Novel Drugs for Aggressive NHLs?
Agent Comment
ABT-199 Platelets-sparing BCL-2 inhibitor
BET Bromodomain Inhibitors Down regulators of MYC transcription
CAR-T cells T cell killing of CD-19 positive NHLs
Aurora kinase inhibitors Kinase needed for survival of MYC
mTOR inhibitors mTOR pathway important in MYC drive
Ixasomib (proteasome inhibitor) Inhibits MYC at n-molar concentrations
PI3K inibhitors Loss of PTEN leads to PI3K activation
and increased MYC
SIRT4 protein Inhibits glutamine metabolism in MYC
driven tumors
Inhibitors of mitochondrial
peptide deformylase
In tumor models, cause apoptosis in
MYC driven tumors by depolarizing
mitochondrial membnrane

Wilson et al. ASH, 2012.
Phase I CUDC-907, a Dual PI3K/HDAC
Inhibitor for Ref/Rel NHL and Myeloma
• 51 patients enrolled, 41 evaluable for response
• Dose: 3X3 escalation, with both frequency and dose given,
30-120 mg and 2 x wk, 3 x wk, 5 x wk
• DLT in 3 = Diarrhea, hyperglycemia
• 4/41 objective responses ( 1 CR, 3 PR, all in DLBCLs)

PD-1 is Inactivated by PD-L1 and PD-
L2 on Tumor Cells
• PD-1 is a protein on T-Cells that dampens the normal immune
response
• Tumor cells can evade normal T-cell attack
• Inactivate T-cell function by activation of PD-1 via PD-L1 and PD-
L2 present on lymphoma cells
• T-Cells are “exhausted”
• Cannot attack tumor cells
• Inactivation is reversible

R-CHOP from same center

• Conclude: Lenalidomide may erase the differences seen
with R-CHOP by improving the results for non-GCB subtypes.

MYC Rearrangement (MYC-R) in
DLBCL: DHL or DEL?
• In general, R positivity infers an inferior
prognosis
– R-CHOP therapy is inadequate, with < 12 mo OS
• High MYC protein expression without MYC-R has
also been identified (alternate mechanism)
– DLBCL with high MYC (>40%) and BCL-2 (50-70%)
protein expression by IHC = Double Expressor DLBCL
(DEL)
– Also has a poor prognosis with R-CHOP
• Should the approach to therapy be the same for
both DHLs and DELs?
– Majority of DHL = GCB DLBCL
– Majority of DEL = ABC DLBCL

Editor's Notes

  • #6 DLBCL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; EFS, event-free survival; OS, overall survival; R-CHOP, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone; RT, radiotherapy Ian W. Flinn, MD, PhD: There was no significant difference in event-free survival (HR: 0.55; P = .13) or OS (HR: 0.6; P = .33) between the 2 treatment strategies. The 5-year event-free survival was 88% and the 5-year OS was 92%.
  • #16 CI, confidence interval; CR, complete response; DLBCL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; FL, follicular lymphoma; MCL, mantle cell lymphoma; NHL, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma; ORR, overall response; PD, progressive disease; PR, partial response; SD, stable disease.
  • #44 DA-EPOCH-R, dose adjusted-etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and rituximab; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression free survival. Ian W. Flinn, MD, PhD: The PFS and OS curves illustrate excellent outcomes in patients with MYC rearrangement, although it is difficult to know the true value of this approach without a randomized trial.
  • #55 CR, complete response; FL, follicular lymphoma; PD, progressive disease; PR, partial response; SD, stable disease; SPD, sum of the products of the greatest perpendicular diameters.
  • #71 CR, complete response; CRu, unconfirmed complete response; FL, follicular lymphoma; ITT, intent to treat; PP, per protocol; PR, partial response; R, rituximab
