RESUMEN
A phase 2, international, open-label, non-randomized, single-arm trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tipifarnib, a farnesyltransferase inhibitor, as monotherapy for relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and to evaluate tumor mutation profile as a biomarker of response. Adults with relapsed/refractory PTCL received tipifarnib 300 mg orally twice daily for 21 days in a 28-day cycle. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR); secondary endpoints included ORR, progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), and adverse events (AEs) in specific subtypes. Sixty-five patients with PTCL were enrolled: n=38 angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), n=25 PTCL not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), and n=2 other T-cell lymphomas. The ORR was 39.7% (95% CI, 28.1-52.5) in all patients and 56.3% (95% CI, 39.3-71.8) for AITL. Median PFS was 3.5 months overall (954% CI, 2.1-4.4), and 3.6 months (95% CI, 1.9-8.3) for AITL. Median DOR was 3.7 months (95% CI, 2.0-15.3), and greatest in AITL patients (7.8 months; 95% CI, 2.0-16.3). The median overall survival was 32.8 months (95% CI, 14.4 to not applicable). Tipifarnib-related hematologic AEs were manageable and included: neutropenia (43.1%), thrombocytopenia (36.9%), and anemia (30.8%); other tipifarnib-related AEs included nausea (29.2%) and diarrhea (27.7%). One treatment-related death occurred. Mutations in RhoA, DNMT3A, and IDH2 were seen in 60%, 33%, and 27%, respectively, in the AITL tipifarnib responder group vs 36%, 9%, and 9% in the non-responder group. Tipifarnib monotherapy demonstrated encouraging clinical activity in heavily pre-treated relapsed/refractory PTCL, especially in AITL, with a manageable safety profile.

RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of axi-cel vs. salvage immunochemotherapy followed by high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem-cell transplantation (HDT+ASCT) for responders to second-line treatment for relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). METHODS: A partitioned survival mixture-cure model comprising three health states was used to estimate the costs, life years gained (LYG), and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) accumulated over a lifetime horizon. Overall survival, event-free survival, and time to the next treatment with axi-cel and HDT+ASCT were derived from the ZUMA-7 study. The total costs (EUR, 2022) included drug acquisition and administration, ASCT, subsequent treatment, disease and adverse event management, and palliative care. The unitary costs were derived from local databases and the literature. A 3% discount rate was applied to the costs and outcomes. RESULTS: Compared with HDT+ASCT, axi-cel provided higher LYG per patient (10.00 vs. 8.28 LYG/patient) and greater QALYs gained per patient (7.85 vs. 6.04 QALY/patient). The lifetime total costs were 343,581 EUR/patient with axi-cel vs. 257,994 EUR/patient with IQT+ASCT. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of axi-cel vs. HDT+ASCT was 49,627 EUR/LYG, and the incremental cost-utility ratio was 47,309 EUR/QALY. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the model. CONCLUSION: Axi-cel is a potentially cost-effective alternative to HDT+ASCT for the treatment of R/R DLBCL in Spain.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: This phase II clinical trial evaluated the combination of Ibrutinib with rituximab, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (R-GemOx) in patients with non-germinal centre B-cell-like (non-GCB) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The IBDCL trial (NCT02692248) included patients with histological diagnosis of non-GCB DLBCL with relapsed or refractory disease and non-candidates for stem cell transplantation. Patients received an induction treatment consisting of 6 or 8 cycles of R-GemOx at standard doses every 2 weeks, in combination with ibrutinib (560 mg daily), followed by a maintenance treatment with ibrutinib for a maximum of 2 years. The primary objective was to evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) after 4 cycles. RESULTS: Sixty-four patients were included, 72% of them refractory to the last regimen. The ORR and CR rate after the 4th cycle were 53% (95% confidence interval [CI], 41-65) and 34% (95% CI, 24-46), respectively. Twenty-four (37%) patients started maintenance and 7 (11%) completed the planned 2 years. After a median follow-up of 29.7 months (range: 0.4-48.6), the estimated 2-year PFS and OS were 18% (95% CI, 8 - 28) and 26% (95% CI, 14 - 37), respectively. The most common grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were thrombocytopenia (44%), neutropenia (30%) and anemia (14%). Grade ≥3 infectious and cardiovascular TRAEs were reported in 6 (9%) and 1 (2%) patient, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Ibrutinib in combination with R-GemOx, followed by ibrutinib maintenance, demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity with durable responses and a manageable toxicity in patients with non-GCB DLBCL.
RESUMEN
An unmet need exists for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) and high-risk disease features, such as progression of disease within 24 months (POD24) from first-line immunochemotherapy or disease refractory to both CD20-targeting agent and alkylator (double refractory), due to no established standard of care and poor outcomes. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is an option in R/R FL after two or more lines of prior systemic therapy, but there is no consensus on its optimal timing in the disease course of FL, and there are no data in second-line (2L) treatment of patients with high-risk features. Lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) is an autologous, CD19-directed, 4-1BB CAR T cell product. The phase 2 TRANSCEND FL study evaluated liso-cel in patients with R/R FL, including 2L patients who all had POD24 from diagnosis after treatment with anti-CD20 antibody and alkylator ≤6 months of FL diagnosis and/or met modified Groupe d'Etude des Lymphomes Folliculaires criteria. Primary/key secondary endpoints were independent review committee-assessed overall response rate (ORR)/complete response (CR) rate. At data cutoff, 130 patients had received liso-cel (median follow-up, 18.9 months). Primary/key secondary endpoints were met. In third-line or later FL (n = 101), ORR was 97% (95% confidence interval (CI): 91.6â99.4), and CR rate was 94% (95% CI: 87.5â97.8). In 2L FL (n = 23), ORR was 96% (95% CI: 78.1â99.9); all responders achieved CR. Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 58% of patients (grade ≥3, 1%); neurological events occurred in 15% of patients (grade ≥3, 2%). Liso-cel demonstrated efficacy and safety in patients with R/R FL, including high-risk 2L FL. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04245839 .

Background: Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma worldwide. DLBCL is an aggressive disease that can be cured with upfront standard chemoimmunotherapy schedules. However, in approximately 35-40% of the patients DLBCL relapses, and therefore, especially in this setting, the search for new prognostic and predictive biomarkers is an urgent need. Natural killer (NK) are effector cells characterized by playing an important role in antitumor immunity due to their cytotoxic capacity and a subset of circulating NK that express CD8 have a higher cytotoxic function. In this substudy of the R2-GDP-GOTEL trial, we have evaluated blood CD8+ NK cells as a predictor of treatment response and survival in relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL patients. Methods: 78 patients received the R2-GDP schedule in the phase II trial. Blood samples were analyzed by flow cytometry. Statistical analyses were carried out in order to identify the prognostic potential of CD8+ NKs at baseline in R/R DLBCL patients. Results: Our results showed that the number of circulating CD8+ NKs in R/R DLBCL patients were lower than in healthy donors, and it did not change during and after treatment. Nevertheless, the level of blood CD8+ NKs at baseline was associated with complete responses in patients with R/R DLBCL. In addition, we also demonstrated that CD8+ NKs levels have potential prognostic value in terms of overall survival in R/R DLBCL patients. Conclusion: CD8+ NKs represent a new biomarker with prediction and prognosis potential to be considered in the clinical management of patients with R/R DLBCL.

BACKGROUND: An accurate assessment of tumor viability after first-line treatment is critical for predicting treatment failure in peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs). 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has been adopted as the preferred assessment method in clinical trials, but its impact in clinical practice should be examined. This study aims to determine the prognostic significance of18F-FDG-PET/CT for survival following first-line treatment in PTCL patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Retrospective observational study including 175 patients diagnosed with PTCL between 2008 and 2013 in 13 Spanish sites. RESULTS: Fifty patients were evaluated with18F-FDG-PET/CT following first-line therapy: 58% were18F-FDG-PET/CT-negative and 42% were18F-FDG-PET/CT-positive. Disease progression occurred in 37.9% of18F-FDG-PET/CT-negative patients and in 80.9% of18F-FDG-PET/CT-positive patients (p = 0.0037). Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 67 and 74 months for18F-FDG-PET/CT-negative patients, and 5 (p < 0.0001) and 10 months (p < 0.0001), respectively, in18F-FDG-PET/CT-positive patients. After multivariate analysis, only B symptoms emerged as a negative predictive factor of complete response (RR 7.08; 95% CI 1.60-31.31; p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: 18F-FDG-PET/CT identifies high-risk PTCL patients who will have poor prognosis and survival following first-line treatment. However, more research is needed to confirm the best treatment options for PTCL patients.

In the pre-chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy era, the SCHOLAR-1 study identified a group of patients with refractory aggressive B cell lymphoma (ABCL) with particularly poor prognoses. We recently published our real-world data from Spain, focused on this SCHOLAR-1 refractory group, and compared patients who underwent CAR-T therapy with the previous standard of care. In this study, we found that the efficacy of CAR-T therapy in refractory patients, in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), was superior to that of the treatments available in the pre-CAR-T era. The main objective of these new analyses was to analyze treatment efficacy in terms of response rates and survival for patients with ABCL with or without the SCHOLAR-1 criteria. In addition, we analyzed the prognostic impact of each SCHOLAR-1 criterion independently. Our study aimed to assess the prognostic impact of SCHOLAR-1 criteria on ABCL patients treated with CAR-T therapy in Spain. This multicenter, retrospective, observational study. We included all adult patients treated with commercially available CAR-T cell products and diagnosed with ABCL different from primary mediastinal large B cell lymphoma between February 2019 and July 2022. Patients meeting any SCHOLAR-1 criteria (progressive disease as the best response to any line of therapy, stable disease as the best response to ≥4 cycles of first-line therapy or ≥2 cycles of later-line therapy, or relapse at <12 months after autologous stem cell transplantation [auto-SCT]) in the line of treatment before CAR-T therapy (SCHOLAR-1 group) were compared with those not meeting any of these criteria (non-SCHOLAR-1 group). To analyze the prognostic impact of individual SCHOLAR-1 criteria, all the patients who met any of the SCHOLAR-1 criteria at any time were included to assess whether these criteria have the same prognostic impact in the CAR-T era. In addition, patients were grouped according to whether they were refractory to the first line of treatment, refractory to the last line of treatment, or relapsed early after auto-SCT. The PFS and OS were calculated from the time of appearance of the SCHOLAR-1 refractoriness criteria. Of 329 patients treated with CAR-T (169 with axi-cel and 160 with tisa-cel), 52 were in the non-SCHOLAR-1 group and 277 were in the SCHOLAR-1 group. We found significantly better outcomes in the non-SCHOLAR-1 patients compared with the SCHOLAR-1 patients (median PFS of 12.2 and 3.3 months, respectively; P = .009). In addition, axi-cel showed better results in terms of efficacy than tisa-cel for both the non-SCHOLAR-1 group (hazard ratio [HR] for PFS, 2.7 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.1 to 6.7; P = .028]; HR for OS, 7.1 [95% CI, 1.5 to 34.6; P = .015]) and SCHOLAR-1 group (HR for PFS, 1.8 [95% CI, 1.3 to 2.5; P < .001]; HR for OS, 1.8 [95% CI, 1.2 to 2.6; P = .002]), but also significantly more toxicity. Finally, separately analyzing the prognostic impact of each SCHOLAR-1 criterion revealed that refractoriness to the last line of treatment was the variable with the most significant impact on survival. In conclusion, SCHOLAR-1 refractoriness criteria notably influence the efficacy of CAR-T therapy. In our experience, axi-cel showed better efficacy than tisa-cel for both SCHOLAR-1 and non-SCHOLAR-1 patients. Refractoriness to the last line of treatment was the variable with the most significant impact on survival in the CAR-T therapy era.

PURPOSE: The combination of zanubrutinib plus obinutuzumab (ZO) was found to be well tolerated with an early signal of efficacy in a phase Ib study. ROSEWOOD is a phase II, randomized study that assessed the efficacy and safety of ZO versus obinutuzumab in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL). METHODS: Patients with R/R FL who had received ≥2 lines of therapy, including an anti-CD20 antibody and an alkylating agent, were randomly assigned 2:1 to receive ZO or obinutuzumab (O). The primary end point was overall response rate (ORR) by independent central review (ICR). Secondary end points included duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival, and safety. RESULTS: A total of 217 patients were randomized (ZO, 145; O, 72). Median study follow-up was 20.2 months. The study met its primary end point: ORR by ICR was 69% (ZO) versus 46% (O; P = .001). Complete response rate was 39% (ZO) versus 19% (O); 18-month DOR rate was 69% (ZO) versus 42% (O). Median PFS was 28.0 months (ZO) versus 10.4 months (O; hazard ratio, 0.50 [95% CI, 0.33 to 0.75]; P < .001). The most common adverse events with ZO were thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, diarrhea, and fatigue; incidences of atrial fibrillation and major hemorrhage were 3% and 1%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The combination of ZO met its primary end point of a superior ORR versus O, and demonstrated meaningful activity and a manageable safety profile in patients with R/R FL. ZO had a favorable benefit-risk profile compared with O, and represents a potential combination therapy for patients with R/R FL.

Nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) with a T follicular helper phenotype (PTCL-TFH) is a new type of PTCL. We aimed to define its clinical characteristics and prognosis compared to PTCL not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). This retrospective observational study included 175 patients diagnosed with PTCL between 2008 and 2013 in 13 Spanish sites. Patient diagnosis was centrally reviewed, and patients were reclassified according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2016 criteria: 21 patients as PTCL-NOS, 55 as AITL and 23 as PTCL-TFH. Median follow-up was 56.07 months (95% CI 38.7-73.4). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were significantly higher in patients with PTCL-TFH than in those with PTCL-NOS and AITL (PFS, 24.6 months vs. 4.6 and 7.8 months, respectively, p = 0.002; OS, 52.6 months vs. 10.0 and 19.3 months, respectively, p < 0.001). Histological diagnosis maintained an independent influence on both PFS (hazard ratio [HR] 4.1 vs. PTCL-NOS, p = 0.008; HR 2.6 vs. AITL, p = 0.047) and OS (HR 5.7 vs. PTCL-NOS, p = 0.004; HR 2.6 vs. AITL, p = 0.096), regardless of the International Prognostic Index. These results suggest that PTCL-TFH could have more favourable features and prognosis than the other PTCL subtypes, although larger series are needed to corroborate these findings.

BACKGOUND: In the workup of follicular lymphoma (FL), bone marrow biopsy (BMB) assessment is a key component of FLIPI and FLIPI2, the most widely used outcome scores. During the previous decade, several studies explored the role of FDG-PET/CT for detecting nodal and extranodal disease, with only one large study comparing both techniques. METHODS: The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and the prognostic impact of both procedures in a retrospective cohort of 299 FL patients with both tests performed at diagnosis. In order to avoid a collinearity bias, FLIPI2 was deconstructed in its founding parameters, and the bone marrow involvement (BMI) parameter separately included as: a positive BMB, a positive PET/CT, the combined "PET/CT and BMB positive" or "PET/CT or BMB positive". These variables were also confronted independently with the POD24 in 233 patients treated with intensive regimens. RESULTS: In the total cohort, bone marrow was involved in 124 and 60 patients by BMB and PET/CT, respectively. In terms of overall survival, age > 60 y.o. and the combined "PET/CT or BMB positive" achieved statistical independence as a prognostic factor. In patients treated with an intensive regimen, only the combined "PET/CT or BMB positive" added prognostic value for a shorter overall survival, when confronted with the POD24. CONCLUSION: Our results show that in FL both BMB and PET/CT should be considered at diagnosis, as their combined assessment provides independent prognostic value in the context of the most widely use clinical scores.

Real-world evidence comparing the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy against that of the previous standard of care (SOC) for refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) is scarce. We retrospectively collected data from patients with LBCL according to SCHOLAR-1 criteria treated with commercial CAR T-cell therapy in Spain (204 patients included and 192 treated, 101 with axicabtagene ciloleucel [axi-cel], and 91 with tisagenlecleucel [tisa-cel]) and compared the results with a historical refractory population of patients (n = 81) obtained from the GELTAMO-IPI study. We observed superior efficacy for CAR-T therapy (for both axi-cel and tisa-cel) over pSOC, with longer progression-free survival (PFS) (median of 5.6 vs. 4-6 months, p ≤ 0.001) and overall survival (OS) (median of 15 vs. 8 months, p < 0.001), independently of other prognostic factors (HR: 0.59 (95% CI: 0.44-0.80); p < 0.001] for PFS, and 0.45 [(95% CI: 0.31-0.64)] for OS). Within the CAR-T cohort, axi-cel showed longer PFS (median of 7.3 versus 2.8 months, respectively, p = 0.027) and OS (58% versus 42% at 12 months, respectively, p = 0.048) than tisa-cel. These differences were maintained in the multivariable analysis. On the other hand, axi-cel was independently associated with a higher risk of severe cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity. Our results suggest that the efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy is superior to pSOC in the real-world setting. Furthermore, axi-cel could be superior in efficacy to tisa-cel, although more toxic, in this group of refractory patients according to SCHOLAR-1 criteria.

Here, we report the first comparative analysis of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy vs standard-of-care (SOC) therapy in second-line relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL) from the pivotal randomized phase 3 ZUMA-7 study of axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) vs SOC. PRO instruments were administered at baseline, day 50, day 100, day 150, month 9, and every 3 months from randomization until 24 months or an event-free survival event. The quality of life (QoL) analysis set comprised patients with a baseline and ≥1 follow-up PRO completion. Prespecified hypotheses for Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) physical functioning, global health status/QoL, and EQ-5D-5L visual analog scale (VAS) were tested using mixed-effects models with repeated measures. Clinically meaningful changes were defined as 10 points for QLQ-C30 and 7 for EQ-5D-5L VAS. Among 359 patients, 296 (165 axi-cel, 131 SOC) met inclusion criteria for QoL analysis. At day 100, statistically significant and clinically meaningful differences in mean change of scores from baseline were observed favoring axi-cel over SOC for QLQ-C30 global health status/QoL (estimated difference 18.1 [95% confidence interval (CI), 12.3-23.9]), physical functioning (13.1 [95% CI, 8.0-18.2]), and EQ-5D-5L VAS (13.7 [95% CI, 8.5-18.8]; P < .0001 for all). At day 150, scores significantly favored axi-cel vs SOC for global health status/QoL (9.8 [95% CI, 2.6-17.0]; P = .0124) and EQ-5D-5L VAS (11.3 [95% CI, 5.4-17.1]; P = .0004). Axi-cel showed clinically meaningful improvements in QoL over SOC. Superior clinical outcomes and favorable patient experience with axi-cel should help inform treatment choices in second-line R/R LBCL. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03391466.

PURPOSE: New therapeutic options are needed in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL). Lenalidomide-based schedules can reverse rituximab refractoriness in lymphoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In the phase II R2-GDP trial, 78 patients unsuitable for autologous stem cell transplant received treatment with the following schedule: lenalidomide 10 mg Days (D)1-14, rituximab 375 mg/m2 D1, cisplatin 60 mg/m2 D1, gemcitabine 750 mg/m2 D1 and D8, and dexamethasone 20 mg D1-3, up to 6 cycles (induction phase), followed by lenalidomide 10 mg (or last lenalidomide dose received) D1-21 every 28 days (maintenance phase). Primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), safety, and monitorization of key circulating immune biomarkers (EU Clinical Trials Register number: EudraCT 2014-001620-29). RESULTS: After a median follow-up of 37 months, ORR was 60.2% [37.1% complete responses (CR) and 23.1% partial responses (PR)]. Median OS was 12 months (47 vs. 6 months in CR vs. no CR); median PFS was 9 months (34 vs. 5 months in CR vs. no CR). In the primary refractory population, ORR was 45.5% (21.2% CR and 24.3% PR). Most common grade 3-4 adverse events were thrombocytopenia (60.2%), neutropenia (60.2%), anemia (26.9%), infections (15.3%), and febrile neutropenia (14.1%). Complete responses were associated with a sharp decrease in circulating myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cells. CONCLUSIONS: R2-GDP schedule is feasible and highly active in R/R DLBCL, including the primary refractory population. Immune biomarkers showed differences in responders versus progressors.

This open-label, multicenter, single-arm, phase 2 study assessed the safety and efficacy of blinatumomab consolidation therapy in adult patients with newly diagnosed, high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL; International Prognostic Index 3-5 and/or double-/triple-hit or double MYC/BCL-2 expressors) who achieved complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) following run-in with 6 cycles of R-chemotherapy (NCT03023878). Of the 47 patients enrolled, 28 received blinatumomab. Five patients (17.9%) experienced grade 4 treatment-emergent adverse events of interest (neutropenia, n = 4; infection, n = 1). Two deaths reported at the end of the study were unrelated to treatment with blinatumomab (disease progression, n = 1; infection, n = 1). 3/4 patients with PR and 4/4 patients with SD after R-chemotherapy achieved CR following blinatumomab. Consolidation with blinatumomab in patients with newly diagnosed, high-risk DLBCL who did not progress under R-chemotherapy was better tolerated than in previous studies where blinatumomab was used for treatment of patients with lymphoma.

This retrospective study evaluated 66 patients diagnosed with relapsed and/or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (R/R MCL) treated with ibrutinib in Spain in routine clinical practice. At diagnosis, patients had a median age of 64.5 years, 63.6% presented with intermediate/high sMIPI (simplified prognostic index for advanced-stage mantle cell lymphoma), 24.5% had the blastoid variant, and 55.6% had a Ki67 > 30%. Patients had received a median of 2 prior lines of therapy (range 1-2; min-max 1-7). Overall response rate was 63.5%, with 38.1% of patients achieving complete response (CR). With a median duration of ibrutinib exposure of 10.7 months (range 5.2-19.6; min-max 0.3-36), the median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 20 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 8.8-31.1] and 32 months (95% CI 22.6-41.3), respectively, and were not reached in patients achieving CR. No grade ≥ 3 cardiovascular toxicity or bleeding was reported. This study supports that treatment with ibrutinib leads to high response rates and favorable survival outcomes in patients with R/R MCL.
