Abstract

Background Bruton tyrosine kinase is a clinically validated target in mantle cell lymphoma. Acalabrutinib (ACP-196) is a highly selective, potent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor developed to minimise off-target activity.Methods In this open-label, phase 2 study, oral acalabrutinib (100 mg twice per day) was given to patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was overall response assessed according to the Lugano classification, and safety analyses were done in all participants. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02213926.Findings From March 12, 2015, to Jan 5, 2016, 124 patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma were enrolled and all patients received treatment; median age 68 years. Patients received a median of two (IQR 1-2) previous therapies. At a median follow-up of 15·2 months, 100 (81%) patients achieved an overall response and 49 (40%) patients achieved a complete response. The Kaplan-Meier estimated medians for duration of response, progression-free survival, and overall survival were not reached; the 12-month rates were 72% (95% CI 62-80), 67% (58-75), and 87% (79-92%), respectively. The most common adverse events were primarily grade 1 or 2 and were headache (47 [38%]), diarrhoea (38 [31%]), fatigue (34 [27%]), and myalgia (26 [21%]). The most common grade 3 or worse adverse events were neutropenia (13 [10%]), anaemia (11 [9%]), and pneumonia (six [5%]). There were no cases of atrial fibrillation and one case of grade 3 or worse haemorrhage. The median duration of treatment was 13·8 months. Treatment was discontinued in 54 (44%) patients, primarily due to progressive disease (39 [31%]) and adverse events (seven [6%]).Interpretation Acalabrutinib treatment provided a high rate of durable responses and a favourable safety profile in patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma. These findings suggest an important role for acalabrutinib in the treatment of this disease population.Funding Acerta Pharma, a member of the AstraZeneca Group.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
