Phase II Study of the PD-1 Inhibitor Pembrolizumab for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Mature T-cell Lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) are frequently expressed in T-cell lymphomas. This provides a rationale for exploration of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the management of T-cell lymphomas. PATIENTS AND METHODS:In this phase II single-arm multicenter trial, patients with relapsed or refractory systemic T-cell lymphoma were treated with 200 mg pembrolizumab intravenously every 21 days. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoints were response rate, overall survival, response duration, and safety. We assessed PD-L1, p-AKT expression, and peripheral blood immune cells as potential predictive biomarkers. RESULTS:Of 18 enrolled patients, 13 were evaluable for the primary endpoint. The trial was halted early after a preplanned interim futility analysis. The overall response rate was 33% (95% confidence interval [CI], 9%-55%); 4 patients achieved a complete response (27%; 95% CI, 5%-49%). The median PFS was 3.2 months (95% CI, 1.2-3.7 months), and the median overall survival was 10.6 months (95% CI, 3.2-100 months). The median duration of response was 2.9 months (95% CI, 0-10.1 months). Two of the 4 complete responders remain in remission > 15 months. Rash was the most common adverse event (17%; n = 3). The most common ? grade 3 treatment-emergent adverse events were rash and pneumonitis (11%; n = 2 each). Neither PD-L1 nor p-AKT expression were associated with outcomes. However, a higher relative frequency of CD4+ T lymphocytes pre-treatment was associated with improved PFS (hazard ratio, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.03-0.74). CONCLUSION:Pembrolizumab demonstrated modest single-agent activity in relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma.

Project description:Background:Copanlisib is a pan-class I phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor with predominant activity against the ?- and ?-isoforms. Patients and methods:This 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. Results:Thirty-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. Conclusion:Intravenous 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).
