A phase 2 study of mocetinostat, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, in relapsed or refractory lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Deregulation of histone deacetylase (HDAC) is important in the pathogenesis of follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Mocetinostat, an isotype-selective HDAC inhibitor, induces accumulation of acetylated histones, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in several cancers. This phase 2 study evaluated mocetinostat in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL and FL. Seventy-two patients received mocetinostat (starting doses: 70-110 mg TIW, 4-week cycles). The best overall response rate (95% CI) was 18·9% (7·2, 32·2) for the DLBCL cohort (n = 41), and 11·5% (1·7, 20·7) for the FL cohort (n = 31). Responses were durable (?90 days in 7 of 10 responses). Overall, 54·1% and 73·1% of patients derived clinical benefit (response or stable disease) from mocetinostat in the DLBCL and FL cohorts, respectively. Progression-free survival ranged from 1·8 to 22·8 months and 11·8 to 26·3 months in responders with DLBCL and FL, respectively. The most frequent treatment-related adverse events were fatigue (75·0%), nausea (69·4%) and diarrhoea (61·1%). Although mocetinostat had limited single-agent activity in R/R DLBCL and FL, patients with clinical benefit had long-term disease control. The safety profile was acceptable. This drug class warrants further investigation, including identifying patients more likely to respond to this agent, or in combination with other agents.

Project description:BackgroundCopanlisib is a pan-class I phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor with predominant activity against the α- and δ-isoforms.Patients and methodsThis phase II study evaluated the response rate of copanlisib administered intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle, in patients with indolent or aggressive malignant lymphoma. Archival tumor tissues were used for immunohistochemistry, gene-expression profiling, and mutation analysis.ResultsThirty-three patients with indolent lymphoma and 51 with aggressive lymphoma received copanlisib. Follicular lymphoma (48.5%) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (33.3%) were the most common histologic subtypes. Most patients (78.6%) had received prior rituximab and 54.8% were rituximab-refractory. Median duration of treatment was 23 and 8 weeks in the indolent and aggressive cohorts, respectively (overall range 2-138). Eighty patients were evaluated for efficacy. The objective response rate was 43.7% (14/32) in the indolent cohort and 27.1% (13/48) in the aggressive cohort; median progression-free survival was 294 days (range 0-874) and 70 days (range 0-897), respectively; median duration of response was 390 days (range 0-825) and 166 days (range 0-786), respectively. Common adverse events included hyperglycemia (57.1%; grade ≥3, 23.8%), hypertension (54.8%; grade ≥3, 40.5%), and diarrhea (40.5%; grade ≥3, 4.8%), all generally manageable. Neutropenia occurred in 28.6% of patients (grade 4, 11.9%). Molecular analyses showed enhanced antitumor activity in tumors with upregulated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway gene expression.ConclusionIntravenous copanlisib demonstrated promising efficacy and manageable toxicity in heavily pretreated patients with various subtypes of indolent and aggressive malignant lymphoma. Subtype-specific studies of copanlisib in patients with follicular, peripheral T-cell, and mantle cell lymphomas are ongoing. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT01660451 (Part A).

Project description:The prognosis of patients with relapsed Hodgkin's lymphoma, especially those who relapse after stem-cell transplantation, is poor, and the development of new agents for this patient population is an unmet medical need. We tested the safety and efficacy of mocetinostat, an oral isotype-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor, in patients with relapsed classical Hodgkin's lymphoma.Patients with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin's lymphoma aged 18 years or older were treated with mocetinostat administered orally three times per week, in 28-day cycles. Two doses were assessed (85 mg and 110 mg). Patients were treated until disease progression or prohibitive toxicity. The primary outcome was disease control rate, defined as complete response, partial response, or stable disease (for at least six cycles), analysed by intention to treat. This trial has been completed and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00358982.51 patients were enrolled. Initially, 23 patients were enrolled in the 110 mg cohort. Subsequently, because toxicity-related dose reductions were necessary in the 110 mg cohort, we treated 28 additional patients with a dose of 85 mg. On the basis of intent-to-treat analysis, the disease control rate was 35% (eight of 23 patients) in the 110 mg group and 25% (seven of 28) in the 85 mg group. 12 patients (24%) discontinued treatment because of adverse events, nine (32%) in the 85 mg cohort and three (13%) in the 110 mg cohort. The most frequent treatment-related grade 3 and 4 adverse events were neutropenia (four patients [17%] in the 110 mg group, three [11%] in the 85 mg group); fatigue (five patients [22%] in the 110 mg group, three [11%] in the 85 mg group); and pneumonia (four patients [17%] in the 110 mg group, two [7%] in the 85 mg group). Four patients, all in the 110 mg cohort, died during the study, of which two might have been related to treatment.Mocetinostat, 85 mg three times per week, has promising single-agent clinical activity with manageable toxicity in patients with relapsed classical Hodgkin's lymphoma.MethylGene Inc, Montreal, Canada; Celgene Corporation, Summit, NJ, USA; Tufts Medical Center, Boston, MA, USA.
