Project description:Epcoritamab is a subcutaneously administered CD3xCD20 bispecific Ab that showed deep, durable responses with a manageable safety profile in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the global multicenter pivotal phase II trial EPCORE NHL-1. Here, we present results from the similar EPCORE NHL-3 phase I/II trial evaluating epcoritamab monotherapy in Japanese patients with R/R CD20+ B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma previously treated with two or more lines of therapy. Epcoritamab was dosed subcutaneously in 28-day cycles; once weekly during cycles 1-3, every 2 weeks during cycles 4-9, and every 4 weeks from cycle 10 until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Step-up dosing and cytokine release syndrome (CRS) prophylaxis were used during treatment cycle 1. As of January 31, 2022, 36 patients received treatment with 48 mg epcoritamab monotherapy. At a median follow-up of 8.4 months, overall response and complete response rates by independent review committee were 55.6% and 44.4%, respectively. The median duration of response, duration of complete response, and overall survival were not reached at the time of data cut-off. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events of any grade were CRS (83.3%), injection-site reactions (69.4%), infections (44.4%), neutropenia (38.9%), hypokalemia (27.8%), and decreased lymphocyte count (25.0%). Cytokine release syndrome occurrence was predictable; events were primarily low grade (grade 1-2), all resolved, and none led to treatment discontinuation. These encouraging results are consistent with previous findings and support the ongoing clinical evaluation of epcoritamab for the treatment of R/R DLBCL, including in earlier treatment lines.

Project description:In the phase 3 ENDEAVOR study, carfilzomib-dexamethasone (Kd) improved survival over bortezomib-dexamethasone (Vd) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), regardless of baseline renal function. This real-world study compared renal response in patients with RRMM (1-3 prior lines) and renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤50 mL/min) treated with Kd vs Vd. Electronic medical records data from the Oncology Services Comprehensive Electronic Records database were assessed (from January 2012 through February 2018). Time to renal response (defined according to International Myeloma Working Group criteria) was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for renal overall response (ROR) and renal complete response (RCR) using Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for baseline covariates. Included were 543 Kd-treated and 1005 Vd-treated patients. In line 2 (2L), compared with Vd, Kd achieved significantly higher ROR (51.4% vs 39.6%; P < .0001) and RCR (26.6% vs 22.2%; P = .0229). After baseline covariate adjustment, 2L patients receiving Kd vs Vd were 45% more likely to achieve ROR (IRR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.18-1.78), and 68% were more likely to achieve RCR (IRR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.24-2.28). The renal response benefit with Kd remained consistent in 2L to line 4 (4L). In a combined analysis of patients receiving Kd and Vd (2L and 2L-4L), renal responders had longer overall survival and time to next treatment than renal nonresponders. These results demonstrate improved real-world effectiveness of Kd over Vd in RRMM renal rescue, and the positive association between renal response and improved survival.

Project description:Tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) is a second-generation autologous CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy approved for relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). The approval was based on the results of phase II JULIET trial, with a best overall response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) rate in infused patients of 52% and 40%, respectively. We report outcomes with tisa-cel in the standard-of-care (SOC) setting for R/R LBCL. Data from all patients with R/R LBCL who underwent leukapheresis from December 2018 until June 2020 with the intent to receive SOC tisa-cel were retrospectively collected at 10 Spanish institutions. Toxicities were graded according to ASTCT criteria and responses were assessed as per Lugano 2014 classification. Of 91 patients who underwent leukapheresis, 75 (82%) received tisa-cel therapy. Grade 3 or higher cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity occurred in 5% and 1%, respectively; non-relapse mortality was 4%. Among the infused patients, best ORR and CR were 60% and 32%, respectively, with a median duration of response of 8.9 months. With a median follow-up of 14.1 months from CAR T-cell infusion, median progression-free survival and overall survival were 3 months and 10.7 months, respectively. At 12 months, patients in CR at first disease evaluation had a PFS of 87% and OS of 93%. Patients with an elevated lactate dehydrogenase showed a shorter PFS and OS on multivariate analysis. Treatment with tisa-cel for patients with relapsed/refractory LBCL in a European SOC setting showed a manageable safety profile and durable complete responses.

Project description:BackgroundOutcomes in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who are ineligible for and/or fail high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation in the second line are poor. There is no preferred palliative-intent treatment for patients in this setting.Patients and methodsA retrospective cohort study was performed using the nationwide de-identified electronic health record-derived Flatiron Health database. Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) was evaluated for patients with R/R DLBCL who were ineligible for and/or failed autologous stem cell transplantation in the second line and received bendamustine, gemcitabine, or lenalidomide.ResultsThree hundred eighty-three patients were included. Therapy received was bendamustine in 158 patients, gemcitabine in 142 patients, and lenalidomide in 83 patients. The median EFS and OS for all patients was 4.1 months and 8.7 months, respectively. Compared with patients receiving bendamustine or gemcitabine, those receiving lenalidomide demonstrated significantly longer median EFS (6.8 vs. 3.8 months; P = .006) and median OS (15.4 vs. 7.7 months; P = .045). Survival outcomes were also improved for lenalidomide-treated patients specifically in the second- as well as third- or fourth-line settings.ConclusionUse of lenalidomide resulted in prolonged EFS and OS as compared with bendamustine or gemcitabine in this cohort of patients with R/R DLBCL receiving palliative therapy. This first large-scale analysis of real-world outcomes for this patient population may guide current clinical management as well as serve as a benchmark for survival outcomes in the standard-of-care setting, which may aid in the design of future clinical trials.

Project description:Primary results (median follow-up, 10.7 months) from the pivotal EPCORE® NHL-1 study in relapsed or refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) demonstrated deep, durable responses with epcoritamab, a CD3xCD20 bispecific antibody, when used as monotherapy. We report long-term efficacy and safety results in patients with LBCL (N = 157; 25.1-month median follow-up). As of April 21, 2023, overall response rate was 63.1% and complete response (CR) rate was 40.1%. Estimated 24-month progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 27.8% and 44.6%, respectively. An estimated 64.2% of complete responders remained in CR at 24 months. Estimated 24-month PFS and OS rates among complete responders were 65.1% and 78.2%, respectively. Of 119 minimal residual disease (MRD)-evaluable patients, 45.4% had MRD negativity, which correlated with longer PFS and OS. CR rates were generally consistent across predefined subgroups: 36% prior chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, 32% primary refractory disease, and 37% International Prognostic Index ≥3. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were cytokine release syndrome (51.0%), pyrexia (24.8%), fatigue (24.2%), and neutropenia (23.6%). These results underscore the long-term benefit of epcoritamab for treating R/R LBCL with deep responses across subgroups, including patients with hard-to-treat disease and expected poor prognosis (ClinicalTrials.gov Registration: NCT03625037).

Project description:IntroductionDespite new therapies for relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), treatments with chemotherapy, single-agent rituximab/obinutuzumab, single-agent lenalidomide, or combinations of these agents continue to be commonly used.MethodsThis retrospective study utilized longitudinal data from 4226 real-world electronic health records to characterize outcomes in patients with R/R DLBCL. Eligible patients were diagnosed with DLBCL between January 2010 and March 2022 and had R/R disease treated with ≥ 1 prior systemic line of therapy (LOT), including ≥ 1 anti-CD20-containing regimen.ResultsA total of 573 patients treated with ≥ 1 prior LOT were included (31.2% and 13.4% with ≥ 2 and ≥ 3 prior LOTs, respectively). Median duration of follow-up was 7.7 months. Most patients (57.1%) were male; mean standard deviation (SD) age was 63 (14.7) years. Overall and complete response rates (95% confidence interval (CI) were 52% (48-56) and 23% (19-27). Median duration of response and duration of complete response were 3.5 and 18.4 months. Median progression-free and overall survival (95% CI) was 3.0 (2.8-3.3) and 12.9 (10.1-16.9) months, respectively. Patients with a higher number of prior LOTs, primary refractoriness, refractoriness to last LOT, refractoriness to last anti-CD20-containing regimen, and prior CAR T exposure had worse outcomes (i.e., challenging-to-treat R/R DLBCL) compared with those without these characteristics.ConclusionsOutcomes in patients with R/R DLBCL treated with chemotherapy, single-agent rituximab/obinutuzumab, single-agent lenalidomide, or combinations of these agents remain poor, especially for those with challenging-to-treat R/R DLBCL. These findings underscore the unmet need for new, safe, and effective therapies, especially for challenging-to-treat R/R DLBCL populations.

Project description:Many therapies are available for the treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after ≥ 2 lines of therapy, albeit with scant evidence on the comparative effectiveness of these therapies. This study used inverse probability of treatment weighting to indirectly compare treatment outcomes of epcoritamab from the EPCORE NHL-1 trial with individual patient data from clinical practice cohorts treated with chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) and novel therapies (polatuzumab-based regimens, tafasitamab-based regimens, and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell [CAR T] therapies) for third-line or later R/R large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) and DLBCL. In this analysis, epcoritamab demonstrated significantly better response rates and overall survival rates than CIT, polatuzumab-based regimens, and tafasitamab-based regimens. No statistically significant differences in response rates or survival were found for epcoritamab compared with CAR T in R/R LBCL.

Project description:Aim: To understand the economic burden of relapsed and refractory large B-cell lymphoma patients in Japan treated with salvage chemotherapy. Patients & methods: Patients who received systemic therapy after first-line treatment were analyzed to assess its associated cost and resource use using a retrospective claims database. The impact of COVID-19 was assessed separately. Results & conclusion: This study identified 2927 and 1085 patients in the second- (2L) and third-line (3L) cohorts. The median ages for the 2L and 3L cohorts were 71 and 70 years, respectively, with Charlson Comorbidity Score of 3. A majority of the patients had limited stem cell transplant due to advanced age. Median lengths of inpatient stay for the 2L and 3L cohorts were 118 and 116 days, respectively. The majority of costs were attributed to inpatient costs, and limited COVID-19 impact was observed in this study.

Project description:Aim: To contextualize the effectiveness of tisagenlecleucel versus real-world standard of care (SoC) in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma. Materials & methods: A retrospective indirect matched comparison study using data from the phase II ELARA trial and the US Flatiron Health Research Database. Results: Complete response rate was 69.1 versus 17.7% and the overall response rate was 85.6 versus 58.1% in tisagenlecleucel versus SoC, post weighting by odds. For overall survival, an estimated reduction in the risk of death was observed in favor of tisagenlecleucel over SoC. The hazard ratio for progression-free survival was 0.45 (95% CI: 0.26, 0.88), and for time-to-next treatment was 0.34 (95% CI: 0.15, 0.78) with tisagenlecleucel versus SoC. Conclusion: A consistent trend toward improved efficacy end points was observed in favor of tisagenlecleucel versus SoC.
