Clinical outcomes of newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma treated with ibrutinib‐based combination therapy: A real‐world experience of off‐label ibrutinib use

Our real‐world experience demonstrated the clinical benefit of the ibrutinib‐based combination therapy in treating newly diagnosed PCNSL patients, in complement to the activity of the drug combination reported for relapse/refractory PCNSL. Our data also underscored the clinical significance of liquid biopsy including cerebrospinal fluid ctDNA in tracing tumor burden and evaluating treatment response.


Abstract

Ibrutinib‐based combination therapy with high‐dose methotrexate (HD‐MTX) has recently shown clinical activity against relapse/refractory (R/R) primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Herein, we report our real‐world experience of treating 11 newly diagnosed PCNSL patients with the ibrutinib/MTX combination. HD‐MTX was given at 3.5 g/m2 every 2‐week for eight doses. Ibrutinib was held upon HD‐MTX infusion until clearance and was administered daily post‐induction until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or death. Nine out of 11 patients completed the induction phase and received ibrutinib as maintenance therapy. An objective response rate (ORR) of 82% (9/11) was observed including complete response (64%) and partial response (18%). The median progression‐free survival (PFS) was 7.4 months while the median overall survival (OS) was not reached. The ibrutinib/MTX combination was well tolerated in these treatment‐naïve PCNSL pa tients with an acceptable safety profile. Moreover, the longitudinal analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) revealed that CSF ctDNA detection was closely associated with tumor response, and sustained tumor responses correlated with the clearance of ctDNA from the CSF. In sum, our data not only demonstrated the clinical benefit of the ibrutinib and HD‐MTX combination regimen in treating newly diagnosed PCNSL patients in a real‐world setting, but also highlighted the significance of liquid biopsy including CSF ctDNA in tracing tumor burden and assessing treatment response.
