Lenalidomide oral monotherapy produces a high response rate in patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma with a poor prognosis following first relapse. We present a subgroup analysis of an open-label phase II trial investigating the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide in patients with relapsed or refractory MCL. Oral lenalidomide 25 mg was self-administered once daily on days 1-21 every 28 d for up to 52 weeks, according to tolerability or until disease progression. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) and secondary endpoints were duration of response, progression-free survival (PFS) and safety. Among 15 patients with MCL with a median disease duration of 5.1 years and a median of four prior treatments, the ORR was 53%. Three patients (20%) had a complete response and 5 (33%) had a partial response. The median duration of response was 13.7 months and median PFS was 5.6 months. Four of five patients who relapsed after transplantation and two of five patients who previously received bortezomib responded to lenalidomide. The most common grade 4 adverse event was thrombocytopenia (13%) and the most common grade 3 adverse events were neutropenia (40%), leucopenia (27%) and thrombocytopenia (20%). In conclusion, oral lenalidomide monotherapy is well tolerated and active in relapsed or refractory MCL

Lenalidomide Response in Relapsed/Refractory Aggressive Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Is Related to Tumor Burden and Time from Rituximab Treatment
Abstract
Background: Lenalidomide (Revlimid®) has been reported to show activity in non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL). However, prognostic factors predicting an individual patient’s response were unavailable.
Aim: To investigate prognostic factors for lenalidomide response in patients with relapsed/refractory aggressive NHL.
Methods: Patients with relapsed/refractory aggressive NHL with measurable disease ≥2 cm after at least 1 prior treatment regimen were eligible. Patients received 25 mg lenalidomide orally once daily on Days 1-21 every 28 days and continued therapy for 52 weeks as tolerated or until disease progression. Response and progression were evaluated using the IWLRC methodology. Univariate analyses using Fisher’s exact test and multivariate analyses using logistic regression were conducted to investigate associations of prognostic variables with response.
Results: Forty-nine patients received lenalidomide oral monotherapy. The median age was 65 (23-86) and 24 were female. Histology was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n=26), follicular center lymphoma grade 3 (n=5), mantle cell lymphoma (n=15) and transformed (n=3). Median time from diagnosis was 2.7 (0.4-32) years and median number of prior treatment regimens was 4 (1-8). Forty-five (92%) of the patients had received prior rituximab and 63% were rituximab-refractory. Seventeen patients (35%) exhibited an objective response (2 complete responses, 4 complete responses unconfirmed and 11 partial responses). Response to lenalidomide was the same for patients who were refractory to rituximab (30%) and those who were not (31%). Three of 4 patients who were rituximab naive responded. Multivariate analysis including IPI, ECOG PS, stage, LDH, # of extranodal sites, age, sex, # of prior regimens and time from diagnosis identified only time since last rituximab and tumor burden as correlated with response. Response to lenalidomide was associated with low tumor burden (52% for 0.6 × 109/L v 9% for ≤0.6 × 109/L, P=0.071).
Conclusion: Tumor burden and host immune competence may determine the response of relapsed/refractory aggressive NHL to lenalidomide monotherapy

Lenalidomide Monotherapy in Relapsed or Refractory Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
PurposeThe major cause of death in aggressive lymphoma is relapse or nonresponse to initial therapy. Lenalidomide has activity in a variety of hematologic malignancies, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). We report the results of a phase II, single-arm, multicenter trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of lenalidomide oral monotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive NHL.Patients and MethodsPatients were treated with oral lenalidomide 25 mg once daily on days 1 to 21, every 28 days, for 52 weeks, until disease progression or intolerance. The primary end point was response; secondary end points included duration of response, progression-free survival (PFS), and safety.ResultsForty-nine patients with a median age of 65 years received lenalidomide in this study. The most common histology was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (53%), and patients had received a median of four prior treatment regimens for NHL. An objective response rate of 35% was observed in 49 treated patients, including a 12% rate of complete response/unconfirmed complete response. Responses were observed in each aggressive histologic subtype tested (diffuse large B-cell, follicular center grade 3, mantle cell, and transformed lymphomas). Of patients with stable disease or partial response at first assessment, 25% improved with continued treatment. Estimated median duration of response was 6.2 months, and median PFS was 4.0 months. The most common grade 4 adverse events were neutropenia (8.2%) and thrombocytopenia (8.2%); the most common grade 3 adverse events were neutropenia (24.5%), leukopenia (14.3%), and thrombocytopenia (12.2%).ConclusionOral lenalidomide monotherapy is active in relapsed or refractory aggressive NHL, with manageable side effects

Efficacy and safety of rucaparib in previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma from a phase 2, open-label trial (ATLAS)
Background: ATLAS evaluated the efficacy and safety of the PARP inhibitor rucaparib in patients with previously treated locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC). Methods: Patients with UC were enrolled independent of tumor homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status and received rucaparib 600 mg BID. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed objective response rate (RECIST v1.1) in the intent-to-treat and HRD-positive (loss of genome-wide heterozygosity ≥10%) populations. Key secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and safety. Disease control rate (DCR) was defined post-hoc as the proportion of patients with a confirmed complete or partial response (PR), or stable disease lasting ≥16 weeks. Results: Of 97 enrolled patients, 20 (20.6%) were HRD-positive, 30 (30.9%) HRD-negative, and 47 (48.5%) HRD-indeterminate. Among 95 evaluable patients, there were no confirmed responses. However, reductions in the sum of target lesions were observed, including 6 (6.3%) patients with unconfirmed PR. DCR was 11.6%; median PFS was 1.8 months (95% CI, 1.6-1.9). No relationship was observed between HRD status and efficacy endpoints. Median treatment duration was 1.8 months (range, 0.1-10.1). Most frequent any-grade treatment-emergent adverse events were asthenia/fatigue (57.7%), nausea (42.3%), and anemia (36.1%). Of 64 patients with data from tumor tissue samples, 10 (15.6%) had a deleterious alteration in a DNA damage repair pathway gene, including four with a deleterious BRCA1 or BRCA2 alteration. Conclusions: Rucaparib did not show significant activity in unselected patients with advanced UC regardless of HRD status. The safety profile was consistent with that observed in patients with ovarian or prostate cancer. Trial registration: This trial was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03397394).
