AbstractAdvanced follicular lymphoma is incurable with conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) conducted a phase 2 trial (S9911) of a novel regimen consisting of 6 cycles of CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) chemotherapy followed 4 to 8 weeks later by tositumomab/iodine I 131 tositumomab (anti-CD20 antibody) in 90 eligible patients with previously untreated, advanced stage follicular lymphoma. Treatment was well tolerated. Reversible myelosuppression was the main adverse event and was more severe during CHOP chemotherapy than following radioimmunotherapy. The overall response rate to the entire treatment regimen was 90%, including 67% complete remissions (CRs plus unconfirmed CRs [CRu's]) and 23% partial remissions (PRs). Twenty-seven (57%) of the 47 fully evaluable patients who achieved less than a CR with CHOP improved their remission status after tositumomab/iodine I 131 tositumomab. With a median follow-up of 2.3 years, the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) was estimated to be 81%, with a 2-year overall survival of 97%. This study has established the feasibility, tolerability, and efficacy of this regimen for patients with advanced follicular lymphoma. This novel treatment appears promising compared with the SWOG's historical experience using CHOP alone and is currently being compared with CHOP plus rituximab in a randomized phase 3 trial (S0016).

Purpose Obinutuzumab (GA101), a novel glycoengineered type II anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, demonstrated responses in single-arm studies of patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This is the first prospective, randomized study comparing safety and efficacy of obinutuzumab with rituximab in relapsed indolent lymphoma. The primary end point of this study was the overall response rate (ORR) in patients with follicular lymphoma after induction and safety in patients with indolent lymphoma. Patients and Methods A total of 175 patients with relapsed CD20+ indolent lymphoma requiring therapy and with previous response to a rituximab-containing regimen were randomly assigned (1:1) to four once-per-week infusions of either obinutuzumab (1,000 mg) or rituximab (375 mg/m2). Patients without evidence of disease progression after induction therapy received obinutuzumab or rituximab maintenance therapy every 2 months for up to 2 years. Results Among patients with follicular lymphoma (n = 149), ORR seemed higher for obinutuzumab than rituximab (44.6% v 33.3%; P = .08). This observation was also demonstrated by a blinded independent review panel that measured a higher ORR for obinutuzumab (44.6% v 26.7%; P = .01). However, this difference did not translate into an improvement in progression-free survival. No new safety signals were observed for obinutuzumab, and the incidence of adverse events was balanced between arms, with the exception of infusion-related reactions and cough, which were higher in the obinutuzumab arm. Conclusion Obinutuzumab demonstrated a higher ORR without appreciable differences in safety compared with rituximab. However, the clinical benefit of obinutuzumab in this setting remains unclear and should be evaluated within phase III trials.

Purpose Advanced follicular lymphoma (FL) is incurable with conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and optimal front-line management is controversial. This study was performed to determine the efficacy of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) chemotherapy followed by tositumomab/iodine I-131 tositumomab. Patients and Methods From 1999 to 2000, the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) conducted a phase II trial (S9911) to test a novel new regimen consisting of six cycles of CHOP chemotherapy followed 4 to 8 weeks later by tositumomab/iodine I-131 tositumomab in 90 eligible patients with previously untreated, advanced-stage FL. Results The overall response rate was 91%, including a 69% complete remission (CR) rate. After a median follow-up time of 5.1 years, the estimated 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 87%, and the progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 67%. The 5-year estimates of OS and PFS were each 23% better (absolute difference) than the corresponding figures for patients treated on previous SWOG protocols with CHOP alone. An analysis according to the Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index showed that 21% of patients had high-risk features, 44% had intermediate-risk features, and 34% had low-risk features. High-risk patients had worse OS than lower risk patients (P = .05), but differences in PFS were not statistically significant (P = .21). Serial monitoring of the t(14;18) translocation in bone marrow by polymerase chain reaction demonstrated that 32 of 38 informative patients obtained molecular CRs, including seven patients (18%) after CHOP and 24 additional patients (63%) after tositumomab/iodine I-131 tositumomab. (The timing of conversion of one patient was unclear.) Conclusion A prospective, phase III, randomized Intergroup Trial is currently underway comparing the efficacy of the promising CHOP + tositumomab/iodine I-131 tositumomab regimen with the efficacy of CHOP + rituximab.

Abstract BACKGROUND Selinexor is an FDA-approved first-in-class, oral selective nuclear export inhibitor which forces nuclear retention of many tumor suppressor proteins. METHODS We conducted a phase 2 trial of selinexor monotherapy for adults with recurrent GBM including a surgical arm to explore intratumoral PK and 3 medical arms to optimize dosing. Prior treatment with radiotherapy and temozolomide was required; prior bevacizumab was exclusionary. The primary endpoint was 6-month progression-free survival (6mPFS) rate. RESULTS Selinexor administered ~2 hours pre-operatively yieleded average intratumoral concentration (136 nM, n=6) comparable to the in vitro IC50 (130 nM) from 7 primary human GBM cell lines. Among all 68 patients accrued to 3 medical arms (~85 mg BIW, n=24; 60 mg BIW, n=14; 80 mg QW, n=30), median age was 56 years (21–78). Median number of prior lines of therapies was 2 (1–7). At 80 mg QW, 28% patients were progression-free at the end of cycle 6; the 6mPFS was 17%; disese control rate by RANO was 37% (1 CR, 2 PRs, 7 SD) among 27 evaluable patients; responses were durable (median 11.1 months), and treatment lasted for 442, 547 and 1282 days in 3 responders, as of data lock, with one responder remaining on treatment off study; median overall survival was 10.2 months with 95% CI (7.0, 15.4). The ~85 mg BIW-schedule was abandoned due to poor tolerability. The related adverse events (all grades) in patients on ~85 mg BIW/60 mg BIW/80 mg QW were nausea (41.7%/64.3%/66.7%), fatigue (70.8%/71.4%/50.0%), neutropenia (29.2%/14.3%/33.3%), decreased appetite (45.8%/71.4%/26.7%), thrombocytopenia (66.7%/28.6%/23.3%) and weight loss (16.7%,/42.9%/6.7%). CONCLUSION Selinexor monotherapy demonstrated encouraging intratumoral penetration and efficacy, with durable disease control in rGBM. Monotherapy dose at 80 mg QW is recommended for further development in rGBM. A phase 1/2 study of combination therapy for newly diagnosed or rGBM has been initiated (NCT04421378).

11516 Background: Eribulin and gemcitabine have shown encouraging efficacy in soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) as a monotherapy. Here, we evaluated the activity and safety of combined use of eribulin and gemcitabine in two most common histologic types of STS, liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. Methods: In this non-randomized, multi-center phase 2 study, patients were included if they had progressive disease after one or two prior chemotherapy including doxorubicin. Patient were given eribulin 1.4 mg/m2 and gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 on day1 and day 8 every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival rate at 12 weeks (PFSR12wks) with null and alternative hypothesis of PFSR12wks≤20.0% and ≥40.0%, respectively. Results: Of 37 patients included, 22 had leiomyosarcoma, and 15 had liposarcoma. At 12-weeks after treatment, 16 and (72.7%) 11 (73.3%) patients in leiomyosarcoma and liposarcoma were progression-free. Overall PFSR12wks was 73.0%, satisfying the primary endpoint. Objective response rate, disease control rate, median progression-free survival, and median overall survival were 16.2%, 78.4%, 23.9 weeks, and 88.9 weeks, without any statistical differences according to histologic subtypes. No new safety signals and treatment-related death were observed. Conclusions: Eribulin and gemcitabine showed promising activity and manageable safety profile in patients with STS of liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma histology. Updated outcomes for ongoing patients will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT03810976.
