Acalabrutinib in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) marginal zone lymphoma (MZL): Results of a phase 2, multicenter, open-label trial.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
7549 Background: MZL is a rare indolent B-cell malignancy considered incurable at recurrent stage. Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors have produced durable responses in patients (pts) with R/R MZL. Acalabrutinib (acala) is a potent next-generation BTK inhibitor with high selectivity for BTK. We report data for acala monotherapy from the R/R MZL cohort (phase 2) of a phase 1b/2 clinical trial (NCT02180711). Methods: Pts with histologically confirmed MZL, ECOG performance status ≤2, and ≥1 prior therapy (including ≥1 CD20-directed regimen) received oral acala 100 mg twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity ± R. The primary objective was overall response rate (ORR; Lugano criteria as assessed by the investigator). Secondary objectives were duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Data were analyzed descriptively (no formal hypothesis testing). Results: Forty-two pts received acala (median age 69 y [range 42–84]; median 2 prior systemic regimens [range 1–4]). MZL subtypes were extranodal (43%), nodal (31%), and splenic (26%). At data cutoff (Oct 15, 2021), median follow-up duration was 10.7 mo (range 0.4–42.8). Sixteen (38%) pts discontinued acala, most commonly due to disease progression (26%). Among pts evaluable for response (n = 37; 3 pts had not reached the first assessment timepoint and 2 pts exited the study without response assessment), ORR was 54% (95% CI 37%–71%) with 6 complete (16%) and 14 partial (38%) responses; 17 (46%) pts had stable disease. ORRs in extranodal, nodal, and splenic subtypes were 65%, 44%, and 45%, respectively. Median time to initial response was 3.0 mo; median DOR was 19.3 mo (95% CI 8.4–not estimable). Median PFS was 27.4 mo with a 12-mo PFS rate of 66%. Four pts died (disease progression, n = 2; transformation to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma after stopping treatment, n = 1; adverse event [AE], n = 1 [septic shock unrelated to treatment]); median OS was not reached. Treatment was well tolerated with most AEs being grade 1 or 2. Sixteen pts (38%) had grade ≥3 AEs, most commonly (in ≥2 pts) anemia, dyspnea, neutrophil count decrease (n = 3 each), fatigue, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia (n = 2 each). AEs led to treatment discontinuation in 2 pts (grade 3 hypotension and grade 1 myalgia). Among AEs of clinical interest, hypertension was reported in 2 pts (both grade 2); no cases of atrial fibrillation/flutter or major hemorrhage were reported. Conclusions: These early results indicate that acala is efficacious and well tolerated in pts with R/R MZL. The AE profile is consistent with the known safety profile of acala. Clinical trial information: NCT02180711.

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.
