Safety and efficacy of Temsirolimus in combination with Bendamustine and Rituximab in relapsed mantle cell and follicular lymphoma
2015
In this phase I/II study, we explored the combination of Temsirolimus with Bendamustine and Rituximab (BeRT) in patients with r/r follicular lymphoma (FL) or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Patients with 1-3 prior therapies received Bendamustine (90 mg/m(2), day 1+2) and Rituximab (375 mg/m(2), day 1) with Temsirolimus in doses from 25 to 75 mg added on day 1, 8, 15 of a 28-day cycle. Fifteen (11 MCL, 4 FL) patients were included in the phase I. Median age was 73 years and median pretreatment number was 2. No formal dose-limiting toxicity was observed. Dominant non-hematological side effects were fatigue in 11 (73%), nausea in 9 (60%), mucositis in 7 (47%) and vomiting in 6 patients (40%). Coug…

Abstract Background: mTOR inhibition has been shown to be effective in various subtypes of malignant lymphomas (Smith et al, JCO 2010). Furthermore, in relapsed MCL a phase III trial demonstrated superiority of Temsirolimus to chemotherapy. Although novel treatment options as Ibrutinib have changed the treatment landscape for MCL, no curative potential could be shown for this approach and novel concepts continue to be needed. Several trials provided promising results when Temsirolimus is combined with agents like Rituximab (Ansell et al, Lancet Oncology 2011) or chemoimmunotherapy, as shown in part I (phase I) of the reported trial (Hess, Leukemia, 2015). We now report the final analysis of…
The mTOR Inhibitor Temsirolimus Added to Rituximab Combined With Dexamethasone, Cytarabine, and Cisplatinum (R-DHAP) for the Treatment of Patients Wi…

There is a high need for novel treatment options in relapsed and refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Single agent mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor treatment has shown promising efficacy in this entity. Here, we report on the results of the mTOR-inhibitor temsirolimus combined to standard rituximab-DHAP salvage regimen in a prospective, multicenter, phase II, open-label study. The STORM regimen consisted of rituximab 375 mg/m(2) (day 2) and DHAP (dexamethasone 40 mg day 3-6, cisplatinum 100 mg/m(2) day 3, cytarabine 2 × 2 g/m(2) day 4) with temsirolimus added on day 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle, with 2 to 4 cycles planned. In part I, dose levels of 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg fo…

Abstract Purpose. To evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of the combination of the mTOR inhibitor Temsirolimus and a standard salvage regimen (R-DHAP) in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large cell B-Cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods. This is a prospective, multicenter, phase II, open-label study. Patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL with a maximum of two prior treatment lines were eligible. The STORM regimen consisted of Rituximab 375 mg/m² (day 2) and DHAP (Dexamethasone 40mg day 3-6, Cisplatine 100 mg/m² day 3, Cytarabine 2x2 g/m² day 4) with Temsirolimus added on day 1 and 8 of a 21 d cycle, with 2-4 cycles planned. In part I, dose levels of 25, 50, 75 and 100 …

Abstract. In this phase I/II study, we explored the combination of Temsirolimus with Bendamustine and Rituximab (BeRT) in patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) follicular lymphoma (FL) or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Patients with 1 to 3 previous therapies received Bendamustine (90 mg/m2, day 1 + 2) and Rituximab (375 mg/m2, day 1) with Temsirolimus in doses from 25 to 75 mg in phase I and 50 mg Temsirolimus in phase II, added on day 1, 8, 15 of a 28 days cycle. The primary endpoint of the phase II was ORR at the end of treatment. Overall, 39 (29 MCL, 10 FL) patients were included. Median age was 71 years and median pretreatment number was 2. Grade 3/4 non-hematologic adverse events wer…
Elimination of Established Risk-Factors in Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma - Impact of High-Dose Chemotherapy Followed by Autologous Stem-Cel…
2011
Abstract Abstract 3089 Introduction: High-dose chemotherapy (HDT) and autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) demonstrated high efficacy in the treatment of newly-diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) in eligible patients (pts). Prognosis of PCNSL is associated with several clinical and histopathological risk factors (RF). Early complete response (CR) during chemotherapy (CHT) was recently reported to be an additional independent prognostic factor in pts undergoing polychemotherapy without HDT+ASCT. In this analysis, we examined the extent to which known RF determined survival in pts who were treated with HDT-ASCT. We additionally investigated the impact of HDT-ASCT specific factors (e…
Prognosis of patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma after high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation
2013
High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation has been shown to be feasible and highly effective in newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma. In this retrospective multicenter study, we investigated prognosis and baseline risk factors in patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma who underwent this treatment approach. We retrospectively analyzed 105 immunocompetent patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma who underwent high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation with or without whole brain radiotherapy as first-line consolidation treated at 12 German centers between 1997 and 2011. We estimated survi…
