Y-90 Ibritumomab Tiuxetan as Consolidation Following Three Cycles of Fludarabine-Cyclophosphamide-Rituximab Chemoimmunotherapy in Patients with Relap…

2007

Abstract BACKGROUND: Tumed sequential treatment with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide/rituximab (FC-R) followed by Y-90 ibritumomab tiuxetan (IT) radioimmunotherapy may improve progression-free survival in patients (pts) with CD20+ NHL. However, even unpretreated pts submitted to four to six cycles of a fludarabine-containing combination and then IT at an Y-90 activity of 15 MBq/kg will experience severe prolonged, transfusion-dependent and only partially reversible pancytopenia, thus limiting its use in a non-curative setting (Jurczak et al., ASH 2005). AIM: We report on a trial including anthracycline-pretreated pts with relapsing CD20+ lymphoma > age 50 and unsuitable for myeloablative tr…

Preliminary Phase II Study Results of BBR2778 in Combination with Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, and Prednisone in Patients with Relapsed Aggressive …

2004

Abstract Background: Pixantrone (BBR 2778) is a novel aza-anthracenedione with superior activity compared to doxorubicin and mitoxantrone in various tumor models including hematological malignancies. Pixantrone single agent therapy led to major responses in patients (pts) with aggressive lymphoma including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLCL). The safety of a CHOP-like regimen with pixantrone replacing doxorubicin (CPOP) was assessed in a dose-ranging study indicating a recommended dose of 150 mg/m² for pixantrone. Method: In this phase II study the primary objective was to assess the efficacy of the CPOP regimen (cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m² d1, pixantrone 150mg/m² d1, vincristine 1.4mg/m² d…

Effect of Prognostic Risk Classification on Temsirolimus Efficacy and Safety Outcomes in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma

2011

Abstract Abstract 2708 Background: The simplified Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (MIPI) has been shown to be a good predictor of patient survival (Blood 2008;111:558–65; Blood 2010;115:1530–1533). This post hoc study analyzed data from a randomized, phase III clinical trial investigating temsirolimus (TEM) in relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) in which TEM 175/75 (175 mg for first 3 weeks then 75 mg weekly) demonstrated significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) vs investigator's choice of therapy (INV; 4.8 vs 1.9 months, respectively; hazard ratio [HR]=0.44; P=.0009; J Clin Oncol 2009;27:3822–9). Patients receiving TEM 175/25 (175 mg for first 3 w…

Results of a Phase II Study of Pixantrone in Combination with Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, and Prednisone in Patients with Relapsed Aggressive Non-…

Abstract Background: Pixantrone is a novel aza-anthracenedione with less cardiotoxicity and superior activity compared to doxorubicin and mitoxantrone in murine leukemia and lymphoma tumor models. Pixantrone as single agent therapy led to major responses in patients (pts) with multiply relapsed aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLCL). In a phase I dose-ranging study of pixantrone (80 to 180 mg/m2) replacing doxorubicin (CPOP) in a CHOP-like regimen, the optimal dose (RD) from that study was found to be 150 mg/m2. Methods: In this international, multi-center, phase II study the primary objective was to assess the efficacy and safety of the CPOP…

Loss of a novel tumor suppressor gene locus at chromosome 8p is associated with leukemic mantle cell lymphoma

2001

Abstract Patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) may present with either nodal or leukemic disease. The molecular determinants underlying this different biologic behavior are not known. This study compared the pattern of genetic abnormalities in patients with nodal and leukemic phases of MCL using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for specific gene loci. Although both leukemic and nodal MCL showed similar genomic patterns of losses (involving 6q, 11q22-q23, 13q14, and 17p13) and gains (affecting 3q and 8q), genomic loss of chromosome 8p occurred more frequently in patients with leukemic disease (79% versus 11%,P < .001). Subsequent…

CHOP Improves Response Rates but Not Overall Survival in Follicular and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)- Results of a Randomized Trial of the German Low G…

2004

Abstract In advanced stage follicular lymphoma conventional chemotherapy is non-curative and no major improvement in overall survival has been achieved by different regimens. Similarly, MCL, a lymphoma subtype with an especially poor clinical outcome, cannot be cured by conventional chemotherapy. In 1996, the German Low Grade Lymphoma Study Group (GLSG) started a randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy of two different anthracycline/anthrachinon containing regimens comparing CHOP (cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2 day 1, vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 day 2, adriamycine 50 mg/m2 day 1, prednisone 100 mg/m2 days 1–5) and MCP (mitoxantrone 8 mg/m2 days 1–2, chlorambucil 3x3 mg/m2 days 1–5; prednisone 25 mg…

Evaluation of Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Temsirolimus in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma (Rel/Refr Mcl) in Routin…

2014

ABSTRACT Aim: Temsirolimus (TEMS), an mTOR-inhibitor, is approved in the EU for the treatment of patients (pts) with relapsed or refractory (rel/refr) MCL. A pivotal study demonstrated significantly longer progression free survival with TEMS (175 mg weekly for 3 weeks followed by 75 mg weekly) in rel/refr MCL pts compared to investigatoŕs choice therapy (4.8 mo vs 1.9 mo; P = .0009). To evaluate safety and efficacy of TEMS in an unselected patient population during clinical routine, a prospective non-interventional study with TEMS in rel/refr MCL pts is useful. Here we report on interim results of the study. Methods: A German multicenter registry for rel/refr MCL pts treated with TEMS was s…

Comparison of 2 Doses of Intravenous (IV) Temsirolimus (Temsr) in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)

2016

Abstract Introduction: Temsr (Torisel®) administered at 175 mg IV once weekly for first 3 weeks, followed by 75mg IV once weekly (Temsr 175/75 mg) is approved in the European Union for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and/or refractory MCL based on an overall positive benefit-risk relationship demonstrated for this treatment regimen in the pivotal phase III study (Hess et al. J Clin Oncol. 2009;27:3822-9). This ongoing phase 4, multicenter, randomized, open-label study was conducted to explore whether similar efficacy can be achieved for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory MCL with a Temsr regimen that is expected to yield fewer side effects than the Temsr 175/75…

ABSTRACT Background Temsirolimus (TEMS), an mTOR-inhibitor, is approved the EU for the treatment of patients (pts) with relapsed or refractory MCL (rel/refr). A pivotal study demonstrated significantly longer progression free survival with TEMS (175mg weekly for 3 weeks followed by 75mg weekly) in rel/refr MCL pts compared to investigatoŕs choice therapy (4.8 mo vs 1.9 mo; P = .0009). To better identify safety and efficacy of TEMS in an unselected patient population during clinical routine a prospective non-interventional study with TEMS in rel/refr MCL-pts was started. Here we report on interim results of the study. Methods A registry for rel/refr MCL pts treated with TEMS was started in G…
