The treatment landscape of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) has significantly evolved in recent years. Targeted therapy with Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors and BCL-2 inhibitors has emerged as an effective chemotherapy-free option for patients with previously untreated or relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL. Undetectable minimal residual disease after the end of treatment is emerging as an important predictor of progression-free and overall survival for patients treated with fixed-duration BCL-2 inhibitor-based treatment. These NCCN Guidelines Insights discuss the updates to the NCCN Guidelines for CLL/SLL specific to the use of chemotherapy-free treatment options for patients with treatment-naïve and relapsed/refractory disease.

e19583 Background: Brexucabtagene autoleucel (BA) is an FDA approved therapy for relapsed/refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), based on results from ZUMA-2 study. We report the safety and efficacy of BA in standard of care practice among centers in the US Lymphoma CAR-T Consortium. Methods: 16 centers participated in this retrospective study. Patients (pts) who underwent leukapheresis by 12/31/2021 with an intent to manufacture BA were included. Baseline clinical characteristics, bridging therapy, adverse events after BA infusion, and post-infusion outcome data were collected. Eligibility for ZUMA-2 was retrospectively determined. Survival outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: At the data cut-off date, 189 pts underwent leukapheresis, among whom 167 (88%) completed BA infusion, 22 (12%) did not receive infusion. The median age was 67 years. 16% had high risk simplified MIPI, 57% had Ki-67≥50%, 41% had aggressive histology, 49% had TP53 alteration, 51% with POD24 and 10% had CNS involvement. The median number of prior lines of therapy was 3 (range 1-10). 86% had prior BTKi treatment (89% refractory). 130 (78%) pts would not have met ZUMA-2 eligibility criteria. 113 (68%) pts received bridging therapy, which included BTKi, venetoclax, chemotherapy. Median time from leukapheresis to lymphodepletion chemotherapy: 28 days (range 17-140). Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) rate was 90% (8% grade ≥3; 1 grade 5), and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) rate was 61% (32% grade ≥3). Grade 5 ICANS (n = 0). Medications used to manage CRS and ICANS were 125 (76%) for tocilizumab, 112 (68%) for corticosteroid, and 27 (16%) for anakinra. 32 (20%) pts required ICU admission, 18 pts required vasopressors, and 5 pts required mechanical ventilation. Day 30 response was evaluable in 155 pts (89% ORR, 70% CR). The best ORR was 89%, with 80% CR, 9% PR. The ORR/CR rates were 88%/79% for aggressive histology, 89%/77% for high Ki-67% (> 50%), 90%/72% for TP53 altered, 81%/75% for CNS involved, 89%/79% for BTKi-exposed, 91%/83% for BTKi-naïve, and 89%/78% for those not meeting ZUMA-2 eligibility criteria. The median duration of response was not reached and at 6-month was 67% (95% CI 57-75). With a median follow-up of 5.6 months (range 0.2-15.3), median PFS was not reached, the 6-month PFS rate was 63% (95% CI 54-71), and median OS was 15.3 months and the 6-month OS rate was 85% (95% CI 77-90). Conclusions: This multicenter retrospective study demonstrated encouraging safety and efficacy data of BA in R/R MCL in the real-world practice. Despite 78% of the pts being ineligible for ZUMA-2, the responses, CRS, ICANS and outcomes were comparable to ZUMA-2 data. Long term safety and efficacy will be reported.

7571 Background: In clinical trials of CAR T-cell therapies and real-world studies published to date, there is a paucity of data on outcomes by race and ethnicity. Here, we examined outcomes by race and ethnicity among LBCL pts who received axi-cel in the real-world setting. Methods: A total of 1389 pts with LBCL were identified from a non-interventional post-authorization safety study with pts receiving commercial axi-cel between 10/2017 and 08/2020. Race (African American or Asian vs White) and ethnicity (Hispanic vs non-Hispanic) were self-reported by pts. Pts with rescinded consent, enrolled in trials, having prior non-HCT cellular therapy, primary CNS lymphoma, unknown comorbidity or data in query were excluded. Median follow-up was 12.7 mo. Outcomes included ORR, CR rate, DOR, PFS and OS, grade ≥ 3 CRS (Lee 2014 criteria) and ICANS (ASTCT consensus grade). ORR and CR were evaluated in pts with ≥ 180 days of follow-up. Kaplan-Meier estimates were calculated for PFS and OS. Multivariable analyses comparing race and ethnicity were conducted via logistic and Cox regression. Results: Among all, 1127 (81%) were White, 70 (5%) African American and 81 (6%) Asian; 152 (11%) were Hispanic including 104 White, 2 Black, and 1 Asian Hispanic. African Americans, compared to White, were younger (median age 55.5 vs 62.8 years), more likely to have pulmonary impairment (41% vs 28%) and tended to have longer time from diagnosis (≥ 12 mo 71% vs 59%). Hispanic pts were younger (median age 58.5 vs 62.6 years) than non-Hispanic pts. ORR was 74% (CR 57%, 12-mo PFS and OS 48% and 63%) for White, 57% (CR 45%, 12-mo PFS and OS 36% and 62%) for African American, 67% (CR 53%, 12-mo PFS and OS 55% and 65%) for Asian and 73% (CR 55%, 12-mo PFS and OS 50% and 65%) for Hispanic pts. Grade ≥ 3 CRS and ICANS occurred in 7% and 18% of African American, 10% and 19% of Asian, and 8% and 27% of White pts, respectively. Hispanic pts had lower rates of grade ≥ 3 CRS and ICANS (4% and 15%) vs non-Hispanic (9% and 27%). African American race was associated with inferior ORR (OR 0.40; 95% CI, 0.24-0.69) and CR rate (OR 0.55; 95% CI 0.32-0.93) vs White. Asian pts had favorable DOR compared to both White (HR 0.46; 95% CI 0.24-0.87) and African American (HR 0.39; 95% CI 0.17-0.88). No statistical differences were found in OS and PFS across races, nor in any efficacy outcome between Hispanic and non-Hispanic pts. Asian (OR 0.52; 95% CI 0.29-0.96 vs White) and Hispanic pts (OR 0.51; 95% CI 0.31-0.85 vs non-Hispanic) had lower risk of grade ≥ 3 ICANS. Conclusions: Overall, axi-cel showed favorable OS, PFS and safety profile regardless of race and ethnicity in the real-world setting. No notable differences in outcomes were observed for Hispanic or Asian pts. Lower response rates in African American pts noted here warrant further investigation including any underrepresentation not explained by a lower incidence rate for DLBCL (SEER), access to care, and disease burden.

7010 Background: Brexucabtagene autoleucel (KTE-X19) is an autologous anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy approved in the US to treat adult R/R B-ALL based on the ZUMA-3 study. The overall complete remission (CR) rate (CR + CR with incomplete hematologic recovery [CRi]) was 71% (95% CI, 57-82) after 16.4 mo median follow-up (N = 55; Shah et al. Lancet 2021). Here, we report updated outcomes with longer follow-up in these pts and in a larger pooled analysis of Phase (Ph) 1 and 2 pts who received the pivotal dose of KTE-X19. Methods: Eligible adults (≥18 years) had R/R B-ALL and received a single infusion of KTE-X19 at the pivotal dose (1×106 CAR T cells/kg) following leukapheresis and conditioning chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was CR/CRi rate by central review. Results: As of 23 July 2021, median follow-up was 26.8 mo (range, 20.7-32.6) for treated Ph 2 pts (N = 55). The CR/CRi rate per central review was 71% (95% CI, 57-82; 56% CR; 15% CRi). Eleven pts (20%; 8 CR and 2 CRi) proceeded to subsequent allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT). Median duration of remission (DOR) censored at subsequent alloSCT was 14.6 mo (9.4-not estimable [NE]); not censored: 18.6 mo (9.6-NE); 6/39 responders (15%) had ongoing responses at data cutoff. Median (95% CI) relapse-free survival (RFS) was 11.6 mo (2.7-20.5) censored at subsequent alloSCT and 11.7 mo (2.8-20.5) not censored at subsequent alloSCT; 18-mo RFS rates (95% CI) were 35% (20.5-50.6) and 42% (28.0-55.0), respectively. Median (95% CI) overall survival (OS) was 25.4 mo (16.2-NE) among all KTE-X19-treated pts and not reached (25.4-NE) in pts with CR (n = 31). For Ph 1/2 pts (N = 78) who received the pivotal KTE-X19 dose (median follow-up: 29.7 mo; range 20.7-58.3), the CR/CRi rate by independent review was 73% (95% CI, 62-82). Medians (95% CI) for DOR, RFS, and OS were 18.6 mo (9.6-NE), 11.7 mo (6.1-20.5), and 25.4 mo (16.2-NE), respectively. A subgroup analysis revealed that in pts aged 18-39 (n = 36), 40-59 (n = 27), and ≥60 (n = 15) years, the CR/CRi rates (95% CI) were 69% (52-84), 70% (50-86), and 87% (60-98); 24-mo OS rates (95% CI) were 48% (30-64), 54% (33-71), and 57% (28-78), respectively. In pts with pre-KTE-X19 infusion marrow blast percentages > 25 to ≤50 (n = 12), > 50 to ≤75 (n = 14), and > 75 to 100 (n = 30), CR/CRi rates (95% CI) were 83% (52-98), 86% (57-98), and 57% (37-75); 24-mo OS rates (95% CI) were 58% (27-80), 55% (26-77) and 37% (19-55), respectively. There were no new safety signals; the proportion of treated Ph 2 pts with Gr ≥3 treatment emergent adverse events was unchanged since prior data cutoff. One pt had an ongoing neurologic event of Gr 1 finger numbness. Conclusions: With longer follow-up and an expanded data set by independent review, outcomes remain durable in adults with R/R B-ALL, most of whom were heavily pretreated, with median OS not yet reached in pts with CR. Long-term safety was favorable. Clinical trial information: NCT02614066.

Abstract Background and Rationale: Axi-cel is a standard-of-care treatment for relapsed or refractory LBCL after 2 or more lines of systemic therapy. Some patients who would have been ineligible for ZUMA-1 criteria due to comorbidities have been treated with axi-cel in the real-world setting. We interrogated a large registry of patients treated with standard-of-care axi-cel for a definitive report on the impact of age or certain comorbidities on safety and efficacy outcomes after axi-cel infusion. Methods: From October 2017 to August 2020, 1500 patients were enrolled in the postapproval safety observational study of axi-cel treated at 79 centers. Patients eligible for the protocol and followed up for at least 6 months with complete data entry by the time of analyses were included. One patient rescinded consent and 1 was deemed ineligible. Patients previously treated with immune effector cell therapy (n=31), with incomplete follow-up reporting (n=92), or alive but last contacted <180 days postinfusion (n=32) were excluded from analysis. Main efficacy outcomes included complete and objective response rates (CR and ORR), duration of response (DOR), progression-free and overall survival (PFS and OS). Safety endpoints of interest included cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Outcomes were assessed and compared by age and preselected coexisting disease or organ impairment within 3 months prior to the infusion included in the hematopoietic cell transplantation comorbidity index. Multivariate logistic and Cox regression models were used to assess the impact of age or coexistent organ dysfunction on outcomes via odds ratio (OR) or hazard ratio (HR) and their 95% CIs. Results A total of 1343 patients were included in the analysis with a median 25.1 months (range, 10.3-42.7 months) for potential follow-up, defined from infusion to data cutoff date, and a median 11.8 months (range, 0.1-38.8 months) for actual follow-up time, defined from infusion to date of death or last contact. Of these, 38% were 65 years or older (median 62 years), 4% had a performance score ≥2, 13% had cardiac comorbidities, 16% had a prior cancer, 9% were obese, 2% had moderate to severe hepatic comorbidities, and 2% had renal comorbidities. Transformed lymphoma, double or triple-hit by fluorescence in situ hybridization, prior autologous transplant and refractory disease were present in 28%, 15%, 27% and 66%, respectively. Bridging therapy was administered in 21% of patients. Overall, ORR was 74%, (CR 56%), and probabilities of DOR, PFS, and OS at 18 months were 61% (95% CI, 57-65%), 42% (95% CI, 39-45%) and 52% (95% CI, 49-55%), respectively. Overall rates of CRS and ICANS were 83% and 55%, respectively. ORR was 78% (CR 62%, median OS 17.5 [95% CI, 16.0-not evaluated (NE)] months) for patients ≥65 years, ORR 57% (CR 29%; median OS 4.3 [95% CI, 2.5-8.3] months) for patients with hepatic dysfunction, ORR 70% (CR 43%; median OS 8.9 [95% CI, 3.8-NE] months) for patients with renal dysfunction; and ORR 47% (CR 20%, median OS 4 [95% CI, 2.6-6.9] months) for patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 2 or 3. Multivariate analyses indicated that advanced age (≥65 years vs <65 years; OR 1.38; 95% CI, 1.05-1.83), moderate to severe pulmonary disease (yes vs no; OR 0.74; 95% CI, 0.55-0.98), and ECOG (2-3 vs 0-1; OR 0.31, 95% CI, 0.18-0.53) impacted ORR (Table). Age ≥65 years did not have an impact on survival (HR 1.05, 95% CI, 0.88-1.26), although it was associated with CRS (OR 1.42, 95% CI, 1.03-1.96) and ICANS (OR 1.78, 95% CI, 1.39-2.28). Coexistent cardiac disease (HR 1.44, 95% CI, 1.12-1.83), renal disease (HR 2.13, 95% CI, 1.32-3.46) and hepatic dysfunction (HR 2.65, 95% CI, 1.69-4.14) had an impact on OS, but not on response, CRS, and ICANS. ECOG significantly impacted all efficacy outcomes. None of the other comorbidities tested significantly impacted outcomes. Conclusion: Advanced age (≥65 years) was not associated with worse efficacy outcomes after axi-cel, despite higher rates of CRS and ICANS, which require closer monitoring. Performance status rather than age should be accounted for in patient selection and treatment decisions with axi-cel. Most coexistent organ dysfunctions have no clinically significant impact on axi-cel objective response and safety outcomes. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Abstract Introduction: Brexucabtagene autoleucel (brexu-cel) was approved by US FDA for relapsed/refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) on July 24, 2020 based on results from the pivotal ZUMA-2 (NCT02601313) study, in which an objective response rate (ORR) of 93% and a complete response (CR) rate of 67% were achieved among the 60 treated patients with at least 7 months of follow-up. The study had stringent eligibility criteria, including prior treatment with a BTK inhibitor (BTKi), and only allowed BTKi and/or corticosteroid for bridging therapy. We report here the safety and efficacy of brexu-cel in standard of care practice among centers in the US Lymphoma CAR-T Consortium. Methods: Fourteen centers participated in this retrospective study. Patients who underwent leukapheresis by 6/15/2021 with an intent to manufacture brexu-cel were included. Baseline clinical characteristics, bridging therapy, adverse events after brexu-cel infusion, and post-infusion outcome data were collected. Eligibility for ZUMA-2 was retrospectively determined based on characteristics at the time of leukapheresis. Duration of response (time from initial response to disease progression or death from any cause), progression-free survival (PFS; time from infusion to disease progression or death from any cause) and overall survival (OS; time from infusion to death from any cause) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: At the data cut-off date of 7/9/2021, 107 patients underwent leukapheresis, among whom 93 (87%) completed brexu-cel infusion, 2 (2%) were waiting for infusion, and 12 (11%) did not receive infusion (manufacture failure n=6, organ dysfunction n=1, death n=5). Baseline clinical characteristics of the 93 infused patients are shown in Table 1. The median age was 67 years and 81% were male. 32% had high risk simplified MIPI, 77% had Ki-67≥30%, 45% had blastoid or pleomorphic variant, 46% had TP53 alteration, 29% had complex karyotype, and 7% had CNS involvement. The median number of prior lines of therapy was 3. Eighty-two percent had prior BTKi treatment, and 44% had refractory disease to the last line of therapy. Sixty-eight (73%) patients would not have met ZUMA-2 eligibility criteria. Reasons for ineligibility included ECOG PS ≥2 (n=8), CNS involvement by lymphoma (n=6), prior therapies (n=33), cytopenia (n=11), renal or hepatic dysfunction (n=13), other medical conditions (n=18), and active infection (n=2). Sixty (65%) of the 93 patients received bridging therapy, which included BTKi (n=27), venetoclax (n=14), chemotherapy (n=19), CD20 antibody (n=26), lenalidomide (n=3), corticosteroid (n=9), and radiotherapy (n=13). Only 13 (14%) patients received BTKi or corticosteroid alone as in ZUMA-2. Among 93 infused patients, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) rate was 88% (8% grade ≥3), and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) rate was 58% (33% grade ≥3). No grade 5 CRS or ICANS occurred. Medications used to manage CRS and ICANS were 71 (76%) for tocilizumab, 64 (69%) for steroid, and 16 (17%) for anakinra. Twenty-four (26%) patients required ICU admission, 9 patients required vasopressors, and 4 patients required mechanical ventilation. With a median follow-up of 3.0 months (range 0.1-9.6), day 30 response was evaluable in 81 patients, and the ORR was 86%, with 64% CR (Table 2). The ORR/CR rates were 94%/70% for blastoid or pleomorphic variants, 82%/50% for TP53 altered, 84%/61% for BTKi-exposed, 94%/76% for BTKi-naïve, and 88%/67% for those not meeting ZUMA-2 eligibility criteria. The ORR/CR rates were 87%/69% for patients who received bridging therapy and 85%/56% for those who did not. For patients who achieved a response at day 30, the rate of continued response at 3-month was 83.7% (95% CI 68.3%-92.0%). The 3-month PFS rate was 80.6% (95% CI 68.6%-88.4%), and the 6-month OS rate was 82.1% (95% CI 67.7%-90.5%). Conclusions: This multicenter retrospective study demonstrated encouraging safety and efficacy data of brexu-cel in R/R MCL in the real world practice. The CRS and ICANS incidences were comparable to those reported in ZUMA-2, but use of tocilizumab and steroid was more frequent than in ZUMA-2. Although 73% of the patients would have been ineligible for ZUMA-2, the ORR and CR rate were comparable to those reported in ZUMA-2. Longer follow-up is necessary to confirm long term safety and efficacy. YW, PJ and FLL are co-first authors, and YL, MW and MDJ are co-senior authors. Figure 1 Figure 1.
