Dataset Information

A phase I/II study of 10-min dosing of bendamustine hydrochloride (rapid infusion formulation) in patients with previously untreated indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, or relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This phase I/II clinical study was conducted to examine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of 10-min dosing of bendamustine in patients with previously untreated indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) (Group 1) and patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (rrDLBCL) (Group 2).

Methods

Rituximab 375 mg/m² was administered intravenously every 28 days to Group 1 patients on day 1 and every 21 days to Group 2 patients on day 1. Bendamustine 90 mg/m²/day was administered to the former on days 1 and 2; bendamustine 120 mg/m²/day was administered to the latter on days 2 and 3. Each regimen was delivered up to six cycles for both groups. The primary endpoints were safety and tolerability in Groups 1 and 2, respectively.

Results

Among 37 enrolled patients, safety was assessed in 36. In Group 1 (n = 30), 27 patients (90%) had follicular lymphoma. Adverse events (AEs) were observed in all 30 patients in Group 1. Dose-limiting toxicities were observed in two of six patients in Group 2. Common AEs included lymphocyte count decreased (86.7%, 100%). In Group 1, overall response and complete response rates were 93.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] 77.2-99.2%) and 75.9% (95% CI 56.5-89.7%), respectively. The C_max and AUC of bendamustine tended to be higher in Group 2 than in Group 1.

Conclusions

This study showed that bendamustine is safe, well-tolerated and effective for patients with previously untreated iNHL, MCL or rrDLBCL. Pharmacokinetic data were equivalent to those obtained outside of Japan.

Project description:AbstractBendamustine is among the most effective chemotherapeutics for indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (iNHL), but trial reports of significant toxicity, including opportunistic infections and excess deaths, led to prescriber warnings. We conducted a multicenter observational study evaluating bendamustine toxicity in real-world practice. Patients receiving at least 1 dose of bendamustine with/without rituximab (R) for iNHL were included. Demographics, lymphoma and treatment details, and grade 3 to 5 adverse events (AEs) were analyzed and correlated. In total, 323 patients were enrolled from 9 National Health Service hospitals. Most patients (96%) received bendamustine-R, and 46%, R maintenance. Overall, 21.7% experienced serious AEs (SAE) related to treatment, including infections in 12%, with absolute risk highest during induction (63%), maintenance (20%), and follow-up (17%) and the relative risk highest during maintenance (54%), induction (34%), and follow-up (28%). Toxicity led to permanent treatment discontinuation for 13% of patients, and 2.8% died of bendamustine-related infections (n = 5), myelodysplastic syndrome (n = 3), and cardiac disease (n = 1). More SAEs per patient were reported in patients with mantle cell lymphoma, poor preinduction performance status (PS), poor premaintenance PS, and abnormal preinduction total globulins and in those receiving growth factors. Use of antimicrobial prophylaxis was variable, and 3 of 10 opportunistic infections occurred despite prophylaxis. In this real-world analysis, bendamustine-related deaths and treatment discontinuation were similar to those of trial populations of younger, fitter patients. Poor PS, mantle cell histology, and maintenance R were potential risk factors. Infections, including late onset events, were the most common treatment-related SAE and cause of death, warranting extended antimicrobial prophylaxis and infectious surveillance, especially for maintenance-treated patients.
