MRD-driven treatment with venetoclax-R2 in mantle cell lymphoma: the Nordic Lymphoma Group MCL7 VALERIA trial.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Despite improvements in treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), most patients eventually relapse. In this multicenter phase 1b/2 trial, we evaluated safety and efficacy of minimal residual disease (MRD)-driven venetoclax, lenalidomide, and rituximab (venetoclax-R2) in relapsed/refractory (R/R) MCL and explored the feasibility of stopping treatment in molecular remission. The primary end point was overall response rate (ORR) at 6 months. After dose escalation, the recommended phase 2 dose was lenalidomide 20 mg daily, days 1 to 21; venetoclax 600 mg daily after ramp-up; and rituximab 375 mg/m2 weekly for 4 weeks, then every 8 weeks. MRD monitoring by RQ-PCR was performed every 3 months. When MRD-negativity in the blood was reached, treatment was continued for another 3 mon
