库潘尼西联合利妥昔单抗和苯达莫司汀治疗不适合移植的复发/难治性弥漫大 B 细胞淋巴瘤患者：来自 Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) 的 II 期多中心 FIL Copa-BR 试验结果

Treatment options for relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapy remain limited. The PI3K inhibitor copanlisib has shown activity as a single agent in DLBCL. This phase II, single-arm, multicentre trial evaluated copanlisib with rituximab and bendamustine (copa-BR) in ASCT- and CAR-T-ineligible R/R DLBCL. Patients received six cycles of copa-BR, followed by up to 12 cycles of copanlisib maintenance. The primary end-point was 12-month progression-free survival (PFS). Thirty-seven patients (aged 68-87 years, R/R after 1-2 prior lines) were enrolled.

The overall response rate was 24. 3%, with complete responses in 13. 5%. After a median follow-up of 20 months, the 12-month PFS and overall survival rates were 25. 1% and 44. 5% respectively. Grade 3 toxicities included neutropenia (56. 8%), infections (27. 0%, including 6 death due to COVID-19 infection with 25% fatality) and thrombocytopenia (16.

2%). Due to limited efficacy, poor tolerability and emerging alternative treatments, the trial was terminated prematurely. Copa-BR showed limited activity and an unfavourable safety profile, discouraging further investigation of this combination in ASCT- and CAR-T-ineligible R/R DLBCL.
