    Recently, based on the development of related research fields at home and abroad, the team of the Department of Hematology of the Second Hospital of Zhejiang University published an original research paper 1: Zanubrutinib plus salvage chemotherapy for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
    。 The study found that zebratinib combined with conventional salvage chemotherapy regimen had high efficacy and controllable tolerability, and may be a potential treatment option for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL), creating conditions
    for subsequent smooth bridging of CAR-T cell therapy.






    Research background


    DLBCL is the most common type of aggressive lymphoma, accounting for 30%-40% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas2,3
    .
    R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) regimens are the standard first-line treatment and achieve long-term remission
    of approximately 50% to 60%.
    However, up to 50% of patients are ultimately incurable4,5
    .
    Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after salvage chemotherapy is currently the standard of care
    for R/R DLL.
    HOWEVER, IN THE SCHOLAR-1 STUDY6, ONLY 26% OF PATIENTS RESPONDED TO THE NEXT SALVAGE TREATMENT, AND ONLY A FEW WERE ELIGIBLE FOR AUTOLOGOUS TRANSPLANTATION, WITH A MEDIAN OVERALL SURVIVAL (OS) OF ONLY 6.
    3 MONTHS
    .
    Therefore, it is necessary to explore better salvage chemotherapy
    regimens for the treatment of R/R LLBCL.


    Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) have been shown to be highly effective against a wide range of B-cell malignancies, with an overall response rate (ORR) of 23% for R/R DLBCL with first-generation BTKi ibrutinib7
    .
    Compared with ibrutinib, the new generation of BTKi zebratinib has shown high efficacy and safety in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia8,9
    .
    The BGB-3111-207 phase II study showed that zebratinib monotherapy for R/R DLLBCL had an ORR of 29.
    3% and a complete response rate (CRR) of 17.
    1%, moderate antitumor activity and good safety profile
    .
    This review retrospectively explores the efficacy and safety
    of zebratinib in combination with conventional salvage chemotherapy in the treatment of R/R DLLCL.




    Study results


    This review included 27 patients with R/R DLLBCL, with a median age of 59 years (range 15-72 years), mostly non-GCB (85.
    2%), 74.
    1% of patients treated ≥ 2nd line therapy, and 74.
    1%
    of patients with stage III-IV.



    The optimal ORR was 74.
    1% and CRR was 33.
    3%.

    With a median follow-up of 11 months (range 1-17), median progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.
    1 months, and overall survival (OS) was not reached
    .



    The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were neutropenia (70.
    4%), thrombocytopenia (66.
    7%), and febrile neutropenia (33.
    3%)
    .
    In multivariate analysis, ORR after front-line therapy and chemotherapy was an independent favorable prognostic factor for PFS, and ORR after chemotherapy was an independent favorable factor
    for OS.


    The genetic characteristics
    of eight patients who did not respond well to zebratinib combined with chemotherapy were also explored.
    The results showed that all 8 patients had NOTCH2 mutation and 7 patients had TP53 mutation
    .
    All 8 patients subsequently received CD19-CAR-T cell therapy, and the ORR reached 75% at 3 months after CAR-T therapy (4 patients had complete response and 2 patients had partial remission).

    The median follow-up after CAR-T cell infusion was 9 months (range 1-16 months), the median PFS was 14.
    5 months, and the median OS was not reached
    .
    It suggests that CAR-T cell therapy may be an effective treatment
    for BTKi-resistant R/R DLCL.





    Conclusion of the study


    In summary, zebratinib combined with salvage chemotherapy regimen has high efficacy and controllable tolerability, which is a potential treatment option for patients with R/R DLLBCL, and creates conditions
    for subsequent smooth bridging of CAR-T cell therapy.
