Safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab in patients with relapsed/refractory primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Treatment options for relapsed/refractory primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (rrPMBCL) are limited, and prognosis is generally poor (overall response rate [ORR] 0% to 25%; 2-year overall survival 15%). PMBCL frequently involves PD-1 ligand overexpression, potentially making PMBCL particularly susceptible to PD-1 blockade. We evaluated safety and antitumor activity of pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody, in rrPMBCL as part of the KEYNOTE-013 multicohort phase 1b trial. At time of data cutoff, 18 patients (median age 30 years; median 3 prior lines of therapy) had been enrolled and treated, of whom 17 were included in the efficacy analyses. Eleven patients (61%) experienced drug-related adverse events (mostly grade 1-2); none discontinued treatment due to adverse events. ORR was 41% (7/17); 6 additional patients (35%) had stable disease. Of patients evaluable by imaging, 13 out of 16 (81%) had decreases in target lesions. With a median follow-up of 11.3 months, median duration of response was not reached. Two patients reached the maximum 2-year treatment duration and remain in remission. Median overall survival was not reached for treated patients overall; all responders were still alive at data cutoff. These results in heavily pretreated rrPMBCL patients demonstrate that PD-1 blockade with pembrolizumab has a manageable safety profile and promising antitumor activity. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01953692.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
