Targeting CD19-positive lymphomas with the antibody-drug conjugate loncastuximab tesirine: preclinical evidence as single agent and in combination therapy. (PubMed, Haematologica)
Loncastuximab tesirine was more potent than other anti-CD19 ADCs (coltuximab ravtansine, huB4-DGN462), albeit the pattern of activity across cell lines was correlated. Loncastuximab tesirine activity was also largely correlated with cell line sensitivity to R-CHOP...Our data support the further development of loncastuximab tesirine as a single agent and in combination for patients affected by mature B-cell neoplasms. The results also highlight the importance of CD19 expression and the existence of lymphoma populations characterized by resistance to multiple therapies.

Sequencing of anti-CD19 therapies in the management of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
The anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody tafasitamab, paired with the immunomodulator lenalidomide, mediates antibody-dependent cellular toxicity and cellular phagocytosis; the antibody-drug conjugate loncastuximab tesirine delivers the DNA-cross-linking agent tesirine via CD19 binding and internalization; and CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) products are engineered from autologous T cells. To date, clinical evidence on the effect of anti-CD19 therapy prior to CAR-T is restricted to small case series. Prospective studies and detailed analyses to understand how pre- and post-treatment CD19 expression correlates with clinical responses to subsequent CD19-directed therapy are needed to fully maximize treatment strategies.

In relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, CD19 expression by immunohistochemistry alone is not a predictor of response to loncastuximab tesirine. (PubMed, EJHaem)
We found Lonca is an effective treatment for R/R DLBCL regardless of CD19 expression by immunohistochemistry. These results provide the basis for future studies addressing CD19-targeted agent sequencing.

Foresight Diagnostics Presents Four Presentations and Two Posters Demonstrating Accuracy and Utility of PhasED-Seq ctDNA Platform for Early Response Assessment at the 65th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting (PRNewswire)
"Foresight Diagnostics...announced multiple studies that consistently demonstrated higher clinical sensitivity and prognostic accuracy of Foresight Diagnostic's PhasED-Seq circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) technology compared to that of standard-of-care imaging in patients with lymphoma...The new data have been presented across four podium presentations and two posters during this year's American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting....'We are pleased to share our findings at ASH specific to the molecular response and mutational genotypes seen in DLBCL patients undergoing treatment with ZYNLONTA® (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl [Lonca]) to collectively improve our approaches to using ctDNA for drug development and clinical decision making.'"

Real-World Treatment Patterns and Outcomes of Patients with Large B-Cell Lymphoma (LBCL) Who Received Loncastuximab Tesirine Prior to Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell (CAR-T) Therapy (TCT-ASTCT-CIBMTR 2024)
All pts received axicabtagene ciloleucel. In this small, observational, real-world study, treatment of pts with lonca prior to CAR-T infusion did not preclude subsequent responses to CD19-directed CAR-T therapy. Studies in a large pt population are warranted to confirm the findings.

Real-World Clinical Effectiveness of Loncastuximab Tesirine Monotherapy for the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Following Chimeric Antigen T Cell Therapy in the US (TCT-ASTCT-CIBMTR 2024)
In this real-world study, we examined the effectiveness of lonca for pts with R/R DLBCL following CAR-T. This is the first study to examine lonca at 3L following CAR-T at 2L and suggests that lonca can be a reasonable and effective treatment option for pts who are resistant/progressed after CAR-T. Data collection is still ongoing and final results (for the complete sample size) will be presented at the meeting.

Targeted DNA Damage Boost with Loncastuximab Tesirine in Combination with PARP Inhibitors in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (ASH 2023)
Similar results were obtained by combining Talazoparib and different PARP inhibitors with the alkylating agent cisplatin, indicating a class effect. Importantly, PBMC-derived T cells from healthy donors did not show any sign of DNA damage accumulation upon exposure to Lonca, Talazoparib and the combination. These data provide the rationale for future therapeutic strategies based on selective induction of DNA damage in neoplastic B cells in combination with DDR inhibition in aggressive MYC-positive B cell lymphoma.

A Phase II Study of Loncastuximab Tesirine As Consolidation Strategy in Patients with LBCL in PR at Day 30 after CAR T-Cell Therapy (ASH 2023)
Blood and tissue samples will be analyzed by multi-parameter flow cytometry and hiplex imaging assays (Phenocycler-Fusion/CODEX) to identify immune signatures of response and resistance to Lonca, and to assess CAR T-cell persistence; blood samples will be analyzed by CAPP-Seq to measure minimal residual disease. Finally, total metabolic tumor volume will be assessed on pre-treatment PET-CT scans, and association with response to consolidation therapy will be analyzed.

Early and Sustained Circulating Tumor DNA Response Dynamics after Loncastuximab Tesirine for Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (ASH 2023)
ctDNA molecular response assessment using PhasED-Seq is prognostic for outcomes in pts receiving Lonca monotherapy. ctDNA levels as early as C2D1 can predict outcomes and are indicative of a fast response to Lonca. Furthermore, molecular responses can deepen with additional cycles.

Comparison of the CXCR5-Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC; VIP924) to a CD19-ADC and a CD79b-ADC in a Humanized Rec-1 Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) Mouse Model (ASH 2023)
Loncastuximab teserine had a deleterious effect on several hematologic parameters, which was not observed with VIP924 or polatuzumab vedotin. The efficacy and tolerability observed in this study with VIP924 suggests further testing in human clinical trials is warranted.

IKS03, a Novel CD19-Targeted Antibody Drug Conjugate, Induces Target Dependent In Vivo Cell Killing of B-Cell Lymphoma Xenografts By DNA Crosslinking (ASH 2023)
IKS03 demonstrated greater in vivo efficacy than the clinical benchmark ADCs polatuzumab vedotin and loncastuximab tesirine approved for the treatment of patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. This is consistent with the proposed mechanism of action of CD19-mediated delivery of a PBD payload specifically to B-cell tumors. Clinical investigation in patients with advanced B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas is being initiated (NCT05365659).

Updated Results of the Safety Run‑In of the Phase 3 LOTIS‑5 Trial: Novel Combination of Loncastuximab Tesirine With Rituximab (Lonca‑R) Versus Immunochemotherapy in Patients With R/R DLBCL (SOHO 2023)
Patients: Part 1 enrolled 20 patients in a nonrandomized safety run-in; part 2 will randomly assign approximately 330 patients to receive Lonca-R or rituximab- gemcitabine-oxaliplatin. Lonca-R demonstrated no new safety signals and showed encouraging antitumor activity in patients with R/R DLBCL. Initial signs of durability are promising. Lonca-R has a fixed treatment duration, making it an appealing alternative to continuous therapies.

Safety of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with severe hepatic dysfunction. (PubMed, Cancer)
Baseline moderate to severe hepatic impairment has an unclear impact on the safety of loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl, and there is a lack of clear guidance on dose adjustment from the manufacturer. The authors present two cases of r/r DLBCL safely treated with full-dose loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl in the setting of severe hepatic dysfunction.
