Abstract Introduction: The real-world outcomes in patients (pts) with PCALCL in the era of targeted therapies like Brentuximab Vedotin (BV) is not well defined due to lack of large multicenter studies. We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis (RWA) to assess patient and disease characteristics, treatment patterns, survival outcomes and impact of novel therapies in this rare type of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL). Methods: The analysis included 167 adult (≥18 years) patients (pts) with PCALCL across 9 academic institutions in the United States diagnosed between 01/2012 to 06/2022. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Boards at the respective sites. Demographic and disease factors were summarized using descriptive statistics. Overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and compared via log rank tests. Prognostic models included factors such as age, sex, race, performance status (PS), disease stage, type of initial lesion, presence of B symptoms, previous history of lymphomatoid papulosis and prior transplant. Prognostic factors for survival were assessed using both univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models. Results: The median age at diagnosis was 61 (range 18-93) years. The majority of pts were male (55%) and white (82%), with good PS as indicated by an ECOG 0-1 (71%). The initial skin presentation consisted of tumors in 62% of the pts, while 34% presented with plaques or patches. Notably, no pts presented with erythroderma. Most pts underwent PET scan for staging at initial diagnosis (83%) with the majority having early-stage (IA-IIA) disease (86%). Furthermore, palpable lymph nodes (11%) and the presence of B symptoms (4%) were rare at diagnosis, and no pts had blood involvement. The most common sites of involvement were extremities (33%) followed by the head and neck (H&N) and trunk (31% each). Immunophenotyping revealed CD4 positivity in 59% of pts and CD8 positivity in 25%. The T cell receptor (TCR) rearrangement was positive in 28% of pts, though it was not completed in the majority of cases (72%). Most common initial treatments included localized radiation (61%) and surgical excision (19%). A small subset of pts received frontline systemic chemotherapy regimens such as cytotoxic chemotherapy (11%), BV (8%) and oral methotrexate (MTX) (8%). Approximately 7% of the pts had a stem cell transplant. Overall response rate (ORR) for radiation, oral MTX, BV and cytotoxic chemotherapy were 78% (CR:78% 74/100), 42% (CR:63% 6/12) and 39% (CR:67% 6/12), 89% (CR: 88% 15/18) respectively. At a median follow-up of 3.8 years (range 0.04-10.23), the median RFS and OS were 2.7 years (95% CI:1.86, 3.43) and 12 years (95% CI:10.6- NA) respectively. The estimated 3- and 5-year RFS are 46% (95% CI:0.38, 0.55) and 37% (95% CI:0.28, 0.46) respectively. The estimated 3- and 5-year OS were 89% (95% CI:0.82, 0.93) and 82% (95% CI:0.73, 0.88) respectively. At the time of the last follow-up, 79% were alive, while 21% were deceased. The cause of death (COD) was unknown in 50% of the cases and only 10% (3/of deaths were attributed to lymphoma. Other known CODs included infection (20%) and second malignancies 7%. On univariate analysis (UVA), age (p=.007), female sex (p=.04), ECOG PS 1-2 compared to 0 (p=.007) and prior transplant (p=.009) predicted for worse RFS. On multivariate analysis (MVA), only ECOG PS 1-2 (HR 2.31, 95 CI:1.06, 1.18, p=.009) and prior transplant (HR 5.38, 95 CI:2.30, 12.57, p=.0001) had a significant impact on RFS. Age and presence of B symptoms were strong predictors of OS on both UVA (age p=<.0001; B symptoms p=<.0001) and MVA (age: HR 1.12, 95 CI:1.06, 1.18, p=<.0001; B symptoms: HR 16.48, 95 CI: 3.69, 73.60, p=.0002). However, the impact of B symptoms should be interpreted with caution as only 4% of pts presented with this at baseline. On UVA, each one-year increase in age was associated with an 8.5% rise in the risk of death. ECOG PS 1-2 was associated with worse OS on univariate analysis (HR 2.62, 95% CI 0.99, 6.93, p=.05), but was not significant on MVA (HR 1.05, 95% CI 0.368, 2.974, p=.93). Conclusions: In this large RWA of PCALCL, excellent long-term survival was observed with predominantly skin directed frontline therapies. The use of systemic treatments, including BV, was infrequent as first line therapy. Older age and poor PS were significant predictors for reduced survival.

Abstract Introduction Odronextamab, a CD20×CD3 bispecific antibody, demonstrated compelling efficacy with a generally manageable safety profile in heavily pretreated patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) in the Phase 2 ELM-2 study (NCT03888105; Kim TM, et al. Ann Oncol 2024). Pts in ELM-2 received odronextamab monotherapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, with dosing frequency reduced to every 4 weeks (Q4W) in those with sustained complete response (CR) for at least 9 months. Here, we report longer term outcomes in the global FL population of ELM-2, including efficacy and safety in pts who switched to Q4W dosing. Methods Details of the ELM-2 study for the R/R FL cohort have been reported previously. Odronextamab monotherapy was administered intravenously, with step-up dosing in Cycle (C) 1 to help mitigate the risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), followed by 80 mg in C2–4, then 160 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W) maintenance. Pts with a CR for ≥9 months switched from 160 mg Q2W to Q4W. Pts with the opportunity for response assessment at 12 weeks were included in this analysis. Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per Lugano criteria by independent central review (ICR). Key secondary endpoints included CR rate, duration of response (DOR), and progression-free survival (PFS) by ICR, overall survival (OS), and safety. Results As of May 5, 2025 data cutoff, 128 pts with R/R FL Grade (Gr) 1–3a were evaluable for efficacy and safety analysis (overall global population). Median duration of odronextamab exposure was 42.9 weeks (range 0.4–264.0) and median follow-up was 34.1 months (95% CI 33.8–37.9). Eligible pts (n=48) switched to Q4W dosing, with median duration of follow-up from time of switching to Q4W dosing of 19.7 months (95% CI 16.2–31.9). Baseline characteristics were generally similar between the overall population and the subgroup of pts who switched to Q4W dosing. The ORR by ICR in the overall population was 80.5% and CR rate was 74.2%, with a median DOR of 26.0 months and median duration of CR of 32.2 months. In pts with sustained CR for ≥9 months who transitioned to Q4W maintenance, the median DOR from time of switching was 31.5 months. In the overall population, the median PFS was 24.1 months and median OS was not reached (estimated 24- and 36-month OS rates: 70.1% and 64.3%, respectively). In pts with CR, median PFS was 38.0 months and median OS was not reached (24- and 36-month OS rates: 80.1% and 75.2%). All 128 pts had treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), with Gr ≥3 TEAEs reported in 112 pts (87.5%). Discontinuation due to TEAEs occurred in 29 pts (22.7%), and 5 pts died due to treatment-related TEAEs. With the 0.7/4/20 mg step-up regimen, CRS was reported in 55.0% (33/60; Gr 3 in 1 pt) of pts, with no new CRS events observed after switching to Q4W. Infections occurred in 81.3% (Gr ≥3, 46.1%) of pts, with COVID-19 (any Gr, 39.8%) the most frequent. After switching to Q4W dosing, the rate of any grade infection was 81.3% (Gr ≥3, 39.6%). Opportunistic infections (narrow SMQ defined) were reported in 18% (Gr ≥3, 8.6%) of pts in the overall population, with 22.9% (Gr ≥3, 8.3%) of pts having an opportunistic infection after switching to Q4W. Conclusions In the ELM-2 study with ~3-year follow-up in heavily pretreated pts with R/R FL, odronextamab continued to demonstrate deep and durable responses, as well as encouraging PFS and OS, particularly in the majority of pts who achieved CR. Responses remain durable in those who switched to Q4W dosing, lasting for a median additional 31.5 months from the time of switching, demonstrating the long-term, continued therapeutic benefit of odronextamab in pts with R/R FL. The safety profile remained generally manageable, with no new safety signals observed, and no evidence of increased infection risk in pts who switched to Q4W maintenance. Updated data will be presented.

Abstract Introduction: T-PLL is a rare, aggressive leukemia with poor prognosis and limited therapies. Previous studies on T-PLL patients receiving an allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) are limited by small numbers with limited data on disease and transplant characteristics. Further, recent data from our large national cohort of patients demonstrated significant survival difference between TCL1A+ and TCL1A- T-PLL, and CD8+ T-PLL vs CD8- T-PLL. In this large multi-center series, utilizing comprehensive disease subtype and alloSCT clinical data, we evaluated prognostic and survival therapeutic outcomes in T-PLL patients that had an alloSCT with a particular focus on T-PLL disease subtypes. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 572 diagnosed with T-PLL at 21 academic cancer centers throughout the USA between 2000-2023, of which we performed a further evaluation on the169 that proceeded with alloSCT. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed using Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox proportional hazard models. Results: Among n=169 alloSCT recipients with T-PLL, the median follow-up time was 20.9 months post-alloSCT (range: 0.2-182.9), the median age at transplant was 59 years (range: 35-77) and 52% were male. In evaluated patients (n=109), TCL1A was positive by cytogenetics or FISH in 69%. As our recent analysis demonstrated significant differences in survival among specific subtypes of T-PLL, we evaluated outcomes in patients with CD4+CD8- T-PLL (n=90, 53%), CD4-CD8+ (n=17, 10%) T-PLL, and CD4+CD8+ T-PLL (n=52, 31%). 53% (87/164) had known nodal involvement at diagnosis identified by PET or CT scan and 45% (43/96) of known patients had minimal residual disease (MRD) at the time of transplant [defined as <5% T-PLL in marrow by flow, or +cytogenetics (e.g. TCL1A)] prior to alloSCT. At the time of alloSCT, 136 (80%) patients were in CR and 23 (14%) patients were in PR. Forty-nine (30%) had a myeloablative (MAC)conditioning regimen and 114 (70%) had a reduced intensity chemotherapy (RIC) conditioning regimen. Eighty (49%) patients had TBI as part of their regimen. The most common regimens were fludarabine (flu)/melphalan based regimens (n=44; 26.0%), flu/cyclophosphamide (cy) based regimens (n=33; 19.5%), flu/busulfan based regimens (n=22; 13.0%), flu/total body irradiation (TBI) (n=8; 4.7%), and cy/TBI (n=4; 2.4%). Across the whole cohort, the median OS and PFS post-alloSCT was 32.6 months (95% CI: 21.0-41.9) and 20.8 months (95% CI: 14.4-30.5) months while the 1-year cumulative incidences (CI) of NRM and relapse were 17% and 20%, respectively. The incidences of grade II-IV acute GVHD and cGVHD were 19% and 23%. There was no difference between patients with myeloablative conditioning (MAC) (n=49, 29%) when compared to patients that received reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) (n=114, 67%) in OS (33.1 vs 29.2; p=0.68) and PFS (20.2 vs 20.8; p=0.97). Patients that were MRD+ (n=31) had worse OS (22.2 vs 48.6; p=0.1) and PFS (14.1 vs 32.5; p=0.04) and higher rates of relapse (1-year relapse 20% vs 8%; p=0.08) than patients that were MRD- (n=50). PFS was improved in those who received alloSCT though only trended towards significance due to low numbers (HR 0.76, p=0.09). In subtype analysis, TCL1A+ T-PLL had significantly worse outcomes compared to TCL1A negative T-PLL. TCL1A+ disease had significantly worse OS (21.6 vs 63.1; p=0.01) and PFS (12.4 vs 50.7; p=0.01) compared to TCL1A-. Additionally, in TCL1A+ disease CI of NRM (24% vs 3%; p=0.02) and relapse (25% vs 12%; p=0.86) was higher vs TCL1A- PLL. CD4+CD8-, CD4-CD8+, and CD4+CD8+ disease had no difference in survival via either OS (28.0 vs 34.4 vs 21.0; p=0.17) or PFS (29.4 vs 23.5 vs 13.6; p=0.09) as well as no difference 1-year CI of NRM ( 11.6 vs 23.5 vs 26.2; p=0.35) and relapse (18.5 vs 23.5 vs 20.0; p=0.67).Conclusions: AlloSCT significantly improved outcomes for patients with T-PLL compared to those who did not proceed to alloSCT and remains he only curative therapy for those with T-PLL. OS, PFS, and CI relapse were significantly worse for patients with TCL1A+ subtype of T-PLL, or those with MRD positivity or PR prior to alloSCT. Novel strategies to decrease relapse such as post-alloSCT maintenance therapy to improve outcomes are urgently needed in these patients.

7049 Background: Odronextamab, an investigational off-the-shelf CD20×CD3 bispecific antibody, demonstrated compelling efficacy and a generally manageable safety profile in heavily pretreated pts with R/R FL in the primary analysis of the Phase 2 ELM-2 study (NCT03888105; Kim TM, et al. Ann Oncol 2024). We present updated efficacy and safety data for odronextamab in pts with R/R FL from ELM-2 after >2 yrs follow-up. Methods: Odronextamab was administered intravenously until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity, with Cycle (C) 1 step-up dosing to help mitigate cytokine release syndrome (CRS) risk, as reported previously. Pts with a complete response (CR) for ≥9 months (mo) switched from maintenance dosing Q2W to Q4W. Primary endpoint: objective response rate (ORR) per Lugano criteria by independent central review (ICR); secondary endpoints: CR rate, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS). Results: At the updated data cutoff (Aug 15, 2024), 157 pts with centrally confirmed R/R FL Grade (Gr) 1–3a were enrolled. Median no. of treatment cycles: 19.0 (range 0.1–117.3); 96.2% (n = 151) and 82.8% (n = 130) of pts completed C1 and C4, respectively. The global cohort comprised 128 pts evaluable for efficacy. At a median efficacy follow-up of 28.3 mo, ORR was 80.5% (n = 103) by ICR and CR rate was 74.2% (n = 95); 92.2% of responders achieved CR. Responses were durable (median DOR, 26.0 mo; median duration of CR, 32.2 mo). ORR was consistent across high-risk subgroups (Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index score 3–5, 78.4%; progression of disease within 2 yrs of frontline therapy, 81.0%). Median PFS was 23.0 mo (estimated 36-mo PFS rate, 37.5%), and median OS was 54.2 mo (estimated 36-mo OS rate, 62.6%). Median PFS was longer in pts who were minimal residual disease (MRD) negative (42.4 mo) versus MRD positive (21.6 mo) at Week 12. Of 47/128 pts who switched to Q4W dosing, 32 remained in CR. The odronextamab long-term safety profile was consistent with the primary analysis. All 157 pts had TEAEs (Gr ≥3, 86.0%), and 15.3% discontinued treatment due to TEAEs (most common: COVID-19 infection, 2.5%). With 0.7/4/20 mg step-up dosing (n = 89), CRS events were mostly low grade (Gr 1, 46.1%; Gr 2, 13.5%; Gr 3, n = 1; Gr ≥4, n = 0), occurred mostly in C1, and resolved in a median of 8.4 hrs. Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome was reported in one pt (Gr 2). Infections were reported in 79.0% of pts (124/157; Gr ≥3, 42.0%). COVID-19-related infections were reported in 38.2% of pts (Gr 5, 5.7%). Conclusions: With longer follow-up, odronextamab demonstrated durable responses in heavily pretreated pts with R/R FL from ELM-2, with robust efficacy in those with high-risk features, and a generally manageable safety profile. Overall, these compelling results support odronextamab as a potential off-the-shelf treatment option for pts with R/R FL. Clinical trial information: NCT03888105 .

Introduction: Adults older than 60 years constitute 20-25% of newly diagnosed classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and have inferior outcomes compared to younger patients (pts). Salvage therapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is a potentially curative option for pts with relapsed/refractory (R/R cHL). There is limited data regarding outcomes of older adults with R/R cHL who undergo ASCT in the current era where novel agents are employed in the R/R setting, in comparison with younger patients. Methods: This multicenter, international, retrospective study of 18 participating institutions included adults with R/R cHL who underwent ASCT from January 1, 2010 through December 31 2020. Retrospective chart review was performed to collect data on patient and disease characteristics at relapse, including lines and type of salvage therapy, pre-ASCT response by PET, and use of brentuximab vedotin (BV) as consolidation post-ASCT. Study objectives were to assess progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and the probability of non-relapse mortality (NRM) with relapse as a competing event. NRM was defined as death without preceding relapse. Results: Of the total 1172 adults with R/R cHL enrolled in the parent cohort, 96 (8.1%) were age 60 years or older at the time of ASCT. In this older cohort, the median age was 66 years (range: 60-72). 54 (56%) were age 60-64, 31 (32%) were of age 65-69 and 11 (11%) were of age 70-72. 59 (61%) were male, 63 (66%) had advanced stage disease, 17 (18%) had bulky disease, 37 (39%) had B symptoms and 38 (40%) had extranodal disease. All patients (pts) received ABVD or ABVD-like frontline therapy. The median time to relapse was 6 months (range: 0-174). 48 pts (50%) relapsed within a year after completion of frontline treatment and 25 (26%) had primary refractory disease. Salvage therapy prior to ASCT included platinum-based chemotherapy (65%), BV-based regimen (34%), and PD-1 inhibitor-based regimens (3%). 16 pts (16%) underwent ASCT after >1 line of salvage therapy and 75 (78%) underwent ASCT after achieving a complete metabolic response (CMR). 14 pts (14.6%) received BV consolidation. Median follow-up for entire population was 53.4 months (range: 0.3-199.0). In older adults, the 5-year PFS was 54.2% (CI95: 43.4-67.6) not statistically different compared to pts <60 years (67.7% (CI95: 64.3-71.3), p=0.2). However, 5-year OS was inferior in older adults: 71.9% (CI95: 43.4-67.6) vs. 82.6% (CI95: 43.4-67.6) in pts <60 years (p <0.0001)). In pts ≥60, 26 (27%) died including 12 (12.5%) without preceding relapse. Older adults had 3-month, 1-year and 5-year probability of NRM of 5.2% (CI95: 2.2-12.2), 7.5% (CI95: 3.6-15.3), and 10.9% (CI95: 5.8-20.8), respectively. NRM was significantly higher in older adults compared to pts <60 who had 3-month, 1-year and 5-year probability of NRM of 0.3% (CI95: 0.1-1.0), 0.9% (CI95: 0.5-1.7), and 2.5% (CI95: 1.6-3.9), respectively (p<0.0001). Older adults had 3-month, 1-year and 5-year probability of relapse of 1% (CI95: 0.2-7.3), 7.5% (CI95: 3.6-15.3), and 28.6% (CI95: 19.1-42.1), respectively, which did not differ significantly from younger pts (p=0.3) who had 3-month, 1-year and 5-year probability of relapse of 0.6% (CI95: 0.3-1.3), 5.1% (CI95: 3.8-6.6), and 29.9% (CI95: 26.6-33.5), respectively. Conclusions: Although older adults with cHL are more likely to relapse after frontline treatment, only a minority of pts (<10%) in this large multicenter cohort underwent ASCT at age ≥60. In select older adults who underwent ASCT, the risk of relapse was similar to younger pts, but NRM was significantly higher, especially in the early post-ASCT period. Detailed assessment of comorbidity scores, toxicities of salvage therapies, and prognostic factors will be presented at the conference.

Introduction In ELM-2 (NCT03888105), a Phase 2, open-label, multicohort study, odronextamab monotherapy demonstrated encouraging clinical efficacy, generally manageable safety, and maintenance of patient-reported outcomes in R/R FL (Chong et al. AACR 2024; Tessoulin et al. ASH 2023). In the absence of head-to-head clinical trials comparing CD20×CD3 bispecific antibodies in R/R FL, two unanchored MAICs were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of odronextamab versus mosunetuzumab and epcoritamab in patients with R/R FL in the third-line or later (3L+) setting. Methods Patient-level data from the ELM-2 R/R FL cohort receiving odronextamab (N=128; data cutoff: October 2023) were compared with published data from similar cohorts in the GO29781 trial of mosunetuzumab (N=90; Budde et al. Lancet Oncol 2022) and EPCORE NHL-1 trial of epcoritamab (N=128; Linton et al. Lancet Haematol 2024). To adjust for baseline differences in the trial populations, a priori-identified prognostic variables (progression of disease within 2 years, primary refractory, refractory to last line of therapy [LOT], number of prior LOTs, serum lactate dehydrogenase level, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index, age at start of LOT, and Ann Arbor disease stage) were included in the base-case MAICs. Two additional variables (double refractory and prior autologous stem cell transplant), reported in ELM-2 and the comparator studies, were included in a sensitivity analysis. The MAICs reported here were focused on response outcomes as assessed by independent central review, which were reported across trials. Relative treatment effects before and after matching were presented as odds ratios (ORs), along with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results The effective sample size for odronextamab was 102.0 after matching with mosunetuzumab and 90.6 after matching with epcoritamab in the base-case MAICs. All key prognostic variables were balanced between ELM-2 and both comparator trials in each analysis. Before and after matching, odronextamab demonstrated comparable objective response rates (ORRs) and significantly higher complete response (CR) rates versus mosunetuzumab (before matching: ORR 80.5% vs 80.0%, OR 1.03 [95% CI 0.52-2.03], p=0.93; CR rate 73.4% vs 60.0%, OR 1.84 [95% CI 1.04-3.28], p=0.04; after matching: ORR 83.5% vs 80.0%, OR 1.27 [95% CI 0.61-2.65], p=0.53; CR rate 75.7% vs 60.0%, OR 2.08 [95% CI 1.12-3.86], p=0.02). Odronextamab demonstrated numerically higher CR rates versus epcoritamab before and after matching (before matching: CR rate 73.4% vs 62.5%, OR 1.66 [95% CI 0.98-2.82], p=0.06; after matching: CR rate 69.4% vs 62.5%, OR 1.36 [95% CI 0.77-2.41], p=0.29). The ORRs of odronextamab and epcoritamab were comparable before matching (ORR 80.5% vs 82.0%, OR 0.90 [95% CI 0.48-1.69], p=0.75) and after matching (ORR 78.1% vs 82.0%, OR 0.78 [95% CI 0.40-1.53], p=0.47). Consistent results were observed in the sensitivity analyses. Conclusions In the absence of head-to-head clinical trials comparing bispecific antibodies in the setting of 3L+ FL, MAICs demonstrate that odronextamab was associated with higher CR rates compared with mosunetuzumab and epcoritamab. Since achieving a CR in the R/R FL setting is an important treatment goal, our results highlight the potential of odronextamab as an effective treatment option in R/R FL.

Abstract Little is known about risk factors for central nervous system (CNS) relapse in mature T-cell and natural killer cell neoplasms (MTNKNs). We aimed to describe the clinical epidemiology of CNS relapse in patients with MTNKN and developed the CNS relapse In T-cell lymphoma Index (CITI) to predict patients at the highest risk of CNS relapse. We reviewed data from 135 patients with MTNKN and CNS relapse from 19 North American institutions. After exclusion of leukemic and most cutaneous forms of MTNKNs, patients were pooled with non-CNS relapse control patients from a single institution to create a CNS relapse–enriched training set. Using a complete case analysis (n = 182), including 91 with CNS relapse, we applied a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression model to select weighted clinicopathologic variables for the CITI score, which we validated in an external cohort from the Swedish Lymphoma Registry (n = 566). CNS relapse was most frequently observed in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (25%). Median time to CNS relapse and median overall survival after CNS relapse were 8.0 and 4.7 months, respectively. We calculated unique CITI risk scores for individual training set patients and stratified them into risk terciles. Validation set patients with low-risk (n = 158) and high-risk (n = 188) CITI scores had a 10-year cumulative risk of CNS relapse of 2.2% and 13.4%, respectively (hazard ratio, 5.24; 95% confidence interval, 1.50-18.26; P = .018). We developed an open-access web-based CITI calculator (https://redcap.link/citicalc) to provide an easy tool for clinical practice. The CITI score is a validated model to predict patients with MTNKN at the highest risk of developing CNS relapse.

Abstract Background: R/R FL is an incurable disease and outcomes worsen with successive relapses. A high unmet need remains for therapies that improve tumor control and extend survival after relapse. Odronextamab, an off-the-shelf CD20×CD3 bispecific antibody, demonstrated compelling efficacy, generally manageable safety, and maintenance of pt-reported overall quality of life scores from baseline in an interim analysis of the ELM-2 study (NCT03888105) in heavily pretreated pts with R/R FL (Villasboas et al. ASH 2023). Here, for the first time, we present the primary analysis of R/R FL in ELM-2. Methods: IV odronextamab was administered in 21-day cycles (C) until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity. Steroid prophylaxis and step-up dosing (0.7/4/20 mg) were used in C1 to mitigate the risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), followed by 80 mg on Days (D) 1, 8, and 15 of C2-4. Maintenance dosing continued at 160 mg Q2W, or Q4W if complete response (CR) was durable for 9 months (mo). Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per Lugano criteria by independent central review (ICR). Secondary endpoints included CR rate, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Primary analysis was performed when 128 pts had ≥52 weeks’ follow-up. Results: At data cutoff (Oct 20, 2023), 128 pts with FL Grade (Gr) 1-3a were evaluable for efficacy and safety: median age 61 yrs (range 22-84); FLIPI risk score 3-5 57.8%; POD24 49.2%; median 3 prior lines of therapy (2-13); 71.9% refractory to last treatment (Tx); 74.2% refractory to an anti-CD20 antibody. The median no. of Tx cycles was 19.4 (0.1-95.9); 95.3% and 85.2% of pts completed C1 and C4, respectively.Median efficacy follow-up was 20.1 mo; ORR was 80.5% and CR rate was 73.4% confirmed by ICR. Responses were durable (median DOR 22.6 mo; median DOCR 25.1 mo). Median PFS was 20.7 mo and 24-mo PFS was 46.1%. Median OS was not reached and 24-mo OS was 70.1%.The odronextamab safety profile was generally manageable and consistent with previous reports. Tx-emergent adverse events (AEs) occurred in all pts (Gr ≥3 85.9%); 15.6% had AEs leading to Tx discontinuation. With 0.7/4/20 mg step up (n=60), CRS events were mostly low grade (Gr 1 45.0%; Gr 2 10.0%; Gr 3 in 1 pt), occurred mostly in C1, and resolved in a median of 2 days; ICANS was reported in 1 pt (Gr 2). Infection rates were consistent with heavily pretreated, immunosuppressed pts (Leonard et al. JCO 2019; Hayne et al. BBMT 2020), occurring in 79.7% (102/128) of pts (Gr 4/5 14.0%; COVID-19 36.7% [Gr 5 6.3%]).Conclusion: Odronextamab demonstrated deep and durable responses in heavily pretreated pts with R/R FL; 91% of responders achieved CR, correlating with favorable PFS and OS at 24 mo. Odronextamab had a generally manageable safety profile and a low incidence of Gr 3 CRS/ICANS. Odronextamab could offer an important off-the-shelf Tx option for pts with heavily pretreated R/R FL.
