Clinical trial experience with mTOR inhibitors in lymphoma

Reference Study Evaluable Patients ORR (CR + PR)
Relapsed/refractory MCL (and other lymphomas)

Everolimus [38] Phase II, single-arm, monotherapy (10 mg/day PO) MCL (n = 19)

Follicular grade 3 (n = 8)
Other lymphomas (n = 3)
MCL 32%
DLBCL 30%
Follicular grade III 38%
Other lymphomas 0%

Everolimus [39] Phase I/II single-arm, monotherapy (5 or 10 mg/day PO) MCL (n = 4)
Other hematologic malignancies (n = 23)
MCL 0%
Other 4%

Temsirolimus [40] Phase II, single-arm, monotherapy (250 mg IV weekly) MCL (N = 34) 38%

Temsirolimus [41] Phase II, single-arm, monotherapy (25 mg IV weekly) MCL (N = 27) 41%

Waldenström macroglobulinemia

Everolimus [44] Phase II, single-arm, monotherapy (10 mg/day) WM (N = 50) 42% (PR)

Hodgkin lymphoma

Everolimus [45] Phase II, single-arm, monotherapy (10 mg/day) HL (N = 19) HL 47%

GVHD

Sirolimus [46] Retrospective chart review, sirolimus conditioning (12 mg loading dose days 1-3, then 4 mg daily) vs standard conditioning GVHD prophylaxis after HSCT for lymphoma (N = 126)a Overall survival:
Sirolimus 66%
Standard conditioning 38%

Abbreviations: CR - complete response, DLBCL - diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, GVHD - graft-versus-host disease, HL - Hodgkin's lymphoma, HSCT - hematopoietic stem cell transplant, IV - intravenously, MCL - mantle-cell lymphoma, ORR - overall response rate, PO - orally, PR - partial response, WM - Waldenström macroglobulinemia.

aOverall survival reported as 3-year survival for patients receiving reduced intensity conditioning [46]
