50 | FIXED‐DURATION OUTPATIENT SUBCUTANEOUS MOSUNETUZUMAB + POLATUZUMAB VEDOTIN SHOWS ROBUST EFFICACY IN A PHASE II STUDY OF RELAPSED/REFRACTORY POST‐BTKi MANTLE CELL LYMPHOMA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: Patients (pts) with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who progress after Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) therapy have suboptimal outcomes, driving the development of new treatments (Eyre et al. Blood 2022). Mosunetuzumab (M), an off-the-shelf, outpatient treatment, plus polatuzumab vedotin (Pola) showed promising efficacy and manageable safety in an initial analysis in relapsed/refractory (R/R) MCL (NCT03671018; Wang et al. ASH 2023). We present primary data from the Phase II MCL cohort. Methods: Pts with R/R MCL and ≥ 2 prior therapies received subcutaneous M with step-up dosing on Days (D)1 (5 mg), 8 (45 mg) and 15 (45 mg) of Cycle (C)1, then 45 mg on D1 of each subsequent cycle every 3 weeks for 17 cycles. Intravenous Pola (1.8 mg/kg) was given on D1 of C1–6. Corticosteroid premedication was required for C1 (optional for C2+). Hospitalization to monitor for cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was not mandatory. Response was assessed by an independent review committee (IRC) using Lugano criteria. Results: As of November 8, 2024, 42 pts received M-Pola. Median age was 68 (range 44–82) years, 91% had Ann Arbor stage III/IV, and 48% had a simplified MIPI score of ≥ 6. Pts had high-risk factors including: Ki-67 proliferation index ≥ 50%, 67%; blastoid/pleomorphic variants, 38%; and TP53 mutation, 31%. Median prior lines of therapy was 3 (range 2–9). All pts received prior BTKi; 26% received prior chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy and 93% were refractory to last therapy. Median time on study was 16 (range 0–41) months. IRC-assessed best overall response and complete response (CR) rates were 88% (95% CI 74–96) and 79% (95% CI 63–90), respectively. Median time to first response was 3 months. Median duration of response and of CR were both not reached. Median PFS and OS were 19 months (95% CI 14–not evaluable [NE]) and 21 months (95% CI 17–NE), respectively; efficacy was consistent across high-risk subgroups (Figure). Overall, 100%, 81% and 62% of pts reported ≥ 1 adverse event (AE), Grade (Gr) ≥ 3 AE and serious AE, respectively. The most common (≥ 30%) treatment-related AEs were injection site reaction (57%), fatigue (50%), CRS (43%) and neutrophil count decreased (33%). CRS occurred in 18 pts (43%; Gr 1, n = 12; Gr 2, n = 6; no Gr ≥ 3; all resolved). There were five Gr 5 AEs (pneumonia [n = 1], encephalopathy due to West Nile Virus [n = 1], and COVID-19 pneumonia [n = 3]). Gr 2 immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome occurred in one patient (2%; resolved). Five pts (12%) had treatment-related AEs leading to any treatment discontinuation (Gr 2: upper respiratory tract infection [n = 1], peripheral neuropathy [n = 2]; Gr 3: uveitis, pneumonitis/C.diff colitis [n = 1 each]). Conclusions: Fixed-duration, outpatient M-Pola demonstrates robust efficacy and manageable safety in R/R MCL, including in high-risk subgroups and the post-CAR T-cell setting. M-Pola appears to be a suitable regimen for pts with R/R MCL in need of rapid disease control. Research funding declaration: This study was sponsored by F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd.

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.
