Polatuzumab Vedotin in Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

Project description:PurposePatients with transplantation-ineligible relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) fare poorly, with limited treatment options. The antibody-drug conjugate polatuzumab vedotin targets CD79b, a B-cell receptor component.MethodsSafety and efficacy of polatuzumab vedotin with bendamustine and obinutuzumab (pola-BG) was evaluated in a single-arm cohort. Polatuzumab vedotin combined with bendamustine and rituximab (pola-BR) was compared with bendamustine and rituximab (BR) in a randomly assigned cohort of patients with transplantation-ineligible R/R DLBCL (primary end point: independent review committee [IRC] assessed complete response [CR] rate at the end of treatment). Duration of response, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression methods.ResultsPola-BG and pola-BR had a tolerable safety profile. The phase Ib/II pola-BG cohort (n = 27) had a CR rate of 29.6% and a median OS of 10.8 months (median follow-up, 27.0 months). In the randomly assigned cohort (n = 80; 40 per arm), pola-BR patients had a significantly higher IRC-assessed CR rate (40.0% v 17.5%; P = .026) and longer IRC-assessed PFS (median, 9.5 v 3.7 months; hazard ratio [HR], 0.36, 95% CI, 0.21 to 0.63; P < .001) and OS (median, 12.4 v 4.7 months; HR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.24 to 0.75; P = .002; median follow-up, 22.3 months). Pola-BR patients had higher rates of grade 3-4 neutropenia (46.2% v 33.3%), anemia (28.2% v 17.9%), and thrombocytopenia (41% v 23.1%), but similar grade 3-4 infections (23.1% v 20.5%), versus the BR group. Peripheral neuropathy associated with polatuzumab vedotin (43.6% of patients) was grade 1-2 and resolved in most patients.ConclusionPolatuzumab vedotin combined with BR resulted in a significantly higher CR rate and reduced the risk of death by 58% compared with BR in patients with transplantation-ineligible R/R DLBCL.

Anti-CD20-atezolizumab-polatuzumab vedotin in relapsed/refractory follicular and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Project description:PurposeNew therapies are needed for relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This phase 1b, open-label trial evaluated two anti-CD20-based triplet combinations.MethodsPatients with R/R follicular lymphoma (FL; n = 13) were treated with obinutuzumab, atezolizumab, and polatuzumab vedotin (G-atezo-pola; 1.4 mg/kg/1.8 mg/kg) and patients with R/R diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL; n = 23) received rituximab (R)-atezo-pola. The primary efficacy endpoint was complete response (CR) at end of induction (EOI) by PET-CT (investigator assessed; modified Lugano 2014 criteria). Safety endpoints were also assessed.Results13 FL patients were treated and evaluable for safety; 2/23 DLBCL patients did not receive treatment and were not included in the safety population. Median observation time was 23.3 and 5.7 months in the FL and DLBCL cohorts, respectively. At EOI, CR rates in FL patients treated with G-atezo-pola at pola doses of 1.4 mg/kg (N = 3) and 1.8 mg/kg (N = 7) were 33% and 14%, respectively. In DLBCL patients receiving R-atezo-pola, the CR rate at EOI was 13%. In the FL cohort, 62% of patients experienced a grade 3-5 adverse event (AE; including two deaths) and 31% developed a serious AE (SAE). In DLBCL patients, R-atezo-pola was associated with a lower incidence of grade 3-5 AEs (24%; one death) and SAEs (10%). In both cohorts, the most common grade 3-5 AEs were hematologic toxicities.ConclusionBased on these safety issues, considered as related specifically to G-atezo-pola, and limited efficacy, no further development of either combination is planned.Trial registrationNCT02729896; Date of registration: April 6, 2016.

Safety and pharmacokinetics of polatuzumab vedotin in Japanese patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma: a phase 1 dose-escalation study.

Project description:ObjectiveA phase 1 dose-escalation study of polatuzumab vedotin (pola) was conducted to assess safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary antitumor activity of pola in Japanese patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.MethodsPatients received pola (1.0 or 1.8 mg/kg) intravenously every 21 days until disease progression or intolerance. Intra-patient dose escalation was prohibited. Tolerability was determined by the standard 3 + 3 rule. Blood sampling was performed to characterize pharmacokinetics. Antitumor activity was evaluated through computed tomography and bone marrow sampling.ResultsFour patients received pola 1.0 mg/kg; three received 1.8 mg/kg. Patients had follicular lymphoma (n = 4) or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n = 3), median age of 62 years, received a median of 3 prior therapies; six were female. Pola was well tolerated in both cohorts, with no dose-limiting toxicities observed. The most common adverse event was peripheral sensory neuropathy (n = 4). Grade 3 adverse events were cholecystitis and neutrophil count decreased (one each; both 1.0 mg/kg), and syncope and cataract (one each; both 1.8 mg/kg). The plasma half-life of antibody-conjugate monomethyl auristatin E was 4.43-7.98 days, and systemic exposure of unconjugated monomethyl auristatin E was limited in both cohorts. Four patients achieved objective responses (three complete, one partial) without disease progression during the study.ConclusionsThis phase 1 dose-escalation study demonstrated that pola has an acceptable safety profile and offers encouraging antitumor activity to Japanese patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Pola 1.8 mg/kg, the recommended phase 2 dose, was tolerable in Japanese patients.

Asian race and origin have no clinically meaningful effects on polatuzumab vedotin pharmacokinetics in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Project description:PurposeThe CD79b-targeted antibody-drug conjugate polatuzumab vedotin (pola), alone and with chemoimmunotherapy, has clinical efficacy and a tolerable safety profile in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). We assessed (a) whether exposure from global studies of pola is comparable to Asian patients, and (b) if the recommended pola dose is appropriate in Asian patients based on exposure.MethodsThe pharmacokinetics (PK) of pola in Asian and global populations was characterized for three analytes (antibody-conjugated monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) [acMMAE], total antibody, and unconjugated MMAE) in five phase 1b/2 single-agent and combination studies in B-NHL patients (JO29138 [JAPICCTI-142580], DCS4968g [NCT01290549], GO27834 [NCT01691898], GO29044 [NCT01992653], and GO29365 [NCT02257567]). PK data were compared between Japanese phase 1 JO29138 (JAPICCTI-142580) and global phase 1 DCS4968g (NCT01290549) studies and between Asian and non-Asian patients in the randomized relapsed/refractory B-NHL cohorts of the phase 1b/2 study GO29365 (NCT02257567). A population PK (popPK) model was used to assess the effects of Asian race and region on acMMAE and unconjugated MMAE exposure.ResultsPK non-compartmental analysis (NCA) parameters for the key analyte acMMAE in the Japanese JO29138 (JAPICCTI-142580) and global phase 1 DCS4968g (NCT01290549) studies were similar. In GO29365 (NCT02257567), the phase 1b/2 combination study, mean exposure to the analytes was generally lower in Asian patients (by ~ 9.9 to 17.5%), but not to a clinically meaningful extent. Overall, the popPK model further suggested comparable PK in Asian patients with B-NHL (race or region) versus non-Asian patients.ConclusionRace has no clinically meaningful effect on pola PK. These results (and observations from efficacy/safety exposure-response analyses) support no pola dose adjustments are warranted for Asian patients with DLBCL.

Combination brentuximab vedotin and bendamustine for pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma.

Project description:In patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), achieving a complete metabolic response (CMR) after salvage therapy is associated with superior outcomes, and optimal treatments must be identified. The combination of brentuximab vedotin and bendamustine (BVB), although highly active in adult patients, has not been extensively evaluated in pediatric patients with R/R HL. We performed a multicenter, retrospective review of pediatric patients <21 years of age with R/R HL treated with BVB from January 2016 through July 2019. Response was assessed by local radiologists according to Lugano classification criteria. Twenty-nine patients (17 relapsed, 12 refractory) with a median age of 16 years (range, 10-20) were treated with BVB and received a median of 3 cycles of therapy (range, 2-7). Patients received an infusion of 1.8 mg/kg of BV on day 1 with bendamustine 90 mg/m2 on days 1 and 2 of 3-week cycles. Nineteen patients (66%) achieved a CMR (95% CI, 46-82). An objective response was observed in 23 patients (objective response rate, 79%; 95% CI, 60-92). The most common grade 3 and 4 toxicities were hematologic, and 3 patients (10%) experienced grade 3 infusion reactions. Seventeen of 18 patients underwent successful mobilization and collection of stem cells. Sixteen patients (13 autologous, 3 allogeneic) received a consolidative transplant after BVB. The 3-year post-BVB event-free and overall survival were 65% (95% CI, 46-85) and 89% (95% CI, 74-100), respectively. For pediatric patients with R/R HL, BVB was well tolerated and compared favorably with currently accepted salvage regimens.

Role of brentuximab vedotin in the treatment of relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma.

Project description:Brentuximab vedotin (BV) is an antibody-drug conjugate that targets CD30-positive malignancies via an anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody linked to monomethyl auristatin E, a microtubule-disrupting agent, by a protease-cleavable linker. BV has received accelerated approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of classical Hodgkin lymphoma that has relapsed either after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) or after two lines of combination chemotherapy in patients ineligible for ASCT, and in systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma after failure of at least one line of multiagent chemotherapy. Phase I studies in CD30-positive lymphomas have determined the maximum tolerated dose to be 1.8 mg/kg intravenously every 21 days. In relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma, a pivotal Phase II study of single-agent BV showed an overall response rate of 75%, with 34% complete responses and a median remission duration of 20 months for complete responders. BV has a modest toxicity profile, with peripheral neuropathy as one of the most clinically significant side effects, and this is largely reversible. Therefore, BV is the treatment of choice for patients with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma after ASCT or two standard regimens. Ongoing trials are evaluating the role of BV as salvage therapy prior to ASCT and for maintenance after ASCT for patients with relapsed/refractory disease.

Brentuximab vedotin after autologous transplantation in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma.

Project description:Outcomes for children and adolescents with relapsed and refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are poor, with ∼50% of patients experiencing a subsequent relapse. The anti-CD30 antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab vedotin improved progression-free survival (PFS) when used as consolidation after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in adults with high-risk relapsed/refractory HL. Data on brentuximab vedotin as consolidative therapy after ASCT in pediatric patients with HL are extremely limited, with data of only 11 patients reported in the literature. We performed a retrospective analysis of 67 pediatric patients who received brentuximab vedotin as consolidation therapy after ASCT for the treatment of relapsed/refractory HL to describe the experience of this regimen in the pediatric population. This is the largest cohort reported to date. We found that brentuximab vedotin was well tolerated with a safety profile similar to that of adult patients. With a median follow-up of 37 months, the 3-year PFS was 85%. These data suggest a potential role for the use of brentuximab vedotin as consolidation therapy after ASCT for children with relapsed/refractory HL.

Polatuzumab Vedotin for the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma in Transplant-Ineligible Patients.

Project description:Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Although 5-year survival rates in the first-line setting can range from 60% to 70%, up to 50% of patients become refractory or relapse after treatment (Crump et al., 2017). The standard treatment for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is salvage chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant. Nonetheless, over 60% of patients are transplant ineligible, and there is currently no standard treatment option for these patients (Sarkozy & Sehn, 2018). Age, comorbidities, performance status, and disease deemed not responsive to chemotherapy conditioning are various factors potentially disqualifying patients for transplant. There is a strong demand for novel therapies. Polatuzumab vedotin, a targeted immunotherapy, was approved in 2019 by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for the treatment of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and is recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network for patients who are transplant ineligible. This article reviews the pharmacology of polatuzumab vedotin, along with its performance in clinical trials, financial considerations, and management of adverse effects.

A phase 2 study of polatuzumab vedotin + bendamustine + rituximab in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Project description:Polatuzumab vedotin (pola) is a CD79b-targeted antibody-drug conjugate delivering a potent antimitotic agent (monomethyl auristatin E) to B cells. This was an open-label, single-arm study of pola 1.8 mg/kg, bendamustine 90 mg/m2 , rituximab 375 mg/m2 (pola + BR) Q3W for up to six cycles in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who received ≥1 prior line of therapy and were ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) or experienced treatment failure with prior ASCT. Primary endpoint was complete response rate (CRR) at the end of the treatment (EOT) by positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) using modified Lugano Response Criteria. Secondary endpoints included efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics. Thirty-five patients (median age 71 [range 46-86] years) were enrolled. Twenty-three (66%) patients had refractory disease, and 23 (66%) had ≥2 prior lines of therapy. At a median follow-up of 5.4 (0.7-11.9) months, patients received a median of five treatment cycles. CRR was 34.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 19.1-52.2) at EOT. Overall response rate was 42.9% at EOT, and median progression-free survival was 5.2 months (95% CI 3.6-not evaluable). Median overall survival was not reached. No fatal adverse events (AEs) were observed. Grade 3-4 AEs were mainly hematological: anemia (37%), neutropenia (31%), white blood cell count decreased (23%), thrombocytopenia/platelet count decreased/neutrophil count decreased (20% each), and febrile neutropenia (11%). Grade 1-2 peripheral neuropathy (PN; sensory and/or motor) was reported in 14% of patients; there were no ≥grade 3 PN events. This study (JapicCTI-184048) demonstrated the efficacy and safety of pola + BR in Japanese patients with R/R DLBCL who were ineligible for ASCT.

Emerging Pharmacotherapy for Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin's Lymphoma: Focus on Brentuximab Vedotin.

Project description:Hodgkins' lymphoma (HL) which has relapsed post or is refractory to autologous bone marrow transplant presents an ongoing treatment challenge. Development of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) for the treatment of HL has aimed to replicate the success of mAb therapy in the treatment on Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. The identification of CD30 as a potential target for treatment has led to the development of a new antibody-drug conjugate, brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35), which conjugates monomethyl auristatin E to an anti-CD30 antibody to deliver targeted toxicity to the malignant Reed Sternberg cells of HL. This review describes CD30 as an antibody target, and focuses on the antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab vedotin, including current knowledge of the mechanism of action, preclinical, clinical and pharmacokinetic data available for Brentuximab Vedotin.
