The RESONATETM-2 (PCYC-1115-CA) Clinical Trial A resource guide for patients and their families
The purpose of this study is to test whether or not the
investigational (experimental) study drug (ibrutinib, also known
as "PCI-32765") works and is safe in patients with CLL / SLL. It
compares ibrutinib to the FDA-approved drug chlorambucil.
This study is being conducted in patients who are age 65 or
older, who have not received prior treatment for their CLL / SLL.
The number of visits wil depend on the duration of your
This study is expected to last about 3 years. The length of time
that you take part in this study depends on how wel your
cancer responds to the study treatment. It also depends on the
side effects you might have because of the study treatment.
You may be reimbursed for reasonable transportation costs for
travelling to and from the clinic. Please ask your study doctor if

• A clinical trial is a study in which doctors learn about potential new medicines and
• The goal of a clinical trial is to learn if a medicine works and is safe in certain people by
studying those people under carefully managed conditions.
• In a clinical trial, a potential new medicine is often compared with an approved drug to
test if it is useful for that particular disease.
• The RESONATETM-2 clinical research trial is a trial to learn how a potential new medicine,
ibrutinib (PCI-32765), affects people who have been diagnosed with B-cel chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or CLL. This study is being done in patients who are age 65 or older, and who have not received prior treatment for their CLL.
• Patients will either receive ibrutinib, or the FDA-approved drug chlorambucil, and the
activity and safety will be compared in patients treated with the two agents.
• The purpose of this study is to find out and compare:
o How wel the study treatments control CLL o How the CLL cel s respond to the study treatments
o The side effects of the study treatments o How long the study drugs stay in the blood
• Chlorambucil is approved by the FDA and certain other global health authorities for

How does the RESONATETM-2 (PCYC-1115-CA) study work?
• About 272 patients around the world wil take part in this study. • Patients who take part in the RESONATETM-2 study will be randomly assigned by a
computer to one of two groups. Al patients wil have an equal chance of being placed in either group:
o Patients in Treatment Group A will receive chlorambucil o Patients in Treatment Group B will receive ibrutinib
• All patients who take part in the RESONATETM-2 study will be closely monitored by the
study doctor at least once a month to see if their disease is getting worse.

What are the risks associated with taking chlorambucil?
As with any other cancer treatment, there may be side effects or risks associated with taking chlorambucil.
The most common serious side effects seen in CLL patients taking chlorambucil (1 or more
occurrences in every 3 – 30 patients) were:
• Neutropenia (low white blood cells, these are the cells that help fight infection) • Anemia (low red blood cells) • Thrombocytopenia (low platelets, these are the cells that help your blood clot)
Additional common side effects (1 or more occurrences in every 3-5 patients) were:
If you decide to participate in the RESONATETM-2 clinical research trial, your doctor will closely watch for side effects. Your doctor may be able to give you medications to help treat the side effects or keep them from becoming worse.

• Ibrutinib is in a class of drugs called kinase inhibitors. Kinases are proteins inside cells
that help cells live and grow. Ibrutinib is believed to block a kinase that helps blood cancer cells live and grow. By blocking this kinase, it is possible that the cancer cells may die or stop growing.
• Ibrutinib is also being tested in other studies in patients who have other blood cancers.
Over 550 patients have received the study drug in six clinical studies sponsored by Pharmacyclics, Inc., including more than 250 patients with CLL or SLL.
• Ibrutinib is an experimental drug that is currently being tested and is not approved by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any other global health authorities.
What are the risks associated with taking ibrutinib?
Your study doctor wil discuss with you the side effects that have been seen with ibrutinib. The most common side effects seen (1 or more occurrences in every 3 – 4 patients) were:
Less common side effects (1 or more occurrences in every 5-7 patients) include:
• Peripheral edema (swelling of the hand or feet)
• Upper respiratory infection (a cold)
If you decide to participate in the RESONATETM-2 study, your doctor will closely watch for side effects. Your doctor may be able to give you medications to help treat the side effects or keep them from becoming worse. Your study doctor may also choose to stop the ibrutinib for a short time to al ow you to get better from any side effects.
