Efficacy and Safety Exposure-Response Analysis of Loncastuximab Tesirine in Patients with B cell non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

We developed an integrated population pharmacokinetic model to investigate loncastuximab tesirine pharmacokinetics (PK) and exposure-response relationships for relapsed/refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The model, based on the recommended dosing schedule (150 µg/kg every 3 weeks [Q3W] for 2 cycles; 75 µg/kg Q3W thereafter) and drug concentrations in phase 1 and 2 studies (DLBCL [n = 284], non-DLBCL [n = 44]), was used to characterize loncastuximab tesirine PK and evaluate exposure covariates. Relationships between exposure (pyrrolobenzodiazepine-conjugated antibody [cAb] cycle 1 average concentration) and (1) efficacy (including overall response rate [ORR; primary endpoint] and overall survival [OS]) and (2) grade ≥ 2 treatment-emergent adverse events were explored.

Health-Related Quality of Life, Symptoms, and Tolerability of Loncastuximab Tesirine in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

Background: Loncastuximab tesirine has shown antitumor activity with an acceptable toxicity profile in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who were relapsed or refractory after ≥2 prior therapies, including activity in patients with high-risk disease characteristics. This analysis examined health-related quality of life (HRQoL), symptoms, and tolerability in patients receiving loncastuximab tesirine for relapsed or refractory DLBCL.

Patients And Methods: The single-arm, open-label phase II LOTIS-2 study (ADCT-402-201; NCT03589469) enrolled 145 patients aged ≥18 years.

Loncastuximab tesirine in relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (LOTIS-2): a multicentre, open-label, single-arm, phase 2 trial.

Background: Patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who do not respond to or who have progressive disease after salvage therapies have a poor prognosis. Loncastuximab tesirine is a CD19-directed antibody-drug conjugate with encouraging phase 1 single-agent antitumour activity and acceptable safety in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We aimed to evaluate the antitumour activity and safety of loncastuximab tesirine in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL.

Final results of a phase 1 study of loncastuximab tesirine in relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The prognosis for patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) remains poor, with a need for alternatives to current salvage therapies. Loncastuximab tesirine (ADCT-402) is an antibody-drug conjugate comprising a humanized anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody conjugated to a pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer toxin. Presented here are final results of a phase 1 dose-escalation and dose-expansion study in patients with R/R B-NHL.

Loncastuximab tesirine, an anti-CD19 antibody-drug conjugate, in relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Relapsed or refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) remains a therapeutic challenge. Loncastuximab tesirine is an antibody-drug conjugate against CD19, an antigen expressed in many B-cell malignancies. This open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation, dose-expansion study assessed the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PKs), immunogenicity, and preliminary clinical activity of loncastuximab tesirine in adults with R/R B-ALL.

A Phase I Study of ADCT-402 (Loncastuximab Tesirine), a Novel Pyrrolobenzodiazepine-Based Antibody-Drug Conjugate, in Relapsed/Refractory B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Purpose: ADCT-402 (loncastuximab tesirine) is an antibody-drug conjugate comprising a CD19-targeting antibody and pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimers. A first-in-human study evaluated the safety and preliminary clinical activity of loncastuximab tesirine in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

Patients And Methods: A multicenter, phase I, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study enrolled patients ages ≥18 years with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell NHL.

Epstein Barr virus induced lymphoma in a child with IPEX syndrome.

IPEX syndrome (immune deficiency, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked) is a disorder or regulatory T cell (Treg) function which can result in early death due to infection or complications related to autoimmunity. Therapeutic options for these patients can include allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) or the use of immunosuppressive regimens to control the manifestations of autoimmunity. We report a patient with IPEX syndrome who was managed with rapamycin and subsequently developed EBV induced lymphoma.

Children are not small adults: documentation of assent for research involving children.

Obtaining assent is an important part of research involving children, both from an ethical and regulatory perspective. Current practice for documenting assent is derived largely from documentation of informed consent for adults as there is little guidance in federal regulations. We propose a new approach to documenting assent.

Synovial chondromatosis of the subtalar joint and tenosynovial chondromatosis of the posterior ankle.

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare, generally benign condition characterized by the formation of multiple cartilaginous nodules in the synovium of joints and occasionally on the tendon sheath or bursae. If the nodules are intra-articular, the condition is referred to as synovial chondromatosis; if extra-articular, tenosynovial chondromatosis. This space-occupying lesion can lead to chronic pain and limit the function of involved joints.
