As the Cantor-derived medium-entropy alloys (MEAs), FeNiCoMn and FeNiCrMn quaternaries in both equiatomic and non-equiatomic compositions were investigated by density functional theory combined with the quasiharmonic Debye–Grüneisen approximation using the special-quasirandom structure model. The structural properties, magnetic properties, and thermodynamics and phase stability were explored in detail. The temperature stabilization effect of lattice vibration, configurational mixing entropy, and thermal electronic excitation was discussed. Also FeNiCoPd and FeNiCrPd quaternaries, in which Mn was replaced by Pd, were considered in the same framework in order to highlight the similarities and differences between these Mn- and Pd-MEAs. The phase stability competition between homogeneous and inhomogeneous states in terms of both size and chemical ordering was revealed for four groups of FeNiCoMn, FeNiCoPd, FeNiCrMn, and FeNiCrPd MEAs.

Theoretical calculations predict several long-range ordered sub-stoichiometric zirconium carbide phases to be stable at low temperature, rather than a random (disordered solution) distribution of vacancies. However, experimental synthesis of vacancy-ordered phases is extremely challenging and not all predicted phases have been experimentally observed. It has been hypothesised that the inevitable oxygen contamination in experimental samples may affect the vacancy ordering. In this work, the stability and structural properties of the vacancy-ordered and vacancy-disordered phases are investigated as a function of oxygen defect concentration using first-principles calculations. The observed trends are explained in terms of changes to the local bonding in the presence of varying amounts of oxygen and vacancies. It is found that the relative stability of the ordered phases (compared to the disordered phase at the same composition) decreases as oxygen concentration increases, and some vacancy-ordered phases are destabilised by the level of oxygen impurities found in experimental samples. This suggests that oxygen contamination is a contributing factor to the challenge of synthesising ordered zirconium carbides, and gives insight that may assist fabrication in the future. The volume of all ZrC

Vacancy-ordered superstructural phases of zirconium carbide have been intermittently observed at low temperatures for over 50 years. However, little is known about these ordered phases as they have proven to be challenging to fabricate experimentally, although theoretical predictions suggest that they should be significantly more stable than the more-observed vacancy-disordered solid solution ZrCx (x ≤ 1) phase at low temperatures. The stability and structural properties of the vacancy-ordered and vacancy-disordered phases are investigated using first-principles calculations. The stability of the ordered superstructural phases is related to the driving force from the relative instability of certain vacancy configurations, which are preferred or avoided in ordered structures. The trend of the vacancy ordering and the underlying mechanisms of the relative instability are explained in terms of the geometry of the crystal structures and the electronic charge distribution and atomic bonding features.

Signaling through JAK1 and/or JAK2 is common among tumor and nontumor cells within peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). No oral therapies are approved for PTCL, and better treatments for relapsed/refractory disease are urgently needed. We conducted a phase 2 study of the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib for patients with relapsed/refractory PTCL (n = 45) or mycosis fungoides (MF) (n = 7). Patients enrolled onto 1 of 3 biomarker-defined cohorts: (1) activating JAK and/or STAT mutations, (2) ≥30% pSTAT3 expression among tumor cells by immunohistochemistry, or (3) neither or insufficient tissue to assess. Patients received ruxolitinib 20 mg PO twice daily until progression and were assessed for response after cycles 2 and 5 and every 3 cycles thereafter. The primary endpoint was clinical benefit rate (CBR), defined as the combination of complete response, partial response (PR), and stable disease lasting at least 6 months. Only 1 of 7 patients with MF had CBR (ongoing PR > 18 months). CBR among the PTCL cases (n = 45) in cohorts 1, 2, and 3 were 53%, 45%, and 13% (cohorts 1 & 2 vs 3, P = .02), respectively. Eight patients had CBR > 12 months (5 ongoing), including 4 of 5 patients with T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia. In an exploratory analysis using multiplex immunofluorescence, expression of phosphorylated S6, a marker of PI3 kinase or mitogen-activated protein kinase activation, in

PURPOSE We conducted a phase II study evaluating pembrolizumab plus gemcitabine, vinorelbine, and liposomal doxorubicin (pembro-GVD) as second-line therapy for relapsed or refractory (rel/ref) classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03618550 ). METHODS Transplant eligible patients with rel/ref cHL following first-line therapy were treated with two to four cycles of pembrolizumab (200 mg intravenous [IV], day 1), gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m2 IV, days 1 and 8), vinorelbine (20 mg/m2 IV, days 1 and 8), and liposomal doxorubicin (15 mg/m2, days 1 and 8), given on 21-day cycles. The primary end point was complete response (CR) following up to four cycles of pembro-GVD. Patients who achieved CR by labeled fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (Deauville ≤ 3) after two or four cycles proceeded to high-dose therapy and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HDT/AHCT). HDT/AHCT was carried out according to institutional standards, and brentuximab vedotin maintenance was allowed following HDT/AHCT. RESULTS Of 39 patients enrolled, 41% had primary ref disease and 38% relapsed within 1 year of frontline treatment. 31 patients received two cycles of pembro-GVD, and eight received four cycles. Most adverse events were grade 1 or two, whereas few were grade 3 and included transaminitis (n = 4), neutropenia (n = 4), mucositis (n = 2), thyroiditis (n = 1), and rash (n = 1). Of 38 evaluable patients, overall and CR rates after pembro-GVD were 100% and 95%, respectively. Thirty-six (95%) patients proceeded to HDT/AHCT, two received pre-HDT/AHCT involved site radiation, and 13 (33%) received post-HDT/AHCT brentuximab vedotin maintenance. All 36 transplanted patients are in remission at a median post-transplant follow-up of 13.5 months (range: 2.66-27.06 months). CONCLUSION Second-line therapy with pembro-GVD is a highly effective and well-tolerated regimen that can efficiently bridge patients with rel/ref cHL to HDT/AHCT.

In this work, the sensitivity zone of microstructure and temperature for precipitation-strengthened nickel-based superalloys, used for turbine applications in aero-engines, has been firstly established. Heat treatment experiments with different solution temperatures were carried out. The microstructure evolution and creep residual strain sensitivity, low cycle fatigue properties, and tensile properties are analyzed, and the essential reason for the fluctuation of the mechanical properties of nickel-based superalloys was revealed. The main results obtained are as follows: following subsolvus solution heat treatment with a temperature of 1020 °C, samples have a high primary γ′I phase content, which is beneficial to low creep residual strain. Above the supersolvus solution temperature of 1040 °C, the creep residual strain value and low cycle fatigue performance fluctuate significantly. The essential reason for the dramatic fluctuation of performance is the presence of γ′ phases in different sizes and quantities, especially following the solution heat treatment in the temperature-sensitive zone of the γ′I phase, which is likely to cause huge fluctuations in the microstructure of tertiary γ′III phases. A zone of particular sensitivity in terms of temperature and microstructure for the γ′I phase is proposed. The range of suitable solution temperatures are discussed. In order to maintain stable mechanical properties without large fluctuations, the influence of the sensitivity within this temperature and microstructure zone on the γ′ phase should be considered.

Equitable access to high-quality higher education is in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 4, 5, and 10, which indicate that it is crucial for a future sustainable society. Globalisation and reductions in systemic barriers to university admission are creating increasingly diverse higher education classrooms, but traditional education methods may unfairly disadvantage some groups of students. Creating equity in access to high-quality education requires teaching approaches that are considerate of each student’s individual sociocultural context as it affects their educational attainment. Building on discipline-based education research (DBER) principles in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, a modified holistic approach is proposed that primarily centres on students and tailors the teaching methods to the needs of the individuals and the dynamic of the whole class. This work demonstrates that educational attainment and student confidence was improved by applying an individual-centred teaching approach in a highly diverse undergraduate engineering classroom. Trials of this approach in a pilot classroom showed clear and consistent improvement over standard active learning approaches. Best practice guidelines for individual-centred teaching in STEM classrooms are provided. Further work is needed to examine the efficacy of this approach in a generalised setting, but the positive outcomes for student attainment are in line with existing research in the literature. The best practice guidelines presented herein may serve as a starting point for other educators to become more aware of the sociocultural needs of their individual students and classrooms, which may result in a move towards equity in STEM higher education.

Introduction: The standard approach for relapsed or refractory (RR) classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) following front-line treatment failure is second line therapy (SLT) aimed to achieve complete response (CR), followed by consolidation with high dose therapy and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HDT/AHCT). No one standard SLT exists and options include regimens containing platinum, gemcitabine, and more recently brentuximab vedotin (BV). Complete response rates associated with these regimens range from 50-70%. Due to the increasing use of BV in the front-line setting, development of SLT regimens that are both highly effective and BV-sparing are needed. Programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are highly active in RR cHL and have the potential to enhance the efficacy of standard chemotherapy. Here we report the results of our phase II study evaluating a novel anti-PD-1-based regimen, pembrolizumab plus gemcitabine, vinorelbine, and liposomal doxorubicin (pembrolizumab-GVD), as SLT for RR cHL. Methods: Transplant eligible patients (pts) with RR cHL following failure of 1-line of therapy were eligible. Treatment consisted of 2 to 4 cycles of pembrolizumab (200mg IV, day 1), gemcitabine (1000mg/m2 IV, days 1 and 8), vinorelbine (20mg/m2 IV, days 1 and 8) and liposomal doxorubicin (15mg/m2, days 1 and 8), given on 21-day cycles. Pts who achieved CR by PET (Deauville ≤3) after 2 or 4 cycles proceeded to HDT/AHCT. HDT/AHCT was carried out according to institutional standards and BV maintenance was allowed following HDT/AHCT. The primary endpoint was CR rate after 2 or 4 cycles of pembrolizumab-GVD. Enrollment occurred according to a Simon 2-stage design with sample size based upon a projected CR rate of 70%. In stage 1, 23 pts enrolled and 12 or more CRs were required to proceed to stage II; in stage II, an additional 16 pts enrolled. Out of a total of 39 pts, 24 CRs were required to declare this regimen promising. Results: Among 39 patients enrolled, 37 are evaluable for toxicity (2 pts have not yet started treatment) and 34 are evaluable for response (4 pts too early, 1 pt found to have composite lymphoma after enrollment). Of 37 treated pts, median age is 36 (range 21-71), 43% are male, 23 (62%) had advanced stage disease, and 15 (41%) had primary refractory disease. With regard to RR cHL risk factors (B-symptoms, extranodal disease, and relapse/refractory disease within 1 year of initial treatment), 4(11%) had no risk factors (RFs), 21 (57%) had 1 RF, 9 (24%) had 2 RFs, and 3 (8%) had all 3 RFs. Treatment was well tolerated with most adverse events being grade 1 or 2 (see figure 1). Grade 3 AEs included rash (n=1), elevated AST/ALT (n=3), oral mucositis (n=2), and neutropenia (n=3). Figure 2 shows the outcome for all 37 treated pts. Among 34 evaluable pts, 31 (91%) achieved CR after 2 cycles and 3 achieved partial response. An additional 1 pt achieved CR after 4 cycles of pembrolizumab-GVD, therefore in total, 32 of 34 (94%) achieved CR following pembrolizumab-GVD. 4 pts with CR after 2 cycles received an additional 2 cycles of pembrolizumab-GVD in order to delay HDT/AHCT during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic (n=3) or due to refusing HDT/ASCT (n=1). To date, 32 have undergone HDT/AHCT following 2 (n=27) or 4 (n=5) cycles of treatment. 1 pt is awaiting HDT/AHCT; 1 pt refused HDT/ASCT and received pembrolizumab maintenance instead. 2 pts received involved site radiation therapy to initial area of relapsed disease prior to planned HDT/AHCT and 10 pts received post-HDT/ASCT maintenance with BV. Median follow-up post-HDT/AHCT is 9 mos (range 0.03-20.9 mos) and all pts remain in remission to date. Conclusion: Second-line therapy with pembrolizumab-GVD is a highly effective and well-tolerated regimen that can efficiently bridge pts with RR cHL to HDT/AHCT. Updated results including all 39 enrolled pts will be presented at the meeting. Given the high CR rate observed with pembrolizumab-GVD, an expansion cohort evaluating 8 cycles of pembrolizumab maintenance (instead of HDT/AHCT) for patients who achieve CR after 4 cycles of pembrolizumab-GVD is planned.

Phase diagrams obtained from first-principles have the potential to reduce time and expense by guiding experimental investigations for materials design applications. However, simply substituting all experimental data with calculated single phase quantities alone has generally shown limited success in the standard CALPHAD modelling of binary or multicomponent systems. In this work, the solid aluminium-nickel system is described using Bragg-Williams-Gorsky approximations in combination with order-disorder partitioning models, where all parameters are obtained directly from first-principles calculation without optimisation considering any phase diagram data. The resulting phase diagram reproduces all major features of the experimentally known phase diagram at a practical application level. This work demonstrates that by careful consideration of the Gibbs energy models and the accuracy of the first-principles calculation, it is possible to obtain a first-principles CALPHAD-type thermodynamic description without conventional optimisation based on experimental data.

Introduction: Peripheral and cutaneous T cell lymphomas (TCL) are highly heterogeneous diseases that in the relapsed/refractory (R/R) stage have poor outcome. JAK/STAT, Pi3K/AKT and MAP kinase signaling are commonly involved in the pathogenesis of these lymphomas, and the efficacy of small molecule inhibitors targeting these pathways is being assessed in phase II trials. However, biomarkers to define patients most likely to benefit from specific inhibitors are lacking and mechanisms of acquired resistance in TCLs have not been reported. Methods: We are conducting two early phase trials in R/R TCL: 1) NCT02974647 targets JAK1/JAK2 with ruxolitinib (RUX, a JAK 1-2 inhibitor) and has enrolled 53 patients and 2) NCT02783625 targets Pi3K/AKT with duvelisib (DUV, a Pi3K gamma-delta inhibitor) in combination with either romidepsin or bortezomib and has enrolled 92 patients. We analyzed pre-, on and post- treatment biopsies with multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) using the Vectra platform, and analyzed images for marker expression and cellular location using HALO software. We designed multiple mIF panels with 6 markers per slide, 3 identifying TCL cells based on disease-specific phenotypes (e.g. CD4+PD1+CD8- for angioimmunoblastic TCL), pSTAT3,5, pS6, and a macrophage marker (CD68). Areas of TCL involvement within biopsy slides were manually defined during image analysis based on mIF and comparison to clinical immunohistochemistry. Differences in marker expressions were analyzed with the Wilcoxon test using the program R. Results: We analyzed 53 biopsies from 39 patients with high-quality mIF images, of which 17 were from lymph nodes and 36 were from extranodal sites. Of 39 patients, 13 were treated with RUX (9 biopsies pre-, 7 on, 4 post- treatment) and 26 with DUV (20 biopsies pre-, 6 on, 10 post- treatment). Median number of total TCL cells in pre-treatment biopsies was 1041 (range, 97-6463) and median TCL cell fraction within involved areas was 27.86% (range, 5.12-88.02%). Median macrophage fraction within involved areas was 5.92% (range, 2.89-11.88%). For either agent, response to treatment was not associated with: 1) quantity of macrophages (p=0.1 for responders vs non-responders to DUV, p=0.53 for RUX), 2) average distance between TCL cells and closest macrophage, 3) TCL cell fraction within involved areas, or 4) fraction of TCL cells expressing pSTAT3/5 (Figure).

Introduction:Programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors are highly active in relapsed and refractory (RR) classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), however their role as part of second-line therapy (SLT) for cHL is largely unexplored. The standard approach following front-line treatment failure is SLT, aimed to achieve complete response (CR), followed by consolidation with high dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplant (HDT/ASCT). There is no one standard SLT and options include platinum-containing regimens, gemcitabine-containing regimens and more recently brentuximab vedotin (BV)-containing regimens. Due to the increasing use of BV in the front-line setting, development of SLT regimens that are both highly effective and BV-sparing are needed. In this phase II study, we aimed to establish the safety and efficacy of SLT with the PD-1 inhibitor, pembrolizumab, combined with the outpatient-administered salvage regimen, GVD (gemcitabine, vinorelbine, liposomal doxorubicin). Methods: Transplant eligible patients (pts) with RR cHL following failure of 1-line of therapy are eligible. Treatment consists of 2 to 4 cycles of pembrolizumab (200mg IV, day 1), gemcitabine (1000mg/m2 IV, days 1 and 8), vinorelbine (20mg/m2 IV, days 1 and 8) and liposomal doxorubicin (15mg/m2, days 1 and 8), given on 21-day cycles. Response is assessed by PET after 2 and 4 cycles. Pts who achieve CR by PET (Deauville ≤3) after 2 or 4 cycles proceed to HDT/ASCT. An initial safety assessment for the first 6 treated pts was completed before continuing further enrollment. We report here the results of the safety assessment and the first stage of a Simon 2-stage design. Results:To date, 18 out of a planned 39 pts enrolled; 14 completed the first 2 cycles of treatment and underwent the first response assessment. Characteristics for the 14 evaluable pts are shown in the table. In brief, median age is 36 (range 21-43), 4 (29%) have primary refractory disease and 9 (64%) relapsed within the first year of initial treatment. No dose limiting toxicities were observed during the safety assessment and no significant adverse events were observed to date. Of the 30 cycles administered, 5 (17%) cycles were delayed due to treatment related adverse events which included grade 3 rash (3%) and grade 3 liver function test abnormalities (13%). Among the 14 evaluable pts, 13 (93%) achieved CR after 2 cycles of treatment and 1 achieved partial response. To date, 3 pts are proceeding to HDT/ASCT and 11 pts completed HDT/ASCT following 2 (n=10) or 4 (n=1) cycles of treatment. Median follow-up post HDT/ASCT is 4 mos (range 0.3-8.8 mos) and all pts remain in remission to date. Conclusion:Early trial results suggest that pembrolizumab-GVD is a highly effective and well-tolerated regimen that can efficiently bridge pts with RR cHL to HDT/ASCT. Efficacy criteria for stage one of the Simon 2-stage design was met and enrollment continues to better characterize CR rate and tolerability.

Introduction: Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) represent a heterogeneous group of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas, with suboptimal outcomes with conventional chemotherapy. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (AHCT) is a therapeutic strategy for patients in first remission. However, progression-free survival (PFS) after AHCT is only 36-45% (d'Amore et al JCO 2012, Reimer et al JCO 2009), signifying an unmet therapeutic need for improving outcomes post-transplant. Maintenance therapy after AHCT may improve PFS. Romidepsin is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that is FDA approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory T-cell lymphoma, and is a potential option for maintenance therapy. We present the results of the first multicenter study to evaluate the PFS of patients receiving maintenance therapy after upfront AHCT in PTCL patients. Methods: This was a phase 2, open-label, multicenter, investigator-initiated study in adult patients with PTCL (Table 1). 25 patients transplanted in first complete response or first partial response (CR1 or PR1) (Cohort 1) were evaluable for the primary endpoint of 2-year PFS. We enrolled another cohort (n=8) with high-risk histologies in CR/PR1 (n= 1), or transplanted in CR/PR2 or later (n=7) (Cohort 2). Patients underwent AHCT with carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine and melphalan (BEAM) conditioning. Maintenance romidepsin 14 mg/m2 was initiated between days 42-80 post AHCT, and administered every other week through 6 months, every 3 weeks through 1 year and every 4 weeks from 1 year through 2 years post AHCT. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate PFS. Desired 2-year PFS was 70%. Results: Table 1 lists patient and disease characteristics. In Cohort 1, median follow up was 13.8 months (3.5 - 54.1 mon). Estimated 2-year PFS was 49% (30 - 80, 95% CI) (Figure 1). Median PFS was 20.0 months (12.0- NA, 95% CI). In Cohort 2, median follow up was 23.2 months (range, 9.1 - 35.7 months). Median PFS was 13.9 months (5.6 - NA, 95% CI). Estimated 2-year PFS was 47% (21 - 100, 95% CI). Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) patients represented the largest subgroup within the study. 2-year PFS of these patients in Cohort 1 was 44% (20-96, 95% CI). In Cohort 1, 16 patients are off therapy (9 for disease progression, 2 for toxicity, 2 for patient choice and 3 completed therapy). Across cohorts, 5 patients required dose reduction. 6 patients experienced ≥ grade 3 toxicity (neutropenia=4, anemia=2, thrombocytopenia=2 and lymphopenia=2). 8 serious adverse events (SAEs) occurred in 6 patients after romidepsin treatment (epistaxis, fever, febrile neutropenia, hypotension, fatigue, myalgia, generalized muscle weakness, dyspnea, and CMV retinitis). Grade 2 toxicities included dysgeusia (5), neutropenia (3), anorexia (2), atrial fibrillation (1), hematuria (1), nausea (1), and fatigue (1). Grade 1 toxicities included dysgeusia (7), fatigue (4), nausea (4), anorexia (2), constipation (2), diarrhea (1), neutropenia (1), thrombocytopenia (1), and vomiting (1). Conclusions: Maintenance romidepsin was overall well-tolerated without significant additional grade 3-4 toxicity. At first assessment, the estimated median 2-year PFS in Cohort 1 of 49% does not indicate PFS improvement with romidepsin maintenance. Enrollment is complete and 9 patients in Cohort 1 are still on treatment. Final PFS will be updated.

OffLabel Disclosure: Romidepsin has been FDA approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and has accelerated approval for treatment of relapsed/refractory peripheral T cell lymphoma. We are studying its use as maintenance therapy after autologous stem cell transplant.

Introduction: Signaling through JAK1 and/or JAK2 is common among tumor and non-tumor cells within peripheral and cutaneous T cell lymphomas (PTCL and CTCL). We conducted a phase II study of the JAK1/2 inhibitor, ruxolitinib, in patients (pts) with PTCL and CTCL and assessed the predictive value of genetic, immunohistochemical (IHC) and multiparametric immunofluorescence (mIF) biomarkers of JAK/STAT pathway activation for ruxolitinib response. Methods: This is an investigator-initiated multi-center phase II study for pts with relapsed or refractory (RR) PTCL or CTCL following at least 1 systemic therapy. Biopsies from each patient were subjected to next-generation sequencing for JAK1, JAK2, STAT3, STAT5 and other relevant genes along with IHC assessment for phosphorylated STAT3 (pSTAT3). Pts enrolled into biomarker-defined cohorts: 1) activating JAK and/or STAT mutations (allele frequency of 0.1 or greater); 2) no JAK/STAT mutation but ≥ 30% pSTAT3 expression among tumor cells by IHC; or 3) neither. Pts received treatment with ruxolitinib 20 mg BID until progression and were assessed for response after cycles 2, 5 and every three cycles thereafter. Tissue samples collected at baseline, on-treatment, and at progression were collected and assessed by mIF (Vectra platform, HALO analysis) using markers specific for lymphoma subtype, macrophage activation, JAK/STAT and PI3 kinase signaling. Results: The study completed enrollment with 53 pts, including 18 in cohort 1, 14 in cohort 2, and 21 in cohort 3. Cohort 3 includes 10 pts for whom JAK/STAT characterization is pending. Disease histologies per cohort are detailed in table 1. Treatment-related serious adverse events included HSV-1 stomatitis (n=1), spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (n=1), febrile neutropenia (n=3), and herpes zoster (n=1). Additional grade 3 or 4 drug-related adverse events affecting >1 pt included neutropenia (n=13), anemia (n=8), thrombocytopenia (n=5), and lymphopenia (n=3). Among the 53 pts, 4 have not yet reached first response assessment and 1 withdrew consent following only 1 week of treatment; therefore 48 are evaluable for response. Among 48 pts, there were 3 (6%) complete responses, 8 (17%) partial responses, and 6 (12.5%) with cytopenia improvement and disease stabilization lasting more than 6 months (SD>6 mo). Overall response rate (ORR) was 23% and overall clinical benefit rate (CBR) (ORR plus SD>6 mo) was 35%. Median duration of response was 7.3 months (range 1.3-26.1 months). ORRs in cohorts 1, 2 and 3 were 28%, 31%, and 12% (cohorts 1&2 vs 3, p=0.28). CBRs in cohorts 1, 2 and 3 were 44%, 46%, and 18% (cohorts 1&2 vs. 3, p=0.07) (table 2). More frequent responses were observed in the following histologies: angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma, peripheral T cell lymphoma with T-follicular helper phenotype, T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia, and large granular lymphocyte leukemia (table 3). Nine pre-treatment biopsies were analyzed by mIF from 4 ruxolitinib responders and 5 non-responders. The most notable finding was that responders to ruxolitinib had markedly lower pS6 expression within tumor cells of pre-treatment biopsies (mean pS6 expression 9.03 +/- 4.8 vs 48.19 +/- 6.6 for nonresponders; p=0.0027). In a patient with prolonged CR on ruxolitinib, progression biopsy was characterized by a marked increase in tumor cell pS6 staining. Additional samples are being analyzed and updated results will be reported at the meeting. Conclusion: The JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib is a well-tolerated and readily available therapy for pts with relapsed/refractory PTCL and CTCL. Among patients with IHC and/or genetic evidence of JAK/STAT activation, ruxolitinib has similar efficacy to approved agents for relapsed/refractory T-cell lymphoma. The association between pS6 expression and response to ruxolitinib suggests that active PI3K/mTOR signaling confers intrinsic and acquired resistance to ruxolitinib.

Background/methods: Identifying relapsed or refractory (RR) classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) patients (pts) eligible for lower-intensity second-line therapy (SLT) will aid in improving short-term and long-term treatment-related toxicity. We conducted a phase II study evaluating PET-adapted SLT with single-agent brentuximab vedotin (BV) followed by augICE (augmented ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide) for BV-naïve patients with RR cHL (Lancet Oncology 2015). In this study, patients who failed 1 line of therapy for cHL were treated with 2 or 3 cycles of BV, 1.2mg/Kg, administered weekly, 3 weeks on and 1 week off. Those who achieved PET-normalization proceeded directly to consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Those with persistent abnormalities on PET received 2 cycles of augICE prior to consideration for ASCT. At 3-year follow-up, outcomes for patients who achieved PET-normalization following BV alone or BV followed by augICE were identical. Furthermore, baseline metabolic tumor volume (bMTV) predicted outcome and improved the prognostic significance of pre-ASCT PET (Blood 2017). We now report 6-year follow-up from this study evaluating PET-adapted SLT with BV and augICE. Results: 65 pts enrolled onto this protocol, of whom 18 achieved PET-normalization (Deauville ≤ 2) after single-agent BV. These 18 pts included 8 (44%) with primary refractory disease, 7 (39%) with advanced stage disease, and 8 (44%) with extranodal disease. 17 of the 18 pts proceeded directly to ASCT and 1 pt experienced delay resulting in disease progression. That individual achieved PET-normalization following additional salvage chemotherapy (gemcitabine/vinorelbine/liposomal doxorubicin) and proceeded to ASCT. Of the other 47 pts who remained PET-positive after single-agent BV, 35 achieved PET-normalization after augICE, 9 remained PET-positive after augICE, 2 received no additional treatment before proceeding to ASCT (1 pt with Deauville 3 response to BV, 1 with Deauville 4 response), and 1 pt withdrew consent and was lost to follow-up. 64 of 65 pts proceeded to transplant and median post-ASCT follow-up is 5.98 yrs (range 4.4-7.2 yrs). 6-yr overall survival is 86%, 6-yr progression free survival (PFS) is 73%, and 6-yr time to tumor progression (TTP) is 78%. Overall, there have been 8 deaths, which were due to disease progression (n=5), progressive multifocal leukencephalopathy (PML) (n=1), treatment-related respiratory failure (n=1), and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) (n=1). Pts who proceeded to ASCT following single-agent BV achieved durable remission with 6-year TTP of 80%. Outcomes for the BV-only group were similar to those who required BV and augICE to become PET-negative (6-yr TTP 82%) and were more favorable than for those who remained PET-positive after BV and augICE (6-yr TTP 56%, p=0.058) (Figure 1). With 6-yr follow-up, bMTV > 109.5 cm3remained prognostic for the entire group and aided in predicting which pts ultimately developed disease progression. In particular, among the pts who achieved PET-normalization with BV alone prior to ASCT, 6-yr TTP was 92% vs 40% for low and high bMTV respectively, p=0.017 (Figure 2). Similarly, for pts who achieved PET-normalization following BV and augICE, 6-yr TTP was 85% vs 33% for low and high bMTV respectively, p=0.002. Conclusions: For pts with RR cHL, long-term remission can be achieved following lower-intensity SLT with single-agent BV followed by ASCT, provided PET-normalization is achieved after single-agent BV. bMTV identifies which pts within this favorable group are likely to develop disease progression and therefore treatment strategies using bMTV to direct intensity of therapy should be explored.

Introduction: The JAK/STAT pathway is frequently activated in peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) and cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCLs) however the utility of JAK inhibition as a therapeutic strategy in these diseases is not known. We hypothesize that JAK/STAT pathway alteration (defined by elevated phospho-STAT3 (pSTAT3) expression or presence of JAK or STAT mutations) will predict for sensitivity to JAK inhibition in PTCL and CTCL. We are conducting a phase II study of ruxolitinib, a JAK1/2 inhibitor, in which we assess its efficacy in a cohort of patients (pts) with PTCL and CTCL enriched for JAK/STAT pathway alterations. Methods: This is an investigator-initiated multi-center phase II study evaluating the efficacy of ruxolitinib 20mg twice daily in PTCL and CTCL. Pts with relapsed or refractory (rel/ref) PTCL or CTCL following at least 1 systemic therapy are eligible to enroll onto one of three of the following cohorts: Cohort 1: Disease determined to have JAK or STAT mutations. Cohort 2: Disease with functional evidence of JAK/STAT activation (defined as ≥ 30% pSTAT3 expression by immunohistochemistry). Cohort 3: Disease does not meet criteria for cohort 1 or 2. Pts initially enrolled onto cohort 3 and determined to have JAK/STAT mutations or functional JAK/STAT activation after enrollment are moved to cohorts 1 or 2. Cohorts 1, 2, and 3 are enrolling up to 17, 17 and 18 pts respectively by Simon 2-stage design. Pts receive treatment until progression and are assessed for response to therapy after cycles 2, 5 and every three cycles thereafter. Results: The first stage has been completed for cohorts 1 and 3 and 33 out of planned 52 pts enrolled to date. Details regarding histology, mutations, and treatment course appear in the table and figure. For Cohort 1, 10 out of planned 17 pts enrolled. Mutations involved JAK1 (1), JAK3 (3), STAT3 (4), and STAT5B (4). Out of 8 evaluable pts, overall response rate (ORR) was 38% with 3 partial responses (PR). In addition, 3 pts have ongoing stable disease (SD) lasting 8-18 months. Altogether, 75% achieved clinical benefit (objective response or SD >6 months). For Cohort 2, 5 out of planned 17 pts enrolled. Among the 5 evaluable pts, ORR was 40% with 1 complete response (CR) and 1 PR. For Cohort 3, 18 pts out of planned 18 pts enrolled. Out of 14 evaluable pts, ORR was 21% with 3 PRs. Grade 3 or higher drug-related adverse events (AEs) observed among the 33 pts enrolled included anemia (4), neutropenia (7), thrombocytopenia (2), and lymphopenia (7). Treatment related serious adverse events (SAEs) included 1 episode each of HSV-1 stomatitis, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, febrile neutropenia, and herpes zoster. Conclusion: Responses observed across all three cohorts of pts with PTCL and CTCL with a trend towards higher rates and more durable responses among pts with JAK/STAT alterations. Efficacy of ruxolitinib in PTCL and CTCL provides proof of concept that JAK/STAT activation is a viable target in T-cell lymphomas. Enrollment onto cohorts 1 and 2 and assessment for JAK/STAT alternations among pts in cohort 3 continues. Figure. Figure.

Introduction: Most therapies for relapsed/refractory (rel/ref) T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) induce responses in about 25%-30% of pts. Phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) delta has a role in survival and proliferation of malignant T cells as well as T-cell receptor and cytokine signaling in nonmalignant T cells. Inhibition of PI3K gamma can reprogram macrophages and promote tumor phagocytosis. A phase I study of the PI3K-δ/γ inhibitor duvelisib (D) in pts with rel/ref TCLs showed promising activity, but high rates of grade (Gr) 3/4 ALT elevation at the MTD of 75 mg BID (Horwitz et al, Blood 2018). Based on in vitro evidence of synergy, we initiated a phase I/II study of D combined with either romidepsin (R) or bortezomib (B). Methods: Pts were enrolled into parallel phase I dose escalation arms utilizing a 3+3 design to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of D combined with either R (Arm A) or B (Arm B) in cycle 1. D was dosed at 25 mg, 50mg, or 75 mg BID on days 1-28 with either R (10 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, & 15) or B (1 mg/m2 on days 1, 4, 8, & 11) each on 28-day cycles. Once the MTD was established with each combination, preplanned expansion cohorts were enrolled to further characterize safety and describe subtype-specific efficacy (PTCL and CTCL). Based upon promising safety and efficacy, a total of 39 pts were treated on Arm A (33 at the MTD, D 75 mg BID + R 10 mg/m2). All pts received prophylaxis against Varicella and Pneumocystis. Response assessments were performed q2 cycles for 6 months and then q3 cycles. To assess biomarkers of response and resistance to single-agent D, 10 pts in Arm A (75 mg BID) and 10 pts in Arm B (25 mg BID) were each treated with 1 cycle of D alone, with pretreatment and on-treatment biopsies. Pts who did not achieve CR on D alone at the end of cycle 1 proceeded to combination therapy. Results: The MTD was not reached in Arm A (R+D); thus, dose level 3(DL3); (D 75 mg BID + R 10 mg/m2 days 1, 8, & 15) was deemed the MTD and used for expansion. In Arm B there were no cycle 1 DLTs. However, Gr 3 elevations of ALT or AST following cycle 2 were observed in 3 pts at DL2 (D 50mg BID) and 2 pts at DL3 (D 75mg BID) leading to DL1 (D 25mg BID + B 1mg/m2 days 1, 4, 8, & 11) being accepted as MTD for expansion. Of Arm A pts at the MTD, 21/32 (65%) had adverse events (AEs) ≥Gr 3, possibly related to study drug. Events occurring in ≥10% of pts included: increased ALT/AST (n=5, 15%), neutropenia (n=6, 18%), and hyponatremia (n=4, 12%). Three pts had ≥Gr 3 diarrhea. There were no Gr 5 AEs related to protocol therapy. Strikingly, 4 of 5 pts with elevated transaminases (ALT [4], AST [1]) on combination began on the D-only Lead-In Arm at 75 mg BID. In contrast, only 1 of 22 (4%) pts receiving combination R+D in cycle 1 had Gr 3-4 transaminitis (p=.0242). Of the pts with Gr 3-4 diarrhea, 2 of 3 were on Lead-In (p=.0793). In Arm A, 35/39 pts were evaluable for response. Overall response rate (ORR) across all DLs was 51% (18/35) and CR rate (CR) was 17% (6/35). PTCL, ORR and CR rates were 55% (12/22) and 27% (6/22) respectively. Among CTCL, ORR was 46% (6/13), no CR. Reponses by histology are detailed in Table 1. Of these responders, 3 proceeded to allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo SCT) with curative intent. Of note, 4 pts were not evaluable for response, described in Table 1. Median PFS for Arm A (all DL) was 8.8 m (PTCL) and 5.4 m (CTCL). Median follow up was 5.8 m, and median duration of response was 9.1 m. Of Arm B pts at the MTD, 10/22 (45%) had AEs ≥Gr 3, possibly related to study drug, of these, only neutropenia (n=4, 18%) occurred in ≥10% of pts at the MTD. There was 1 Gr 5 event, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, possibly related to protocol therapy. In Arm B, the ORR across all DLs was 32% (9/28), the CR rate was 11% (3/28). ORR in PTCL was 36% (5/14), 21% (3/14) achieved CR. ORR in CTCL was 28% (4/14), no CR. Responses by histology are detailed in Table 2. Of these responders, 1 proceeded to allo SCT with curative intent. Median PFS for Arm B (all DL) was 3.5 m (PTCL) and 4.6 m (CTCL). Median follow up was 7.2 m, and median duration of response was 9.3 m. Conclusion: Duvelisib in combination with romidepsin is highly active in pts with PTCL with tolerable side effects. Duvelisib can be safely combined with romidepsin at a 3-fold higher dose than with bortezomib (75 mg BID vs 25 mg BID) with much lower rate of Gr 3-4 transaminitis than single-agent duvelisib at the same dose. The high response rates and safety of Arm A (Duvelisib + Romidepsin) in PTCL appears to be a potential therapeutic advance and warrants further evaluation in a larger study.

Introduction: Current therapies for relapsed/refractory (rel/ref) T-cell lymphomas (TCLs) induce responses in only 25-30% of patients (pts). Phosphoinositide-3-kinases (PI3K) play a pivotal role in cell signaling and PI3K isoforms have distinct roles in the development, function and survival of T cells. A phase I study of the oral PI3K-δ/γ inhibitor duvelisib (DUV) in pts with TCLs showed promising activity in rel/ref TCL (Horwitz, Blood 2014). We assessed mechanisms of response and resistance to DUV in T-cell lymphomas in vitro and in vivo. Based on in vitro evidence of synergy, we initiated a phase I study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DUV combined with romidepsin or bortezomib in pts with rel/ref TCL. Methods: Preclinical: We characterized the PI3K-signaling pathway across 11 cell lines of TCL by immunoblotting and assessed the in vitro activity of isotype specific PI3K inhibitors, including DUV. A targeted phosphoproteomic approach (P100) was utilized to identify mechanisms of resistance and response of DUV across 6 cell lines in vitro. We assessed the effects of DUV on immune response within the TCL microenvironment in vivo using a patient-derived xenograft (PDX). Clinical: We conducted multicenter, parallel phase I trials of DUV in combination with romidepsin (arm A) or bortezomib (arm B) in rel/ref TCL. For each arm, a standard 3+3 phase I design was used to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD). DUV was dosed at 25mg, 50mg, or 75mg BID on days 1-28. Romidepsin 10mg/m2 was dosed on days 1, 8, and 15 (arm A) or bortezomib 1mg/m2 on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 (arm B), both on 28-day cycles. All pts received prophylaxis against Varicella and Pneumocystis. Results: Preclinical: DUV potently killed 3 of 4 TCL cell lines that showed constitutive phosphorylation of AKT (pAKT) versus 0 of 7 lines lacking pAKT (p=0.024). Killing by DUV exceeded killing by the PI3K-δ-specific inhibitor idelalisib and was similar to pan-PI3K inhibition. The phosphoproteomic analysis identified resistance through either PI3Kα activation, which was overcome by pan-PI3K inhibition, or by epigenetic reprogramming, which was overcome by co-treatment with romidepsin. Administration of DUV to mice engrafted with a TCL PDX resulted in reprogramming of tumor-infiltrating macrophages from the immunosuppressive M2-like phenotype to the pro-phagocytic M1-like phenotype. Clinical: 12 pts (4 in each dose level [DL]) were treated on arm A (romidepsin+DUV); 8 are evaluable for efficacy. There were no dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), therefore DL 3 was accepted as MTD. 2 serious adverse events (SAEs) possibly related to study drug included grade (Gr) 3 fatigue and Gr 2 aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation. 1 fatal event (diffuse alveolar hemorrhage following allogeneic transplant) occurred 31 days after last dose of study drug and was assessed as unrelated to study treatment. Gr 3 or 4 adverse events (AEs) occurring in ≥10% of pts included only neutropenia (Gr 3, n=4, Gr 4, n=2). Overall response rate (ORR) and median time to response (TTR) were 4/8 (50%) and 51 (range 49-54) days. Two of 4 responders proceeded to transplant after 90 and 108 days and 1 remains on treatment for 107+ days. 17 pts were treated on arm B (bortezomib+DUV), including 8 in DL 1, 3 in DL 2, and 6 in DL 3; 15 pts are evaluable for efficacy. 1 out of 6 pts evaluable for DLT on DL 1 experienced DLT (pneumonia). There were no other DLTs, however Gr 3 elevations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or AST following cycle 2 were observed for 3 pts treated at DL 2 and 2 treated at DL 3 leading to DL 1 being accepted as MTD. There were 5 SAEs possibly related to study drug including Gr 3 pneumonia (n=2), Gr 3 infectious colitis (n=1), Gr 3 colitis (n=1), and Gr 4 AST/ALT elevation (1). Gr 3 or 4 AEs occurring in ≥10% of pts included only neutropenia (Gr 3, n=3). ORR, complete response (CR), and median time to response (TTR), were 8/15 (53%), 3/15 (20%), and 52 (range 47-57) days. Among the 8 responders, 5 remain on treatment for 103-377+ days. Conclusion: DUV shows activity in T-cell lymphomas with pre-clinical evidence of both tumor cell-autonomous and non-autonomous effects. The combinations of DUV plus romidepsin and DUV plus bortezomib are safe and well tolerated, with limited incidence of AST/ALT elevation from romidepsin+DUV. Promising response rates of at least 50% were observed across TCL histologies with both regimens. Expansion cohorts of pts with peripheral and cutaneous TCL are currently enrolling.

Thermodynamic properties of ZrC are calculated up to the melting point (${T}^{\mathrm{melt}}\ensuremath{\approx}3700\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\text{K}$), using density functional theory (DFT) to obtain the fully anharmonic vibrational contribution, and including electronic excitations. A significant improvement is found in comparison to results calculated within the quasiharmonic approximation. The calculated thermal expansion is in better agreement with experiment and the heat capacity reproduces rather closely a CALPHAD estimate. The calculations are presented as an application of a development of the upsampled thermodynamic integration using Langevin dynamics (UP-TILD) approach. This development, referred to here as two-stage upsampled thermodynamic integration using Langevin dynamics (TU-TILD), is the inclusion of tailored interatomic potentials to characterize an intermediate reference state of anharmonic vibrations on a two-stage path of thermodynamic integration between the original DFT quasiharmonic free energy and the fully anharmonic DFT free energy. This approach greatly accelerates the convergence of the calculation, giving a factor of improvement in efficiency of $\ensuremath{\sim}50$ in the present case compared to the original UP-TILD approach, and it can be applied to a wide range of materials.
