• Btk inhibitors
• PI3K inhibitors
• Other agents – Exportin, Bcl2, and aurora kinase inhibitors
Outline
Bruton’s Tyrosine Kinase (BTK): Critical kinase for
lymphoma cell survival and proliferation
• BTK is an essential element of the B cell
antigen receptor (BCR) signaling pathway.
• Inhibitors of BTK block BCR signaling and
induce apoptosis
• Ibrutinib is a highly potent oral BTK inhibitor
• Ibrutinib binds to cysteine-481 in BTK
Ibrutinib Monotherapy in Rel/Ref FL: Preliminary
Results of a Phase 2 Consortium (P2C) Trial
Bartlett et al, ASH, 2014
• Treatment: Continuous dosing at 560 mg po daily on 28-day cycles
until progression or toxicity
• Primary endpoint: ORR (CR+PR)
• Results: Single agent ibrutinib had modest antitumor activity in
relapsed or refractory FL with an ORR of 28%
– Suggestion that rituximab sensitive patients may derive more
benefit (42% vs 6%)
• Ibrutinib may need to be used in combination with other agents for
optimal benefit in FL
Ibrutinib + Rituximab in relapsed Mantle Cell
Lymphoma: Preliminary Results from a Phase II Trial
Wang et al, ASH, 2014
Background
• Single-agent oral ibrutinib in relapsed mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)
ORR 68%; CR 21%; DOR 17.5 months; PFS 13.9 months (Wang et al, NEJM, 2013)
Preclinical Data
• In patient-derived xenograft
(PDX) model, ibrutinib +
rituximab was superior to
either agent alone

Pneumonia 1
Gastric hemorrhage 1
Ublituximab (UTX) – a novel chimeric CD20 mAb glycoengineered to
enhance affinity to FcγRIIIa receptors, thereby demonstrating greater
ADCC than rituximab – 43% ORR in R/R NHL and CLL
TGR-1202 – a next generation once daily, oral PI3Kδ inhibitor which
notably lacks the hepatotoxicity associated with other PI3Kδ inhibitors
Treatment
• UTX on days 1, 8, 15 of cycles 1 and 2 and then maintenance
• TGR-1202 started with 800 mg orally once daily and then escalated
Key Eligibility
• Relapsed/refractory CLL or NHL
• Patients failing prior PI3K and Btk inhibitors are eligible

Safety Efficacy
All PRs
• Exportin 1 (XPO1/Crm1) is
the major nuclear export
protein with >200 protein
and a few RNA cargos
• XPO1 is overexpressed in
many hematological (DLBCL
and MCL) and solid tumors
and correlates with poor
prognosis or resistance to
chemotherapy
• Selinexor is a novel, oral,
small molecule selective
inhibitor of XPO1
o Reduces expression of the proto-oncogene proteins c-myc, Bcl-2, Bcl-6, Mdm2, BTK,
Cyclin D and survivin
o Blocks NF-κB activation, which is required for ABC DLBCL cell survival
o Reactivates p53, for which mutation is associated with poor prognosis
Targeting exportin 1 using selinexor in NHL
Selinexor Phase 1 Study Design
Objectives (modified 3+3 design)
– Primary: Safety, tolerability and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of
KPT-330;
– Secondary: Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), anti-tumor
response; confirmation of RP2D of selinexor
Selinexor oral dosing
– 10 doses/cycle (2-3 doses/week) or 8 doses/cycle (twice weekly) or 4
doses/cycle (once weekly)
– Doses 3 mg/m2 – 80 mg/m2
– Dose expansion for DLBCL
Major eligibility criteria:
– Patients (ECOG ≤1) with relapsed/refractory hematologic tumors with no
available standard treatments
– No active CNS disease
– Documented progression at study entry
– ANC >1000/µL, Platelets >30,000/µL

    • Exportin 1(XPO1/Crm1) is the major nuclear export protein with >200 protein and a few RNA cargos • XPO1 is overexpressed in many hematological (DLBCL and MCL) and solid tumors and correlates with poor prognosis or resistance to chemotherapy • Selinexor is a novel, oral, small molecule selective inhibitor of XPO1 o Reduces expression of the proto-oncogene proteins c-myc, Bcl-2, Bcl-6, Mdm2, BTK, Cyclin D and survivin o Blocks NF-κB activation, which is required for ABC DLBCL cell survival o Reactivates p53, for which mutation is associated with poor prognosis Targeting exportin 1 using selinexor in NHL
