ADC Therapeutics Announces Updates on ZYNLONTA® LOTIS Clinical Trial Programs at the Eleventh Annual Meeting of the Society of Hematologic Oncology (SOHO 2023)

LOTIS-5: Updated safety run-in results from Phase 3 trial demonstrate 80% ORR, 50% CR rate and median DoR of 8 months with no new safety signals

LOTIS-7: Study design of trial evaluating ZYNLONTA® in patients with r/r non-Hodgkin lymphoma to be highlighted in poster; actively enrolling patients in bispecific combination arms

LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Aug. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ADC Therapeutics SA (NYSE: ADCT) today announced that two ZYNLONTA® (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl) abstracts have been accepted for presentation at the Eleventh Annual Meeting of the Society of Hematologic Oncology (SOHO 2023), which will be held in Houston, Texas from September 6-9, 2023.

“We are very pleased with the progress of our ongoing ZYNLONTA development programs. For LOTIS-5, the Phase 3 study evaluating the combination of ZYNLONTA with rituximab, we are encouraged by the updated safety run-in results being presented at SOHO 2023. The data show signs of durable responses in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and, importantly, no new safety signals,” said Mohamed Zaki, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of ADC Therapeutics. “As for the LOTIS-7 Phase 1b clinical trial that is evaluating ZYNLONTA in combination with other anticancer agents, the bispecific arms are actively enrolling patients, and we will be sharing more details about the study at SOHO 2023.”

Michal Kwiatek, MD, PhD, Medical Director, Centrum Medyczne Pratia Poznan, Skorzewo, Poland and lead author of the LOTIS-5 abstract, said, “Although still early, the updated data from the safety run-in of the LOTIS-5 study look promising. The combination of ZYNLONTA and rituximab is a systemic chemo-free regimen with a fixed treatment duration, making it an appealing alternative to continuous therapies.”

LOTIS-5 Safety Run-In Results:

LOTIS-5 is a Phase 3, randomized, open‐label, two‐part, two‐arm, multicenter study of loncastuximab tesirine in combination with rituximab (Lonca-R) in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). It is the confirmatory trial for accelerated approval for 3L+ and would also support potential label expansion into 2L+ in combination with rituximab. Twenty patients were enrolled in part 1 of a non-randomized safety run‐in. In part 2, approximately 330 patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive fixed-dose Lonca‐R or rituximab‐gemcitabine‐oxaliplatin (R‐GemOx).

The 20 patients in the safety run‐in were a median age of 74.5 years and had previously received a median of five cycles of Lonca-R and one previous therapy. As of the April 10, 2023, data cutoff:

  • Seven patients completed treatment and five continue in follow-up.
  • The overall response rate by central review was 16/20 (80%). A total of 10/20 (50%) and 6/20 (30%) patients attained complete and partial response, respectively.
  • The median duration of response was 8.0 months and the median progression-free survival was 8.3 months.
  • A total of 11 (55%) patients had grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). The most common grade ≥3 TEAEs were increased gamma-glutamyltransferase (5 patients [25%]) and neutropenia (3 patients [15%]).

These data will be presented in the following poster:

Updated Results of the Safety Run-in of the Phase 3 LOTIS-5 Trial: Novel Combination of Loncastuximab Tesirine With Rituximab (Lonca-R) Versus Immunochemotherapy in Patients With R/R DLBCL
Date and Time: Wednesday, September 6, 2023, 6:00-7:00PM CT
Location: George R. Brown Convention Center, Level 3, Grand Ballroom
Poster Number: ABCL-515

LOTIS-7:

Details of ADC Therapeutics’ poster highlighting the LOTIS-7 trial design are as follows:

Phase Ib Open-Label Study of Loncastuximab Tesirine in Combination With Other Anticancer Agents in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (LOTIS-7)
Date and Time: Wednesday, September 6, 2023, 6:00-7:00PM CT
Location: George R. Brown Convention Center, Level 3, Grand Ballroom
Poster Number: ABCL-134

LOTIS-7 is a multicenter and multi-arm study that will enroll approximately 200 patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in part 1 (dose escalation in approximately 60 patients) and part 2 (dose expansion in approximately 120 patients). Dosing arms include ZYNLONTA (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl) plus polatuzumab vedotin, as well as ZYNLONTA (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl) plus glofitamab and mosunetuzumab, t-cell-engaging bispecific monoclonal antibodies (BsAbs).

The bispecific combination arms of the LOTIS-7 trial are now actively enrolling patients with DLBCL, including transformed follicular lymphoma (FL), high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL) and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). Combining these agents with different mechanisms of action has the potential to have increased activity compared to either agent alone.

About ZYNLONTA® (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl)

ZYNLONTA® is a CD19-directed antibody drug conjugate (ADC). Once bound to a CD19-expressing cell, ZYNLONTA is internalized by the cell, where enzymes release a pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) payload. The potent payload binds to DNA minor groove with little distortion, remaining less visible to DNA repair mechanisms. This ultimately results in cell cycle arrest and tumor cell death.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) have approved ZYNLONTA (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) large B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified (NOS), DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma and also high-grade B-cell lymphoma. The trial included a broad spectrum of heavily pre-treated patients (median three prior lines of therapy) with difficult-to-treat disease, including patients who did not respond to first-line therapy, patients refractory to all prior lines of therapy, patients with double/triple hit genetics and patients who had stem cell transplant and CAR-T therapy prior to their treatment with ZYNLONTA. This indication is approved by the FDA under accelerated approval and in the European Union under conditional approval based on overall response rate and continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial. For complete prescribing information including important safety information, please see https://www.adctherapeutics.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/ZYLONTA-PI_October-2022_LOCKED.pdf.

ZYNLONTA is also being evaluated as a therapeutic option in combination studies in other B-cell malignancies and earlier lines of therapy.
