Introduction: Follicular lymphoma (FL) is considered an indolent yet incurable disease characterized by recurrent relapses: disease-free intervals shorten, and refractoriness increases with each relapse. Patients (pts) with FL who have received at least two prior systemic therapies typically have a poor prognosis. This is particularly true for those who have progression of disease within 24 months of front-line treatment (POD24), or are refractory to multiple agent classes; such patients are left with limited treatment options. Mosunetuzumab is a full-length, fully humanized immunoglobulin G1 CD20/CD3 bispecific antibody that redirects T cells to engage and eliminate malignant B cells. GO29781 (NCT02500407) is an ongoing open-label, multicenter, Phase I/Ib, dose-escalation and expansion study evaluating the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of mosunetuzumab in pts with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell lymphoma. Here, we present updated clinical data from pts with R/R FL treated with mosunetuzumab after at least two prior systemic therapies. Methods: Data are presented from Group B, in which pts received intravenous mosunetuzumab monotherapy as step-up doses in Cycle 1 on Days 1 and 8 and the target dose administered on Day 15. Mosunetuzumab was given on Day 1 of each subsequent 21-day cycle for 8 cycles in pts with a complete response (CR), and up to 17 cycles in those with a partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD). Results: As of January 21, 2020, 62 pts with FL (with at least two prior systemic therapies), received mosunetuzumab at dose levels between 0.4/1.0/2.8mg and 1/2/13.5mg (Cycle 1 Day 1/8/15 dose levels). The median age was 59 (range 27-85) years, and median number of prior therapies was 3 (range 2-11). Thirty-three pts (53%) were refractory to both a prior anti-CD20 antibody and an alkylating agent (double refractory), 30 (48%) had POD24, and four (6%) had received prior chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. The overall response rate (ORR) was 68% (42/62), with 31 pts (50%) achieving CR (Figure). Consistent CR rates were observed in high-risk pt populations, including those with double refractory disease (18/33 [55%]), POD24 (16/30 [53%]), PI3Ki refractory (7/9 [78%]), and those who received prior CAR-T therapy (2/4 [50%]). With a median time on study of 14.4 months, 26 pts (62% of all responders; including 74% of pts who achieved CR) remained in remission at the data cut-off. The median duration of response (DOR) was 20.4 months (95% CI: 11.7 months, upper limit not reached) for all 42 responders. The median PFS was 11.8 months (95% CI: 7.3-21.9 months). Adverse events (AEs) were reported in 60 pts (97%); serious adverse events (SAE) were reported in 22 pts (35%). The most frequently reported (>10% of pts) grade (Gr) 3 or higher AEs included hypophosphatemia (23%; transient and clinically asymptomatic) and neutropenia (21%; with a low rate of febrile neutropenia [2%]). Overall, 14 pts (23%) experienced CRS; in four pts, CRS was classified as a SAE. CRS events were reversible, mostly of Gr 1 or 2 (Gr 1, n=11; Gr 2, n=2; Gr 3, n=1; Lee, et al. Blood 2014), and predominantly occurred during Cycle 1. No patient required tocilizumab, intensive care unit admission or use of vasopressors for CRS management. Neurologic AEs (NAEs; defined by any AEs reported as Preferred Terms in SOC Nervous System Disorders and SOC Psychiatric Disorders) were observed in 28 pts (45%); all were Gr 1 (n=18) or 2 (n=10). The most commonly reported NAEs were headache (24%), insomnia (15%) and dizziness (11%). No Gr ≥3 NAEs or serious NAEs were reported. Conclusions: Fixed-duration mosunetuzumab monotherapy results in high response rates and durable disease control with a tolerable safety profile in heavily pretreated patients with FL, including known high-risk subgroups. Updated pharmacodynamics and biomarker data will be presented at the meeting.

Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is clinically and biologically heterogeneous. Risk stratification at the time of diagnosis is critical. One of the most powerful prognostic indices is the Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index-Combined, which integrates an estimate of proliferation (Ki67 index) with the standard Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index clinical factors. In addition, the presence of TP53 mutation is associated with suboptimal response to intensive chemoimmunotherapy and particularly dismal survival outcomes. Given their excellent activity in the relapsed/refractory setting, increasingly, biologically targeted therapeutics—such as covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, lenalidomide, and venetoclax—are being incorporated into “chemotherapy-free” regimens and in combination with established chemoimmunotherapy backbones for treatment-naïve mantle cell lymphoma. In addition, risk-adapted treatment programs are increasingly being studied. These programs tailor treatment according to baseline prognostic factors (e.g., presence of TP53 mutation) and may incorporate biomarkers of response such as minimal residual disease assessment. Although still investigational, these studies present an opportunity to move beyond the biology-agnostic, historical fitness-based treatment selection paradigm and toward a more personalized, tailored treatment approach in mantle cell lymphoma. After Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor failure, many promising standard or investigational therapies exist, including CAR T-cell therapy (including brexucabtagene autoleucel and lisocabtagene maraleucel), bispecific antibody therapy targeting CD20-CD3, zilovertamab vedotin (an antibody-drug conjugate that targets ROR1), and the noncovalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor pirtobrutinib. These new therapies show promising efficacy, even among high-risk patients, and will likely translate to improvements in survival outcomes for patients with progressive mantle cell lymphoma following treatment with a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
Background: Covalent BTK inhibitors (BTKi) have transformed the management of CLL/SLL. Despite the marked efficacy of covalent BTKi, treatment failure can occur through the development of resistance and discontinuation for adverse events. The activity of covalent BTK inhibitors is markedly reduced or absent in the presence of BTK cysteine binding site (C481) mutations. Moreover, these agents share pharmacologic liabilities (e.g. low oral bioavailability, short half-life) that may lead to suboptimal BTK target coverage, for example in rapidly proliferating tumors with high BTK protein turnover, ultimately manifesting as acquired resistance in some patients (pts). To address these limitations, LOXO-305, a highly selective, non-covalent BTKi that inhibits both wild type (WT) and C481-mutated BTK with equal low nM potency was developed. The aim of the BRUIN trial was to define the safety and early efficacy of LOXO-305 in pts with B-cell malignancies. Here we report these data in pts with previously treated CLL/SLL. Methods: BRUIN is a multicenter phase 1/2 trial (NCT 03740529) enrolling pts with advanced B-cell malignancies who have received >2 prior therapies. Dose was escalated according to a standard 3+3 design with LOXO-305 dosed orally in 28-day cycles. The primary endpoint was MTD/RP2D identification. Intra-patient dose-escalation to previously cleared dose levels was permitted. Efficacy evaluable pts included all dosed pts who underwent their first response evaluation or discontinued therapy. Response was assessed every 8 weeks from cycle 3, and every 12 weeks from cycle 13 and was measured according to the iwCLL 2018 criteria, including PR with lymphocytosis (PR-L). Safety was assessed in all pts (CLL/SLL and NHL, n=186). Results: As of 30 April 2020, 186 pts with B-cell malignancies (94 CLL/SLL, 38 MCL, 19 DLBCL, 17 WM, 6 FL, 5 MZL, and 7 Other [B-PLL and Richter's transformation]) were treated on 7 dose levels (25mg to 300mg QD). Among the 94 pts with CLL/SLL, the median age was 69 (range 36-84) years and median number of prior therapies was 4 (range 1-10). 84% of CLL/SLL pts had received a prior BTKi, and 69% had received an anti-CD20 antibody, chemotherapy, and BTKi. In addition, 21% had received a PI3K inhibitor and 31% venetoclax. At enrollment, central molecular characterization for high-risk features in available samples revealed 17p deletion in 21% (13/63), TP53 mutation in 30% (27/91), and unmutated IGHV in 84% (51/61). LOXO-305 demonstrated high oral exposures, with doses ≥100mg QD exceeding the BTK IC90 for the entirety of the dosing interval. There were no DLTs or dose reductions. Consistent with LOXO-305's selectivity, the only treatment-emergent adverse events regardless of attribution or grade seen in >10% of pts (n=186) were fatigue (n=29, 16%) and diarrhea (n=28, 15%). Responses were observed at the first dose level of 25mg QD. A RP2D of 200mg QD was selected for future studies. At the efficacy cutoff date, 88 CLL/SLL pts (94%) remained on therapy and 65 CLL/SLL pts were efficacy-evaluable (58 BTKi-treated, 7 BTKi-naïve). Median follow up time was 3 months (range 0.1-13) for all pts and 6.7 months for responders. The ORR was 57%, with 23 PRs, 14 PR-Ls, 26 SDs, 1 PD, and 1 NE (Figure). An additional 29 pts were ongoing and awaiting initial radiologic assessment. As has been observed with covalent BTK inhibitors, responses deepened over time; among pts with at least 6 months of follow-up (n=26), the ORR was 77%. Response rate was not influenced by the presence or absence of a pretreatment BTK C481 mutation, the reason for prior BTKi discontinuation (i.e. progression vs intolerance), or other classes of prior therapy received (including a covalent BTK and BCL2 inhibitor). Of the 37 responding pts, all except 2 remain on therapy (1 progressed and 1 achieved a PR and electively discontinued treatment to undergo an allogeneic stem cell transplant). The longest-followed responding patient has been on treatment for 13.5 months and is ongoing. Responding pts with BTK C481 mutations demonstrated corresponding decreases in mutant disease burden by ddPCR. Conclusion: LOXO-305 demonstrated promising efficacy in heavily pretreated, poor-prognosis CLL/SLL pts following multiple prior lines of therapy including covalent BTKi and a BCL2 inhibitor. Importantly, the activity of LOXO-305 was not restricted to pts with BTK C481 mutations. LOXO-305 was well tolerated and exhibited a wide therapeutic index.
