7559 Background: Patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who relapse after or are ineligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) or chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy generally have poor outcomes. Preclinical data provide the rationale for combining brentuximab vedotin (BV), lenalidomide (len), and rituximab for the treatment of R/R DLBCL. BV+len showed promising clinical activity in a Phase 1 trial with a 57% overall response rate (ORR), 10.2-month median progression-free survival, and 14.3-month overall survival (Ward 2021). We report the results of the open-label safety run-in that was conducted prior to the randomized portion of the study. Methods: ECHELON-3 (NCT04404283) is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, active-comparator, multicenter Phase 3 study. Prior to randomization, an open-label safety run-in was conducted; pts received BV (1.2 mg/kg) and rituximab (375 mg/m2) both q3w, and len 20 mg qd. Pts must have received ≥2 prior lines of therapy and be previously treated with or were ineligible for HSCT or CAR-T, ECOG score ≤2, and PET-avid, bidimensional measurable disease ( > 1.5 cm by CT). Pts with negligible CD30 expression ( < 1%) were eligible. Response was assessed by the investigator according to the Lugano Classification Revised Staging System (Cheson 2014). Results: 10 pts with R/R DLBCL were enrolled. Median age was 70.5 years, 7 pts were male, and all had an ECOG ≤1. Median prior lines of therapy was 3 (range, 2 to 6); no pts received prior HSCT and 6 pts received prior CAR-T. At a median follow-up of 6.9 months (range, 2.3 to 14.1), the most common treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) were fatigue (n = 5), anemia (n = 4) and constipation (n = 4). Grade ≥3 events were experienced by 8 pts, most commonly anemia and pneumonia (n = 3 each), and neutropenia and thrombocytopenia (n = 2 each). Serious adverse events were observed in 7 pts. Seven pts each had BV and rituximab dose modifications, and 6 pts had a len dose modification. The most common reasons for any dose modification were anemia (n = 3), neutropenia, peripheral neuropathy, or pneumonia (n = 2 each). 4 pts discontinued treatment due to an AE, 2 of which were treatment related (n = 1 each of Grade 2 fatigue; Grade 3 anemia). There was 1 death due to a TEAE that was not treatment related. The ORR (best response) was 70%, including 4 pts with a complete metabolic response, 2 pts with a partial metabolic response, and 3 pts with progressive disease. Responses were seen in both CD30 (+) and (-) pts, as well as in 4 pts who received prior CAR-T. Conclusions: This novel triplet regimen appears active in R/R DLBCL with an acceptable safety profile. The randomized portion of the study is currently enrolling. Clinical trial information: NCT04404283.

Background The ongoing US MM-6 study is investigating in-class transition (iCT) from parenteral bortezomib-based induction to all-oral ixazomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (ixazomib-Rd) with the aim of increasing proteasome inhibitor (PI)-based treatment adherence/duration while maintaining quality of life (QoL) and improving outcomes. Patients and Methods US community sites are enrolling non-transplant-eligible newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) patients with no evidence of progressive disease after 3 cycles of bortezomib-based therapy to receive ixazomib-Rd (up to 39 cycles or until progression/toxicity). Patients use mobile/wearable digital devices to collect actigraphy (activity/sleep) data and electronically complete QoL/treatment satisfaction/medication adherence questionnaires. Primary endpoint: progression-free survival (PFS); key secondary endpoints include response rates and therapy duration. Results At data cutoff, 84 patients had been treated (median age 73 years; 44% ≥ 75 years; 49% male; 15% black/African American; 10% Hispanic/Latino); 62% of patients remain on therapy. Mean duration of total PI therapy was 10.1 months and of ixazomib-Rd was 7.3 months. With 8 months median follow-up, 12-month PFS rate was 86% (95% confidence interval, 73–93) from both the start of bortezomib-based treatment and the start of ixazomib-Rd. Overall response rate was 62% (complete response [CR], 4%; very good partial response [VGPR], 25%; partial response [PR], 33%) after bortezomib-based induction and 70% (CR, 26%; VGPR, 29%; PR, 15%) after iCT. The ixazomib-Rd safety profile was consistent with previous clinical trial data. QoL/treatment satisfaction were maintained. Conclusion US MM-6 patients are representative of the real-world US MM population; iCT may permit prolonged PI-based therapy with promising efficacy, without impacting patients’ QoL/treatment satisfaction., Graphical abstract, While long-term proteasome inhibitor therapy improves outcomes in multiple myeloma, many patients cannot tolerate long-term treatment or may require/prefer to continue treatment outside the hospital/clinic. US MM-6 evaluates in-class transition from parenteral bortezomib- to oral ixazomib-based therapy in routine clinical practice. Preliminary results indicate feasibility, prolonged duration of therapy, and promising efficacy and treatment adherence/satisfaction.

Summary Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) mediates B‐cell receptor signalling in normal and malignant B cells. Entospletinib is an oral, selective Syk inhibitor. Entospletinib monotherapy was evaluated in a multicentre, phase 2 study of patients with relapsed or refractory indolent non‐Hodgkin lymphoma or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Subjects received 800 mg entospletinib twice daily. Forty‐one follicular lymphoma (FL), 17 lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma/Waldenström macroglobulinaemia (LPL/WM), 17 marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) and 39 MCL patients were evaluated. The primary endpoint was a progression‐free survival (PFS) rate (defined as not experiencing progression or death) at 16 weeks for patients with MCL and at 24 weeks for patients with FL, LPL/WM and MZL. The most common treatment‐emergent adverse events were fatigue, nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, headache and cough. Common laboratory abnormalities were anaemia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia; aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, total bilirubin and serum creatinine were all increased. PFS at 16 weeks in the MCL cohort was 63·9% [95% confidence interval (CI) 45–77·8%]; PFS at 24 weeks in the FL, LPL/WM, MCL and MZL cohorts was 51·5% (95% CI 32·8–67·4%), 69·8% (95% CI 31·8–89·4%), 56·6% (95% CI 37·5–71·8%) and 46·2% (95% CI 18·5–70·2%), respectively. Entospletinib had limited single‐agent activity with manageable toxicity in these patient populations.

Background The majority of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL who relapse after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, or who are not candidates for HSCT or CAR-T, have poor outcomes and need novel therapies (Crump 2017). Brentuximab vedotin (BV) was the first antibody-drug conjugate to be approved in multiple cancer types (Gauzy-Lazo 2020). The combination of a CD30-directed monoclonal antibody, a protease-cleavable linker, and the microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E drives the anticancer activity of BV by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis (Sutherland 2006). Lenalidomide may enhance the activity of BV through immune-mediated mechanisms. In a phase 1 trial (NCT02086604) in which 37 patients with R/R DLBCL were treated with BV + lenalidomide, the objective response rate (ORR) was 56.7% (73.3% in CD30+ patients). The median duration of remission was 13.2 months in patients with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) and 11.7 months in patients with a CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) >6 months. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 10.2 months and 14.3 months, respectively, and results were similar in the CD30+ and CD30 Study Design and Methods ECHELON-3 (NCT04404283) is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, active-comparator, multicenter phase 3 study designed to evaluate the efficacy of BV versus placebo, in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab, in patients with R/R DLBCL. Key eligibility criteria will include patients ≥18 years of age with R/R DLBCL with an eligible subtype, ≥2 prior lines of systemic therapy and ineligible for stem cell transplant or CAR-T therapy, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0 to 2, fluorodeoxyglucose-avid disease by positron emission tomography (PET), and bidimensional measurable disease of at least 1.5 cm by computed tomography (CT). Patients with a history of another malignancy within the past 2 years, any uncontrolled Grade ≥3 infection, Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy, or previous exposure to BV or lenalidomide will not be eligible. After completing the safety run-in period, patients (n=400) will be randomized 1:1 to receive either BV (1.2 mg/kg intravenously every 3 weeks [Q3W]) or placebo (intravenously Q3W) in combination with lenalidomide (20 mg orally daily) and rituximab (1400 mg subcutaneously Q3W from Cycle 2, with 375 mg/m 2 intravenously on Cycle 1 Day 1). Treatment may continue while there is clinical benefit (SD or better) without progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients will be stratified by CD30 expression (≥1% [positive] vs The dual primary endpoints are PFS per blinded independent central review (BICR) in the intention-to-treat (ITT) and CD30+ populations. Key secondary endpoints are OS in the ITT and CD30+ populations, and ORR per BICR. Other secondary endpoints include CR rate, duration of objective response, and safety and tolerability of the combination. Disease response will be assessed by BICR and the investigator according to the Lugano Classification Revised Staging System for nodal non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin lymphomas (Cheson 2014). Radiographic disease evaluations, including contrast-enhanced CT and PET, will be assessed at baseline, then every 6 weeks from randomization until Week 48, then every 12 weeks thereafter. PET is not required after CR is achieved For the analyses of PFS per BICR, the stratified log-rank test will be used to compare PFS between the 2 treatment groups. Hazard ratios will be estimated using the stratified Cox regression model. PFS will also be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier method. Similar methods will be used to estimate OS and other time-to-event efficacy endpoints. The study is currently enrolling and will be open in 16 countries.

Background Patients (pts) with relapsed/triple-class refractory (R/R; refractory to a proteasome inhibitor, immunomodulatory drug or anti-CD38 antibody) multiple myeloma (MM) have limited treatment options. A need remains for novel combination therapies with manageable toxicity and non-cross-resistant mechanisms of action. B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is expressed in most MM pt tumors. SEA-BCMA is an investigational, humanized, nonfucosylated IgG1 monoclonal anti-BCMA antibody. Proposed mechanisms of action of SEA-BCMA include blocking of BCMA-mediated pro-survival and proliferative signaling, mediating antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis, and displaying enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Preclinical data demonstrate promising antitumor activity and versatile combinability. Here, we present preliminary data from the first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial. Methods SGNBCMA-001 (NCT03582033) is an ongoing phase 1, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation and expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and antitumor activity of SEA-BCMA in adults with R/R MM not previously exposed to any other BCMA-directed therapy. Part A tested monotherapy safety and tolerability with dose escalation (100-1600 mg flat dosing once every 2 weeks [Q2W] by intravenous infusion), and dose expansion at the highest tolerated dose. Parts B and C aim to optimize efficacy by testing intensified dosing (Part B; weekly [Q1W] induction dosing of SEA BCMA for 8 weeks is followed by Q2W maintenance dosing) and dexamethasone (DEX) combination therapy (Part C) in pts who have received ≥3 prior lines of therapy for MM and are triple-class refractory. Responses are assessed per the 2016 International Myeloma Working Group criteria. Results As of June 15, 2021, Part A completed enrollment. A total of 55 pts received SEA-BCMA (see Table 1 for pt characteristics). SEA-BCMA was generally well tolerated, and the maximum tolerated dose was not reached in the 5 dose levels tested in Part A (100, 200, 400, 800, or 1600 mg Q2W; n=2, 2, 2, 7, and 7, respectively). At 800 mg, 1 of 7 pts reported a Grade 3 infusion-related reaction (IRR), which met dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) criteria by lasting >24 hours despite supportive care. This constituted the single DLT observed during dose escalation. Subsequently, dose expansion (n=15) proceeded at 1600 mg Q2W. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) observed with 1600 mg Q2W (n=22) were fatigue (32%), pyrexia (23%), IRR (23%), and hypertension (23%) for non-hematological events, and anemia (14%) for hematologic events. The most common ≥Grade 3 TEAEs with 1600 mg Q2W were anemia and syncope (9% each). Following a safety monitoring review, premedication with acetaminophen + antihistamine was introduced to mitigate IRRs in expansion cohorts. Parts B and C completed parallel safety run-ins (n=6 each) at the 1600 mg dose with no DLTs observed and with similar tolerability. Pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses indicate serum SEA-BCMA exposures increased proportionally with increasing dose with a half-life of approximately 10 days. Preliminary analyses suggest the PK profile of SEA-BCMA in combination therapy with DEX (n=5) is comparable to monotherapy and is unaltered with a change in schedule from Q2W to Q1W. Three of 22 pts who received 1600 mg SEA-BCMA Q2W monotherapy (Part A) achieved a confirmed objective response (OR; OR rate: 14% [95% confidence interval: 2.91, 34.91]; 2 partial responses [PR], 1 very good PR [VGPR]). To date, 3 pts remain on treatment (2 PRs and 1 stable disease). The median duration of treatment was 12 weeks (Figure 1; range 4-88). In Parts B and C, 2 of 8 (2 PR) and 2 of 12 (1 VGPR, 1 PR) pts reported a confirmed OR; 3 of the 4 responding pts remain on treatment in cycle 7, 8, and 9, respectively. Conclusions Preliminary results for SGNBCMA-001 suggest a favorable safety profile and combination potential. SEA-BCMA also showed encouraging duration on treatment and initial antitumor activity in a heavily pre-treated late-line R/R MM pt population. Expansion cohorts testing intensified SEA-BCMA dosing and the addition of DEX are underway to further assess the safety, tolerability, and estimate of SEA-BCMA activity in the context of these treatment approaches. An additional expansion cohort (Part D), testing the combination of SEA-BCMA with pomalidomide and DEX in pts who have received ≥2 prior lines of therapy, is now enrolling. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Introduction Brentuximab vedotin (BV) and nivolumab are both active and well tolerated in patients (pts) with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and were previously studied in first salvage (overall response rate [ORR] 85%; complete response [CR] 67%) (Advani 2021) and as firstline therapy in older adults (ORR 95%; CR 79%) (Yasenchak 2019). BV is approved for the treatment of adults with treatment-naïve Stage III or IV cHL in combination with doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (AVD) (Connors 2017) and targets CD30, a receptor expressed on the Reed-Sternberg cells. Nivolumab is approved for treatment of adults with relapsed/refractory cHL and restores antitumor immunity by blocking the PD-1 receptor on activated T-cells. The combination of BV plus nivolumab demonstrated promising activity that supports this combination when evaluated as a frontline treatment option for pts over 60 years of age with cHL (Friedberg 2018). Additionally, in pts with non-bulky Stage I or II cHL, treatment with BV plus doxorubicin and dacarbazine (AD) resulted in a CR rate of 97% at end of treatment (EOT), as well as a promising 4-year progression-free survival (PFS) estimate of 91%. Importantly, there were no cases of ≥Grade 3 peripheral neuropathy and only 9% were Grade 2 (Abramson 2021). Herein, we present preliminary safety results from Part B of this phase 2 study, where combination treatment with AN+AD (BV, nivolumab, doxorubicin, and dacarbazine) was well tolerated without excessive dose modifications or discontinuations and is consistent with the known safety profiles of the individual components of this treatment regimen. Methods SGN35-027 (NCT03646123) is an open-label, multiple part, multicenter, phase 2 clinical trial. Part B of this study enrolled pts with Ann Arbor Stage I or II cHL with bulky mediastinal disease (defined as ≥ 10 cm) or Stage III or IV cHL. Pts received up to 6 cycles of AN+AD (consisting of BV 1.2 mg/kg, nivolumab 240 mg, doxorubicin 25 mg/m 2, and dacarbazine 375 mg/m 2). All study drugs were administered by IV infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. The primary endpoint was CR rate at EOT. Secondary endpoints included safety, tolerability, overall response rate, and PFS. Disease response and progression was assessed by investigators using the Lugano Classification Revised Staging System for nodal non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin Lymphomas (Cheson 2014) and Lymphoma Response to Immunomodulatory Therapy Criteria (LYRIC) (Cheson 2016) at Cycle 2 and EOT. Results In Part B, the majority of the 58 pts enrolled were white (86%), not of Hispanic or Latino/a or Spanish origins (79%), and less than 65 years old (95%). Median age was 35 years (range: 19-78 years). Twenty-nine percent of pts had Stage II cHL with bulky mediastinal disease, while the remainder had Stage III (17%) or Stage IV (50%) cHL. Of the 58 pts enrolled, 57 received at least one dose of study treatment. Of the 57 pts who received at least one dose of study treatment, 1 pt discontinued treatment (all study drugs) by the end of Cycle 2 due to treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). By end of Cycle 2, the majority of TEAEs were Grades 1 and 2; 16% of pts experienced ≥Grade 3 TEAEs. Nausea, fatigue, and alopecia were the most frequently reported treatment-related TEAEs (51%, 33%, and 26% of pts, respectively). No febrile neutropenia was observed, and there were no Grade 5 adverse events. Two pts (4%) experienced treatment-related treatment-emergent serious adverse events; 1 pt (2%) experienced hypophysitis and aseptic meningitis, and discontinued treatment, and 1 pt (2%) experienced pneumonitis. Preliminary efficacy results are anticipated for presentation. Conclusions Preliminary results demonstrate that AN+AD is well-tolerated, and no new safety signals were observed. The omission of bleomycin and vinblastine may have contributed to the absence of certain AEs, such as febrile neutropenia. This study of AN+AD is ongoing, and updated safety and efficacy results will be presented at the meeting.

Introduction: Current National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend one of three frontline (1L) regimens to treat stage III or IV classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL): doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD), brentuximab vedotin, doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (A+AVD), or bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone (escalated (e) dose-BEACOPP). PET/CT imaging is important at initial staging and in follow up including after two cycles (interim PET2) to assess and adapt treatment based on response for patients who newly start treatment with ABVD (Johnson et al., 2016). Despite NCCN guidelines, physicians in community oncology practices may face challenges optimizing outcomes for ABVD patients utilizing the interim PET2 adaptive approach. This study evaluated interim PET2 utilization and reported Deauville scores (DS) in patients with stage III or IV cHL treated in the 1L setting. Methods: This retrospective observational study included adult patients diagnosed with stage III or IV cHL and treated with 1L ABVD, A+AVD, or eBEACOPP within the US Oncology Network (USON) between 01 January 2017 and 31 January 2020. Patients enrolled in therapeutic clinical trials or received treatment for another primary cancer diagnosis were excluded. Patient data were sourced from the USON's electronic health records database, iKM™. Demographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics were sourced from structured iKM elements. Interim PET2 details, including Deauville scores, were obtained from manual chart review. Descriptive statistics were generated for all patient characteristics. Results: 262 patients with cHL were eligible. The majority of the patients were Conclusions: Findings from this retrospective, observational, community oncology study found that Deauville scores were reported for only 1/3 of interim PET-CT in patients treated with 1L ABVD patients with stage III or IV cHL. Despite this, initial treatment modification of de-escalation from ABVD to AVD was common and escalation to BEACOPP was rarely observed. These results suggest that albeit interim PET-CT is utilized, the Deauville scores to inform escalation or de-escalation of treatment decisions in stage III or IV cHL patients is missing and not universally reported in the community oncology setting. Our findings support a potential opportunity to educate oncologists and radiologists on the importance of consistently reporting PET-CT Deauville scores given the fact that providers may lack the complete information to ensure treatment modifications are optimized for patient outcomes. Additionally, compared with ABVD, A+AVD that does not require treatment adaptation by interim PET/CT Deauville score may be a therapy option.

TPS7571 Background: The majority of patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who relapse after HSCT, or who are not candidates for HSCT have poor outcomes and are in need of novel therapies. Brentuximab vedotin (BV) is a CD30-directed ADC and preclinical data provide a strong rationale for combining BV, lenalidomide, and rituximab in the treatment of R/R DLBCL. In addition, in a phase 1 trial in which 37 pts with R/R DLBCL were treated with BV + lenalidomide, the ORR was 56.7% (73.3% in CD30+ pts; manuscript in preparation). The median duration of remission was 13.2 months in pts with a CR or PR and 11.7 months in pts with CR, PR, or stable disease > 6 months. The PFS and median OS were 11.2 months and 14.3 months, respectively and results were similar in the CD30+ and CD30 < 1% groups. The clinical activity and manageable safety profiles of BV, lenalidomide, and rituximab as single agents, make the combination a viable option in multiply relapsed and heavily pretreated pts. Methods: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, active-comparator, multicenter phase 3 study designed to evaluate the efficacy of BV vs placebo, in combination with lenalidomide + rituximab, in subjects with R/R DLBCL (NCT04404283). Prior to randomization, there will be a safety and PK run-in period where 6 pts will receive BV, lenalidomide + rituximab, and safety and PK will be evaluated after the first cycle of treatment; 6/6 subjects have been enrolled. Key eligibility criteria include: pts aged ≥18 with R/R DLBCL with an eligible subtype; ≥2 prior lines of therapy and must be ineligible for, or have declined, stem cell transplant, and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy; ECOG 0 to 2; fluorodeoxyglucose-avid disease by PET and bidimensional measurable disease of at least 1.5 cm by CT. Patients (n = 400) will be randomized 1:1 to receive either BV or placebo in combination with lenalidomide + rituximab and will be stratified by CD30 expression (positive [ ≥1%] versus < 1%), prior allogeneic or autologous stem cell transplant therapy (received or not), prior CAR-T therapy (received or not), and cell of origin (GCB or non-GCB). The primary endpoints are PFS per BICR in the ITT and CD30+ populations. Key secondary endpoints are OS in the ITT and CD30+ populations, and ORR per BICR. Other secondary endpoints include CR rate, duration of response, and safety and tolerability of the combination. Disease response will be assessed by BICR and the investigator according to the Lugano Classification Revised Staging System. Radiographic disease evaluations, including contrast-enhanced CT scans and PET, will be assessed at baseline, then every 6 weeks from randomization until Week 48, then every 12 weeks. PET is not required after CR is achieved. The trial is currently enrolling and will be open in 16 countries. Clinical trial information: NCT04404283.

Background Majority of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who relapse after HSCT, or who are not candidates for HSCT have poor outcomes and are in need of novel therapies. Preclinical data provides a strong rationale for combining brentuximab vedotin, lenalidomide, and rituximab in the treatment of R/R DLBCL. In a phase 1 trial, 37 subjects with R/R DLBCL were treated with brentuximab vedotin in combination with lenalidomide. The objective response rate (ORR) (proportion of subjects with complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]) for all subjects was 56.7% (21 of 37 subjects). For the CD30-positive population, the ORR was 73.3% (11 of 15 subjects), whereas the ORR for the CD30 6 months, the median duration of remission was 11.70 months (range: 3.2 to 55.2 months). The progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) results appear similar in both the CD30-positive and CD30 Study Design and Methods This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, active-comparator, multicenter phase 3 study designed to evaluate the efficacy of brentuximab vedotin in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab versus placebo in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab for the treatment of subjects with R/R DLBCL (NCT04404283). Key eligibility criteria include the following: subjects aged 18 and older with R/R DLBCL with an eligible subtype; subjects must have ≥2 prior lines of therapy and must be ineligible for, or have declined, stem cell transplant, and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy; subjects must have an ECOG performance status score of 0 to 2; subjects must have a fluorodeoxyglucose-avid disease by PET and bidimensional measurable disease of at least 1.5 cm by CT, as assessed by the site radiologist. Subjects (n=400) will be randomized 1:1 to receive either brentuximab vedotin or placebo in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab and will be stratified by CD30 expression (positive [≥1%] versus Disease response will be assessed by a blinded independent central review (BICR) and the investigator according to the Lugano Classification Revised Staging System. Radiographic disease evaluations, including contrast-enhanced CT scans and PET/CT, will be assessed at baseline, then every 6 weeks from randomization for 12 months, then every 12 weeks (±3 days). PET/CTs will be discontinued if negative. For the primary efficacy analyses of PFS per BICR in the intent-to-treat population and in CD30-positive subjects, the stratified log-rank test will be used to compare PFS between the 2 treatment groups. The hazard ratio will be estimated using a stratified Cox regression model. PFS will also be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier method. Similar methods will be used for the secondary efficacy endpoint of OS, and other time-to-event efficacy endpoints. The trial will have sites open in the US and multiple countries in Europe and Asia, with enrollment planning to begin in the second half of 2020.

Outcomes in older patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) tend to be poor following conventional chemotherapy regimens. Treatment-related toxicity is significant and comorbidities often limit therapeutic options. This phase 2, open-label study evaluated the efficacy and safety of brentuximab vedotin, a CD30-directed antibody-drug conjugate, as frontline therapy in 27 HL patients aged ≥60 years. The objective response rate (ORR) was 92%, with 73% achieving complete remission. All patients achieved stable disease or better, and had decreased tumor volume following treatment. At the time of this analysis, the median duration of objective response for efficacy-evaluable patients (N = 26) was 9.1 months (range, 2.8 to 20.9+ months), median progression-free survival was 10.5 months (range, 2.6+ to 22.3+ months), and median overall survival had not been reached (range, 4.6+ to 24.9+ months). The observed adverse events (AEs) were generally consistent with the known safety profile of brentuximab vedotin. The most common AEs were peripheral sensory neuropathy (78%), fatigue (44%), and nausea (44%), and were ≤ grade 2 for most patients. The incidence of grade 3 peripheral neuropathy events was relatively high (30% overall), particularly among patients with the known risk factors of diabetes and/or hypothyroidism (46% vs 14% for those without). However, these risk factors were not associated with delayed time to resolution/improvement of peripheral neuropathy. Preliminary data showed no substantial age-related changes in brentuximab vedotin pharmacokinetics. Brentuximab vedotin monotherapy may provide a frontline treatment option for older patients who cannot tolerate conventional combination chemotherapy. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01716806.

TPS8069 Background: Older patients and those with significant comorbidities have not attained outcomes seen in younger patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and CD30-expressing peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Five-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 30%–45% in older HL patients treated with combination chemotherapy versus 75%–80% in younger patients (Evens 2008; Proctor 2009). Similarly, when adjusted for age, a Charleston Comorbidity Index ≥2 was independently associated with worse overall survival (HR=1.63) and PFS (HR=1.54) (Ellin 2018). Brentuximab vedotin (BV, ADCETRIS), a CD30-directed antibody-drug conjugate, has robust activity in cHL patients refractory to several lines of chemotherapy. BV monotherapy in 27 cHL patients aged ≥60 years had a 92% objective response rate (ORR) and 73% achieved complete remission (Forero-Torres, 2015). BV was also active and well-tolerated in CD30-expressing PTCL patients with relapsed or refractory disease (Horwitz 2014). Frontline BV monotherapy may have the potential to be an active and well-tolerated treatment for cHL and PTCL patients who are older or have significant comorbidities, which are populations with high unmet need. Methods: This phase II, open-label study, SGN35-015 (NCT01716806), has added 2 cohorts to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of BV monotherapy in treatment naive patients with cHL, (Part E), or CD30-expressing PTCL (Part F, n~50 each) who are unsuitable for conventional combination therapy due to comorbidity-related factors as determined by a Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS) score ≥10 or dependence on others for any instrumental activities of daily living. Eligible patients must also have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤3 and measurable disease ≥1.5 cm per radiographic techniques. BV (1.8 mg/kg) will be administered as a single intravenous infusion on day 1 of each 2-day cycle. Patients achieving a complete remission, partial remission, or stable disease will receive up to 16 cycles of treatment. Response will be assessed by blinded independent central review of spiral CT and PET scans at Cycles 2, 6, 11, and at end of treatment to be graded per Lugano 2014. The primary objective of these cohorts is to assess ORR of frontline therapy with single-agent BV in patients who have significant comorbidities. Clinical trial information: NCT01716806 .

e19332 Background: US MM-6 is investigating iCT from parenteral V-based induction to all-oral I-lenalidomide-dexamethasone (IRd) with the aim of increasing proteasome inhibitor (PI)-based treatment adherence/duration while maintaining quality of life (QoL) & further improving outcomes in the diverse US community population. Methods: 21 US community sites, including VA hospitals, are enrolling non-transplant-eligible newly diagnosed MM pts with ≥stable disease after 3 cycles of V-based therapy to receive IRd. Pts use mobile & digital devices to collect actigraphy (activity/sleep) data, complete QoL & treatment satisfaction questionnaires, & self-report medication adherence. Primary endpoint: progression-free survival (PFS); key secondary endpoints include: response rates & duration of therapy. Results: As of Nov 18, 2019, 84 pts had been treated (median age 73 [range 49–90] yrs; 44% ≥75 yrs; 49% male; 15% black/African American; 10% Hispanic/Latino; 35% International Staging System stage III disease; 42% lytic bone disease). Comorbidities included hypertension (57%), anemia (44%), fatigue (43%), & peripheral neuropathy (13%). 85% of pts were receiving VRd at the time of iCT. 62% of pts are still on therapy & enrollment is ongoing. After initiating iCT, ≥complete response (CR) rate increased from 4% to 26% (Table). At 8 mos median follow-up, 6 pts had progressed & there were 2 on-study deaths. The 12-mo PFS rate was 86% (95% CI, 73–93) from the start of V-based regimen & from the start of IRd. During IRd treatment, 92% of pts had treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (48% grade [G] ≥3). G3 TEAEs (≥5% of pts) were diarrhea (7%), pneumonia (6%), syncope (6%), & anemia (5%). TEAEs led to study drug discontinuation in 7% of pts; 36% had serious TEAEs. I/R/d dose was adjusted due to AEs in 39%/39%/29% of pts. Medication adherence (cycles 1–5) was ‘excellent’/‘very good’ in ≥78% of pts reporting adherence. QoL/treatment satisfaction were maintained in pts completing questionnaires. Actigraphy data showed normal activity levels & sleep durations. Conclusions: US MM-6 pts are representative of the RW US MM population & results show that iCT to an oral PI may permit prolonged PI-based therapy with promising efficacy & without impacting pts’ QoL or treatment satisfaction.

Background Despite the advances in therapy of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and CD30-expressing peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) over the years, the outcomes seen in younger patients with the disease have not been attained in patients ≥60 years of age. Studies cite 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and freedom from treatment failure rates of 30%-45% in older patients with HL, as compared to rates of 75%-80% expected in younger patients (Evens 2008; Proctor 2009). In a recent retrospective study of patients >60 years of age diagnosed with PTCL between 2008-2014, a multivariate analysis demonstrated that a Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) ≥2 and high IPI score (3-5) were independent risk factors for worse overall survival (OS) and PFS (Zhao 2016). Similarly, multivariate analysis of registry data from Sweden shows that a CCI ≥2, when adjusted for age, is independently associated with worse OS and PFS outcomes (Ellin 2018). There is no standard treatment regimen for elderly patients with cHL and PTCL, and co-morbidities including depressed cardiac and renal function limit the ability to use combination chemotherapy, and represent a high unmet need. Brentuximab vedotin (BV, ADCETRIS®) is a CD30-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) consisting of the chimeric IgG1 antibody cAC10, specific for human CD30; the microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE); and a protease-cleavable linker that covalently attaches MMAE to cAC10. Following the binding of BV to CD30-expressing cells, the ADC-CD30 complex is internalized, and MMAE released via proteolytic cleavage. Binding of MMAE to tubulin disrupts the microtubule network within the cell, subsequently inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Single-agent BV has demonstrated robust activity in patients with HL refractory to several lines of chemotherapy and the ECHELON-1 study (Connors 2017) established its efficacy in combination with chemotherapy for the front line treatment of HL. In a phase 2 study of single-agent BV in 27 patients aged ≥ 60 years with HL, there was an objective response rate of 92%, with 73% achieving complete remission (Forero-Torres, 2015). For CD30-expressing PTCL, single-agent BV is an active and well-tolerated treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory disease (Horwitz 2014) and the ECHELON-2 study showed that the addition of BV to combination chemotherapy in the frontline treatment improves both PFS and OS (Horwitz 2018). In the elderly patient populations who are not candidates for multi-agent chemotherapy, frontline treatment with single-agent BV may have the potential to be an active and well-tolerated treatment. Study Design Two additional cohorts have been added to the SGN35-015 phase 2 open-label study (NCT01716806) to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of BV as monotherapy in treatment-naive patients with cHL, which excludes nodular lymphocyte-predominant HL (Part E) or treatment-naive patients with CD30-expressing PTCL (Part F). The primary objective of these cohorts is to assess objective response rates of single-agent BV as frontline therapy in patients ≥60 years of age and ineligible for conventional chemotherapy for HL (Part E) or CD30-expressing PTCL (Part F). Eligible patients in Parts E and F must be ≥75 years or ≥60 years of age and have one of the following: confirmed ejection fraction Approximately 30 evaluable patients will be enrolled in Parts E and F of the study and administered BV 1.8 mg/kg as a single intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Patients achieving a complete remission, partial remission, or stable disease will receive up to 16 cycles of treatment. Treatment response will be assessed by spiral CT scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis and PET scans at Cycles 2, 6, and 11. Response assessment will be determined by blinded independent central review. Disclosures Yasenchak: BMS: Consultancy; Seattle Genetics: Consultancy.

Background. In patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) aged ≥60 years, comorbidities and treatment-related toxicities often prevent delivery of optimal intensity and/or duration of standard frontline chemotherapy. Brentuximab vedotin (BV) and nivolumab (Nivo) have two distinct mechanisms of action, tolerability of the combination has been observed in relapsed/refractory HL in a phase 1/2 study (85% objective response rate [ORR]; 62% complete remission [CR] rate) (Herrera 2017); thus, our phase 2 study was amended to evaluate this combination in a cohort of newly diagnosed HL patients aged ≥60 years (NCT01716806). Methods. Eligible subjects have treatment-naive classical HL and are ineligible for or declined initial conventional combination chemotherapy (planned N = 20). Subjects received BV 1.8 mg/kg + Nivo 3 mg/kg as well as prophylactic premedication for infusion-related reactions on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for ≤16 cycles. CT/PET scans were performed at Cycles 2 (CT only), 4, 8, 12, and 16 (assessed per Lugano Classification Revised Staging System [Cheson 2014] and Lymphoma Response to Immunomodulatory Therapy Criteria (LYRIC) [Cheson 2016]). The primary objective is ORR. Results. Twenty-one subjects received BV + Nivo (median age, 72 years [range, 60-88]). The majority had an ECOG performance status of 0/1 (95%), Stage III/IV disease (77%), and presented with B symptoms at baseline (57%). In this elderly population, 48% had bulky disease and 38% had extranodal disease at the initial diagnosis. Of the 21 subjects treated, 7 remain on treatment, 2 discontinued treatment due to progressive disease, 6 completed treatment, 4 withdrew due to subject decision, 1 withdrew due to pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia, and 1 had an unrelated Grade 3 serious adverse event of acute renal failure and sepsis, resulting in death. The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAE) of any grade were fatigue (48%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (38%), diarrhea, infusion-related reactions, and pyrexia (24% each). No infusion-related reactions required steroid intervention. Among TRAE ≥Grade 3, the most common were elevated lipase (19%) and peripheral motor neuropathy (14%). Three subjects had immune-related AEs with a maximum severity of Grade 3. Three of the 21 subjects treated were not evaluable for efficacy, defined in the protocol as subjects who had both a baseline and at least one post-baseline disease assessment or who had documented progression of disease any time after receiving any amount of BV. Non-evaluable subjects included 1 who died from renal failure prior to assessment, 1 who withdrew consent prior to assessment, and 1 who had not been assessed at the time of the data cutoff. Based on the 18 evaluable subjects, the ORR was 100%, with a 72% CR rate and a 28% PR rate. Conclusions. Elderly HL remains an unmet clinical need. These data suggest that BV + Nivo is an active treatment with an encouraging CR rate (72%) and appears well tolerated in these patients. These results also suggest that with further follow-up and validation, treatment with BV + Nivo may improve patient outcomes. Enrollment in this cohort is complete (21 subjects), with 7 subjects continuing to receive treatment. Disclosures Yasenchak: BMS: Consultancy; Seattle Genetics: Consultancy.

Background PI-based therapy is a standard of care for non-transplant NDMM pts. However, long-term treatment, which is associated with improved outcomes, is often challenging in the RW. This may be due to a number of factors, including the burden of repeated intravenous (IV)/subcutaneous (SC) administration, distance from treatment center, comorbidities, and toxicity (e.g. peripheral neuropathy [PN] with btz). With the aim of increasing PI-based treatment adherence and duration while maintaining quality of life (QoL), the US MM-6 RW, community-based study (NCT03173092) investigates a transition from IV/SC btz-based induction to all-oral ixazomib-based therapy (ixazomib-lenalidomide-dexamethasone, IRd). We report efficacy and safety, plus adherence and electronic pt-reported outcomes (ePRO) compliance data, for the first 55 pts. Methods Non-transplant NDMM pts (transplant-ineligible or transplant delayed >24 mos) with ≥stable disease (SD) after 3 cycles of a btz-based induction are being enrolled at 23 community sites to receive IRd (ixazomib 4 mg, d 1, 8, 15; lenalidomide 25 mg, d 1-21; dexamethasone 40 mg [20 mg in pts aged >75 yrs], d 1, 8, 15, 22) for up to 26 x 28-d cycles or until progression/toxicity. Pts complete ePROs every cycle to assess QoL/treatment satisfaction, and a monthly medication adherence survey via a wearable device/smartphone. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS); key secondary endpoints include partial (PR), very good partial (VGPR), and complete (CR) response rates, and duration of therapy. Results As of April 1 2019, 55 pts had been enrolled at 16 sites. Median age was 72 (range 49-90) yrs, with 76% classified as elderly (≥65 yrs); 47% were male. Key characteristics of this RW population are summarized in Table 1. Comorbidities/concurrent medical conditions at the start of IRd therapy were extensive and included hypertension (51%), anemia (44%), fatigue (42%), renal and urinary disorders (36%), gastroesophageal reflux disease (31%), cardiac disorders (27%), constipation (27%), nausea (24%), and PN (16%); 91% of pts were receiving concomitant medications. At data cutoff, with 40 (73%) pts remaining on therapy, median duration of PI therapy, including prior btz-based induction, was 6.9 mos (mean 8.4 mos) (Table 2). Median duration of IRd treatment was 4.0 mos (median 5 cycles; mean 5.6 mos, 6.6 cycles), with pts having received up to 17.3 mos (18 cycles) of therapy to date. After 3 cycles of btz-based induction, the ≥VGPR rate was 27%, with 4% ≥CR; overall response rate (ORR) was 62%. With IRd therapy, the ≥VGPR rate was 40%, with 22% ≥CR; ORR was 65% (15% not evaluable). Following transition from btz-based induction to IRd, 21 pts (36%) had deepened responses (18% increase in ≥CR rate), including 3 VGPR to CR, 3 PR to CR, 1 MR to CR, 4 SD to CR, 3 PR to VGPR, 1 SD to VGPR, 5 SD to PR, and 1 SD to MR (Figure). With limited follow-up, and enrollment ongoing, 3 pts had progressed and one had died at data cutoff. The preliminary 6-mo PFS rate (95% CI) was 91% (74-97%) from start of IRd and 96% (84-99%) from start of btz-based induction. Average compliance with completing issued ePRO questionnaires during IRd treatment was 96% (61 pts; data cutoff July 8, 2019). Patients recorded their monthly medication adherence for the previous 4 weeks; 81% of evaluable pts (n=32) in cycle 1, 81% in cycle 2 (n=27), 77% in cycle 3 (n=22), 96% in cycle 4 (n=24), and 94% in cycle 5 (n=18) (n2 pts. AEs led to study drug modification in 47% and discontinuation in 4% of pts; 29% had serious AEs. PN occurred in 25% (4% grade 3) and led to dose modification in 13% of pts. There were no on-study deaths (i.e. occurring Conclusions These preliminary data in mostly elderly, comorbid, NDMM pts treated in the RW, community setting indicate the feasibility, tolerability, and efficacy of transitioning to IRd after 3 cycles of btz-based induction. Toxicities appeared similar to previous ixazomib studies. With 73% of pts remaining on therapy and enrollment continuing, duration of therapy is promising, substantial improvements in response have been seen, and ePRO compliance/ medication adherence is high, indicating the feasibility and value of these evaluations.

Introduction Cabozantinib, an orally bioavailable tyrosine kinase inhibitor with activity against MET, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, AXL, ROS1, and RET was assessed in patients with non–small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) as part of a phase II randomized discontinuation trial with cohorts from 9 tumor types. Patients and Methods Patients received cabozantinib 100 mg/day during a 12-week open-label lead-in stage. Those with stable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.0 at week 12 were randomized to cabozantinib or placebo. Primary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR) at week 12 and progression-free survival (PFS) after randomization. Results Sixty patients with NSCLC who had received a median of 2 prior lines of therapy were enrolled. ORR at week 12 was 10%; 6 patients had a confirmed partial response, and no patients had a complete response. Overall disease-control rate (ORR + stable disease) at week 12 was 38%. Tumor regression was observed in 30 (64%) of 47 patients with post-baseline radiographic tumor assessments, including 3 or 4 patients with KRAS or epidermal growth factor receptor mutations, respectively. Median PFS after randomization was 2.4 months for both the cabozantinib and placebo arms. Median PFS from first dose for the entire cohort was 4.2 months. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were fatigue (13%), palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (10%), diarrhea (7%), hypertension (7%), and asthenia (5%); 1 treatment-related grade 5 adverse event (hemorrhage) was reported during the lead-in stage. Conclusion Cabozantinib exhibited clinical activity based on ORR and regression of tumor lesions in pretreated patients with NSCLC, including in patients with KRAS mutations.

The current study aimed to assess the economic burden of progressive disease among patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) receiving second- or third-line therapy in a large US network of community-based practices. This retrospective, observational cohort analysis used electronic health records to examine adult patients with classical HL who received chemotherapy between 2007 and 2011. Of 291 observations, 112 had non-progressive disease (received only one line of therapy; LOT1), 114 received second-line therapy (LOT2), and 65 received third-line therapy (LOT3). In LOT2, 49 patients (43%) underwent transplant. In LOT3, 13 patients (20%) underwent transplant. The mean total cost per line of therapy was $21 956 in LOT1, $77 219 in LOT2, and $59 442 in LOT3. When transplant was required, the mean total cost per line of therapy increased 7- to 8-fold when compared with the cost of LOT1 (approximately $154 000 for LOT2 and $193 000 for LOT3). Future therapies that intervene as early as possible in the treatment algorithm to prevent or significantly delay relapse will likely result in significant cost savings.

Patients aged ≥60 years with treatment-naive Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) have few treatment options and inferior survival due to treatment-related toxicities and comorbidities. This phase 2, nonrandomized, open-label study evaluated brentuximab vedotin (BV) monotherapy (results previously reported), BV plus dacarbazine (DTIC), and BV plus bendamustine. Patients had classical HL and were ineligible for or declined frontline chemotherapy. Twenty-two patients received 1.8 mg/kg BV and 375 mg/m2 DTIC for up to 12 cycles, and 20 more patients received 1.8 mg/kg BV plus 90 or 70 mg/m2 bendamustine for up to 6 cycles (dose reduced due to toxicity). Subsequent BV monotherapy was allowed. Approximately 30 patients were to receive BV plus bendamustine; however, the incidence of serious adverse events (65%) and 2 deaths on study led to discontinuation of bendamustine and cessation of enrollment. Most patients had stage III/IV disease, and approximately half had ≥3 comorbidities or were impaired in ≥1 aspect that significantly interfered with quality of life. For BV plus DTIC, the objective response rate (ORR) was 100% and the complete remission (CR) rate was 62%. To date, the median progression-free survival (PFS) is 17.9 months. For BV plus bendamustine, the ORR was 100% and the CR rate was 88%. Neither the median PFS nor overall survival was reached. For elderly patients with HL, BV plus DTIC may be a frontline option based on tolerability and response duration. Despite activity, BV plus bendamustine is not a tolerable regimen in these patients. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01716806.

Introduction: Despite therapeutic advances and the increasing number of available regimens, multiple myeloma (MM) remains largely incurable, with a decreased durability of response with successive therapies (Majithia et al, Leukemia 2016). The monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) daratumumab (dara) and elotuzumab (elo), targeting CD38 and SLAMF7, respectively, have demonstrated significant efficacy in relapsed/refractory (RR) MM and may lead to a paradigm change in the treatment of RRMM. In the USA, dara is indicated for the treatment of RRMM when given in combination with dexamethasone (dex) plus either lenalidomide (len; Ld) or bortezomib for patients (pts) with ≥1 prior line of therapy (LoT). Dara in combination with pomalidomide/dex (pom; Pd) was also recently approved for pts with RRMM after ≥2 prior LoTs, including len and a proteasome inhibitor (PI), on the basis of data from a single-arm trial that demonstrated a median progression-free survival of 9.9 mo (Facon et al, Blood 2017), and as a monotherapy in pts with ≥3 prior LoTs. Elo, combined with Ld, is approved for treatment of RRMM after 1-3 LoTs. In ELOQUENT-3 (NCT02654132), an ongoing phase 2 randomized study in pts with RRMM after failure of len and a PI, elo plus Pd was associated with a 46% reduction in risk of progression or death vs Pd alone (Dimopoulos et al. EHA 2018 [LB2606]). There is a lack of current data on the array of treatments received by pts with RRMM after failing mAb therapy. This study evaluated treatment sequences among pts with RRMM after failure of dara-based therapy. Methods: Pts from the USA aged ≥18 y with RRMM, who received dara in their second to sixth LoT from November 2015 onward, were identified from PREAMBLE (NCT01838512), an ongoing, prospective, observational study, and the McKesson electronic medical record (EMR) database. Pts who had received a prior mAb were excluded. Pts were followed until database lock (PREAMBLE, April 2018; McKesson EMR, May 2018). Baseline demographics and clinical characteristics were assessed using descriptive analysis, and statistical comparisons were made using t or Mann-Whitney U tests (continuous variables) and chi-square tests (categorical variables). Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to estimate duration of therapy (DoT). Results: In total, 1016 pts received dara as their first mAb in their second to sixth LoT. Baseline characteristics are shown in Table 1A. The most common dara-based regimen was dara plus an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD; 37% of pts, of whom 50% received dara plus pom), followed by dara plus dex and/or chemotherapy (32%), dara plus a PI (27%), dara plus a PI and an IMiD (4%), and dara plus panobinostat ( Conclusions: In this analysis, pts with RRMM after failure of dara switched to a variety of regimens. The majority received regimens containing IMiDs and PIs despite having been exposed to those agents in the past. Elo-based regimens were received by 21% of pts with RRMM after failure of dara, with most pts receiving elo in combination with len, and were associated with a higher DoT (151 d) after dara than other regimens in this analysis. Elo plus Pd may therefore be an option after dara, as pom is used less frequently in earlier LoTs. Study support: Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS). Medical writing: K Tran, Caudex, funded by BMS.

Type II cryoglobulinemia (CG) is a heterogeneous, generally indolent disorder caused by a monoclonal antibody with activity against polyclonal antibodies and is commonly associated with hepatitis C, lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs), or autoimmune diseases. It can lead to substantial morbidity, including renal failure, cutaneous ulcers, or neuropathy. Medical records were reviewed for 8 patients with previously treated symptomatic CG who were part of a prospectively held dysproteinemia database. Patients subsequently received 14 total courses of rituximab treatment (standard infusion, 375 mg/m2 for 4 or 8 doses) between February 1999 and March 2005. One patient had essential CG, and 1 had Gaucher disease with hypersplenism. Six patients had an LPD, and 4 of them had concomitant disorders (2 with hepatitis C and 2 with Sjogren syndrome). Treatment indications included purpura, LPD, cutaneous ulcers, and renal failure. Clinical improvement was evaluated by improved cryocrit, total complement, C4, and rheumatoid factor. Six patients had some clinical improvement. Cutaneous manifestations were the most responsive; renal disease and lymphoma were more refractory. Laboratory values showed improvement after 7 of 12 available treatment courses. No adverse reactions were noted. Overall, rituximab appears to be a safe and effective therapy.

Introduction: Entospletinib is an orally bioavailable, selective inhibitor of spleen tyrosine kinase. Targeting the B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway with Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) and PI3Kd inhibitors (BTKi and PI3Kdi), approved for treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), has been a successful therapeutic strategy. Entospletinib is active in CLL and preclinical data suggest that entospletinib may be effective even in the context of resistance to BTKi, including that conferred by activation of PLCγ2 (Liu et. al. Blood 2015). Methods: This is an ongoing phase 2 trial (NCT01799889) of entospletinib in CLL and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The study protocol includes 2 CLL cohorts for patients who have been previously treated with BTKi or PI3Kdi and 2 additional cohorts for patients with Richter's transformation who have had analogous prior treatment. Patients were treated with entospletinib monotherapy (400 mg BID) and evaluated using modified Hallek/IWG-CLL criteria every 2 to 3 months as previously described (Sharman et. al. Blood 2014). Results: As of June 28, 2016, 34 patients have been enrolled, and 33 have been treated. Of the 28 patients without Richter's transformation, 23 were previously treated with a BTKi (22 ibrutinib, 1 CC-292) and 5 with a PI3Kdi (idelalisib). Median number of prior treatments was 3 (1-7) for patients with prior BTKi and 5 (3-8) for prior PI3Kdi treatment. In total, 35% of the BTKi patients and 60% of the PI3Kdi patients had either a TP53 mutation or del17p; 75% did not have IgHV hypermutation. A median of 2 months (0-14) had elapsed since the prior treatment; 17 patients had progressive disease on prior therapy, while 11 discontinued prior therapy due to intolerance. Thirteen of the 28 patients enrolled without Richter's transformation remain on study with a median PFS of 5.6 months for the prior BTKi cohort and a median PFS of 6.9 months for the prior PI3Kdi cohort. Of the 15 patients who have stopped therapy, 9 discontinued due to disease progression, 5 discontinued due to an AE, and 1 withdrew consent. Overall, 19 patients were evaluable for response (15 BTKi/4 PI3Kdi; Table 1). Of the 6 patients who achieved a PR, all lacked IgHV hypermutation and 3 had either a TP53 mutation or del17p, and 3 had progressed on prior therapy. Following Richter's transformation, 5 patients have been treated with entospletinib (3 with prior BTKi therapy and 2 with prior PI3Ki). The interval since prior treatment was short ( All patients on study experienced a treatment-emergent AE (TEAE) and 49% experienced a serious AE (SAE; Table 2). Only 1 SAE, pancreatitis, was attributed to entospletinib. The most common TEAEs and laboratory abnormalities are listed in Table 2. Additional Grade ≥3 TEAEs reported in more than 1 patient included sepsis (3), atrial fibrillation (2), dehydration (2), neutropenia (2), pneumonia (2), respiratory failure (2), and urinary tract infection (2). The only TEAE attributable to entospletinib that led to discontinuation of treatment was fatigue. Five patients died on study; 2 from progressive disease and 1 each from heart failure, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and cardiac arrest; 3 of these 5 patients died within 30 days of the last dose of study drug [disease progression (2), cardiac arrest (1)]. Conclusion: Early experience from this trial with ongoing enrollment demonstrates that entospletinib has clinical activity following therapy with either BTKi or PI3Kdi. Continued investigation of treatment with entospletinib following progression after therapy with BCR signaling pathway inhibitors is warranted.

Introduction DLBCL is the most common lymphoid neoplasm in adults (Swerdlow 2016). While durable CRs are achieved in approximately 70% of patients (pts) with frontline RCHOP therapy (Pfreundschuh 2008), pts with high-risk features often experience disease resistance or relapse. In Part 1 of an ongoing study, pts with high-intermediate or high risk DLBCL by international prognostic index (IPI) scores, regardless of CD30 expression by IHC, were treated with 1.2 or 1.8 mg/kg brentuximab vedotin (BV) combined with RCHOP. After 3 of the first 10 pts treated at 1.8 mg/kg BV+RCHOP developed Grade 3 peripheral neuropathy (per Standardized MedDRA Query [SMQ]), all pts enrolled subsequently received treatment with 1.2 mg/kg BV+RCHOP. Following completion of enrollment in Part 1, the protocol was amended to enroll a non-randomized portion of the study (Part 2) evaluating the safety and efficacy of 1.8 mg/kg BV+RCHP (Yasenchak 2015), followed by an open-label, randomized portion comparing BV+RCHP to RCHOP (Part 3). Initial results from Part 2 and updated results from Part 1 are reported here. Methods For Part 2 of the study, pts with CD30-expressing high-intermediate and high-risk DLBCL were treated with up to 6 cycles of 1.8 mg/kg BV+RCHP (NCT01925612). Key inclusion criteria were CD30 expression by IHC performed by a local pathology lab and standard IPI scores of 3-5 or age-adjusted IPI (aaIPI) scores of 2-3 (high-intermediate/high risk). CD30 expression was confirmed by a central pathology lab, although CD30 expression by local pathology lab was required for eligibility. Disease response was evaluated with PET/CT per Cheson 2007. Results At the time of analysis for this ongoing study, 11 pts in Part 2 were treated with BV+RCHP (7 male, 4 female; 22-78 yrs). Of these pts, 9 had high-intermediate risk (IPI 3, aaIPI 2) and 2 had high risk disease (IPI 4-5, aaIPI 3), 6 had Stage IV disease, and 6 had an ECOG score of 2. At the end of treatment, the overall response rate was 91% (9 CR, 1 PR); 1 pt had PD after Cycle 4. The most frequent (>20%) treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were alopecia and nausea (73% each); fatigue (64%); constipation and peripheral sensory neuropathy (55% each); neutropenia and throat irritation (36% each); and chills, diarrhea, headache, and stomatitis (27% each). Grade 3 or 4 AEs occurred in 8 pts and 5 pts had serious AEs, which included febrile neutropenia, bacteremia, nausea, pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, and vomiting. Peripheral sensory neuropathy occurred in 6 pts and all were Grade 1 or 2 events; no peripheral motor neuropathy AEs were reported. No AEs were fatal or led to discontinuation. One pt discontinued treatment after Cycle 4 due to disease progression. For the first 51 pts in Part 1, the progression-free survival (PFS) at 18 months for pts with CD30 expression (25 pts) or without detectable CD30 expression (24 pts) by IHC was 79% (95% CI: 57%, 91%) versus 58% (95% CI: 36%, 75%), respectively. Overall survival for pts was 92% (95% CI: 71%, 98%) versus 71% (95% CI: 48%, 85%), respectively. Ten pts had pre-existing peripheral neuropathy (per SMQ) at study entry. Treatment-emergent peripheral neuropathy (per SMQ) was observed in 75% of pts (38/51) who received BV+RCHOP; 55% of these pts (21/38) had resolution of all or some peripheral neuropathy events. Conclusions 1.8 mg/kg BV+RCHP is active as frontline treatment in CD30-expressing, high-intermediate/high risk DLBCL. When combined with RCHP, 1.8 mg/kg BV appears to be well-tolerated. The PFS and OS for pts with CD30-expression who received BV+RCHOP appear promising. The study is currently ongoing in pts with CD30-expressing high-intermediate/high risk DLBCL to assess the safety and activity of 1.8 mg/kg BV+RCHP versus standard RCHOP.

Introduction Older patients (pts) with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) have inferior outcomes compared to younger pts treated with standard chemotherapy regimens, and tolerate therapy poorly. New therapeutic options that improve both efficacy and tolerability are needed for these pts. Brentuximab vedotin (ADCETRIS®), an anti-CD30 antibody-drug conjugate, has durable activity as monotherapy in relapsed HL with a manageable safety profile. For frontline single agent treatment of HL pts aged ≥60 yrs, the objective response rate (ORR) was 92% (73% complete remission [CR]) and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 10.5 months (mo) (Forero-Torres 2015). Brentuximab vedotin + dacarbazine (DTIC) demonstrated compelling activity in preclinical models (McEarchern 2010), and brentuximab vedotin + bendamustine (benda) provided an 82% CR rate in pts with relapsed HL (LaCasce 2014). This phase 2, frontline, open-label study examines the efficacy and durability of response of brentuximab vedotin as monotherapy and in combination with DTIC or benda in HL pts aged ≥60 yrs (NCT01716806). Methods Approximately 70 treatment-naïve pts aged ≥60 yrs with HL (30 monotherapy; 20 for each combination) are to be enrolled. Eligible pts have ECOG ≤3 and are ineligible for or have declined conventional treatment. Brentuximab vedotin 1.8 mg/kg is administered every 3 weeks for up to 12 cycles with DTIC (375 mg/m2) and up to 6 cycles with benda (90 or 70 mg/m2). Pts with clinical benefit may receive additional cycles of brentuximab vedotin. Response is assessed after Cycles 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 and every 6 cycles thereafter. The primary endpoint is ORR per the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma (Cheson 2007). Results Thus far, 60 pts have been treated (n=27 monotherapy; 22 DTIC combo; 11 benda combo). Median age for all pts was 76 yrs (range, 62-92), 55% were male, 65% had stage III-IV disease, 40% had B symptoms, 28% had ECOG 2-3, and 70% were deemed ineligible for conventional chemotherapy. To date, a median of 11.5 treatment cycles have been received by DTIC combo pts, compared to 8 cycles by monotherapy pts. Duration of treatment for the benda combo pts will be more clearly defined with additional follow-up time. A total of 45 pts have discontinued therapy. Discontinuations were due to adverse event (AE; n=18, including 15 for Grade 2 or 3 peripheral neuropathy), progressive disease (PD) after complete or partial remission (CR or PR; n=13), or other reasons (see table; n=14). Fifteen pts remain on therapy. For pts treated with the DTIC combo, the ORR was 100% (62% CR). The median PFS has not been reached (median observation time 9.8 mo) and 18/21 pts remain alive without PD. For pts treated with the benda combo, the starting dose of benda was reduced from 90 to 70 mg/m2 to improve tolerability after the first 10 pts were enrolled. The ORR was 100% (78% CR) in the first 9 pts; with limited observation time (median 3.6 mo), 8/9 pts remain alive without PD. Treatment-related AEs ≥ Grade 3 occurred in 43% of pts overall, SAEs were reported for 22% overall, and no pt died within 30 days of last dose. Conclusions This planned analysis demonstrated 100% ORRs for both the DTIC combo and benda combo with acceptable tolerability. Based upon these data, combinations including brentuximab vedotin appear to have promise as frontline therapy in this vulnerable patient population. Ongoing follow-up will define durability, and ultimately the potential role of these combinations as standard options for elderly patients with HL. Table.

Background: Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is a mediator of B-cell receptor signaling in normal and transformed B-cells. Entospletinib is an orally bioavailable, selective inhibitor of Syk. Methods: This Phase 2 trial is evaluating entospletinib 800 mg BID in a study of 204 patients with previously treated lymphoid malignancies. Tumor imaging was planned at weeks 8, 16, 24 and then every 12. Tumor response was assessed per Cheson 2007 criteria. Results: A cohort of 69 patients with iNHL (41 follicular lymphoma [FL], 11 lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma [LPL], 17 marginal zone lymphoma [MZL]) are included in this analysis. Median age was 66 years (range 41 - 89). 58% were male. The median number of prior treatments (Rxs) regimens was 3 (range 1- 14). Prior Rxs included anti-CD20 antibodies (rituximab 99%, ofatumumab 4%), alkylating agents (90%; bendamustine 51%) and anthracyclines (35%). Baseline risk factors: Ann Arbor Stg III-IV (70%), Gr 3a FL (29%), FLIPI ≥3 (34%). Median duration of Rx was 16 weeks with 10 patients continuing on Rx. Entospletinib was generally well tolerated. The most common TEAEs (any Grade/≥Gr 3, independent of causality) were fatigue (54%/13%), nausea (49%/4%), diarrhea(36%/0%), vomiting (26%/0%), headache (23%/1%), pyrexia (23%/3%), decreased appetite (22%/0%), constipation (22%/1%) and common laboratory abnormalities were increased AST (33%/15%), increased ALT (41%/19%), increased total bilirubin (32%/16%), anemia (36%/13%) and neutropenia (38%/13%). 4 patients died while on study from progressive disease. At the time of this analysis, 66 of 69 patients have been treated through first response assessment (1 patient ongoing not reaching first response assessment, 1 patient discontinued due to AE and 1 patient withdrew consent prior to it). 38 out of 61 (62%) patients evaluable for SPD experienced reduced tumor burden, with median duration of Rx 28 weeks (range 4-92). 9/61 (15%) achieved a decrease of ≥ 50% in SPD. The ORR was 13.0% (95% CI: 6.1%, 23.3%), with 7 patients achieving a PR, one LPL patient achieving MR and one patient achieving a CR. Forty-one patients (59.4%) had stable disease. The primary end point of 24 weeks PFS was 48.9% (95% CI: 34.6%, 61.7%). Median PFS was 5.5 months (95% CI: 4.4 months, 8.2 months). There were 39 patients (56.5%) with events of disease progression. Conclusions: Entospletinib monotherapy given with this dose and schedule was well tolerated and demonstrated activity in patients with advanced relapsed iNHL, including those with poor prognostic features. Further development of entospletinib in iNHL will focus on the development of combination approaches with chemotherapy and targeted agents. Figure 1. Figure 1. Figure 2. Figure 2.

Introduction RCHOP is the standard frontline treatment for patients with DLBCL. However, for patients with high-intermediate or high-risk disease (IPI 3-5), outcomes are suboptimal, with an estimated 3-year PFS of about 55%. In addition to IPI, an additional factor associated with an increased risk include non-GCB cell of origin. Brentuximab vedotin, an ADC targeting CD30, has demonstrated single-agent activity in relapsed/refractory DLBCL patients. Of note, higher ORR and CR, as well as longer duration of PFS, were observed in those patients with CD30 detected on tumor cells by routine IHC. Methods This phase 2 study was designed to evaluate combination therapy using brentuximab vedotin (BV) and standard RCHOP chemotherapy as frontline treatment in patients with high-intermediate/high risk (standard IPI score 3-5 or age-adjusted IPI [aaIPI] score 2-3) DLBCL, regardless of CD30 expression (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01925612). Patients were randomized to receive either 1.2 mg/kg BV+RCHOP or 1.8 mg/kg BV+RCHOP for up to 6 cycles of treatment. BV was given on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle. Response was assessed per investigator using Cheson 2007. AEs, physical examination findings, and laboratory testing were utilized to characterize safety. Tumor cell CD30 expression was measured by IHC and gene expression analysis; soluble CD30 was measured in plasma. Tumor microenvironment was also evaluated for frequency of immune-infiltrating cells. The primary endpoints for this study were the tolerability of each regimen and the CR rate at the end of treatment (EOT). Key secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS). Additional exploratory endpoints included CD30 expression on tumor specimens (CD30- defined as Results Twenty-nine patients were treated with 1.2 mg/kg BV+RCHOP and 22 patients were treated with 1.8 mg/kg BV+RCHOP. Over half (63%) were high-intermediate risk (IPI 3, aaIPI 2) and 37% were high risk (IPI 4-5, aaIPI 3). Most had Stage IV disease (71%) and 27% had an ECOG score of 2. AEs in ≥50% of patients included peripheral sensory neuropathy (63%), fatigue (61%), nausea (55%), and diarrhea (53%). Grade 3 or higher events occurred in 76% of patients; the most frequent were neutropenia (33%) and febrile neutropenia (31%). The PET-negative CR rate was 69% overall; CD30+ patients had a CR rate of 76% (19/25) compared with 63% (12/19) in CD30- patients by IHC. Although PFS data are still immature (median follow up of 8 months), the estimated PFS rate at 12 months was 82% (95% CI: 58, 93) in CD30+ patients and 56% (95% CI: 32, 75) in CD30- patients. 60% (3/5) of patients with CD30- ABC-DLBCL progressed versus 27% (3/11) of CD30+ ABC-DLBCL patients. Four patients with EBV+ DLBCL were treated and all achieved CR; 3 EBV+ patients remain in remission after a median follow-up of 12 months. Within the microenvironment, a higher percentage of CD3+ T-cells was observed in patients with CR (23%; range, 4-80%) than in those with PR (14%; range, 10-15%) or PD (11%; range, 5-15%). Of the 32 patients who have not yet progressed, 50% had ≥20% CD3+ cells compared to 18% of patients with PD (2/11). Other factors, including soluble CD30 levels and infiltrating CD68+ cells, were not associated with clinical outcomes. Conclusions Interim results demonstrate that adding BV to RCHOP results in a high rate of CR in this population of IPI 3-5 DLBCL. Patients with CD30-expression in the tumor appear to have a higher CR rate and fewer early progression events than patients with CD30- DLBCL. Furthermore, subsets of patients who have a particularly poor prognosis (CD30+ ABC subtype and EBV+ DLBCL) appeared to have a favorable outcome with BV+RCHOP. Evaluation of the tumor microenvironment showed that higher frequencies of infiltrating CD3+ cells were observed in the CR group, suggesting possible immunologic correlates of response. However, CD30 expression appears to have greater prognostic significance in this study despite the relatively small sample size. These results are intriguing and merit further testing in a randomized trial. Disclosures Yasenchak: Seattle Genetics, Inc.: Research Funding.

Background: Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is a mediator of B-cell receptor signaling in normal and transformed B-cells. GS-9973 is an orally bioavailable, selective inhibitor of Syk. Methods: This Phase 2 trial enrolled 41 patients with CLL and 15 patients with SLL treated with GS-9973 800 mg BID. Tumor imaging occurred at weeks 8, 16, 24 and then every 12. Response was independently evaluated according to Hallek 2008 as modified by Cheson 2012 for patients with CLL and Cheson 2007 for patients with SLL. Primary endpoint for the study was PFS at 24 weeks. Results: The median ages of CLL and SLL patients were 73 (range 51-89) and 70 (range 57-84), respectively. 68% of CLL subjects and 60% of SLL subjects were male. Ten patients had 17p deletions/TP53 mutations and 17 had SF3B1 or NOTCH1 mutation, or 11q22.3 deletion. The median number of prior regimens for CLL was 2 (range 1-8) and for SLL was 2 (range 1-10). Prior therapies included anti-CD20 antibodies (98%), alkylating agents (86%, [bendamustine 63%]) and fludarabine (66%). 12 CLL and 6 SLL patients are still on treatment; the median duration of treatment for all CLL and SLL patients was 36 weeks The most common treatment emergent AEs (any Grade/≥Gr 3, independent of causality) were fatigue (70%/7%), nausea (54%/2%), diarrhea(48%/0%), cough(34%/0%), dizziness (32%/2%), headache (29%/0%), pyrexia (29%/0%), decreased appetite (27%/2%), upper respiratory tract infection(27%/0%), constipation (23%/0%). Common laboratory abnormalities were increased AST (30%/5%), increased ALT (43%/4%), increased total bilirubin (41%/16%), anemia (50%/7%) and neutropenia (54%/29%). Forty-nine patients were treated for at least 8 weeks and 54 patients had ≥ 1 efficacy assessment, two patients discontinued prior to the first response assessment, one due to AE and one withdrew consent. Per investigator assessment, 51 out of 52 (98%) patients evaluable for SPD experienced reduced tumor bulk; 38 (73%) achieved a decrease of ≥ 50%. The ORR was 62.5% (95% CI: 48.6%, 75.1%), with 35 patients achieving a PR and no subject achieving a CR. Thirteen patients (23.2%) had stable disease. The primary end point of 24 weeks PFS was 72.3% (95% CI: 57.1%, 83.0%). Median PFS was 20.5 months (95% CI: 7.7 months, not reached). There were 24 patients (42.9%) with events, 22 (39%) with disease progression and two deaths (4%) attributed to septic pneumonia and pseudomonal infection which was unrelated to entospletinib by investigator assessment. Among the 35 responding patients, median DOR was 21.3 months (95% CI: 13.2 months, not reached). Results of an independent response assessment are pending and will be presented. Entospletinib was well tolerated and demonstrated substantial activity in patients with CLL, and SLL including those with poor prognostic features. Entospletinib activity seems comparable to that reported by other approved BCR pathway inhibitors with the median PFS reported for Idela of 15.8 months (Blood. 2014;123(22):3390-3397) and Ibrutinib reported 42.6% overall response rate and a PFS of 70-80% @ 12 months (ibrutinib PI) Current studies plans include studying Entospletinib in combination therapy.

Background Entospletinib (GS-9973) is an orally bioavailable, selective inhibitor of spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk). Syk is a mediator of B-cell receptor signaling in normal and transformed B-cells. Targeting the B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling pathway has been a successful therapeutic strategy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), with both ibrutinib, an inhibitor of BTK (BTKi) and idelalisib, an inhibitor of PI3Kdelta (PI3Ki), approved for this indication. Entospletinib activity in CLL was recently reported, and preclinical data suggested that entospletinib may be effective even in the context of resistance to BTK therapy, including that conferred by activation of PLCγ2. (Liu, Blood -2015-02-626846) Methods GS-US-339-0102 is an ongoing phase2 trial of entospletinib in CLL and NHL (NCT01799889). The study protocol was amended to add 40 patients in each of 2 CLL cohorts who have been previously treated with BCR signaling pathway (BTK/PI3K) inhibitors. These patients were treated with entospletinib monotherapy (400mg BID) and evaluated using modified Hallek/IWG-CLL criteria every 2-3 months as previously described in Sharman, Blood 2015:125(5). Results As of July 20, 2015, 8 patients with preceding BCR pathway signaling inhibitor treatment have been enrolled, 5 with preceding BTKi therapy (4 with ibrutinib, 1 with AVL-292) and 3 with preceding PI3Ki therapy (idelalisib). The median duration of preceding BTKi treatment was 51 weeks (range 2-85 weeks) and the median duration of preceding PI3Ki treatment was 106 weeks (range 74-168 weeks). Two patients had progressed on prior BTKi and 2 were intolerant (cause missing for 1 patient), while 2 patients progressed on PI3Ki and 1 was intolerant. All 5 patients with preceding BTKi and 2 out of 3 patients with prior PI3Ki remain on entospletinib treatment. Of the 5 patients who were previously treated with BTKi, the ongoing duration of treatment with entospletinib is 8, 8, 13, 25, and 39 weeks. For the 3 patients with preceding PI3Ki, two patients have ongoing treatment of 18 and 26 weeks; one patient stopped treatment and died after 23 weeks due to a cardiac arrest that is not believed to be related to the study drug. The most common treatment-emergent AEs (N=number; any Grade/≥Gr 3, independent of causality) were decreased appetite (3/0), contusion (2/0), dyspepsia (2/0), fatigue (2/0), dehydration (1/1), cardiac arrest (1/1); common laboratory abnormalities were anemia (5/1), neutropenia (4/1), thrombocytopenia (3/2), increased lipase (1/1). Early responses were seen with entospletinib treatment (3 partial response (PR), 1 stable disease, & 3 patients were too early to evaluate) and 1 PD. PR occurred in 1 BTKi and 2 PI3Ki previously treated patients. One patient with preceding PI3Ki developed progressive disease after 8 weeks. Conclusions Early experience from this trial with ongoing enrollment demonstrates that entospletinib has clinical activity following therapy with either BTKi or PI3Ki. No additional safety signals were seen from earlier studies. Additional investigation of treatment with entospletinib following progression with B-cell receptor signaling pathway inhibitors is warranted.

8506 Background: Pts with high-intermediate/high-risk DLBCL have relatively poor outcomes with R-CHOP. Single-agent brentuximab vedotin has shown activity in pts with relapsed or refractory DLBCL (...

Introduction Patients (pts) aged ≥60 yrs with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) have significantly inferior outcomes compared to younger pts due to factors including comorbidities, poorer performance status, advanced stage disease, and adverse biologic features (Evens 2008). Although standard frontline ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine) is curative for most pts, those aged ≥60 yrs commonly experience an increased incidence of regimen-related toxicity leading to suboptimal dosing and higher rates of relapse. New treatment options with better tolerability and improved efficacy are needed. Brentuximab vedotin (ADCETRIS®), an anti-CD30 antibody-drug conjugate, has a manageable safety profile and durable activity as a single-agent in relapsed HL. Brentuximab vedotin + dacarbazine had durable activity in preclinical tumor models (McEarchern 2010), and frontline brentuximab vedotin + AVD showed robust antitumor activity (96% complete remission [CR] rate) and manageable toxicity (Younes 2013). Because single-agent brentuximab vedotin demonstrates efficacy and safety in HL, and dacarbazine is a critical component of the ABVD regimen (Borchmann 2010) with demonstrated durability and tolerability, this phase 2, open-label, frontline study of brentuximab vedotin in HL pts aged ≥60 yrs was amended to evaluate efficacy and durability of response of brentuximab vedotin + dacarbazine (NCT01716806) in a setting of a high response rate and tolerability with monotherapy. Methods About 50 treatment-naïve pts aged ≥60 yrs with HL (30 monotherapy; 20 combination therapy) are to be enrolled. Eligible pts have ECOG ≤3 and are ineligible for or have declined conventional combination chemotherapy. For monotherapy, brentuximab vedotin 1.8 mg/kg is administered every 3 weeks for up to 16 or more cycles in pts achieving stable disease (SD) or better. For combination therapy, dacarbazine 375 mg/m2is given for Cycles 1–12, followed by monotherapy for Cycles 13–16. Pts with unacceptable toxicity to dacarbazine prior to completion of 12 cycles may receive monotherapy for a total of 16 cycles or more. Response assessments occur after Cycles 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 and every 6 cycles thereafter. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) per the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma (Cheson 2007). Key secondary endpoints include CR rate, progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. Results Thirty-three evaluable pts have enrolled thus far (n=27 monotherapy; n=6 combination). Median age for all pts was 77 yrs (range, 64–92), 58% were male, and 27% had ECOG 2–3. Most had stage III–IV disease (70%) and 48% had moderate age-related renal insufficiency at baseline (creatinine clearance 30–60 mL/min). Three pts had below normal (range, 40–50%) and 8 pts had borderline (range, 55–56%) cardiac ejection fraction at baseline. Pts have received a median of 7 cycles of monotherapy (range, 3–18) or 4 cycles of combination therapy (range, 1–7). Seven pts remain on monotherapy treatment, while 9 discontinued for progressive disease after achieving a CR or PR and 1 after SD, 7 for adverse events (AEs) (6 due to Grade 2 or 3 peripheral sensory or motor neuropathy; 1 due to a serious adverse event [SAE] of Grade 3 orthostatic hypotension), 2 for pt decision, and 1 for other, non-AE. All pts on combination therapy are still on treatment. The ORR for monotherapy was 93% (n=25) with a median PFS of 8.7 months to date (range, 2.6+ to 13.4+). The CR rate was 70% (n=19) and median PFS for pts with CR was also 8.7 months (range, 2.9+ to 13.4+). All 6 pts treated with combination therapy achieved an objective response (100% ORR; 2 CRs, 4 PRs) and median PFS has not been reached for these pts (range, 1.2+ to 2.8+ months). With monotherapy, treatment-related AEs ≥ Grade 3 occurring in >1 pt included peripheral sensory neuropathy (22%), peripheral motor neuropathy, and rash (7% each). With the combination, 1 pt had an SAE of Grade 3 clostridium difficile colitis attributed to dacarbazine. No related Grade 4 AEs occurred; no pts died within 30 days of last dose. Conclusions In this planned interim analysis, compelling antitumor activity with high ORRs (93% monotherapy; 100% combination) and acceptable tolerability are demonstrated with both brentuximab vedotin alone and with dacarbazine in a historically challenging HL population. Further study of highly active regimens incorporating brentuximab vedotin for elderly HL is anticipated. Disclosures Forero-Torres: Seattle Genetics, Inc.: Research Funding, Speakers Bureau.

Background: Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is a mediator of B-cell receptor signaling in normal and transformed B-cells. Entospletinib is an orally bioavailable, selective inhibitor of Syk (Kd 7.6 nM, no other kinase < 100 nM). Methods: This Phase 2 trial is evaluating Entospletinib 800 mg BID in a 41 subject cohort with previously treated FL in a study of 165 subjects with lymphoid malignancies. Tumor imaging was planned at weeks 8, 16, 24 and then every 12. Tumor response was assessed per Cheson 2007 criteria. Results: For the subjects with FL included in this analysis, median age was 67 years (range 41 – 89), 49% were male. The median number of prior Rx regimens was 2 (range 1-8). Prior treatments (Rxs) included anti-CD20 antibodies (rituximab 100%, ofatumumab 5%), alkylating agents (95%; bendamustine 51%) and anthracyclines (51%). Baseline risk factors: Ann Arbor Stg III-IV (66%), Gr 3a FL (27%), FLIPI ≥3 (34%). At the time of this analysis, 41 subjects with follicular lymphoma were enrolled and 38 subjects have been treated through first response assessment (1 subject ongoing prior to first response assessment, 1subject discontinued due to AE and 1 subject withdrew consent). Entospletinib was generally well tolerated. The most common TEAEs (any Grade/≥Gr 3, independent of causality) were fatigue (46%/12%), nausea (42%/2%), diarrhea(27%/0%), decreased appetite (22%/0%), vomiting (22%/0%) and common laboratory abnormalities were increased AST (37%/17%), increased ALT (34%/20%), increased total bilirubin (27%/5%), anemia (34%/10%) and neutropenia (22%/10%). Reversible Grade 3 or 4 ALT/AST elevations occurred in 8 (19.5%) FL subjects. 3 subjects died while on study: 2 from progressive disease and 1 from acute renal failure investigator reported as unrelated to study drug. Investigator response assessments are available for 29 subjects, 16/29 (55%) subjects experienced reduced tumor bulk measured by SPD; 3 (10%) achieved a decrease of ≥ 50%. CR has not been observed at this early evaluation. 14/41 subjects continue on Rx. Median duration of Rx for all patients was 15 weeks. Among all patients who experienced reduction in tumor volume, median duration of Rx was 25 weeks (range 4-51). Conclusions: Entospletinib monotherapy given with this dose and schedule was generally well tolerated and demonstrated moderate activity in subjects with advanced relapsed FL, including those with poor prognostic features. Updated data with longer follow-up duration will be presented at the meeting. Disclosures Sharman: Gilead Sciences: Research Funding. Klein:Gilead Sciences: Research Funding.

e19538 Background: Most patients (pts) with HL are cured with conventional chemotherapy (CT) +/-radiotherapy. For pts with PD, treatment options include conventional CT, autologous transplant, and allogeneic transplant. Few studies have defined the cost of therapy for PD. This study aimed to assess the economic burden of PD among pts with HL receiving 2nd and 3rd line therapy in a large network of community-based practices in the U.S.A. Methods: This retrospective, observational cohort analysis used the electronic health record (EHR) database maintained by McKesson Specialty Health/US Oncology Network to examine adult pts with classical HL who received CT (1st, 2nd, or 3rd line) between 1 Jan 2007 and 31 Dec 2011 and met all eligibility criteria. EHRs were supplemented with chart review and with data from the Claims Data Warehouse. Costs were derived from 2007 Medicare reimbursement rates and presented descriptively.

Title Phase 2 Trial of GS-9973, a selective Syk inhibitor, has Activity in Subjects with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Introduction Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is an essential mediator of B-cell receptor signaling in normal and transformed B-cells. GS-9973 is an orally bioavailable, small-molecule, selective inhibitor of Syk. The Kd of GS-9973 for Syk was 7.6 nM with no other kinase < 100 nM (Ambit scanMax at 10 mM). Methods and Subjects This Phase 2 trial enrolled subjects with CLL (1 cohort) or NHL (4 cohorts) of 40 subjects each. All subjects were treated with GS-9973 800 mg BID. Tumor imaging was conducted at weeks 8, 16, 24 and every 12 weeks thereafter. Response was evaluated according to standard criteria for CLL (Hallek 2008 and Cheson 2012). GS-9973 plasma levels were obtained throughout the study and concurrently obtained circulating CD5+CD19+ leukemic cells were assessed for changes in pSyk, pBLNK, pBTK and pAKT expression using a PhosFlow protocol. Chemokine/cytokine plasma levels were assessed using multiplexed bead suspension arrays. Results This study initiated in March 2013. At time of data lock, 56 subjects with CLL/SLL (32) or NHL(24) have been enrolled. 18 subjects with CLL/SLL and 16 subjects with NHL (10 iNHL, 3 DLBCL and 3 MCL) have completed ≥ 4 weeks of treatment and are included in the safety analysis. Median age was 71 (range 55 - 88), 65% were male. The median number of prior treatment regimens was 5 (range 1-14). All CLL/SLL subjects had received an anti-CD20 antibody, 89% had received an alkylating agent (56% had bendamustine) and 72% had received fludarabine. Investigator assessed week 8 efficacy analysis is available for 22/54 patients which included 13 CLL/SLL subjects, 7 of whom had 17p deletions and/or TP53 mutations. At the week 8 evaluation all subjects experienced reduced tumor bulk: 4 subjects achieved a decrease of > 50% in their measurable lymph node disease; 8 had < 50% decrease. One subject with a marked decrease in peripheral lymphadenopathy had unequivocal progression of non-measurable mediastinal disease and was considered to have disease progression. The waterfall plot is provided; the striped bars represent those CLL/SLL subjects with a 17p deletion and/or TP53 mutation. GS-9973 was generally well tolerated. 30 of 34 (88%) of subjects experienced an adverse event. All treatment emergent adverse events occurring in ≥ 10% of 34 subjects are listed in the table. Reversible Grade 3 or 4 transaminase elevations occurred in 4 subjects. Two of the 34 subjects who received at least 1 dose of GS-9973 died while on study: 1 from progressive disease, 1 from pneumonia that occurred after 7 days on study. The absolute lymphocyte count in CLL/SLL subjects increased a mean of 200%, by day 8 and then declined. Decreases in pSyk levels occurred in leukemic cells from 8 of 11 CLL/SLL subjects. The results of the disease-associated chemokines/cytokines assays are pending. Conclusions GS-9973 given on this dose and schedule was generally well tolerated. At the initial 8-week response assessment GS-9973 demonstrated activity in subjects with CLL/SLL, including those with poor prognostic features. Updated data on the larger cohort of CLL/SLL subjects will be presented. Disclosures: Sharman: Gilead Sciences: Research Funding. Hawkins:Gilead Sciences: Employment, Equity Ownership.

Introduction Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in patients aged ≥60 years has disproportionately inferior outcomes as compared to HL in younger patients. This can be mostly attributed to treatment-related factors that compromise cure rates. Comorbidities in older patients are associated with higher rates of treatment-related toxicities and can prevent delivery of standard intensity and/or duration of chemotherapy. A retrospective multicenter analysis showed an increased incidence of bleomycin-associated pulmonary toxicity (32%; with a mortality rate of 25%) in HL patients aged ≥ 60 who received ABVD for frontline therapy (Evens 2012). Novel therapeutic approaches with improved efficacy and tolerability are needed for this population. Brentuximab vedotin (ADCETRIS®) is an antibody-drug conjugate that comprises an anti-CD30 antibody conjugated by a protease-cleavable linker to a microtubule-disrupting agent, monomethyl auristatin E. Robust antitumor activity and acceptable toxicity has been demonstrated in HL patients who relapse after conventional chemotherapy or autologous stem cell transplant. A retrospective analysis of patients aged ≥60 years with relapsed/refractory CD30+ lymphomas across 7 single-agent brentuximab vedotin studies showed antitumor activity and clinical response duration consistent with those observed in younger patients (Fanale 2012). Thus, this ongoing phase 2, single-arm, open-label study was initiated to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of brentuximab vedotin as frontline monotherapy for HL patients aged ≥60 years (NCT01716806). Methods The population to be enrolled includes ∼30 treatment-naïve patients with classical HL (Stages I–IV). Eligible patients must be aged ≥60 years, have an ECOG status ≤3, and be ineligible for or have declined conventional chemotherapy. Brentuximab vedotin 1.8 mg/kg is administered every 3 weeks by IV infusion. Patients achieving stable disease (SD) or better can receive up to 16 cycles of treatment, after which therapy can be continued for those experiencing clinical benefit. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma (Cheson 2007). Response assessments are performed at Cycles 2, 4, 8, 12, and EOT (including PET at Cycles 2, 8, and EOT). Results Thirteen patients with treatment-naïve classical HL have been enrolled to date. Median age was 75 years (range, 64 to 92) and approximately half of the patients were male (54%). Seven patients (54%) had moderate age-related renal insufficiency at baseline (creatinine clearance ≥30 and Of the 11 patients with a response assessment (see table), the ORR was 82% (n=9) and the complete remission (CR) rate was 64% (n=7). For the 10 patients who had interim PET scans after 2 cycles of therapy, the mean decrease in maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) between baseline and Cycle 2 was 83%. Cycle 2 PET scans were negative (Deauville Score 1-3) in 36% of patients, and the range of duration of response was 0.1+ to 20.6+ weeks thus far. Treatment-related adverse events (AEs) occurring in ≥15% of patients included neutrophil count decreased, peripheral sensory neuropathy, pruritus, and rash (n=2 each); most events were Grade 1 or 2. Grade 3 treatment-related AEs included neutrophil count decreased, rash, and orthostatic hypotension (n=1 each). No Grade 4 or 5 events have been observed to date. Conclusions In this interim analysis of patients aged ≥60 years with newly diagnosed HL, compelling antitumor activity with single-agent brentuximab vedotin has been demonstrated. To date, a response rate of 82% has been shown in this historically challenging population of patients who either declined or were not eligible for standard chemotherapy. Preliminary safety data demonstrate tolerability in this patient population and the data are consistent with the current safety profile of brentuximab vedotin.

7514 Background: Dysregulation of MET and VEGFR2 signaling has been observed in NSCLC and MET upregulation has been implicated in resistance to EGFR inhibitors. Cabozantinib (cabo) is an oral, potent inhibitor of MET and VEGFR2. A RDT evaluated activity and safety in 9 tumor types. Here we report on the metastatic NSCLC cohort which included patients who received prior EGFR and VEGF pathway targeted therapy. Methods: All eligible patients (pts) were required to have measurable disease at baseline. Pts received cabo at 100 mg qd over a 12 wk Lead-in stage. Tumor response (mRECIST) was assessed q6 wks. Treatment ≥ wk 12 was based on response: pts with PR continued open-label cabo, pts with SD were randomized to cabo vs placebo, and pts with PD discontinued. Results: Enrollment to this cohort is complete (n = 60); all pts are unblinded. Baseline characteristics: median age 67 years; adenocarcinoma 72% and squamous cell 28%; 6 pts with known EGFR mutation (of 28 tested), all having received prior erlotinib; bone metastases 20%; median prior lines of therapy 3 (range 0 - 6); prior exposure to anti-EGFR therapy 50%, prior exposure to anti-VEGF pathway therapy 32%. Median follow-up was 2 months (range 0.4 - 22.3 months). At Wk 12, ORR per RECIST was 10% and overall disease control rate (PR+SD) was 40%. Objective tumor regression was observed in 30/47 pts (64%) with post-baseline tumor assessments, some of whom had known driver mutations in KRAS (3 pts) or EGFR (4 pts). 24 pts (40%) completed Lead-in stage with 15 randomized to continue cabo (N = 8) or to placebo (N = 7). No differences with respect to PFS were observed between treatment arms in the randomized phase of the study. Median PFS from study day 1 for all pts was 4.2 months. Most common Grade 3/4 AEs were fatigue (13%), Palmar-plantar erythrodyesthesia (8%), diarrhea (7%) and asthenia (7%); one related Grade 5 AE of hemorrhage was reported during Lead-in stage. Conclusions: Cabo treatment demonstrates activity in heavily pretreated metastatic NSCLC pts with 4.2 months median PFS, 10% RECIST response, and 64% rate of objective tumor regression. The safety profile of cabo was comparable to that seen with other VEGFR TKIs. Future studies are warranted in NSCLC.

535 Background: Dysregulation of MET and VEGF signaling has been implicated in breast cancer development and progression, including tumor invasion and dissemination. Cabozantinib (cabo) is an oral, potent inhibitor of MET and VEGFR2. A RDT evaluated activity and safety in 9 tumor types, including MBC. Methods: Eligible patients (pts) were required to have progressive measurable disease per RECIST. Pts received cabo at 100 mg qd over a 12 wk Lead-in stage. Tumor response (mRECIST) was assessed q6 wks. Treatment ≥ wk 12 was based on response: pts with PR continued open-label cabo, pts with SD were randomized to cabo vs placebo, and pts with PD discontinued. Primary endpoint in the randomized discontinuation phase was progression-free survival (PFS). Results: Enrollment to this cohort is complete (n = 45); all pts are unblinded. Baseline characteristics: median age 56; invasive ductal 86%, invasive lobular 7%; ER+ 93%, HER2+ 18%, triple- 5%; visceral disease 91%; bone metastases 73%; median prior lines of therapy 3 (range 1-8), including 71% with prior anthracyclines. Median follow-up was 2.9 mos (range 0.1 -16). 21 pts (47%) completed Lead-in stage with only 9 randomized to continue cabo (n = 5) or placebo (n = 4). Median PFS from Study Day 1 was 4.1 mos. At wk 12, objective response rate was 14% and disease control rate 48%. Tumor regression was observed in 25/39 pts (64%) with ≥1 post-baseline tumor assessment. 4/10 pts evaluable by bone scan had partial resolution of bone lesions. Of 12 pts receiving narcotics for bone pain, 5 pts reported improved pain and 2 pts had decreased narcotics use, per investigator. 4/14 evaluable pts (29%) with bone metastases experienced ≥50% decline in serum NTx. Most common Grade 3/4 AEs were palmar-plantar erythrodyesthesia (13%) and fatigue (11%). One related Grade 5 AE of respiratory compromise was reported during the Lead-in stage. Conclusions: Cabo demonstrated a 14% rate of objective tumor regression in heavily pretreated MBC pts. Observed effects on bone scan and pain are consistent with those seen in other malignancies. The safety profile of cabo was comparable to that seen with other VEGFR TKIs.

3069 Background: CD30 is commonly expressed in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), and testicular embryonal carcinoma. Expression of CD30 in other solid tumors and non-lymphomatous malignancies has been reported but not investigated systematically. CD30 is the target of brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris), an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) that is approved for the treatment of patients with relapsed HL and systemic ALCL after failure of other therapies. A study was initiated to determine the incidence of CD30 expression in non-lymphomatous malignancies and to identify patients who may be candidates for treatment with brentuximab vedotin. Methods: Patients with non-lymphomatous malignancies were eligible for screening if they were relapsed or refractory to previous therapy or had no effective treatment options available. Archived tissue from solid tumors was tested for CD30 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC); fresh bone marrow or blood samples from multiple myeloma or leukemia patients were tested by flow cytometry. Patients were considered CD30 positive and eligible for a companion treatment protocol with brentuximab vedotin if ≥10% of malignant cells stained positive by IHC or ≥20% by flow cytometry. Results: At this interim analysis, a total of 875 patients have been tested for CD30 expression: 95% had solid tumors, 3% had leukemia, and 2% had multiple myeloma. Twenty-two patients (2.5%) were CD30 positive, including 7 of 94 patients with ovarian cancer (7%), 5 of 20 with melanoma (25%), 2 of 5 with mesothelioma (40%), 1 of 4 with skin squamous cell carcinoma (25%), 2 of 41 with triple negative breast cancer (5%), 1 of 37 with pancreatic cancer (3%), 1 of 26 with small cell lung cancer (4%), and 1 of 3 with anal cancer (33%), and thyroid carcinoma (33%). One patient was identified with CD30-positive mast cell leukemia. In positive patients, the percent of CD30-positive malignant cells varied between 10 and 80%. Conclusions: CD30 expression was observed in multiple types of non-lymphomatous malignancies, thereby identifying additional populations who may be candidates for treatment with a CD30-targeted ADC, such as brentuximab vedotin. A companion clinical trial with brentuximab vedotin is currently ongoing.

Background: Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) recovery is an independent prognostic factor for survival for different hematological malignancies treated with autologous stem cell transplantation. Recently, we reported superior overall survival (OS) in patients with follicular lymphomas that presented with a higher ALC (ALC ≥ 1 x 109/L) at diagnosis. The role of ALC at diagnosis on survival in T cell lymphomas is not known. Methods: All patients evaluated at the Mayo Clinic for T cell lymphomas from October 1984 until April 2005 were analyzed in the study. The primary objective of the study was to assess the role of ALC at diagnosis and survival in T cell lymphomas. ALC at diagnosis was obtained from the standard complete blood cell count (CBC). Results: 223 patients with T cell lymphomas were included in the study. The histology included: peripheral T-cell lymphoma-unspecified (40%), anaplastic large cell (13%), angioimmunoblastic (10%), angiocentric (4%), intestinal T-cell (2%), and other (31%). The median follow-up was 18.6 months (range: 1 month – 229 months [19 years]). The sample population included 60% male and 40% females with a median age of 60 years (15–90 years). The median ALC at diagnosis was 1.2 x 109/L (range: 0.04–6.7 x 109/L). ALC as a continuous variable was identified as predictor for OS in the univariate analysis (HR= 0.690, 95%CI: 0.542–0.862, p < 0.0006). ALC ≥ 1 x 109/L was selected as the dichotomized value because it yielded the maximum difference in survival by c2 analysis looking at different cut-point from 0.6 to 1.7 x 109/L that were included between the 25% and 75% quartiles. Univariately, ALC ≥ 1 x 109/L was also identified as a predictor for OS (HR = 0.682, 95%CL= 0.578–0.804, p < 0.0001). Patients (N = 122) with an ALC ≥ 1 x 109/L experienced superior survival compared to patients (N = 101) with an ALC < 1 x 109/L [median OS: 76.3 vs 10.6 months, respectively; and 5 years OS estimates of 53% vs 23%, respectively, p < 0.0001]. When ALC ≥ 1 x 109/L was compared to the international prognostic index (IPI), ALC ≥ 1 x 109/L remained an independent predictor for survival in the multivariate analysis (HR = 0.779, 95%CL: 0.655–0.925, p < 0.004). Conclusion: This study demonstrates ALC as an independent predictor for OS in T cell lymphomas, suggesting that the host immune system affects survival in this group of patients.
