Background: Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is the third most common lymphoma in Western countries, accounting for 8-12% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (Delinger NM. Cancer Manag Res. 2018;10:315-24). MZL is categorized into nodal, extranodal, and splenic subtypes. While the relative 5-year survival rate for patients (pts) with MZL is 84.4% (Olszewski AJ, Castillo JJ. Cancer. 2013;119:629-38), pts often experience relapse or refractory (R/R) disease. Parsaclisib is a potent, highly selective, next-generation inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)δ. Here we report results of the primary analysis of the cohort of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor (BTKi)-naive pts with R/R MZL treated with parsaclisib monotherapy in the open-label, phase 2 study CITADEL-204 (NCT03144674, EudraCT 2017-000970-12).

Methods: Pts ≥18 years of age, with histologically confirmed MZL, prior receipt of ≥1 line of systemic therapy including anti-CD20 treatment, and either disease progression or inadequate response to most recent regimen were eligible. Pts had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) ≤2, radiologically measurable lymphadenopathy, lymphoid malignancy (extranodal), or histologically confirmed bone marrow infiltration (splenic). The study enrolled 2 cohorts: pts who received prior treatment with ibrutinib (cohort 1, N=10) or pts naive to BTKi therapy (cohort 2, N=100). Only data from cohort 2 are presented in this abstract. Pts were allocated to receive parsaclisib 20 mg once daily (QD) for 8 weeks followed by either 20 mg once weekly (weekly-dosing group [WG]) or 2.5 mg QD (daily-dosing group [DG]). Pts received prophylaxis for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia during the study. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by an independent review committee (IRC); secondary endpoints were duration of response (DOR), complete response rate (CRR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety and tolerability. All radiology-based endpoints were evaluated by an IRC.

Results: At data cutoff for the primary analysis (Jan 15, 2021), 100 pts with MZL enrolled in cohort 2 (nodal 31.0%, extranodal 34.0%, and splenic 35.0%) had been treated (WG, N=28; DG, N=72). Median (range) age was 71.0 (35-95) years, 53.0% were male, and 95.0% had ECOG PS ≤1. 49.0% of pts had received 1 line, 31.0% received 2 lines, and 20.0% received ≥3 lines of prior systemic therapy (median [range], 2.0 [1-8]); 46.0% of pts had relapsed disease and 49.0% were refractory to their most recent prior therapy. 65.0% of pts had discontinued treatment, primarily due to adverse events (29.0%) or progressive disease (28.0%). The median (range) duration of treatment and follow-up from first dose to data cutoff were 13.4 (0.4-30.9) and 22.8 (11.9-37.0) months for all pts (N=100), and 11.6 (0.4-30.9) and 21.0 (11.9-37.0) months for the DG (N=72), respectively. The ORR (95% CI) was 58.0% (47.7-67.8) for all pts and 58.3% (46.1-69.8) for the DG (Table 1); CRR (95% CI) was 6.0% (2.2-12.6) for all pts and 4.2% (0.9-11.7) for the DG. Among all treated pts who achieved complete or partial response, 65.5% of responses occurred at the first disease assessment (median time to response, 8.1 weeks); median DOR (95% CI) was 12.2 (8.1-17.5) months for all pts and the DG. Median PFS (95% CI) was 16.5 (13.5-19.6) and 16.5 (11.5-20.6) months for all pts and the DG, respectively. Median OS was not reached.

Among 100 pts treated in cohort 2, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 96.0% of pts (grade ≥3 in 63.0%). The most common TEAEs were diarrhea (47.0%) and cough (23.0%), and the most common grade ≥3 TEAEs included diarrhea (12.0%), neutropenia and pneumonia (9.0% each), and colitis (7.0%). TEAEs leading to dose interruption or dose reduction occurred in 56.0% and 16.0% of pts, respectively. TEAEs led to treatment discontinuation in 29.0% of pts, the most common were diarrhea (9.0%) and colitis (5.0%). Serious TEAEs were experienced by 47.0% of pts overall, the most common was pneumonia (9.0%). 6.0% of pts experienced fatal TEAEs including febrile neutropenia and sepsis (1 pt each) that were considered treatment-related.

Conclusion: Pts with R/R MZL demonstrated a rapid and durable clinical response to parsaclisib monotherapy. Treatment was generally well tolerated, and the safety profile was manageable. Results suggest parsaclisib may be a potential treatment option for R/R MZL.
