7029 Background: Mosun, a CD20xCD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody, is approved for relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma after ≥2 prior lines of therapy. We report an interim analysis and PROs with Mosun SC in elderly/unfit patients with previously untreated DLBCL. Methods: MorningSun (NCT05207670) is a Phase 2, basket study of Mosun SC in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In the DLBCL cohort, eligible patients (aged ≥80 years, or 65–79 years and ineligible for chemoimmunotherapy) received outpatient Mosun SC: Day (D) 1 (5 mg), D8 (45 mg) and D15 (45 mg) of Cycle (C) 1, then 45 mg on D1 for up to 17 21-day cycles. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 24 months. Other endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), complete response (CR) rate, change from baseline (CfB) in lymphoma symptoms as assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lymphoma subscale (FACT-Lym LYMS; higher scores indicate improvement, a ≥3-point increase is considered clinically meaningful) and safety. Results: Forty-nine patients were enrolled, primarily from community sites (n=34). Median age was 83 years (range: 71–101). International Prognostic Index was 3–5 in 53.1% patients and 18.4% of patients had bulky disease. As of February 10, 2025, the median duration of follow-up was 12.5 months (range: 1.4–30.8). PFS and OS rates at 12 months were 71.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 54.8–82.7) and 74.7% (95% CI: 58.5–85.4), respectively. ORR was 73.5% and CR rate was 59.2%. Completion rates for FACT-Lym LYMS were ≥95% at baseline and remained ≥87% at each subsequent timepoint. Patients reported improvement in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) over time, demonstrated by increased mean CfB (standard deviation [SD]) in FACT-Lym LYMS scores: C4D1, 5.1 (9.8); C9D1, 5.6 (11.8); C17D1, 9.8 (11.4). Clinically meaningful improvements in lymphoma symptoms were observed in 53.1% (95% CI: 38.3–67.5) of patients. The most common any-grade adverse event (AE) was injection site reaction (53.1%; all Grade [Gr] 1/2). Gr 3/4 AEs were reported in 65.3% of patients and 8.2% experienced a Gr 5 AE (no Gr 5 AEs were Mosun related, per investigator assessment). Serious AEs occurred in 42.9% of patients. Infection AEs occurred in 49.0% of patients (Gr 1: 4.1%; Gr 2: 28.6%; Gr 3: 16.3%) and resolved in 91.7%. Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 12.2% of patients (Gr 1: 10.2%; Gr 2: 2.0%; all resolved). Updated data with around one additional year of follow-up will be presented. Conclusions: Mosun SC showed promising efficacy with manageable safety in elderly/unfit patients with previously untreated DLBCL in an outpatient setting. Clinically meaningful improvements in lymphoma symptoms suggest that Mosun SC improves aspects of HRQoL in this population. Clinical trial information: NCT05207670 .

Abstract Complete response (CR) is an important treatment goal in follicular lymphoma (FL). In relapsed or refractory (R/R) FL, CR rates decline, and disease progression accelerates with each treatment line, with particularly poor outcomes in patients with high‐risk features. Odronextamab, a CD20 × CD3 bispecific antibody, demonstrated deep, durable responses and generally manageable safety in R/R FL in the Phase 2 ELM‐2 study (NCT03888105); we present an exploratory analysis in patients who attained a CR. Patients received intravenous odronextamab with step‐up dosing in Cycle 1, 80 mg weekly in Cycles 2–4, then 160 mg once every 2 weeks until disease progression or other protocol‐defined reason for discontinuation. Patients with CR lasting ≥9 months switched to dosing once every 4 weeks. Overall, 73.4% (94/128) of patients attained CR, 93.6% (88/94) by first response assessment (~Week 12). Median time to CR was 2.7 months (range 2.3–7.9). Median duration of CR was 25.1 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 20.5–not evaluable [NE]) overall and 23.7 months (18.2–NE) in patients with high‐risk features. Overall, 79.5% (35/44) of patients who switched to Q4W dosing maintained CR at last assessment. Patients with low/undetectable CD20 expression by immunohistochemistry (<10% CD20 + cells) or RNA sequencing (messenger RNA < 500 transcripts per million) could achieve CR. Median progression‐free survival was 27.8 months (95% CI 23.0–NE) in patients with CR and not reached in those with undetectable circulating tumor DNA at Week 12. Treatment‐emergent adverse events (TEAEs) led to treatment discontinuation in 16.0% of patients with CR; the most common TEAE was cytokine release syndrome (56.4%). This generally manageable safety profile and the sustainability of CRs support odronextamab as a potential long‐term treatment for heavily pretreated R/R FL.

Summary Family history of haematological malignancy (FHHM) reflects inherited susceptibility to non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), but its prognostic significance remains poorly understood. We used a cohort study of 1994 NHL patients to evaluate associations between FHHM and clinical outcomes across lymphoma subtypes. We estimated associations, adjusted for sex and lymphoma‐specific prognostic index, of self‐reported FHHM in a first‐degree relative with overall survival (OS), event‐free survival (EFS) and lymphoma‐specific survival (LSS) using multivariable Cox regression models and with failure to achieve EFS at 24 months (EFS24) using logistic regression. FHHM prevalence was 12.8%, and the median follow‐up among survivors was 12.0 years. FHHM was not associated with OS. In subtype‐specific analyses, FHHM was associated with inferior LSS (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.98, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11–3.53) in follicular lymphoma (FL); this association and the association with EFS24 failure strengthened among those treated with front‐line immunochemotherapy (EFS24 failure odds ratio = 2.57, 95% CI 1.08–5.99; LSS HR = 2.68, 95% CI 1.09–6.58). In mantle cell lymphoma, FHHM was associated with inferior EFS (HR = 1.70, 95% CI 1.02–2.85). Interaction testing did not demonstrate significant heterogeneity of FHHM effects by lymphoma subtype. FHHM may be associated with adverse outcomes in select NHL groups, particularly FL. These findings warrant further investigation of germline and environmental factors potentially contributing to more aggressive FLs.
