We are going to talk about:

• Risk adapted approach to DLBCL management.

• Tailoring therapy according to genotypes/phenotypes of DLBCL that have been explored to date.

• Is the Cell-of-Origin classification ready for therapeutic stratification?

Page 9: Treatment of DLBCL - oncologypro.esmo.org...• Scientific support from the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi ` Vitolo et al ASH 2016 and J Clin Oncol. 2017 Nov 1;35(31):3529-3537 Previously

We are NOT going to talk about:

• Approaches to particular anatomical sites (eg CNS, testis, bone..).

• Management of limited stage disease.

• The difficult problem of elderly patients with DLBCL, where physiology may reduce tolerability of immunochemotherapy.

• Those patients where co-morbidities may require modification of our standard approaches.

But how to distinguish phenotype?

Hans, C. P. et al. Blood 2004;103:275-282

► Getting it right is important when looking prospectively at therapy, not prognosis

► The immunophenotype is not that good:

► CD10+ (about 1/3), Mum-1-: Almost all GCB

► CD10- (2/3) hard to distinguish ABC from GCB on immuno’s

► Bcl-6 is a difficult stain

► Discordance with mRNA (~20%)

► Conflicting IHC datasets

► Lunenberg project demonstrates poor correlation between centres (technical and interpretative)

Is it possible to reverse the adverse outcomes of ABC DLBCL with bortezomib?...no

• The nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) pathway is constitutively activated in ABC DLBCL1

• The proteasome inhibitor bortezomib is a potent inhibitor of NF-ĸB2; may therefore have specific utility in non-GCB DLBCL and overcoming the negative prognosis associated with non-GCB phenotype3,4

Top line…

• 67.7% had ABC subtype.

• Ibr + RCHOP did not improve EFS in pts with non-GCB (by IHC) or ABC

(by GEP) DLBCL: (HR) for EFS was 0.934 (95%CI: 0.726-1.200) for non-GC

and 0.949 (95% CI, 0.704-1.279) for ABC

• SAEs were greater in the ibr + RCHOP vs pbo + RCHOP arm (53.1% vs

34.0%), particularly febrile neutropenia and pneumonia,

• In pts ≥ 65 yrs, there were more SAEs (67.4% vs 40.6%). In pts < 65 yrs,

A molecular precision approach to DLBCL?...almost

• Don’t think of DLBCL as one disease

• There are challenges in defining molecular sub-groups in a timely fashion and the appropriate diagnostic platform.

• Targeted therapies may potentially change the landscape of therapy for DLBCL...not yet. Next year it may be different.

• Much still needs to be proved and phase III studies are needed (no matter how difficult)…

• We need to better refine the molecular heterogeneity and to continue to better exploit our new knowledge of the biology.
