The standard of care for indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) is rituximab, an anti-CD20 antibody, with/without chemotherapy. However, multiple relapses are common in these patients. This phase 3, randomized study compared outcomes of a combination of ofatumumab (a second-generation anti-CD20 antibody) and bendamustine, with bendamustine alone in patients unresponsive to prior rituximab-based treatment. Overall, 346 patients were randomized to receive either the combination or bendamustine alone. Bendamustine was given for ≤8 cycles and ofatumumab for ≤12 cycles. The primary end-point was progression-free survival (PFS) after 215 protocol-defined events assessed by independent review committee (IRC). Median IRC-assessed PFS was 16·7 and 13·8 months in the combination and monotherapy arms respectively [hazard ratio (HR) = 0·82; P = 0·1390]. Median overall survival (OS) was 58·2 and 51·8 months in the combination and monotherapy arms respectively (HR = 0·89, P = 0·4968). The safety profile was consistent with previous reports. Overall, 73% and 80% of patients in the combination and monotherapy arms, respectively, experienced a ≥grade 3 adverse event. The study did not meet its primary end-point. No significant improvement in PFS and OS was seen with the combination of ofatumumab and bendamustine as compared with bendamustine alone in rituximab-refractory iNHL (NCT01077518).

Because of high relapse rates with rituximab combinations, there is an unmet need for new therapeutic agents for treatment of indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) or follicular lymphoma (FL). In previous trials, ofatumumab in combination with chemotherapy showed good results in relapsed/refractory FL pretreated with rituximab. This phase 3 trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of single-agent ofatumumab vs single-agent rituximab in rituximab-sensitive relapsed FL that relapsed at least 6 months after completing the last prior treatment with single-agent rituximab or a rituximab-containing regimen. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either ofatumumab (1000 mg) or rituximab (375 mg/m2) every week for 4 weeks for the induction phase, followed by once every 2 months for 4 additional doses. The primary endpoint, progression-free survival (PFS) and secondary endpoints, overall response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS), were evaluated. Overall, 438 patients were assigned to receive ofatumumab (n = 219) and rituximab (n = 219). Baseline characteristics were similar in both arms. The independent review committee assessed whether median PFS was shorter in the ofatumumab arm than in the rituximab arm (16.33 vs 21.29 months), with no significant difference (hazard ratio, 1.15; 95% confidence interval, 0.89-1.49; P = .29) and also showed a lower ORR (50%) compared with the rituximab arm (66%). At the time of analysis, data were not matured for OS results. The number of grade >3 adverse events was higher in the ofatumumab arm (37%) than the rituximab arm (28%). Ofatumumab showed no superiority over rituximab in patients with FL who had relapsed after a rituximab-containing therapy. This study was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01200589.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties and safety of single and multiple doses of subcutaneous (SC) pasireotide and a single-dose intramuscular (IM) long-acting release (LAR) formulation of pasireotide in Chinese healthy volunteers (HVs) versus the PK properties in Western HVs (pooled from previous PK studies). METHODS: In this phase I, single-center, open-label study, 45 Chinese male HVs were evenly randomized to 1 to 9 treatment sequences: each volunteer received a single dose of 300, 600, or 900 µg of pasireotide SC on day 1, followed by administration of the same dose BID from day 15 to the morning of day 19, and then a single IM dose of 20, 40, or 60 mg of pasireotide LAR on day 33. The PK parameters were assessed with noncompartmental analysis. Statistical comparison of PK parameters, including AUC, Cmax, and CL/F from both formulations, was made for Chinese versus Western male HVs. The safety profile was also assessed. Metabolic parameters, including blood glucose, insulin, and glucagon, and measures that reflect the effects of pasireotide LAR on relatively long-term glucose control, lipid metabolism, and systemic concentrations of pancreatic enzymes and thyrotropin were evaluated. FINDINGS: Of the 45 randomized HVs, 42 completed the study per protocol, 1 withdrew his informed consent for personal reasons, and 2 prematurely discontinued the study because of adverse events (AEs). Concentration-time and safety profiles of both formulations were similar to those reported in Western HVs. Mean geometric mean ratios (GMRs) of Chinese versus Western HVs ranged from 0.79 to 1.42. For most primary PK parameters, 90% CIs for GMRs were within a predefined ethnic insensitivity interval (90% CI, 0.70-1.43). After considering age and weight as covariates in the statistical model, the GMRs and 90% CIs for other PK parameters were within the predefined interval (Cmax in single-dose SC administration) or significantly decreased (Cmin,ss in multiple BID SC doses and first peak Cmax in the single-dose LAR formulation). No serious AEs were reported. Both formulations were well tolerated; pasireotide SC caused transient changes in glucose metabolism. Owing to the differential binding affinity to the somatostatin receptor subtypes, pasireotide LAR elicited a concentration-dependent increase of fasting blood glucose, substantial reduction in triglyceride, and a mild decrease in cholesterol. The most frequently reported AEs after single-dose and multiple-dose pasireotide SC were injection site reaction, nausea, dizziness, and diarrhea; most HVs developed diarrhea with single-dose pasireotide LAR. IMPLICATIONS: The pasireotide formulations had similar PK and safety profiles between Chinese and Western male HVs. Thus, no ethnic sensitivity was found for pasireotide SC or LAR.

Pasireotide (SOM230), a multireceptor-targeted somatostatin analogue, has exhibited favorable safety/tolerability in several clinical studies. A long-acting-release (LAR) formulation of pasireotide may offer advantages over the subcutaneous formulation. This randomized, open-label, Phase I study evaluated the safety, PK, and PD of pasireotide LAR 20, 40, or 60 mg/month in patients with acromegaly. Safety assessments and blood samples for PK and PD were taken at designated time points. Thirty-five patients were randomized and completed the study. Steady-state pasireotide concentrations were achieved following three monthly injections. Trough pasireotide concentrations (ng/mL) 28 days after each injection were: 2.48, 4.16, and 3.10 (20 mg group); 6.42, 6.62, and 7.12 (40 mg group); and 9.51, 11.7, and 13.0 (60 mg group). At study end, 51% and 57% of patients achieved GH levels ≤2.5 µg/L and IGF-1 levels below ULN, respectively. Compared with baseline, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels increased, whereas fasting blood insulin levels decreased. Acromegaly symptoms were generally improved. Adverse events were mostly gastrointestinal and mild/moderate. Pasireotide LAR was generally well tolerated. Steady-state PK was achieved after three monthly doses; exposures were approximately dose proportional. Control of GH, IGF-1, and symptoms improved, suggesting that pasireotide LAR may be an effective treatment for acromegaly.

BACKGROUND: Pasireotide is a multireceptor-targeted somatostatin analogue with high binding affinity for somatostatin receptor subtypes SST 1, 2, 3, and 5. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety profile, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of pasireotide in single- and divided-dose regimens in healthy volunteers. METHODS: A single-center, open-label, ascending-dose study was performed in healthy volunteers. Pasireotide, 900, 1200, and 1500 µg SC, was administered as either a single dose or as two divided doses given 12 hours apart, with a 7-day washout period between treatments. RESULTS: Seventeen men (median age, 26 years) were enrolled. Their median weight was 81 kg, and 65% were white. One participant dropped out because of a grade 2 adverse event; most other adverse events were mild and affected the gastrointestinal tract. Blood glucose concentration increased after pasireotide administration, but returned to normal within 10 hours. After single-dose administration, pasireotide plasma concentration peaked rapidly at 15 minutes to 1 hour after dosing, followed by a tri-exponential (α, ß, and γ phases) decline over time. Mean t(½) values during the α, ß, and γ phases were approximately 2 to 3, 12 to 17, and 54 to 97 hours, respectively. In the single-dose cohort, the mean (SD) AUC(∞) was 110 (29), 149 (42), and 188 (52) h · ng/mL in the 900-, 1200-, and 1500-µg groups, respectively. Time to reach C(max) was 0.69 (0.41), 0.59 (0.38), and 0.56 (0.18) hours in the 900-, 1200-, and 1500-µg groups, respectively. AUC(∞) values were similar in the single-dose and divided-dose cohorts. Mean total body clearance was 8 to 9 L/h across the dosage groups and dosing regimens, indicating a linear pharmacokinetic profile between doses. CONCLUSIONS: When administered as a single- or divided-dose regimen, pasireotide had a favorable tolerability profile in this selected group of healthy male volunteers. Its pharmacokinetic profile indicated rapid absorption, low clearance, high volume of distribution, and a long terminal half-life.

UNLABELLED: The kidneys are critical organs in peptide receptor radiation therapy (PRRT). Renal function loss may become apparent many years after PRRT. We analyzed the time course of decline in creatinine clearance (CLR) in patients during a follow-up of at least 18 mo after the start of PRRT with (90)Y-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N'',N'''-tetraacetic acid (DOTA),Tyr(3)-octreotide ((90)Y-DOTATOC) or (177)Lu-DOTA(0),Tyr(3)-octreotate ((177)Lu-DOTATATE). METHODS: Twenty-eight patients with metastasized neuroendocrine tumors received 1-5 cycles of (90)Y-DOTATOC, leading to renal radiation doses of 5.9-26.9 Gy per cycle and a total of 18.3-38.7 Gy. Median follow-up was 2.9 y (range, 1.5-5.4 y), with a median of 16 measurements (range, 5-53) per patient. Thirty-seven patients with metastasized neuroendocrine tumors received 3-7 cycles of (177)Lu-DOTATATE, leading to renal radiation doses of 1.8-7.8 Gy per cycle and a total of 7.3-26.7 Gy. Median follow-up was 2.4 y (range, 1.7-4.0 y), with a median of 10 (range, 6-27) measurements per patient. All renal dose estimates were calculated with the MIRDOSE3 model. All patients were infused with renoprotective amino acids during the administration of the radioactive peptides. The time trend of CLR was determined by fitting a monoexponential function through the data of individual patients, yielding the decline in CLR in terms of percentage change per year. RESULTS: The median decline in CLR was 7.3% per y in patients treated with (90)Y-DOTATOC and 3.8% per y in patients treated with (177)Lu-DOTATATE (P = 0.06). The time trend of decline in CLR was sustained during the follow-up period. Eleven patients had a >15% per y decline in CLR. Cumulative renal radiation dose, per-cycle renal radiation dose, age, hypertension, and diabetes are probable contributing factors to the rate of decline in CLR after PRRT. CONCLUSION: This study showed that the time course of CLR after PRRT was compatible with the pattern of sustained CLR loss in progressive chronic kidney disease.
