Abstract
ABSTRACT: Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a rare complication of solid organ transplantation, and cytotoxic chemotherapy is associated with treatment-related morbidity and mortality. Current treatment takes a sequential, risk-stratified approach, and patients with low-risk disease after initial immunotherapy can avoid escalation to immunochemotherapy. TIDaL is a prospective, single-arm phase 2 trial investigating the activity and tolerability of ibrutinib combined with risk-stratified therapy for first-line treatment of PTLD. Eligible patients were adults with newly diagnosed CD20+ B-cell PTLD after solid organ transplant and performance status 0 to 2. Initial treatment comprised 49 days of ibrutinib 560 mg once daily, with 4 doses of weekly rituximab. Treatment response on interim scan and baseline International Prognostic Index were used to allocate patients to either a low-risk arm (who continued ibrutinib, alongside 4 further doses of 3-weekly rituximab) or high-risk (escalation to rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone [R-CHOP] immunochemotherapy, with ibrutinib continuing in patients aged <65 years). The primary outcome was complete response on interim scan, achieved by 11 of 38 patients (29%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 15-46). This did not reach the prespecified threshold for clinically significant activity. Secondary outcomes included allocation to the low-risk arm (41% of patients), 2-year progression-free survival (58%; 95% CI, 44-76), and 2-year overall survival (76%; 95% CI, 63-91). Adverse events were mostly hematological, gastrointestinal, and infective. Although TIDaL does not support adding ibrutinib into first-line treatment of PTLD, increasing the proportion of patients who can be treated without cytotoxic chemotherapy remains an important aim of future research. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #ISRCTN32667607.
