Real world evidence results from RE-MIND2 study of Monjuvi + Revlimid for diffuse large B cell lymphoma.
These treatments include polatuzumab vedotin plus bendamustine and rituximab (Pola-BR), rituximab plus lenalidomide (R2), and CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies.
Findings from the RE-MIND2 study presented at ASH 2021 indicated that tafasitamab plus lenalidomide resulted in statistically significant differences across several endpoints. Specifically, results showed: i.The primary endpoint, overall survival (OS), was met with significant improvement observed for tafasitamab plus lenalidomide at 20.1 months compared to Pola-BR at 7.2 months (p=0.038), and 24.6 months for tafasitamab plus lenalidomide compared to 7.4 months for R2 (p=0.014). ii. A comparable median OS benefit was observed with tafasitamab plus lenalidomide at 22.5 months compared to CAR-T at 15 months without statistical significance. iii. Objective response rate (ORR), a key secondary endpoint, was observed with statistical significance for tafasitamab plus lenalidomide at 63.6% versus R2 at 30.3% (p=0.013). iv. Tafasitamab plus lenalidomide also achieved significantly higher complete response rate (CR), a key secondary endpoint, at 39.4% versus 15.2% for R2 (p=0.0514).
While safety endpoints were not included in this study, the most common adverse events (AEs) associated with tafasitamab plus lenalidomide are feeling tired or weak, diarrhea, cough, fever, swelling of lower legs or hands, respiratory tract infection and decreased appetite. Of 3,454 patients enrolled from 200 sites, 106, 106 and 149 patients were treated with pol-BR, R2 and CAR-T, respectively. For the comparative analysis, matched patient pairs were created using 1:1 nearest neighbor matching with a caliper. Matched pairs consisted of: tafasitamab + len vs pol-BR, n=24 pairs; vs R2, n=33; and vs CAR-T, n=37 pairs. The data, which builds on the primary analysis presented at the 2021 Annual Meeting of the Society of Hematologic Oncology (SOHO 2021), will be presented as an oral presentation at the 63rd American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition (ASH 2021).
