Abstract Background: Disparities in MM survival among different racial groups persist despite improvements in overall survival (OS). We report a comprehensive review of the SEER Medicare database to elucidate the causes of differences in disease presentation, management practices, cost of care and their relationships to outcomes among the MM patients (pts) from different racial groups. Methods: Pts diagnosed with MM between 1991-2010 with continuous Medicare coverage (1 year prior to diagnosis-date of death/end of 2012) were included. MM complications (MM-C); hypercalcemia (C), renal dysfunction (R), anemia (An), bone fractures (B), dialysis (D) occurring prior to/within 30 days of MM diagnosis (at diagnosis; AT-D), or any time later (after diagnosis; AF-D) were summarized. Demographics, survival (PEDSAF files) and disease characteristics, drug/stem cell transplant (SCT) utilization (NCH, OUTSAF, PDESAF files) were obtained. Trends in incidence of MM-C, treatment type over time (proportional odds) and their association with race (logistic regressions) were compared. Associations between race, MM-C AT-D and MM related death using Fine and Gray's competing risk methods were analyzed. Medicare claims adjusted for inflation (2013) within the first 6 months (mth)/total MM care were summed by drug and total charges. Median cost of care by race and year of diagnosis were evaluated by Kruskal-Wallis (univariate) and proportional odds models (multivariate). Results: A total of 35842 pts (52.1% males) with median age of 76 yr (range 18-104) were included. Mutually exclusive racial subgroups were: White (W, 72%), Hispanic (H: 7.3%), African-American (AA, 16.2%), Asian (A, 4.1%), other (0.3%). A significantly increasing trend in the prevalence of all MM-C AT-D was seen over time (all p<0.001). For AF-D, all MM-C initially increased but decreased from 2006-2010 except D that showed continued increase (Fig 1A). For race, MM-C were significantly different, with AA having the most C, R, An and D while W having the most B (Fig 1B). Inferior OS was seen with male gender (p=0.006), increasing age, earlier years of diagnosis, belonging to W or H race, C, R and B (all p<0.001), but not with An (p=0.298) or D (p=0.378). Trends in OS over time showed a significant interaction with race in 1991-1995 (p<0.001), 1996-2000 (p=0.004) and 2001-2005 (p<0.001) but not in 2006-2010 (p=0.182), possibly due to shorter follow up. Medicare claims analysis showed that pts receiving any treatment increased from 12.8% in 1991-1995 to 59.3% in 2006-2010 (p<0.001). Specific therapy utilization, including SCT and all drug classes/agents evaluated increased except for cytotoxic chemotherapy utilization (melphalan/cyclophosphamide), which decreased (Fig 2A). Any therapy utilization was significantly different by race (p<0.001) with highest for H (36.5%) and lowest for AA (31.6%). Specific treatments differed significantly by race (Fig 2B). Cost of care analysis showed significant increase over years for median drug claims (0.23k to 3.63k) and total claims (5.11k to 27.8k) during first 6 mth as well as for any time after MM diagnosis (drug: 1.3k to 9.9k, total: 21.9k to 84k) (p<0.001 for all). Median drug claims in first 6 mth were highest among AA (1.3k) and lowest among A (0.63k) (p<0.001). Same was true for total claims in first 6 mth (p<0.001). For any time after diagnosis, H had the highest drug (p<0.001) and total (p=0.081) claims. There were significant interactions between year of diagnosis, race and cost of care with H seeing the highest increase in drug claims in first 6 mth (p<0.001) and any time (p=0.002). Conclusion: MM-C have generally decreased AF-D due to improved therapeutics although AA continue to have the highest rates of MM-C. Our data shows that utilization and cost of MM care have increased tremendously with resulting improved outcomes, but significant racial disparities persist. These disparities may be in part due to impaired access to new agents from lack of supplemental insurance for certain racial groups. Drug utilization and cost of care disparities may also be due to differences in co-morbidities, MM-C or access leading to differential healthcare utilization and should be explored in order to ameliorate disparities in outcomes.

Abstract Background: As of 2013, approximately 558,340 people are living with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Outcome disparities have been reported in lymphoid malignancies but a comprehensive analysis, especially with expanding ethnic minorities is necessary. We undertook a large Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) based analysis to describe outcome disparities in different subgroups of T-cell and B-cell NHL patients (pts), with a focus on various ethnicities. Methods: The SEER 18 Registry data (1973-2011) was utilized for pts with a confirmed diagnosis of T-cell or B-cell NHL. Cases that received a diagnosis at death certificate or autopsy, no follow-up records, no documented age at diagnosis, sex, or race/ethnicity were excluded. Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for gender, age, race, year (yr) of diagnosis, and stratified by SEER registries were used to evaluate association between pt characteristics and survival. All statistical tests were two-sided and utilized the SAS software (v9.4) with a two-sided significance level of 0.05. Results: The final analysis included 7,662 pts with T-cell NHL and 84,910 pts with B-cell NHL. The pt demographics are shown in Table 1. Pts were stratified based on yr of diagnosis to study the impact of therapeutic developments on pt outcomes (Table 1). Pts were also divided by T-cell NHL subtype: mature T-cell (9702/3) 51%, angioimmunoblastic T-cell (9705/3) 16%, anaplastic large cell (ALCL) (9714/3) 32%, and hepatosplenic gamma-delta cell (HSϒd) (9716/3) 0.8%. Median age at diagnosis was youngest for AA pts (54 yrs) and oldest for Asian pts (65 yrs) (Figure 1 A). Survival analysis revealed that females had a better median OS than males (3.3 yrs vs. 2.3 yrs, HR 0.876; 95% CI 0.824, 0.932; p<0.001). Increasing age was an independent predictor of worse overall survival, with pts age 18-44 having a median OS 9.4 yrs (HR 0.345; 95% CI 0.312, 0.382) and pts age ≥75 having a median OS of 1.0 yr (p<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference seen in median OS for pts with respect to yr of diagnosis (p=0.081). Among the different T-cell NHL subtypes, pts with ALCL had the best (3.8 yrs, HR 0.766; 95% CI 0.714, 0.822) and pts with HSϒd had the worst median OS (0.7 yrs HR 1.959; 95% CI 1.424, 2.695) (p<0.001). AA pts (1.7 yrs, HR 1.292; 95% CI 1.176, 1.419) and Hispanic pts (1.9 yrs, HR 1.215; 95% CI 1.087, 1.357) had significantly worse OS compared to White pts who had the longest median OS (3.1 yrs) (p<0.001) (Figure 1 B). To compare and contrast with aggressive B-cell NHL, similar analyses were performed using diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL) NHL (9680/3). DLBCL showed similar trends regarding sex, age and race. Ethnic minorities had significantly worse median OS including Hispanic (2.8 yrs, HR 1.154; 95% CI 1.111, 1.198) and AA pts (3.3 yrs, HR 1.261; 95% CI 1.212, 1.312) compared to White pts with a median OS of 5.8 yrs (p<0.001). B-cell NHL pts had a significant improvement in median OS over time with pts diagnosed in 2007-2011 having more than 3 times the median OS of pts diagnosed in 1973-1991 (7 yrs vs. 2.4 yrs; p<0.001). Conclusions: Studies of outcome disparities are important for evaluating disease characteristics and their relationship to specific pt populations over time. We have performed the largest population-based analysis for T-cell and B-cell NHL including various ethnicities in the novel therapeutic agent era. We observed that males, older pts and ethnic minorities had worse median OS for both T-cell and B-cell NHL. Despite novel therapeutics targeting T cells there has been no statistically significant improvement in OS over time. In contrast, significant improvement in B-cell NHL OS has been noted, presumably due to the advent of monoclonal antibodies. These results underline the urgency for the development of novel therapeutics as well as aggressive studies of disease biology and healthcare utilization for better triage of healthcare resources, especially for ethnic minorities.

Abstract Background: There is a significant variation in disease incidence and outcomes among Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients (pts) from different ethnic backgrounds. Currently, there is a paucity of data regarding the influence of demographics and ethnicity on behavioral patterns of pts, their attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge about MM and its treatment, which could in turn affect outcomes. We conducted a questionnaire-based study to examine behavioral patterns of MM pts, especially focusing on ethnic minorities and how this may impact patient awareness and symptom complex related to the disease and its treatment. Methods: Apaper-basedquestionnaire consisting of 61 questions encompassing four broad categories was provided to participating pts at the University of Southern California Medical Centers. These included demographics, disease/treatment related quality of life (QoL), satisfaction regarding treatment, and satisfaction regarding treating physician/healthcare staff. Information on clinical characteristics and MM-related treatment was collected through an IRB-approved protocol. Pts were stratified by age, gender, and ethnicity (Hispanics vs. Non-Hispanics). Any missing patient responses were withdrawn from the final analysis of that question. Categorical and continuous variables were compared among groups using Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests, respectively. All statistical analysis utilized SAS software (v9.3) with a two-sided significance level of 0.05. Results: A total of 89 pts (males: 40, females: 49) from March 2012 to October 2013 responded to the questionnaire of the 100 pts that were consented (81%). Median age was 59 (range: 23-81) years and 43 (48%) pts were Hispanic while 46 (52%) were Non-Hispanic. Baseline clinical characteristics are shown in Table 1A. As compared to Non-Hispanics, Hispanic pts were less likely to have completed college (70% vs. 30%, p<0.001), attend myeloma support groups (90% vs. 10%, p=0.026), feel they had sufficient disease/treatment-related information (72% vs. 22.5%, p<0.001). Hispanic pts were more likely to report being unemployed/without any income (57.5% vs. 9%, p<0.001), have 3-4 people living in the house (57.5% vs. 26 %, p=0.009), feeling ill (43% vs. 21%, p=0.029), have concern about deterioration in clinical condition (66% vs. 41%, p=0.022), and inability to work due to symptoms from MM or its treatment (38.6% vs. 11.9%, p=0.005) when compared to Non-Hispanics. With respect to MM treatment, Hispanic pts were less likely to report that side effects were as expected (34% vs. 57%, p=0.036) and believe that treating staff worked towards the same goal (88% vs. 100%, p=0.020) as them. Hispanic pts also reported a lower level of satisfaction with their doctor /treatment staff, as compared to Non-Hispanic pts and this difference was statistically significant as shown in Table 1B. Using gender as the stratification factor, we noted that female pts were more likely to report lack of energy (p=0.037), pain (p=0.010), satisfaction with discussion on emotional health (p=0.012) as compared to males. With age as the stratification factor, patients < 60 years of age were less likely to report expected effectiveness from treatment (p=0.031), satisfaction regarding appropriateness of treatment (p=0.008) or explanation of test results by their doctor (p=0.036), and were more likely to worry about deterioration in their condition (p=0.014). We did not find a statistically significant association between age, gender, or ethnicity and response to initial myeloma treatment. Conclusions: We found a significant association between MM patient ethnicity and the pts responses to questions pertaining to their QoL, satisfaction with treatment and treating physician. This difference in disease/treatment related knowledge and attitudes may be related to socio-cultural and behavioral patterns and may contribute to factors such as treatment compliance, effectiveness and symptom complex burden amongst others, that can impact outcomes among ethnic subgroups of MM pts. Efforts to mitigate these differences should focus on improving methods of patient education, spread more awareness among ethnic minorities, integration of psychosocial care into cancer therapy and promoting health psychology research.

Background: MM is associated with significant morbidity even at the time of presentation and there is ample data to support that MM treatment improves overall survival (OS) as well as quality of life (QoL) due to effective symptom control. Patient refusal to recommended cancer treatment is not common in clinical practice but has been reported in certain cancers. There is no data on characteristics of MM patients who refuse treatment despite physician recommendation and outcomes of such patients. Methods: We used the National Cancer Database (NCDB) from 2004-2015 to extract data on adult MM patients who refused any systemic therapy as part of their initial care despite physician recommendation. Information on patient age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, year of diagnosis, income, geographical location, comorbidities, systemic treatment, survival time and vital status was obtained. Average annual percent change (AAPC) and average percent change (APC) were calculated to analyze the trends, and periods with similar APC were compared for statistically significant changes by applying join point regression. Multivariate models were employed to identify factors predicting refusal to therapy and to assess its impact on OS. Results: Of 75,734 eligible patients who were recommended treatment for MM (chemotherapy and or immunotherapy), 2138 (2.8%) patients did not receive any treatment due to refusal. Significantly higher number of females, patients in older age groups (age groups 60-79 and ³ 80 years), Medicare recipients and with ≥2 comorbidities refused treatment recommendation. On multivariate analysis, advanced age groups 60-79 years (OR = 1.47; 95% CI 1.27-1.31 p&lt;0.001) and ³80 years (OR = 5.02; 95% CI 4.23-5.96, p&lt;0.001), female gender (OR =1.16 ; 95% CI 1.05-1.27, p&lt;0.001), patients with certain primary payor types including Medicaid (OR = 1.59; 95% CI 1.28-1.98, p&lt;0.001), Medicare (OR = 1.63; 95% CI 1.43-1.87, p&lt;0.001) and uninsured (OR = 1.81; 95% CI 1.38-2.38, p&lt;0.001), and presence of ³2 comorbidities (OR = 1.39; 95% CI 1.2-1.61, p&lt;0.001) were the independent factors associated with higher likelihood of refusing treatment. Whereas being seen at academic research programs (OR = 0.7; 95% CI 0.6-0.8, p&lt;0.001), higher education (OR =0.81 ; 95% CI 0.67-0.98, p=0.03), geographical location (Midwest OR =0.87 ; 95% CI 0.76-0.99, p=0.04), longer distance to facility being at 3rd quartile (10.1-26.2 miles: OR =0.78 ; 95% CI 0.68-0.89, p&lt;0.001) or 4th quartile (&gt;26.2 miles: OR = 0.59; 95% CI 0.51-0.68, p&lt;0.001) were associated with lower likelihood of refusing treatment. The overall rate of refusing treatment by MM patients was quite stable during 2004-2015 with an AAPC of 1.1 (95% CI -1.1-3.3 p=0.3). However, on fitting scatter plot into Joinpoint regression model, a concerning trend in the more recent years was noted. While the rate of refusing recommended treatment decreased during 2004-2008, a rising trend was observed during the period 2008-2015 with an APC of 3.8 (95% CI 1.3-6.4, p≤0.001) (Fig 1a). Patients who were recommended treatment but refused had significantly worse survival than those who received treatment (median survival 17.7 vs 52.9 months, Cox hazard ratio 1.21; CI 1.17-1.24, p&lt;0.001) (Fig 1b). Conclusions: The percentage of MM patients refusing any systemic treatment as a part of their initial care despite physician recommendation appears to be increasing in recent years and this needs to be systematically addressed. Disparities in refusal to recommended treatment are independently associated with several variables including age, gender, comorbidities, geographical location, facility and insurance type. These need to be addressed urgently since there are several effective and well-tolerated anti-MM treatments which can potentially benefit patients in case the initial socioeconomic, clinical and psychosocial barriers are overcome.

Background: Median age at diagnosis for MM is 69 years with approximately 33% of the newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients aged ≥80 years (elderly). Yet, outcomes data and clinical trial participation in elderly MM patients are limited due to frailty and frequent comorbidities. Moreover, elderly patients are not candidates for stem cell transplant (SCT) and age is an independent poor prognostic marker, leading to disparate outcomes. The present study evaluated trends in outcomes and predictors of survival among elderly NDMM patients in the United States (U.S.). Methods: Using Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database, we extracted data on age, gender, geographical regions, year of diagnosis, and vital status for elderly patients (age ≥ 80 years) with MM from 1975 to 2016. Relative survival (RS) was estimated as the ratio of observed survival to the survival expected in the general population in the absence of malignancy. This adjusted for the competing causes of mortality prevalent in elderly patients. Mortality rates were age-adjusted. To estimate trends in mortality, we estimated annual percentage change (APC) and average annual percentage change (AAPC) by fitting the data in the join point regression model using the NCI's Join point Regression Program, Version 4.5.0.1. A multivariate analysis was conducted to analyze the predictors of overall and myeloma-specific mortality among elderly patients fitting into Cox proportion hazard regression model. Results: A total of 17,265 elderly MM patients were eligible for the study. Majority were females (n=9,487, 55%), were non-Hispanic whites (NHW) (n=12,895, 74.7%) and were diagnosed in the Western region of the U.S. (n=8,541, 49.5%). The median age was 84 years (IQR 81-87). The median RS for the whole period (1975-2016) was 19.8 months with 1- and 5- year RS of 60.1% (95%CI: 58.8-61.3) and 20.9% (95%CI: 19.5-22.3) respectively. The median RS increased from 8.45 months in 1975 to 29.86 months in 2013. One and 5- year RS also increased from 42.7% (95%CI: 32.4-52.5) and 12.9% (95%CI: 5.8-22.7) in 1975 to a 1- and 5-year RS of 72.3% (95%CI: 65.4-78.1) and 31.1% (95%CI: 23.4-39.1) in 2013, respectively (Fig.1). However, the age standardized mortality rate for the whole period showed an increasing trend with an AAPC of 2.3 (0.5-4, P<0.001). On fitting joinpoint regression, 2 distinct joinpoints were identified, calendar years 1977 and 1989 (Fig 2). Most of the increase in mortality rate was noted in the period 1975-1989. Since 1989, the mortality rates have shown a decreasing trend which is marginal but statistically significant, with an APC of -0.41 (95%CI: -0.7- -0.1, p<0.001). On multivariate analysis, increasing age (p<0.001) and non-northeast location (p<0.01) were associated with higher overall and MM-specific mortality. Female gender was associated with lower overall mortality (p<0.001) but not myeloma-specific mortality. While "other" race/ethnicity (not NHW, non-Hispanic black; NHB or Hispanic) was associated with lower risk of overall and myeloma-specific mortality, NHB were associated with a lower MM-specific (p<0.001) but not overall mortality. Conclusions: Our results suggest that although RS has improved significantly in the elderly patients, the mortality rates have not changed drastically over the years. Besides, factors like advancement in diagnosis and treatment which have improved RS, early diagnosis (leading to lead time bias) may also be contributing. Furthermore, there are several gender-specific, geographic and racial/ethnic disparities in outcomes of elderly MM patients, which need to be assessed prospectively. Although, a small decline in mortality rates in the more recent time is promising, further studies are warranted on interventions including aggressive supportive care directed at elderly patients with MM, so that MM survivorship can be improved. There should be strong consideration to increaseenrollment of the elderly in prospective clinical trials so that evidence-based guidelines can be developed.

Background: The development of novel treatment strategies has extended the median survival of MM to nearly a decade but the disease remains incurable and relapse is inevitable. The Bcl-2 pathway is highly relevant to MM cell survival and can be mitigated therapeutically. AT-101 is a novel, orally available pan Bcl-2 inhibitor (Bcl-2, Bcl-xl, Mcl-1, and Bcl-w). Preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies showed that AT-101 enhanced cytotoxicity of lenalidomide-dexamethasone (Rd). We conducted a phase I study in RRMM patients to establish the effective dose of AT-101 with Ld as well as record safety and preliminary efficacy of this combination (NCT02697344). Methods: Key eligibility criteria included: RRMM with measurable disease (serum monoclonal protein ≥1.0 g/dL or urine monoclonal protein >200mg/24 hour or serum immunoglobulin free light chain >10mg/dL AND abnormal serum free light chain ratio). Patients must have received 1-3 prior treatment regimens and have an absolute neutrophil count ≥1.0 x 109, platelets 75 x 109, creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min, and ECOG performance status ≤2. AT-101 dosing was designed to reach a maximum daily target of 20mg (Cohort 1; 10 mg PO QD, Cohort 2; 20 mg PO QD) utilizing a standard 3 +3 dose escalation design in combination with standard doses of Rd. Treatment was given as outpatient for a maximum of 12, 28-day cycles. For pharmacodynamic studies, AT-101 alone was given in cycle 1, with R (25 mg on days 1-21) and d (40 mg weekly) added cycle 2 onwards. Results: Enrolled patients (n=10) included 60% males with median age 68.5 years (range 55-75) and median time since MM diagnosis 4.5 years (range 0.6-8.3). MM ISS stage was II/III in 7 patients and 8/10 had high-risk cytogenetics with 4 each having del17p and 1q+. Only 1 patient had t(11;14).Patients had received median 2 prior lines of therapy (range 1-3), with 7 having had prior autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) and the initial induction regimen being bortezomib (V), R and dexamethasone (d) (VRd) in 8, Rd in 1 and cyclophosphamide (C) with Vd (VCd) in 1 patient. At the time of study entry, 3 patients were R refractory while 2 were refractory to both, V and daratumumab (Dara). Median duration of treatment was 7.5 cycles (range 2-12) and 3 patients completed all planned 12 cycles of treatment. Among the evaluable patients, dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) at 20 mg daily dose of AT-101 with 25 mg of R and 40 mg weekly included one patient with grade 4 febrile neutropenia and grade 4 neutropenia lasting 9 days and one patient with grade 4 thrombocytopenia lasting 8 days. G3/4 adverse events (AEs) included atrial flutter (n=1), white blood cell count decrease (n=3), neutropenia (n=5), febrile neutropenia (n=1) and thrombocytopenia (n=2), and back pain (n=1) . No G3/4 non-hematological AEs were noted. Any grade non-hematologic AEs seen in at least 20% (n=2) patients included fatigue (n=9), neuropathy (n=6), nausea (n=3), diarrhea (n=5), constipation (n=3), and creatinine increased (n=2). No patients experienced tumor lysis syndrome. Overall response rate (ORR) was 44% (2 each with very good partial response, VGPR and PR) and clinical benefit rate (CBR) was 89% with 2 additional patients showing minor response (MR) and 2 experiencing stable disease (SD) (Fig 1). Patients with high-risk disease had an ORR of 43% and a CBR of 100%. Median progression-free survival (PFS) for all patients was 8.1 months. Correlative analysis from patients who showed an objective response to treatment revealed a significant increase in bone marrow Th-effector cells, NK cells and cytotoxic CD8+ T-cells along with a significant decrease in immunosuppressive T-regulatory and B-regulatory cells was noted after 1 complete cycle of the combination therapy (p<0.05, Fig 2). Conclusions: This is the first reported clinical trial combining a Bcl-2 inhibitor with immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) in MM. AT-101-Rd is a clinically active regimen with an ORR of 40% in predominantly high-risk RRMM patients with an acceptable toxicity profile. Additional patients with MM experienced clinical benefit despite refractory status to prior therapy in this early phase clinical trial. These early findings support the further investigation of AT-101 specifically, and Bcl-2 inhibitors in general, with IMiDs in patients with MM.

Background: The 2018 iwCLL guidelines recommend close observation of early stage CLL pts who do not meet indications for therapy ("watch and wait" strategy). Prior attempts at early therapeutic intervention in unselected early-stage CLL pts using alkylating agents such as chlorambucil and chemoimmunotherapy failed to show a significant benefit; and these therapies were associated with substantial toxicities. The introduction of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors has revolutionized the treatment landscape of CLL. The German CLL Study group recently presented results of the CLL12 study which demonstrated a significant improvement in event-free survival (EFS) among untreated early stage high risk CLL pts who received ibrutinib compared to placebo (median EFS not reached vs. 47.8 months, respectively; Langerbeins, EHA, 2019). Acalabrutinib is a more selective second-generation BTK inhibitor that has fewer adverse events in pts with CLL, and has shown equally impressive clinical activity for CLL pts. We are conducting an investigator initiated randomized phase 2 study to compare acalabrutinib with or without obinutuzumab (a glycoengineered anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody approved in the treatment of CLL) among high risk early stage CLL pts. Study Design: All pts with newly diagnosed (<2 years from registration) previously untreated early stage CLL who do not meet the 2018 iwCLL guidelines for initiation of therapy are eligible for enrollment in this study. Pts undergo risk stratification according to the CLL-International prognostic index (CLL-IPI) which consists of the following 5 variables: age >65 years (1 point), Rai stage I-IV (1 point), del17p and/or TP53 mutation (4 points), unmutated immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGHV) genes (2 points), and serum β2-microglobulin >3.5 g/dL (2 points). Pts with high (4-6) and very high (7-10) risk CLL-IPI are randomly (1:1) assigned to acalabrutinib 100 mg orally twice daily (Arm A) or acalabrutinib with obinutuzumab at a standard approved schedule (Arm B). Treatment with acalabrutinib is continued for a minimum of 2 years unless the patient has unacceptable side effects or withdraws consent. Pts with low (0-1) and intermediate (2-3) risk CLL-IPI score are assigned to an observation arm with follow-up once every 6 months for 2 years, and then according to routine clinical practice (Arm C). Endpoints: The primary endpoint of the intervention arms (Arms A and B) is the achievement of minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative complete remission in the bone marrow after 2 years of therapy. MRD is assessed using an 8-color flow cytometry with a detection limit of 0.01%. The primary endpoint of the observation arm (Arm C) is time to first therapy. Secondary endpoints for all arms are: progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety. Statistical design: A randomized trial comparing the experimental arm (acalabrutinib plus obinutuzumab) against the control arm (acalabrutinib alone) will be conducted as described by Rubinstein. A sample size of 36 pts per arm provides 80% power to detect an improvement in MRD-negative complete response rate from 10% to 30%, using a one-sided test at a significance level of 0.10 (EAST 6.4). We anticipate accruing an additional 8 high/very high risk pts (4 in each arm) to account for ineligibility, cancellation, or major treatment violation. The total enrollment for Arms A and B will be 80 pts. We will enroll 40 pts to Arm C; for a total enrollment of 120 pts. Key correlatives: Comprehensive profiling to assess the innate and adaptive immune system in paired peripheral blood and bone marrow will be conducted in all pts registered to Arms A and B at baseline, 12 and 24 months after enrollment. In addition, bone marrow hematopoietic function will be assessed in all pts at these time points. We will employ a CLL focused custom 61-gene panel to estimate tumor mutational burden as well as mutational profiles for each patient at baseline, 12, and 24 month time points, as well at the time of disease progression. Preliminary results: The trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov NCT03516617. The trial opened to accrual at all three Mayo Clinic sites (Rochester, MN; Jacksonville, FL; and Scottsdale, AZ) in September 2018. Twenty-eight pts have been registered; the baseline characteristics are shown in Table 1. The trial is expected to complete enrollment in September 2020; and the primary analysis will be available in September 2022.

Introduction: Patients (pts) with relapsed or refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who failed treatment with the Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) ibrutinib have a poor outcome and are difficult to treat. This ongoing, two-cohort, Phase II trial evaluates the safety and preliminary efficacy of tafasitamab (MOR208), an Fc-enhanced anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody in combination with idelalisib (IDE) (Cohort A) or venetoclax (VEN) (Cohort B) in R/R CLL pts previously treated with a BTKi. Preliminary results were published at EHA 2018 for Cohort A and at ASH 2018 for Cohort B. Here, we report the results of the primary analysis for both cohorts. Methods and Patients: Pts who either progressed or were intolerant to BTKi were enrolled at 12 sites in six countries in Europe and the US from Nov 2016 to Apr 2018. The primary endpoint is the incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs); secondary endpoints include overall response rate (ORR) as per investigator assessment according to International Workshop on CLL (IWCLL) 2008 guidelines. Complete response (CR) was confirmed by computed tomography assessment and by bone marrow (BM) biopsy. The exploratory endpoint minimal residual disease (MRD) was assessed centrally by quantitative allele-specific oligonucleotide-polymerase chain reaction (ASO-PCR) in peripheral blood (PB) and BM. Each treatment cycle (C) lasts 28 days (D). Dose and administration: tafasitamab intravenous infusion, 12 mg/kg weekly in C1-C3, every other week in C4-C6 and monthly from C7D1; IDE orally, 150 mg twice daily; VEN orally, weekly ramp up starting on C1D8 at 20 mg to full daily dose of 400 mg. Patients: mean time since first CLL diagnosis was 135 months (mos) for pts in Cohort A and 105 mos in Cohort B. Median number of prior therapy lines was five (2-9) and three (1-5), respectively. All pts had received ibrutinib; one pt had subsequent acalabrutinib treatment as last prior therapy line. Mutations of BTK and PLCγ2 were assessed in nine pts in Cohort A and 13 pts in Cohort B. BTK/PLCγ2 mutations were centrally detected in 4/3 pts in Cohort A and in 2/3 pts in Cohort B, respectively. Complex karyotype was observed in six (54.5%) pts in Cohort A and 12 (92.3%) pts in Cohort B. Results with a data cut-off date of 9 Nov 2018 are presented. Results: Cohort A: Median time on study was 9.9 mos (95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.7-not reached). Eleven pts were enrolled and received tafasitamab and IDE. Two pts discontinued treatment due to AEs (aspartate-aminotransferase increased; acute pancreatitis), two due to progressive disease (PD) and one pt by physician's decision. One pt died due to PD and one pt due to cardiac failure. At the cut-off date, treatment was ongoing in four pts. Table 1 summarizes treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) with neutropenia Grade ≥3 being most common (5 [46%]). Fourteen treatment-emergent serious AEs (SAEs) were reported in eight (72.7%) pts. ORR was 90.9% (CR=9.1%, partial response [PR]=81.8%), disease control was achieved in all 11 pts. One of eight pts (12.5%) assessed for MRD status reached MRD-negativity in PB at C14. Cohort B: Median time on study was 12 mos (95% CI: 2.8-not reached). Eleven of 13 enrolled pts received tafasitamab and VEN while two pts received tafasitamab only. Three pts discontinued treatment due to AEs (infusion-related reactions [two pts], diarrhea [one pt], one due to PD and one withdrew consent. At the cut-off date, treatment was ongoing in eight patients. Table 2 summarizes TEAEs, neutropenia Grade ≥3 was most commonly observed (six [46%] pts). Fourteen SAEs were reported in nine (69.2%) pts. The ORR in all 13 pts was 76.9% (CR=23.1%, PR=53.8%, not evaluable=23.1%). Six of seven pts assessed for MRD in PB (46.2% of 13 [100%] pts) reached negative status in PB by C7 at the latest. One of three pts assessed for MRD in BM (7.7% of 13 [100%] pts) reached MRD negative status in BM at C15. Conclusions: This trial demonstrates that in heavily pretreated pts with R/R CLL who failed prior BTKi, tafasitamab in combination with IDE or VEN is a potential therapeutic option. The safety profiles of the combinations are influenced by the combination partner, but both combinations are manageable. The response rates and MRD-negativity rates indicate that combinations of targeted agents with anti-CD19 tafasitamab have valuable antitumor activity and warrant further investigation of tafasitamab-based combinations in CLL.

Background: Combinations of alkylating agents with proteasome inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy in newly diagnosed and relapsed multiple myeloma (MM), with melphalan or cyclophosphamide combinations being some of the commonly used regimens for initial treatment of MM. Ixazomib (Ixa) is an oral proteasome inhibitor that is approved for use in combination with lenalidomide for patients with relapsed MM. We examined if Ixa can be effectively combined with cyclophosphamide (Ctx) in order to develop a less expensive, all oral regimen for patients with relapsed MM. Patients and Methods: Patients with relapsed MM, who were proteasome inhibitor naïve OR have received less than 6 cycles of therapy with bortezomib and had a better than PR with no progression at the time of discontinuation, were enrolled. The primary objective was to determine overall response rate (ORR). Treatment consisted of Ixa 4mg PO days 1, 8, 15; Ctx 300 mg/m2 PO days 1, 8, 15, 22 and dexamethasone (Dex) 40 mg PO weekly in a 28-day cycle. Overall, 37 patients were accrued; data on 33 eligible patients were available for analysis as of July 18, 2019. Results: The median age was 71 (48-89), 61% were male and the median duration from diagnosis was 46 months (mos). Median number of prior lines of therapy was 4 (range 1-5), 76%, 42% and 67% respectively had a prior IMiD, proteasome inhibitor or stem cell transplant, respectively. At data cutoff, 22 (67%) had progressed, 4 (12%) had died and the median follow up of those alive was 21.3 mos. Fourteen patients are still receiving treatment, with median of 8.5 cycles. Most common reason for treatment discontinuation was disease progression (10 pts; 53%). The ORR was 60% including 6% CR and 24% VGPR. The median event free survival was 11.3 mos (95%CI: 9.0 - 26.8). Overall, 401 cycles have been administered across the study, with dose modifications/ hold required for Ixa, Ctx, and Dex in 9 (27%), 14 (42%), and 22 (67%) patients respectively, the most common reason being hematologic toxicity. A grade 3 or higher adverse event at least possibly attributed to the study drugs was seen in 77% of patients, hematologic in 67% and non-hematologic in 30%. (Table 1) The most commonly observed hematologic toxicities included thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, lymphopenia and anemia; for non-hematologic was nausea, diarrhea, peripheral neuropathy toxicity and fatigue. Conclusions: The combination of Ixa, Ctx and Dex (ICd) offers a convenient, all oral regimen for treatment of relapsed disease not refractory to proteasome inhibitors. The regimen has good efficacy in this group f heavily pretreated patients, with an acceptable toxicity profile. Disclosures Lacy: Celgene: Research Funding.

Background: Ibrutinib (ibr) is a small-molecular inhibitor of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK), active in the treatment of various B-cell malignancies. B-cell receptor signaling blockade by BTK inhibition using ibr down regulates IRF4 (survival transcription factor) which is down regulated by lenalidomide (R) as well, suggesting possible synergistic effect on cell death. Higher doses of ibr (560-840 mg daily) have been used in combination regimens for MM with no significant dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) but the combination of ibr and len has not been previously tested. We present safety and preliminary efficacy of the combination ibr, R, and dexamethasone (d) in RRMM patients. Methods: This is a phase I dose escalation study (NCT03015792) of 28-day cycles of ibr (420 mg daily, 560 mg daily, 700 mg daily or 840 mg daily) days 1-28 in combination with R 25 mg PO days 1-21, and d 40 mg PO weekly utilizing a 3+3 dose-escalation design. Eligible RRMM patients had progression after ≥2 prior lines of treatment, measurable disease as per International Myeloma Working Group criteria, ECOG performance status ≤2, adequate bone marrow (BM) (absolute neutrophil count ≥1.0 x 109, platelets ≥50,000 cells/mm3 for patients with BM plasmacytosis <50% or ≥30,000 cells/mm3 for patients with BM plasmacytosis ≥50%), kidney (creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min), and liver function [total bilirubin ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase ≤3 x ULN], and PT/INR ≤1.5 X ULN. Treatment was to be continued till progressive disease (PD) or any unacceptable toxicity. The primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ibr+Rd in RRMM and secondary objective was to evaluate safety profile of this regimen. Results: As of July 26 2019, 18 patients had been enrolled in the trial. Three patients had to be replaced (2 at 700 mg cohort, 1 each due to withdrawal and ineligibility, and 1 at 840 mg due to withdrawal). Median age of all patients was 67 years (range 49-79) with 9 of the 15 evaluable patients being females. Evaluable patients as per ibr dose level included 3 at 420 mg, 3 at 560 mg, 3 at 700 mg, and 6 at 840 mg. Four out of 15 patients had high-risk cytogenetics. Median prior lines of treatment were 4 (range 2-13) and prior treatments included bortezomib in 87% (n=13), carfilzomib in 47% (n=7), ixazomib in 47% (n=7), lenalidomide in 87% (n=13), pomalidomide in 40% (n=6), thalidomide in 40% (n=6), daratumumab in 60% (n=9), and stem cell transplant in 53% (n=8). High risk cytogenetics [del 17p, t(4;14), t(14;16), t(14;20)] were noted in 4 of the 15 evaluable patients (27%). Median follow up for alive patients was 8.6 months (range 1.1-25.1 months) and the median number of treatment cycles was 2 (range 1-5). Most common reason for treatment discontinuation was PD (40%) followed by adverse events (AEs) (26.7%). Only 1 DLT possibly related to ibr was a grade 3 rash at the 840 mg dose. Grade 3/4 AEs at least possibly related to study treatment included anemia (n=3), thrombocytopenia (n=3), neutropenia (n=3), leucopenia (n=3), lymphopenia (n=2), febrile neutropenia (n=1), and rash (n=2). Overall, the most common all grade AEs included anemia (n=12), thrombocytopenia (n=10), fatigue (n=10), neutropenia (n=8), leucopenia (n=5), and diarrhea (n=5). (Figure 1) No treatment-related deaths were noted. Overall response rate (ORR) was 7% with partial response (PR) noted in 1 patient. Additionally, 1 patient achieved a minor response (MR) and 10 patients had stable disease (SD) for a clinical benefit rate (CBR) of 80%. (Figure 2) PD was noted in 1 patient and 2 patients did not get response assessment. Ibr 840 mg (daily) with R 25 mg (days 1-21) and d 40 mg weekly was considered the MTD of this regimen. The median progression-free survival (PFS) for the 15 evaluable patients was 4.5 months (95% CI: 1.8-not reached). Conclusions: We report the first phase 1 trial of combining a BTK inhibitor with Rd in RRMM patients. MTD of ibr was determined as 840 mg (daily) in combination with R 25 mg (days 1-21) and d 40 mg weekly. This dose of ibr is consistent with some other trials showing the benefit of a higher dose of ibr in various regimens for treatment of B-cell malignancies. We noted this regimen to be well-tolerated without much high-grade AEs. Disease stabilization was noted in majority of patients. These data lay the basis for a larger trial in a more uniform cohort of patients to better define the efficacy of this regimen.
