Urelumab alone or in combination with rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Urelumab, a fully human, non-ligand binding, CD137 agonist IgG4 monoclonal antibody, enhances T-cell and natural killer-cell antitumor activity in preclinical models, and may enhance cytotoxic activity of rituximab. Here we report results in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and other B-cell lymphomas, in phase 1 studies evaluating urelumab alone (NCT01471210) or combined with rituximab (NCT01775631). Sixty patients received urelumab (0.3 mg/kg IV Q3W, 8 mg IV Q3W, or 8 mg IV Q6W); 46 received urelumab (0.1 mg/kg, 0.3 mg/kg, or 8 mg IV Q3W)?plus?rituximab 375?mg/m2 IV QW. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of urelumab was determined to be 0.1 mg/kg or 8 mg Q3W after a single event of potential drug-induced liver injury occurred with urelumab 0.3 mg/kg. Treatment-related AEs were reported in 52% (urelumab: grade 3/4, 15%) and 72% (urelumab + rituximab: grade 3/4, 28%); three led to discontinuation (grade 3 increased AST, grade 4 acute hepatitis [urelumab]; one death from sepsis syndrome [urelumab plus rituximab]). Objective response rates/disease control rates were 6%/19% (DLBCL, n = 31), 12%/35% (FL, n = 17), and 17%/42% (other B-cell lymphomas, n = 12) with urelumab and 10%/24% (DLBCL, n = 29) and 35%/71% (FL, n = 17) with urelumab plus rituximab. Durable remissions in heavily pretreated patients were achieved; however, many were observed at doses exceeding the MTD. These data show that urelumab alone or in combination with rituximab demonstrated manageable safety in B-cell lymphoma, but the combination did not enhance clinical activity relative to rituximab alone or other current standard of care.

Project description:Temsirolimus 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.In 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 NCT00109967.71 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).mTOR inhibitors in combination with rituximab could have a role in the treatment of patients with relapsed and refractory mantle cell lymphoma.National Institutes of Health and the Predolin Foundation.
