TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION Lenalidomide (Revlimid; CC-5013) is a small molecule immunomodulatory drug and a structural analogue of thalidomide. Its mechanism of action is yet to be defined but includes antineoplastic, anti-angiogenic, pro-erythropoietic and immunomodulatory properties1. In clinical trials, lenalidomide was administered orally at 10mg or 25mg, once daily for 21 days of a 28 day cycle2 . Lenalidomide is licensed in the EU for multiple myeloma (in combination with dexamethasone) and myelodysplastic syndromes. Recognised adverse effects (≥10%) include infections, thrombocytopenia, neutropenias, anaemia, haemorrhage, leucopenias, hypokalaemia, decreased appetite, peripheral neuropathies, dizziness, tremor, dysgeusia, headache, blurred vision, venous thromboembolic events, dyspnoea, nasopharyngitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, epistaxis, constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, rashes, dry skin, pruritus, muscle spasms, bone pain, musculoskeletal and connective tissue pain and discomfort, arthralgia, myalgia, fatigue, oedema, pyrexia and influenza-like illness syndrome3. Lenalidomide is also in phase III clinical trials for: • chronic lymphocytic leukaemia • diffuse large B-cell lymphoma • follicular lymphoma • multiple myeloma • myelodysplastic syndromes • prostate cancer and in phase II trials for: • acute myeloid leukaemia, • T-cell leukaemia-lymphoma • chronic lymphocytic leukaemia • glioblastoma • myelofibrosis • non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma INNOVATION and/or ADVANTAGES If licensed, lenalidomide will provide an additional treatment option for this patient group. DEVELOPER Celgene. 2 NIHR Horizon Scanning Centre AVAILABILITY, LAUNCH OR MARKETING In phase III clinical trials. PATIENT GROUP BACKGROUND MCL is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) affecting B lymphocytes in the lymph nodes4. The most common symptoms are one or more painless swellings in the neck armpit or groin, caused by enlarged lymph nodes5,6. Usually, more than one group of nodes is involved, and other areas of the body may also be affected, such as the bone marrow, bowel, stomach, liver or spleen5. Other systemic symptoms, known as B-cell symptoms, may occur in some people, including loss of appetite and weight loss, fatigue, night sweats and fevers5,6. MCL has an aggressive course with a pattern of resistant and relapsing disease, which typically renders it incurable with current standard pharmaceutical therapy7. NHS or GOVERNMENT PRIORITY AREA This topic is relevant to: Improving Outcomes: A Strategy for Cancer (2011). CLINICAL NEED and BURDEN OF DISEASE NHL is the sixth most common cancer in the UK8, with 10,875 new diagnoses in England and Wales in 20109. MCL accounts for around 3-10% of all NHLs (equating to around 326- 1,087 new diagnoses in England and Wales). Diagnosis peaks at around age 65, patients are predominantly male (male to female ratio of around 4:1)4 and the majority present with advanced disease6. The one- and five-year survival rates for MCL are 71% and 27%, respectively10. Around 50-70% of patients respond to treatment, however MCL typically progresses and the median survival is around 3 years11. In 2011-12, there were 178 hospital admissions for MCL (ICD-10: C83.1) in England, accounting for 182 finished consultant episodes and 395 bed days12, and in 2011, there were 236 deaths registered in England and Wales13.

EXISTING COMPARATORS and TREATMENTS Treatment for MCL is dependent on stage, grade, performance status and whether or not patients are eligible for stem cell or bone marrow transplant6,7. There is no standardised treatment and entry into a clinical trial is recommended for eligible patients7,18. Current options include5,6,7,18: • Combination chemotherapy regimens ° R-CHOP – vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, prednisolone and rituximab ° FC-R – fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab ° FCM-R – fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone and rituximab ° R-HCVAD – cytarabine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, dexamethasone and rituximab (for younger patients) ° R-maxi-CHOP/H Ara-C – vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, prednisolone and rituximab (for younger patients) ° Single chemotherapies may be offered – bendamustine, chlorambucil, cyclophosphamide, fludarabine (with or without rituximab) • Bone marrow or stem cell transplant (intensive chemotherapy in combination with stem cell transplant is considered standard of care in younger relapsed patients19 • Radiotherapy EFFICACY and SAFETY Trial SPRINT, NCT00875667, CC-5013-MCL- EMERGE, NCT00737529, CC-5013- 002; lenalidomide vs clinician’s choice of MCL-001; lenalidomide; phase II. single agent; phase II.

Several clinical trials of ibrutinib treatment combined with dexamethasone (DXMS) for relapsed MM have demonstrated high response rates, however, the mechanism still remains unclear. In this study, we explored the therapeutic effect and mechanism of ibrutinib combined with DXMS on MM in vitro and vivo. The apoptosis of MM cell lines and mononuclear cells from MM patients’ bone marrow induced by ibrutinib combined with DXMS was detected by flow cytometry and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western blot.

To learn more about how cancers start and spread, see What Is Cancer?1 Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells. Normal plasma cells are found in the bone marrow and are an important part of the immune system.

Lymphocytes (lymph cells) are one of the main types of white blood cells in the immune system and include T cells and B cells. Lymphocytes are in many areas of the body, such as lymph nodes, the bone marrow, the intestines, and the bloodstream. When B cells respond to an infection, they mature and change into plasma cells. Plasma cells make the antibodies (also called immunoglobulins) that help the body attack and kill germs. Plasma cells, are found mainly in the bone marrow.

Here we report a 71 years old male patient with an aggressive MCL and depict the clonal evolution from initial diagnosis of typical MCL to relapsed blastoid MCL. During the course of disease, the patient was diagnosed with Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL), and received CHL therapeutic regimen. Molecular analysis by next generation sequencing of both MCL and CHL demonstrated clonally related CHL with characteristic immunophenotype and PDL1/2 gains. Moreover, our data illustrate the clonal heterogeneity and acquisition of additional genetic aberrations including a rare fusion of SEC22B-NOTCH2 in the process of clonal evolution.

Chemo-immunotherapy remains widely used as frontline MCL treatment with multiple targeted therapies available for relapsed disease. The Bruton’s tyrosine kinase in- hibitors (BTKi) ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, and zanubrutinib achieve objective responses in the majority of patients as single agent therapy for relapsed MCL, but differ with regard to toxicity profile and dosing schedule. Lenalidomide and bortezomib are likewise approved for relapsed MCL and are active as monotherapy or in combination with other agents. Venetoclax has been used off-label for the treatment of relapsed and refractory MCL, however data are lacking regarding the efficacy of this approach particularly following BTKi treatment. Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies have emerged as highly effective therapy for relapsed MCL, with the CAR-T treatment brexucabtagene autoleucel now approved for relapsed MCL. In this review the authors summarize evidence to date for currently approved MCL treatments for relapsed disease including Citation: Bond, D.A; Martin, P.; sequencing of therapies, and discuss future directions including combination treatment strategies Maddocks, K.J Relapsed Mantle Cell and new therapies under investigation.
