THE THRUST OF CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS Identify subsets of patients with diffuse large B cell or Hodgkin lymphoma who are either destined to do well or fare poorly using techniques beyond the known clinical predictive factors, particuarly those techniques using molecular changes and/or PET scans. By applying our better understanding of the (molecular) biology of these diseases, can we not only identify these subsets, but also develop and individualize treatments using less therapy for those with a good prognosis and using novel therapies for those destined to do poorly.

What is a “double hit” lymphoma? Recurrent breakpoints activating multiple oncogenes, one being MYC BCL2+/MYC+ most common BCL6, CCND1 and BCL3 may also occur Can also have “triple hit”

Abramson

DHL: Impact of R-EPOCH Results of chi-square analysis Improved CR compared to R-CHOP (p = .005) Trend towards improvement w/ other regimens (p = .07) Decreased PD compared to R-CHOP (p = .005) Decreased PD w/ other intensive regimens (p = .003)

DHL: Conclusions DHL has a poor prognosis, although a subset exists which can achieve durable CR R-EPOCH is associated with improved rates of CR and decreased rates of PD SCT does not clearly improve OS compared to observation alone in those achieving CR Novel approaches and agents are necessary to overcome unfavorable biology

Background Patients with DLBCL and an IPI score of 3-5 at diagnosis who relapse after R-CHOP can have a poor prognosis. Enzastaurin is a potent and selective competitive inhibitor of PKCβ.1,2 Enzastaurin was associated with freedom from progression in a phase II trial in a small subgroup of patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL, thereby providing the rationale for this study.3 R-CHOP = rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone. The PRELUDE Trial 1Morgillo F, et al. Mol Cancer Ther 2008;7:1698-707; 2Dumstorf CA, et al. Mol Cancer Ther 2010;9:3158-63; 3Robertson MJ, et al. J Clin Oncol 2007;25:1741-6. 24

Background PKCβ is the major isoform expressed in normal and malignant B cells.1,2 BTK PI 3K AKT mTOR PLC2 PKCβ SYK P IKK NFKB PKCβ is required for B cell receptor signaling, activation of NFκB, and VEGF-mediated angiogenesis.3 Over-expression of PKCβ mRNA and protein is associated with a poor outcome in patients with DLBCL.1 DLBCL = diffuse large B cell lymphoma. 1Shipp MA, et al. Nat Med 2002;8:68-74; 2Graff JR, et al. Cancer Res 2005;65:7462-9; 3Robertson MJ, et al. J Clin Oncol 2007;25:1741-6. The PRELUDE Trial 25

The PRELUDE Trial 27

Discussion and Conclusions Enzastaurin did not improve DFS, EFS, or OS vs. placebo in patients with CR after initial treatment for DLBCL and an IPI score of ≥3 Safety results of PRELUDE were consistent with the established safety profile of enzastaurin when used as a single-agent therapy in lymphoma and other cancers Cell-of-origin (GCB vs. non-GCB) was not prognostic for DFS in patients with CR The PRELUDE Trial 28

BENDAMUSTINE (with rituximab, vitamin R) Three studies reported: Japan, NSH, Germany Doses of B were 120mgm/m2 days 1,2 + R 375 mgm/m2 every three weeks. German study was with unrx’ed elderly (E) Responses ranged from 58% to 69% (E) CR’s ranged from 19% to 54% (E) PFS/OS ranged from 6 to 7.7(E) months Significant toxicity

Approach to “variant” DLBCLs GCB vs non-GCB R-CHOP is standard Various randomized trials underway MYC+, DH, TH Consider FISH/IHC for MYC, BCL2, BCL6 Less favorable with R-CHOP Unclear if other approaches better Prospective studies underway, including R- EPOCH Intensive BL type regimens R-EPOCH Less favorable outcome than other DLBCL with R-CHOP Risk seems to be beyond age, IPI Less favorable at progression Rearrangements noted BCL2 31% BCL6 18% C-MYC 13% C-MYC worse PFS and OS

In Hodgkin lymphoma, what role do PET Scans play in lessening (toxicity) therapy and enhancing cure? May interim PET/CAT scans be of value or should scans be used only at the end of treatment?

The RAPID Trial in Patients With Clinical Stages IA/IIA Hodgkin Lymphoma and a “Negative” PET Scan After 3 Cycles ABVD Radford J, Barrington S, Counsell N, Pettengell R, Johnson P, Wimperis J, Coltart S, Culligan D, Lister A, Bessell E, Kruger A, Popova B, Hancock B, Hoskin P, Illidge T, O’Doherty M 36

RAPID Trial Design Initial treatment: ABVD x 3 Reassessment: if NR/PD, patient goes off study if CR/PR, FDG-PET scan performed PET-positive PET-negative 4th cycle ABVD then IFRT Randomization IFRT No further treatment Radford J, et al. Blood. 2012;120: Abstract 547. 37

Outcomes After Median Follow-Up of 45.7 Months PET negative; randomized to IFRT (n = 209) PET negative; randomized to NFT (n = 211) PET positive; 4th cycle ABVD/IFRT (n = 145) Progressions 9 20 11 Deaths 6 1 8 PFS at 3 years 93.8% 90.7% 85.9% OS at 3 years 97.0% 99.5% 93.9% Radford J, et al.

Summary 602 pts registered between 2003 and 2010 75% PET-negative at central review after ABVD x 3 In the randomized PET-negative population, 3 yr PFS is 93.8% IFRT and 90.7% NFT Risk difference -3% is within the maximum allowable difference of -7% Radford J, et al. Blood. 2012;120: Abstract 547. 39

Conclusion Patients with a negative PET scan after 3 cycles ABVD have an excellent prognosis without further treatment, and for these patients RT can be avoided Radford J, et al. Blood. 2012;120: Abstract 547.

Commentary These data are similar to those reported from Argentina several years ago. Would the slightly higher rate of false negative PET scans at cycle 3 seen in those patients not receiving adjuvant radiotherapy been avoided had the PET been performed at cycle 2, or better yet, cycle 1 Response-adapted therapy based on quality- controlled/assured PET imaging may become the future standard of care in early-stage HL Radford J, et al.

What’s new for refractory/relalpsing disease? Evolving Data on Brentuximab Vedotin

Brentuximab Vedotin Mechanism of Action Brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35) ADC monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), potent antitubulin agent protease-cleavable linker anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody ADC binds to CD30 ADC-CD30 complex traffics to lysosome MMAE is released G2/M cell cycle arrest MMAE disrupts microtubule network Apoptosis

Long-Term Survival Analyses of an Ongoing Phase 2 Study of Brentuximab Vedotin in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma R Chen, AK Gopal, SE Smith, SM Ansell, JD Rosenblatt, KJ Savage, JM Connors, A Engert, EK Larsen, EL Sievers, A Younes 49

Overall survival after treatment with Brentuximab vedotin Median observation time from 1st dose: All patients = 29.5 months (range, 1.8 to 36.9) CR patients = 29.1 months (range, 2.6 to 34.3) 60/102 patients (59%) remain alive; median OS has not been reached (95% CI: 28.7, NE) Estimated 24-month survival rate* = 65% (95% CI: 55, 74)

Overall Survival by Cycle 4 PET Status

Conclusions Achievement of CR Negative PET scan at Cycle 4 After a median observation time of ~2.5 years from first brentuximab vedotin dose, 60 of 102 patients (59%) remain alive at last follow up Median OS has not yet been reached; the estimated 24-mo survival rate was 65% Improved OS strongly correlated with both: Achievement of CR Negative PET scan at Cycle 4 Prolonged OS was observed in patients with both long and short progression-free intervals after auto-SCT

What are we doing new for Advanced-Stage HL How can we improve the cure rate and reduce the toxicity for advanced stage disease?

Overall Survival Carde et al. J Clin Oncol 30, 2012 (suppl; abs 8002)

CONCLUSIONS EFS (primary endpoint) is similar between treatment arms. However, more progressions / relapses were observed with ABVD while early discontinuations were more frequent with BEACOPP In this high-risk group, conventional dose escalation with BEACOPP 4+4 provides a better PFS compared to ABVD, yet not good enough to improve OS Additional considerations (treatment burden & cost, fertility issues, risk of relapse, risk of salvage, immediate & late morbidities) may guide physician / patient decisions toward ABVD or BEACOPP, which currently may share the claim for “current standard of care” Carde et al. J Clin Oncol 30, 2012 (suppl; abs 8002)

CONCLUSIONS A GENERAL SURVEY OF STUDIES COMPARING BEACOPP TO ABVD ALMOST ALL CONSISTENTLY SHOW A SUPERIOR PROGRESSION FREE SURVIVAL FOR BEACOPP BUT LONG TERM SURVIVAL SEEMS TO BE COMPARABLE DUE TO THE TOXICITY OF BEACOPP. AS WITH LIMITED STAGE DISEASE, CAN INTERIM PET SCANS BE USED TO SELECT OUT THOSE PATIENTS NOTNEEDING MORE AGGRESSIVE THERAPY AND THEREBY AVOID ALL THE UNNECESSARY TOXICITY OF BEACOPP? IS GENETIC INSTABILITY ADVANCED BY DR DIEHL TRULY OPERATIVE EVEN AS EARLY AS (A PET SCAN AFTER) ONE CYCLE

SUMMARY 3 cycles of ABVD without IFRT has an excellent outcome for favorable stage IA/IIA patients who are at the conclusion of treatment are PET neg. Disease control may be slightly better for CMT as compared with CT (3%- 7%), although a survival difference is unlikely although long-term effects of IF (reduced) RT are unknown. BV + AVD results are comparable, if not superior, to ABVD for patients with stage III/IV HL. Phase III comparison has opened. BV has been shown effective in relapsing/refractory patients including those failing transplant. It is being incorporated into many strategies for the rx of ‘difficult’ HL pts. The overall results with ABVD are at least equal to BEACOPP with less toxicity. Interim PET scans may prove valuable in the rx strategies for HL.
