Clinical efficacy and molecular biomarkers in a phase II study of tucidinostat plus R-CHOP in elderly patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Elderly patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) present with poor clinical outcome and intolerance to intensive chemotherapy. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) show anti-lymphoma activities and can be applied to treat DLBCL. This study aimed to evaluate efficacy and safety of oral HDACI tucidinostat (formerly known as chidamide) plus R-CHOP (CR-CHOP) in elderly patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL (International Prognostic Index ≥ 2).

Results

Among 49 patients, the complete response rate was 86%, with overall response rate achieving 94%. The 2-year progression survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 68% (95% CI 52-79) and 83% (95% CI 68-91). Comparing with historical control (NCT01852435), the 2-year PFS and OS rates of double-expressor lymphoma phenotype (DEL) were improved, and negative prognostic effect of histone acetyltransferases CREBBP/EP300 mutations was also mitigated by CR-CHOP. Grade 3-4 neutropenia was reported in 171, grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia in 27, and grade 3 anemia in 11 of 283 cycles. No grade 4 non-hematological adverse event was reported.

Conclusion

CR-CHOP is effective and safe in elderly patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL. Relevance of DEL phenotype and molecular biomarkers on CR-CHOP response warrants further investigation in DLBCL. Trial registration ClinicalTrial.gov, NCT02753647. Registered on April 28, 2016.

Project description:BackgroundIn patients with untreated CD20-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a phase 3 trial was carried out to evaluate the efficacy and safety of zuberitamab plus CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone; Hi-CHOP) versus rituximab plus CHOP (R-CHOP) treatment regimens.MethodsIn a 2:1 ratio, eligible patients were assigned randomly to receive treatment of six cycles of either 375 mg/m2 zuberitamab or rituximab together with conventional CHOP chemotherapy. The objective response rate (ORR) at C6D50 served as the primary endpoint, and a non-inferiority margin of 10% was established. The secondary endpoints included the complete response (CR) rate at C6D50, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS) and event-free survival (EFS) judged by blinded-independent review committee (BIRC), overall survival (OS) and safety outcomes.ResultsOf the 487 randomized patients, 423 patients including 287 in the Hi-CHOP and 136 in the R-CHOP groups completed the C6D50 assessment. For the full analysis set (FAS) and per-protocol set (PPS), BIRC-assessed ORR at C6D50 for the Hi-CHOP and R-CHOP groups were 83.5% versus 81.4% and 95.3% versus 93.7%, respectively. The non-inferiority was confirmed as the lower limit of the two-sided 95% CI for the intergroup differences of -5.2% and -3.3%; both were >-10% in the FAS and PPS. The BIRC-assessed CR rate of Hi-CHOP was significantly higher in PPS (85.7% vs 77.3%, p=0.038), but comparable in FAS (75.2% vs 67.9%, p=0.092). After a median follow-up of 29.6 months, patients in the Hi-CHOP group had a slight advantage with regard to the DOR (HR 0.74, p=0.173), PFS (HR 0.67, p=0.057), EFS (HR 0.90, p=0.517) and OS (HR 0.60, p=0.059). Patients with the germinal-center B cell-like subtype who received Hi-CHOP exhibited statistically significant improvements in ORR (p=0.034) and CR rate (p=0.038) at C6D50, EFS (p=0.046) and OS (p=0.014). Treatment-emergent adverse event occurrence rates were comparable across groups (all p>0.05). Infusion-related responses occurred more often in the Hi-CHOP group (32.1% vs 19.9%, p=0.006), all of grade 1-3 severity.ConclusionsZuberitamab (375 mg/m2) plus CHOP was non-inferior to R-CHOP regarding ORR but exhibited a higher CR rate and was well tolerated in CD20-positive, previously untreated Chinese patients with DLBCL.Trial registration numberChinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR2000040602, retrospectively registered.

Project description:BackgroundAngioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is known for its unfavorable survival prognosis. Chidamide has shown efficacy in relapsed/refractory AITL, but its efficacy in newly diagnosed AITL is uncertain.ObjectiveThis retrospective research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of chidamide when used with doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, prednisone, and vincristine (CHOP) in comparison to CHOP by itself for individuals newly diagnosed with AITL, and to examine the impact of transplantation.MethodThis was an analysis that compared outcomes among patients who received chidamide + CHOP on a clinical trial vs. historical controls who received CHOP alone, enrolling a total of sixty-six treatment-naive AITL patients between April 2014 and November 2022. Among them, thirty-three received chidamide in addition to CHOP (chidamide group), while thirty-three received CHOP alone (control group). The clinical characteristics were balanced between the two groups. All patients were scheduled to undergo up to six courses of treatment before transplantation.ResultsThe chidamide group had a significantly longer median overall survival (OS) compared to the control group, with a median OS that was not reached, as opposed to 20 months in the control group (p = 0.002). In the control group, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 11 months, while in the chidamide group, it was 22 months (p = 0.080). In the high-risk group (IPI ≥ 3), the chidamide group demonstrated notably superior complete response (CR) and overall response rate (ORR) compared to the control cohort (p = 0.002, p = 0.034). The PFS and OS in the chidamide group were not reached, and there were significant differences compared to the control group (p = 0.007, p = 0.003). The median OS of the transplanted group was longer than the non-transplanted group (p = 0.004). On multivariate analysis, chidamide group reduced the hazards of death in the total cohort.ConclusionAs the study was non-random and retrospective, Chidamide combined with chemotherapy should be tested in randomized trials given its potential to improve prognosis in treatment-naive AITL patients. Furthermore, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) has demonstrated enhanced overall survival in individuals with AITL.Clinical trial registrationhttps://clinicaltrials.gov/, NCT03268889.
