Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and T-cell-dependent bispecific antibodies (TDBs) show single-agent efficacy in relapsed/refractory (R/R) lymphomas. While coadministering therapeutics with orthogonal mechanisms of action may safely enhance efficacy, testing every potential combination regimen is infeasible in the clinic. An integrated quantitative systems pharmacology model of a CD19-targeted ADC and CD3/CD20-targeted TDBs was developed to predict combination regimen efficacy in R/R diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Clinically validated models of the ADC loncastuximab tesirine and TDB mosunetuzumab were combined and extended to additional TDBs (glofitamab and epcoritamab). Virtual DLBCL populations were calibrated using monotherapy response data, and tumor volume dynamics simulated under alternate combination dosing regimens and patient scenarios. Additive antitumor effects were predicted from the fourth cycle onward, with combination efficacy insensitive to loncastuximab tesirine dose reductions or patient lymphopenias. Results of the LOTIS-7 study (NCT04970901) will soon be available to assess these predictions.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the world. Treatment options for relapsed DLBCL in the third line and beyond include chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, T-cell-engaging bispecific antibodies, and loncastuximab tesirine (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl [Lonca]), each with unique toxicity profiles. There is still an unmet need for guidance on managing Lonca-associated adverse events (AEs), particularly for oncologists who have limited experience with this antibody-drug conjugate.

Relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and other non-Hodgkin lymphomas represent significant clinical challenges, particularly in patients who have exhausted standard immunochemotherapy and cellular therapies. Bispecific antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates have emerged as promising treatments, offering targeted and more effective treatment options compared to current standards. Bispecific antibodies, including epcoritamab and glofitamab, third-line therapies for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, are recombinant immunoglobulins engineered to recognize two distinct antigens or epitopes simultaneously.

Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the role of body composition as an independent image-derived biomarker for clinical outcome prediction in a clinical trial cohort of patients with relapsed or refractory (rel/ref) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with loncastuximab tesirine.
Materials And Methods: The imaging cohort consisted of positron emission tomography/computed tomography scans of 140 patients with rel/ref DLBCL treated with loncastuximab tesirine in the LOTIS-2 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03589469) trial.
