Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogenous subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Relapsed/refractory disease represents remains an unmet medical need, despite the introduction of novel cellular and targeted therapies. Loncastuximab tesirine is a cluster of differentiation19-targeting antibody-drug conjugate approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for relapsed DLBCL after 2 lines of systemic therapy based on a trial showing a 48.3% overall response rate. The spectrum of its clinical applications is expanding and is now being tested in other B-cell malignancies.

Project description:Loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl (ADC Therapeutics) is an anti-CD19 antibody-drug conjugate which consists of anti-CD19 antibody and cytotoxic alkylating agent, SG3199. Data from preclinical in vitro and animal studies demonstrated its selectivity and efficacy. The phase I LOTIS-1 study for relapsed, refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) demonstrated efficacy and a tolerable safety profile, with major adverse effects being neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, elevated liver enzymes, and fluid accumulation. Based on pharmacokinetics analysis in this study, a dose of 150 μg/kg every 3 weeks for cycles 1 and 2 followed by 75 μg/kg every 3 weeks until disease progression or intolerability was chosen for the phase II LOTIS-2 study. This study recruited relapsed, refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and confirmed similar safety profile. Overall response rate was 48.6% (24.1% complete response), and overall survival was 9.9 months. Due to its safety and efficacy reported in the above trials, loncastuximab tesirine was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of relapsed, refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Several clinical trials are ongoing to assess its safety and efficacy in NHL in various clinical settings.

Project description:Rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) is the current standard therapy for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and is curative in ∼60% of patients. Atezolizumab is a humanized immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody that targets programmed death-ligand 1 and has previously shown antitumor activity in several tumor types. In a phase 1b/2 trial (NCT02596971), we evaluated the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab in combination with R-CHOP (atezo-R-CHOP; for 6-8 cycles) in patients with previously untreated DLBCL. Patients achieving a complete response (CR) at the end of induction received consolidation therapy with atezolizumab on day 1 of each 21-day cycle for an additional 17 cycles. Overall, 42 patients with DLBCL were included in this analysis. The primary endpoint, CR rate at the end of induction, as assessed by an independent review committee (modified Lugano 2014 criteria), was 77.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 64.0-87.7; n = 40). Investigator-assessed progression-free survival and overall survival at 3 years were 77.4% (95% CI, 59.7-88.0) and 87.2% (95% CI, 71.9-94.5), respectively. All treated patients experienced ≥1 adverse event (AE; 32 patients [76.2%] had grade 3-4 AE). One patient had a fatal AE (unconfirmed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy) that was considered related to atezolizumab and rituximab, and 17 patients (40.5%) experienced atezolizumab-related AEs of special interest. In previously untreated patients with DLBCL, atezo-R-CHOP demonstrated encouraging clinical efficacy and a safety profile consistent with the known toxicities of the individual drugs. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02596971.

Project description:The efficacy of loncastuximab tesirine (lonca) following chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) progression/failure is unknown. Hence, we sought to examine real-world use and outcomes of lonca following CAR-T in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the USA. In this retrospective study, we included adults (age ≥ 18 years) with R/R DLBCL who received lonca monotherapy as third- (3 L) or fourth line (4 L) treatment after progressing on second line (2 L) or 3 L CAR-T, respectively. Post-CAR-T lonca outcomes included response rates (overall response rate [ORR] and complete response [CR] rate), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). A total of 118 patients were included in the analysis with 95 receiving lonca following 2 L CAR-T (median age:66 years; 61% male) and 23 following 3 L CAR-T (median age:57 years; 43% male). Patients with 2 L CAR-T/3 L lonca had an ORR of 73% (CR rate of 34%). With a median follow-up of 8.5 months following lonca initiation, median DOR, PFS, and OS were not reached. The DOR, PFS, and OS at 12 months were 68%, 77%, and 84%, respectively. Patients with 3 L CAR-T/4 L lonca had an ORR of 78% (CR rate of 17%). With a median follow-up of 13 months following lonca initiation, the median DOR and PFS were 7.6 and 12.0 months, while median OS was not reached. OS at 12 months was 95%. In this study, we found that lonca monotherapy was an effective treatment option in R/R DLBCL in 3 L and 4 L settings including those who were resistant to or progressed after CAR-T.

Project description:Approximately 60% of patients with diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (DLBCL) are curable with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) chemoimmunotherapy. Epratuzumab (E) is an unlabeled anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody with efficacy in relapsed DLBCL. This phase 2 trial tested the safety and efficacy of combining E with R-CHOP (ER-CHOP) in untreated DLBCL. A secondary aim was to assess the efficacy of interim positron emission tomography (PET) to predict outcome in DLBCL. Standard R-CHOP with the addition of E 360 mg/m(2) intravenously was administered for 6 cycles. A total of 107 patients were enrolled in the study. Toxicity was similar to standard R-CHOP. Overall response rate in the 81 eligible patients was 96% (74% CR/CRu) by computed tomography scan and 88% by PET. By intention to treat analysis, at a median follow-up of 43 months, the event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) at 3 years in all 107 patients were 70% and 80%, respectively. Interim PET was not associated with EFS or OS. Comparison with a cohort of 215 patients who were treated with R-CHOP showed an improved EFS in the ER-CHOP patients. ER-CHOP is well tolerated and results appear promising as a combination therapy. This study was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00301821.

Project description:The phase 3 VIALE-A trial reported that venetoclax in combination with azacitidine significantly improved response rates and overall survival compared with azacitidine alone in older, unfit patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the cost-effectiveness of azacitidine-venetoclax in this clinical setting is unknown. In this study, we constructed a partitioned survival model to compare the cost and effectiveness of azacitidine-venetoclax with azacitidine alone in previously untreated AML. Event-free and overall survival curves for each treatment strategy were derived from the VIALE-A trial using parametric survival modeling. We calculated the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of azacitidine-venetoclax from a US-payer perspective. Azacitidine-venetoclax was associated with an improvement of 0.61 quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) compared with azacitidine alone. However, the combination led to significantly higher lifetime health care costs (incremental cost, $159 595), resulting in an ICER of $260 343 per QALY gained. The price of venetoclax would need to decrease by 60% for azacitidine-venetoclax to be cost-effective at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $150 000 per QALY. These data suggest that use of azacitidine-venetoclax for previously untreated AML patients who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy is unlikely to be cost-effective under current pricing. Significant price reduction of venetoclax would be required to reduce the ICER to a more widely acceptable value.

Project description:Bendamustine in combination with rituximab (BR) has been associated with high response rates and acceptable toxicity in older patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Evaluation of BR is warranted in the front-line setting for DLBCL patients not eligible for anthracyclines or for the elderly. In this phase II study, we enrolled DLBCL patients aged ≥65 years who were poor candidates for R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) to determine the efficacy and safety of BR in previously untreated stage II-IV DLBCL. Twenty-three patients were enrolled with a median age of 80 years. 52% of patients presented with poor functional status (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score of ≥2). The overall response rate was 78% with 12 complete responses (52%). At a median follow up of 29 months, the median overall survival was 10·2 months and the median progression-free survival was 5·4 months. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were haematological. Combination therapy with BR demonstrates high response rates as front-line therapy in frail older patients with DLBCL, but survival rates were low. BR should be used with caution in future clinical trials involving older DLBCL patients with poor functional status.

Project description:CD19-targeting treatments have shown promise in relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Loncastuximab tesirine (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl [Lonca]) is a CD19-targeting antibody-drug conjugate indicated for R/R DLBCL after at least two systemic treatments. CD19 expression was evaluated in patients receiving Lonca in the LOTIS-2 clinical trial with available tissue samples obtained after last systemic therapy/before Lonca treatment. Lonca cytotoxicity was evaluated in a panel of six lymphoma cell lines with various CD19 expression levels. Quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) modelling was used to predict Lonca responses. Lonca responses were seen in patients across all CD19 expression levels, including patients with low/no detectable CD19 expression and H-scores at baseline. Similarly, Lonca induced cytotoxicity in cell lines with different levels of CD19 expression, including one with very low expression. QSP modelling predicted that CD19 expression by immunohistochemistry alone does not predict Lonca response, whereas inclusion of CD19 surface density improved response prediction. Virtual patients responded to Lonca with estimated CD19 as low as 1000 molecules/cell of CD19, normally below the immunohistochemistry detection level. We found Lonca is an effective treatment for R/R DLBCL regardless of CD19 expression by immunohistochemistry. These results provide the basis for future studies addressing CD19-targeted agent sequencing.
