RESUMO
The combination of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ) inhibitor zandelisib with the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor zanubrutinib was hypothesized to be synergistic and prevent resistance to single-agent therapy. This phase 1 study (NCT02914938) included a dose-finding stage in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell malignancies (n = 20) and disease-specific expansion cohorts in follicular lymphoma (FL; n = 31) or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL; n = 19). The recommended phase 2 dose was zandelisib 60 mg on Days 1-7 plus zanubrutinib 80 mg twice daily continuously in 28-day cycle. In the total population, the most common adverse events (AEs; all grades/grade 3-4) were neutropenia (35%/24%), diarrhoea (33%/2%), thrombocytopenia (32%/8%), anaemia (27%/8%), increased creatinine (25%/0%), contusion (21%/0%), fatigue (21%/2%), nausea (21%/2%) and increased aspartate aminotransferase (24%/6%). Three patients discontinued due to AEs. The overall response rate was 87% (complete response [CR] = 33%) for FL and 74% (CR = 47%) for MCL. The median duration of response and progression-free survival (PFS) were not reached in either group. The estimated 1-year PFS was 72.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 51.9-85.1) for FL and 56.3% (95% CI, 28.9-76.7) for MCL (median follow-up: 16.5 and 10.9 months respectively). Zandelisib plus zanubrutinib was associated with high response rates and no increased toxicity compared to either agent alone.

BACKGROUND: Patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma for whom treatment has failed with both Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor and venetoclax have few treatment options and poor outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) at the recommended phase 2 dose in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. METHODS: We report the primary analysis of TRANSCEND CLL 004, an open-label, single-arm, phase 1-2 study conducted in the USA. Patients aged 18 years or older with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma and at least two previous lines of therapy, including a BTK inhibitor, received an intravenous infusion of liso-cel at one of two target dose levels: 50â×â106 (dose level 1) or 100â×â106 (dose level 2, DL2) chimeric antigen receptor-positive T cells. The primary endpoint was complete response or remission (including with incomplete marrow recovery), assessed by independent review according to the 2018 International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia criteria, in efficacy-evaluable patients with previous BTK inhibitor progression and venetoclax failure (the primary efficacy analysis set) at DL2 (null hypothesis of ≤5%). This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03331198. FINDINGS: Between Jan 2, 2018, and June 16, 2022, 137 enrolled patients underwent leukapheresis at 27 sites in the USA. 117 patients received liso-cel (median age 65 years [IQR 59-70]; 37 [32%] female and 80 [68%] male; 99 [85%] White, five [4%] Black or African American, two [2%] other races, and 11 [9%] unknown race; median of five previous lines of therapy [IQR 3-7]); all 117 participants had received and had treatment failure on a previous BTK inhibitor. A subset of patients had also experienced venetoclax failure (n=70). In the primary efficacy analysis set at DL2 (n=49), the rate of complete response or remission (including with incomplete marrow recovery) was statistically significant at 18% (n=9; 95% CI 9-32; p=0·0006). In patients treated with liso-cel, grade 3 cytokine release syndrome was reported in ten (9%) of 117 (with no grade 4 or 5 events) and grade 3 neurological events were reported in 21 (18%; one [1%] grade 4, no grade 5 events). Among 51 deaths on the study, 43 occurred after liso-cel infusion, of which five were due to treatment-emergent adverse events (within 90 days of liso-cel infusion). One death was related to liso-cel (macrophage activation syndrome-haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis). INTERPRETATION: A single infusion of liso-cel was shown to induce complete response or remission (including with incomplete marrow recovery) in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma, including patients who had experienced disease progression on a previous BTK inhibitor and venetoclax failure. The safety profile was manageable. FUNDING: Juno Therapeutics, a Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.

Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) and venetoclax are currently used to treat newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). However, most patients eventually develop resistance to these therapies, underscoring the need for effective new therapies. We report results of the phase 1 dose-escalation portion of the multicenter, open-label, phase 1/2 TRANSCEND CLL 004 (NCT03331198) study of lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel), an autologous CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL. Patients with standard- or high-risk features treated with ≥3 or ≥2 prior therapies, respectively, including a BTKi, received liso-cel at 1 of 2 dose levels (50 × 106 or 100 × 106 CAR+ T cells). Primary objectives included safety and determining recommended dose; antitumor activity by 2018 International Workshop on CLL guidelines was exploratory. Minimal residual disease (MRD) was assessed in blood and marrow. Twenty-three of 25 enrolled patients received liso-cel and were evaluable for safety. Patients had a median of 4 (range, 2-11) prior therapies (100% had ibrutinib; 65% had venetoclax) and 83% had high-risk features including mutated TP53 and del(17p). Seventy-four percent of patients had cytokine release syndrome (9% grade 3) and 39% had neurological events (22% grade 3/4). Of 22 efficacy-evaluable patients, 82% and 45% achieved overall and complete responses, respectively. Of 20 MRD-evaluable patients, 75% and 65% achieved undetectable MRD in blood and marrow, respectively. Safety and efficacy were similar between dose levels. The phase 2 portion of the study is ongoing at 100 × 106 CAR+ T cells. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03331198.

CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has revolutionized treatment for patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). However, data available concerning the impact of the prognostic value of quantitative 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) parameters on the CAR T-related outcomes and toxicities are limited. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the predictive value of pre- and post-CAR T metabolic parameters on survival and toxicities following CAR T-cell therapy. Fifty-nine patients with PET/CT scans done pre-and post-CAR T infusion were retrospectively identified and analyzed in a single institution database of LBCL patients treated with commercial CD19-targeted CAR T-cell therapy. The median follow-up was 10.7 months [interquartile range (IQR): 2.6-25.5 months]. The overall response (complete response-CR and partial response) and CR rates post-CAR T were 76% (n = 45) and 53% (n = 31), respectively. On univariate analysis, low pre-CAR T total lesion glycolysis (TLG) and metabolic tumor volume (MTV) predicted improved overall response post-CAR T (OR = 4.7, p = 0.01, OR = 9.5, p = 0.03, respectively) and CR post-CAR T (OR = 12.4, p = 0.0004, OR = 10.9, p = 0.0001, respectively). High TLG pre-CAR T was correlated with cytokine release syndrome (CRS, OR = 3.25, p = 0.04). High MTV pre-CAR T was correlated with developing immune effector cell neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) events (OR = 4.3, p = 0.01), and high SUV pre-CAR T was associated with grade 3-4 neurological events (OR = 12, p = 0.01). High MTV/TLG/SUVmax post-CAR T were significantly associated with inferior Overall survival (OS). On multivariate analysis, high TLG pre-CAR T (HR = 2.4, p = 0.03), age ≥60 (HR = 2.7, p = 0.03), and bulky disease (≥5 cm) at the time of apheresis (HR = 2.5, p = 0.02) were identified to be independent prognostic factors for inferior PFS. High MTV post-CAR T was identified as the most prognostic factor associated with inferior OS.

Importance: Anthracyclines treat a broad range of cancers. Basic and retrospective clinical data have suggested that use of atorvastatin may be associated with a reduction in cardiac dysfunction due to anthracycline use. Objective: To test whether atorvastatin is associated with a reduction in the proportion of patients with lymphoma receiving anthracyclines who develop cardiac dysfunction. Design, Setting, and Participants: Double-blind randomized clinical trial conducted at 9 academic medical centers in the US and Canada among 300 patients with lymphoma who were scheduled to receive anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Enrollment occurred between January 25, 2017, and September 10, 2021, with final follow-up on October 10, 2022. Interventions: Participants were randomized to receive atorvastatin, 40 mg/d (n = 150), or placebo (n = 150) for 12 months. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was the proportion of participants with an absolute decline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≥10% from prior to chemotherapy to a final value of <55% over 12 months. A secondary outcome was the proportion of participants with an absolute decline in LVEF of ≥5% from prior to chemotherapy to a final value of <55% over 12 months. Results: Of the 300 participants randomized (mean age, 50 [SD, 17] years; 142 women [47%]), 286 (95%) completed the trial. Among the entire cohort, the baseline mean LVEF was 63% (SD, 4.6%) and the follow-up LVEF was 58% (SD, 5.7%). Study drug adherence was noted in 91% of participants. At 12-month follow-up, 46 (15%) had a decline in LVEF of 10% or greater from prior to chemotherapy to a final value of less than 55%. The incidence of the primary end point was 9% (13/150) in the atorvastatin group and 22% (33/150) in the placebo group (P = .002). The odds of a 10% or greater decline in LVEF to a final value of less than 55% after anthracycline treatment was almost 3 times greater for participants randomized to placebo compared with those randomized to atorvastatin (odds ratio, 2.9; 95% CI, 1.4-6.4). Compared with placebo, atorvastatin also reduced the incidence of the secondary end point (13% vs 29%; P = .001). There were 13 adjudicated heart failure events (4%) over 24 months of follow-up. There was no difference in the rates of incident heart failure between study groups (3% with atorvastatin, 6% with placebo; P = .26). The number of serious related adverse events was low and similar between groups. Conclusions and Relevance: Among patients with lymphoma treated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy, atorvastatin reduced the incidence of cardiac dysfunction. This finding may support the use of atorvastatin in patients with lymphoma at high risk of cardiac dysfunction due to anthracycline use.

BACKGROUND: Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase p110δ (PI3Kδ) inhibitors are efficacious in B-cell malignancies. Immune-related adverse events might be mitigated with intermittent dosing. We aimed to evaluate the safety and antitumour activity of zandelisib, a potent novel PI3Kδ inhibitor, with continuous or intermittent dosing as monotherapy or in combination with rituximab, in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancy. METHODS: We conducted a first-in-patient, dose-escalation and dose-expansion, phase 1b trial at ten treatment centres across Switzerland and the USA. Eligible patients were aged 18 years or older with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancy (limited to follicular lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukaemia during dose escalation) and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, and had received at least one previous line of therapy and no previous PI3Kδ inhibitor treatment. In the dose-escalation study, participants received oral zandelisib once daily (60 mg, 120 mg, or 180 mg; we did not evaluate four additional planned dose levels). The 60 mg dose was further evaluated as monotherapy or with intravenous rituximab 375 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of cycle 1 and day 1 of cycles 3-6, using a continuous daily schedule or intermittent dosing therapy (days 1-28 of cycles 1-2 and days 1-7 of subsequent cycles) in 28-day cycles. Treatment was continued until evidence of disease progression, intolerance, or withdrawal of consent by the patient. Primary endpoints were safety (dose-limiting toxicities and maximum tolerated dose), minimum biologically effective dose, and a composite endpoint to assess the activity of each dose level, and were analysed by intention to treat. The zandelisib monotherapy and zandelisib-rituximab combination cohorts have completed accrual, but accrual to a cohort evaluating zandelisib with zanubrutinib is ongoing. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02914938. FINDINGS: Between Nov 17, 2016, and June 2, 2020, 100 patients were assessed for eligibility and 97 were enrolled and received zandelisib monotherapy (n=56) or zandelisib plus rituximab (n=41), with zandelisib administered on either a continuous schedule (n=38) or with intermittent dosing (n=59). No dose-limiting toxicities were observed, the objective of determining the maximum tolerated dose was abandoned, and antitumour activity was similar across the evaluated doses activity (objective responses in 11 [92%; 95% CI 61·5-99·8] of 12 patients at both 60 mg and 120 mg doses, and in five [83%; 95% CI 35·9-99·6] of six patients at 180 mg). With a median duration of exposure of 15·2 months (IQR 3·7-21·7), the most common grade 3-4 adverse events were neutrophil count decrease (ten [17%] of 59 patients in the intermittent dosing group and four [11%] of 38 in the continuous dosing group), diarrhoea (three [5%] and eight [21%]), pneumonia (one [2%] and six [16%]), alanine aminotransferase increase (three [5%] and two [5%]), and colitis (two [3%] and one [3%]). 26 (44%) of 59 patients in the intermittent dosing group and 29 (76%) of 38 patients in the continuous dosing group had grade 3-4 adverse events. Treatment-related serious adverse events occurred in eight (21%) patients in the continuous dosing group and five (8%) patients in the intermittent dosing group. There were no treatment-related deaths. INTERPRETATION: Zandelisib 60 mg once daily on an intermittent dosing schedule was safe, with low frequency of grade 3 or worse adverse events, warranting the ongoing global phase 2 and phase 3 trials.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have emerged as a promising class of cell-based immunotherapy in refractory malignancies. Neurotoxicity represents a common and potentially life-threatening adverse effect of CAR T cells, and clinical experience is limited. Here, we describe the clinical presentation and management of 25 adult patients who presented with neurotoxic syndromes after CAR T-cell therapy at the Massachusetts General Hospital. This cohort includes 24 patients treated with CD19-directed CAR T cells for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 23) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 1), and 1 patient treated with α-fetoprotein-directed CAR T cells for hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 1). Twelve of the 25 patients (48%) developed grade 1-2 neurotoxicity and 13 patients (52%) presented with grade 3-4 neurotoxicity. We found that lower platelet counts at time of CAR T-cell infusion were associated with more severe neurotoxicity (P = .030). Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 24 of 25 patients (96%). Serum levels of ferritin peaked with onset of neurologic symptoms, and higher ferritin levels were associated with higher neurotoxicity grade. Grade 3-4 neurotoxicity correlated negatively with overall survival (OS) (P = .013). Median OS of the entire cohort was 54.7 weeks. Eight patients (32%) with grade 3-4 neurotoxicity were deceased at database closure, whereas none died with neurotoxicity grade 1-2. High pretreatment lactate dehydrogenase was frequently encountered in lymphoma patients with grade 3-4 neurotoxicity and correlated negatively with progression-free survival (P = .048). We did not find evidence that steroid use ≥7 days altered the patient's outcome when compared with <7 days of steroids. Management of CAR T cell-mediated neurotoxicity warrants evaluation in prospective clinical trials.

Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBL) is a distinct subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that shows overlap with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) and a favorable prognosis compared to mediastinal gray-zone lymphoma (MGZL). We performed immunohistochemistry on initial diagnostic specimens of 49 cases of uniformly treated PMBL to determine the frequency and clinical significance of expression of antigens commonly seen in CHL and MGZL, along with markers previously shown to be prognostic in DLBCL, not otherwise specified. The median age was 37 years with a female:male ratio of 2.3. After a median follow-up of 78 months, 24% of patients had relapsed or refractory disease and 22% had died; the 5-year PFS was 70%. Variable CD15 expression was seen in 31% of cases, but was not associated with adverse outcome. Hans cell-of-origin, proliferation index, and MYC/BCL2 coexpression were not associated with outcome, while low PDL1 (P = 0.011) and high MUM1 (P = 0.065) staining were each associated with shorter PFS. A biologic risk score (one point each for low PDL1 and high MUM1) stratified patients into three prognostic risk groups for PFS (P = 0.001) and OS (P = 0.032). On separate multivariate models, low PDL1 was independent of R-IPI risk group for PFS (HR 6.0, P = 0.023), as was a biologic risk score of 2 (HR 5.6, P = 0.011). Incorporation of the biologic risk score sub-stratified patients within R-IPI groups for both PFS (P < 0.001) and OS (P < 0.001). In summary, we characterize the immunophenotypic spectrum of PMBL and identify PDL1 and MUM1 as prognostic biomarkers for high-risk disease. Am. J.

BACKGROUND: Castleman disease is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder characterized as either unicentric or multicentric. Unicentric Castleman disease (UCD) is localized and carries an excellent prognosis, whereas multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) is a systemic disease occurring most commonly in the setting of HIV infection and is associated with human herpesvirus 8. MCD has been associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, and the therapeutic landscape for its management continues to evolve. METHODS: The available medical literature on UCD and MCD was reviewed. The clinical presentation and pathological diagnosis of Castleman disease was reviewed, along with associated disorders such as certain malignancies and autoimmune complications. RESULTS: Surgical resection remains the standard therapy for UCD, while systemic therapies are required for the management of MCD. Rituximab monotherapy is the mainstay of therapy; however, novel therapies targeting interleukin 6 may represent a treatment option in the near future. Antiviral strategies as well as single-agent and combination chemotherapy with glucocorticoids are established systemic therapies. The management of Castleman disease also requires careful attention to potential concomitant infections, malignancies, and associated syndromes. CONCLUSIONS: UCD and MCD constitute uncommon but well-defined clinicopathologic entities. Although UCD is typically well controlled with local therapy, MCD continues to pose formidable challenges in management. We address historical chemotherapy-based approaches to this disease as well as recently developed targeted therapies, including rituximab and siltuximab, that have improved the outcome for newly diagnosed patients. Ongoing research into the management of MCD is needed.

Venetoclax-obinutuzumab (Ven-O) is frequently administered off-label in relapsed/refractory (r/r) CLL/SLL where venetoclax-rituximab is the approved regimen. We conducted this retrospective, real-world study to evaluate Ven-O in r/r CLL/SLL. Between 7/2019 and 6/2022, 40 patients with r/r CLL/SLL on Ven-O were included. The median age was 72, 28.2% had TP53 mutation and/or 17p deletion, median number of prior therapies was 1 (range, 1-6), and 55% had prior BTK inhibitor exposure. The overall response rate was 90% (complete response [CR] or CR with incomplete marrow recovery in 27.5% and partial response in 62.5%) of patients, and the 2-year progression-free survival was 81.2% (95% CI, 69.5-94.8). Therapy was well tolerated. No laboratory or clinical TLS occurred with venetoclax (Howard criteria). One (3%) patient experienced laboratory TLS with obinutuzumab initiation. In summary, this retrospective cohort study demonstrated that Ven-O achieves frequent, durable responses and can be safely administered in r/r CLL/SLL.

ABSTRACT: Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) can develop hypogammaglobulinemia, a form of secondary immune deficiency (SID), from the disease and treatments. Patients with hypogammaglobulinemia with recurrent infections may benefit from immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IgRT). This study evaluated patterns of immunoglobulin G (IgG) testing and the effectiveness of IgRT in real-world patients with CLL or NHL. A retrospective, longitudinal study was conducted among adult patients diagnosed with CLL or NHL. Clinical data from the Massachusetts General Brigham Research Patient Data Registry were used. IgG testing, infections, and antimicrobial use were compared before vs 3, 6, and 12 months after IgRT initiation. Generalized estimating equation logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals, and P values. The study population included 17 192 patients (CLL: n = 3960; median age, 68 years; NHL: n = 13 232; median age, 64 years). In the CLL and NHL cohorts, 67% and 51.2% had IgG testing, and 6.5% and 4.7% received IgRT, respectively. After IgRT initiation, the proportion of patients with hypogammaglobulinemia, the odds of infections or severe infections, and associated antimicrobial use, decreased significantly. Increased frequency of IgG testing was associated with a significantly lower likelihood of severe infection. In conclusion, in real-world patients with CLL or NHL, IgRT was associated with significant reductions in hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, severe infections, and associated antimicrobials. Optimizing IgG testing and IgRT are warranted for the comprehensive management of SID in patients with CLL or NHL.

STOP-CA was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial comparing atorvastatin to placebo in treatment-naïve lymphoma patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy. We performed a preplanned subgroup to analyze the impact of atorvastatin on efficacy in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Patients received rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) at standard doses for six 21-day cycles and were randomly assigned to receive atorvastatin 40 mg daily (n = 55) or placebo (n = 47) for 12 months. The complete response (CR) rate was numerically higher in the atorvastatin arm (95% [52/55] vs. 85% [40/47], p = .18), but this was not statistically significant. Adverse event rates were similar between the atorvastatin and placebo arms. In summary, atorvastatin did not result in a statistically significant improvement in the CR rate or progression-free survival, but both were numerically improved in the atorvastatin arm. These data warrant further investigation into the potential therapeutic role of atorvastatin added to anthracycline-based chemotherapies.

CD52 is expressed on malignant cells in lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL), including IgM-secreting Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM). We examined the activity of alemtuzumab in 28 symptomatic LPL (27 IgM and 1 IgA) patients. The median prior number of therapies for these patients was 2 (range, 0-5) and 43% had refractory disease. Patients received alemtuzumab at 30 mg IV 3 times weekly for up to 12 weeks after test dosing, and also received hydrocortisone, acyclovir, and Bactrim or equivalent prophylaxis. Patients had a complete response (n = 1), a partial response (n = 9), or a MR (n = 11) for an overall and major response rate of 75% and 36%, respectively. Median serum Ig decreased from 3510 to 1460 mg/dL (P < .001 at best response). With a median follow-up of 64 months, the median time to progression was 14.5 months. Hematologic and infectious complications, including CMV reactivation, were more common in previously treated patients and were indirectly associated with 3 deaths. Long-term follow-up revealed late-onset autoimmune thrombocytopenia (AITP) in 4 patients at a median of 13.6 months after therapy, which contributed to 1 death. Alemtuzumab is an active therapy in patients with LPL, but short- and long-term toxicities need to be carefully weighed against other available treatment options. Late AITP is a newly recognized complication of alemtuzumab in this patient population. This study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00142181.

BTK inhibitors (BTKi) are highly effective in B-cell malignancies. Acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib have exhibited favorable safety profiles when compared with ibrutinib. We identified all published/presented randomized trials comparing a second-generation BTKi with ibrutinib and reconstructed individual patient-level, censored time-to-event data for adverse events to evaluate the impact of second-generation BTKi on safety outcomes including atrial fibrillation/flutter [AF], hypertension, bleeding, diarrhea, and infection. 1386 pts from ELEVATE-RR (n = 533), ALPINE (n = 652), and ASPEN (n = 201) trials were included in the analyses. Acalabrutinib or zanubrutinib were associated with significant reductions in cumulative event rates of AF (HR 0.28, 95% CI 0.18-0.42, p < 0.001), bleeding (HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.52-0.81, p < 0.001), diarrhea (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.47-0.78, p < 0.001), hypertension (HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.27-0.61, p < 0.001), and infections (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.70-0.98, p = 0.032). In summary, zanubrutinib and acalabrutinib have a favorable safety profile among pts with r/r B-cell malignancies. These data support use of acalabrutinib or zanubrutinib as preferred BTK inhibitors for approved indications.

Targeted therapies have largely replaced chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) in first-line treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We aimed to develop a prognostic model to determine who would benefit from first-line CIT vs target therapy. In follicular lymphoma, time from diagnosis to second treatment (TT2T) correlates better with overall survival (OS) than time from diagnosis to first treatment (TT1T). We hypothesized that TT2T is a potential surrogate for OS in CLL. In a model-building cohort (n = 298), we evaluated potential predictors for TT2T and derived a risk score, which we validated in an external cohort (n = 1141). Our data demonstrated that TT2T and OS were more strongly correlated than TT1T and OS. Our risk score model consisted of three predictors (unmutated IGHV, ß2-microglobulin >297 nmol/L, and Rai stage I-IV), and was prognostic for TT2T and OS. TT2T is a promising surrogate for OS in CLL, but further validation is needed to establish this association.
