背景:早期滤泡性淋巴瘤的主要治疗方法是局部放疗,具有抗CD20单克隆抗体(mAb)的可能作用。我们旨在使用可测量的残留病(MRD)驱动的方法评估这些治疗的效果。
方法:这种前瞻性,多中心,2期试验在意大利FondazioneItalianaLinfomi(FIL)的27个中心进行.符合条件的参与者是新诊断的成年人(≥18岁),经组织学证实的滤泡性淋巴瘤(I或II期;I-IIIa级)。患者最初在12天内接受24Gy参与场放射治疗;放疗后或随访期间MRD阳性的患者接受了八次静脉内剂量(每剂量1000mg;每周一剂量)抗CD20mAbofatumumab。主要终点是受累场放疗后MRD阳性和ofatumumab治疗后MRD阴性的患者比例。如果患者在外周血或骨髓样本中登记时对BCL2::IGH重排呈阳性,则将其包括在主要终点分析人群中。MRD阳性定义为外周血或骨髓中BCL2::IGH重排的持久性,由FILMRD网络的实验室集中评估。该试验已在EudraCT注册,2012-001676-11.
结果:在2015年5月2日至2018年6月1日之间,我们招募了110名参与者,其中106人(96%)符合条件,并接受了涉及领域放疗.其中,105(99%)是白人,一个(1%)是黑人,50人(47%)为男性,56(53%)为女性。在105名BCL2::IGH状态可评估的参与者中,32(30%)在基线处具有可检测的BCL2::IGH重排。放疗后,30例患者中有12例(40%)达到MRD阴性状态,其中三个(25%)是长期的(至少36或42个月)。放疗后MRD阳性的患者,Ofatumumab在25例可评估患者中的23例(92%;95%CI74-99)诱导MRD阴性.在中位随访46·1个月(IQR42·8-50·8)后,这23名患者中有14名(61%)仍处于完全缓解状态,且MRD阴性。最常见的3-4级不良事件是输液相关反应,在四名患者中观察到。
结论:局部放疗通常与滤泡性淋巴瘤的根除无关。MRD驱动的,抗CD20单克隆抗体整合使几乎所有患者都能达到分子缓解,并且随着时间的推移与复发率降低相关.因此提出了MRD驱动的巩固的临床优势。

BACKGROUND: The mainstay of treatment for early-stage follicular lymphoma is local radiotherapy, with a possible role for anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb). We aimed to evaluate the effect of these treatments using a measurable residual disease (MRD)-driven approach.
METHODS: This prospective, multicentre, phase 2 trial was conducted at 27 centres of the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) in Italy. Eligible participants were adults (≥18 years) with newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed follicular lymphoma (stage I or II; grade I-IIIa). Patients were initially treated with 24 Gy involved-field radiotherapy over 12 days; those who were MRD-positive after radiotherapy or during follow-up received eight intravenous doses (1000 mg per dose; one dose per week) of the anti-CD20 mAb ofatumumab. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who were MRD-positive after involved-field radiotherapy and became MRD-negative after ofatumumab treatment. Patients were included in the primary endpoint analysis population if they were positive for BCL2::IGH rearrangement at enrolment in peripheral blood or bone marrow samples. MRD positivity was defined as the persistence of BCL2::IGH rearrangement in peripheral blood or bone marrow, assessed centrally by laboratories of the FIL MRD Network. The trial was registered with EudraCT, 2012-001676-11.
RESULTS: Between May 2, 2015, and June 1, 2018, we enrolled 110 participants, of whom 106 (96%) were eligible and received involved-field radiotherapy. Of these, 105 (99%) were White, one (1%) was Black, 50 (47%) were male, and 56 (53%) were female. Of 105 participants in whom BCL2::IGH status was evaluable, 32 (30%) had a detectable BCL2::IGH rearrangement at baseline. After radiotherapy, 12 (40%) of 30 patients reached MRD-negative status, which was long-lasting (at least 36 or 42 months) in three (25%). In those who were MRD-positive after radiotherapy, ofatumumab induced MRD-negativity in 23 (92%; 95% CI 74-99) of 25 evaluable patients. After a median follow-up of 46·1 months (IQR 42·8-50·8), 14 (61%) of these 23 patients remain in complete response and are MRD-negative. The most common grade 3-4 adverse events were infusion-related reactions, observed in four patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Local radiotherapy is frequently not associated with the eradication of follicular lymphoma. An MRD-driven, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody consolidation enables molecular remission to be reached in almost all patients and is associated with a reduced incidence of relapse over time. A clinical advantage of an MRD-driven consolidation is therefore suggested.
