Refractory/Relapsed DLBCL: Therapy for “Non-Transplant Candidates”

• Poor disease control and substantial morbidity.

• Goal is generally palliative • Gemcitabine based• Low dose oral chemotherapy• “hyperfractionated cytoxan”• Rituximab• Radiation

• New drugs

Brentuximab Vedotin: Mechanism of Action

Brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35) antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)

monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), potent antitubulin agent

protease-cleavable linker

anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody

ADC binds to CD30

MMAE disruptsmicrotubule network

ADC-CD30 complex traffics to lysosome

MMAE is released

Apoptosis

G2/M cell cycle arrest

• In terms of response, ALK (+) = ALK (–)• “B” symptom resolution = 82%• Peripheral neuropathy = 38% (median time to resolution 5.4

weeks)

PCI-32765: A Novel Small Molecule Inhibitor of Btk in the BCR Pathway

• Forms a specific and irreversible bond with cysteine-481 in Btk

• Potent Btk inhibition

• IC50 = 0.5 nM

• Orally available

• Once daily dosing results in 24-hr sustained target inhibition
