Long-term follow-up of the phase 2 ELM-2 study: Odronextamab for patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL).
7049 Background: Odronextamab, an investigational off-the-shelf CD20×CD3 bispecific antibody, demonstrated compelling efficacy and a generally manageable safety profile in heavily pretreated pts with R/R FL in the primary analysis of the Phase 2 ELM-2 study (NCT03888105; Kim TM, et al. Ann Oncol 2024). We present updated efficacy and safety data for odronextamab in pts with R/R FL from ELM-2 after >2 yrs follow-up. Methods: Odronextamab was administered intravenously until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity, with Cycle (C) 1 step-up dosing to help mitigate cytokine release syndrome (CRS) risk, as reported previously. Pts with a complete response (CR) for ≥9 months (mo) switched from maintenance dosing Q2W to Q4W. Primary endpoint: objective response rate (ORR) per Lugano criteria by independent central review (ICR); secondary endpoints: CR rate, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS). Results: At the updated data cutoff (Aug 15, 2024), 157 pts with centrally confirmed R/R FL Grade (Gr) 1–3a were enrolled. Median no. of treatment cycles: 19.0 (range 0.1–117.3); 96.2% (n = 151) and 82.8% (n = 130) of pts completed C1 and C4, respectively. The global cohort comprised 128 pts evaluable for efficacy. At a median efficacy follow-up of 28.3 mo, ORR was 80.5% (n = 103) by ICR and CR rate was 74.2% (n = 95); 92.2% of responders achieved CR. Responses were durable (median DOR, 26.0 mo; median duration of CR, 32.2 mo). ORR was consistent across high-risk subgroups (Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index score 3–5, 78.4%; progression of disease within 2 yrs of frontline therapy, 81.0%). Median PFS was 23.0 mo (estimated 36-mo PFS rate, 37.5%), and median OS was 54.2 mo (estimated 36-mo OS rate, 62.6%). Median PFS was longer in pts who were minimal residual disease (MRD) negative (42.4 mo) versus MRD positive (21.6 mo) at Week 12. Of 47/128 pts who switched to Q4W dosing, 32 remained in CR. The odronextamab long-term safety profile was consistent with the primary analysis. All 157 pts had TEAEs (Gr ≥3, 86.0%), and 15.3% discontinued treatment due to TEAEs (most common: COVID-19 infection, 2.5%). With 0.7/4/20 mg step-up dosing (n = 89), CRS events were mostly low grade (Gr 1, 46.1%; Gr 2, 13.5%; Gr 3, n = 1; Gr ≥4, n = 0), occurred mostly in C1, and resolved in a median of 8.4 hrs. Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome was reported in one pt (Gr 2). Infections were reported in 79.0% of pts (124/157; Gr ≥3, 42.0%). COVID-19-related infections were reported in 38.2% of pts (Gr 5, 5.7%). Conclusions: With longer follow-up, odronextamab demonstrated durable responses in heavily pretreated pts with R/R FL from ELM-2, with robust efficacy in those with high-risk features, and a generally manageable safety profile. Overall, these compelling results support odronextamab as a potential off-the-shelf treatment option for pts with R/R FL. Clinical trial information: NCT03888105 .
