Mitazalimab is an agonistic human monoclonal antibody targeting CD40, a target for anti-tumor immunotherapy. This phase 1, dose-escalation study evaluated the safety, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of mitazalimab. Adults with advanced solid malignancies received mitazalimab intravenously once every-2-weeks.

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated the effectiveness of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with lymphoma undergoing treatment with ibrutinib and nivolumab, focusing on its use for mutation profiling and monitoring tumor response.
  • In a trial involving 67 patients, TP53 mutations were linked to shorter progression-free survival, while about 28.6% of patients showed a significant reduction in ctDNA levels after two treatment cycles, indicating a better response to therapy.
  • The research demonstrated that ctDNA can be a valuable tool for tracking lymphoma treatment progress and resistance, with clonal evolution and new mutations identified during treatment.

We analyzed potential biomarkers of response to ibrutinib plus nivolumab in biopsies from patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and Richter's transformation (RT) from the LYM1002 phase I/IIa study, using programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry, whole exome sequencing (WES), and gene expression profiling (GEP). In DLBCL, PD-L1 elevation was more frequent in responders versus nonresponders (5/8 [62.5%] vs.

Introduction: This unplanned post-hoc analysis was based on data from the phase Ib DBL1002 study (NCT01569750) and evaluated the association between molecular biomarkers and clinical response to combined treatment with ibrutinib plus rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) subtypes.

Methods: DLBCL subtyping was conducted using immunohistochemistry. Next-generation sequencing using immunoglobulin H primers assessed minimal residual disease (MRD).

Background: Preclinical studies have shown synergistic antitumour effects between ibrutinib and immune-checkpoint blockade. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and activity of ibrutinib in combination with nivolumab in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignant diseases.

Methods: We did a two-part, open-label, phase 1/2a study at 21 hospitals in Australia, Israel, Poland, Spain, Turkey, and the USA.

The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of quisinostat + bortezomib + dexamethasone in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma was evaluated in a phase-1b, open-label, multicenter, '3 + 3' dose-escalation study. Patients received escalating doses of oral quisinostat (6 mg [n = 3], 8 mg [n = 3], 10 mg [n = 6], and 12 mg [n = 6] on days 1, 3, and 5/week) plus subcutaneous bortezomib (1.3 mg/m(2)) and oral dexamethasone (20 mg) in cycles of 21 (cycles 1-8) or 35 d (cycles 9-11) until MTD was determined.

Background: Present first-line therapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, a subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP). Ibrutinib, a novel oral Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has shown single-drug activity in relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies. We investigated the safety and efficacy of ibrutinib in combination with R-CHOP for patients with previously untreated CD20-positive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Purpose: To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicities (DLT), and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of quisinostat, a novel hydroxamate, pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi).

Experimental Design: In this first-in-human phase I study, quisinostat was administered orally, once daily in three weekly cycles to patients with advanced malignancies, using a two-stage accelerated titration design. Three intermittent schedules were subsequently explored: four days on/three days off; every Monday, Wednesday, Friday (MWF); and every Monday and Thursday (M-Th).
