PURPOSE Mosunetuzumab is a bispecific antibody targeting CD20 and CD3 that redirects T cells to engage and eliminate malignant B cells and is being developed for relapsed or refractory (R/R) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHLs). METHODS This first-in-human trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02500407 ) evaluated the safety and tolerability and efficacy of mosunetuzumab in patients with R/R B-NHL and established the recommended phase II dose. Data from dose escalation are presented. Single-agent mosunetuzumab was administered intravenously in 3-week cycles, at full dose in cycle 1 day 1 (group A) or with ascending (step-up) doses during cycle 1 on days 1, 8, and 15 (group B), for eight or 17 cycles on the basis of tumor response. RESULTS Two hundred thirty patients were enrolled. Doses up to 2.8 mg and 60 mg were assessed in groups A and B, respectively; maximum tolerated dose was not exceeded. In group B (n = 197), common adverse events (≥ 20% of patients) were neutropenia (28.4%), cytokine release syndrome (27.4%), hypophosphatemia (23.4%), fatigue (22.8%), and diarrhea (21.8%). Cytokine release syndrome was mostly low-grade (grade ≥ 3: 1.0%) and mainly confined to cycle 1. Across the doses investigated (group B), best overall response rates were 34.9% and 66.2% in patients with aggressive and indolent B-NHL, respectively, and complete response rates were 19.4% and 48.5%. Among patients with a complete response, the median duration of response was 22.8 months (95% CI, 7.6 to not estimable) and 20.4 (95% CI, 16 to not estimable) in patients with aggressive and indolent B-NHL, respectively. CONCLUSION Mosunetuzumab, administered with step-up dosing, has a manageable safety profile and induces durable complete responses in R/R B-NHL. The expansion stage of the study is ongoing at the dose level of 1/2/60/60/30 mg selected for further study.

Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Eleven patients with relapsed fludarabine-resistant B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or leukemic variants of low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) were treated with the chimeric monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody rituximab (IDEC-C2B8). Peripheral lymphocyte counts at baseline varied from 0.2 to 294.3 × 109/L. During the first rituximab infusion, patients with lymphocyte counts exceeding 50.0 × 109/L experienced a severe cytokine-release syndrome. Ninety minutes after onset of the infusion, serum levels of tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) peaked in all patients. Elevated cytokine levels during treatment were associated with clinical symptoms, including fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, hypotension, and dyspnea. Lymphocyte and platelet counts dropped to 50% to 75% of baseline values within 12 hours after the onset of the infusion. Simultaneously, there was a 5-fold to 10-fold increase of liver enzymes, d-dimers, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), as well as a prolongation of the prothrombin time. Frequency and severity of first-dose adverse events were dependent on the number of circulating tumor cells at baseline: patients with lymphocyte counts greater than 50.0 × 109/L experienced significantly more adverse events of National Cancer Institute (NCI) grade III/IV toxicity than patients with less than 50.0 × 109/L peripheral tumor cells (P= .0017). Due to massive side effects in the first patient treated with 375 mg/m2 in 1 day, a fractionated dosing schedule was used in all subsequent patients with application of 50 mg rituximab on day 1, 150 mg on day 2, and the rest of the 375 mg/m2 dose on day 3. While the patient with the leukemic variant of the mantle-cell NHL achieved a complete remission (9 months+) after treatment with 4 × 375 mg/m2 rituximab, efficacy in patients with relapsed fludarabine-resistant B-CLL was poor: 1 partial remission, 7 cases of stable disease, and 1 progressive disease were observed in 9 evaluable patients with CLL. On the basis of these data, different infusion schedules and/or combination regimens with chemotherapeutic drugs to reduce tumor burden before treatment with rituximab will have to be evaluated.

8519 Background: The MET receptor tyrosine kinase is implicated in tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, and is activated in NRAS mutant melanoma. Tivantinib is an oral, selective MET inhibitor currently in phase II/III clinical trials. Tivantinib plus sorafenib exhibited synergistic antitumor activity vs single-agent activity in several tumor models. This phase I dose-escalation study assessed the safety of tivantinib plus sorafenib in pts with advanced solid tumors. Methods: Endpoints were safety, the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of tivantinib plus sorafenib, and antitumor activity. Dose escalation previously established the RP2D as tivantinib 360 mg twice daily (BID) plus sorafenib 400 mg BID. Extension cohorts enrolled ≤ 20 pts each with melanoma or other tumors. Pts were treated until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: 16 pts with melanoma (median age, 66 yr) received treatment at the RP2D, and 3 pts are still on study. 12 pts received ≥ 1 previous systemic anticancer treatment (median, 1.2; range, 0-5) including ipilimumab (2 pts) or MEK inhibitor (1 pt). Common adverse events (≥ 25%) were rash (50%), diarrhea and fatigue (44% each), anorexia (38%), stomatitis and nausea (31% each), and anemia, weight decrease, and hypophosphatemia (25% each). Best responses were complete response (CR) in 1 pt, partial response (PR) in 3 pts, and stable disease (SD) in 3 pts. 4 pts had progressive disease and 5 pts were not evaluable (3 pts had not reached first assessment time, 1 pt withdrew consent, and 1 pt had unacceptable toxicity). The overall response rate and disease control rate were 25% and 44%, respectively. Median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 5.3 mo (95% CI, 1.6-12.9 mo). Among 8 pts with NRAS mutations, mPFS was 9.2 mo (95% CI, 5.3-12.9 mo) and responses were 1 CR, 1 PR, and 2 SD. Conclusions: Tivantinib plus sorafenib combination therapy was well tolerated and exhibited preliminary anticancer activity in pts with melanoma. Dual inhibition of MET and angiogenesis may be an effective treatment strategy in NRAS-mutant melanoma.

Purpose Inotuzumab ozogamicin (INO) is an antibody-targeted chemotherapy agent composed of a humanized anti-CD22 antibody conjugated to calicheamicin, a potent cytotoxic agent. We performed a phase I/II study to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of INO plus rituximab (R-INO) for treatment of relapsed/refractory CD20+/CD22+ B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Patients and Methods A dose-escalation phase to determine the MTD of R-INO was followed by an expanded cohort to further evaluate the efficacy and safety at the MTD. Patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma (FL), relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), or refractory aggressive NHL received R-INO every 4 weeks for up to eight cycles. Results In all, 118 patients received one or more cycles of R-INO (median, four cycles). Most common grade 3 to 4 adverse events were thrombocytopenia (31%) and neutropenia (22%). Common low-grade toxicities included hyperbilirubinemia (25%) and increased AST (36%). The MTD of INO in combination with rituximab (375 mg/m2) was confirmed to be the same as that for single-agent INO (1.8 mg/m2). Treatment at the MTD yielded objective response rates of 87%, 74%, and 20% for relapsed FL (n = 39), relapsed DLBCL (n = 42), and refractory aggressive NHL (n = 30), respectively. The 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 68% (median, not reached) for FL and 42% (median, 17.1 months) for relapsed DLBCL. Conclusion R-INO demonstrated high response rates and long PFS in patients with relapsed FL or DLBCL. This and the manageable toxicity profile suggest that R-INO may be a promising option for CD20+/CD22+ B-cell NHL.

7519 Background: Glofitamab (RG6026), a T-cell-engaging, bispecific, full-length antibody, allows bivalent binding to CD20 (B-cells), and monovalent binding to CD3 (T-cells). In NP30179 (NCT03075696), an ongoing multicenter, Phase I dose-escalation and expansion study, 0.6–25mg glofitamab fixed-dosing with obinutuzumab pretreatment (Gpt), showed high, durable complete responses and manageable safety in heavily pretreated R/R NHL (Dickinson, et al. EHA 2020). Glofitamab SUD, in addition to Gpt, allowed dose escalation up to 30mg to maximize efficacy, while mitigating cytokine release syndrome (CRS) (Hutchings, et al. JCO 2021). We present updated efficacy data from glofitamab monotherapy SUD cohorts. Methods: Gpt (1000mg) was given to pts 7 days pre-glofitamab initial dose. Intravenous SUD of glofitamab was given on Day (D) 1 and 8 of Cycle (C) 1 and then at the target dose from C2D1 (2.5/10/16mg or 2.5/10/30mg); treatment continued for up to 12 cycles, every 21 days. Response rates were based on the Lugano criteria (Cheson, et al. JCO 2014). Results: Fifty-two pts received glofitamab SUD; 17 and 35 pts received 2.5/10/16mg and 2.5/10/30mg, respectively. Twenty-eight pts (53.8%) had aggressive NHL (aNHL) and 24 pts had indolent NHL (iNHL). Pts had a median age of 68 (44–85) years and received a median of 3 (1–12) prior lines of therapy. Forty (76.9%) and 38 (73.1%) pts were refractory to their most recent and any prior CD20 therapy, respectively. After a median follow-up of 6.3 months, an updated efficacy analysis was conducted on December 1, 2020. For pts with aNHL (N = 28), the best overall response (OR) and complete metabolic response (CMR) rates were 64.3% and 57.1%, respectively; a trend of improved response was observed with increased target dose, with a CMR rate of 71.4% at 2.5/10/30mg (N = 14). Notably, 4/5 pts (80%) with mantle cell lymphoma (2.5/10/16mg, n = 2; 2.5/10/30mg, n = 2) had CMR. For aNHL, 13/16 CMRs are ongoing, with 8 CMRs lasting > 3 months. For pts with iNHL (N = 24), OR and CMR rates were 79.2% and 70.8%, respectively; 14/17 CMRs are ongoing, with 10 CMRs lasting > 3 months. As of August 3, 2020, common adverse events (52 pts) were CRS (63.5%), neutropenia (38.5%), and pyrexia (32.7%). CRS was mostly confined to C1: 24/50 pts had CRS after 2.5mg; 20/49 pts after 10mg; 2/16 and 8/32 pts had CRS after 16 and 30mg (C2D1), respectively. Grade [Gr] 1 and 2 CRS was reported in 18 (34.6%) and 12 (23%) pts, respectively; 3 pts had Gr 3 CRS; none had Gr 4/5 events (ASTCT 2019). Updated data, including biomarker data on baseline CD20 expression and CD8 levels in the tumor, will be presented. Conclusions: Updated data for glofitamab monotherapy SUD show higher preliminary response rates than previously reported in pts with R/R NHL who have failed multiple lines of therapy. CRS was mostly manageable, of low grade, and confined to the first cycle of treatment. Clinical trial information: NCT03075696.

Abstract Twenty-six patients, whose B-cell lymphoma had relapsed after conventional therapies, were treated in a phase I dose escalation study with an immunotoxin consisting of a mouse CD22 monoclonal antibody (RFB4:IgG1K) coupled to chemically deglycosylated ricin A chain (dgA). Two to 12 doses of the immunotoxin were infused intravenously at 48- hour intervals. The peak serum concentration and half-life (T1/2) did not correlate directly with the dose and averaged 3.8 micrograms/mL and 7.8 hours, respectively. The main dose-limiting toxicity was caused by the vascular leak syndrome (VLS) consisting of weight gain, edema, serum albumin decrease, and critically by pulmonary edema. Myalgia occurred frequently and was only dose limiting in one patient who developed rhabdomyolysis. The presence of lymphoma cells in the blood (> or = 10(10)/L) and clinically detectable splenomegaly were associated with reduced toxicity and a shorter T1/2. Nine of 24 evaluable patients (37.5%) made antibody to either mouse Ig or dgA. There were five partial responses (PR) and one complete response (CR) lasting 30 to 78 days. High peak concentrations of immunotoxin in the serum, a long T1/2, and large areas under the curve (AUC) correlated with both clinical response and toxicity. None of three patients with CD5+ lymphomas (including two CLL patients) had more than mild toxicity or responded to the immunotoxin.
