A Phase 1b/2 Study of the ROR1-Targeting Monoclonal Antibody, Cirmtuzumab (UC-961), and the Bruton Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor, Ibrutinib, in Patients With B-Cell Lymphoid Malignancies

This is Phase 1b/2 study to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the investigational
drug, cirmtuzumab, when given in combination with ibrutinib in patients with B-cell lymphoid
malignancies. Cirmtuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that attaches to a protein (called ROR 1)
that is found on hematologic tumor cells. ROR1 has been shown to play a role in cell
signaling that cause leukemia and lymphoma cells to grow and survive. ROR1 is rarely found on
healthy cells.

This is a Phase 1b/2 study to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the investigational
drug, cirmtuzumab, when given in combination with ibrutinib in patients with B-cell lymphoid
malignancies. The Phase 1b will be conducted in two parts (Part 1 and Part 2). Part 1 is a
dose-finding evaluation of the sequential administration of cirmtuzumab monotherapy followed
by cirmtuzumab and ibrutinib combination therapy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia /small
lymphocytic leukemia (CLL/SLL) or previously treated mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) subjects who
have not received prior Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor therapy. Up to 48 subjects
will be enrolled in Part 1 to determine the recommended dosing regimen (RDR). In Part 2, up
to 18 subjects will be enrolled to further evaluate the safety and pharmacology of the
cirmtuzumab and ibrutinib combination given at the RDR determined in Part 1 of the study. In
the Phase 2 (Part 3) portion of the study, approximately 90 subjects with CLL/SLL who have
not received prior BTK inhibitor therapy will be randomized to either Arm 1 (cirmtuzumab and
ibrutinib) at the RDR or Arm 2 (ibrutinib alone) to evaluate the clinical activity and safety
of the two arms.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2

- Histological diagnosis of CLL/SLL or MCL as documented in medical records

- MCL has been previously treated and has relapsed after or progressed during prior
therapy

- A medically appropriate candidate for ibrutinib treatment (based on the judgement of
the clinical investigator)

- No history of prior BTK-inhibitor-containing therapy

- A medically appropriate candidate for ibrutinib treatment (based on the judgement of
the clinical investigator)

- Presence of radiographically measurable lymphadenopathy or extranodal lymphoid
malignancy (defined as the presence of ≥1 non-biopsied, non-irradiated lesion that
measures ≥2.0 cm in the longest dimension [LD] and ≥1.0 cm in the longest
perpendicular dimension [LPD] as assessed by computed tomography [CT] or magnetic
resonance imaging [MRI]).

- Current medical need for therapy due to disease-related symptoms, lymphadenopathy,
organomegaly, extranodal organ involvement, or progressive disease.

- Completion of all previous therapy (including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy,
immunotherapy, or investigational therapy) for the treatment of cancer ≥1 week before
the start of study therapy.

- All acute toxic effects of any prior antitumor therapy resolved to ≤ Grade 1 before
the start of study therapy (with the exceptions of alopecia, or neurotoxicity [Grade 1
or 2 permitted], or selected laboratory parameters [Grade 1 or Grade 2 permitted with
exceptions as noted below]).

- Adequate bone marrow function:

a) Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.0 × 109/L. b) Platelet count ≥50 × 109/L. b)
Hemoglobin ≥8.0 g/dL maintained for ≥1 week from any prior transfusion.

- Note: Grade ≥3 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, or anemia is permitted if the
abnormality is related to bone marrow involvement with hematological malignancy (as
documented by bone marrow biopsy/aspirate obtained since the last prior therapy).

- Adequate hepatic profile:

1. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤3 × upper limit of normal (ULN).

2. Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3 × ULN.

3. Serum bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN unless elevated due to Gilbert syndrome.

- Adequate renal function:

a) Estimated creatinine clearance (eClCR) >45 mL/minute (with eClCR to be calculated
by the Cockcroft-Gault formula), or b) Measured creatinine clearance >45 mL/minute (as
assessed with a 24-hour urine collection).

2. Adequate coagulation profile:

1. Prothrombin time (PT) ≤1.5 × ULN.

2. Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤1.5 × ULN.

- Negative viral serology:

1. Negative human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody.

2. Negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and negative hepatitis B core (HBc)
antibody or undetectable hepatitis B (HBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) by
quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing.

3. Negative hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody or negative HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA)
by quantitative PCR.

- For female subjects of childbearing potential, a negative urine or serum pregnancy
test prior to the start of study therapy.

- For female subjects of childbearing potential, willingness to use an effective method
of contraception from the start of the screening period until ≥3 months after the last
dose of cirmtuzumab and ≥1 month after the last dose of ibrutinib, whichever is later.
Note: A female subject is considered to be of childbearing potential unless she has
had a hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy; has medically
documented ovarian failure (with serum estradiol and follicle-stimulating hormone
[FSH] levels within the institutional laboratory postmenopausal range and a negative
serum or urine beta human chorionic gonadotropin [βHCG]); or is menopausal (age ≥50
years with amenorrhea for ≥6 months).

- For male subjects who can father a child and are having intercourse with females of
childbearing potential who are not using adequate contraception, willingness to use an
effective method of contraception from the start of study therapy until ≥3 months
after the last dose of cirmtuzumab and ≥1 month after the last dose of ibrutinib,
whichever is later, and to refrain from sperm donation from the start of study therapy
until ≥3 months after administration of the final dose of either of the study drugs.
Note: A male subject is considered able to father a child unless he has had a
bilateral vasectomy with documented aspermia or a bilateral orchiectomy.

- In the judgment of the investigator, participation in the protocol offers an
acceptable benefit-to-risk ratio when considering current disease status, medical
condition, and the potential benefits and risks of alternative treatments for the
subject's cancer.

administration plan, protocol-specified laboratory tests, other study procedures, and
study restrictions.

- Evidence of a personally signed informed consent indicating that the subject is aware
of the neoplastic nature of the disease and has been informed of the procedures to be
followed, the experimental nature of the therapy, alternatives, potential risks and
discomforts, potential benefits, and other pertinent aspects of study participation.

Exclusion Criteria:

transformation). Note: Biopsy documentation of the absence or presence of
transformation is not required.

- Known central nervous system malignancy. Note: Central nervous system imaging is only
required in subjects with suspected central nervous system malignancy.

affect subject safety or longevity, create the potential for drug-drug interactions,
or compromise the interpretation of study results.

diarrheal illness, bowel obstruction) that might interfere with drug absorption or
with interpretation of gastrointestinal AEs.
