Safety and Effectiveness of Idelalisib in Patients with Double-Refractory Follicular Lymphoma: A Pan-European Cohort of 242 Patients

Abstract Background: Malignant lymphoid cells are characteristically dependent on signals mediated by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase delta isoform (PI3Kδ). Idelalisib is an oral, selective, PI3Kδ inhibitor approved by the FDA and EMA as monotherapy for the treatment of advanced follicular lymphoma (FL). The approval was based on a phase 2 trial in patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma including 72 patients with FL who were refractory to at least 2 prior regimens (NCT01282424; Study 101-09). Interim safety analysis of this large, pan-European, noninterventional study of refractory FL patients treated with idelalisib monotherapy (EUPAS19618; NCT03568929) showed that the adverse event (AE) profile in clinical practice corroborates the known safety profile of idelalisib reported from clinical trials. Herein, we report the effectiveness and updated safety analysis from this study. Methods: This was a non-interventional, retrospective, cohort study. Adult patients treated with idelalisib for FL in routine clinical practice in 10 European countries were included. Data were collected retrospectively from sites by study personnel from remotely source data-verified medical records using electronic case report forms. Safety and effectiveness data for each patient were collected from time of idelalisib initiation until 6 months post-discontinuation of idelalisib, start of next treatment, or death. For this analysis, the data cut-off date was 16 June 2021. Effectiveness of idelalisib was assessed by overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), time to next treatment (TTNT), and overall survival (OS). The overall safety profile of idelalisib was assessed by estimating the incidence of AEs, serious AEs, adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and serious ADRs. Focus was given to special health outcomes of interest (HOIs), including transaminase elevation, hepatocellular injury, severe diarrhea/colitis, pneumonitis, neutropenia, rash, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and serious infections. Multivariate Poisson regression analyses are used to estimate rates of ADRs, serious ADRs, and HOIs, and are adjusted for potential confounders. Time-to-event data were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods. Results: Overall, there were 257 eligible patients in the study from 85 sites. The Full Analysis Set (FAS) consisted of 242 patients excluding those with deviations (n=10) or those without any data contribution at the cut-off date (n=5). Of the 242 patients, 183 initiated idelalisib at least 12 months prior to data cut-off date and were included in the Effectiveness Analysis Set (EAS; n=49 patients did not have effectiveness data recorded, and 10 did not meet effectiveness inclusion criteria). For the 183 patients in the EAS, median age was 67 years and 54.6% (n=100) were male (Fig. 1A). Median number of prior therapies was 3 (range 1-10) and median time since diagnosis was 5.8 years (range: 0.4-32). At treatment initiation, 64% (n=117) had Ann Arbor stage III/IV disease. Median duration of idelalisib exposure was 6.8 months (IQR 3.0-15.6); 41.5% (n=76) had dose interruptions. Patients received doses of 150 mg only (67.8%), both 150 mg and 100 mg (28.4%), or 100 mg only (3.8%). Patients were observed for a median of 9.8 months (IQR 5.2-19.3). In the EAS, 103/183 patients achieved a response with 30 patients (16.4%) achieving a complete response (CR) and 73 (39.9%) achieving a partial response (PR), yielding a best ORR of 56.3% (95% CI: 48.8-63.6; Fig. 1B). Median DOR, PFS, and TTNT were 22.5 (95% CI: 15.1-27.9), 11.1 (95% CI: 8.1-18.1) and 15.4 months (95% CI: 9.9-22.2), respectively (Fig. 1B, C). Median OS had not been reached at the time of data cut-off (Fig. 1D). Updated safety information was available from the 242 patients in the FAS. The most frequent AEs recorded were infections, diarrhea and/or colitis, and transaminase elevation. The proportion of patients in the FAS experiencing Grade 3/4, severe, common, and HOI TEAEs are presented in Fig. 1E. Conclusions: We report to our knowledge the largest cohort of FL patients treated with idelalisib outside of the clinical trial setting. Our effectiveness findings are remarkably similar to those from the registrational study 101-09 (Gopal 2014 N Engl J Med). Safety profile of idelalisib was consistent with trial experience, and no new safety signals were identified. Idelalisib remains an effective treatment option for FL patients. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Abstract Background: Duvelisib is an oral, dual inhibitor of PI3K-d,γ, in development for the treatment of hematologic malignancies, including follicular lymphoma (FL). Duvelisib disrupts PI3K-d,γ-mediated signaling within tumor cells and their interactions with the tumor microenvironment, hindering hematologic tumor cell survival. Data from a Phase 1 study of duvelisib indicate the potential for duvelisib to be an effective treatment for FL, with an acceptable safety profile. CONTEMPO (NCT02391545), is designed to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of duvelisib in combination with rituximab (DR) or obinutuzumab (DO) in patients (pts) with previously-untreated CD20+ FL. Methods: In CONTEMPO, duvelisib is administered at 25 mg BID continuously in 28-day treatment cycles, combined either with rituximab (375 mg/m2 for 4 weekly doses, then 1 dose every 2 cycles) or obinutuzumab (1000 mg for 4 weekly doses, then 1 dose every 2 cycles). Pts are assigned 1:1 into the two parallel treatment arms. Key inclusion criteria include: diagnosis of previously-untreated CD20+ FL, Stage II with bulky disease (≥ 7 cm lesion), or Stage III-IV disease, at least 1 measurable disease lesion > 1.5 cm, adequate liver and renal function, and no clinical evidence of transformation to a more aggressive subtype of lymphoma or Grade 3B FL. Prophylaxis for herpes (HSV/VZV) is recommended. For pts with a history of CMV infection requiring treatment, prophylaxis and monitoring of reactivation is recommended. The original protocol mandated PJP prophylaxis when CD4 counts were ≤ 200 cells/mm3, and was subsequently amended to include all pts. Disease response assessments (CT scans and physical exams) occur on Day 1 of Cycle 4 (C4), C8, C12, C16, C20, and C26. Results: As of 19 July 2016 (data cut-off), 28 pts received DR and 27 received DO. For DR pts, the median age was 58 years, most were male (64%), 21% had Gr 1 and 64% Gr 2 disease at baseline, and 54% had bone marrow involvement. Median time from diagnosis was 2.3 months. For DO pts, the median age was 58 years, most were female (59%), 48% had Gr 1 and 30% Gr 2 disease at baseline, and 59% had bone marrow involvement. Median time from diagnosis was 2.6 months. DR pts were on treatment for a median of 3.9 months, DO pts for 4.5 months. The overall response rate (ORR) per IWG criteria for DR was 87% and for DO was 91% (see table) The rate of AEs for DR pts was 93%, with 50% having a ≥ Gr 3 AE. 64% of DR pts had an AE leading to duvelisib dose modification (reduction or hold), while 14% discontinued duvelisib due to an AE. The most common ≥ Gr 3 AEs on DR (> 2 pts) were ALT increased (21%) and rash (14%). The rate of ≥ Gr 3 infections was 11%, including PJP (n=2; no prophylaxis, pre-amendment), followed by lung infection and pneumococcal pneumonia (1 pt, each). One PJP case resolved and the pt continued on study. The second PJP case resolved, however the pt had a subsequent fatal event of acute respiratory distress, the only fatal AE on study. The rate of AEs for DO pts was 89%, with 70% of pts having a ≥ Gr 3 AE. 63% of DO pts had an AE leading to duvelisib dose modification (reduction or hold), while 7% discontinued duvelisib due to an AE. Most common ≥ Gr 3 AEs (> 2pts) on DO were neutropenia (19%), ALT increased (15%), and AST increased (11%). The rate of ≥ Gr 3 infections was 15%, including conjunctivitis, RSV pneumonia, pyelonephritis, and septic shock (1 pt, each). No pts on DO died due to an AE. Conclusions: Preliminary clinical activity with DR (87% ORR, 22% CR) and DO (91% ORR, 18% CR) supports the potential role of duvelisib in combination with an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody as initial treatment for pts with FL. The safety profile was manageable with appropriate risk mitigation measures, suggesting further investigation of these combinations may be warranted.

Dimensional Assessment

Introduction: Lugano 2014 criteria are the current standard for response assessment in lymphoma and incorporate 18F fludeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) into standard staging of FDG-avid lymphomas (Cheson, et al. J Clin Oncol 2014); bi-dimensional tumor measurements of up to six CT target lesions are used for non-FDG avid lymphomas, and when PET is unavailable. The Response Evaluation Criteria in Lymphoma (RECIL), developed more recently, showed that uni-dimensional measurements of up to three target lesions could provide response assessment at a similar accuracy to the Lugano criteria (Younes, et al. Annals Oncol 2017). In the Phase III GOYA trial (NCT01287741), complete response (CR) status by RECIL criteria showed high concordance with Lugano criteria and was highly prognostic for survival outcome in previously untreated patients (pts) with CD20-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with obinutuzumab (G) plus chemotherapy (G-chemo) or rituximab (R)-chemo. Here, we compared the prognostic and predictive performance of the Lugano and RECIL criteria in pts from the Phase III GALLIUM trial (NCT01332968). Methods: Pts were randomized 1:1 to receive G or R plus CHOP, CVP, or bendamustine (stratification factors: chemotherapy regimen, Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index and geographic region). FDG-PET scans were mandatory in the first 170 pts where a PET scanner was available, and optional thereafter, and were performed at screening and end of induction (EOI). Response was assessed by the investigator (INV) and an independent review committee (IRC) using Cheson 2007 criteria, the IRC also assessed EOI response using Lugano 2014 criteria. Response and progression-free survival (PFS) by RECIL 2017 criteria were retrospectively evaluated via a programming algorithm based on IRC-assessed 5PS scores and the individual lesion measurements from INV assessment. Response categories at EOI by RECIL criteria were cross-tabulated against those by Lugano criteria. Estimates of the treatment effect for PFS were expressed as hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using stratified log-rank tests. Landmark analyses of PFS and overall survival (OS) from EOI, by EOI CR/non-CR status were performed. The impact of covariates on the prognostic value for PFS and OS were analyzed using multivariable Cox models. Results: In GALLIUM, 1202 pts with follicular lymphoma (FL) were enrolled (601 per treatment arm), of which 595 had PET evaluable data (R-chemo, n=298; G-chemo, n=297). High concordance between Lugano and RECIL criteria for EOI CR was observed regardless of antibody received, with 416 pts classified as CR by RECIL among the 450 pts achieving complete metabolic response (CMR) by Lugano (416/450 [92.4%]; R-chemo, 199/216 [92.1%]; G-chemo, 217/234 [92.7%]) (Table). However, poor concordance was seen for progressive disease (PD), with 18/21 (85.7%) pts with progressive metabolic disease by Lugano classified as partial/minimal responders by RECIL. A strong correlation was observed between Cheson 2007 and RECIL PFS definitions, with a kappa estimate of 0.63 (95% CI: 0.58-0.69). EOI CR status by RECIL showed prognostic value by Cox multivariable regression analysis adjusted for stratification factors for PFS and OS; this prognostic value was similar with Lugano criteria (Figure). PFS rate by treatment arm for pts with a CR/CMR was higher by RECIL versus Lugano for both R-chemo and G-chemo (PFS rate at 3 years from EOI: RECIL: 86.0% and 89.7%; Lugano: 76.4% and 85.0%, respectively); similar results were seen with OS. G-chemo was associated with improved RECIL-PFS (from randomization) compared with R-chemo (HR, 0.72; 95% CI: 0.57-0.91; p=0.0069), similar to the GALLIUM 5-year updated analysis results by Cheson 2007 (HR, 0.76; 95% CI: 0.62-0.92; p=0.0043) (Townsend, et al. ASCO 2020). Conclusions: RECIL 2017 criteria showed high concordance with Lugano 2014 criteria with EOI CR strongly prognostic for improved outcomes versus non-CR; however, a discordance was observed for PD. A similar treatment difference between arms for PFS was detected with RECIL and Cheson 2007 criteria. RECIL criteria (uni-dimensional assessment of up to three target lesions) may be a suitable alternative to Lugano criteria (bi-dimensional assessment of up to six target lesions) in pts with previously untreated advanced-stage FL.

Abstract Background: CT-P10 is the first biosimilar to innovator rituximab (RTX) approved for all indications by the European Medicines Agency. The pharmacokinetics (PK) equivalence and non-inferior efficacy of CT-P10 compared with RTX in patients with newly diagnosed advanced follicular lymphoma (FL) was previously demonstrated when used with combination chemotherapy of cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisone (CVP) (Kim WS et al,. 2017). Objectives: This is an ongoing, phase 3, randomized, double blind, active controlled study to demonstrate similarity of efficacy and safety between CT-P10 and RTX as monotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed FL with low tumor burden (NCT02260804). The results of efficacy as determined by overall response rate (ORR), PK, pharmacodynamic, safety and immunogenicity up to 7 months (prior to Maintenance Cycle 3) are presented here. Methods: Patients with FL with stage II-IV, Grade 1-3a and low tumor burden as assessed by GELF criteria were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either CT-P10 or RTX (375mg/m2 i.v.) monotherapy weekly for 4 weeks as induction therapy, followed by maintenance therapy every 2 months for 2 years. Patients who had complete response (CR), unconfirmed CR, partial response or stable disease after the induction therapy were eligible for maintenance therapy. The primary endpoint was ORR over 7 months according to the IWG criteria and was assessed by the independent review committee as central review and by the site investigator as local review. Results: In total, 258 patients were randomized to either the CT-P10 (n=130) or RTX (n=128) group with well-balanced baseline characteristics. Overall, 231 patients (n=119/130 [92%] and n=112/128 [88%] in the CT-P10 and rituximab groups, respectively) completed up to 7 months. Therapeutic similarity between CT-P10 and RTX was established by meeting the predefined margin of ±17% for the primary efficacy endpoint of ORR in the intent-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) population (Figure 1). An ORR of 83.1% and 81.3% for CT-P10 and RTX, respectively, was observed over 7 months. The ORR difference was 1.8% and 90% confidence interval (CI) of the treatment difference estimate was entirely within the equivalence margin; 90% CI (-6.43, 10.20). Similar PK profiles were shown in the CT-P10 and RTX. Maximum and trough concentration of CT-P10 or RTX at each cycle were similar between the two groups. Median number of B-cells decreased to the lower limit of quantification (<20cells/μL) after the 1st infusion and remained as depleted over 7 months in both groups. CT-P10 was well tolerated and the safety profile of CT-P10 over 7 months was consistent with that of RTX, with no new, unexpected safety findings. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported in 71% and 67% patients in the CT-P10 and RTX, respectively. Adverse events of special interest included infections and infusion-related reactions occurred in a similar proportion of patients in each treatment group (Table 1). Neither progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy nor Hepatitis B virus reactivation was reported in either group. The proportion of patients with positive anti-drug antibody were similar between 2 groups (0.8% vs. 2.3%) over 7 months. Among them, neutralizing antibody were detected in one patient in the CT-P10 group. Conclusions: This study demonstrates therapeutic equivalence of CT-P10 to RTX in previously untreated LTBFL. CT-P10 was well-tolerated and the safety profile including immunogenicity of CT P10 was comparable to that of RTX over 7 months.

Background and objective. Idelalisib is an oral inhibitor of the p110δ isoform of PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) approved in Europe and USA as monotherapy in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) after 2 previous lines of therapy based on a phase 2 study (Gopal et al, N Eng J Med 2014). However, there are scarce data on the use of idelalisib in clinical practice (Eyre et al, Br J Haematol 2017). The objective of this study was to analyze the efficacy and toxicity of idelalisib in relapsed/refractory FL patients in clinical practice in Spanish hospitals of GELTAMO group (GELT-IDE-2018-02 Study). Patients and Methods. Retrospective study of relapsed/refractory FL patients treated with idelalisib as salvage therapy in clinical practice. Demographic and clinical and biological variables were analyzed at FL diagnosis and at the time of idelalisib therapy, as well as its efficacy and toxicity. Results. A total of 43 patients from 20 hospitals were included. At time of idelalisib therapy, median age was 63 years (range 44-83), number of previous lines of therapy was 3 (2-7), 42% (n=18) were refractory to last previous treatment and 42% (n=18) had received an autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT); 56% (n=24) had progressed in the first 24 months after FL diagnosis (POD24). Median duration of treatment with idelalisib at time of analysis was 8.1 months (1.1-37.4) and 28/43 patients (65%) discontinued therapy, 13 due to progression, 12 due to adverse events (AE) and 3 due to physician's decision. Overall response rate (ORR) was 73% (32% CR) and median PFS 14.6 months (95% CI 0-32.2), with a trend to be higher in non-POD24 group (median PFS of 9.4 months [95% CI 1.7-16.9] in POD24 vs. 27 months [95% CI NA] in non-PO24 patients, p=0.082); median duration of response to idelalisib was 25.1 months (95% CI 13.1-37.6). Median overall survival (OS) was not reached at the time of analysis, with a 2-year OS of 74% (95% CI 58%-90%) (Figure). In 4 patients, an allogeneic SCT was performed after idelalisib. A total of 86% (n=37) of patients showed any AE, being in 56% (n=24) of grade ≥3 AE. Toxicities of grade ≥3 more frequent were: neutropenia (23% of patients), diarrhea (23%), infections (23%: pneumonia in 4 patients, CMV infection in 2, febrile neutropenia in 1 and other infections in 3 [1 of them died due to Aspergillus infection]), and increased transaminases (9%). Conclusions. In this series of patients with relapsed/refractory FL, several previous lines of therapies and factors associated with poor prognosis, the treatment with idelalisib was associated with efficacy and toxicity similar to published studies. These results support the use of idelalisib as an option for FL patients with multiple or poor risk relapses. Financial support: Gilead Figure.

Introduction: Hemophilia A (HA) is a congenital bleeding disorder, caused by a deficiency in clotting factor VIII (FVIII) and characterized by uncontrolled bleeding and progressive joint damage. This analysis assesses the impact of disease burden on the daily life of children with hemophilia A (CwHA) and their caregivers, addressing a deficit of current research on this topic. Methods: The Cost of Haemophilia in Europe: a Socioeconomic Survey in a Paediatric Population (CHESS Paediatrics) is a retrospective, burden-of-illness study in children with moderate and severe HA (defined by endogenous FVIII [IU/dL] relative to normal; moderate, 1-5%; severe, <1%) across France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK. CwHA were recruited and stratified by both age group (0-5 years:6-11 years:12-17 years=1:1:1) and disease severity (severe:moderate=approximately 2:1, prioritizing children with severe HA [CwSHA]). Data for this analysis were captured from physicians, children, and their caregivers. Physicians completed online case report forms for treated children, and the child and/or their caregivers completed a paper-based questionnaire utilizing 5-point Likert scales. For CwHA aged 0-7, the questionnaire was completed by the caregiver, while for CwHA aged 8-17, children and caregivers completed different sections. Hours of care provided by the caregiver and work lost by the caregiver were reported as median values due to non-normal data distribution. Informed consent was obtained for all participants. Upon review, the study was approved by the University of Chester ethical committee. Results: Data from child/caregiver questionnaires were available for 196 CwHA (moderate, 25.5%; severe, 74.5%); the majority of these children, as expected, were receiving prophylaxis (72.4%), and did not have FVIII inhibitors (89.8%; Table 1). There was a direct impact of disease burden on CwHA, particularly with regard to physical and social activities (Figure 1). Overall, it was agreed or strongly agreed by the child or caregiver that 48.0% and 57.5% of children with moderate HA (CwMHA) and CwSHA respectively, have reduced physical activity due to HA, and 46.0% and 57.5%, respectively, have reduced social activity due to HA. A total of 36.0% and 61.0% of CwMHA and CwSHA, respectively, had adapted their treatment in anticipation of physical or social activity (Table 1). Furthermore, 34.0% of CwMHA and 55.4% of CwSHA were frustrated due to their disease, and many (CwMHA, 36.0%; CwSHA, 50.7%) felt that they had missed opportunities (Figure 1). For 66.0% of CwMHA and 76.0% of CwSHA, it was reported that their daily life was compromised due to their HA. Caregivers provided a median (interquartile range [IQR]) of 19.0 (10.0-59.5) and 12.0 (5.0-20.0) hours a week of care for the hemophilia-related needs of their CwMHA (n=30) or CwSHA (n=105), respectively. Of those who responded, 17.4% (n=4/23) and 25.0% (n=20/80) of caregivers to CwMHA or CwSHA, respectively, stated they have lost work due to their caregiving duty. This was more than twice as common for caregivers in families with multiple CwHA (42.9%, n=9/21 responses) compared with those in families with one CwHA (18.5%, n=15/81 responses). Median (IQR) hours of work per week estimated to be lost were 20.0 (17.0-22.0) for caregivers of CwMHA (n=4) and 12.5 (4.50-20.0) for caregivers of CwSHA (n=20). Conclusions: In conclusion, both children and caregivers make sacrifices in their daily lives due to HA; many CwHA reported reduced physical and social activities, fewer opportunities and feelings of frustration due to their HA. Caregivers reported spending a significant number of hours caring for their child and some reported losing work due to their caring responsibilities. However, some outcomes may be limited by the small number of respondents and narrow response options, particularly those regarding the caregiver burden. Responses on the hours of work lost may be subject to selection bias, as caregivers who have lost work may be more likely to respond to this question. Additionally, as this question is targeted at caregivers in employment, it is unknown if some caregivers have left employment due to their caregiving responsibilities. According to this analysis, children/caregivers are frequently required to adapt the child's treatment before the child engages in activities. Overall, the burden of disease was similar in children with moderate and severe HA.

Therapy Initiation

Background: Myelofibrosis (MF) is a chronic Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) characterized by extramedullary hematopoiesis, bone marrow fibrosis, splenomegaly, constitutional symptoms, and diminished quality of life. Treatment decisions may involve a variety of factors including prognosis and symptomatology. Data regarding real-world disease and demographic factors that contribute to therapy initiation and choice in pts with lower risk MF are limited. This analysis of data from the ongoing Myelofibrosis and Essential Thrombocythemia Observational STudy (MOST; NCT02953704) assessed whether these factors differ for lower risk pts who were treated vs untreated at enrollment. Methods: MOST is a longitudinal, noninterventional, prospective, observational study in pts with MF or essential thrombocythemia enrolled at clinical practices within the US. Pts included in the analysis (≥18 y), had low risk MF by the Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS; Blood. 2010;115:1703), or intermediate-1 (INT-1) risk by age >65 y alone. Pt data were entered into an electronic case report form during usual-care visits over a planned 36-month observation period. Pt-reported symptom burden was assessed using the MPN-Symptom Assessment Form (MPN-SAF); Total Symptom Score (TSS) was calculated (0 [absent] to 100 [worst imaginable]; J Clin Oncol. 2012;30:4098). Data were analyzed with basic descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Of 233 pts with MF enrolled at 124 sites between 11/29/2016 and 03/29/2019, 205 were included in this analysis; 28 were excluded for being INT-1 risk for reasons other than age. Of the 205 pts, 85 (41.5%) were low- and 120 (58.5%) were INT-1 risk; 56.5% (48/85) and 59.2% (71/120), respectively, were being treated at enrollment. Pt characteristics are listed in Table 1A. Fewer low- vs INT-1 risk pts were JAK2 V617F or MPL positive, and more were CALR positive. The proportion of pts with palpable splenomegaly was similar for treated low- and INT-1 risk pts. In low risk pts, the proportion of pts with palpable splenomegaly was higher in untreated vs treated pts; whereas, in INT-1 risk pts, the opposite was observed (ie, lower proportion in untreated vs treated pts). Blood counts were generally similar across cohorts, except median leukocytes were lower for low risk treated pts and platelet counts were elevated in low- vs INT-1 risk pts. The proportion of pts with comorbidities was similar across cohorts, except for fewer cardiovascular comorbidities in low- vs INT-1 risk pts. Mean TSS was lower in low- vs INT-1 risk pts, but the proportion of pts with TSS ≥20 was greater in treated vs untreated pts in both low- and INT-1 risk groups. Fatigue was the most severe pt-reported symptom in all cohorts. Differences in mean TSS and individual symptom scores between risk groups were not significant (P > 0.05), except itching was worse among INT-1 risk pts (P=0.03). Physician-reported signs and symptoms were generally more frequent for untreated vs treated pts, irrespective of risk (all P > 0.05). Most low risk (69.4%) and INT-1 risk pts (61.2%) who were currently untreated at enrollment had not received any prior MF-directed treatment (Table 1B); the most common prior treatment among currently untreated pts was hydroxyurea (HU) in both risk groups. Of currently treated pts, HU was the most common MF-directed monotherapy at enrollment in low-risk pts, and ruxolitinib was most common in INT-1 risk pts. No low risk pts and few INT-1 risk pts were currently receiving >1 MF-directed therapy at enrollment. Conclusion: These real-world data from pts with MF enrolled in MOST show that a substantial proportion of both low- and INT-1 risk pts who had received treatment before enrollment were not being treated at the time of enrollment. Although watch-and-wait is a therapeutic option, the finding that many of these lower risk pts had in fact received prior therapies suggests an unmet need for effective and tolerable second-line treatment options. Treated pts had greater pt-reported symptom burden vs untreated pts, which suggests that high symptom burden may contribute to the decision for treatment. Prospective studies are needed to evaluate symptom burden change with therapy initiation. In this regard, future analyses of data from MOST are planned to assess the longitudinal evolution of the clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and management of pts with MF.

To assess the efficacy of radioimmunotherapy (RIT) with 90yttrium-ibrutinib-tiuxetan (90Y-IT) in mantle cell lymphoma, data from 90 patients registered in the RIT Network with a median follow-up (FU) of 5.5 years after RIT were evaluated. 90Y-IT was given as first-line therapy in 45 (50%) (consolidation 44 pts., primary therapy 1 pt.) and at relapse in 45 (50%) patients (consolidation 24 pts., recurrence 12 pts., therapy refractory 3 pts., conditioning 2 pts., other 4 pts.). As a first-line treatment, 30 patients (pts.) (67%) achieved CR, 10 pts. (22%) PR%., 1 pt. (2%) PD, and for 4 pts. (9%) no response data was available. At relapse, CR was achieved in 17 pts. (38%), PR in 6 pts. (13%), SD in 2 pts. (4%), and 6 pts. (13%) had PD, while the response was not documented for 14 pts. (31%). After a median FU of 5.5 years, median PFS for all patients was 2.11 (95%CI: 1.03-2.32) years, and median OS was 4.05 (95%CI 2.79-7.21) years. Eleven pts. (12.2%) developed second malignancy. In conclusion, this is the largest report of MCL pts. treated with 90Y-IT to date. 90Y-IT was most often used as consolidation after first- and second-line chemotherapy and may improve the results achieved using chemoimmunotherapy alone. However, the results are less encouraging compared to treatment with small molecules such as ibrutinib.

Introduction: Tenalisib (RP6530) is a novel, highly specific, dual PI3K δ/γ inhibitor with nano-molar inhibitory potency at the enzyme and cellular level. PI3K plays a critical role in T-cell development and activation and several studies have validated the PI3K-AKT pathway as a potential therapeutic target in T cell lymphomas. Preliminary results of the ongoing Phase 1/1b T-cell lymphoma (TCL) study demonstrated an acceptable safety profile with encouraging clinical activity in relapsed/refractory TCL (Oki, ASCO 2018 and Iyer, ASH 2018). We now present the final results of the study (NCT02567656). Methods: This study comprised of four-dose escalation cohorts, followed by two dose expansion cohorts at MTD enrolling 20 patients each in PTCL and CTCL cohorts. Patients had histologically confirmed TCL, ECOG PS ≤2, and had received ≥1 prior therapy. Patients received Tenalisib [200 mg BID-800 mg BID (fasting), 800 mg (fed only)] orally until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary objectives were to determine the MTD and pharmacokinetic profile. The secondary objective was to evaluate overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response. Responses were evaluated for PTCL and CTCL based on IWG criteria (Cheson 2007) and mSWAT respectively. Adverse events were graded according to CTCAE v4.03. Results: Fifty-eight patients were enrolled in study, 19 in dose escalation and 39 in dose expansion (28 PTCL and 30 CTCL). Median number of prior therapies was 4 (range, 1-15). Safety assessment of 58 patients receiving at least one dose of Tenalisib demonstrated an acceptable safety profile. Treatment related Grade≥3 AEs were elevated ALT/AST (21%), rash (5%), and hypophosphatemia (3%). These events were reversible and managed by withholding study drug. Additionally, in few patients (N=9), steroids were used to manage elevated ALT/AST. There were six treatment related serious adverse events, none of these led to fatal outcome. At end of the study, four (3 CTCL; 1 PTCL) patients who completed minimum 8 cycles of therapy were rolled over to a compassionate use study (NCT03711604) and were followed up. Efficacy assessments demonstrated an ORR of 46% (3 CR and 13 PR) and clinical benefit rate (CR+PR+SD) of 77%. Subset efficacy analysis showed an ORR in PTCL of 47% (3 CR; 4 PR) and in CTCL of 45% (9 PR). The median time to initial response was 1.8 months and was similar in both sub-types. The overall median DOR was 4.91 months (range 0.9-26.6); in PTCL patients the DOR was 6.53 months, (range: 0.97-21.0) and 3.8 months (range: 1.67-25.67) in CTCL patients. In 3 PTCL patients who achieved CR, the median DOR was 19.5 months (range 7.5-21). Conclusion: Tenalisib demonstrated promising clinical activity and an improved safety profile in patients with relapsed/ refractory TCL. Currently, a phase I/II combination study to further evaluate safety and efficacy with romidepsin is ongoing in this target population.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas (iNHL), including follicular lymphoma (FL), have high response to first-line treatment. However, retreatment is often required when relapses occur, and those with multiple relapses represent a patient population with an unmet need for effective treatment. Clinical data for several treatment options exist for the general relapsed and refractory (R/R) population; however, there are relatively fewer data specific to FL patients with ≥2 lines of prior treatment. This work systematically identified the available efficacy data in the double R/R FL population. Methods: The MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched through February 10, 2020. Studies were limited to interventional clinical trials of R/R FL patients (or mixed histologies with a predominance of FL) and articles published in English. Studies also must have reported one or more efficacy measures, such as overall response rate (ORR), complete response (CR), duration of response (DoR), time to next treatment (TTNT), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Potential interventions of interest were lenalidomide ± rituximab (R), duvelisib, ibrutinib, venetoclax, polatuzumab vedotin + R, obinutuzumab, copanlisib, umbralisib, idelalisib, and tazemetostat. Results: Of 35 publications examining treatment outcomes in R/R FL patients, only 14 (representing 5 unique clinical trials) were specific to the ≥ 2-line population. These trials were: CHRONOS Part B (copanlisib), DAWN (ibrutinib), DELTA (idelalisib), DYNAMO (duvelisib), and Morschhauser et al. 2019 (tazemetostat) and included a total of 605 participants. All studies used similar inclusion criteria, and patients included were similar in age (median 62-65), disease stage (III/IV), and ECOG score (0-2). Patients in the CHRONOS study had a median number of prior treatments of 2, whereas those in the DELTA study had 5. ORR ranged from 21% (ibrutinib) to 59% (copanlisib) (Table). The DoR ranged from 8.3 months in tazemetostat patients with EZH2 gene mutation to 19.4 months for ibrutinib. PFS ranged from 5.7 months in tazemetostat patients with wild-type EZH2 to 11.2 months for copanlisib. Median TTNT was only reported in the DAWN study (16 months). Conclusions: Very few clinical data exist reporting efficacy outcomes specific to the double R/R FL population. The limited data indicate that current treatments do not produce durable responses for most double R/R FL patients, demonstrating an unmet need. Further research is needed to fully understand the efficacy and safety of other potential interventions for this population.

Abstract Abstract 1514 Poster Board I-537 Background and aims Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive iron overload through increased intestinal absorption. Phlebotomy treatment is the standard of care, but compliance is variable and some patients are poor candidates due to underlying medical disorders and/or poor venous access. An oral iron chelator such as deferasirox (Exjade®) may provide an alternative treatment option for HH patients. Methods This is an inter-patient dose-escalation study of deferasirox (5, 10, 15 and 20 mg/kg) administered daily for 24 weeks to C282Y HFE homozygous HH patients with a pre-treatment serum ferritin (SF) value of 300–2000 ng/mL, transferrin saturation ≥45% and no known history of cirrhosis. A 6-month extension of this trial has recently been completed. The primary endpoint is the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs). Secondary endpoints include change in SF, time to SF normalization (<100 ng/mL), longitudinal course of SF, and pharmacokinetics of deferasirox. Results 49 patients were enrolled and 48 patients were treated (33 men, 16 women; mean age 50.6 years; mean of 3.1 years since HH diagnosis) with deferasirox 5 (n=11), 10 (n=15) or 15 mg/kg/day (n=23) for at least 24 weeks. 37 (75.5%) patients completed the study (10 [90.9%], 11 [73.3%]; 16 [69.6%] patients in the 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg/day groups, respectively. The most common reasons for discontinuation were AEs in 3 (20.0%) patients and 4 (17.4%) patients in the 10 and 15 mg/kg/day groups, respectively. Bayesian analysis and medical review were performed between dose escalations. Meaningful reductions in SF were observed across the first three dose groups (median decrease -31.1%, -52.8% and -55.4% in the 3 groups respectively), and escalation to 20 mg/kg/day was not undertaken. Time course of the SF decline was dose-dependent (Figure). AEs in the core were dose dependent and consistent with the known safety profile of deferasirox. The most common drug-related AEs (≥10% in all patients) reported were diarrhea in 1 (9%), 4 (27%) and 9 (39%) patients, nausea in 0 (0%), 2 (13%) and 4 (17%) patients and abdominal pain in 0 (0%), 2 (13%), 3 (13%) patients in the 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg/day groups, respectively. One patient had ALT >5X upper limit of normal, and 11 patients had serum creatinine ≥33% over baseline and upper limit of normal on two consecutive occasions. All resolved with dose cessation or modification. Conclusions The results from the CORE trial suggest that deferasirox doses of 5, 10 and 15 mg/kg/day are effective at reducing iron burden in HH patients. Based on the safety profile, only the 5 and 10 mg/kg/day doses are being considered for further study in this population. The results of the 24 week extension phase will be available at the time of the meeting. Larger studies are required to define the appropriate treatment regimen in HH.
