ABSTRACT
Background:
A novel approach for molecular residual disease (MRD) detection and treatment monitoring is needed in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) to identify patients with a poor prognosis. We performed a retrospective evaluation of commercial ctDNA testing in patients with stage I-IV DLBCL to evaluate the prognostic and predictive role of tumor-informed ctDNA assessment.Methods:
A personalized and tumor-informed multiplex PCR assay (Signatera™ bespoke mPCR NGS assay) was used for ctDNA detection and quantification.Results:
In total, 50 patients (median age 59 years; median follow-up 12.68 months) were analyzed, of which 41 had pretreatment time points with ctDNA detected in 95% (39/41). Baseline ctDNA levels correlated with R-IPI scores and stage. ctDNA clearance during first-line therapy was predictive of improved therapy responses and outcomes (EFS, HR 6.5, 95% CI 1.9-22, p=0.003 and OS, HR 22, 95% CI 2.5-191, p=0.005). Furthermore, 48% (13/27) of patients cleared their ctDNA following the first cycle of treatment. Patients who cleared their ctDNA, irrespective of their R-IPI score, had superior outcomes compared to ctDNA-positive patients. ctDNA clearance outperformed other factors associated with EFS in multivariate analysis (HR 49.76, 95% CI1.1-2225.6, p=0.044). Finally, ctDNA clearance predicted complete response (CR)/no evidence of disease (NED) on average 97 days (range 0-14.7 months) ahead of imaging/biopsy.Conclusion:
ctDNA testing in patients with DLBCL is predictive of patient outcomes and may enable personalized surveillance, intervention, and/or trial options.
