Anti-CCR4 Monoclonal Antibody, Mogamulizumab, Demonstrates Significant Improvement in PFS Compared to Vorinostat in Patients with Previously Treated Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL): Results from the Phase III MAVORIC Study

Youn H. Kim, et al.

The authors of the study conclude:

In this first report of a randomized Phase III study evaluating PFS as primary endpoint in CTCL, Moga, a novel CCR4-targeting antibody therapy, demonstrated significantly superior PFS, ORR, and QoL compared to Vor in patients with previously treated CTCL. The safety profile was consistent with previous reports. This study supports Moga as a valuable new therapeutic option in patients with CTCL.

Pralatrexate in Combination with Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednison (CHOP) in Previously Untreated Patients with Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL): A Phase 1 Dose-Escalation Study

Andrei R. Shustov, et al.

The authors of the study conclude:

The combination of pralatrexate and CHOP was well tolerated in treatment-naive PTCL patients. MTD of pralatrexate was not reached, and the protocol-defined maximum dose of 30 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day CHOP cycle was recomended for future studies. The observed OR and CR rates warrant further evaluation of this regimen in newly diagnosed PTCL patients.

In Vitro, In Vivo, and Parallel Phase I Evidence Support the Safety and Activity of Duvelisib, a PI3K-δ,γ Inhibitor, in Combination with Romidepsin or Bortezomib in Relapsed/Refractory T-Cell Lymphoma

Alison J. Moskowitz, et al.

The authors of the study conclude:

DUV shows activity in T-cell lymphomas with pre-clinical evidence of both tumor cell-autonomous and non-autonomous effects. The combinations of DUV plus romidepsin and DUV plus bortezomib are safe and well tolerated, with limited incidence of AST/ALT elevation from romidepsin+DUV. Promising response rates of at least 50% were observed across TCL histologies with both regimens. Expansion cohorts of pts with peripheral and cutaneous TCL are currently enrolling.

Phase 1 Study of the Safety and Efficacy of MRG-106, a Synthetic Inhibitor of microRNA-155, in CTCL Patients

Christiane Querfeld, et al.

The authors of the study conclude:

These preliminary results suggest that MRG-106 is well-tolerated and has clinical activity as indicated by meaningful reductions in CAILS and mSWAT assessments. Exploratory analyses of lesion biopsies support the clinical activity of MRG-106 with reductions in T cell clonality and gene expression changes consistent with the known mechanism of miR-155. These encouraging data support the continued investigation of MRG-106 in MF patients and expansion of the study to include additional hematological malignancies in which miR-155 is known to be elevated and relevant.

A Phase Ib/IIa Trial of the Combination of Romidepsin, Lenalidomide and Carfilzomib in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Lymphoma Shows Complete Responses in Relapsed and Refractory B- and T-Cell Lymphomas

Neha Mehta-Shah, et al.

The authors of the study conclude:

The MTD dose for phase 2 study was identified as romidepsin 8mg/m2, lenalidomide 15mg and carfilzomib 36mg/m2. No unexpected toxicities have emerged. At this dose, the overall response rate for BCL and TCL was 50%. Responses were seen across various BCL and TCL histologies. In particular, in AITL, the regimen has shown responses in all 5 patients. Given the promising overall and complete response rates, the regimen warrants further study.

The Impact of Upfront Autologous Transplant on the Survival of Adult Patients with ALCL and PTCL-NOS According to Their ALK, DUSP22 and TP63 Gene Rearrangement Status – a Joined Nordic Lymphoma Group and Mayo Clinic Analysis

Martin Bjerregård Pedersen, et al.

The authors of the study conclude:

In ALK-ALCL and PTCL-NOS patients from the NLG-T-01 trial, DUSP22r+ was associated with a very good outcome, similar to that seen in DUSP22r+ patients who had not undergone upfront autologous transplant. This observation supports the impression that upfront HDT/ASCT may not be of benefit in these patients. TP63r+ predicted poor outcome in non-transplanted patients. The impact of HDT/ASCT in the TP63r+ setting could not be adequately evaluated, since only one patient from the NLG-T-01 trial cohort was found to be TP63r+. Notably, this patient was the only survivor of the TP63r+ subset. For DUSP22r-, ALK-ALCL and PTCL-NOS patients taken as one group, those who received upfront HDT/ASCT had a superior survival compared to their age- and IPI-matched non-transplanted counterparts.
