Abstract:
6507 Background: Fludarabine based therapy, while effective, carries significant risk of morbidity and mortality in the elderly pts. As such, older CLL pts represent a high priority for new therapeutic approaches. PCI-32765 (P) an oral, selective, irreversible inhibitor of BTK inhibits CLL cell proliferation, migration and adhesion. A multi-cohort Phase Ib/II trial evaluated 2 doses of single-agent P in both TN and relapsed/ refractory (R/R) CLL/SLL pts. Mature follow-up of the TN pts is reported. Methods: Pts 〉 65 yrs old with active CLL requiring Tx by IWCLL guidelines were treated with oral P at doses of 420 mg or 840 mg administered daily for 28-day cycles until disease progression (PD). Response was evaluated according to 2008 IWCLL criteria. Results: 31 pts were enrolled- 26 pts (420mg) and 5 pts (840 mg). The 840 mg cohort was terminated after comparable activity and safety between doses was shown in R/R pts. Median age 71 yrs (range 65-84) with 74% of pts 〉 70 yrs. 19/31 (61%) had baseline cytopenias (Hgb 〈 11g/dl or plts 〈 100,000). Unmutated IgVH was present in 43% of pts. The majority of AEs have been Gr 〈 =2 in severity, most commonly diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue. Gr 〉 3 non-heme AEs potentially related to P in 19% of pts. 10% of pts experienced Gr 〉 3 infections or cytopenias. With a median follow-up of 10.7 mos on 420 mg cohort 73% (19/26) achieved a response by IWCLL criteria with 65% partial responses (PR) and 8% complete remissions with no morphologic evidence of CLL on marrow. An additional 12% (3/26) of pts achieved nodal responses (NR) with lymphocytosis. Median follow-up in the 840 mg cohort is 4.6 mo, at 2 cycle assessment 2/5 achieved a PR and 1 pt with a NR. ORR was independent of high risk factors. 84% of pts remain on study, reasons for discontinuation = AE (3), investigator decision (1) and PD (1). There have been no deaths. Estimated 12 mo median PFS for the 420 mg cohort is 93%. Conclusions: PCI-32765 is highly active and well tolerated in elderly TN CLL pts. The high ORR, including marrow clearance and very low PD rate with the single agent suggests that P warrants further study as a first-line treatment approach in elderly pts.
