Combined therapy with ibrutinib and bortezomib followed by ibrutinib maintenance in relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma and high-risk features: a phase 1/2 trial of the European MCL network (SAKK 36/13).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib and the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib have single-agent activity, non-overlapping toxicities, and regulatory approval in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). In vitro, their combination provides synergistic cytotoxicity. In this investigator-initiated phase 1/2 trial, we established the recommended phase 2 dose of ibrutinib in combination with bortezomib, and assessed its efficacy in patients with relapsed or refractory MCL.

Methods

In this phase 1/2 study open in 15 sites in Switzerland, Germany and Italy, patients with relapsed or refractory MCL after ≤2 lines of chemotherapy and both ibrutinib-naïve and bortezomib-naïve received six cycles of ibrutinibb and bortezomib, followed by ibrutinib maintenance. For the phase 1
