Abstract
Background: R/R FL is an incurable disease and outcomes worsen with successive relapses. A high unmet need remains for therapies that improve tumor control and extend survival after relapse. Odronextamab, an off-the-shelf CD20×CD3 bispecific antibody, demonstrated compelling efficacy, generally manageable safety, and maintenance of pt-reported overall quality of life scores from baseline in an interim analysis of the ELM-2 study (NCT03888105) in heavily pretreated pts with R/R FL (Villasboas et al. ASH 2023). Here, for the first time, we present the primary analysis of R/R FL in ELM-2.
Methods: IV odronextamab was administered in 21-day cycles (C) until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity. Steroid prophylaxis and step-up dosing (0.7/4/20 mg) were used in C1 to mitigate the risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), followed by 80 mg on Days (D) 1, 8, and 15 of C2-4. Maintenance dosing continued at 160 mg Q2W, or Q4W if complete response (CR) was durable for 9 months (mo). Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) per Lugano criteria by independent central review (ICR). Secondary endpoints included CR rate, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Primary analysis was performed when 128 pts had ≥52 weeks’ follow-up.
Results: At data cutoff (Oct 20, 2023), 128 pts with FL Grade (Gr) 1-3a were evaluable for efficacy and safety: median age 61 yrs (range 22-84); FLIPI risk score 3-5 57.8%; POD24 49.2%; median 3 prior lines of therapy (2-13); 71.9% refractory to last treatment (Tx); 74.2% refractory to an anti-CD20 antibody. The median no. of Tx cycles was 19.4 (0.1-95.9); 95.3% and 85.2% of pts completed C1 and C4, respectively.Median efficacy follow-up was 20.1 mo; ORR was 80.5% and CR rate was 73.4% confirmed by ICR. Responses were durable (median DOR 22.6 mo; median DOCR 25.1 mo). Median PFS was 20.7 mo and 24-mo PFS was 46.1%. Median OS was not reached and 24-mo OS was 70.1%.The odronextamab safety profile was generally manageable and consistent with previous reports. Tx-emergent adverse events (AEs) occurred in all pts (Gr ≥3 85.9%); 15.6% had AEs leading to Tx discontinuation. With 0.7/4/20 mg step up (n=60), CRS events were mostly low grade (Gr 1 45.0%; Gr 2 10.0%; Gr 3 in 1 pt), occurred mostly in C1, and resolved in a median of 2 days; ICANS was reported in 1 pt (Gr 2). Infection rates were consistent with heavily pretreated, immunosuppressed pts (Leonard et al. JCO 2019; Hayne et al. BBMT 2020), occurring in 79.7% (102/128) of pts (Gr 4/5 14.0%; COVID-19 36.7% [Gr 5 6.3%]).Conclusion: Odronextamab demonstrated deep and durable responses in heavily pretreated pts with R/R FL; 91% of responders achieved CR, correlating with favorable PFS and OS at 24 mo. Odronextamab had a generally manageable safety profile and a low incidence of Gr 3 CRS/ICANS. Odronextamab could offer an important off-the-shelf Tx option for pts with heavily pretreated R/R FL.
