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.

BACKGROUND: Activating mutations of EZH2, an epigenetic regulator, are present in approximately 20% of patients with follicular lymphoma. We investigated the activity and safety of tazemetostat, a first-in-class, oral EZH2 inhibitor, in patients with follicular lymphoma. METHODS: This study was an open-label, single-arm, phase 2 trial done at 38 clinics or hospitals in France, the UK, Australia, Canada, Poland, Italy, Ukraine, Germany, and the USA. Eligible patients were adults (≥18 years) with histologically confirmed follicular lymphoma (grade 1, 2, 3a, or 3b) that had relapsed or was refractory to two or more systemic therapies, had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, and had sufficient tumour tissue for central testing of EZH2 mutation status. Patients were categorised by EZH2 status: mutant (EZH2mut) or wild-type (EZH2WT). Patients received 800 mg of tazemetostat orally twice per day in continuous 28-day cycles. The primary endpoint was objective response rate based on the 2007 International Working Group criteria for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, assessed by an independent radiology committee. Activity and safety analyses were done in patients who received one dose or more of tazemetostat. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01897571, and follow-up is ongoing. FINDINGS: Between July 9, 2015, and May 24, 2019, 99 patients (45 in the EZH2mut cohort and 54 in the EZH2WT cohort) were enrolled in the study. At data cutoff for the analysis (Aug 9, 2019), the median follow-up was 22·0 months (IQR 12·0-26·7) for the EZH2mut cohort and 35·9 months (24·9-40·5) for the EZH2WT cohort. The objective response rate was 69% (95% CI 53-82; 31 of 45 patients) in the EZH2mut cohort and 35% (23-49; 19 of 54 patients) in the EZH2WT cohort. Median duration of response was 10·9 months (95% CI 7·2-not estimable [NE]) in the EZH2mut cohort and 13·0 months (5·6-NE) in the EZH2WT cohort; median progression-free survival was 13·8 months (10·7-22·0) and 11·1 months (3·7-14·6). Among all 99 patients, treatment-related grade 3 or worse adverse events included thrombocytopenia (three [3%]), neutropenia (three [3%]), and anaemia (two [2%]). Serious treatment-related adverse events were reported in four (4%) of 99 patients. There were no treatment-related deaths. INTERPRETATION: Tazemetostat monotherapy showed clinically meaningful, durable responses and was generally well tolerated in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma. Tazemetostat is a novel treatment for patients with follicular lymphoma. FUNDING: Epizyme.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Genomic profiling platforms provide unprecedented genetic information of lymphoma biology, yet information has yet to be readily integrated into clinical medicine. This review summarizes the important concepts of utilizing genomics to aide disease management. RECENT FINDINGS: A wide range of clinical grade genetic sequencing platforms are available, therefore the selection of sequencing platform should ideally be based on biological and clinical questions, as well as the strength and weaknesses of individual platform. Different evidence-based guidelines exist to aide clinical judgment; however, few have well curated, easy to search platforms. Using one guideline proposed by several regulatory groups, our review summarizes genetic alterations with diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic potential in the major subtypes of lymphoma. SUMMARY: A comprehensive database of genetic alterations that contribute to clinical care in lymphoma is needed. Ideally, a database which accounts for single and pathway-based genetic alterations may be developed to guide development and interventions for management of lymphoma.

Classical Hodgkin lymphoma treatment is evolving rapidly with high response rates from antibody-drug conjugates targeting CD30 and immune checkpoint antibodies. However, most patients do not achieve a complete response, therefore development of novel therapies is warranted to improve patient outcomes. In this phase II study, patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma were treated with entinostat, an isoform selective histone deacetylase inhibitor. Forty-nine patients were enrolled: 33 patients on Schedule A (10 or 15 mg oral entinostat once every other week); 16 patients on Schedule B (15 mg oral entinostat once weekly in 3 of 4 weeks). Patients received a median of 3 prior treatments (range 1-10), with 80% of the patients receiving a prior stem cell transplant and 8% of patients receiving prior brentuximab vedotin. In the intention-to-treat analysis, the overall response rate was 12% while the disease control rate (complete response, partial response, and stable disease beyond 6 months) was 24%. Seven patients did not complete the first cycle due to progression of disease. Tumor reduction was observed in 24 of 38 (58%) evaluable patients. Median progression-free survival and overall survival was 5.5 and 25.1 months, respectively. The most frequent grade 3 or 4 adverse events were thrombocytopenia (63%), anemia (47%), neutropenia (41%), leukopenia (10%), hypokalemia (8%), and hypophosphatemia (6%). Twenty-five (51%) patients required dose reductions or delays. Pericarditis/pericardial effusion occurred in one patient after 12 cycles of therapy. Future studies are warranted to identify predictive biomarkers for treatment response and to develop mechanism-based combination strategies. (clinicaltrials.gov identifier: 00866333).

Relapsed/refractory aggressive large B cell lymphoma (LBCL) remains an area of unmet need. Here we report the primary analysis of a phase 1b/2 trial of outpatient mosunetuzumab (a CD20xCD3 T-cell-engaging bispecific antibody) plus polatuzumab vedotin (an anti-CD79B antibody-drug conjugate) in relapsed/refractory LBCL. The phase 2 component is a single arm of an ongoing multi-arm trial. The primary endpoint during dose expansion was independent review committee (IRC)-assessed best overall response rate. Secondary endpoints included investigator-assessed overall response rate, complete response, duration of response, progression-free survival and overall survival. At data cutoff, 120 patients were enrolled (22 dose escalation, 98 dose expansion). The primary endpoint was met during dose expansion, with IRC-assessed best overall response rate and complete response rates of 59.2% (58/98; 95% confidence interval (CI): 48.8-69.0) and 45.9% (45/98; 95% CI: 35.8-56.3), respectively (median follow-up, 23.9 months). Median duration of complete was not reached (95% CI: 20.5-not estimable (NE)). Median progression-free survival was 11.4 months (95% CI: 6.2-18.7). Median overall survival was 23.3 months (95% CI: 14.8-NE). Across dose escalation and expansion, the most common grade 3 or higher adverse events were neutropenia (25.0%, 30/120) and fatigue (6.7%, 8/120). Any-grade cytokine release syndrome occurred in 16.7% of patients. These data demonstrate that mosunetuzumab plus polatuzumab vedotin has a favorable safety profile with highly durable responses suitable as second-line therapy in transplant-ineligible relapsed/refractory LBCL.

Recent prospective clinical trial data suggest that patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma who continue treatment with ABVD, despite failing to attain a complete metabolic response on interim PET (PET2+), may fare better than previously published. We describe the outcomes of PET2+ patients who continued ABVD and compare the performance of a quantitative measure based on the lesion-to-liver SUV ratio (LLS qPET2+) to that of the subjective Deauville criteria (dvPET2+). We analyzed all patients with newly diagnosed advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma treated with frontline ABVD at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center between 2008 and 2017. Eligibility was set to correspond with the RATHL inclusion criteria. Images were reviewed by two nuclear medicine physicians and discordant cases were resolved with a third expert in consensus. qPET2+ was defined as LLS ≥ 1.3. We identified 227 patients of whom 25% (57) were qPET2+, but only 14% (31) were dvPET2+. Forty-eight patients (84%) continued ABVD with a 3-year PFS of 70% for qPET2+ and 64% for dvPET2+. In conclusion, interim PET interpretation in clinical practice may be associated with a higher rate of scans deemed positive. Irrespective of the criteria for PET2 positivity, a subset of patients may continue ABVD without a dismal outcome.
RESUMO
Persistence or recurrence of large B-cell lymphoma after CD19-CAR-T is common, yet data guiding management are limited. We describe outcomes and features following CAR-T treatment failure. Of 305 adults who received CD19-CAR-T, 182 experienced disease recurrence or progression (1-year cumulative incidence 63% [95%CI: 57-69]). Of 52 post-CAR-T biopsies evaluated by flow cytometry, 49 (94%) expressed CD19. Subsequent anti-cancer treatment was administered in 135/182 (74%) patients with CAR-T treatment failure. Median OS from the first post-CAR-T treatment was 8 months (95%CI 5.6-11.0). Polatuzumab-, standard chemotherapy-, and lenalidomide-based treatments were the most common approaches after CAR-T. No complete responses (CRs) were observed with conventional chemotherapy, while CR rates exceeding 30% were seen following polatuzumab- or lenalidomide-based therapies. Factors associated with poor OS among patients treated post-CAR-T were pre-CAR-T bulky disease (HR 2.27 [1.10-4.72]), lack of response to CAR-T (2.33 [1.02-5.29]), age >65 years (HR 2.65 [1.49-4.73]) and elevated LDH at post-CAR-T treatment (HR 2.95 [1.61-5.38]). The presence of ≥2 of these factors was associated with inferior OS compared to ≤1 (56% vs. 19%). In this largest analysis to date of patients who progressed or relapsed after CD19-CAR-T, survival is poor, though novel agents such as polatuzumab and lenalidomide may have hold promise.

Genomic profiling of hematologic malignancies has augmented our understanding of variants that contribute to disease pathogenesis and supported development of prognostic models that inform disease management in the clinic. Tumor only sequencing assays are limited in their ability to identify definitive somatic variants, which can lead to ambiguity in clinical reporting and patient management. Here, we describe the MSK-IMPACT Heme cohort, a comprehensive data set of somatic alterations from paired tumor and normal DNA using a hybridization capture-based next generation sequencing platform. We highlight patterns of mutations, copy number alterations, and mutation signatures in a broad set of myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms. We also demonstrate the power of appropriate matching to make definitive somatic calls, including in patients who have undergone allogeneic stem cell transplant. We expect that this resource will further spur research into the pathobiology and clinical utility of clinical sequencing for patients with hematologic neoplasms.

Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is an epigenetic regulator that controls the normal biology of germinal B cells. Overexpression or mutation of EZH2 is associated with malignant transformation in a number of B-cell malignancies; thus, EZH2 inhibitors are an attractive therapeutic option for these targets. Several EZH2 inhibitors have entered clinical trials, but there remains an important question as to how EZH2 inhibitor mechanism of action differs in patients with mutant and wild-type EZH2. This review discusses the EZH2-driven mechanisms that lead to the development of B-cell lymphomas and act as therapeutic targets. Another key area of investigation is whether EZH2 inhibitors will work synergistically with existing immunomodulatory drugs and chemotherapy regimens. In summary, EZH2 inhibitors show potential as treatment for a range of B-cell lymphomas, and numerous clinical evaluations are currently underway.

PURPOSE: Activation of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) represent parallel, synergistic pathways in lymphoma pathogenesis. As predominant PI3Kδ inhibition is a possible mechanism of tumor escape, we proposed a clinical trial of dual BTK and pan-PI3K inhibition. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a single-center phase I/Ib trial combining a BTK inhibitor (ibrutinib) and a pan-PI3K inhibitor (buparlisib) in 37 patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell lymphoma. Buparlisib and ibrutinib were administered orally, once daily in 28-day cycles until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The clinical trial is registered with clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02756247. RESULTS: Patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) receiving the combination had a 94% overall response rate (ORR) and 33-month median progression-free survival; ORR of 31% and 20% were observed in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma, respectively. The maximum tolerated dose was ibrutinib 560 mg plus buparlisib 100 mg and the recommended phase II dose was ibrutinib 560 mg plus buparlisib 80 mg. The most common grade 3 adverse events were rash/pruritis/dermatitis (19%), diarrhea (11%), hyperglycemia (11%), and hypertension (11%). All grade mood disturbances ranging from anxiety, depression, to agitation were observed in 22% of patients. Results from serial monitoring of cell-free DNA samples corresponded to radiographic resolution of disease and tracked the emergence of mutations known to promote BTK inhibitor resistance. CONCLUSIONS: BTK and pan-PI3K inhibition in mantle cell lymphoma demonstrates a promising efficacy signal. Addition of BCL2 inhibitors to a BTK and pan-PI3K combination remain suitable for further development in mantle cell lymphoma.

To identify drivers of sensitivity and resistance to Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) inhibition, we perform a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen. We identify TP53 and RNA-binding protein MUSASHI2 (MSI2) as the top-ranked sensitizer and driver of resistance to specific PRMT5i, GSK-591, respectively. TP53 deletion and TP53R248W mutation are biomarkers of resistance to GSK-591. PRMT5 expression correlates with MSI2 expression in lymphoma patients. MSI2 depletion and pharmacological inhibition using Ro 08-2750 (Ro) both synergize with GSK-591 to reduce cell growth. Ro reduces MSI2 binding to its global targets and dual treatment of Ro and PRMT5 inhibitors result in synergistic gene expression changes including cell cycle, P53 and MYC signatures. Dual MSI2 and PRMT5 inhibition further blocks c-MYC and BCL-2 translation. BCL-2 depletion or inhibition with venetoclax synergizes with a PRMT5 inhibitor by inducing reduced cell growth and apoptosis. Thus, we propose a therapeutic strategy in lymphoma that combines PRMT5 with MSI2 or BCL-2 inhibition.

Vitamin D insufficiency is a potentially modifiable risk factor for poor outcomes in newly diagnosed large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). However, the role of circulating vitamin D concentrations in relapsed/refractory LBCL treated with CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) is currently unknown. This was a single-center, observational study that evaluated the association of pre-CAR-T 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) status with 100-day complete response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and CAR-T-related toxicity in 111 adult relapsed/refractory LBCL patients. Vitamin D insufficiency was defined as ≤30 ng/mL in accordance with the Endocrine Society guidelines. The median pre-CAR-T 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration was 24 ng/mL (interquarile range = 18-34). Vitamin D-insufficient patients (≤30 ng/mL; n = 73 [66%]) were significantly younger than their vitamin D-replete (>30 ng/mL; n = 38 [34%]) counterparts (P= .039). The vitamin D-insufficient cohort was enriched for de novo LBCL as the histological subtype (P= .026) and had a higher proportion of tisagenlecleucel as the CAR-T product (P= .049). There were no other significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the two groups. In vitamin D-insufficient compared to -replete patients, 100-day complete response was 55% versus 76% (P= .029), and 2-year overall survival was 41% versus 71% (P= .061), respectively. In multivariate analysis, vitamin D insufficiency remained significantly associated with 100-day complete response (odds ratio 2.58 [1.05-6.83]; P= .045) and overall survival (hazard ratio 2.24 [1.08-4.66], P= .030). In recipients of tisagenlecleucel, vitamin D insufficiency was associated with significantly lower cell viability of the infused CAR-T product (P= .015). Finally, pretreatment vitamin D insufficiency did not predict for subsequent CAR-T-related toxicity. This is the first report to demonstrate that vitamin D insufficiency is associated with inferior clinical outcomes in CAR-T recipients. Further study into the mechanistic insights of this finding, and the potential role of vitamin D supplementation to optimize CAR-T are warranted.

PURPOSE: Tumor-intrinsic features may render large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) insensitive to CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T). We hypothesized that TP53 genomic alterations are detrimental to response outcomes in LBCL treated with CD19-CAR-T. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with LBCL treated with CD19-CAR-T were included. Targeted next-generation sequencing was performed on pre-CAR-T tumor samples in a subset of patients. Response and survival rates by histologic, cytogenetic, and molecular features were assessed. Within a cohort of newly diagnosed LBCL with genomic and transcriptomic profiling, we studied interactions between cellular pathways and TP53 status. RESULTS: We included 153 adults with relapsed or refractory LBCL treated with CD19-CAR-T (axicabtagene ciloleucel [50%], tisagenlecleucel [32%], and lisocabtagene maraleucel [18%]). Outcomes echoed pivotal trials: complete response (CR) rate 54%, median overall survival (OS) 21.1 months (95% CI, 14.8 to not reached), and progression-free survival 6 months (3.4 to 9.7). Histologic and cytogenetic LBCL features were not predictive of CR. In a subset of 82 patients with next-generation sequencing profiling, CR and OS rates were comparable with the unsequenced cohort. TP53 alterations (mutations and/or copy number alterations) were common (37%) and associated with inferior CR and OS rates in univariable and multivariable regression models; the 1-year OS in TP53-altered LBCL was 44% (95% CI, 29 to 67) versus 76% (65 to 89) in wild-type (P = .012). Transcriptomic profiling from a separate cohort of patients with newly diagnosed lymphoma (n = 562) demonstrated that TP53 alterations are associated with dysregulation of pathways related to CAR-T-cell cytotoxicity, including interferon and death receptor signaling pathway and reduced CD8 T-cell tumor infiltration. CONCLUSION: TP53 is a potent tumor-intrinsic biomarker that can inform risk stratification and clinical trial design in patients with LBCL treated with CD19-CAR-T. The role of TP53 should be further validated in independent cohorts.

In follicular lymphoma (FL), detection of bone marrow (BM) involvement (BMI) by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) improves the accuracy of staging vs BM biopsy (BMB) alone. Our objective was to determine the diagnostic utility of PET for BMI FL and the prognostic value of BMI by PET (positive PET result [PET+]). Records of patients (2002-2016) with PET and BMB at the time of initial treatment were reviewed. BMI was identified by positive BMB result (BMB+) and/or unifocal or multifocal BM FDG uptake on blindly reviewed PET scans with no corresponding CT abnormality (PET+). Among 261 patients, BMI was diagnosed in 78 patients (29.9%) by PET+, in 81 patients (31.0%) by BMB+, and in 113 patients (43.3%) by either PET+ or BMB+. PET+ upstaged 24 patients to stage IV, including 10 from stages I or II to stage IV. Median duration of follow-up was 6.0 years (range, 0-16.6 years). In univariate analysis, a high Follicular Lymphoma International Prognosis Index (FLIPI) score, PET+, and BMB+ correlated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS; all P ≤ .03), and high FLIPI, PET+, and combined PET+ and BMB+ with shorter overall survival (OS; all P ≤ .01). In multivariate analysis, PET+ was the only independent predictor of PFS, whereas high FLIPI score and PET+ predicted OS (P ≤ .03). Combined PET and BMB identify BMI more accurately than either BMB or PET alone, but BMB rarely adds critical information. For patients initiating treatment of FL, identification of BMI by PET is predictive of PFS and OS.

Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome are the most notable toxicities of CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. In addition, CAR T-cell-mediated toxicities can involve any organ system, with varied impacts on outcomes, depending on patient factors and involved organs. We performed detailed analysis of organ-specific toxicities and their association with outcomes in 60 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with CD19 CAR T cells by assessing all toxicities in organ-based groups during the first year posttreatment. We observed 539 grade ≥2 and 289 grade ≥3 toxicities. Common grade ≥3 toxicities included hematological, metabolic, infectious, and neurological complications, with corresponding 1-year cumulative incidence of 57.7%, 54.8%, 35.4%, and 18.3%, respectively. Patients with impaired performance status had a higher risk of grade ≥3 metabolic complications, whereas elevated lactate dehydrogenase was associated with higher risks of grade ≥3 neurological and pulmonary toxicities. CRS was associated with higher incidence of grade ≥3 metabolic, pulmonary, and neurologic complications. The 1-year nonrelapse mortality and overall survival were 1.7% and 69%, respectively. Only grade ≥3 pulmonary toxicities were associated with an increased mortality risk. In summary, toxicity burdens after CD19 CAR T-cell therapy were high and varied by organ systems. Most toxicities were manageable and were rarely associated with mortality. Our study emphasizes the importance of toxicity assessment, which could serve as a benchmark for further research to reduce symptom burdens and improve tolerability in patients treated with CAR T cells.

Inhibition of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a breakthrough therapy for certain B cell lymphomas and B cell chronic lymphatic leukemia. Covalent BTK inhibitors (e.g., ibrutinib) bind to cysteine C481, and mutations of this residue confer clinical resistance. This has led to the development of noncovalent BTK inhibitors that do not require binding to cysteine C481. These new compounds are now entering clinical trials. In a systematic BTK mutagenesis screen, we identify residues that are critical for the activity of noncovalent inhibitors. These include a gatekeeper residue (T474) and mutations in the kinase domain. Strikingly, co-occurrence of gatekeeper and kinase domain lesions (L512M, E513G, F517L, L547P) in cis results in a 10- to 15-fold gain of BTK kinase activity and de novo transforming potential in vitro and in vivo. Computational BTK structure analyses reveal how these lesions disrupt an intramolecular mechanism that attenuates BTK activation. Our findings anticipate clinical resistance mechanisms to a new class of noncovalent BTK inhibitors and reveal intramolecular mechanisms that constrain BTK's transforming potential.
