We hypothesised that zanubrutinib, a highly selective next-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, would be a safe and active treatment for patients intolerant of ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, or both. We aimed to assess whether zanubrutinib would prolong treatment duration by minimising treatment-related toxicities and discontinuations in patients with previously treated B-cell malignancies.This ongoing, phase 2, multicentre, open-label, single-arm study was done in 20 centres in the USA. Patients aged 18 or older with previously treated B-cell malignancies (chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, Waldenström macroglobulinaemia, or marginal zone lymphoma) who became intolerant of ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, or both, were orally administered zanubrutinib 160 mg twice daily or 320 mg once daily per investigator. The primary endpoint was recurrence and change in severity of ibrutinib or acalabrutinib intolerance events based on investigator-assessed adverse events. Secondary endpoints were investigator-assessed overall response rate; duration of response; disease control rate; and progression-free survival. Analyses included all patients who received any dose of the study drug. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04116437.Between Oct 14, 2019, and Sept 8, 2021, 67 patients (36 [54%] men and 31 [46%] women) who were intolerant of ibrutinib (n=57; cohort 1) or of acalabrutinib or acalabrutinib and ibrutinib (n=10; cohort 2) were enrolled. 63 (94%) patients were White, one (2%) had multiple ethnicities, and three (5%) had unreported or unknown ethnicity. Most intolerance events (81 [70%] of 115 for ibrutinib; 15 [83%] of 18 for acalabrutinib) did not recur with zanubrutinib. Of the recurring events, seven (21%) of 34 ibrutinib intolerance events and two (67%) of three acalabrutinib intolerance events recurred at the same severity with zanubrutinib; 27 (79%) ibrutinib intolerance events and one (33%) acalabrutinib intolerance event recurred at a lower severity with zanubrutinib. No events recurred at higher severity. No grade 4 intolerance events recurred. 64 (96%) of 67 patients had one or more adverse events with zanubrutinib; the most common adverse events were contusion (in 15 [22%] of 67 patients), fatigue (14 [21%]), myalgia (ten [15%]), arthralgia (nine [13%]), and diarrhoea (nine [13%]). Atrial fibrillation occurred in three (4%) patients (all grade 2). Eight (12%) of 67 patients had serious adverse events (anaemia, atrial fibrillation, bronchitis, COVID-19, COVID-19 pneumonia, febrile neutropenia, salmonella gastroenteritis, transfusion reaction, trigeminal nerve disorder, and urinary tract infection). No treatment-related deaths occurred. The median follow-up time was 12·0 months (IQR 8·2-15·6). Among the 64 efficacy-evaluable patients, disease control rate was 93·8% (60; 95% CI 84·8-98·3) and overall response rate was 64·1% (41; 95% CI 51·1-75·7). The median duration of response was not reached; the 12-month event-free duration of response rate was 95·0% (95% CI 69·5-99·3). Similarly, median progression-free survival was not reached; 18-month progression-free survival was 83·8% (95% CI 62·6-93·6).Patients intolerant of previous BTK inhibitors have limited treatment options. These results suggest that zanubrutinib, a safe and viable treatment for patients with B-cell malignancies, might fill that unmet need for those who exhibit intolerance to ibrutinib or acalabrutinib.BeiGene.

Background: Umbralisib is an oral, once-daily, novel, dual inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase-delta (PI3Kδ) and casein kinase-1ε (CK1ε) that exhibits improved selectivity for the delta isoform of PI3K. Ublituximab is a novel anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody glycoengineered for enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity that targets a unique epitope on CD20. U2 has been well-tolerated and demonstrated promising activity in heavily pre-treated CLL patients. Herein, results are presented for the randomized, multicenter, Phase 3 UNITY-CLL trial (NCT02612311), which evaluated U2 vs O+Chl in patients with TN and R/R CLL. Methods: Patients ≥18 years of age with treatment-naïve (TN) or relapsed/refractory (R/R) CLL requiring treatment per iwCLL criteria with adequate organ function and ECOG PS ≤2 were eligible. Stratification factors included treatment status (TN vs R/R) and del(17p) status. Patients were initially randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive U2, O+Chl, umbralisib monotherapy, or ublituximab monotherapy. Following establishment of contribution comparing U2 to the single agents, patients were randomized 1:1 to U2 or O+Chl. Umbralisib was given orally at 800 mg once-daily until progression or removal from treatment for other reasons. Ublituximab was administered intravenously at 900 mg on Days 1/2 [split 150/750 mg], 8, and 15 of Cycle 1, Day 1 of Cycles 2 - 6, and on Day 1 every 3 cycles after Cycle 6. O was given intravenously at 1000 mg on Days 1/2 [split 100/900], 8, and 15 of Cycle 1, and Day 1 of Cycles 2 - 6. Chl was given orally at 0.5 mg/kg on Day 1 and 15 of Cycles 1 - 6. Each cycle was 28 days. The primary endpoint was independent review committee (IRC)-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) of U2 vs O+Chl. Key secondary endpoints included IRC-assessed overall response rate (ORR), complete response (CR), undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD), duration of response (DOR), and safety (assessed from the first dose until 30 days after the last dose of study medication in each arm) as well as contribution of umbralisib and ublituximab to the U2 combination. Results: From Feb 2016 - Oct 2017, 421 pts were randomized to the U2 (n=210) or O+Chl (n=211) arms. The median age was 67 y (range, 36-91); 57% of patients (n=240) were treatment-naïve; 43% (n=181) had R/R CLL (median number of prior treatments = 1); 10% had del(17p), 20% del(11q), and 56% were IgHV unmutated. 66% were male. Demographics were well-balanced between treatment arms. At a median follow-up of 36.2 mos, U2 significantly prolonged PFS vs O+Chl (median 31.9 mos vs 17.9 mos; HR 0.546, 95% CI 0.413-0.720, P The median treatment duration was 23 mos for U2 (range, 0.1 - 49 mos) and 5 mos (range, 0.1 - 7 mos) for O+Chl. G3/4 AEs of interest regardless of causality (U2 vs O+Chl) included neutropenia (30.6% vs 34.7%), thrombocytopenia (3.4% vs 13.1%), diarrhea (12.1% vs 2.5%), infusion related reaction (1.9% vs 3.5%), elevated AST/ALTs (8.3% vs 2%), colitis (3.4% vs 0%) and pneumonitis (2.9% vs 0%). AEs led to treatment discontinuation in 34 patients (16.5%) on U2 and 16 patients (7.6%) on O+Chl. Conclusions: UNITY-CLL is the first randomized Phase 3 study in CLL of a PI3Ki vs. chemoimmunotherapy, and the first randomized study of a PI3Ki in treatment-naive CLL. U2 exhibited a well-tolerated safety profile, and significantly improved PFS vs. standard of care chemoimmunotherapy in patients with treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory CLL.

Background: The median age at diagnosis of patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is 70 years, which presents unique challenges for disease management, as these patients have more comorbidities and often require multiple concomitant medications. While some baseline characteristics (e.g., history of cardiovascular or bleeding issues) may create potential risk for significant medical events, others (e.g., hypertension, joint pain) threaten the ability of patients to stay on long-term continuous BTKi, compromising optimal therapeutic benefit. The tolerability of Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) can be suboptimal in these patients, emphasizing the need for novel non-chemotherapy regimens with a differentiated risk profile. The combination of umbralisib and ublituximab (U2) demonstrated superior progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response rates (ORR) compared to chemoimmunotherapy in the primary analysis of the randomized, multicenter, Phase 3 UNITY-CLL trial (NCT02612311) (Gribben et al. 2020). Herein, an analysis was conducted of patients treated with U2 on UNITY-CLL who had a pre-existing comorbidity or concomitant medication that could potentially preclude the use of BTKi. Methods: Patients ≥18 years of age with CLL who were treatment-naïve (TN) or previously treated (PT) requiring treatment per iwCLL criteria with adequate organ function and ECOG PS ≤2 were eligible. Patients were initially randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive U2, obinutuzumab+chlorambucil (O+Chl), umbralisib monotherapy, or ublituximab monotherapy. Stratification factors included treatment status (TN vs. PT) and deletion 17p (del17p) status. Umbralisib was given orally at 800 mg once daily until progression or removal from treatment for other reasons. Ublituximab was administered intravenously at 900 mg on Days 1/2 [split 150/750 mg], 8, and 15 of Cycle 1, Day 1 of Cycles 2-6, and on Day 1 every 3 cycles after Cycle 6. The primary endpoint was independent review committee (IRC)-assessed PFS of U2 compared to O+Chl. Key secondary endpoints included IRC-assessed ORR, complete response, undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD), duration of response, and safety, assessed from the first dose until 30 days after the last dose of study medication. BTKi risk factors were defined by the comorbidities and concomitant medication categories listed in Table 1 and include pre-existing arrythmias, cardiovascular dysfunction, history of major bleeding, hypertension, and joint pain. Results: In the UNITY-CLL study, 206 subjects with CLL received treatment with U2. Among these patients, the median age was 67 years, 9% had del17p, 54% had unmutated IGHV, and 57% were TN. Among these patients, 131 (63.6%) met at least 1 BTKi risk factor criteria (Table 1). Among patients with BTKi risk factors, the median age was slightly higher at 69 years, 11% had del17p, 56% were unmutated IGHV, and 57% were TN. At a median follow-up of 36.7 months, 40% remain on U2 as compared to 37% for the entire U2 population. The median PFS for patients with a BTKi risk factor was equivalent to the entire U2 population at 31.9 months, and a similar ORR (88% vs 83%, difference not statistically significant) was observed in this population as compared to the overall U2 population. In terms of safety, there were no differences in the incidences of SAEs, grade ≥3 AEs, fatal AEs, or discontinuations due to AEs. Conclusions: Patients with BTKi risk factors attained durable clinical benefit from U2. In this population with BTKi risk factors, the baseline disease characteristics aligned with the overall population treated with U2, and efficacy and safety outcomes did not appear to be negatively impacted by the presence of comorbidities or the use of concomitant medications. These data suggest that U2 can be a valuable treatment option for patients with these conditions. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Background: Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) are important tools to treat B-cell malignancies. However, duration of treatment may be limited by adverse events (AEs). Zanubrutinib (zanu) is a BTKi approved for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and is in development for other hematologic malignancies. Data from phase 3 head-to-head trials of zanu vs ibrutinib (ibr) in pts with Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) or chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) demonstrated that pts treated with zanu showed lower rates of AEs leading to discontinuation (Blood 2020;136(18):2038-50; EHA 2021 LB1900). Preliminary results from BGB-3111-215 (NCT04116437) show that zanu was well-tolerated in pts who discontinued ibr and/or acalabrutinib (acala) treatment due to AEs (EHA 2021 EP642). Here, we report updated results from the BGB-3111-215 study with a median follow-up of 9 months. Methods: This study is an ongoing US, phase 2, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study. The safety and efficacy of zanu monotherapy (160 mg twice daily or 320 mg once daily) were evaluated in pts with B-cell malignancies who met criteria for continued treatment after having become intolerant to prior BTKi therapy. Pts were divided into cohort 1 (pts who were intolerant to ibr only) and cohort 2 (pts who were intolerant to acala alone/and ibr). Pts with documented progressive disease (PD) on prior BTKi therapy were excluded. Efficacy and safety, including recurrence of intolerant AEs to the prior BTKi, were evaluated. AEs were assessed for severity, seriousness, and relation to zanu; as well as dose reductions, holds, or discontinuations. Response was assessed by investigators based on response criteria for their respective indications (Blood 2008;131:2745; J Clin Oncol 2012;30:2820; J Clin Oncol 2014;32:3059; Br J Haemtol 2013;160:171). Disease parameters from study entry were the baseline for response assessment. Mutational analysis was performed on pts who discontinued treatment, and data will be shared once available. To support clinical findings, kinase selectivity was assessed using Kinome profiling at 100X IC50 (against BTK) for zanu, ibr, acala and its major metabolite, M27 (Reaction Biology Corp). Results: As of 7 June 2021 (data cutoff), 57 pts (n=44 CLL/SLL; n=9 WM; n=2 MCL; n=2 marginal zone lymphoma [MZL]) were enrolled in cohort 1, and 7 pts were enrolled in cohort 2 (n=4 CLL; n=1 WM; n=1 MCL; n=1 MZL). All received ≥1 dose of zanu and were analyzed for safety. The median age was 71 years (range, 49-91) in cohort 1 and 71 years (range, 65-76) in cohort 2; median duration of treatment was 8.7 months (range, 0.6-17.9) in cohort 1 and 8.2 months (range, 6.4-11.4) in cohort 2; median number of prior regimens was 1 (range, 1-12) in cohort 1 and 3 (range, 2-5) in cohort 2. Within cohort 2, 5 pts were intolerant to both ibr and acala. Median number of intolerant events per pt for both cohorts 1 and 2 was 2 (range, 1-5). Overall, 73% of pts did not experience recurrence of their ibr or acala intolerant events and 79% of recurrent events recurred at a lower severity (Figure 1). At cutoff, 54 pts remained on treatment. Reasons for treatment discontinuation were AEs (n=4), PD (n=4), physician's decision (n=1), and consent withdrawal (n=1). Grade ≥3 AEs were reported in 18 pts (28%), and serious AEs occurred in 7 pts (11%). AEs requiring dose interruptions occurred in 17 pts (27%), and AEs leading to dose reduction occurred in 3 pts (5%). One death, due to COVID-19, was reported. Pts demonstrated maintained (41%) and improved (53%) response with zanu treatment from their reported best overall response on prior BTKis for a total disease control rate of 94% (including a 42% partial response rate in pts with CLL/SLL, 30% in pts with WM, and a 20% very good partial response rate in pts with WM). Zanu also demonstrated good selectivity by kinase profiling. It showed >50% inhibition on 7/370 kinases, while ibr, acala, and M27 had more off-target binding (17, 15 and 23 kinases, respectively) at their respective 100X IC50 (BTK) concentrations (Figure 2). Conclusion: In pts with B-cell malignancies intolerant to ibr and/or acala, zanu treatment resulted in continued disease control or improved response. Zanu was well-tolerated, and most AEs that led to discontinuation of previous BTKi therapy did not recur or recurred at a lower grade. In support of clinical findings, differentiation between BTKi selectivity profiles favor zanu over ibr and acala. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Background: Umbralisib, a selective PI3Kδ and casein kinase-1epsilon (CK1ε) inhibitor, is pharmacologically distinct from other PI3K inhibitors and is administered orally once daily. Ublituximab is a novel anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody glycoengineered for enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity that targets a unique epitope on CD20. The primary analysis of the randomized, multicenter, Phase 3 UNITY-CLL trial (NCT02612311) demonstrated that the umbralisib+ublituximab (U2) combination prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) compared to chemoimmunotherapy in both treatment-naïve (TN) and previously treated (PT) populations (Gribben et al. 2020). Herein, results are presented for patients treated with U2 by treatment status. Methods: Patients ≥18 years of age with TN or PT CLL requiring treatment, per iwCLL criteria with adequate organ function and ECOG PS ≤2, were eligible. Patients were initially randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive U2, obinutuzumab+chlorambucil (O+Chl), umbralisib monotherapy, or ublituximab monotherapy. Stratification factors included treatment status (treatment-naïve vs. previously treated) and deletion 17p status. Umbralisib was administered orally at 800 mg once daily until progression or removal from treatment for other reasons. Ublituximab was administered intravenously at 900 mg on Days 1/2 [split 150/750 mg], 8, and 15 of Cycle 1, Day 1 of Cycles 2 - 6, and on Day 1 every 3 cycles after Cycle 6. The primary endpoint was independent review committee (IRC)-assessed PFS of U2 compared to O+Chl. Key secondary endpoints included IRC-assessed overall response rate (ORR), complete response, undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD), duration of response, and safety, assessed from the first dose until 30 days after the last dose of study medication. While the primary analysis reported results for the pooled intent-to-treat population, the current analysis focuses on outcomes in patients treated with U2 by treatment status. Results: At data cut-off date of May 1, 2020, U2-treated patients had a median follow-up of 35.27 months. Of the 210 patients treated with U2, 119 were TN and 91 were PT. TN patients had a median age of 68 years (39 - 88 years) and 63% were male. Median PFS for U2 in TN patients was 38.5 mos (95% CI, 33.2, NE) with an estimated 24-mo PFS rate of 76.6%. IRC-assessed ORR was 84.0% (95% CI, 77.5%-90.6%). The median duration of exposure to umbralisib and ublituximab was 26.5 and 29.5 mos, respectively. In TN patients, AEs of special interest (AESI) of grade ≥3 included: neutropenia (24.1%), diarrhea (13.8%), ALT increased (12.1%), AST increased (7.8%), non-infectious colitis (2.6%), infusion-related reaction (IRR, 0.9%), and pneumonitis (0.9%). Discontinuation of either study drug due to these grade ≥3 AESI occurred in 5.2% (neutropenia), 2.6% (diarrhea), 3.4% (ALT increase), 1.7% (AST increase), 1.7% (colitis), 0.9% (IRR), and 0.9% (pneumonitis) of patients. PT patients had a median of 2 prior (1 - 9) lines of therapy, the median age was 65 years (43 - 87 years) and 65.9% were male. Median PFS was 19.5 mos (95% CI, 14.6-27.7) with an estimated 24-mo PFS rate of 41.3%. The IRC-assessed ORR was 82.4% (95% CI, 74.6%-90.2%). Among 14 patients previously treated with ibrutinib, the ORR was 57%. The median duration of exposure to umbralisib and ublituximab were 15.6 mos and 14.6 mos, respectively. In PT patients, AESI of grade ≥3 included: neutropenia (40.0%), diarrhea (10.0%), IRR (3.3%), ALT increase (3.3%), AST increase (2.2%), and non-infectious colitis (2.2%). Discontinuation of either study drug due to these grade ≥3 AESI occurred in 1.1% (ALT increase), 1.1% (AST increase), and 1.1% (colitis) of patients. Conclusions: U2 demonstrated a tolerable safety profile in both the TN and PT populations. These results mark the first randomized Phase 3 trial of a PI3K in TN CLL, establishing a new mechanism of action in this setting.

Background: Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors (BTKi) have been shown to improve outcomes in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL); however, adverse events (AEs) were the most common reason for ibrutinib and acalabrutinib discontinuation (median time ≤6 mo; Mato et al, Haematologica 2018;103:874; Yazdy et al, Blood 2019; Supplement1: 4311). Off-target effects of ibrutinib have been implicated in BTKi-related AEs. Zanubrutinib, a BTKi approved for treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and in development for other hematologic malignancies, was specifically engineered to optimize selectivity and maximize BTK occupancy. In the head-to-head ASPEN trial of zanubrutinib vs ibrutinib in patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM), zanubrutinib showed a lower rate of AEs leading to death, discontinuation, dose reduction, and dose holds (Dimopoulos et al, EHA 2020; Abstract S225). We conducted a prospective clinical trial of zanubrutinib in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies who have become intolerant to prior BTKi (ibrutinib and/or acalabrutinib) therapy. Methods : In this ongoing phase 2, multicenter, US, single-arm, open-label study (NCT04116437; BGB-3111-215), the safety and efficacy of zanubrutinib monotherapy (160 mg twice daily or 320 mg once daily) is being evaluated in patients with B-cell malignancies who meet requirements for treatment and have become intolerant to prior BTKi therapy. An intolerant event was defined as an unacceptable toxicity where, in the opinion of the investigator (INV), treatment should be discontinued despite optimal supportive care as a result of 1 of the following: grade ≥2 nonhematologic toxicities for >7 days (with or without treatment), grade ≥3 nonhematologic toxicity of any duration, grade 3 neutropenia with infection or fever, or grade 4 hematologic toxicity that persists to the point that the INV chose to stop therapy due to toxicity and not disease progression (PD). All enrolled patients must not have documented PD during prior BTKi therapy. Response assessment was evaluated by INV for CLL per modified International Workshop on CLL criteria (Hallek et al, Blood 2008;131:2745; Cheson et al, J Clin Oncol 2012;30:2820), for SLL, MCL, and marginal zone lymphoma per Lugano criteria (Cheson et al, J Clin Oncol 2014;32:3059), and for WM per modified 6th International Workshop on WM criteria (Owen et al, Br J Haemtol 2013;160:171). Disease parameters (imaging and laboratory parameters) performed at study entry were used as the baseline for response assessment. Results : As of 01 June 2020 (data cutoff), 17 patients with CLL/SLL were enrolled, received ≥1 dose of zanubrutinib, and were analyzed for safety. Median age was 70 years (range, 49-91) and median duration of treatment exposure was 3.02 mo (range, 0.56-7.59). The median number of prior regimens was 1 (range, 1-3). All patients had received ibrutinib. At data cut off, no patients had received acalabrutinib. At data cutoff, 16 patients remained on zanubrutinib treatment. One patient withdrew herself from the study following an AE (grade 3 syncope) unrelated, as per INV, to study treatment. Of the 31 BTKi-related AEs associated with intolerance (Table 1), 30 (96.8%) did not recur, and 1 event (3.2%; atrial fibrillation) recurred at a lower grade (grade 3 vs 2) and for a shorter duration (14 vs 3 days) vs the initial ibrutinib-intolerant event. Ten patients (58.8%) reported ≥1 AE. AEs reported in ≥10% of patients on zanubrutinib included dizziness (n=3; 17.6%) and cough (n=2; 11.8%). Grade ≥3 AEs were reported in 2 patients (11.8%): neutropenia and syncope (n=1 each; 5.9%). AEs of interest included hemorrhage and infections (n=3 each, 17.6%) and anemia, neutropenia, and atrial fibrillation (n=1 each; 5.9%). No AEs led to dose modification or treatment discontinuation. No serious AEs or deaths were reported. As of data cutoff, 10 patients were evaluable for efficacy with ≥1 response assessment. All 10 patients achieved at least stable disease, and 60% of these patients achieved a deepening of response since initiating zanubrutinib. Enrollment is ongoing and the presentation will include additional patients. Conclusions : Zanubrutinib demonstrated efficacy and tolerability in CLL/SLL patients who were intolerant to previous BTKi. These data suggest that zanubrutinib may provide a potential option after intolerance to other BTKi.

e19506 Background: Many patients (pts) with B-cell malignancies require continuous treatment with Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi). Adverse events (AEs) are a common reason for ibrutinib (ibr) or acalabrutinib (acala) discontinuation. Early data from BGB-3111-215 showed zanubrutinib (zanu) was well tolerated in pts with B-cell malignancies intolerant to ibr or acala. We report preliminary results with a median follow-up of 4.2 mo. Methods: Pts meeting protocol criteria for intolerance to ibr, acala or both (without documented progressive disease) were given zanu monotherapy (160 mg twice daily or 320 mg once daily). Recurrence of AEs that led to intolerance of prior BTKi and additional safety measures were assessed based on the Common Terminology Criteria for AEs v5.0. Investigators determined responses using disease status at study entry as baseline. Results: As of November 1, 2020 (cutoff), 44 pts (n=34 chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma, n=6 Waldenström macroglobulinemia, n=2 mantle cell lymphoma, n=2 marginal zone lymphoma) were enrolled, received ≥1 dose of zanu, and analyzed for safety. Median age was 70.5 y (range, 49-91); median duration of treatment was 4.2 mo (range, 0.1-12.6). Median number of prior regimens was 2 (range, 1-12). Regarding prior BTKi, 39 pts received ibr only, 4 received ibr and acala, and 1 received acala only. The median number of ibr- or acala-intolerant AEs per pt was 2 (range, 1-5). 83% of ibr and 78% of acala intolerant events did not reccur on zanu; Table. At data cutoff, 43 pts remained on treatment; 1 withdrew consent due to zanu-unrelated grade 3 syncope. Overall, 34 pts (77.3%) reported any AE; most commonly reported AEs were myalgia (n=9; 20.5%), contusion (n=8; 18.2%), dizziness (n=7; 15.9%), fatigue (n=7; 15.9%), and cough (n=5; 11.4%). Grade ≥3 AEs were reported in 6 pts (13.6%), serious AEs in 1 pt (2.3%, febrile neutropenia and salmonella infection), AEs requiring dose interruptions in 6 pts (13.6%), and AEs leading to dose reduction in 2 pts (4.5%). No AEs led to zanu discontinuation. No deaths were reported. All efficacy evaluable pts (26/26 [100%]) maintained (10 [38.5%]) or achieved deepening (16 [61.5%]) of their response. Conclusions: Zanu provides an additional treatment option after intolerance to other BTKi, demonstrating tolerability and sustained or improved efficacy. Updated results will be presented. Recurrence and Severity Change of AEs Leading to Ibr or Acala Intolerance. Clinical trial information: NCT04116437. [Table: see text]

Curcumin, the active ingredient of turmeric (curry spice), is believed to be associated with reducing the incidence of breast cancers in Asian countries. Anti-cancer efficacy of curcumin and analogs has been tested in pre-clinical studies in some cancer models including breast cancer. These studies reported promising results in inhibiting human cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenesis in animal models. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that curcumin and its analogs target critical genes associated with angiogenesis, apoptosis, cell cycle, and metastasis. The inhibition of human breast cancer cell growth by curcumin is mediated via certain signaling cascades including the modulation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. Epidemiological and experimental data also demonstrated the efficacy of curcumin in chemoprevention and reversing chemo-resistance of tumors of certain cancers. This review summarizes the studies revealing the preventive and therapeutic effects of curcumin and its analogs with an emphasis on multi-targeted biological and molecular effects in a breast cancer model.

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are commonly dysregulated in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) and have a central role in the development and progression of the disease. HDAC is a family of enzymes involved in deacetylation of lysine residues on histone and non-histone proteins. Deacetylation of histone proteins leads to compaction of the DNA/histone complex resulting in inhibition of gene expression. Deacetylation of non-histone proteins can affect the stability and function of key proteins leading to dysregulation of cellular signaling pathways. HDAC inhibitors have been shown to potentiate the antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects of several cytotoxic agents, in vitro and in vivo PA xenograft models.The areas covered include the biology and function of the HDAC isoenzymes and their significant role in multiple oncogenic pathways in PA. Preclinical and clinical trials evaluating HDAC inhibitors are also reviewed.Despite discouraging early phase clinical trials evaluating HDAC inhibitors in PA, this strategy deserves further evaluation guided by better preclinical studies in identifying the role of specific HDAC isoenzyme inhibitors in PA. Evaluation of the effects of HDAC inhibitors on PA stem cell function and epithelial to mesenchymal transformation is also an evolving area that holds future potential for these agents. Such preclinical studies will yield insight into the functionality of HDAC isoenzymes, which can then be translated into rationally designed clinical trials. One such strategy could focus on HDAC inhibition employed in combination with proteasome inhibition targeting the aggresome pathway in PA.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a deadly disease that is intractable to currently available treatment regimens. Although well described in different tumors types, the importance of apoptosis inducer prostate apoptosis response-4 (Par-4) in PC has not been appreciated. PC is an oncogenic kras driven disease, which is known to downregulate Par-4. Therefore, this review highlights its significance and builds a strong case supporting the role of Par-4 as a possible therapeutic target in PC.Literature-based evidence spanning the last 15 years on Par-4 and its significance in PC.This review provides comprehensive knowledge of the significance of Par-4 and its association with kras status in PC, along with the crosstalk with crucial resistance and survival molecules NF-kappaB and Bcl-2 that ultimately are responsible for the overall poor outcome of different therapeutic approaches in this disease.Par-4 holds promise as a potential therapeutic target that can be induced by chemopreventive agents and small-molecule inhibitors either alone or in combination with standard chemotherapeutics leading to selective apoptosis in PC cells. It also acts as a chemosensitizer and therefore warrants further clinical investigations in this disease.

The recognition of the high prevalence and the independent prognostic role of anemia in heart failure (HF) has contributed to intensification of the search for an effective treatment. A central role of erythropoietin in cardiorenal anemia syndrome has been proposed. Several clinical trials have established the safety and efficacy of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents in correcting anemia in patients with HF. The recognition of the pleiotropic effect of erythropoietin has expanded targets of therapy. The ongoing outcomes trial with darbepoetin alfa will determine the role of this novel therapy in the treatment of HF.

Genistein is a soy-derived biologically active isoflavone that exhibits diverse health-promoting effects. An increasing body of evidence shows that genistein influences lipid homeostasis and insulin resistance, counteracts inflammatory cytokines, and possesses antidiabetic properties. Genistein also impedes cancer progression by promoting apoptosis, inducing cell cycle arrest, modulating intracellular signaling pathways, and inhibiting angiogenesis and metastasis of neoplastic cells. This review summarizes the pleiotropic functions of genistein in common health disorders such as metabolic syndrome, chronic inflammatory diseases, and cancer. In the current era of uncontrolled health expenditure, a focus on the clinical development of nutritional agents with the capacity to prevent a variety of common health disorders is needed. As a micronutrient that exerts multifaceted effects ranging from antidiabetic to anticarcinogenic functions, genistein should be clinically developed further for use in the prevention and treatment of a variety of health disorders.

In the last 30 years, the incidence of esophageal and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma has steadily increased. The increase in incidence is approximately seven-fold, which is a more substantial increase than that of several malignancies, including melanoma, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. The rising incidence has led to a steady increase in mortality from 2 to 15 deaths per 100,000 in the last three decades. The etiologic factors involved in the development of these malignancies include gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett’s esophagus, acid-suppressive medication use, obesity, and tobacco use. This article discusses the contribution of these etiologic risk factors to this increase in incidence.

Pancreatic cancer remains a formidable challenge for oncologists. The only curative option remains surgical resection in early-staged disease. Cytotoxic chemotherapy offers a modest survival benefit in the advanced or metastatic stage. Clinical trials of therapy have not yet yielded encouraging outcomes in advanced pancreatic cancer. In this review, we highlight recent developments in therapy focusing on trials conducted in the advanced or metastatic setting and offer insight into the challenges for future studies.

Neuroendocrine tumors comprise a spectrum of slow growing neoplasm, characterized by storage and secretion of variable peptides and neuroamines (Massironi et al., 2008). Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) are relatively rare, with an estimated incidence of less than 1 per 1000,000 individuals (Metz and Jensen, 2008). A recent review of surveillance epidemiology and end results (SEER) (1950-2007) database reported the frequency of PNET to be around 7% among all identified neuroendocrine tumors (Lawrence et al., 2011a). Furthermore, they comprise 1-2% of all pancreatic neoplasms (Metz and Jensen, 2008). However, the incidence is considered to be increasing , perhaps in part due to improved diagnostic capabilities. Median overall survival in PNET ranges from more than 10 years in localized disease to approximately 2 years in metastatic disease (Yao et al., 2008a). Recently, considerable headway has been made in the realm of therapeutics. Therefore, it is imperative that oncologists today have a heightened awareness of this disease entity in order to provide effective care.

326 Background: NET are a group of diverse malignancies observed commonly in the gastrointestinal tract. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNET) have been reported to have worse outcomes as compared to neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract (GNET). Our objective was to compare the clinical characteristics, patterns of treatment and survival in PanNET and GNET. Methods: After IRB approval, we identified 379 patients (pts) from 1996-2011 in the Winship registry. A chart review was done. Patients were categorized in mutually exclusive groups of PanNET and GNET. Results: Demographic information and basic characteristics are listed in the table. Treatment modalities for PanNET included surgery (91%), chemotherapy (14%), biologics (sunitinib or everolimus)(6%) and somatostatin analogues (11%). Liver directed therapies were employed in 30 pts with PanNET. Most common modality was radiofrequency ablation (23 pts) followed by Yttrium-90 embolization (5 pts) and chemoembolization (2 pt).Treatment for GNET included surgery (78%), chemotherapy (11%) and somatostatin analogues (17%). Median survival for GNET (all stage) was 11.6 years and PanNET (all stage) was 10.5 years (p=0.063). Using multivariate analysis, only age at diagnosis (p

e14692 Background: NET are relatively uncommon malignancies with variable natural history and often indolent clinical behavior. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) have been reported to have worse outcomes as compared to neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract other than pancreatic (GNET). The objective of our study was to compare the clinicopathologic characteristics, presentation, treatment and survival outcomes in PNET and GNET. Methods: After IRB approval, we identified 125 patients (pts) with NET of the gastrointestinal tract from 2006-2011 in the Winship Institute cancer registry. A retrospective chart review was performed. Patients were categorized in mutually exclusive groups of PNET and GNET. Results: Demographic information and comparison of basic characteristics are listed in the table. Treatment modalities employed for PNET included surgery (72%), chemotherapy (30%), biological therapy (13%) and somatostatin analogues (11%). Liver-directed therapies were employed for hepatic metastases in 9 pts with PNET. Most common modality was radiofrequency ablation (4 pts) followed by Yttrium-90 embolization (3 pts), chemoembolization (1 pt) and bland embolization (1 pt). Majority of GNET were of midgut origin (47%) followed by foregut (35%) and hidgut (13%). Treatment for GNET included surgery (64%), chemotherapy (11%) and somatostatin analogues (17%). 90% of pts in PNET and 89% in GNET were alive at median follow up of 82 months. Conclusions: Overall, pts with NET have good prognosis. In our series, patients with PNET and GNET, had comparable survival outcomes even in advanced stage. These patients should be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team as new therapies become available. [Table: see text]
