(Pubmed Central) - Jul 2, 2023 Finally, considering that NMA and SUCRA work for single endpoints only, we performed a principal component analysis to recapitulate in a cartesian plane the SUCRA profiles of each schedule according to the results obtained in each sub-analysis, confirming again the superiority of aCD20/BTKi or BCL2i combinations in a first-line setting. Overall, here we demonstrated that: (1) a chemotherapy-free regimen, such as the combination of aCD20 with a BTKi or BCL2i, should be the preferred treatment choice despite biological/molecular characteristics (preferred regimen O-acala); (2) there is less and less room for chemotherapy in the first line treatment of CLL.

Biomarker, Journal: Pharmacogenomic Analyses Implicate B Cell Developmental Status and MKL1 as Determinants of Sensitivity toward Anti-CD20 Monoclonal Antibody Therapy. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 2, 2023 To identify genetic factors that may influence sensitivity to treatment, the cytotoxic activity of three CD20 mAbs: rituximab; ofatumumab; and obinutuzumab, were screened in high-throughput assays using 680 ethnically diverse lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) followed by a pharmacogenomic assessment...Results suggest that the efficacy of anti-CD20 mAb therapy may be influenced by B cell developmental status as well as polymorphism in the MKL1 gene. A clinical benefit may be achieved by pretreatment with corticosteroids such as prednisolone followed by mAb therapy.

Recent radical changes in the therapeutic landscape for CLL have led to current global treatment guidelines recommending the use of various highly effective targeted agents as frontline therapy,1,2 displacing previous chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) regimens such as fludarabine/ cyclophosphamide/rituximab (FCR)...In the late 1980's, three functionally similar agents related to purine nucleoside analogues entered clinical development; deoxycoformycin (DCF), 2-chlorodeoxy-adenosine (cladribine; 2-CdA) and 2-F-ara-adenosinemonophosphate (fludarabine; F). The first major report of F in relapsed/refractory CLL by Keating was truly remarkable in describing a 13% CR rate (overall response rate 57%).3 Cheson summarized this period as a "therapeutic beauty contest" among the three agents, that F ultimately emerged from victorious and became the foundational agent for subsequent combination development.4 As a single agent in frontline CLL, F improved PFS compared to chlorambucil (20 vs 14 months) and attained a CR rate of 20%.5 Elegant work in Plunkett's lab at MD Anderson established the synergy between F and DNA-damaging agents such as cyclophosphamide via inhibition of DNA repair,6 and at least 3 frontline trials have shown the superiority of the FC combination over single agent F, with CR rates as high as 39%, but modest overall survival impact.7 The new century brought the first therapeutic monoclonal antibody in cancer (rituximab; antiCD20) to be bravely applied in CLL by Byrd and O'Brien showing modest single agent activity, developing a safe infusion schedule to mitigate reactions, and establishing a dose response curve above the standard 375 mg/m2 lymphoma dose.8 Further laboratory studies showed bi-directional synergistic cytotoxicity with FC and R, both directly and through reduction in levels of surface complement defense proteins by F, and reduction in anti-apoptotic BCL2 protein levels by R.9 The resultant FCR regimen was pioneered at MD Anderson10 and subsequently shown in randomized trials in both frontline and relapse settings to deliver improved overall survival compared to FC and attain CR rates of up to 72% and the unprecedented attainment of uMRD (<10
