RESUMO

The combination of rituximab and lenalidomide (R-len) stands as an established treatment for relapsed/refractory (R/R) indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL). However, the reproducibility of clinical trial results in routine clinical practice is unknown. To address this gap in knowledge, we reviewed our experience with patients diagnosed with R/R follicular lymphoma (FL) or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) treated with this combination. Eighty-four patients underwent treatment with R-len, 69 (82%) affected by FL and 15 (18%) by MZL. The median age at the time of treatment initiation was 65 years (range, 39-94), 38 patients (45%) had a pre-treatment FLIPI score of 3-5, 19 (23%) had a bulky disease, 29 (37%) had a lymphoma refractory to the last treatment line, while in 20 (24%) cases the disease was refractory to rituximab. The best overall response rate (ORR) was 82%, and 52% achieved a complete response (CR). The best CR rates for FL and MZL patients were 55% and 40%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 22 months, the median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 22 months (95% CI 19-36) and the 2-year overall survival (OS) was 83% (95% CI 74-93). The median duration of CR (DoCR) was 46 months (95% CI 22-NR). Factors associated with shorter PFS in multivariate analysis were bulky disease and rituximab refractoriness. The most common adverse events (AE) included hematologic toxicity, fatigue and gastrointestinal disorders, such as diarrhea and constipation. Neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were the most common severe toxicities (grade ≥3 in 25% and 4%, respectively). No new safety signals were reported. Real-life results of R-len in patients with R/R iNHL appear consistent with those reported in prospective studies, and further support its use as comparator arm in controlled clinical trials.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aimed to define genomic differences between perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PCA) and distal cholangiocarcinoma (DCA) and identify genomic determinants of survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Consecutive patients with ECA with tissue for targeted next-generation sequencing were analyzed, stratified by anatomic site (PCA/DCA), disease extent, and treatment. Associations between genomic alterations, clinicopathologic features, and outcomes were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards regression to compare survival. RESULTS: In total, 224 patients diagnosed between 2004 and 2022 (n = 127 PCA; n = 97 DCA) met inclusion criteria. The median survival was 29 months (43 after resection and 17 from diagnosis for unresectable disease). Compared with PCA, DCA was enriched in TP53alt (alterations; 69% v 33%; Q < 0.01), epigenetic pathway alterations (45% v 29%; Q = 0.041), and had more total altered pathways (median 3 v 2; Q < 0.01). KRASalt frequency was similar between PCA (36%) and DCA (37%); however, DCA was enriched in KRAS G12D (19% v 9%; P = .002). No other clinicopathologic or genomic variables distinguished subtypes. In resected patients, no genomic alterations were associated with outcome. However, in unresectable patients, CDKN2Aalt (hazard ratio [HR], 2.59 [1.48 to 4.52]) and APCalt (HR, 5.11 [1.96 to 13.3]) were associated with reduced survival. For the entire cohort, irresectability (HR, 3.13 [2.25 to 4.36]), CDKN2Aalt (HR, 1.80 [1.80 to 2.68]), and APCalt (HR, 2.00 [1.04 to 3.87]) were associated with poor survival. CONCLUSION: CDKN2Aalt and APCalt were associated with poor survival in ECA, primarily in advanced disease. As PCA and DCA were genetically similar, coanalysis of PCA and DCA in future genomic studies is reasonable.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHC) is a heterogeneous tumor. The hidden-genome classifier, a supervised machine learning-based algorithm, was used to quantify tumor heterogeneity and improve classification. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A retrospective review of 1,370 patients with IHC, extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHC), gallbladder cancer (GBC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or biphenotypic tumors was conducted. A hidden-genome model classified 527 IHC based on genetic similarity to EHC/GBC or HCC. Genetic, histologic, and clinical data were correlated. RESULTS: In this study, 410 IHC (78%) had >50% genetic homology with EHC/GBC; 122 (23%) had >90% homology ("biliary class"), characterized by alterations of KRAS, SMAD4, and CDKN2A loss; 117 IHC (22%) had >50% genetic homology with HCC; and 30 (5.7%) had >90% homology ("HCC class"), characterized by TERT alterations. Patients with biliary- versus non-biliary-class IHC had median overall survival (OS) of 1 year (95% CI, 0.77, 1.5) versus 1.8 years (95% CI, 1.6, 2.0) for unresectable disease and 2.4 years (95% CI, 2.1, NR) versus 5.1 years (95% CI, 4.8, 6.9) for resectable disease. Large-duct IHC (n = 28) was more common in the biliary class (n = 27); the HCC class was composed mostly of small-duct IHC (64%, P = 0.02). The hidden genomic classifier predicted OS independent of FGFR2 and IDH1 alterations. By contrast, the histology subtype did not predict OS. CONCLUSIONS: IHC genetics form a spectrum with worse OS for tumors genetically aligned with EHC/GBC. The classifier proved superior to histologic subtypes for predicting OS independent of FGFR2 and IDH1 alterations. These results may explain the differential treatment responses seen in IHC and may direct therapy by helping stratify patients in future clinical trials.

RESUMO

PI3K-δ inhibitors have shown impressive activity in lymphoid malignancies but have been hampered by autoimmune and infectious toxicities, leading to market withdrawals. We previously demonstrated activity of the PI3K-δγ inhibitor duvelisib in T cell lymphomas (TCLs) that was associated with inflammatory adverse events. As reported here, we conducted a phase 1b/2a study of duvelisib in combination with either romidepsin (n = 66) or bortezomib (n = 32) in patients with relapsed/refractory TCL and found that the addition of romidepsin, but not bortezomib, appeared to increase efficacy while attenuating PI3K inhibitor-driven toxicity. The primary endpoint of the study was to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose of duvelisib, which was 75 mg twice daily when combined with romidepsin versus 25 mg twice daily when combined with bortezomib. The most common adverse events were neutropenia (42%, 25/59) and fatigue (37%, 22/59) in patients treated with duvelisib and romidepsin and diarrhea (48%, 11/23) and neutropenia (30%, 7/23) in patients treated with duvelisib and bortezomib. Duvelisib and romidepsin resulted in less grade 3/4 hepatotoxicity (14%, 8/59) compared to 40% (14/35) in our previous study with duvelisib monotherapy. This was associated with reductions in circulating inflammatory mediators and myeloid cell inflammatory gene expression. Secondary endpoints of overall and complete response rates were 55% (35/64) and 34% (22/64) for patients treated with duvelisib and romidepsin and 34% (11/32) and 13% (4/32) for patients treated with duvelisib and bortezomib. Among patients with peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCLs), overall and complete response rates of duvelisib and romidepsin were 56% (27/48) and 44% (21/48), respectively, with exploratory analyses showing increased response rates in patients with a follicular helper T cell subtype. These findings support further development of combined PI3K and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition in TCLs and suggest a unique strategy to enable PI3K inhibitor-based combinations for additional patient populations.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Evidence is emerging that melanoma has distinct aetiologic pathways and subtypes, characterized by factors like anatomic site of the tumour. To explore genetic influences on anatomic subtypes, we examined the extent to which melanomas in first-degree relatives shared the same body site of occurrence. METHODS: Population-level linked data was used to identify the study population of over 1.5 million individuals born in Western Australia between 1945 and 2014, and their first-degree relatives. There were 1009 pairs of invasive tumours from 677 family pairs, each categorised by anatomic site. Greater than expected representation of site-concordant pairs would suggest the presence of genetic factors that predispose individuals to site-specific melanoma. RESULTS: Comparing observed versus expected totals, we observed a modest increase in site concordance for invasive head/neck and truncal tumours (P=0.02). A corresponding analysis including in situ tumours showed a similar concordance (P=0.05). No further evidence of concordance was observed when stratified by sex. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, modest evidence of aggregation was observed but with inconsistent patterns between sites. Results suggest that further investigation into the familial aggregation of melanoma by tumour site is warranted, with the inclusion of genetic data in order to disentangle the relative contributions of genetic and environmental factors.

RESUMO

Chemoimmunotherapy followed by consolidative high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell rescue was a standard upfront treatment for fit patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) in first remission; however, treatment paradigms are evolving in the era of novel therapies. Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory agent with known efficacy in treating MCL. We conducted a single-center, investigator-initiated, phase II study of immunochemotherapy incorporating lenalidomide, without autologous stem cell transplant consolidation, enriching for patients with high-risk MCL (clinicaltrials gov. Identifier: NCT02633137). Patients received four cycles of lenalidomide-R-CHOP, two cycles of R-HiDAC, and six cycles of R-lenalidomide. The primary endpoint was rate of 3-year progression-free survival. We measured measurable residual disease (MRD) using a next-generation sequencing-based assay after each phase of treatment and at 6 months following end-oftreatment. We enrolled 49 patients of which 47 were response evaluable. By intent-to-treat, rates of overall and complete response were equivalent at 88% (43/49), one patient with stable disease, and two patients had disease progression during study; 3-year progression-free survival was 63% (primary endpoint not met) and differed by TP53 status (78% wild-type vs. 38% ALT; P=0.043). MRD status was prognostic and predicted long-term outcomes following R-HiDAC and at 6 months following end-of-treatment. In a high-dose therapy-sparing, intensive approach, we achieved favorable outcomes in TP53- wild-type MCL, including high-risk cases. We confirmed that sequential MRD assessment is a powerful prognostic tool in patients with MCL.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We present the results of a post hoc tumor tissue analysis from the phase 3 MILO/ENGOT-ov11 study (NCT01849874). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Mutation/copy-number analysis was performed on tissue obtained pre-randomization. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate progression-free survival (PFS). Unbiased univariate analysis, Cox regression, and binary logistic regression were used to test associations between mutation status and outcomes, including PFS and binary response by local RECIST 1.1. RESULTS: MILO/ENGOT-ov11 enrolled 341 patients, ranging in age from 22 to 79, from June, 2013 to April, 2016. Patients were randomized 2:1 to binimetinib or physician's choice of chemotherapy (PCC). The most commonly altered gene was KRAS (33%). In 135 patients treated with binimetinib with response rate (RR) data, other detected MAPK pathway alterations included: NRAS (n = 11, 8.1%), BRAF V600E (n = 8, 5.9%), RAF1 (n = 2, 1.5%), and NF1 (n = 7, 5.2%). In those with and without MAPK pathway alterations, the RRs with binimetinib were 41% and 13%, respectively. PFS was significantly longer in patients with, compared with those without, MAPK pathway alterations treated with binimetinib [HR, 0.5; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.31-0.79]. There was a nonsignificant trend toward PFS improvement in PCC-treated patients with MAPK pathway alterations compared with those without (HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.43-1.59). CONCLUSIONS: Although this hypothesis-generating analysis is limited by multiple testing, higher RRs and longer PFS were seen in patients with low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC) treated with binimetinib, and to a lesser extent in those treated with PCC, who harbored MAPK pathway alterations. Somatic tumor testing should be routinely considered in patients with LGSOC and used as a future stratification factor.

RESUMO

Nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL) is a rare non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma that has historically been difficult to define, though is now formally recognized by the World Health Organization Classification. To better characterize the clinical outcomes of patients with NMZL, we reviewed a sequential cohort of 187 patients with NMZL to describe baseline characteristics, survival outcomes, and time-to-event data. Initial management strategies were classified into five categories: observation, radiation, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy, chemoimmunotherapy, or other. Baseline Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index scores were calculated to evaluate prognosis. A total of 187 patients were analyzed. The five-year overall survival was 91% (95% confidence interval [CI], 87-95), with a median follow-up time of 71 months (range, 8-253) among survivors. A total of 139 patients received active treatment at any point, with a median follow-up time of 56 months (range, 13-253) among survivors who were never treated. The probability of remaining untreated at five years was 25% (95% CI, 19-33). For those initially observed, the median time to active treatment was 72 months (95% CI, 49-not reached). For those who received at least one active treatment, the cumulative incidence of receiving a second active treatment at 60 months was 37%. Transformation to large B-cell lymphoma was rare, with a cumulative incidence of 15% at 10 years. In summary, our series is a large cohort of uniformly diagnosed NMZL with detailed analyses of survival and time to event analyses. We showed that NMZL commonly presents as an indolent lymphoma for which initial observation is often a reasonable strategy.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To describe the incidence of cardiotoxicity in patients with anthracycline exposure who subsequently receive EPOCH for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adults with anthracycline exposure who subsequently received EPOCH for NHL at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The primary outcome was cumulative incidence of arrhythmia, heart failure (HF), left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, or cardiac death. RESULTS: Among 140 patients, most had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Inclusive of EPOCH, median cumulative doxorubicin-equivalent dose was 364 mg/m2 ; exposure was 400 mg/m2 or higher in 41%. With median 36-month follow-up, 23 cardiac events were noted in 20 patients. Cumulative incidence of cardiac events at 60 months was 15% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 9%-21%). When limited to LV dysfunction/HF, cumulative incidence at 60 months was 7% (95% CI: 3%-13%), with most events occurring after the first year. Univariate analysis indicated only history of cardiac disease and dyslipidemia to be associated with cardiotoxicity; no other risk factors, including cumulative anthracycline dose, were identified. CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective cohort, representing the largest experience in this setting with extended follow-up, cumulative incidence of cardiac events was low. Rates of LV dysfunction or HF were particularly low, suggesting infusional administration may mitigate risk despite prior exposure.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is an uncommon and aggressive disease, which remains poorly defined at a molecular level. Here, we aimed to characterize the molecular landscape of GBC and identify markers with potential prognostic and therapeutic implications. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: GBC samples were analyzed using the MSK-IMPACT (Memorial Sloan Kettering-Integrated Mutation Profiling of Actionable Cancer Targets) platform (targeted NGS assay that analyzes 505 cancer-associated genes). Variants with therapeutic implications were identified using OncoKB database. The associations between recurrent genetic alterations and clinicopathologic characteristics (Fisher exact tests) or overall survival (univariate Cox regression) were evaluated. P values were adjusted for multiple testing. RESULTS: Overall, 244 samples (57% primary tumors and 43% metastases) from 233 patients were studied (85% adenocarcinomas, 10% carcinomas with squamous differentiation, and 5% neuroendocrine carcinomas). The most common oncogenic molecular alterations appeared in the cell cycle (TP53 63% and CDKN2A 21%) and RTK_RAS pathways (ERBB2 15% and KRAS 11%). No recurrent structural variants were identified. There were no differences in the molecular landscape of primary and metastasis samples. Variants in SMAD4 and STK11 independently associated with reduced survival in patients with metastatic disease. Alterations considered clinically actionable in GBC or other solid tumor types (e.g., NTRK1 fusions or oncogenic variants in ERBB2, PIK3CA, or BRCA1/2) were identified in 35% of patients; 18% of patients with metastatic disease were treated off-label or enrolled in a clinical trial based on molecular findings. CONCLUSIONS: GBC is a genetically diverse malignancy. This large-scale genomic analysis revealed alterations with potential prognostic and therapeutic implications and provides guidance for the development of targeted therapies.

RESUMO

This study evaluated ofatumumab (Ofa), an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, alone or with bendamustine (Benda), in transplant-ineligible patients with mantle cell lymphoma. Low-risk patients received Ofa monotherapy. Non-responders received subsequent treatment with Benda-Ofa. Six patients received Ofa monotherapy and 3 patients crossed over to Bend-Ofa. Twenty-four high-risk patients were initially treated with Benda-Ofa. The overall response rate for patients treated with Ofa monotherapy was 1/6 (17%) and 23/25 (92%) for patients treated with Benda-Ofa. With a median follow-up of 8.6 years, all Ofa patients progressed with a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 0.6 years (95% CI 0.31-NR) and remain alive. With a median follow-up of 6.3 years, Bend-Ofa treated patients had median PFS 2.5 years (95% CI 1.8-NR) and a median overall survival of 7.4 years (95% CI 5.8-NR). Benda-Ofa had a favorable adverse event profile and efficacy similar, but not clearly superior, to those reported for Benda-Rituximab.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The genetic factors that modulate risk for developing lung cancer have not been fully defined. Here, we sought to determine the prevalence and clinical significance of germline pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (PV) in patients with advanced lung cancer. METHODS: We studied clinical and tumor characteristics of germline PV in 5,118 patients who underwent prospective genomic profiling using paired tumor-normal tissue samples in 468 cancer genes. RESULTS: Germline PV in high/moderate-penetrance genes were observed in 222 (4.3%) patients; of these, 193 patients had PV in DNA damage repair (DDR) pathway genes including BRCA2 (n = 54), CHEK2 (n = 30), and ATM (n = 26) that showed high rate of biallelic inactivation in tumors. BRCA2 heterozygotes with lung adenocarcinoma were more likely to be never smokers and had improved survival compared with noncarriers. Fourteen patients with germline PV in lung cancer predisposing genes (TP53, EGFR, BAP1, and MEN1) were diagnosed at younger age compared with noncarriers, and of tumor suppressors, 75% demonstrated biallelic inactivation in tumors. A significantly higher proportion of germline PV in high/moderate-penetrance genes were detected in high-risk patients who had either a family history of any cancer, multiple primary tumors, or early age at diagnosis compared with unselected patients (10.5% vs. 4.1%; P = 1.7e-04). CONCLUSIONS: These data underscore the biological and clinical importance of germline mutations in highly penetrant DDR genes as a risk factor for lung cancer. IMPACT: The family members of lung cancer patients harboring PV in cancer predisposing genes should be referred for genetic counseling and may benefit from proactive surveillance.

RESUMO

The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is a central hub of cellular metabolism, oxidizing nutrients to generate reducing equivalents for energy production and critical metabolites for biosynthetic reactions. Despite the importance of the products of the TCA cycle for cell viability and proliferation, mammalian cells display diversity in TCA-cycle activity1,2. How this diversity is achieved, and whether it is critical for establishing cell fate, remains poorly understood. Here we identify a non-canonical TCA cycle that is required for changes in cell state. Genetic co-essentiality mapping revealed a cluster of genes that is sufficient to compose a biochemical alternative to the canonical TCA cycle, wherein mitochondrially derived citrate exported to the cytoplasm is metabolized by ATP citrate lyase, ultimately regenerating mitochondrial oxaloacetate to complete this non-canonical TCA cycle. Manipulating the expression of ATP citrate lyase or the canonical TCA-cycle enzyme aconitase 2 in mouse myoblasts and embryonic stem cells revealed that changes in the configuration of the TCA cycle accompany cell fate transitions. During exit from pluripotency, embryonic stem cells switch from canonical to non-canonical TCA-cycle metabolism. Accordingly, blocking the non-canonical TCA cycle prevents cells from exiting pluripotency. These results establish a context-dependent alternative to the traditional TCA cycle and reveal that appropriate TCA-cycle engagement is required for changes in cell state.

RESUMO

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) predominantly affects older adults with suboptimal therapeutic outcomes due to increased treatment-related mortality and toxicities in vulnerable patients, clinically defined by geriatric impairments such as functional limitation, multimorbidity, or cognitive deficits. In this prospective pilot study, we evaluated a rituximab/prednisone prephase treatment strategy in 33 older, vulnerable patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL, defined by either age ≥70 years or age 60-70 years with Karnofsky performance scale (KPS) <80. A single dose of rituximab 375 mg/m2 between 3-10 days and oral prednisone for at least 5 days prior to the first dose of chemoimmunotherapy was administered. All patients completed prephase treatment and all but one commenced anthracycline-based chemoimmunotherapy. Only one early cycle death occurred. Toxicity events, defined by either unplanned hospitalization, unplanned dose reduction/delay, or chemotherapy discontinuation, occurred in 22 patients (67%). Sixteen patients (48%) experienced grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicities and/or grade 4 or higher hematologic toxicities. With a median follow-up of 4.4 years, both 5-year progression-free survival and overall survival were at 81% (95% confidence interval: 69-96). Importantly, we found that phenotypic impairments in basic and instrumental activities of daily living, physical function, mobility, KPS, and Cancer and Aging Research Group chemotherapy toxicity risk score were significantly associated with senescence-associated, proinflammatory cytokine milieu which was readily reversed with prephase treatment, potentially explaining its clinical effectiveness. Prephase therapy with rituximab/prednisone should be considered for all older, vulnerable DLBCL patients prior to curative intent, anthracycline-based chemoimmunotherapy. This trial was registered as clinicaltrials gov. Identifier: NCT89028394.

RESUMO

Signaling through JAK1 and/or JAK2 is common among tumor and nontumor cells within peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). No oral therapies are approved for PTCL, and better treatments for relapsed/refractory disease are urgently needed. We conducted a phase 2 study of the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib for patients with relapsed/refractory PTCL (n = 45) or mycosis fungoides (MF) (n = 7). Patients enrolled onto 1 of 3 biomarker-defined cohorts: (1) activating JAK and/or STAT mutations, (2) ≥30% pSTAT3 expression among tumor cells by immunohistochemistry, or (3) neither or insufficient tissue to assess. Patients received ruxolitinib 20 mg PO twice daily until progression and were assessed for response after cycles 2 and 5 and every 3 cycles thereafter. The primary endpoint was clinical benefit rate (CBR), defined as the combination of complete response, partial response (PR), and stable disease lasting at least 6 months. Only 1 of 7 patients with MF had CBR (ongoing PR > 18 months). CBR among the PTCL cases (n = 45) in cohorts 1, 2, and 3 were 53%, 45%, and 13% (cohorts 1 & 2 vs 3, P = .02), respectively. Eight patients had CBR > 12 months (5 ongoing), including 4 of 5 patients with T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia. In an exploratory analysis using multiplex immunofluorescence, expression of phosphorylated S6, a marker of PI3 kinase or mitogen-activated protein kinase activation, in <25% of tumor cells was associated with response to ruxolitinib (P = .05). Our findings indicate that ruxolitinib is active across various PTCL subtypes and support a precision therapy approach to JAK/STAT inhibition in patients with PTCL. This trial was registered at www.clincialtrials.gov as #NCT02974647.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Part B of the modified Magrath regimen (IVAC) +/- rituximab (R) is recommended as standalone therapy by national guidelines for management of relapsed/refractory Burkitt lymphoma, and is used in other non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). Activity of IVAC in B-cell NHL, particularly with R, and its toxicity remain incompletely described. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We reviewed patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell NHL treated with IVAC +/- R between 2004 and 2019 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to assess efficacy and toxicity. RESULTS: Among 54 eligible patients (median 2 prior lines of therapy), 76% had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; 30% had central nervous system involvement at IVAC initiation. Objective response rate was 48%. At median 22-month follow-up, median progression-free and overall survival were 3.1 months and 4.9 months, respectively. Grade ≥ 3 anemia (93%), neutropenia (94%), and thrombocytopenia (100%; all grade 4) were common. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 65% and did not appear to be influenced by use of antimicrobial or granulocyte colony stimulating factor prophylaxis. Mortality was attributed to treatment in 19% of evaluable patients. CONCLUSION: The clinical efficacy and utility of IVAC +/- R remain unclear. However, its profound hematologic toxicity and life-threatening complications despite prophylactic measures warrant careful consideration of alternatives.

RESUMO

Intratumoral genetic heterogeneity (ITH) poses a significant challenge to utilizing sequencing for decision making in the management of cancer. Although sequencing of multiple tumor regions can address the pitfalls of ITH, it does so at a significant increase in cost and resource utilization. We propose a pooled multiregional sequencing strategy, whereby DNA aliquots from multiple tumor regions are mixed prior to sequencing, as a cost-effective strategy to boost translational value by addressing ITH while preserving valuable residual tissue for secondary analysis. Focusing on kidney cancer, we demonstrate that DNA pooling from as few as two regions significantly increases mutation detection while reducing clonality misattribution. This leads to an increased fraction of patients identified with therapeutically actionable mutations, improved patient risk stratification, and improved inference of evolutionary trajectories with an accuracy comparable to bona fide multiregional sequencing. The same approach applied to non-small-cell lung cancer data substantially improves tumor mutational burden (TMB) detection. Our findings demonstrate that pooled DNA sequencing strategies are a cost-effective alternative to address intrinsic genetic heterogeneity in clinical settings.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We conducted a phase II study evaluating pembrolizumab plus gemcitabine, vinorelbine, and liposomal doxorubicin (pembro-GVD) as second-line therapy for relapsed or refractory (rel/ref) classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03618550). METHODS: Transplant eligible patients with rel/ref cHL following first-line therapy were treated with two to four cycles of pembrolizumab (200 mg intravenous [IV], day 1), gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m2 IV, days 1 and 8), vinorelbine (20 mg/m2 IV, days 1 and 8), and liposomal doxorubicin (15 mg/m2, days 1 and 8), given on 21-day cycles. The primary end point was complete response (CR) following up to four cycles of pembro-GVD. Patients who achieved CR by labeled fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (Deauville ≤ 3) after two or four cycles proceeded to high-dose therapy and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HDT/AHCT). HDT/AHCT was carried out according to institutional standards, and brentuximab vedotin maintenance was allowed following HDT/AHCT. RESULTS: Of 39 patients enrolled, 41% had primary ref disease and 38% relapsed within 1 year of frontline treatment. 31 patients received two cycles of pembro-GVD, and eight received four cycles. Most adverse events were grade 1 or two, whereas few were grade 3 and included transaminitis (n = 4), neutropenia (n = 4), mucositis (n = 2), thyroiditis (n = 1), and rash (n = 1). Of 38 evaluable patients, overall and CR rates after pembro-GVD were 100% and 95%, respectively. Thirty-six (95%) patients proceeded to HDT/AHCT, two received pre-HDT/AHCT involved site radiation, and 13 (33%) received post-HDT/AHCT brentuximab vedotin maintenance. All 36 transplanted patients are in remission at a median post-transplant follow-up of 13.5 months (range: 2.66-27.06 months). CONCLUSION: Second-line therapy with pembro-GVD is a highly effective and well-tolerated regimen that can efficiently bridge patients with rel/ref cHL to HDT/AHCT.
