New agents and regimens for diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: As a widely recognized standard regimen, R-CHOP (rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) is able to cure two-thirds patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and the remaining patients suffer from refractory or relapsed disease due to resistance to R-CHOP and fare poorly. Unsatisfied outcomes for those relapsed/refractory patients prompted efforts to discover new treatment approaches for DLBCL, including chimeric antigen receptor T cells, bispecific T cell engagers, immunomodulatory drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, molecular pathway inhibitors, and epigenetic-modifying drugs. Herein, up-to-date data about the most promising treatment approaches for DLBCL are recapitulated, and novel genetic classification systems are introduced to guide individualized treatment for DLBCL.

Project description:Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens are frequently used for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, the RIC regimen with the best risk/benefit profile for allo-HCT in DLBCL is not known. This is particularly important because patients with DLBCL undergoing allo-HCT in the future would be enriched for those whose lymphoma has failed chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy or other novel immunotherapies, with potentially more advanced disease and suboptimal performance scores. Using the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) database, we report the outcomes of the 3 most commonly used allo-HCT RIC regimens in patients with DLBCL. Our analysis included a total of 562 adult DLBCL patients in the CIBMTR registry undergoing allo-HCT using matched related or unrelated donors, between 2008 and 2016. Patients received 1 of 3 RIC regimens: fludarabine/i.v. busulfan ~6.4 mg/kg (Flu/Bu), fludarabine/melphalan 140 mg/m2 (Flu/Mel140), or BCNU/etoposide/cytarabine/melphalan (BEAM). Accordingly, the study group was divided into 3 groups: Flu/Bu (n = 151), Flu/Mel140 (n = 296), and BEAM (n = 115). Relative to Flu/Bu, the Flu/Mel140 (hazard ratio [HR], 2.33; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.42 to 3.82; P = .001) and BEAM (HR, 2.54; 95% CI, 1.34 to 4.80; P = .004) regimens were associated with a risk of higher nonrelapse mortality (NRM). Although the risk of relapse with Flu/Mel140 was lower than that with Flu/Bu (HR, .70; 95% CI, .52 to .95; P = .02), this did not translate to improved progression-free survival (HR, 1.04) or overall survival (HR, 1.30). There was a significantly higher risk of grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease with BEAM compared with Flu/Bu (HR, 2.19; 95% CI, 1.10 to 4.35; P = .03). In the chemosensitive subset, multivariate analysis showed a significantly higher mortality risk with Flu/Mel140 (HR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.07 to 2.04; P = .02) relative to Flu/Bu conditioning. In the largest analysis comparing the impact of various RIC regimens on the survival of DLBCL patients undergoing allo-HCT, our results suggest that Flu/Bu is a better RIC choice in less fit or heavily pretreated patients due to lowest NRM risk.

Project description:Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy (CAR19) represents a critical treatment modality for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, the majority of patients subsequently experience disease progression following CAR19, and data are limited on assessing the best salvage regimen for these patients. This study aimed to evaluate outcomes in R/R DLBCL patients with progressive disease post-CAR19 and to assess variables that predict response to salvage therapy. We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients with DLBCL who received CAR19 at our institution between January 2018 and February 2021, collecting data on demographic characteristics, disease characteristics, best response to CAR19, date of relapse or progression, and first salvage therapy and response to salvage. We analyzed patients according to whether they responded to CAR19 (responders) or did not (nonresponders). Salvage regimens were classified into 6 groups for analysis. Primary endpoints included overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox models were fit to evaluate the effect of prognostic factors. Among the 120 patients who received CAR19 during the analysis period were 69 responders who achieved a complete or partial response to CAR19 and 51 nonresponders, including 44 with stable or progressive disease and 7 who died before assessment. Thirty responders relapsed and 26 received salvage therapy, and 24 nonresponders received salvage therapy. The primary salvage regimens included lenalidomide-based regimens (n = 17; 34%), BTKi (n = 10; 20%), checkpoint inhibitor-based (n = 7; 14%), chemo-immunotherapy (n = 5; 10%), allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (n = 5; 10%), and others (n = 6; 12%). There was no significant difference in OS based on salvage regimen (P = .4545). Responders who received salvage therapy had significantly longer OS than nonresponders (median OS not reached versus 10.9 months; P = .0187), and response to CAR19 and elevated lactate dehydrogenase level at time of salvage treatment were the only two statistically significant prognostic factors after accounting for other variables. Responders to CAR19 had significantly better outcomes with salvage therapy compared with nonresponders to CAR19. There was no significant difference in outcomes based on salvage regimen. Future research is needed to assess the best salvage regimen post-CAR19 failure.
