Glofitamab step-up dosing (SUD): Complete response rates in updated efficacy data in heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory (R/R) non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients (pts).

Abstract

7519 Background: Glofitamab (RG6026), a T-cell-engaging, bispecific, full-length antibody, allows bivalent binding to CD20 (B-cells), and monovalent binding to CD3 (T-cells). In NP30179 (NCT03075696), an ongoing multicenter, Phase I dose-escalation and expansion study, 0.6–25mg glofitamab fixed-dosing with obinutuzumab pretreatment (Gpt), showed high, durable complete responses and manageable safety in heavily pretreated R/R NHL (Dickinson, et al. EHA 2020). Glofitamab SUD, in addition to Gpt, allowed dose escalation up to 30mg to maximize efficacy, while mitigating cytokine release syndrome (CRS) (Hutchings, et al. JCO 2021). We present updated efficacy data from glofitamab monotherapy SUD cohorts. Methods: Gpt (1000mg) was given to pts 7 days pre-glofitamab initial dose. Intravenous SUD of glofitamab was given on Day (D) 1 and 8 of Cycle (C) 1 and then at the target dose from C2D1 (2.5/10/16mg or 2.5/10/30mg); treatment continued for up to 12 cycles, every 21 days. Response rates were based on the Lugano criteria (Cheson, et al. JCO 2014). Results: Fifty-two pts received glofitamab SUD; 17 and 35 pts received 2.5/10/16mg and 2.5/10/30mg, respectively. Twenty-eight pts (53.8%) had aggressive NHL (aNHL) and 24 pts had indolent NHL (iNHL). Pts had a median age of 68 (44–85) years and received a median of 3 (1–12) prior lines of therapy. Forty (76.9%) and 38 (73.1%) pts were refractory to their most recent and any prior CD20 therapy, respectively. After a median follow-up of 6.3 months, an updated efficacy analysis was conducted on December 1, 2020. For pts with aNHL (N = 28), the best overall response (OR) and complete metabolic response (CMR) rates were 64.3% and 57.1%, respectively; a trend of improved response was observed with increased target dose, with a CMR rate of 71.4% at 2.5/10/30mg (N = 14). Notably, 4/5 pts (80%) with mantle cell lymphoma (2.5/10/16mg, n = 2; 2.5/10/30mg, n = 2) had CMR. For aNHL, 13/16 CMRs are ongoing, with 8 CMRs lasting > 3 months. For pts with iNHL (N = 24), OR and CMR rates were 79.2% and 70.8%, respectively; 14/17 CMRs are ongoing, with 10 CMRs lasting > 3 months. As of August 3, 2020, common adverse events (52 pts) were CRS (63.5%), neutropenia (38.5%), and pyrexia (32.7%). CRS was mostly confined to C1: 24/50 pts had CRS after 2.5mg; 20/49 pts after 10mg; 2/16 and 8/32 pts had CRS after 16 and 30mg (C2D1), respectively. Grade [Gr] 1 and 2 CRS was reported in 18 (34.6%) and 12 (23%) pts, respectively; 3 pts had Gr 3 CRS; none had Gr 4/5 events (ASTCT 2019). Updated data, including biomarker data on baseline CD20 expression and CD8 levels in the tumor, will be presented. Conclusions: Updated data for glofitamab monotherapy SUD show higher preliminary response rates than previously reported in pts with R/R NHL who have failed multiple lines of therapy. CRS was mostly manageable, of low grade, and confined to the first cycle of treatment. Clinical trial information: NCT03075696.
