Summary and Conclusions
• A+CHP provided significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS and OS
versus CHOP for frontline treatment of CD30-expressing PTCL
◦ PFS: HR 0.71, P=0.011; 3-year PFS, 57%
◦ OS: HR 0.66, P=0.024
• A+CHP has a comparable safety profile to CHOP
• ECHELON-2 is first prospective trial in PTCL to show OS benefit over CHOP
• FDA approved brentuximab vedotin in combination with CHP for adults with previously
untreated sALCL or other CD30-expressing PTCL, including AITL and PTCL-NOS.

Treatment of R/R PMBCL is an important clinical need
PMBCL may be sensitive to PD-1 blockade
• Often affects young patients
• Frequent activation of NFkB and JAK/STAT
• Amplification/translocation of 9p24
• PD-L1 and PD-L2 overexpression
• High PD-L2 expression on tumor cells
Primary Mediastinal B-Cell Lymphoma (PMBCL)
• Aggressive B-cell NHL
• Good outcomes with 1L therapy
• Poor outcomes in R/R disease
Primary endpoint: ORR
Secondary endpoints: DOR, PFS, OS

• Pembrolizumab yields frequent and durable responses
in heavily pre-treated patients with rrPMBCL
– Median DOR not reached with median follow-up of 29.1 mo (KEYNOTE-013) and
12.5 mo (KEYNOTE-170)
– At least 50% of pts alive at 1 year in both studies

Conclusions
• Ibrutinib or ibrutinib plus rituximab significantly prolongs PFS
compared with BR in the frontline setting for older CLL patients
• Rituximab does not improve PFS over ibrutinib alone
• BTK inhibition with ibrutinib is not without significant toxicity in
older patients, so close monitoring is still warranted
• Strategies to discontinue therapy are of great interest
• Clinical trials for this patient population are still of high clinical
interest
Ibrutinib-based therapy vs. standard FCR chemoimmunotherapy
in Untreated Younger Patients with CLL
Fazit: Ibrutinib-based therapy vs. FCR in untreated young CLL

Median follow up: 28.3 months
CONCLUSIONS
• AUGMENT met its primary endpoint as R2 demonstrated statistically
significant and clinically relevant superiority over R-placebo for the
primary endpoint of PFS
– PFS advantage in prespecified subgroups, except MZL, was consistent with
overall population
– Overall survival advantage for R2 in the follicular lymphoma subgroup
R2 represents an important new treatment option in patients
with previously treated indolent NHL

Overall reduction of non-hem AEs by approx a third
Conclusion • PFS and OS with 4 cycles of R-CHOP + 2 x R is
non-inferior to the previous standard 6 x R-CHOP in younger patients with favourable prognosis aggressive B-NHL (aaIPI=0, no bulk)
• AEs with 4 cycles were reduced by about a third, which means a significant benefit for patients
• Relapse pattern is similar in both arms

AEs were similar across arms for both age groups TEAEs leading to dose reduction or treatment discontinuation primarily included febrile neutropenia and
peripheral neuropathy In patients ≥ 60 years, ibrutinib + R-CHOP was associated with
Higher SAEs Higher AEs leading to treatment discontinuation
American Society of Hematology 60th Annual Meeting and Exposition, Younes A, et al. Abstract 784.
In the ITT population, addition of ibrutinib to R-CHOP did not improve efficacy in
patients with untreated non-GCB DLBCL
The benefit-risk profile of ibrutinib + R-CHOP is dependent on age
– In patients < 60 years, ibrutinib + R-CHOP was associated with prolonged EFS, PFS,
and OS
In patients ≥ 60 years, addition of ibrutinib to R-CHOP increased rates of SAEs and
AEs leading to R-CHOP discontinuation, which compromised treatment exposure
and likely decreased efficacy
– In older patients, risk with the addition of ibrutinib to R-CHOP outweighs the benefit
Since the primary end point of the study was not met, this hypothesis-generating
finding requires confirmation in a prospective clinical trial
