Article Abstract

Introduction: Patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) have an unmet medical need. The objective of this trial was to assess the efficacy and toxicities of a novel triple immunotherapy regimen-pembrolizumab, low-dose cyclophosphamide, and maveropepimut-S (MVP-S). This regimen was designed to activate tumor-specific T cells by targeting the tumor-associated antigen survivin with MVP-S and reducing two important T cell inhibitory pathways: T cell exhaustion and regulatory T cells with pembrolizumab and metronomic cyclophosphamide, respectively.

Methods: This was a single-arm Phase II clinical trial in 25 participants with R/R DLBCL-SPiReL trial (NCT03349450).

Results: The median overall survival was 10.1 months and a third of participants survived over 2 years. Enhanced long-term survival was associated with favorable clinical characteristics and enhanced immune reactivity, as assessed by ELISpot and ISR-immune reactive responses. The regimen was well-tolerated with minimal Grade 3-4 toxicities.

Conclusion: Combination immunotherapy regimens such as this could offer a promising alternative to other treatments with significant toxicities for select patients.

HIV-associated lymphoma (HAL) is an aggressive malignancy directly linked to HIV infection and accounts for more than 30% of cancer-related deaths in people living with HIV (PLWH). HAL subtypes, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Burkitt lymphoma (BL), primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), and plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL), exhibit five to ten times higher incidence rates and distinct molecular profiles compared to HIV-negative lympho-mas. Pathogenesis involves HIV-driven CD4+ T-cell depletion, chronic B-cell activation, and on-cogenic viral coinfection.

Introduction: Up to 50% of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) relapse or are refractory to first-line therapy. Tisagenlecleucel, a CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, is approved for patients with relapsed/refractory (r/r) DLBCL in the third-line setting. Patients with r/r DLBCL treated with tisagenlecleucel in the real world have shown similar outcomes to those in clinical trials.

Background: In the absence of a head-to-head trial of off-the-shelf subcutaneous epcoritamab, a novel CD3xCD20 bispecific antibody, versus chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR T), a matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) of epcoritamab versus axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) efficacy was conducted in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with ≥ 2 prior lines of systemic therapy.

Methods: The MAIC used epcoritamab patient-level data from EPCORE NHL-1 (NCT03625037; April 2023 data cutoff) and axi-cel aggregated data from ZUMA-1 (NCT02348216). Patients without prior CAR T were matched to the ZUMA-1 population; weighted regression models were used to estimate absolute differences in overall response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) rate, and weighted Cox proportional-hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Odronextamab, a CD20×CD3 bispecific antibody, demonstrated robust efficacy and durable responses, with a generally manageable safety profile, in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the Phase 2 ELM-2 study. This exploratory analysis evaluated the prognostic value of minimal residual disease (MRD) status and tumor molecular profiles, based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis, for determining patient outcomes in ELM-2. Baseline and on-treatment ctDNA samples were used for MRD evaluation (AVENIO Oncology Assay Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Test); baseline ctDNA samples were also used for molecular profiling.

Glofitamab, a CD20×CD3 T-cell-engaging bispecific monoclonal antibody, has emerged as a promising therapeutic agent for relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The advent of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy and T-cell-engaging bispecific antibodies has also stimulated growing interest in their potential application in autoimmune diseases. Here, we report a case of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in a patient with a long-standing history of antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS).
