Aggressive Lymphoma (Diffuse Large B-Cell and Other Aggressive B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas)—Results from Prospective Clinical Trials: New Agents

397  Safety and Efficacy of Venetoclax Combined with Rituximab, Ifosfamide, Carboplatin and Etoposide Chemoimmunotherapy (VICER) for Treatment of Relapsed Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma: Results from the Phase 1 Study

Paolo Caimi, et al.

The Abstract concludes: In this Phase 1 study, VICER shows encouraging antilymphoma activity in r/r DLBCL, including double hit/double expressor lymphomas, with high rates of complete metabolic response (69% CR by PET), which is higher than historical levels reported with R-ICE alone (CR typically <45%). The RP2D of VEN is 800 mg. Hematologic toxicity - particularly neutropenia - is common, and G-CSF support as well as antibiotic prophylaxis are necessary to prevent infectious complications. Updated safety, progression-free survival and response data will be presented at the meeting.

 

398  Interim Results from the First-in-Human Clinical Trial of Adct-402 (Loncastuximab Tesirine), a Novel Pyrrolobenzodiazepine-Based Antibody Drug Conjugate, in Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

John Radford, et al.

The Abstract concludes: In this Phase 1 study, Lonca-T has demonstrated encouraging and durable single-agent antitumor activity and manageable toxicity in pts with R/R DLBCL at doses ≥120 µg/kg. Updated safety, tolerability, and efficacy results will be presented at the meeting.

399  Mosunetuzumab, a Full-Length Bispecific CD20/CD3 Antibody, Displays Clinical Activity in Relapsed/Refractory B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL): Interim Safety and Efficacy Results from a Phase 1 Study

Lihua E Budde, et al.

The Abstract concludes: Mosunetuzumab is clinically active in R/R B-cell NHL. The safety profile, with MTD not yet reached and with most AEs being low-grade and manageable, appears favorable compared to current standard anti-lymphoma therapies including T-cell directed agents. Mosunetuzumab monotherapy shows promising and durable efficacy in FL and in DLBCL.

 

400  Open-Label, Phase 2 Study of Blinatumomab As Second Salvage Therapy in Adults with Relapsed/Refractory Aggressive B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Luke Coyle, et al.

The Abstract concludes: In patients with r/r aggressive B-NHL and predominantly progressive disease following ≥2 cycles of platinum-based S1 chemotherapy, blinatumomab monotherapy as S2 therapy induced CMR/PMR in 37% of patients and led to HSCT in 20%. When considering that 66% of the patients enrolled had progressive disease and that 47% received the therapeutic dose, blinatumomab showed promising efficacy consistent with the efficacy and safety demonstrated in earlier blinatumomab B-NHL trials and potentially offers a treatment option for patients unresponsive to standard salvage regimens.

 

401  Lenalidomide Maintenance after Autologous Transplantation Prolongs PFS in Young MCL Patients: Results of the Randomized Phase III MCL 0208 Trial from Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL)

Marco Ladetto1, et al.

The Abstract concludes: Results from the MCL0208 trial indicate that LM has a clinically meaningful anti-lymphoma activity in MCL. However, the applicability of LM has some limitations in the context of patients undergoing intensified chemoimmunotherapy. Overall these data support the use of a maintenance regimen after ASCT in young MCL patients.

 

402  The iR2 Regimen (Ibrutinib, Lenalidomide, and Rituximab) Is Active with a Manageable Safety Profile in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Non-Germinal Center-like Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Radhakrishnan Ramchandren, et al.

The Abstract concludes: The iR2 combination regimen of 560 mg ibrutinib, 20 mg lenalidomide, and 375 mg/m2 rituximab demonstrated promising activity with a manageable safety profile in these difficult-to-treat R/R non-GCB DLBCL patients ineligible for SCT. Evaluation of the iR2 regimen using a dose of 25 mg lenalidomide and biomarker analyses, including GEP, are ongoing.
