Chemoimmunotherapy remains the standard 1L therapy for FL but is associated with limitations, including early progression and complications such as infections and secondary cancers.1 The MITHIC-FL1 trial aims to explore a chemotherapy-free treatment option, challenging traditional 1L chemoimmunotherapy.1 MITHIC-FL1 is a phase II trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of fixed-duration SC mosunetuzumab, a CD20xCD3 bispecific antibody, monotherapy in patients with ND FL (dosed, n = 78; response evaluable, n = 76).1 Primary analysis results from this trial were presented at the 66th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition by Falchi.1 The primary endpoint was CR rate per Lugano response criteria.1 |
Key learnings |
With a median follow-up of 13.3 months and a median treatment duration of 4.8 months, 86% of patients experienced a reduction in tumor burden of ≥80% from baseline. |
The ORR was 96%, with a CR rate of 80%. The 1-year PFS and OS rates were 91% and 98.7%, respectively. CR was maintained at 1 year in 90% of patients who achieved a CR. |
Most TEAEs and CRS events were mild and manageable. Low grade injection site reactions (70%), infections (56%), and CRS events (54%) were the most common TEAEs, with the majority being Grade I events. |
Overall, efficacy and safety data from the MITHIC-FL1 study suggest that mosunetuzumab monotherapy could be a viable treatment option for patients with ND FL and warrant further investigation of SC mosunetuzumab in comparative 1L FL trials. |
