    Description: BACKGROUND Development of targeted therapies for CLL including the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody obinutuzumab (OBIN), Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib (IBR), and Bcl-2 inhibitor venetoclax (VEN) have demonstrated significant clinical activity in CLL. As they have high response rates as single agents, largely non-overlapping toxicities, and distinct and potentially synergistic mechanisms of action, we designed and initiated a triplet regimen with OBIN, IBR, and VEN for a fixed duration of treatment. The goal of the regimen is to achieve deep remissions and facilitate treatment discontinuation. The previously reported phase 1b cohort on this study established VEN 400 mg daily as the recommended dose for use with the label doses of OBIN and IRB in this combination. To determine response rates, eradication of minimal residual disease (MRD), and progression-free survival (PFS) in relapsed/refractory (RR) and treatment-naïve (TN) CLL with this regimen, two separate cohorts were accrued to a phase 2 trial. METHODS Patients with RR or TN CLL requiring therapy were eligible. Patients were required to have ECOG PS ≤1 and preserved end-organ function, including normal serum creatinine or creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min/m2. RR patients had to have ≥1 prior CLL therapy. Treatment was given at the doses and schedule established in the preceding phase 1b study (Jones ASH 2016) for 14 cycles (C) of 28 days with OBIN, IBR, and VEN started sequentially over the first 3 cycles. Risk for tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) with VEN was assessed according to US prescribing information with monitoring instituted according to risk. Adverse events (AEs) were assessed and graded using the NCI CTCAE v4.03 except hematologic AEs which were graded according to the IWCLL 2008 guidelines. Response was determined according to IWCLL 2008 criteria after C8 (mid-therapy) and 2 months after completing C14 (EOT). MRD was measured in the bone marrow and peripheral blood by standard 10-color flow cytometry at these time points. The primary endpoint was MRD negative complete response at EOT. For each cohort, 25 patients provided at least 90% power to detect an increase in MRD negative complete response rate from 10% to 30% using a single stage design and constraining type I error rate to 10%. Herein, toxicity and mid-therapy responses are presented. RESULTS The study enrolled a total of 50 patients with 25 RR and 25 TN in separate cohorts. Baseline characteristics are in Table 1. The adverse event (AE) profile was similar to the phase 1b study and consistent with the known toxicities of the included individual agents. Frequent treatment-related AEs are found in Table 2. Hematologic toxicity was most frequent with the majority of patients experiencing thrombocytopenia (80%) and/or neutropenia (76%). The most frequent non-hematologic toxicities were hypertension (70%), infusion related reactions (66%), bruising (52%), myalgia (50%), and nausea (50%). Grade 3-4 toxicities were largely hematologic with 56% experiencing grade 3-4 neutropenia and 34% grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia. The only frequently occurring non-hematologic grade 3-4 toxicity was hypertension (32%). The median follow-up for the study was 18.0 months (range 0-24.8) for the RR cohort and 20.6 months (range 7.4-23.9) for the TN cohort. At mid-therapy assessment 23/25 of the RR patients remained on study and all had achieved a response. Three patients achieved CR, 3 a CR with incomplete marrow recovery, and 17 a partial remission. The ORR in RR patients at mid-therapy was 92% (95% CI: 74-99%). Twenty-three (92%) RR patients tested for mid-therapy MRD, with 16 (70%) MRD negative in both the blood and marrow. Two patients had MRD in the blood only, 2 in the marrow only, and 3 in both the blood and the marrow. Mid-therapy responses for the TN cohort have previously been reported (Rogers ASH 2017). To date in 21 (84%) TN patients completed treatment through C14 and 23 (92%) RR remain on study with 21 completing treatment. No patients in either cohort had progressive disease. There was one death from neutropenia and colitis in a TN patient. CONCLUSIONS OBIN, IBR, and VEN in combination have a tolerable safety profile in both RR and TN CLL patients with the majority of toxicities being hematologic. This regimen has a high mid-therapy response rate (92%) in RR patients with early MRD negative responses. EOT responses in TN and RR patients will be presented at the meeting.

    Description: Abstract 2472 Background: As a result of the previously demonstrated efficacy of the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor, flavopiridol, and the immunomodulatory agent, lenalidomide, in heavily pre-treated patients (pts) with bulky adenopathy and adverse cytogenetics, we conducted a phase I trial to determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of combined therapy. Both agents are active in pts with relapsed/refractory cytogenetically high risk CLL, utilize different novel mechanisms of action, and do not deplete T-cells, leading to the potential development of a well tolerated regimen for pts with del (17p13.1) and del (11q22.3) with greater efficacy and less infectious toxicity than observed with currently accepted fludarabine or alemtuzumab combinations. Methods: Pts with histologically confirmed CLL relapsed after at least 1 prior therapy with a WBC ≤ 150,000/mm3, ANC ≥ 1000/mm3, platelets ≥ 30,000/mm3, and creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL were enrolled. Treatment consisted of flavopiridol alone (30 mg/m2 bolus + 50 mg/m2 4-hour continuous IV infusion (CIVI)) days 1, 8, and 15 of cycle 1 to decrease the pre-treatment disease burden and minimize the potential risks of simultaneous tumor flare and tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) with concurrent lenalidomide and flavopiridol. Starting in cycle 2, flavopiridol 30 mg/m2 bolus + 30 mg/m2 4-hour CIVI days 3, 10, and 17 was combined with lenalidomide 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10, 15, or 25 mg days 1–21 every 28 days. All pts received 20 mg of dexamethasone 30 minutes prior to flavopiridol dosing and 4 mg of dexamethasone 24 hours after flavopiridol to minimize cytokine release symptoms. Results: Twenty-one pts (12 males) with a median age of 59 (range 42–71) previously treated with a median of 4 prior therapies (range 1–10) were enrolled. All pts received prior fludarabine, 9 pts were fludarabine refractory, no pts previously received flavopiridol, and 1 pt was previously treated with lenalidomide. Pts had Rai stage I/II (n=6) or IV (n=15) disease and 13 pts had bulky adenopathy ≥ 5 cm. Thirteen pts had del (17p13.1) and 8 pts had del (11q22.3). Seventeen pts completed two or more cycles of therapy (median 3, range 2–8), receiving 2.5 mg (n=6), 5.0 mg (n=7), and 7.5 mg (n=4) of lenalidomide. Four pts completed only one cycle of therapy and were removed prior to receiving lenalidomide due to progressive disease (n=2), TLS requiring dialysis (n=1), and grade 4 thrombocytopenia (n=1). DLT consisting of grade 3–4 transaminitis persisting 〉 7 days occurred in 2 pts treated with 2.5 mg (n=1) and 5.0 mg of lenalidomide (n=1), respectively. Grade 3–4 toxicities consisted of neutropenia (86%), diarrhea (62%), transaminitis reversible in ≤ 7 days (57%), anemia (38%), thrombocytopenia (38%), hyperglycemia (38%), infection without neutropenia (24%, cellulitis in 1 pt, pneumonia in 3 pts, and catheter-associated in 1 pt), febrile neutropenia (14%, unknown source in 2 pts and pneumonia in 1 pt), TLS not requiring dialysis (14%), and fatigue (14%). Grade 1 tumor flare occurred in 1 pt and did not require additional steroids or cessation of lenalidomide. In 15 evaluable pts who completed 1 or more cycles of combined lenalidomide and flavopiridol, partial responses were observed in 7 pts, including 4 pts with del (17p13.1), 3 pts with del (11q22.3), 5 fludarabine-refractory pts, 3 pts with bulky lymphadenopathy ≥ 5 cm, and 1 pt previously treated with lenalidomide. Conclusions: Combined flavopiridol and lenalidomide is well tolerated, with activity in pts with previously treated, cytogenetically high-risk CLL. The MTD has not been reached and dose escalation continues. This trial is supported by NCI R21 CA133875, NCI K23 CA109004, NCI U01 CA076576, LLS SCOR 7080-06, and the D. Warren Brown Foundation. Disclosures: Blum: Celgene: Research Funding. Off Label Use: The efficacy of the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor, flavopiridol, and the immunomodulatory agent, lenalidomide, are under investigation in CLL.

    Description: Background: Daratumumab is a human IgGκ monoclonal antibody targeting CD38 with a direct on-tumor and immunomodulatory mechanism of action. The intravenous (IV) formulation of daratumumab is approved in many countries for use as monotherapy in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), and in combination with standard-of-care regimens in RRMM and patients with NDMM who are transplant ineligible. A subcutaneous (SC) formulation of daratumumab is currently under investigation in several ongoing studies. In the phase 3 COLUMBA study, daratumumab SC was shown to be non-inferior to daratumumab IV, demonstrating similar efficacy and pharmacokinetics, with a significantly decreased rate of infusion-related reactions and reduced administration time. The randomized phase 2 LYNX (MMY2065) study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of retreatment with subcutaneous daratumumab in patients with RRMM who were previously exposed to daratumumab IV therapy. Study Design and Methods: In this ongoing, multicenter, open-label, randomized phase 2 study, approximately 230 patients with prior exposure to daratumumab will be randomized 1:1 to receive daratumumab plus carfilzomib and dexamethasone (D-Kd) or carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) alone. Patients must have received 1 to 2 prior lines of therapy (at least one of which included daratumumab IV) with the daratumumab-based therapy completed ≥3 months prior to randomization. Eligible patients must have achieved a partial response or better (as defined by International Myeloma Working Group [IMWG] criteria) to daratumumab-based therapy, with a duration of response of ≥4 months. Patients must not have discontinued daratumumab due to a daratumumab-related adverse event or received prior treatment with carfilzomib. All patients will receive 20 mg/m2 carfilzomib IV on Day 1 of Cycle 1, escalated to 70 mg/m2 on Days 8 and 15; carfilzomib 70 mg/m2 will be administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle thereafter. Dexamethasone 40 mg will be administered (IV or PO) QW for Cycles 1-9 and then on Days 1, 8, and 15 from Cycle 10 onwards. Patients in the D-Kd group will also receive daratumumab SC (1,800 mg co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 [rHuPH20; 2,000 U/mL; ENHANZE® drug delivery technology, Halozyme, Inc.]) QW in Cycles 1-2, Q2W in Cycles 3-6, and Q4W thereafter. The primary endpoint is the rate of patients achieving a very good partial response or better. Secondary endpoints include overall response rate, rate of patients achieving complete response or better, progression-free survival, overall survival, overall MRD-negativity rate, time to next treatment, pharmacokinetics, and safety.

    Description: Abstract 1977 Introduction: Transplant options are limited for adult patients (pts) who lack a fully matched related or unrelated donor. We hypothesized that in-vivo T-cell depletion with r-ATG would allow safe allo-SCT from mismatched, unrelated donors, thus expanding the potential donor pool for pts with hematologic malignancies who require allo-SCT. Patients and Methods: Thirty seven adult pts (age 20 – 70, median 45) underwent a first unrelated, mismatched, allo-SCT between 1/1/2006 and 6/30/2011 at Mayo Clinic Arizona for hematologic malignancy (35 PBSC, 2 marrow). All pts had at least a one allele or one antigen mismatch (MM) at HLA-A, -B, -C, or -DRB1, and all except one pt received r-ATG as part of the GVHD prophylaxis strategy (dose range 2.5 – 10 mg/kg in daily dose of 2.5 mg/kg depending on degree of mismatch, with the last dose generally given on day −1). One pt received Campath after experiencing anaphylaxis to r-ATG. Pts were transplanted for acute myeloid leukemia (n = 19; 10 CR1, 6 CR2, 3 other), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n = 8; 4 CR1, 4 CR〉/= 2), chronic myeloid leukemia (n = 1), myelodysplastic syndrome (n = 5), or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 4). Conditioning was myeloablative in 20, reduced intensity in 16, and non-myeloablative in 1. Mismatches were as follows: 1-allele MM (n = 7); 1 antigen MM (n = 15); 2 allele MM (n = 4); 1 antigen, 1 allele MM (n = 7); and 2 antigen MM (n = 4). Additional GVHD prophylaxis included tacrolimus plus either methotrexate (n =21), mycophenolate mofetil (n = 14), or other (n = 2). Results: The median follow-up for surviving pts is 12 months. As of 6/30/11, 31 pts were alive, and 6 had died of the following causes: multiorgan failure (n = 1), relapse (n = 3), and veno-occlusive disease (n = 2). To date, there have been no deaths related to acute or chronic GVHD. The 1- and 2-year estimated rates of overall survival are 84.5%/78.8% (Fig. 1); of progression-free survival 79.7%/72.0%. The estimated rate of relapse at 1 and 2 years is 11.8%/18.7%, and of non-relapse mortality 8.1%/10.5%. Four pts (10.8%) have developed severe (grades III-IV) acute GVHD by day 100 (days 19, 27, 30, 43; one pt after withdrawal of prograf due to transplant-associated microangiopathy). No late onset severe acute GVHD has been seen. Moderate to severe NIH-defined chronic GVHD occurred in a single pt at risk (cumulative incidence estimate 2.4% at 1 year, 4.7% at 2 years; Fig. 2). Four pts have reactivated EBV, with one developing PTLD (all have been treated with Rituximab). CMV reactivation was seen in 24 pts (65%), CMV disease in 4, with no deaths directly related to CMV. Conclusions: In vivo T-cell depletion with r-ATG abrogates severe acute and chronic GVHD, and allows use of mismatched unrelated donors for allo-SCT in adult pts with otherwise incurable hematologic malignancies. Long-term survivors are generally free of severe chronic GVHD, with good quality of life. There does not appear to be an increased incidence of disease relapse, and non-relapse mortality is low. This approach is safe, effective, and considerably expands the donor pool for adult pts who require allo-SCT.

    Description: Abstract 3113 Background: Pre-transplantation FDG-PET/CT (PET/CT) has been associated with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients (pts) with relapsed Hodgkin's and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (Spaepan, Blood.102 :53-59, 2003). However, no data exist regarding the role of PET/CT pre-transplant in pts with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). We performed a retrospective analysis of pts with MCL and available pre-transplant PET/CT to evaluate the association of pre-transplant PET/CT findings with PFS and OS. Methods: PET/CT was reviewed by a single radiologist according to International Harmonization Committee (IHC) criteria with mediastinal blood pool as the referenced background activity and also utilizing liver blood pool. Bone marrow (BM) uptake was not utilized in the PET/CT response assessment. Associations between PET/CT positivity and clinical characteristics were performed using Fisher's Exact and Wilcoxon rank sum tests. PFS curves were constructed from date of transplant until date of relapse or death by the Kaplan-Meier method and evaluated by the log-rank test. Univariable proportional hazards models described the relationship between clinical variables and PFS. Results: Twenty-nine pts with PET/CT prior to autologous stem cell transplant were included. Median age was 60 (range 37–73), and 86% were male. Median MIPI was 5.9 (range 4.9–7.0), with 36%, 40%, and 24% of pts classified as low (〈 5.7), intermediate (5.7–6.2), or high risk (〉 6.2), respectively. At diagnosis, 93% of pts had BM involvement, 56% had splenomegaly, and 27% had bulky adenopathy ≥ 5cm. Sixty-nine percent of pts were induced with RCHOP and methotrexate (RCHOP+M, Damon, JCO 27 :6101–6108); other therapies included RCHOP (n=4), RHyperCVAD (n=2), bortezomib (n=2), and REPOCH (n=1). Sixty-six percent, 21%, and 14% of pts received 2, 3–5, or 6 induction cycles prior to transplant, respectively. Conditioning regimens were BEAM (59%) and BEC (41%) and 90% of pts underwent transplant in first remission. Median time to transplant from diagnosis was 5.4 months (range 3.4–82). With a median follow up of 18 months (range 0.7–43), estimated median PFS is 42 months (95% CI 15–45). There have been 7 relapses (4 RCHOP, 1 RCHOP+M, 1 bortezomib, 1 REPOCH) and 5 deaths (disease progression, n=3, and pneumonia, n=2). Seventeen pts (59%) had a negative PET/CT prior to transplant, with identical results using mediastinal or liver blood pool. In 19, 6, and 4 pts respectively receiving 2, 3–5, and 6 cycles of induction therapy, 58%, 50%, and 75% were PET/CT negative prior to transplant. PET/CT positive pts received RCHOP+M (n=10), RCHOP (n=1), and bortezomib (n=1), Compared to PET/CT negative pts, PET/CT positive pts were younger (median age 55 v. 62, p=0.04) with lower MIPI (p=0.05). There was no significant association of bulky adenopathy (p=0.09), induction with RCHOP+M (p=0.23), or number of induction cycles (p=0.87) with PET/CT findings. 5 pts had a positive pre-transplant BM biopsy, of which 2 were BM negative by PET/CT. BM positivity on pre-transplant PET/CT was observed in 14 pts with only 3 also positive by BM biopsy. Median PFS was 45 months (95% CI 13–45) for PET/CT negative pts and 33 months (95% CI 3–33) in PET/CT positive pts (Figure 1; p=0.03). At this time, 4 of 17 PET/CT negative pts have progressed or died compared to 5 of 12 PET/CT positive pts. Of the 5 deaths experienced thus far, 4 have occurred in PET/CT positive pts. Presence of bulky adenopathy ≥ 5cm was also associated with a worse PFS (p=0.01), but MIPI (p=0.31) and age (p=0.61) were not. Conclusions: PET/CT associates with PFS after autologous stem cell transplantation in MCL (p=0.03). However, additional follow-up is needed to see if this association between PET/CT positivity and early relapse in MCL persists. In addition, as the majority of pts had 2 cycles of induction therapy with RCHOP+M, the impact of treatment regimen and number of cycles is difficult to assess in this series. Interestingly, neither age nor MIPI were associated with PFS from transplant, perhaps indicating that clinical characteristics at diagnosis are less important in pts that achieve a complete response by IHC criteria prior to transplant. Prospective investigation with centrally reviewed PET/CT scans compared with standard CT is required to determine the predictive role of pre-transplant PET/CT in MCL. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

    Description: Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a highly aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for nearly 3% of all newly diagnosed NHLs. Treatment of adult non-HIV-related BL with the intensive CODOX-M/IVAC regimen (modified Magrath regimen) produces complete responses (CR) in 75 to 86% of patients, with lower CR rates reported in HIV-related BL. The CD20-directed monoclonal antibody rituximab has never been reported in combination with CODOX-M/IVAC, and here we report the first series in BL patients, with or without HIV infection. A total of 24 patients were identified at our institutions who received rituximab plus CODOX-M/IVAC with curative intent. Rituximab was administered at 375mg/m2 on day 3 of cycle 1, and then on day 1 of subsequent cycles. Twenty-three patients received 4 alternating cycles of R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC for high risk disease, while 1 patient received 3 cycles of R-CODOX-M alone for low risk disease, defined as a single focus less than 10cm with a normal LDH. All patients received white cell growth factor support, and pneumocystis prophylaxis was included for all HIV+ patients. The median age was 45 years (17–67), advanced Ann Arbor stage 80%, LDH 〉 upper limit of normal 80%, extra nodal involvement 80% and ECOG PS

    Description: BACKGROUND: ABVD with or without radiation is standard therapy for limited stage HL, but carries risks of bleomycin-lung injury and radiation toxicity. Brentuximab vedotin (BV) is an anti-CD30 antibody drug conjugate which is highly active in relapsed classical HL. We previously combined BV with AVD in limited stage non-bulky classical HL which resulted in a high CR rate, but at the cost of increased neutropenia, neutropenic fever, and neuropathy, likely related to the overlapping toxicity profile with vinblastine. Similar toxicity findings were also observed with BV-AVD in advanced stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma. We therefore evaluated BV plus AD (BV-AD) without radiation therapy for non-bulky stage I-II classical HL with the goal of reducing toxicity and maintaining high rates of inducing CR. METHODS: This is a multicenter single arm open label phase 2 study. Patients received BV 1.2 mg/kg plus standard dose adriamycin and dacarbazine on days 1 and 15 of each 28 day cycle. GCSF prophylaxis was not included. Patients received 4 or 6 cycles of BV-AD based on the results of an interim PETCT scan performed following cycle 2. PET negativity was defined as Deauville scores 1-3. Patients in CR on interim PETCT received 4 total cycles of therapy; patients in PR completed 6 cycles. The primary endpoint is complete response rate (CRR) at end of treatment. A sample size of 34 was required to detect an end of treatment CRR of 95% with 91% power and alpha error of 0.09. RESULTS: 34 patients were enrolled. Median age is 36 (range 18-63). Stage is IA (3), IB (1), IIA (29) and IIB (1). Risk is classified per the GHSG criteria as early unfavorable in 47%, and favorable in 53%. The interim CR rate is 94%. Accordingly, 32 interim PET negative patients (94%) received 4 total cycles of therapy, and 2 interim PET positive patients (6%) received 6 total cycles of therapy. No patients received consolidative radiation therapy, per protocol. The primary endpoint of end of treatment CR rate is 100%. At a median follow-up of 15 months, the FFS, PFS and OS are all 100%. The most common adverse events of any grade are nausea (79%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (56%), fatigue (50%), constipation (38%), alopecia (35%) and neutropenia (24%). Most toxicities were low grade, with only 15% of subjects experiencing any grade 3 toxicity, and there were no grade 4 or 5 toxicities. Specifically, 2 patients had grade 3 neutropenia, and 1 patient each had grade 3 nausea/vomiting, pneumonia and thromboembolic event. Peripheral sensory neuropathy was grade 1 in 17 patients, and grade 2 in 2 patients. There were no cases of neutropenic fever. CONCLUSIONS: BV-AD for 4-6 cycles induces high interim and end of treatment CR rates of 94% and 100%, respectively, allowing 4 total cycles of therapy in most patients. The PFS, FFS and OS are all 100% at last follow up. Toxicity appears mild and notable for a low incidence of neutropenia, alopecia, and moderate peripheral neuropathy. This promising regimen avoids bleomycin, vinblastine, radiation and primary GCSF prophylaxis with resultant low toxicity and preserved high efficacy rates in patients with early favorable and early unfavorable non-bulky limited stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma.
