a clinical study that does not allow enrollment into a non-interventional study
• Patients enrolled who go on to receive only supportive, palliative, hospice, or end-of-life care remain on study and should not be discontinued from follow-up.

Other protocol defined inclusion/exclusion criteria could apply
