MIL62, a novel glycoengineered type Ⅱ anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, with a nearly completely afucosylated N-glycans in Fc region, has demonstrated superior activity compared with rituximab and obinutuzumab in vitro and in vivo, respectively.This multicentre, single-arm, phase 1b/2 trial aimed to explore the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety of MIL62 combined with lenalidomide in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). Eligible patients included those who had histopathologically confirmed CD20 positive FL (grade 1-3a) or MZL and failed to be treated with rituximab. Patients received intravenously infused MIL62 1000 mg (cycle 1: day 1, 15; cycles 2-8: day 1, cycles 10 and 12: day 1) combined with oral lenalidomide (once a day, days 2-22, the initial dose was 10 mg, and the maximum dose was 20 mg) for 12 cycles, 28 days as a cycle. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by investigator per Lugano 2014 criteria every 3 cycles. This study was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04110301).Between November 22, 2019 and December 22, 2020, 54 patients were enrolled from 11 hospitals in China and received study treatment. Fifty patients were included in the efficacy analysis set, and 43 patients (86%, 95% CI: 73, 94) achieved objective response, meeting the pre-specified primary endpoint. Disease control rate was 96% (48/50, 95% CI: 86, 100), proportion of patients with duration of response (DoR) > 6 months was 77% (33/43). The median follow-up for survival was 12.3 months (IQR 12.0-12.6). The 1-year progression-free survival rate was 72% (95% CI: 57, 83), 9-month DoR rate was 74% (95% CI: 58, 85), and 1-year overall survival rate was 98% (95% CI: 85, 100). Most common TRAEs were neutropenia (93%, 50/54), leukopenia (85% 46/54), thrombocytopenia (61% 33/54), lymphopenia (32% 17/54), and alanine aminotransferase increased (20% 11/54).MIL62 combined with lenalidomide showed promising efficacy in patients with R/R FL and MZL. A multicentre, randomized, open-label, phase Ⅲ trial of MIL62 combined with lenalidomide versus lenalidomide in anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody refractory FL patients is ongoing (NCT04834024).Beijing Mabworks Biotech Co.
