Inhibitors of BTK and ITK: state of the new drugs for cancer, autoimmunity and inflammatory diseases.
    Scandinavian journal of immunology, 2013, Volume: 78, Issue:2

    BTK and ITK are cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases of crucial importance for B and T cell development, with loss-of-function mutations causing X-linked agammaglobulinemia and susceptibility to severe, frequently lethal, Epstein-Barr virus infection, respectively. Over the last few years, considerable efforts have been made in order to develop small-molecule inhibitors for these kinases to treat lymphocyte malignancies, autoimmunity or allergy/hypersensitivity. The rationale is that even if complete lack of BTK or ITK during development causes severe immunodeficiency, inactivation after birth may result in a less severe phenotype. Moreover, therapy can be transient or only partially block the activity of BTK or ITK. Furthermore, a drug-induced B cell deficiency is treatable by gamma globulin substitution therapy. The newly developed BTK inhibitor PCI-32765, recently renamed Ibrutinib, has already entered several clinical trials for various forms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma as well as for multiple myeloma. Experimental animal studies have demonstrated highly promising treatment effects also in autoimmunity. ITK inhibitors are still under the early developmental phase, but it can be expected that such drugs will also become very useful. In this study, we present BTK and ITK with their signalling pathways and review the development of the corresponding inhibitors.

A phase II study of ibrutinib in combination with rituximab-cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin hydrochloride-vincristine sulfate-prednisone therapy in Epstein-Barr virus-positive, diffuse large B cell lymphoma (54179060LYM2003: IVORY study): results of the fina
    Annals of hematology, 2020, Volume: 99, Issue:6

    Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positivity in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) provokes a critical oncogenic mechanism to activate intracellular signaling by LMP1. LMP1 specifically mimics the role of BTK-dependent B cell receptor. Therefore, a trial considering RCHOP therapy along with ibrutinib (I-RCHOP) in combination was conducted among patients with EBV-positive DLBCL. This study was an open-label, single-arm, prospective multicenter phase II clinical trial. Patients received 560 mg of ibrutinib with RCHOP every 3 weeks until 6 cycles were completed or progression or unacceptable toxicity was observed. The primary endpoint was objective response, while secondary endpoints included toxicity, progression-free survival, and overall survival. A matched case-control analysis was completed to compare the efficacy and toxicity of I-RCHOP and RCHOP, respectively, in EBV-positive DLBCL patients. From September 2016 to August 2019, 24 patients proven to have EBV-positive DLBCL in the tissue were enrolled and received I-RCHOP. Their median age was 58 years (range, 28-84 years). The objective overall response was 66.7%, including 16 patients who achieved complete response after 6 cycles. Patients aged younger than 65 years presented a superior OR (87.5%) as compared with those older than 65 years (25.0%; p = 0.01). In a matched case-control study, I-RCHOP therapy provoked a more favorable complete response rate (87.3%) than did RCHOP (68.8%) in those younger than 65 years. Treatment-related mortality was linked most frequently with I-RCHOP therapy (four patients presented with unusual infection without Gr3/4 neutropenia) in the older age group (age ≥ 65 years). In conclusion, in this phase II trial for EBV-positive DLBCL, I-RCHOP was effective but did not show a significant improvement in response and survival in comparison with RCHOP. Also, I-RCHOP promoted serious toxicity and treatment-related death in older patients.

Successful treatment of Epstein-Barr virus-associated primary central nervous system lymphoma due to post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder, with ibrutinib and third-party Epstein-Barr virus-specific T cells.
    American journal of transplantation : official journal of the American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, 2021, Volume: 21, Issue:10

    Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) occurring following organ transplantation (post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder [PTLD]) is a highly aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is typically treated with high-dose methotrexate-based regimens. Outcomes are dismal and clinical trials are lacking. It is almost always Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) associated. Two patients (CA1-2) presented with EBV-associated PCNSL after renal transplant. CA1 was on hemodialysis and had prior disseminated cryptococcus and pseudomonas bronchiectasis, precluding treatment with methotrexate. CA2 was refractory to methotrexate. Both were treated off-label with the first-generation Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib for 12 months. Cerebrospinal fluid penetration at therapeutic levels was confirmed in CA1 despite hemodialysis. Both patients entered remission by 2 months. Sequencing confirmed absence of genetic aberrations in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I/II and antigen-presentation/processing genes, indicating retention of the ability to present EBV-antigens. Between Weeks 10 and 13, they received third-party EBV-specific T cells for consolidation with no adverse effects. They remain in remission ≥34 months since therapy began. The strength of these findings led to an ongoing phase I study (ACTRN12618001541291).
