7513 Background: While Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) can induce sustained remissions, ongoing response requires continuous treatment and thus long-term safety/tolerability is critical for adherence, maintaining dose intensity, and delivering maximum efficacy. Pirtobrutinib is a highly selective, non-covalent (reversible) BTKi approved by the FDA in January 2023 for R/R mantle cell lymphoma after 2 prior lines of therapy including a BTKi. Pirtobrutinib has demonstrated promising efficacy with low discontinuation and dose reduction rates in patients (pts) with multiple subtypes of R/R B-cell malignancies. However, the long-term safety and tolerability of pirtobrutinib has not yet been reported. Here we report the clinical safety in pts with long-term (≥12 months) pirtobrutinib treatment from the phase 1/2 BRUIN trial. Methods: Pts with R/R B-cell malignancies who received ≥12 months of pirtobrutinib were included. Median time to onset, dose reduction, discontinuation, and cumulative incidence rates were determined for treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) that occurred in ≥20% of pts and select AE of interest associated with BTKi. Results: As of 29 July 2022, 773 pts were enrolled, and 326 (42%) pts received treatment for ≥12 months. Among these 326 pts, median time on treatment was 19 months (IQR: 16,25), with 231 (71%) remaining on pirtobrutinib. The most common TEAE (all grade, regardless of attribution) in this long-term 326 pt cohort were fatigue (32%), diarrhea (31%), Covid-19 (29%), contusion (26%), cough (25%), and back pain (21%). TEAE leading to dose reduction or discontinuation occurred in 23 (7%) and 11 (3%) pts, respectively. Four (1%) pts discontinued due to a treatment-related AE, and 1 pt had a fatal treatment-related AE (Covid-19 pneumonia). Select AE of interest for the long-term pts are shown in the Table. Comprehensive safety analyses describing the frequency of TEAE over time will be presented. Conclusions: Prolonged pirtobrutinib therapy continues to demonstrate a safety profile amenable to long-term administration at the recommended dose without evidence of new or worsening toxicity signals. The safety and tolerability observed in pts on therapy for ≥12 months was similar to previously published safety analyses on all pts enrolled regardless of follow-up.

7514 Background: Pirtobrutinib is a highly selective, non-covalent (reversible) BTKi. Here, we report updated results of pirtobrutinib in patients (pts) with cBTKi pre-treated relapsed/refractory (R/R) MCL and more than 3 years follow-up from start of enrollment. Methods: Pts with cBTKi pre-treated R/R MCL received pirtobrutinib monotherapy in a multicenter phase 1/2 BRUIN trial (NCT03740529). Efficacy was assessed in the prespecified primary efficacy cohort that comprised the first 90 enrolled pts who had measurable disease, had received a prior cBTKi, and had no known central nervous system involvement. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) as assessed by independent review committee. Secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR) and safety. A data cut of 29 July 2022 was utilized. Results: Among MCL pts who received a prior cBTKi (n=90), median age was 70 years (range, 46-87), median prior lines of therapy were 3 (range, 1-8), 82% discontinued a prior cBTKi due to disease progression, and 78% had intermediate/high risk sMIPI score. Of samples available, 17/36 (47%) had TP53 mutations and 25/34 (74%) had Ki67 ≥30%. The ORR was 57% (95% CI, 46-67), including 19% complete responses (n=17) and 38% partial responses (n=34). At a median follow-up time of 13 months, the median DOR among the 51 responding pts was 17.6 months (95% CI, 7.3-27.2). The 12- and 18-month estimated DOR rates were 58% (95% CI, 41-72) and 45% (95% CI, 27-61), respectively. ORR and DOR by subgroups are shown in the Table. The median progression-free survival was 7.4 months (95% CI, 5.3–13.3). The median overall survival was 23.5 months (95% CI, 15.9-NE). In the MCL safety cohort (n=166), the most frequent treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) were fatigue (31%), diarrhea (22%), and anemia (17%). The most common Grade ≥3 TEAE was neutropenia (15%). Grade ≥3 TEAE of hemorrhage (3%) and atrial fibrillation/flutter (2%) were infrequent. Only 5 (3%) pts discontinued due to a treatment-related AE. Conclusions: Pirtobrutinib continues to show durable efficacy and a favorable safety profile in heavily pre-treated R/R MCL pts with prior cBTKi therapy. Responses were observed in pts with high-risk disease features including pts with blastoid/pleomorphic variants, elevated Ki67 index, and TP53 mutations. Clinical trial information: NCT03740529 .

PURPOSE Pirtobrutinib is a highly selective, noncovalent (reversible) Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi). We report the safety and efficacy of pirtobrutinib in patients with covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (cBTKi) pretreated mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL), a population with poor prognosis. METHODS Patients with cBTKi pretreated relapsed/refractory (R/R) MCL received pirtobrutinib monotherapy in a multicenter phase I/II trial (BRUIN; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03740529 ). Efficacy was assessed in the first 90 consecutively enrolled patients who met criteria for inclusion in the primary efficacy cohort. The primary end point was overall response rate (ORR). Secondary end points included duration of response (DOR) and safety. RESULTS The median patient age was 70 years (range, 46-87), the median prior lines of therapy was 3 (range, 1-8), 82.2% had discontinued a prior cBTKi because of disease progression, and 77.8% had intermediate- or high-risk simplified MCL International Prognostic Index score. The ORR was 57.8% (95% CI, 46.9 to 68.1), including 20.0% complete responses (n = 18). At a median follow-up of 12 months, the median DOR was 21.6 months (95% CI, 7.5 to not reached). The 6- and 12-month estimated DOR rates were 73.6% and 57.1%, respectively. In the MCL safety cohort (n = 164), the most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were fatigue (29.9%), diarrhea (21.3%), and dyspnea (16.5%). Grade ≥3 TEAEs of hemorrhage (3.7%) and atrial fibrillation/flutter (1.2%) were less common. Only 3% of patients discontinued pirtobrutinib because of a treatment-related adverse event. CONCLUSION Pirtobrutinib is a first-in-class novel noncovalent (reversible) BTKi and the first BTKi of any kind to demonstrate durable efficacy after prior cBTKi therapy in heavily pretreated R/R MCL. Pirtobrutinib was well tolerated with low rates of treatment discontinuation because of toxicity.

Abstract Introduction: Plamotamab (XmAb13676) is a humanized bispecific antibody that binds both CD20 and CD3 to recruit cytotoxic T cells to kill CD20 expressing malignant cells. Interim results of an ongoing first-in-human (FIH), dose-escalation study (XmAb13676-01; NCT02924402) in subjects with relapsed/refractory (R/R) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) are reported. Methods: The study is an FIH, multi-center, open-label, phase 1, dose-escalation study in subjects with R/R NHL with a standard 3 + 3 design. The primary objectives are to determine safety, tolerability, and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended dose of plamotamab. Secondary objectives include preliminary anti-tumor activity and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of plamotamab. This study has 3 Parts: Part A, escalating dose cohorts that establish an initial priming dose as part of repeated weekly infusions at a fixed, weight-based dose in a 28-day cycle; Part B, with a dosing schedule consisting of a priming dose on Cycle 1 Day 1, established in Part A, followed by step-up dosing (SUD) on subsequent weeks; and Part C is an SUD regimen with flat and less frequent dosing. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) prophylaxis with dexamethasone, antihistamine, and acetaminophen was mandated prior to each administration of plamotamab. Treatment was continued for 2 cycles or longer if there was evidence of therapeutic benefit. Results: At data cut-off (01Jul2021), 80 subjects with NHL have been treated. Subjects had a median age of 62 years (range 32-89), a median of 4 prior therapies (range 1-10), and had been diagnosed a median of 28 months (range 6-353) prior to treatment in the study. The most common treatment-related adverse event was CRS. Overall, 50 subjects (62.5%) experienced CRS, with 4 (5.0%) experiencing Grade ≥ 3 CRS. No related neurotoxicity >Grade 2 has been observed. Treatment responses for NHL were assessed by the Lugano criteria or International Working Group criteria for Waldenström Macroglobulinemia. There have been 23 objective responses (43.4% overall response rate [ORR]) and 13 (38.2%) at doses of ≥ 80 µg/kg or flat dosing in all evaluable subjects with NHL and diffuse large cell B-cell lymphoma, respectively. In the efficacy-evaluable, follicular lymphoma population, at doses of 80-360 µg/kg or flat dosing, objective responses were observed in 8/10 (80%) subjects. After implementation of flat dosing, as opposed to weight-based dosing, a 50% ORR (4/8 evaluable subjects) has been observed in NHL subjects in that cohort. An MTD has not been reached, and dose escalation is ongoing. Overall, 4 out of 16 (25%) evaluable subjects with prior CAR-T therapy responded to plamotamab. Conclusions: Plamotamab demonstrated evidence of clinical activity in heavily pretreated subjects with R/R NHL. CRS was generally manageable with premedication. The study is ongoing with further optimization of dose and schedule. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Abstract Background: Mcl-1 is an anti-apoptotic protein in the Bcl-2 family that contributes to the pathophysiology of certain B-cell malignancies and AML. Dependence on Mcl-1 is associated with poor prognosis, and increased Mcl-1 levels is a common mechanism of resistance to venetoclax. Voruciclib (VORU), a potent oral CDK9 inhibitor (Ki <10 nM), was shown to decrease Mcl-1 protein expression in preclinical models, supporting its evaluation as a single agent and in combination with venetoclax in AML and B-cell malignancies. In two dose escalation phase 1 studies of VORU in patients (pts) with solid tumors, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was established at 350 mg when administered daily continuously and 600 mg when administered on days 1 to 14 in a 21-day cycle. Based on concentrations needed for antitumoral activity in preclinical models, pharmacokinetic (PK) results predict a dose of ~200 mg could be sufficient for target inhibition. The present phase 1 study is the first to evaluate the MTD, recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), dose-limiting toxicities (DLT), safety, PK, and preliminary efficacy of VORU in pts with relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies (NCT03547115). Methods: Pts with relapsed B-cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), or AML were eligible if age ≥18 years, ECOG performance status ≤1, disease progression after failure of standard therapies, adequate hepatic and renal function, and no prior CDK9 therapy. Dose escalation started at 50 mg, followed a 3+3 design, and DLTs were assessed in Cycle 1. Initially VORU was administered once daily continuously in a 28-day cycle (Group I). After 2 DLTs were observed at 100 mg, administration was changed to once daily on days 1 to 14 in a 28-day cycle (Group II), patients with prior allogeneic transplant were excluded, and dose escalation (100, 150, 200 mg) proceeded in separate cohorts for AML and B-cell malignancies. Disease response was assessed by the Lugano, iwCLL, and 2017 ELN criteria. Results: To date 28 pts have been enrolled: 14 AML, 7 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 3 follicular lymphoma (FL), 2 CLL and 2 mantle cell lymphoma. Group I enrolled 16 pts, 8 each at 50 mg and 100 mg. Group II enrolled 12 pts, 10 with AML administered VORU at 100, 150 or 200 mg and 2 pts with B-cell malignancies administered VORU at 100 mg. Dose escalation in AML is completed. Median age was 71 years (range 40-90) and 54% of pts were male. Pts were generally heavily pretreated, with a median of 3 prior therapies (range 1-8). Median number of VORU cycles administered was 2 (range 1-4). Drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported in Group I only and consisted of 2 DLT of Gr 3 pneumonitis at 100 mg, both in AML pts treated with allogeneic transplant followed by GVHD in the preceding 12 months, one of whom also had a concurrent Gr 3 differentiation syndrome (DS), and 1 SAE not meeting DLT criteria, a Gr 3 hypoxemic respiratory failure in Cycle 4 in a pt with DLBCL at 50 mg. One AML pt developed ischemic bowel thought to be due to disease progression. Symptoms consistent with DS were observed in 4 AML pts. In Group II, no DLTs have been observed to date and there were no Gr 3-5 drug-related adverse events reported. There is no evidence of significant drug-related neutropenia in pts with B-cell malignancies. To date, in Groups I and II combined, 1 AML pt achieved a morphologic leukemia-free state, 2 AML pts achieved stable disease (SD), and 3 pts with B-cell malignancies had a best response of SD, including 1 FL pt who achieved a 42% reduction in SPD, and 1 CLL pt with relapsed disease after chemoimmunotherapy, venetoclax, and ibrutinib who had stable blood counts. Conclusions: VORU at doses up to 200 mg administered on 14 consecutive days in a 28-day cycle was well tolerated with no DLTs observed. Consistent with the phase 1 studies in solid tumors, no significant myelosuppression was seen in pts with B-cell malignancies. The safety profile does not indicate overlapping toxicities with venetoclax. Disease stabilization was observed in heavily pretreated pts and differentiation syndrome was observed in AML indicating biologic activity. Enrollment at 200 mg will continue in an expansion cohort in AML. A forthcoming protocol amendment will evaluate VORU in combination with venetoclax in pts with relapsed AML to exploit the dual inhibition of Bcl-2 and Mcl-1.

7541 Background: FT516 is an investigational, NK cell cancer immunotherapy derived from a clonal master iPSC line. FT516 is engineered with a novel hnCD16 Fc receptor, demonstrated preclinically to maximize antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (Zhu et al. Blood 2020). FT516 can be mass produced and made available off-the-shelf for broad pt access and multi-dose administration. Methods: This is a Phase I trial of FT516 combined with rituximab (R) in pts with R/R BCL. Treatment consists of 2 cycles, each with 3 days lympho-conditioning (fludarabine 30 mg/m 2 and cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m 2 ) and 1 dose of R followed by 3 weekly infusions of FT516 (planned doses 30-900 million/dose) with IL-2 (6 MIU after each FT516 dose). The primary objective is to identify the incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)/dose cohort and the recommended Phase II dose using a standard 3+3 design. Additional objectives include safety, tolerability, preliminary activity, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity. Results: Six pts (5 DLBCL, 1 FL, median age 65.5 y) have completed (5) or discontinued (1) study treatment after the DLT period (data cutoff 9 Dec 2020): 2 received 30 million cells/dose, 3 received 90 million cells/dose, and 1 received 300 million cells/dose. All pts received > 1 prior R-containing regimen, and median number of prior therapies was 3 (range 2-6), including CAR-T in 3 pts. FT516 was primarily administered in the outpatient setting. No FT516-related Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) or serious AEs, and no events of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), or graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) of any grade were reported. DLT (Grade 4 neutrophil count decreased, not recovered to baseline by D29) was reported in the first pt at 30 million cells/dose and R dosing of 375 mg/m 2 weekly x 4/cycle, resulting in modification of R dosing to once/cycle; no DLTs were observed with modified R dosing. Most common all grade AEs in ≥3 pts: fatigue (4 pts) and decreased appetite, nausea, neutrophil count decreased, and headache (3 pts each). Grade ≥3 AEs in ≥2 pts: neutrophil count decreased (3 pts) and febrile neutropenia and platelet count decreased (2 pts each); none considered related to FT516. Host anti-product B- or T-cell immunogenicity was not observed. Three of 4 pts treated at ≥90 million cells/dose achieved objective response (2 complete responses [CRs] and 1 partial response). Conclusions: Administration of up to 6 doses of FT516 cells, including up to 300 million cells/dose, appears to be safe and tolerable, without CRS, ICANS, or GvHD. Activity was observed, including CRs, in heavily pretreated pts. Dose escalation is ongoing. Updated clinical and translational data will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT04023071.
