Abstract CT402: A phase I study of inotuzumab ozogamicin (IO) in combination with temsirolimus (T) in patients (pts) with relapsed or refractory (R/R) CD22-positive (pos) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL)

Background: IO, an anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody conjugated to the chemotherapy agent calicheamicin and T, an mTOR inhibitor, have single agent activity in B-cell NHL. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability, recommended phase II dose and preliminar antitumor activity of their combination.

Materials and methods: Patients with CD22pos, R/R B-cell NHL, with no limits on previous treatments are eligible. Initial study design consisted of treatment with IO on day(d) 1 in combination with weekly T, in cycles q28d.

Results: To date, 10 pts have been screened and 5 CD22pos pts have been entered in dose levels 1 and -1. Demographics: median age 60 (range 40-75), F:M= 1:4, ECOG 0:1= 1:4, lymphoma subtype: diffuse large B-cell=2, follicular=2, mantle cell=1, median number of previous systemic treatments 4.6 (range 2-9). Patients received a total of 10 cycles of the combination with a median of 2 cycles (range 1-3). Adverse events (AE) of grade 3 or higher of at least possible attribution to the study treatment were neutropenia (3pts), thrombocytopenia (4pts), epistaxis (1pt), AST/ALT increase (1pt), macular rash (1pt), suspected capillary leak syndrome (1pt), abdominal pain (1pt), hypophosphatemia (2pts), hypertriglyceridemia (1pt), hypokalemia (1pt). Dosing limited toxicities (DLT) consisted in thrombocytopenia, hypertriclyceridemia and inability to receive at least 3 doses of T during cycle 1. Four patients were evaluable for response: 1 partial remission (PR) and 3 stable disease (SD) were observed after 2 cycles of treatment.

Conclusion: A weekly administration of T in combination with IO on d1 is not feasible due to toxicities. Clinical activity has been observed in heavily pretreated patients not responding to standard treatments. An alternative treatment schedule without dose escalation of IO given on d1 and escalating T doses given 3/4 weeks will be evaluated.
