Description: Background: MCL is a heterogeneous disease and the existence of indolent clinical forms is increasingly recognized although their biological ground is not fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to propose a frontline tailored treatment for indolent clinical forms with a chemo-free regimen, ibrutinib in combination with rituximab. In addition, an extensive genomic study was associated to gain biological insight into these clinical forms. Methods: This is a multicenter single-arm, open-label, phase II study with a two-stage design conducted in 14 Spanish GELTAMO sites (NCT02682641). Centralized histology, PET-CT review as well as minimal residual disease (MRD) studies (qPCR and NGS in peripheral blood [PB] and bone marrow [BM]) and biological studies are conducted. A total of 50 previously untreated MCL patients with indolent clinical forms are planned to be recruited, defined by the following criteria: no symptoms attributable to MCL, ECOG 0-1, stable disease without therapy need at least for 3 months, non-blastoid variants, Ki-67

Description: Background Tipifarnib is a potent and selective inhibitor of the enzyme farnesyltransferase (FT). FT catalyzes post-translational attachment of farnesyl groups required for localization of signaling molecules to the inner cell membrane. CXCL12 is a ligand for CXCR4 that is essential for T cell homing to lymphoid organs and the bone marrow, and for the maintenance of immune cell progenitors. We have previously shown that FT inhibition by tipifarnib downregulates CXCL12 secretion. Herein we report preliminary efficacy, safety and biomarker data from a Phase 2 study of tipifarnib in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and CXCL12+ peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) patients (pts). Methods This Phase 2 study (NCT02464228) is a multi-institutional, single-arm, open-label trial initially designed as a two-stage (11+7 pts) design to determine the efficacy, safety and biomarkers of tipifarnib in pts with relapsed/refractory (R/R) PTCL age 〉/=18 years and a performance status of 0-2. Based on initial findings, the study was amended to include a cohort of AITL (n=12) and PTCL (n=12) pts with the CXCL12 rs2839695 A/A genotype (wt CXCL12 3'UTR cohort). Pts received tipifarnib 300 mg administered orally twice daily on days 1-21 of 28-day treatment cycles until progression of disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint of the study is overall response rate (ORR). Tumor Whole Exon Sequencing (WES) was generated by NGS and gene expression data generated by RNA Seq. Ancillary studies also investigated the prognostic value of CXCL12 expression in pts who received standard of care treatment. Results As of 24 May 2019, 50 PTCL pts (23 AITL, 25 PTCL-NOS, 1 ALK- ALCL, 1 gamma-delta TCL) have been treated with tipifarnib, 19 pts in stages 1 and 2, and 31 pts in the ongoing AITL histology and wt CXCL12 3'UTR cohorts. Median number of prior treatment regimens was 3; 19 pts had a prior stem cell transplant. All pts (n=48 with available safety data) had at least one treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE); 42 (88%) had at least 1 study drug-related TEAE and 13 (27%) at least 1 drug related SAE. The most frequently observed drug-related TEAEs of Grade 〉3 occurring in 10% or more of pts were blood and lymphatic system disorders, including neutropenia (40%), thrombocytopenia (33%), leukopenia (25%), anemia and febrile neutropenia (19% each). There have been 14 deaths on study; one related to study drug (lung infection). Of 18 evaluable pts enrolled in Stages 1 and 2 of the trial, 3 partial responses (PR), 2 of them in pts with AITL histology, and 5 best responses of stable disease (SD) were observed. In the AITL cohort (11 evaluable of 16 pts enrolled), a 45% ORR and 73% clinical benefit rate (CBR; 3 CR, 2 PR and 3 SD) was observed. In the wt CXCL12 3'UTR cohort (n=12 evaluable pts), a 42% ORR was observed (3 CR, 2 PR), with 2 of the 3 CRs observed in patients of AITL histology (n=4). A total of 23 AITL subjects were enrolled in the overall study of whom 16 had WES data. A strong association with the activity of tipifarnib was observed in 8 of the 16 (50%) carrying KIR3DL2 gene variants C336R/Q386E: 50% CR rate, 75% ORR, 100% clinical benefit rate. These tumors expressed also very low levels of CXCL5, a ligand for CXCR2, that may mediate resistance to tipifarnib. High Allele Frequency of KIR3DL2 variants predicted CR to tipifarnib treatment (ROC AUC=0.94, p

Description: Introduction: Patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL after two or more lines of therapy and who are not candidates for stem cell transplantation have limited effective treatment options and a poor prognosis. Selinexor, an oral XPO1 inhibitor, causes nuclear accumulation and activation of tumor suppressor proteins including p53, p21, and IκBα, along with reductions in c-Myc and Bcl-2 oncogenes. In a phase 1 clinical study (NCT01607892), pts with R/R DLBCL treated with selinexor had an overall response rate (ORR) of 32%, with 4 complete responses (CRs, 6%). Based on these findings, a phase 2b open-label study (SADAL) of selinexor in pts with R/R DLBCL not candidates for transplantation was initiated. Methods: Pts with R/R DLBCL were stratified by subtype (GCB or non-GCB). Pts achieving a best response of PR/CR on prior therapy required a 8 week washout before enrolling on trial. The primary objectives included efficacy (ORR and associated DOR) and safety.Pts were initially randomized to 60 or 100 mg of selinexor twice weekly (8 doses) per 28-day cycle. Disease response was assessed by an Independent Central Radiological Review (ICRR), using the Lugano Classification (Cheson, 2014). Results: Preliminary results from the planned interim analysis showed similar ORRs on the 60 and 100 mg doses, but reduced DOR and tolerability at the higher dose; the 100 mg arm was therefore discontinued. 110 pts were enrolled on the 60 mg arm (66 M/ 44 F, median age 67 yrs) with a median of 3 (range 2-5) prior treatment regimens. The most frequently reported treatment related adverse events (AEs) included(all grades, grades 3, 4): nausea (51%, 6%, 0%), fatigue (50%, 10%, 0%), thrombocytopenia (47%, 22%, 15%), anorexia (35%, 2%, 0%), neutropenia (27%, 20%, 0%), and anemia (27%, 12%, 1%). These AEs were managed with dose modifications and/or standard supportive care. At the planned interim analysis (N=32, 60 mg) the ICRR determined ORR was 34.4% (5 CRs and 6 partial responses (PRs)). The median duration of response (DOR) was 8.4 months. ORR was 33.3% in GCB and 35.3% in non-GCB subtypes. The median overall survival (OS) was 9.0 months. Median OS (Figure 1) in pts ≥PR was not reached and was significantly longer vs median OS for pts ≤ stable disease (SD) of 4.1 months (p=24 months, consistent with significant clinical benefit. Importantly, response to therapy (≥PR) was associated with significant improvement in OS of 9.0 months vs 4.1 months for those with ≤SD. Enrollment completion is expected by September 2018. Full study results (N=130) will be presented, including longer follow up (DOR and OS) of pts from the original interim analysis. Pts enrolled in SADAL represent an unmet medical need population, and selinexor may help address this need.

Description: Introduction: Selinexor is a first-in-class Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (SINE) that blocks XPO1, forcing the nuclear retention and re-activation of tumor suppressor proteins including p53, p73, FOXO, I□B and Rb. The phase 2b SADAL study included 134 patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL with single agent oral selinexor twice weekly. The overall response rate (ORR) was 29.1%, median duration of response (DOR) was 9.3 months and the median overall survival (OS) was 9 months. Based on these data, selinexor was recently approved by the US FDA for the treatment of relapsed or refractory DLBCL, de novo or transformed from follicular lymphoma. Patients with DLBCL tend to be older (over the age of 65) and have a number of comorbidities, which limits the use of aggressive and multi-agent combination therapies. We performed post-hoc analyses of the SADAL study to determine the effects of age on the efficacy and safety of selinexor in this population. Methods: The SADAL study is multi-center, open-label Phase 2b study that enrolled patients with DLBCL previously treated with 2-5 lines of therapy. Patients may have progressed post-stem cell therapy (SCT) or were not candidates for SCT. In this study, 60 mg of selinexor was administered twice weekly until disease progression. The primary endpoint was ORR, and other endpoints included DOR, OS, and safety assessments. For the current analysis, outcomes were assessed in patients

Description: Introduction: Selinexor is a first-in-class Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (SINE) that blocks XPO1, forcing the nuclear retention and re-activation of tumor suppressor proteins including p53, p73, FOXO, IkB and Rb. The phase 2b SADAL study included 134 patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL with single agent oral selinexor twice weekly. The overall response rate (ORR) was 29.1%, median duration of response (DOR) was 9.3 months and the median overall survival (OS) was 9 months. Based on these data, selinexor was recently approved by the US FDA for the treatment of relapsed or refractory DLBCL, de novo or transformed from follicular lymphoma. Patients with DLBCL tend to have a number of comorbidities, including poor renal function, which can require a reduction in the dose of intensive chemotherapy as well as lenalidomide, leading to inferior outcomes. Selinexor is not metabolized nor cleared by the kidneys and has been demonstrated to be safe and active in patients with myeloma and renal dysfunction. We performed post-hoc analyses of the SADAL study to determine the efficacy and safety among patients stratified by renal function at baseline. Methods: The SADAL study is multi-center, open-label Phase 2b study that enrolled patients with DLBCL previously treated with 2-5 lines of therapy. Patients may have progressed post-stem cell therapy (SCT) or were not candidates for SCT. In this study, 60 mg of selinexor was administered twice weekly until disease progression. The primary endpoint was ORR, and other endpoints included DOR, OS, and safety assessments. For the current analysis, outcomes were assessed according to baseline renal function as estimated by the Cockroft-Gault formula for creatinine clearance (CrCl). Groups included those with reduced (CrCl ≤60 mL/min) and normal (CrCl 〉60 mL/min) renal function. Results: Of 134 patients, 37 (28%) had a reduced baseline CrCl (≤60 mL/min) while 97 (72%) had CrCl 〉60 mL/min. The median age of patients with reduced CrCl was 74 years with 70% ≥70 years, while the median for those with normal CrCl was 65 years, with 35% ≥70 years. De novo and transformed DLBCL showed similar renal function levels: 78% and 22% with reduced CrCl and 76% and 24% with normal CrCl. Of patients with reduced CrCl, the DLBCL subtype was 41% GCB and 57% non-GCB compared to 50% and 46% in patients with normal CrCl. The group of patients with reduced CrCl had baseline ECOG performance status of 2 in 16% vs 11% in those with normal CrCl. Treatment with selinexor demonstrated a similar ORR in patients with a baseline reduced CrCl (29.7%) versus normal CrCl (28.9%). A complete response (CR) was observed in 8 (21.6%) patients with reduced and 10 (10.3%) patients with normal CrCl. The median duration of response (DOR) in patients who had reduced CrCl was 23.0 months compared to 9.2 months in patients with normal CrCl. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 3.5 months (95% CI 1.7, 24.8) and 2.3 months (95% CI 1.9, 3.7) and overall survival was 7.8 months and 9.1 months in patients with reduced CrCl and those with normal CrCl. The most common grade ≥3 treatment-related AEs for patients with reduced versus normal CrCl were thrombocytopenia (45.9% vs. 38.1%), nausea (5.4% vs. 6.2%), and fatigue (8.1% vs. 11.3%). There was no clinically significant increase in treatment-related serious adverse events (21.6% vs. 20.6%) and adverse events leading to discontinuation (10.8% vs. 7.2%) in patients with reduced or normal CrCl, respectively. Conclusions: Selinexor showed similar anti-DLBCL activity and tolerability in patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL with a reduced renal function (CrCl
