Phase 2 study of the safety and efficacy of INCB050465 in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (CITADEL-202).
TPS7579 Background: Aberrant activation of PI3Kδ is implicated in B-cell malignancies. INCB050465, a highly selective PI3Kδ inhibitor, is demonstrating preliminary efficacy in an ongoing phase 1/2 dose-escalation and expansion study as monotherapy for r/r DLBCL as well as for other r/r B-cell malignancies (ASH 2016; Abstract 4195). This phase 2 study will further evaluate the efficacy and safety of single-agent INCB050465 in pts with r/r DLBCL. Methods: In this phase 2, multicenter, open-label study (NCT02998476), eligible adults will have r/r DLBCL diagnosis, defined as receiving 1–5 prior treatments and be ineligible for high-dose chemotherapy or autologous stem-cell transplant (SCT). Pts will also have ≥1 measurable lesion (nodal ≥2 cm or extranodal > 1 cm in longest dimension); Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤2; adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function; no mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma or CNS metastases; no allogeneic SCT ≤6 months, or graft-versus-host-disease after allogeneic SCT, or autologous SCT ≤3 months, before first dose; and no prior treatment with PI3K inhibitors. Pts will be enrolled into 2 groups according to prior treatment with a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor (Group A [n = 100, no BTK inhibitor] or B [n≤20, received BTK inhibitor]). Both groups will receive INCB050465 20 mg orally QD for 8 wks; then 20 mg QW until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. The primary endpoint is the objective response rate in Group A (complete/partial response per independent review committee based on Lugano criteria). Secondary endpoints will include duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety in Group A (these endpoints will be exploratory in Group B). Other exploratory assessments will include pharmacokinetics and association between genetic characteristics and treatment response in both groups. In a planned interim futility analysis of Group A, the study will be terminated if ≤13 of the first 40 treated pts respond (no futility analysis of Group B will be conducted). The study is currently recruiting (estimated completion date, March 2020). Clinical trial information: NCT02998476.
