Phase I trial of rituximab, cladribine, and temsirolimus (RCT) for initial therapy of mantle cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:We conducted this trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of temsirolimus added to an established regimen comprised of rituximab and cladribine for the initial treatment of mantle cell lymphoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS:A standard phase I cohort of three study design was utilized. The fixed doses of rituximab and cladribine were 375 mg/m(2) i.v. day 1 and 5 mg/m(2)/day i.v. days 1-5 of a 28-day cycle, respectively. There were five planned temsirolimus i.v. dose levels: 15 mg day 1; 25 mg day 1; 25 mg days 1 and 15; 25 mg days 1, 8 and 15; and 25 mg days 1, 8, 15, and 22. RESULTS:Seventeen patients were treated: three each at levels 1-4 and five at dose level 5. The median age was 75 years (52-86 years). Mantle Cell International Prognostic Index (MIPI) scores were low in 6% (1), intermediate in 59% (10), and high in 35% (6) of patients. Five patients were treated at level 5 without dose limiting toxicity. Hematologic toxicity was frequent: grade 3 anemia in 12%, grade 3 thrombocytopenia in 41%, grade 4 thrombocytopenia in 24%, grade 3 neutropenia in 6%, and grade 4 neutropenia in 18% of patients. The overall response rate (ORR) was 94% with 53% complete response and 41% partial response. The median progression-free survival was 18.7 months. CONCLUSIONS:Temsirolimus 25 mg i.v. weekly may be safely added to rituximab and cladribine at 375 mg/m(2) i.v. day 1 and 5 mg/m(2)/day i.v. days 1-5 of a 28-day cycle, respectively. This regimen had promising preliminary activity in an elderly cohort of patients with mantle cell lymphoma. CLINICALTRIALSGOV IDENTIFIER:NCT00787969.

Project description:BackgroundTemsirolimus is a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor with single-agent antitumour activity in patients with mantle cell lymphoma. We therefore tested its efficacy and toxicity in combination with rituximab (an antiCD20 antibody) in patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma.MethodsIn a phase 2 study, patients (aged ≥18 years) at 35 centres in the USA were given temsirolimus 25 mg/week, and rituximab 375 mg/m(2) per week for 4 weeks during the first cycle and thereafter a single dose of rituximab every other 28-day cycle. Both drugs were administered intravenously. Responding patients after six cycles could continue treatment for a total of 12 cycles, and were then observed without additional maintenance treatment. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with either rituximab-sensitive or rituximab-refractory disease who had at least a partial response. The analyses were done on all patients who were treated. The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00109967.Findings71 patients with mantle cell lymphoma were enrolled and 69 were assessable and were included in the final analysis. The overall response rate (ORR) was 59% (41 of 69 patients)-13 (19%) patients had complete responses and 28 (41%) had partial responses. The ORR was 63% (30 of 48; 95% CI 47-76) for rituximab-sensitive patients, and 52% (11 of 21; 30-74) for rituximab-refractory patients. The most common treatment-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events in rituximab-sensitive and rituximab-refractory patients were thrombocytopenia (eight [17%] and eight [38%], respectively), neutropenia (ten [21%] and five [24%], respectively), fatigue (eight [17%] and two [10%], respectively), leucopenia (six [13%] and three [14%], respectively), pneumonia (five [10%] and two [10%], respectively), lymphopenia (five [10%] and two [10%], respectively), pneumonitis (four [8%] and none, respectively), oedema (four [8%] and none, respectively), dyspnoea (three [6%] and two [10%], respectively), and hypertriglyceridaemia (three [6%] and two [10%], respectively).InterpretationmTOR inhibitors in combination with rituximab could have a role in the treatment of patients with relapsed and refractory mantle cell lymphoma.FundingNational Institutes of Health and the Predolin Foundation.

Project description:BackgroundMantle-cell lymphoma is generally incurable. Initial treatment is not standardized but usually includes cytotoxic chemotherapy. Lenalidomide, an immunomodulatory compound, and rituximab, an anti-CD20 antibody, are active in patients with recurrent mantle-cell lymphoma. We evaluated lenalidomide plus rituximab as a first-line therapy.MethodsWe conducted a single-group, multicenter, phase 2 study with induction and maintenance phases. During the induction phase, lenalidomide was administered at a dose of 20 mg daily on days 1 through 21 of every 28-day cycle for 12 cycles; the dose was escalated to 25 mg daily after the first cycle if no dose-limiting adverse events occurred during the first cycle and was reduced to 15 mg daily during the maintenance phase. Rituximab was administered once weekly for the first 4 weeks and then once every other cycle until disease progression. The primary end point was the overall response rate. Secondary end points included outcomes related to safety, survival, and quality of life.ResultsA total of 38 participants were enrolled at four centers from July 2011 through April 2014. The median age was 65 years. On the basis of the Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index scores, the proportions of participants with low-risk, intermediate-risk, and high-risk disease at baseline were similar (34%, 34%, and 32%, respectively). The most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events were neutropenia (in 50% of the patients), rash (in 29%), thrombocytopenia (in 13%), an inflammatory syndrome ("tumor flare") (in 11%), anemia (in 11%), serum sickness (in 8%), and fatigue (in 8%). At the median follow-up of 30 months (through February 2015), the overall response rate among the participants who could be evaluated was 92% (95% confidence interval [CI], 78 to 98), and the complete response rate was 64% (95% CI, 46 to 79); median progression-free survival had not been reached. The 2-year progression-free survival was estimated to be 85% (95% CI, 67 to 94), and the 2-year overall survival 97% (95% CI, 79 to 99). A response to treatment was associated with improvement in quality of life.ConclusionsCombination biologic therapy consisting of lenalidomide plus rituximab was active as initial therapy for mantle-cell lymphoma.
