Reasons for Poor Outcomes in T cell Lymphomas
• Diagnosis difficult◦ Needs expert pathology
• Treated like B-cell NHL◦ CHOP or anthracycline-based therapy
◦ Multidrug resistance (MDR)
◦ Doxorubicin and vincristine are substrates
• Outcome of patients who fail front-line therapy is poor
• Not one disease◦ Molecular studies show distinct biological entities
PTCL: Clinical Prognostic Biomarkers
• Prognostic biomarkers - IPI or prognostic index for T-cell
lymphoma (PIT) score
• PIT modified IPI with BM involvement, most effective prognostic
factor
• IPI works less well for AITL and PTCL-NOS
• Modified prognostic index for T-cell lymphoma and alternative
prognostic index for AITL (PIAI)
• None provide a significant improvement over IPI in terms of
impacting treatment strategies.

Is There a Favorable Risk PTCL Who Should Be Treated Differently?
• ITCP: 5-year FFS IPI 0,1 risk factors was only 33% and 34% for PTCL-NOS1 and AITL2,
respectively, reduced therapy not validated
• IPI may factor into our treatment recommendations in ALK-positive ALCL; FFS by IPI
risk factor:
– 0/1 = 80%
– 2 = 60%
– 3 = 40%
– 4/5 = 25%
• Suggests that CHOP-based therapy alone may not be adequate for patients with
higher-risk disease
– ALK-positive ALCL over the age of 40: Treat these higher-risk patients similar to
patients who present with the less favorable PTCL entities

Striving to improve initial therapy in PTCL
• CHOP provides initial responses for many but… few CRs; even fewer durable remissions; (ALCL >> AITL and PTCL-NOS)
• Alternative strategies:

Adding etoposide to anthracycline-based regimen
• SWOG group Cisplatin, etoposide, gemcitabine, Solu-medrol• ORR only 39% and 2yr PFS of 12%2
• Phase III study GOELAMS group CHOP vs etoposide, ifosfamide, cisplatin alternating with adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine
• No difference in outcome for the 2 arms ORR of 70% and CR rate of 35% with CHOP3
Alternative to CHOP: attempts at using nonanthracycline-based regimen disappointing
• No randomized clinical trial comparing chemotherapy vs ASCT • Prospective shows benefit, but CR is the most important prognostic factor1
Consideration of transplant as consolidation
• Alemtuzumab, Romidepsin + chemo • Brentuximab vedotin + chemo

What Are the Data Supporting ASCT for PTCL?
• No randomized clinical trial comparing chemotherapy vs ASCT
• Retrospective data from prospective randomized trials for aggressive lymphomas
◦ GELA pooled analysis with matched controls no advantage to ASCT1
• Prospective data◦ Variable front-line chemotherapy
◦ Variable preparative regimen for ASCT
◦ Variable inclusion criteria

The role of transplant at first remission
• COMPLETE study1
– Patients in CR1
– Median OS: NR with ASCT vs 57.6 months with noASCT(p=0.06)
– ASCT was associated with superior survival for stage III–IV and intermediate-to-high IPI
– ASCT improved OS and PFS with AITL but notother PTCL subtypes
– Multivariate analysis, ASCT was independentlyassociated with improved survival (HR: 0.37; 95% CI 0.15,0.89)
• LYSA study2: Showed no significant difference in PFS or OS in patients with PTCL who received ASCT consolidation (n=134)or noASCT (n=135) following CR on first-line therapy2
– PFS: HR 1.02; 95% CI 0.69, 1.50
– OS: HR 1.08; 95% CI 0.68, 1.69

Non-transplantmedian OS: 57.6 months
ASCT in PTCLSummary of Prospective Trials
• ~25%-60% do not get to ASCT due to disease progression during primary therapy
• ~20% relapse within the first year after ASCT
• Additional ~10% relapse by 2 years post ASCT
• Does ASCT as consolidation improve results or just select for healthier people with chemosensitive disease?
• Factors (high-risk disease) predict for poor outcome after chemotherapy and ASCT

Targeting CD30 with Brentuximab vedotin in T cell lymphomas
• Phase II data relapsed/refractory sALCL (universally express CD30) led to approval in
the US, EU, and Japan
• Across subtypes, approximately 50% of patients express CD30
Variable CD30 expression among other PTCL subtypes4,5
• Encouraging phase 1 study of brentuximab vedotin in combination with CHP as
frontline therapy6
- Manageable safety profile
- At 5 years, 50% of patients remain in remission with no subsequent anticancer
therapy
- Median OS not reached

Summary and Conclusions
• A+CHP provided clinically meaningful improvement in PFS and OS versus
CHOP (ECHELON-2 first prospective trial in PTCL to show OS benefit over CHOP)
◦ 34% reduction in the risk of death
• A+CHP has a comparable safety profile to 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
Response to A + CHP by CD30 expression in ECHELON-2 trial
• Response rate and durability of response were independent of CD30 expression above vs median and responses were observed amongst patients with the lowest CD30 expression level – 10%.
• The degree of CD30 expression , as measured by IHC does not predict benefit from A+CHP
• Further evaluation of the expression-response relationship in PTCL patients with CD30

ALCANZA: Brentuximab vedotin vs physician's choice of methotrexate or bexarotene, in previously treated patients with CD30-expressing CTCL (NCT01578499)
• 131 patients were enrolled between 13/Aug/2012-31/July/2015
• Final Analysis: 10 months from LPI
Kim et al. ASH 2016; Abstract #182 ;Prince HM et al. Lancet 2017;390:555-566.
• Median follow-up for PFS was 33.9m
• With 46 and 51 patients having progressed (39 and 46 patients) or died (7 and 5 patients), respectively, median PFS with
brentuximab vedotin versus physician’s choice was 15.8 versus 3.6 months
• Kaplan-Meier estimates demonstrated improved PFS rates with brentuximab vedotin versus physician’s choice at
1 year (63.9% vs 15.6%) and 2 years (28.8% vs 8.4%)
Progression-free survival Updated at 34 month follow up (ITT)
Horwtiz S et al. Blood 2017 130:1509
Time to next treatment (TTNT)
• At a median follow-up of 33.9 months, 47 (73%) and 48 (75%) of patients in the brentuximab vedotin and physician’s choice arms,
respectively, had received ≥1 subsequent antineoplastic therapy
• Median TTNT was significantly longer with brentuximab vedotin versus physician’s choice (14.2 vs 6.1 months; HR 0.335; 95% CI, 0.218–0.515; p<0.001)
• In the brentuximab vedotin versus physician’s choice arms, the probability of patients not requiring subsequent antineoplastic therapy was greater at 1 year
(65.5% vs 15.3%) and 2 years (24.6% vs 4.4%) post-randomizationP

Chemokines and chemokine receptors orchestrate cell migration and homing in the body1; C-C chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) is the receptor for two CC chemokine ligands (CCLs)—CCL17 (also called thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine, TARC) and CCL22 (macrophage-derived chemokine, MDC) 1
Mogamulizumab, a humanized anti-CCR4 mAb, binds to CCR4-positive malignant T cells, and elicits anti-tumour activity mediated by antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).2
Selective targeting of CCR4+ malignant T cells by mogamulizumab (a) activates immune effector cells (natural killer cells and monocytes) (b)3-5
The effector cells bind to mogamulizumab (b), triggering release of cytotoxic molecules that kill the CCR4+ malignant T cell via ADCC (c)3-5
Mogamulizumab is glycoengineered (defucosylation) for enhanced antibody-dependent mediated cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).4,5

TELLOMAK: T cell lymphoma anti-‐KIR3DL2 Therapy: An open label, multi-cohort, multicenter, international Phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of IPH4102 alone or in combination with chemotherapy in patients with advanced T cell lymphoma
• Background: KIR3DL2 is a killer immunoglobulin‐like receptor that is expressed by tumor
cells across different subtypes of T‐cell lymphomas (> 85% of Sézary Syndrome (SS), ~50%
of mycosis fungoides (MF), and ~50% in peripheral T‐cell lymphomas (PTCL)).
• IPH4102 is a humanized first‐in‐class anti‐KIR3DL2 monoclonal antibody designed to deplete
KIR3DL2‐expressing cells via antibody‐dependent cell‐cytotoxicity (ADCC) and phagocytosis.

TELLOMAK: T cell lymphoma anti-‐KIR3DL2 Therapy: An open label, multi-cohort, multicenter, international Phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of IPH4102 alone or in combination with chemotherapy in patients with advanced T cell lymphoma
• A first‐in‐human study including 44 patients with relapsed/refractory cutaneous
T‐cell lymphoma (CTCL) showed that the drug is safe and has very robust
clinical activity.
• The majority of the patients enrolled had relapsed/refractory SS (n=35).
IPH4102 produced an overall response rate (ORR) of 42.9%, and median
progression free survival (PFS) of ~1 year leading to FDA fast track
designation in January 2019.
• IPH4102 has not been previously investigated in PTCL.
• Preclinical studies have shown that gemcitabine and oxaliplatin can
upregulate KIR3DL2 expression on T‐cell lymphoma cell lines.

TELLOMAK: T cell lymphoma anti-‐KIR3DL2 Therapy: An open label, multi-cohort, multicenter, international Phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of IPH4102 alone or in combination with chemotherapy in patients with advanced T cell lymphoma
• Open‐label, multi‐cohort, multi‐center, international phase II trial.
• Patients will be allocated to one of five cohorts:
◦ Cohort 1: SS,
◦ Cohorts 2&3: MF stratified according to KIR3DL2 expression,
◦ Cohorts 4&5: PTCL stratified according to KIR3DL2 expression.
• In the PTCL cohorts, IPH4102 will be administered using the same
schedule in combination with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin
(GEMOX), which will be administered every 2 weeks for a
maximum of 8 cycles.

practice-changing for the use of BV in clinical management of CD30+ CTCL patients requiring
systemic therapy. NICE approved
3. MAVORIC: Phase 3 MAVORIC trial (anti-CCR4; Mogamulizumab (POTELIGEO®) the largest phase
3 randomised study of systemic therapy in CTCL and the first to show clinically meaningful
advantage in SS and advanced advantage e systemic therapies using progression-free survival as a
primary endpoint. Awaiting NICE appraisal
4. TELLOMAK: T cell lymphoma anti-‐KIR3DL2 Therapy IPH4102 ORR of 42.9%, and median
progression free survival (PFS) of ~1 year leading to FDA fast track designation in January 2019.
Subtype-specific approaches: Conclusions
Speaker opinion
ALCL: ECHELON-2 practice changing
– ALCL ALK+: BV-CH-P > CHOP (?) > CHOEP
– ALCL ALK-: BV-CH-P > CHOP (?) > CHOEP
– Consolidation? ECHELON-2 doesn't really address this
– DUSP22 rearranged- analysis in ECHELON-2 is pending
PTCL-NOS, AITL: Beyond BV-CHP, CHOEP-still room for improvement
– BV-CHEP, ASCT
– Others targets –CHOP + X strategy +/-
• Lenalidomide – no clear advantage
• HDAC, hypomethylating – awaiting data
– JAK/STAT, PI3K, checkpoint inhibitors, others
– Likely subtype specific or tumor/target specific factors (NK/T)
CTCL and SS: Brentuximab Vedotin and Mogamulizumab approved
Remaining unmet needs in PTCL: Conclusions
• More effective options as initial treatment
• ALCL
– DUSP22 rearranged- analysis in ECHELON-2 is pending
• ASCT
– Unresolved without a clinical trial and clinical trial unlikely to be done
– Hopefully better initial therapy will remove the question
• PTCL-NOS, AITL – beyond BV-CHP, CHOEP, BV-CHEP, ASCT
– Others targets –CHOP + X strategy +/-• Len, HDAC, hypomethylating – awaiting data
– JAK/STAT, PI3K, checkpoint inhibitors, others– Immunotherapy/CAR-T
• Subtype specific or tumor/target specific factors most likely
