  1. BTK inhibition in mantle cell and diffuse large cell lymphoma: the next steps Kristie A. Blum, MD Associate Professor of Medicine Section Head, OSU Lymphoma Program

  2. Discussion topics • Single agent ibrutinib trials • Combination ibrutinib trials • Prognostic factors in MCL and DLCL • Identification of high risk groups where novel treatment strategies required

  3. Mantle Cell Lymphoma • MCL is a rare type of B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma • Presentation can be indolent or aggressive • No standard front-line regimen: • R-HyperCVAD1 • R-CHOP2,6 or alternating RCHOP/RDHAP7 • Methotrexate with augmented R-CHOP3 • Nordic regimen4 • R-Bendamustine5 • Consolidation with autologous transplant in first remission may prolong progression-free survival6 • Options at relapse include ibrutinib, bortezomib, R-bendamustine, lenalidomide 1Romaguera et al.

  21. Patient Characteristics by GEP Analysis (Total 70 pts, 29 ABC, 20 GCB, 16 Unclassifiable, 5 Unknown) * No statistically significant differences between ABC and GCB were observed (p-values > 0.05)

  25. Patient example • JN • 64 yo female • Diagnosed in 2007 with stage IVA DLCL • RCHOP x 8 cycles 9/2007-3/2008 • 6/2009: Palpable new r cervical node • Biopsy: recurrent DLCL: Large and small lymphocytes that were CD20, CD79a, bcl-2 staining. Negative for bcl-6, CD10. MUM-1 not tested. FISH 14;18 negative • RICE x 2 cycles and ASCT (BEAM preparative regimen) in 9/2009 • 12/2011: Relapses with PET avid periaortic, aortocaval and iliac nodes, BM involved with large CD20 positive cells

  26. - PET/CT at 2 months demonstrates CR, repeat PET/CT and BM biopsy at 6 months confirms CR. - Remains on study, now on cycle 26 without recurrence - Has an available sibling donor, do you transplant and when?

  27. Questions from these two ibrutinib trials • Can we identify a subgroup of patients with MCL where ibrutinib isn’t active? • Does the disease rapidly worsen with withdrawal of ibrutinib in patients with MCL, particularly after initial period of SD? • Is the activity of ibrutinib truly restricted to the ABC subtype or are there selected GCB patients who could respond? • What are the relevant signaling pathways in the responding GCB patients? • Is the lack of activity in GCB patients simply due to a refractory patient population? • Does combination therapy improve efficacy of ibrutinib in MCL and DLCL?

  28. OSU 10052: Phase I Trial of the Bruton’s Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) Inhibitor, Ibrutinib (PCI-32765), in Combination with Rituximab and Bendamustine in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Blum KA, Christian B, Flynn JM, Jaglowski SM, Jones JA, Maddocks K, and Byrd JC.

  39. Cycle 1, week 3 Pre-treatment

  40. Conclusions • R-Bendamustine + Ibrutinib is well tolerated in this cohort of patients • Higher incidence of gr. 3 rash (27%) than previously reported • Most of pts with rash had FL or DLCL (only 1 MCL) • Gr. 3 Rash in a R-B-ibrutinib trial in CLL pts was 10% • Bendamustine dose 70 mg/m2 and ibrutinib was 420 mg/d • Brown, et al.
