A Phase 1 Study of Subcutaneous Rituximab Hyaluronidase Combined with Local Standard-of-Care Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma in Uganda (ASH 2023)
The first cohort (n=6) received IV rituximab, 375mg/m2 on day 1 of cycle 1 plus CHOP chemotherapy (IV cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2, IV doxorubicin 50 mg/m2, IV vincristine 1·4 mg/m2 (maximum 2 mg/m2) on day 1, and oral prednisone 100 mg on days 1-5). As demonstrated in other parts of the world, sqR together with CHOP chemotherapy was safe, well-tolerated, and efficacious among Ugandan patients with DLBCL. The very high CR, PFS, and OS rates are nearly double that of historical controls at the UCI, and comparable to outcomes expected in resource-rich settings. Colleagues have previously demonstrated the safety and efficacy of an oral chemotherapy regimen for aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in East Africa (Mwanda et al.

SC rituximab improves PFS for patients with low-tumor burden FL when used in induction followed by short maintenance. High rituximab exposure during the first 3 months after treatment initiation is, however, the only parameter influencing patient outcomes.

PHARMACOKINETICS, EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF SUBCUTANEOUS VERSUS INTRAVENOUS RITUXIMAB COMBINED WITH CHOP IN CHINESE PATIENTS WITH UNTREATED CD20-POSITIVE DIFFUSE LARGE B CELL LYMPHOMA: A RANDOMIZED TRIAL (EHA 2023)
The standard of care for DLBCL is eight cycles of intravenous (IV) rituximab combined with six or eight cycles of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP). SC rituximab demonstrated non-inferior rituximab serum trough levels, as well as comparable efficacy and tolerability to IV rituximab in Chinese patients with previously untreated CD20+ DLBCL, indicating that SC rituximab is a viable route of administration, with potential to reduce burden of administration for healthcare professionals and patients.

Subcutaneous Epcoritamab with Rituximab + Lenalidomide in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Follicular Lymphoma:Phase 1/2 Trial Update (ASH 2022)
All CRS events resolved (median time to resolution, 2 d; range, 1–4), no patients discontinued treatment due to CRS, and 5 patients received tocilizumab. In patients with R/R FL, subcutaneous epcoritamab + R2 demonstrated a manageable safety profile with only low-grade CRS events, mostly observed following the first full dose and all of which resolved. No new safety signals were detected. Data from this cohort are very encouraging with a high CMR rate observed in patients with R/R FL.

Subcutaneous Epcoritamab with Rituximab + Lenalidomide (R2) in Patients (PTS) with Relapsed or Refractory (R/R) Follicular Lymphoma (FL): Update from Phase 1/2 Trial (PPLC 2022)
All CRS events resolved with standard management, including tocilizumab in 3 pts, and 1 pt discontinued Tx due to CRS. Subcutaneous epcoritamab + R2 exhibits promising efficacy, including a high CMR rate, in pts with R/R FL. The safety profile was consistent with prior data, and CRS events were generally low grade and in C1. Updated data will be presented.

Phase II Study of Acalabrutinib and High-Frequency Low-Dose Subcutaneous Rituximab in Patients with Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL) (ASH 2021)
The second generation BTK inhibitor acalabrutinib (ACALA) has demonstrated an improved safety profile compared to ibrutinib. HFLD RTX and ACALA is a tolerable, effective and convenient therapy that could be the basis for regimens incorporating other novel agents. It is notable that three patients have contracted COVID-19 during the trial; however, none required intubation, and all remained on ACALA during their infection. This at-home combination markedly decreased patient infection risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.
