Fixed duration subcutaneous (SC) mosunetuzumab (Mosun) in patients with previously untreated high-tumor burden follicular lymphoma (FL): Interim results from the phase II MorningSun study.
7014 Background: Mosun is a CD20xCD3 bispecific antibody that can be administered in the outpatient setting for a fixed duration. Intravenous Mosun is approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory FL after ≥2 prior lines of therapy. Mosun SC achieved high response rates with manageable safety in patients with 3L+ FL in a pivotal Phase II study (Bartlett et al. ASH 2024). We report the efficacy and safety of Mosun SC in patients with previously untreated high-tumor burden FL in the Phase II MorningSun study (NCT05207670). Methods: Patients with previously untreated high-tumor burden FL, per GELF criteria, were enrolled into this cohort. Mosun SC was administered with step-up dosing in Cycle (C)1 (Day [D]1, 5mg; D8, 45mg; D15, 45mg) then 45mg on D1 for up to 17 cycles (1 year; 21-day cycles). Patients with a partial or complete metabolic response (CMR) after C17 could receive additional Mosun maintenance therapy (45mg every 8 weeks for up to 1 year). Corticosteroid prophylaxis to reduce the risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was mandatory in C1–2 and optional thereafter. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 24 months. Key secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), time to response (TTR), and safety. Results: As of May 29, 2024, 102 patients were enrolled; 55 patients had completed initial treatment (17 cycles), 31 had discontinued (most commonly due to progressive disease [n=19] and adverse events [AEs; n=4]), and 16 were ongoing initial treatment. Forty-two patients received maintenance treatment, and this was ongoing in 38 patients. Median age was 65 years (range: 24–86); 52.0% of patients were female. Most patients had Ann Arbor stage III/IV (91.2%) and a FLIPI score ≥2 (78.4%). Median duration of follow-up was 13.9 months. The 12-month PFS rate was 82.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 73.0–89.3). ORR was 87.3%; 60.8% of patients had a CMR. Among the 89 patients with a response, the median TTR was 2.7 months (range: 1.2–5.8). The most common AEs (≥30%) were injection-site reaction (57.8%), fatigue (42.2%), CRS (34.3%), headache (31.4%), and nausea (30.4%). Grade ≥3 AEs and serious AEs (SAEs) were reported in 44.1% and 29.4% of patients, respectively. CRS events were all Grade 1/2 and SAE of CRS occurred in 10.8% of patients (Table); all events resolved. Conclusions: Mosun SC demonstrated promising efficacy in patients with previously untreated high-tumor burden FL. The manageable safety profile, including rate of CRS, supports the administration of fixed duration Mosun SC in an outpatient setting. Additional data, including cytokine profiling and T/B/NK dynamics, will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT05207670 .
