Efficacy and Safety of Ibrutinib Combined with Standard First-Line Treatment or As Substitute for AutologousStem Cell Transplantation in Younger Patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma: Results from the Randomized Triangle Trial By the European MCL Network  

Abstract #1: Martin Dreyling presented efficacy and safety results of the P3 TRIANGLE trial in 870 younger patients with previously untreated, advanced stage II-IV mantle cell lymphoma(MCL).

The TRIANGLE trial assessed:

  • Standard treatment (R-CHOP/R-DHAP + ASCT) (Arm A);
  • vs addition of ibrutinib to Arm A regimen (Arm A+I);
  • vs standard treatment with ibrutinib but without ASCT (Arm I);
  • followed by 2 years ibrutinib maintenance in arms A+I and I

Results:

  • Overall response (OR) rates: 94% (arm A) vs 98% (combined arms A+I/I)
  • Complete remission (CR) rates: 36% (arm A) vs 45% (combined arms A+I/I)
  • 3-year failure-free survival (FFS): 86% (arm I) vs 88% (arm A+I) vs 72% (arm A)
  • 3-year OS: 92% (arm I) vs 91% (arm A+I) vs 86% (arm A)
  • Rituximab maintenance did not substantively change results
  • No substantial differences in grade 3-5 AEs when adding ibrutinib to standard treatment or between the two ASCT-containing arms
  • Substantially more grade 3-5 AEs in A+I arm as compared to arms A or I during maintenance
  •  

ASH22

Thought leader reactions were positive, with several interpreting the results to mean that they could forego ASCT during induction with ibrutinib without compromising on OS and FFS, and thus considering it as new standard first-line therapy for younger patients with MCL.

The favourable AE profile and lack of treatment related mortality (TRM) with ibrutinib induction without ASCT was also of interest.

A few oncologists were concerned about the cost of ibrutinib maintenance in lower and middle income countries (LMIC)

Pallawi
Dr Luis

Summary: Thought leaders are excited enough by these results that many consider induction with ibrutinib without ASCT to be a new first-line treatment younger patients with previously untreated, advanced stage II-IV MCL. More study will need to be done to confirm the role of ASCT in this population, and in localities where ibrutinib might be costly to use.

79% had reduction in disease. ORR 31%. Many responses deepen over time.

Median DOR not yet reached. Median OS 13.9 mo. 12 mo OS was 54%. As typical with immunotherapy, we see a nice tail on the curve. #TIL#SITC22

Important work on efficacy of TIL therapy lifileucel in PD-1 resistant #melanoma being presented at #SITC22. Pretty good durability for this heavy lift of a treatment.

Toxicity profile was in line with prior TIL/Lifileucel data. No surprises here. Median # doses of IL-2 was 6.

Absolutely agree!… this should be available to our melanoma patients ASAP!… and paves the way for smarter cellular therapies to be designed, studied, and eventually widely disseminated

Where does this leave us with #TIL therapy for #melanoma? IMO, this response rate/durability justifies accelerated approval. Pts with PD-1 refractory melanoma need options. It’s FAR from a perfect tx but provides meaningful clinical benefit. What say you melanoma Twitterverse?
