RESUMEN
Deregulation of histone deacetylase (HDAC) is important in the pathogenesis of follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Mocetinostat, an isotype-selective HDAC inhibitor, induces accumulation of acetylated histones, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in several cancers. This phase 2 study evaluated mocetinostat in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL and FL. Seventy-two patients received mocetinostat (starting doses: 70-110 mg TIW, 4-week cycles). The best overall response rate (95% CI) was 18·9% (7·2, 32·2) for the DLBCL cohort (n = 41), and 11·5% (1·7, 20·7) for the FL cohort (n = 31). Responses were durable (≥90 days in 7 of 10 responses). Overall, 54·1% and 73·1% of patients derived clinical benefit (response or stable disease) from mocetinostat in the DLBCL and FL cohorts, respectively. Progression-free survival ranged from 1·8 to 22·8 months and 11·8 to 26·3 months in responders with DLBCL and FL, respectively. The most frequent treatment-related adverse events were fatigue (75·0%), nausea (69·4%) and diarrhoea (61·1%). Although mocetinostat had limited single-agent activity in R/R DLBCL and FL, patients with clinical benefit had long-term disease control. The safety profile was acceptable. This drug class warrants further investigation, including identifying patients more likely to respond to this agent, or in combination with other agents.

BACKGROUND: We previously reported results of the phase III, randomized, noninferiority trial comparing bendamustine-rituximab (BR) with standard R-CHOP (rituximab/cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin/vincristine/prednisone)/R-CVP (rituximab/cyclophosphamide/vincristine/prednisone) in previously untreated advanced indolent non-Hodgkin and mantle cell lymphomas. Here we report health-related quality of life (HRQOL) results from the trial. METHODS: HRQOL, as measured by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), was a secondary end point. Differences between group means in global health status (GHS), 5-item functioning, and 9 symptoms/single-item measures at week 1 of cycle 1 and end-of- cycles 3 and 6 were examined using the screening (baseline) score as a covariate in analysis of covariance. RESULTS: Overall EORTC QLQ-C30 compliance was 75.2%, 89.5%, and 89.9% at week 1 of cycle 1 and end-of-cycles 3 and 6, respectively. Patients treated with BR reported improvements in Cognitive Functioning, Physical Functioning, Social Functioning, Emotional Functioning, and GHS as well as reduction in dyspnea, constipation, and fatigue at some, but not all, time points. Patients treated with standard therapy reported less nausea/vomiting at one time point. CONCLUSION: Compared with patients treated with standard therapy, patients treated with BR reported better quality of life in several areas.

PURPOSE: Bendamustine is used in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (first-line) and indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that progressed during/within 6 months of treatment with rituximab or a rituximab-containing regimen. This study was a postapproval commitment to investigate bendamustine's effect on cardiac repolarization in treatment-naïve adults with advanced indolent NHL/mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). METHODS: In this multicenter, open-label, phase 3 study, patients received 6-8 28-day cycles of bendamustine (90 mg/m(2), days 1 and 2) and rituximab (375 mg/m(2), day 1). Exclusions included a history of cardiac conditions with potential for QT prolongation. The primary endpoint was change in Fridericia-corrected QT (QTcF; 3 electrocardiograms per time point) on day 2 of cycle 1, from just before infusion to end of infusion (immediately postinfusion, coinciding with maximum plasma concentration of bendamustine). Change 1 h postinfusion was also measured. Exploratory assessments included specific QTcF outlier analyses (new QTcF >500 ms, change >60 ms) and morphological changes. RESULTS: Of the 54 enrolled patients (mean age, 62.9 years), 53 received ≥1 dose; 49 completed ≥6 cycles. Mean QTcF change from baseline was 6.7 ms at end of infusion; no mean changes >20 ms were detected ≤1 h postinfusion. No patients met specific outlier criteria at end of infusion or 1 h postinfusion. No morphological changes were detected. CONCLUSIONS: In this small treatment-naïve population with advanced NHL/MCL, bendamustine did not produce a clinically relevant increase in mean QTcF on the second infusion day. The potential for delayed effects on QT interval after 1 h was not evaluated.
