6 Frontline BR vs R-CHOP/R-CVP in Advanced Indolent NHL (The BRIGHT Study): Study Design
Bendamustine 90 mg/m2 Day 1 and 2 Rituximab 375 mg/m2 on D1 q28d (6-8 cycles); n=224 Frontline advanced indolent NHL (Preassignment of chemo arms by investigator) Primary: Noninferiority of CR for BR vs standard treatment (IWG criteria); independent and investigator review) R-CHOP and R-CVP: std dosing q21d (6-8 cycles); n=223 447 randomized; 436 received treatment; 419 evaluable for efficacy Most patients completed 6 cycles of treatment Dose delays more common for BR-treated patients (35% vs 19%); dose reductions less common (22% vs 29%) Flinn et al. ASH 2012, Abstract 902

7 Frontline BR vs R-CVP or R-CHOP in Advanced Indolent NHL (The BRIGHT Study): Efficacy/Conclusions
CR Rates BR, % R-CVP/ R-CHOP, % Ratio (95% CI) P value Evaluable, IRC 31 25 1.25 ( ) 0.0225a Randomized, IRC 23 1.34 ( ) 0.0084a In NHL 27 1.16 ( ) 0.1289a In MCL 51 24 1.95 ( ) 0.0180b Randomized, Investigator 18 1.60 ( ) 0.0013b IRC, independent review committee. aTest for noninferiority; bTest for superiority High ORRs were attained in both groups (94% BR vs 84% R-CVP/R-CHOP) BR shows CR rate that is non-inferior to that of R-CHOP/R-CVP MCL: BR produced significantly higher CR rate AE profile of BR was distinct from R-CHOP/R-CVP Flinn et al. ASH 2012, Abstract 902

ASH 2012, Abstract 156

14 Ibrutinib in Relapsed FL: Efficacy
Efficacy (n=16) n (%) 1.25 mg/kg/d (n=4 FL) ≥ 2.5 mg/kg/d (n=11 FL) ≥ 5.0 mg/kg/d (n=9 FL) ORR 7 (44) 25% 55% 56% CR/CRu 3 (19) 27% 33% PR 4 (25) 22% Median DR, mo 12.3 NE 10.3 Median time to first response, mo (range) 4.7 (2-12) Median time to first PR, mo (range) 4.6 (2-11) Median time to first CR, mo (range) 11.5 (5-12) Median PFS, mo 13.4 19.6 Median OS, mo No deaths Median time on treatment = 7 mo (range, 0-29); Well-tolerated Dose of 5 mg/kg/day or higher recommended for phase II studies No cumulative toxicity with extended dosing Response improved with continued treatment in some pts Fowler et al. ASH 2012, Abstract 156

15 GS-1101+R vs GS-1101+B vs GS-1101+BR in iNHL: Results/Conclusions
Lack of overlapping toxicities allows the oral PI3Kδ inhibitor, GS-1101, to be delivered at the full single-agent starting dose (150 mg BID) when co-administered with BR in heavily pretreated indolent NHL patients Highly active and generally well tolerated in hard-to-treat patients, inducing Profound reductions in lymphadenopathy ; (ORR 71%-88%; CR 20%-29%) Durable clinical benefit with median DR and PFS not yet reached Phase 3 trials should be pursued evaluating these 3 regimens Fowler et al. ASH 2012, Abstract 3645

23 Brentuximab Vedotin in Rel/Ref CD30+ Heme Malignancies Rothe (German Hodgkin Study Group) et al
Retrospective analysis of CD30+ refractory or relapsed HL or relapsed ALCL without prior high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and autologous SCT (German Hodgkin Study Group) Response (revised IWG) OS – time from initiation of therapy to death from any cause PFS – time from initiation to progression, relapse, or death Brentuximab vedotin 1.8mg/kg body weight; 30-min infusion; every 3 weeks Retrospective analysis supports previously reported therapeutic efficacy of brentuximab vedotin in patients with heavily pretreated CD30+ malignancies 69% ORR (31% CR); 22% PFS and 68% OS at 12 months Presents the first data indicating therapeutic efficacy of brentuximab vedotin as reinduction therapy in chemotherapy-refractory HL and ALCL patients before HDCT and ASCT Broadens spectrum of reinduction treatment that can be used before HDCT/ASCT in primary refractory HL and ALCL patients who may be ineligible Rothe et al. ASH 2012, Abstract 2743

24 Frontline Romidepsin + CHOP in PTCL (Ro-CHOP):
Romidepsin: Starting dose 10 mg/m2 days 1 and 8 + CHOP: Cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2 day 1 Doxorubicin 50 mg/m2 day 1 Vincristine 1,4 mg/m2 day 1 Prednisone 40 mg/m2 days 1 – 5 Phase Ib Previously untreated, biopsy-proven PTCL (N=18) 3 + 3 design; DLT considered in first 2 cycles Safety, efficacy, tolerability Romidepsin can be combined with CHOP with manageable heme toxicity Some cardiovascular events were observed but the relationship with romidepsin was questionable Romidepsin dose of 12 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 currently under evaluation in phase II extension of the study (close to accrual) Response rates seemed promising (78% ORR; 57% CR), but longer follow-up is needed Dupuis et al. ASH 2012, Abstract 1617

25 Phase II Study of Mogamulizumab in CTCL/PTCL
Mogumulizumab (KW-0761): humanized anti-CCR4 mAb (potent ADCC) Phase I in CCR4-positive T-cell malignancies: well-tolerated; encouraging efficacy Phase II in CCR4-positive ATLL: 50% ORR (approved for Rx of ATLL in Japan in 2012) Phase I/IIa prev Rx’d CTCL (US): 37% ORR Current study: Phase II study for relapsed CCR4-positive CTCL and PTCL (Japan) Multicenter; primary end-point = ORR; 8 weekly infusions Results: See Table; n=37 assessable; severe AE’s: 14 (in 7 pts); polymyositis, CMV retinitis Conclusion: Mogamulizumab mono Rx has promising antitumor activity in r/r PTCL/CTCL Ishida et al. ASH 2012, Abstract 795

26 New directions in the treatment of NHL in 2013
The successful use of novel targeted agents in NHL is inducing a paradigm shift in attitudes toward treatment: Therapeutic goals are moving from palliation of indolent NHL to Rx approaches that result in durable CRs Therapeutic principles are changing and novel targeted agents are being incorporated into upfront and salvage settings and yielding improved outcomes (esp in poor-risk patients) Continued development and testing of novel targeted agents will result in higher cure rates of NHL in the foreseeable future 26
