Besides many other mutations in known cancer driver genes, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is characterized by recurrent genetic alterations of important regulators of the phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) cascade including PIK3CA gains and PTEN losses. To evaluate the biological and functional consequences of these aberrations in MCL, we have introduced transgenic expression of PIK3CA (PIK3CA UP) and performed knockout/knockdown of PTEN gene (PTEN KO/KD) in 5 MCL cell lines. The modified cell lines were tested for associated phenotypes including dependence on upstream B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling (by an additional BCR knockout). PIK3CA overexpression decreased the dependence of the tested MCL on prosurvival signaling from BCR, decreased levels of oxidative phosphorylation, and increased resistance to 2-deoxy-glucose, a glycolysis inhibitor. Unchanged protein kinase B (AKT) phosphorylation status and unchanged sensitivity to a battery of PI3K inhibitors suggested that PIK3CA gain might affect MCL cells in AKT-independent manner. PTEN KO was associated with a more distinct phenotype: AKT hyperphosphorylation and overactivation, increased resistance to multiple inhibitors (most of the tested PI3K inhibitors, Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib, and BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax), increased glycolytic rates with resistance to 2-deoxy-glucose, and significantly decreased dependence on prosurvival BCR signaling. Our results suggest that the frequent aberrations of the PI3K pathway may rewire associated signaling with lower dependence on BCR signaling, better metabolic and hypoxic adaptation, and targeted therapy resistance in MCL.

Recent studies highlighted genetic aberrations associated with prognosis in Mantle Cell lymphoma (MCL), yet comprehensive testing is not implemented in clinical routine. We conducted a comprehensive genomic characterization of 180 patients from the European MCL network trials by targeted sequencing of peripheral blood DNA using the EuroClonality(EC)-NDC assay. The IGH::CCND1 fusion was identified in 94% of patients, clonal IGH-V-(D)-J rearrangements in all, and 79% had ≥1 somatic gene mutation. The top mutated genes were ATM, TP53, KMT2D, SAMHD1, BIRC3 and NFKBIE. Copy number variations (CNVs) were detected in 83% of patients with RB1, ATM, CDKN2A/B and TP53 being the most frequently deleted and KLF2, CXCR4, CCND1, MAP2K1 and MYC the top amplified genes. CNVs and mutations were more frequently observed in older patients with adverse impact on prognosis. TP53mut, NOTCH1mut, FAT1mut TRAF2del, CDKN2A/Bdel and MAP2K1amp were linked to inferior failure-free (FFS) and overall survival (OS), while TRAF2mut, EGR2del and BCL2amp related to inferior OS only. Genetic complexity (≥3 CNVs) observed in 51% of analysed patients was significantly associated with impaired FFS and OS. We demonstrate that targeted sequencing from peripheral blood and bone marrow reliably detects diagnostically and prognostically important genetic factors in MCL patients, facilitating genetic characterization in clinical routine.

BACKGROUND: Adding ibrutinib to standard immunochemotherapy might improve outcomes and challenge autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) in younger (aged 65 years or younger) mantle cell lymphoma patients. This trial aimed to investigate whether the addition of ibrutinib results in a superior clinical outcome compared with the pre-trial immunochemotherapy standard with ASCT or an ibrutinib-containing treatment without ASCT. We also investigated whether standard treatment with ASCT is superior to a treatment adding ibrutinib but without ASCT. METHODS: The open-label, randomised, three-arm, parallel-group, superiority TRIANGLE trial was performed in 165 secondary or tertiary clinical centres in 13 European countries and Israel. Patients with previously untreated, stage II-IV mantle cell lymphoma, aged 18-65 years and suitable for ASCT were randomly assigned 1:1:1 to control group A or experimental groups A+I or I, stratified by study group and mantle cell lymphoma international prognostic index risk groups. Treatment in group A consisted of six alternating cycles of R-CHOP (intravenous rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day 0 or 1, intravenous cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2 on day 1, intravenous doxorubicin 50 mg/m2 on day 1, intravenous vincristine 1·4 mg/m2 on day 1, and oral prednisone 100 mg on days 1-5) and R-DHAP (or R-DHAOx, intravenous rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day 0 or 1, intravenous or oral dexamethasone 40 mg on days 1-4, intravenous cytarabine 2 × 2 g/m2 for 3 h every 12 h on day 2, and intravenous cisplatin 100 mg/m2 over 24 h on day 1 or alternatively intravenous oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2 on day 1) followed by ASCT. In group A+I, ibrutinib (560 mg orally each day) was added on days 1-19 of R-CHOP cycles and as fixed-duration maintenance (560 mg orally each day for 2 years) after ASCT. In group I, ibrutinib was given the same way as in group A+I, but ASCT was omitted. Three pairwise one-sided log-rank tests for the primary outcome of failure-free survival were statistically monitored. The primary analysis was done by intention-to-treat. Adverse events were evaluated by treatment period among patients who started the respective treatment. This ongoing trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02858258. FINDINGS: Between July 29, 2016 and Dec 28, 2020, 870 patients (662 men, 208 women) were randomly assigned to group A (n=288), group A+I (n=292), and group I (n=290). After 31 months median follow-up, group A+I was superior to group A with 3-year failure-free survival of 88% (95% CI 84-92) versus 72% (67-79; hazard ratio 0·52 [one-sided 98·3% CI 0-0·86]; one-sided p=0·0008). Superiority of group A over group I was not shown with 3-year failure-free survival 72% (67-79) versus 86% (82-91; hazard ratio 1·77 [one-sided 98·3% CI 0-3·76]; one-sided p=0·9979). The comparison of group A+I versus group I is ongoing. There were no relevant differences in grade 3-5 adverse events during induction or ASCT between patients treated with R-CHOP/R-DHAP or ibrutinib combined with R-CHOP/R-DHAP. During maintenance or follow-up, substantially more grade 3-5 haematological adverse events and infections were reported after ASCT plus ibrutinib (group A+I; haematological: 114 [50%] of 231 patients; infections: 58 [25%] of 231; fatal infections: two [1%] of 231) compared with ibrutinib only (group I; haematological: 74 [28%] of 269; infections: 52 [19%] of 269; fatal infections: two [1%] of 269) or after ASCT (group A; haematological: 51 [21%] of 238; infections: 32 [13%] of 238; fatal infections: three [1%] of 238). INTERPRETATION: Adding ibrutinib to first-line treatment resulted in superior efficacy in younger mantle cell lymphoma patients with increased toxicity when given after ASCT. Adding ibrutinib during induction and as maintenance should be part of first-line treatment of younger mantle cell lymphoma patients. Whether ASCT adds to an ibrutinib-containing regimen is not yet determined. FUNDING: Janssen and Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Ibrutinib revolutionized therapy for relapsed/refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Real-world data on the outcome of unselected patients are still limited. We analyzed 77 R/R MCL patients receiving ibrutinib with at least one prior systemic anti-lymphoma therapy. After a median follow-up of 14.0 months, 56 patients relapsed/progressed, and 45 died. The overall response rate was 66%, with 31% of complete metabolic remissions on PET/CT. The median progression-free and overall survival (OS) rates were 10.3 and 23.1 months, respectively. The median OS from ibrutinib failure was 3.7 months. High proliferation rate by Ki67 (≥ 30%) and two or more previous therapy lines both negatively correlated with outcome (HR = 2.2, p = 0.04, and HR = 2.06, p = 0.08, respectively). Female gender borderline correlated with better outcome (HR = 0.53, p = 0.08). In multivariate analysis, Ki67 and response to ibrutinib both correlated with OS (p < 0.05). Importantly, ibrutinib appeared to better control nodal and extranodal lymphoma than bone marrow (BM) involvement. From 20 patients with detectable BM infiltration (before ibrutinib initiation) achieving complete (n = 13) or partial (n = 7) metabolic remission, none achieved remission in BM. We confirmed good efficacy of ibrutinib in unselected heavily pre-treated MCL patients. Our findings support the use of a combination of ibrutinib and rituximab in patients with BM involvement.

Our knowledge of genetic aberrations, that is, variants and copy number variations (CNVs), associated with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) relapse remains limited. A cohort of 25 patients with MCL at diagnosis and the first relapse after the failure of standard immunochemotherapy was analyzed using whole-exome sequencing. The most frequent variants at diagnosis and at relapse comprised six genes: TP53, ATM, KMT2D, CCND1, SP140, and LRP1B. The most frequent CNVs at diagnosis and at relapse included TP53 and CDKN2A/B deletions, and PIK3CA amplifications. The mean count of mutations per patient significantly increased at relapse (n = 34) compared to diagnosis (n = 27). The most frequent newly detected variants at relapse, LRP1B gene mutations, correlated with a higher mutational burden. Variant allele frequencies of TP53 variants increased from 0.35 to 0.76 at relapse. The frequency and length of predicted CNVs significantly increased at relapse with CDKN2A/B deletions being the most frequent. Our data suggest, that the resistant MCL clones detected at relapse were already present at diagnosis and were selected by therapy. We observed enrichment of genetic aberrations of DNA damage response pathway (TP53 and CDKN2A/B), and a significant increase in MCL heterogeneity. We identified LRP1B inactivation as a new potential driver of MCL relapse.

Mantle cell lymfom (mantle cell lymphoma, MCL) je vzácná B lymfoidní neoplazie, s mediánem věku v době iniciální diagnózy 68 let a s častějším výskytem u mužů. Základem současné léčby je chemoterapie v kombinaci s cílenou léčbou anti-CD20. Přestože se za posledních 30 let prognóza pacientů s MCL výrazně zlepšila s více než dvojnásobným přežitím, zůstává MCL pro většinu pacientů stále nevyléčitelné onemocnění. Průlom v léčbě relabovaných pacientů představují cílené inhibitory Brutonovy tyrosinkinázy. Současný vývoj a výzkum nabízí pacientům s MCL lepší perspektivu v podobě dalších nových léčiv, jako jsou bispecifické protilátky (CD20/CD3), anti-CD19 CAR-T buňky, nové protilátky (anti-CD19, anti-ROR1), imunokonjugáty (zilovertamab vedotin) a další léčiva.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare B-lymphoid neoplasia, with a median 68 years at initial diagnosis and higher incidence among men. The recent therapy approach is based on chemotherapy combined with targeted anti-CD20. Despite a big improvement in the overall survival of patients with MCL, which is twice longer compared to that 30 years ago, MCL remains still incurable disease in majority of patients. In relapsing MCL patients, the inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinases made a breakthrough. Recent development and research offer to MCL patients a better perspective in terms of new drugs: bispecific antibodies (CD20/CD3), anti-CD19 CAR-T, new antibodies or immunoconjugates (anti-CD19, anti-ROR1, zilovertamab vedotin) etc.

Germline pathogenic ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) variants are associated with the risk of multiple cancers; however, genetic testing reveals a large number of ATM variants of uncertain significance (VUS). Here, we studied germline ATM variants occurring in a real-world cohort of 336 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and public cancer whole-exome/genome-sequencing datasets (445 CLL, 75 mantle cell lymphoma, 216 metastatic breast cancer, 140 lung cancer patients). We found that two-thirds of rare germline ATM variants are pathogenic (18%-50%) or VUS-predicted pathogenic (50%-82%), depending on cancer type and reaching a prevalence of up to 8%, and one-third are VUS-predicted benign. Patients with both pathogenic and VUS-predicted pathogenic variants, all heterozygous, mostly missense, are more predisposed to biallelic ATM inactivation by acquiring deletion (del)11q than patients without these variants, similar to patients with somatic ATM variants. A functional assay of ATM activity in primary CLL cells proved that VUS-predicted pathogenic ATM variants partially reduce ATM activity and concurrent del(11q) leads to complete loss of ATM activity. The rare germline variants were associated with reduced progression-free survival in CLL on novel agents, comparable to somatic ATM or TP53 disruptions. Our results highlight the need to determine the pathogenicity of VUS in clinically relevant genes such as ATM.

BACKGROUND: Ibrutinib, a Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, may have clinical benefit when administered in combination with bendamustine and rituximab and followed by rituximab maintenance therapy in older patients with untreated mantle-cell lymphoma. METHODS: We randomly assigned patients 65 years of age or older to receive ibrutinib (560 mg, administered orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxic effects) or placebo, plus six cycles of bendamustine (90 mg per square meter of body-surface area) and rituximab (375 mg per square meter). Patients with an objective response (complete or partial response) received rituximab maintenance therapy, administered every 8 weeks for up to 12 additional doses. The primary end point was progression-free survival as assessed by the investigators. Overall survival and safety were also assessed. RESULTS: Among 523 patients, 261 were randomly assigned to receive ibrutinib and 262 to receive placebo. At a median follow-up of 84.7 months, the median progression-free survival was 80.6 months in the ibrutinib group and 52.9 months in the placebo group (hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.75; 95% confidence interval, 0.59 to 0.96; P = 0.01). The percentage of patients with a complete response was 65.5% in the ibrutinib group and 57.6% in the placebo group (P = 0.06). Overall survival was similar in the two groups. The incidence of grade 3 or 4 adverse events during treatment was 81.5% in the ibrutinib group and 77.3% in the placebo group. CONCLUSIONS: Ibrutinib treatment in combination with standard chemoimmunotherapy significantly prolonged progression-free survival. The safety profile of the combined therapy was consistent with the known profiles of the individual drugs.
