Abstract: It has been proposed that patients with hematologic malignancy and autoimmune diseases receiving anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy are particularly at risk of severe Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) because the profound and long-lasting B-cell depletion induced by anti-CD20 mAb may impair virus clearance and may also contribute to reactivation of latent viruses, especially hepatitis B and JC viruses. As of July 20, 2020, the total number of COVID-19 cases reported by the Italian authorities reached 245,000. The north of the country was mostly hit, and Milan and Brescia were among the Italian provinces that registered the highest number of COVID-19 cases. Consistent with this, a high number of COVID-19 patients affected with multiple types of hematological disorders (n. 137) and with multiple sclerosis (MS, n. 114) were referred to ASST Spedali Civili di Brescia. Antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 were analyzed in 70 patients with hematological disease, and in few patients with MS. Among these, 10 patients (7 with hematologic disease and 3 with MS) had received treatment with rituximab or ocrelizumab, two anti-CD20 mAbs, within 3 months prior to COVID-19 onset. Clinical indication to CD20-depleting treatment for patients with hematological disorders included Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) or Follicular Non Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). Anti-spike protein (anti-S) and anti-nucleocapsid (anti-N) antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 were analyzed during the acute phase of infection and up to 3 months since the onset of symptoms by quantitative measurements of plasma or serum antibodies with luciferase immune precipitation assay systems (LIPS). With this technique, production of anti-S and anti-N antibodies has been demonstrated between day 8 and day 14 after onset of symptoms in immunocompetent individuals, whereas specific antibody production was delayed by few days in immunocompromised patients (Burbelo PD et al, medRxiv. 2020 Apr 24:2020.04.20.20071423). All 10 patients remained seronegative to SARS-CoV-2 for the first 20 days since onset of symptoms. One patient with DLBCL secondary to Follicular NHL had detectable anti-S and anti-N antibodies at day +25, and one patient with MS developed anti-N antibodies by day +23. Two patients, one with DLBCL secondary to Follicular NHL and one with Follicular NHL were still seronegative for both anti-S and anti-N antibodies at 133 and 74 days since onset of symptoms. Two MS patients were seronegative at the last examination, and one other MS patient was anti-S seronegative at day +74. Three of the 10 patients have died; all three were SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR+ and seronegative at the time of death. While it has been reported that SARS-CoV-2 is cleared without significant problems by the majority of people with MS or other autoimmune diseases on immunotherapy, these data indicate that treatment with anti-CD20 mAb may significantly alter humoral responses to the virus. Until a vaccine to SARS-CoV-2 is available, the risk-benefit ratio of anti-CD20 mAb therapy in areas with high rates of SARS-CoV-2 infection should be carefully weighed. Moreover, for patients with B-cell malignancies or autoimmune diseases, transient discontinuation of this therapy, or use of alternative therapeutic approaches, should be considered once an efficacious vaccine becomes available. This study was performed according to protocol NP-4000 (Comitato Etico Provinciale), and supported by Regione Lombardia and by the Division of Intramural Research, NIAID.

Abstract: Introduction. Covid-19 patients (pts) with hematologic malignancies have a severe prognosis with mortality rates around 40%, particularly when on active treatment (Cattaneo et al, Cancer, in press). However, the long-term prognosis and persistence of specific immune responses among those who survive acute infection are unclear. Aim: Pts with hematological diseases were followed longitudinally after the acute phase of COVID-19 according to protocol NP4156 approved by the local EC. Clinical outcome and specific antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 were monitored during convalescence, and correlated to the diagnosis and treatment of the underlying hematological disease. Pts and Methods. Pts affected by multiple myeloma (MM), follicular (FL) and diffuse large B-cell (DLC) lymphoma (NHL), chronic lymphoproliferative disorders (CLD), myelodysplastic/chronic myeloproliferative syndromes (MDS/MPN) and surviving the acute phase of virologic-proven COVID-19 were eligible. Immune response parameters were evaluated at +1, +3, +6, +9 and +12 months after nasal swab negativization. Antibodies (Ab) to different conformations of COVID-19 virus proteins, nucleocapsid (N) and spike (S), were measured using a highly sensitive luciferase-immunoprecipitation system (LIPS) assay. Results. Of 51 eligible pts, 41 were tested for SARS-CoV-2 Ab at first timepoint (+1m) (6 pts too early, 2 refusal, 2 lost to follow-up). For 9 of them, Ab levels at +3m were also available. Ab levels of 14 controls without hematologic disorders (Ctrls) also surviving COVID-19 were evaluable at +1m and in 9 of them at +3 months as well. Diagnoses included FL (9) and DLC (6) NHL, CLD (7), MM (10), MDS/MPS (9). The status of hematological disease at the time of COVID-19 diagnosis was as follows: diagnosis (n=4; 10%), complete or partial remission (n=16; 39%), relapse/refractory (n=6; 15%; stable (n=15; 36%). Twenty-one pts (51%) were on active treatment, including 6 on chemoimmunotherapy; 7 pts had received chemoimmunotherapy previously. Median time from SARS-CoV-2 detection to swab negativity was 30d (range 8-63), and was not influenced by sex, age, hematologic diagnosis, disease status, nor treatment received. Two pts, both affected by DLC secondary to FL, remained swab-positive at day 119+ and 123+. At +1m, both N- and S- seropositivity rate was slightly lower in pts [N+ in 30/41 (73%); S+ in 27/41 (66%)] vs 13/14 for both N+ and S+ in Ctrls (93%) (P=0.16 and 0.08, respectively). Discrepancies between N and S seropositivity were observed in 7 (17%) pts, all with lymphoid disorders. Ab levels were similar in hematologic pts and in Ctrls (N+ 894,707 vs 870,541 LU and S+ 907,591 LU vs 724,120 LU, respectively, P=NS) (Fig.1a). Both seroconversion rates and Ab levels were not influenced by age, sex, status of hematologic disease, ongoing treatment, time to swab negativity, severity of pneumonia and steroid treatment during acute COVID-19. However, a diagnosis of NHL negatively impacted on seroconversion for both N and S. In 15 pts with NHL compared to 26 pts with other hematologic cancers, the N-seropositivity rate was 47% vs 92%, and the S-seropositivity rate was 40% vs 85%y (P=0.002 and 0.0053, respectively). N and S Ab levels were also lower than in other hematologic diseases (515,281 LU vs 1105409 LU, P=.002 and 474,309 LU vs 1,148,303 LU, P=.005 respectively) (Fig.1b). Rituximab (RTX) had been used in 13 of 15 NHL (87%), and treatment was ongoing in 6/13. While N-seroconversion and Ab levels were not influenced, no pts on ongoing RTX had S-seroconversion vs 5/7 pts with past RTX use (P=0.021) and mean antibody levels were 17622 LU vs 668548 LU, respectively (P=0.008). At +3m, no significant variations of both anti-N and anti-S antibody levels had occurred compared to timepoint +1m. Seroconversion status was maintained by 9/9 Ctrls and by 8/8 pts; the only pt with Ab levels below the cut-off at +1m did not show seroconversion at+3m. Conclusions: Overall, hematologic pts surviving COVID-19 have N- and S- antibodies levels and seroconversion rates similar to controls without hematologic disorders, although time to swab negativity seems more similar to critically ill pts than in the general population. A diagnosis of NHL negatively impacts on seroconversion and Ab levels, and ongoing RTX seems to have a negative role specifically on anti-S Ab production. Ab response persists at 3 months; the study is ongoing and further data will be available at time of meeting. Disclosures Tucci: Amgen: Consultancy.

Abstract: Background Limited data are available on the clinical activity of venetoclax (ven) in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). In 2 small retrospective studies of patients (pts) with MCL previously treated with BTK inhibitors (BTKi), ven resulted in overall response rates (ORRs) of 50-53% and median overall survival (OS) of 9-14 months (Eyre et al, Haematologica 2019; Zhao et al, Am J Hematol 2020). We sought to report the clinical activity of ven and identify factors associated with outcomes in a larger cohort of pts. Methods We included pts with relapsed MCL from 12 US medical centers treated with ven alone or in combination with an antiCD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) or a BTKi. Response was determined by the local investigator. We defined OS as time from start of ven to death. Pts not experiencing an event were censored at their last known follow up. OS was determined using the Kaplan-Meier method, and univariable (UVA) and multivariable (MVA) models were developed to identify predictors of response and OS. Results Eighty-one pts were included. Pt characteristics (Table) at diagnosis (dx) were: median age 64 years (yrs) (range 38-87), male 79%, stage III/IV 95%, Ki67 & gt;30% in 61% (available n=62), blastoid/pleomorphic histology 29% (available n=75) and ≥3 cytogenetic abnormalities 34% (available n=62). BCL2 expression was present in 93% (available n=40). Frontline treatment (tx) included intensive chemotherapy [defined as including high-dose cytarabine and/or autologous transplant (ASCT) in first remission] in 52% with ASCT in first remission in 32%. Median number of therapies prior to ven was 3 (range 1-8) including antiCD20 mAb 99%, alkylator 93%, BTKi 91%, anthracycline 58%, cytarabine 56%, and lenalidomide 37%. 55% were refractory (defined as stable (SD) or progressive disease (PD)) to last tx prior to ven. ORR to BTKi prior to ven (n=70) was 66% (complete response (CR) 20%) with median duration of tx of 6.4 months (range 0.5-69). BTKi was stopped due to PD 82% and toxicity 18%. Median time from dx to start of ven was 3.9 yrs (range 0.2-17.8). Ven was given as monotherapy in 62% (n=50) and in combination with BTKi 20% (n=16), antiCD20 mAb 14% (n=11), or other 5% (n=4). Ten pts treated with ven in combination with BTKi received prior tx with BTKi with ORR to BTKi of 40% (all PR). Ven highest dose received was 20-100 mg in 12% (n=9), 200 mg 11% (n=8), 400 mg 61% (n=46), and 800 mg 17% (n=13). Median duration of tx with ven was 2.8 months (range 0.1-30). The best response to ven was CR 18%, partial response (PR) 24%, SD 11%, and PD 47% with ORR of 42%; 19 pts (23%) did not have available data for response. ORR was not significantly different with ven monotherapy 36% (13/36) vs ven + antiCD20 mAb 56% (5/9) vs ven + BTKi 43% (6/14) (p=.559), or with ven monotherapy 36% vs combination therapy 50% (13/26) (p=.274). Ven was stopped due to PD 69%, toxicity 9%, allogeneic transplant 3% or other reasons 19%. Laboratory tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) occurred in 10 pts (12%) including 3 (3.7%) with clinical TLS. 38 pts received post-ven tx with median time from stopping ven to next tx of 0.24 months (range 0-2.2); for the 33 pts with available data, the best response to post-ven tx was CR 24%, PR 27%, SD 9% and PD 39% with ORR of 51%. For the 75 pts with available data, median OS was 12.5 months (95% CI 6-17) with 3-year OS of 13.1% (95% CI 1.4-38.0%) (Figure A). Median OS was numerically longer with ven combination (28.7 months, 95% CI 4-not reached) vs monotherapy (8.6 months, 95% CI 4.7-14.4), p=.0825 (Figure B). Median OS did not significantly differ based on response (CR/PR vs SD/PD) to prior tx with BTKi (14.4 vs 9.5 months, p=.53, Figure C) or last tx prior to ven (16.7 vs 12.4 months, p=.14, Figure D). In MVA for response, achieving CR/PR with BTKi prior to ven (vs SD/PD) was associated with response to ven (odds ratio 3.48, 95% CI 1.01-12.05, p=.049). In MVA for OS, ven combination vs monotherapy (HR 0.13, 95% CI 0.03-0.53; p=.006), longer time from dx to start of ven ( & gt;4 vs ≤4 yrs) (HR 0.08, 95% CI 0.02-0.36; p=.001), and higher dose of ven (≥400 mg vs & lt;400) (HR 0.17, 95% CI 0.04-0.72; p=.016) were associated with superior OS, while longer duration of tx with BTKi ( & gt;6 vs ≤6 months) (HR 3.47, 95% CI 1.10-10.99; p=.038) was associated with inferior OS. Conclusions In these high-risk and heavily pretreated pts with MCL, ven resulted in low response rate and poor OS. Ven may have a better role in MCL in earlier lines of therapy and when combined with other agents such as BTKi and/or antiCD20 mAbs. Disclosures Kamdar: Roche: Research Funding.

Abstract: Introduction: Time to treatment (TTT) is an important prognostic factor in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (Maurer et al JCO 2018) where patients who initiate therapy quickly after diagnosis have an inferior event free survival compared to those who do not require such immediate treatment initiation. More recently, TTT has shown to be associated with adverse clinical factors and inferior outcomes in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL; Maurer, et al ASH, 2018). However, there is a paucity of data on the impact of TTT on overall survival (OS). We sought to validate these findings and to evaluate the impact of TTT on survival outcomes in newly diagnosed patients with MCL. Methods: We included patients from 12 medical centers in the United States with MCL diagnosed between January 1, 2000, and January 1, 2018, who had information on the TTT and initiated treatment within 60 days of diagnosis (to exclude patients whose treatment was purposefully deferred). TTT was defined as the time in days from first lymphoma diagnosis to initiation of therapy. Patients who received treatment within 14 days were categorized into short TTT group. We compared differences between the two groups (TTT 〈 =14 days vs TTT 〉 14 days and ≤ 60 days, longer TTT group) using chi-squared test, Fisher's exact tests, or ANOVA tests as appropriate. OS was defined as the time from diagnosis to death or last follow-up. Patients not experiencing an event were censored at their last known follow-up. OS was determined using the Kaplan-Meier method, and univariable and multivariable models were developed to identify predictors of OS. Results: Of 1,168 patients with newly diagnosed MCL, seven hundred fifty-five patients met the inclusion criteria and were included in this analysis, including 205 (27%) with short TTT and 550 (73%) with longer TTT. Median time to treatment was 7 days (range, 0-14) for the short TTT group vs 31 days for the longer TTT group (range, 15-60 days). The median age for the entire cohort was 63 years, 75% of patients were male, and 93% of patients had ECOG 0-1. The proportion of patients with stage 4 disease (93 vs 86%, p=0.015), elevated LDH (58 vs 39%, p 〈 0.001), 〉 3 cytogenetic abnormalities (29 vs 14%, p=0.005), B symptoms (47 vs 29%, p 〈 0.001) and high MIPI score (49 vs 27%, p 〈 0.001) was higher in short TTT group compared to longer TTT group. 65% received intensive induction therapy in the short TTT group relative to 57% in the longer TTT group (p=0.046) (Table). On univariable analysis, factors associated with inferior OS included, TTT 〈 =14 days (HR=1.66, 95%CI=1.23-2.27, p 〈 0.001), ECOG 〉 =2 (p 〈 0.001), stage IV disease (p=0.01), elevated LDH (p 〈 0.001), WBC 〉 10k (p=0.002), BM involvement (p 〈 0.001), splenomegaly (p 〈 0.001), ≥3 cytogenetic abnormalities (p 〈 0.001), non-intensive regimen (p=0.03), B symptoms (p 〈 0.001), and high MIPI score (p 〈 0.001). With a median follow-up of 3.4 years, the median OS was 8.8 years (95%CI=7-NA) for patients with short TTT group and 12.5 years (95% CI: 11.4-18.7) for patients with longer TTT group (Figure; p 〈 0.001). In the multivariable model including ECOG, LDH, intensive regimen and B symptoms, short TTT (HR=2, 95%CI=1.25-3.22; p=0.004), ECOG 〉 =2 (HR=2.25, 95%CI=1.22-4.14; p=0.009), elevated LDH (HR=1.81, 95%CI=1.16-2.85; p=0.01), and receipt of non-intensive regimen (HR=1.61, 95%CI=1.04-2.50; p=0.03) were significant predictors of OS while B symptoms was not. Conclusions: Short TTT for patients with newly diagnosed MCL is associated with aggressive disease features and inferior OS despite an increased likelihood of receiving intensive induction regimens. Further studies are needed to identify molecular determinants of such aggressive disease behavior that can be assessed quickly and utilized to initiate appropriate therapy in a timely manner. Ongoing front-line clinical trials in MCL should be developed in a way to facilitate enrollment of patients requiring urgent therapy, including potentially permitting a cycle of off-study treatment to manage symptoms while a patient is screened and enrolled.

Abstract: Background: Bortezomib-containing combination chemotherapy regimens are effective in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), although there are limited data on toxicity in the front-line setting for indolent NHL when combined with reduced-dose vincristine-containing chemotherapy. Our group (Sinha et al, Cancer 2012) reported outcomes from a phase I study of bortezomib combined with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, modified vincristine, and prednisone (VR-CHOP) and found a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of bortezomib (V) of 1.6mg/m2 with vincristine capped at 1.5 mg with an overall response rate (ORR) of 100%. Herein we report the results of our phase II study of this regimen. Patients and Methods: Eligible patients had untreated indolent NHL (small lymphocytic lymphoma [SLL], marginal zone lymphoma [MZL] , or follicular lymphoma [FL] grades 1-3) meeting standard criteria for treatment or with FL international prognostic index (FLIPI) ≥3. Patients received V administered at a dose of 1.6mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 as well as rituximab (R) 375mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 750mg/m2, doxorubicin 50mg/m2, and vincristine 1.4mg/m2 (capped at 1.5mg/dose) on day 1 and prednisone 100mg on days 1-5 of a 21-day cycle. Patients received at least 6 cycles and up to 8 cycles of therapy at the discretion of the treating physician. Patients who achieved a complete response (CR) after induction were assigned to receive maintenance R 375mg/m2 every 12 weeks for 2 years while patients with a partial response (PR) or stable disease received R 375mg/m2 along with V 1.6mg/m2 (VR), both administered weekly for 4 weeks every 6 months for up to 2 years. Response was assessed by Cheson 1999 criteria, and toxicity assessed by CTCAE version 3.0. One FL patient discontinued study therapy after cycle 2 when a central pathology review revised the diagnosis to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. This patient was not included in the efficacy analysis but is included in the safety reports. CR rate and ORR were determined at the conclusion of induction therapy, and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method from the date of study entry. Results: Thirty patients received at least 1 treatment of VR-CHOP, including 16 males and 14 females. The median age was 58 (range: 31-71), and histologies included MZL (n=5), SLL (n=4), and FL (Grade 1, n=7; Grade 2, n=12; Grade 3, n=2). FLIPI score for patients with FL were 1 (n=2), 2 (n=4), 3 (n=12), and 4 (n=3). Twenty-nine were evaluable for response, including 19 patients with CR and 10 patients with PR at the conclusion of induction therapy (CR rate of 66%; ORR of 100%). For 20 evaluable patients with FL, the CR rate was 75%. Twenty-five patients proceeded with maintenance therapy, including 6 patients who received VR and 19 patients who received R alone. Three patients with PR to induction converted to CR after maintenance with VR. Four patients received no maintenance due to refusal/lost to follow-up (n=2), toxicity (n=1), and progression (n=1). Three patients with PR received only R due to neuropathy. Four patients have relapsed or progressed on therapy, including 1 patient prior to starting maintenance, 2 patients during VR maintenance, and 1 patient who achieved a PR but was receiving R maintenance. One additional patient progressed after completing R maintenance. With a median follow-up of 39 months, 3-year PFS rate is 85.8%, and the 3-year OS rate is 96.4% (Figure). Grade ≥3 peripheral neuropathy was noted in 2 patients (7%), while grade 1-2 neuropathy occurred in 17 patients (57%). Grade 3-4 hematologic toxicities included neutropenia (n=14, 47%), thrombocytopenia (n=3, 10%), anemia (n=1, 3%), and febrile neutropenia (n=1, 3%). Eight patients experienced additional grade 3 non-hematologic toxicities, including the following which occurred in more than 1 patient: vomiting (n=3, 10%), abdominal pain (n=2, 7%), fatigue (n=2, 7%), hyperglycemia (n=2, 7%), hypokalemia (n=2, 7%), and nausea (n=2, 7%). Conclusion: VR-CHOP is highly efficacious in the front-line setting for management of patients with untreated indolent NHL, and toxicities are expected and manageable. Incidence of grade 3 peripheral neuropathy is low with incorporation of a decreased dose of vincristine, and the PFS compares favorably with previously reported outcomes in FL and indolent NHL for R-CHOP, R-Bendamustine, and R-CHOP plus maintenance R.

Abstract: Abstract 2693 Background: Aggressive B-cell NHL harboring a c-MYC rearrangement (myc+) with or without t(14;18) is associated with shortened PFS and overall survival (OS) (Savage, Blood 2009; Johnson, Blood 2009). Clinical presentation, risk-assessment, and therapies vary among pts and institutions. We reviewed pts with myc+ and double hit NHL treated at the Ohio State University (OSU) from Aug 2008-Jan 2012 to determine factors associated with prolonged PFS and OS. Methods: Pts with de-novo B-cell NHL who were myc+ by FISH break-apart probe were included. Pts with Burkitt's, follicular, and transformed NHL were excluded. Most pts were also evaluated for presence of t(14;18) by FISH, and those myc+ pts with t(14;18) were classified as double hit NHL. Response was determined by PET/CT at the completion of first-line therapy. Associations between myc+ and clinical characteristics were described. PFS and OS were defined from date of diagnosis to date of relapse or death. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression models were performed to assess relationships of selected clinical variables with PFS and OS. Results: Of 49 myc+ pts, 55% were male, and median age at diagnosis was 62 (range: 23–83). Morphologically, 30 pts had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 10 pts had B cell lymphoma unclassifiable with features intermediate between diffuse large B cell and Burkitt lymphoma (BCLU), and 9 pts had high grade NHL not otherwise specified. Twenty-eight pts had ECOG performance status ≤1, and 40 pts had stage III-IV disease. Twelve pts had bone marrow involvement, and 26 pts had bulky disease ≥5cm. IPI was ≥3 in 24 pts, and median Ki-67 was 90% (range: 45–100). Twenty-nine of 43 assessed pts (67%) were positive for t(14;18). Therapies included R-CHOP (N=17), R-EPOCH (N=17), Burkitt's-like (ie, R-HyperCVAD, R-CODOXM/IVAC, or R-CHOP with high dose methotrexate; N=11), or other (N=4). No pts underwent autologous transplant in first remission. Twenty-nine pts (59%) achieved a complete response (CR), 2 pts had a partial response, 1 pt had stable disease, 8 pts had progressive disease (PD), and 9 pts died before response assessment (5 pts after cycle 1, 3 pts after cycle 2, and 1 pt after cycle 3). With a median follow-up of 26.2 months (mos; range: 4.8–45.0), the median PFS for all pts was 16.6 mos (95%CI: 9.6 - not reached=NR), and median OS was 37.7 mos (95%CI: 15.7–NR). Median PFS was 3.9 mos for pts without CR vs. not yet reached in pts with CR (p 〈 0.00001). Median OS was 7.0 mos for pts without CR vs. not yet reached for those with CR (Figure 1A; p 〈 0.00001). CR pts were treated with R-CHOP (N=12), R-EPOCH (N=9), Burkitt's-like (N=6), or other (N=2). Four of the CR pts have relapsed at 6, 9, 11, and 17 mos, and 25 CR pts remain in remission at a median follow-up of 27.5 mos (range: 4.8 – 45). Of 3 pts with PR or SD, 2 pts progressed at 3 and 11 mos, and 1 PR pt was lost to follow-up at 15 mos. Of 21 pts who have died, 3 had CR. Median PFS and OS were 8.0 and 12.5 mos, respectively, in double-hit pts (myc+ with t(14;18)) vs. median PFS and OS not yet reached in pts who were myc+ without t(14;18) (p=0.04 for PFS; p=0.05 for OS). Additional factors associated with shortened PFS in univariable analysis included IPI ≥3 (p=0.0001), age ≥ 60 (p=0.046), and presence of B-symptoms (p=0.025). Morphology (DLBCL vs. BCLU), therapy received, Ki-67, and presence of bulky disease ≥5cm were not significantly associated with PFS or OS. In multivariable analysis, CR was independently associated with increased PFS (p=0.0036) and OS (p=0.008; Figure 1B), while t(14;18), morphology, front-line therapy, IPI, bulky disease, age, or presence of B- symptoms were not independently associated with PFS or OS. While increased IPI (p=0.00034) and B-symptoms (p=0.04) were associated with a failure to achieve CR, morphology and therapy were not. Conclusion: While myc+ NHL, with or without t(14;18), has historically been associated with inferior PFS and OS, achievement of a CR with front-line therapy was indicative of a favorable PFS and OS vs. those who do not achieve CR. Additional evaluation of myc+ aggressive NHL is needed to characterize pre-treatment factors associated with achievement of CR and to further evaluate the association of CR to induction therapy with survival outcomes.

Abstract: Background Systemic AL amyloidosis is a life-threatening disease with limited treatment options. Response criteria have been recently updated and retrospectively validated (Palladini et al, J Clin Oncol 2012). Hematologic response (suppression of FLCs) has been shown to predict for both organ response and survival (ibid). Preliminary results from the present phase 1 study (NCT01318902) regarding the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ixazomib (the first oral PI to be investigated in the clinic) in RRAL were reported previously (Merlini et al, ASH 2012). At that time, 11 pts had received the MTD/RP3D of ixazomib - 4.0 mg. Here we update the safety data (primary objective) and report hematologic and organ responses, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) (secondary objectives) for the extended population of 22 pts receiving the RP3D. Methods Pts with RRAL after ≥1 prior therapy and with measureable heart/kidney involvement and cardiac biomarker stage I/II disease were eligible. Two expansion cohorts (PI-naïve and PI-exposed) were enrolled at the RP3D. Pts received oral ixazomib on days 1, 8, and 15 for up to 12 x 28-day cycles; continuation until disease progression was allowed. Pts with less than partial response (PR) after 3 cycles received added dexamethasone (Dex) 40 mg, days 1–4 from cycle 4 onwards. Adverse events (AEs) were graded by NCI-CTCAE v4.03. Responses were assessed per standard criteria (Palladini et al, J Clin Oncol 2012). Results At data cut-off (Dec 6, 2013), 27 pts had been enrolled, 22 at the RP3D of ixazomib 4.0 mg; the other 5 pts were enrolled at 5.5 mg and are not included in these analyses. In pts who received ixazomib 4.0 mg, median age was 64.5 yrs (range 54–78); 13 were male. Mayo cardiac biomarker risk stage was I/II/III in 11/10/1 pts, respectively. Median baseline FLC differential (dFLC) and NT-proBNP were 146 mg/L (range 40–734) and 849 pg/mL (range 51–5691). Major organ involvement included heart, kidney, or both in 9, 8, and 5 pts, with a median of 2 (range 1–6) organ systems involved. Pts had received a median of 3 prior therapies, including transplantation in 16 pts; 16 pts had received prior bortezomib (PI exposed) and 6 were PI naïve. Other prior therapies included melphalan (n=21), Dex (n=16), IMiDs (n=11), and cyclophosphamide (n=10). Best hematologic response to prior therapy was complete response (CR) in 3 pts, very good PR (VGPR) in 4, PR in 14, and stable disease (SD) in 1 pt; organ response was achieved by 5 pts, with 12 pts having no response. Exposure and outcome data by prior PI exposure are shown in the table. Pts discontinued due to disease progression (n=6), pt withdrawal, symptomatic deterioration (each n=3), or unsatisfactory response (n=2); 5 pts completed 12 cycles; 3 pts are ongoing. Overall hematologic response rate (ORR) was 52%. After a median follow-up of 16.9 mos, the 9 pts who achieved ≥VGPR, had a median PFS of 17.0 mos compared with 10.7 mos in pts who achieved a lesser response (p=0.03). Cardiac/renal response was observed in 50%/18% of pts (all ≥VGPR). The most common drug-related AEs included diarrhea, nausea (each n=7), fatigue, thrombocytopenia (each n=6), peripheral neuropathy, and pyrexia (each n=4). Drug-related grade 3 AEs ( 〉 1 pt) were thrombocytopenia (n=3), diarrhea, and maculo-papular rash (each n=2).

These data suggest weekly oral ixazomib 4.0 mg is feasible and generally well tolerated in RRAL pts with vital organ dysfunction. High quality hematologic responses (≥VGPR) were observed in 43% of pts; these responses were sustained at 1 yr in 60% of this heavily-pretreated population. Achieving ≥VGPR was associated with cardiac response and extended PFS. These results warrant a phase 3 study of ixazomib plus Dex vs physician's choice of treatment, which is ongoing (NCT01659658).

Abstract: Patients with classic hydroa vacciniforme–like lymphoproliferative disorder (HVLPD) typically have high levels of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA in T cells and/or natural killer (NK) cells in blood and skin lesions induced by sun exposure that are infiltrated with EBV-infected lymphocytes. HVLPD is very rare in the United States and Europe but more common in Asia and South America. The disease can progress to a systemic form that may result in fatal lymphoma. We report our 11-year experience with 16 HVLPD patients from the United States and England and found that whites were less likely to develop systemic EBV disease (1/10) than nonwhites (5/6). All (10/10) of the white patients were generally in good health at last follow-up, while two-thirds (4/6) of the nonwhite patients required hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Nonwhite patients had later age of onset of HVLPD than white patients (median age, 8 vs 5 years) and higher levels of EBV DNA (median, 1 515 000 vs 250 000 copies/ml) and more often had low numbers of NK cells (83% vs 50% of patients) and T-cell clones in the blood (83% vs 30% of patients). RNA-sequencing analysis of an HVLPD skin lesion in a white patient compared with his normal skin showed increased expression of interferon-γ and chemokines that attract T cells and NK cells. Thus, white patients with HVLPD were less likely to have systemic disease with EBV and had a much better prognosis than nonwhite patients. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00369421 and #NCT00032513.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is a congenital hemolytic anemia caused by deficiency of the glycolytic enzyme red cell PK (PK-R). AG-348 is an orally available, small molecule, allosteric activator of PK-R that activates wild-type and a range of mutated PK-R enzymes in vitro, and increases PK-R activity and restores adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels in red blood cells from patients with PK deficiency ex vivo. AIMS To describe data from the ongoing DRIVE PK study (NCT02476916), an open-label, dose-ranging trial of AG-348 in transfusion-independent adults with PK deficiency. Early data from this study have been reported (Grace et al. EHA 2016, S466). METHODS After providing informed consent, patients are randomized to AG-348 50 mg or 300 mg orally twice daily (BID) for 6 months. Transfusion independence is defined as no more than 3 units of red blood cells transfused in the 12 months preceding first dose and no transfusions in the 4 months preceding first dose. Patients are followed weekly for Weeks 1-3, then every 3 weeks until Week 12, and then monthly until Week 24. Sex hormone levels and iron status are evaluated at Baseline, Week 12 and End of Study. RESULTS As of the data cutoff date of June 20, 2016, 25 patients have been enrolled and treated for ≥3 weeks. Adverse events (AEs) were mild to moderate. The most frequent AEs were nausea (n=11/25), headache, and insomnia (each n=8/25). One serious AE (Grade 2 osteoporosis) has been reported. Grade 3 AEs were hypertension (n=1), hypertriglyceridemia (n=1), insomnia (n=2), and anemia (n=1). One patient was discontinued from treatment because anemia worsened. There were no Grade 4 AEs and no deaths. Three patients had dose reductions because of headache, nausea, or insomnia. Serum levels of sex steroids were measured at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks; increases in free and total testosterone, and decreases in estradiol and estrone, indicate aromatase inhibition by AG-348, consistent with previously reported results. In 25 patients with ≥3 weeks on treatment, 13 patients (52%) showed a hemoglobin (Hgb) increase 〉 1.0 g/dL (range: 1.2-4.9 g/dL; median: 3.40 g/dL). Three patients had dose reductions because of Hgb values exceeding the protocol-mandated maximum. Hgb responses were typically observed within 2 weeks of treatment and were stable with continued treatment. Two patients had dose increases because of insufficient response to 50 mg. Maximal change in Hgb from baseline according to genotype is shown in Figure 1. Of the 25 enrolled patients with ≥3 weeks on treatment, 6 (24%) had two non-missense mutations and none of these had an Hgb response 〉 1.0 g/dL. Of the 19 patients with at least one missense mutation, 13 (68%) had an Hgb increase exceeding 1.0 g/dL. CONCLUSION AG-348 is a novel, first-in-class, PK-R activator in clinical testing as a disease-altering therapy to improve anemia in patients with PK deficiency. The ongoing DRIVE PK study has now enrolled over 25 patients, and data from additional patients will be available at the time of presentation. Daily dosing with AG-348 is well tolerated and has demonstrated clinically relevant durable increases in Hgb in the majority of the patients with at least 1 missense mutation. Out of the 19 patients with at least one missense mutation, 13 had an Hgb increase of 〉 1.0 g/dL. These data highlight the potential of AG-348 as the first disease-altering treatment for patients with PK deficiency. Figure 1 Maximum hemoglobin (Hgb) increase by genotype Figure 1.
