A trial to see the effects of increased doses of ACP-196 (the test drug) in subjects with Leukemia

Prior treatment

• Grade ≥ 2 toxicity (other than alopecia) continuing from prior anticancer therapy including radiation
• History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug
• Requires treatment with proton pump inhibitors [PPIs] (e.g.,omeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, dexlansoprazole, rabeprazole, or pantoprazole). Note: this criterion no longer applies to patients who have switched from acalabrutinib capsules to tablets.
• Requires anticoagulation with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists (e.g., phenprocoumon) within 7 days of first dose of study drug
• Major surgery within 4 weeks before first dose of study drug
• Concurrent participation in another therapeutic clinical trial
• Presence of a gastrointestinal ulcer diagnosed by endoscopy within 3 months before screening.
• Any immunotherapy within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug.
• For subjects with recent chemotherapy or experimental therapy the first dose of study drug must occur after 5 times the half-life of the agent(s).
• Relapsed after, or refractory to, prior BTK inhibitor therapy (Note: Does not apply to Ibrutinib R/R or Richter's Syndrome Group).

Other illness

• Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or serologic status indicating active hepatitis C virus (HCV) or hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or any uncontrolled active systemic infection. Subjects with hepatitis B core antibody positive who are surface antigen negative or who are hepatitis C antibody positive will need to have a negative PCR result before enrollment. Those who are hepatitis B surface antigen positive or hepatitis B PCR positive and those who are hepatitis C PCR positive will be excluded.
• A life-threatening illness, medical condition or organ system dysfunction which, in the investigator's opinion, could compromise the subject's safety, interfere with the absorption or metabolism of acalabrutinib, or put the study outcomes at undue risk.
• Cardiac troponin I levels above the limit of normal as specified by the manufacturer.
• History of bleeding diathesis (e.g. hemophilia, von Willebrand disease).
• Malabsorption syndrome, disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function, or resection of the stomach or small bowel, symptomatic inflammatory bowel disease, partial or complete bowel obstruction, or gastric restrictions and bariatric surgery, such as gastric bypass.
• Any history of Richter's transformation (Note: Does not apply to Richter's Syndrome Group).

Lab values

• Uncontrolled AIHA or ITP defined as declining hemoglobin or platelet count secondary to autoimmune destruction within the screening period or requirement for high doses of steroids (> 20 mg daily of prednisone daily or equivalent).
• ANC < 0.75 x 109/L or platelet count < 50 x 109/L unless there is bone marrow involvement
• Total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN (total bilirubin ≤ 2.5 x ULN allowed in subjects with autoimmune hemolytic anemia that is otherwise controlled); AST or ALT > 3.0 x ULN unless disease related.
• Serum amylase > 1.5 x ULN or serum lipase > 1.5 x ULN.
• Significant screening ECG abnormalities including 2nd degree AV block type II, 3rd degree block, Grade 2 or higher bradycardia, or QTc ≥ 480 ms
• Estimated creatinine clearance of < 30 mL/min, calculated using the formula of Cockcroft and Gault [(140-Age) • Mass (kg)/(72 • creatinine mg/dL) multiply by 0.85 if female].
• Significant cardiovascular disease such as uncontrolled or symptomatic arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction within 6 months of screening, or any Class 3 or 4 cardiac disease as defined by the New York Heart Association Functional Classification, or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 40%.

Age

• Prior malignancy, except for adequately treated basal cell, squamous cell skin cancer or in situ cervical cancer. Subjects with other prior malignancies from which the subject has been disease free for ≥ 2 years may be included if approved by the medical monitor

Other

• Breast feeding or pregnant
• Central nervous system (CNS) involvement by lymphoma

• Men and women ≥ 18 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of CLL/SLL, which has relapsed after, or been refractory to, ≥ 2 previous treatments for CLL/SLL.
• For Treatment Subgroups: Richter's Syndrome and Prolymphocytic Leukemia Transformation only: Men and women ≥ 18 years of age with biopsy proven DLBCL Richter's transformation or prolymphocytic leukemia transformation
• For Treatment Subgroups: Ibrutinib R/R only: Men and women ≥ 18 years of age with confirmed diagnosis of CLL/SLL whose best response after 2 cycles of ibrutinib therapy was SD or nonresponse or who initially responded to ibrutinib therapy and now have signs of clinical progression
• Must have measurable CLL/SLL defined as ≥ 1 lymph node ≥ 2 cm as measured in the longest diameter.
• Active disease meeting ≥ 1 of the following IWCLL 2008 criteria for requiring treatment: o Evidence of progressive marrow failure as manifested by the development of, or worsening of, anemia (hemoglobin < 10 g/dL) and/or thrombocytopenia (platelets < 100,000/μL). o Massive (i.e., ≥ 6 cm below the left costal margin), progressive, or symptomatic splenomegaly. o Massive nodes (i.e., ≥ 10 cm in the longest diameter), progressive, or symptomatic lymphadenopathy. o Progressive lymphocytosis with an increase of > 50% over a 2-month period or a lymphocyte doubling time (LDT) of < 6 months. LDT may be obtained by linear regression extrapolation of absolute lymphocyte counts (ALC) obtained at intervals of 2 weeks over an observation period of 2 to 3 months. In subjects with initial blood lymphocyte counts of <30 X 109/L (30,000/μL), LDT should not be used as a single parameter to define indication for treatment. In addition, factors contributing to lymphocytosis or lymphadenopathy other than CLL (e.g., infections) should be excluded. o Autoimmune anemia and/or thrombocytopenia that is poorly responsive to standard therapy. o Constitutional symptoms documented in the subject's chart with supportive objective measures, as appropriate, defined as ≥ 1 of the following disease-related symptoms or signs: - Unintentional weight loss ≥ 10% within the previous 6 months before Screening.  - Fevers higher than 100.5°F or 38.0°C for 2 or more weeks before Screening without evidence of infection.  - Night sweats for > 1 month before screening without evidence of infection.

• Willing and able to participate in all required evaluations and procedures in this study protocol including swallowing capsules or tablets without difficulty.
• Ability to understand the purpose and risks of the study and provide signed and dated informed consent and authorization to use protected health information (in accordance with national and local subject privacy regulations).
• For Treatment Subgroups: Ibrutinib Intolerant only: Men and women ≥ 18 years of age with confirmed diagnosis of CLL/SLL who are not tolerating ibrutinib due to ibrutinib-related AEs.
