The primary analysis of MAGNOLIA, an open-label, single-arm, multicenter, phase 2 study, demonstrated that the next-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor zanubrutinib provided a high overall response rate (ORR) in patients with relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma (R/R MZL), with a favorable safety/tolerability profile. Presented here is the final analysis of MAGNOLIA, performed to characterize the durability of response and longer-term safety and tolerability. Zanubrutinib (160 mg twice daily) was evaluated in 68 patients with R/R MZL who had received at least 1 anti-CD20-directed regimen. The primary endpoint was independent review committee (IRC)-assessed ORR. Secondary endpoints included investigator-assessed ORR, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), health-related quality of life, safety, and tolerability. With a median follow-up of 27.4 months, the IRC-assessed ORR was 68.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 55.6%-79.1%), with a 24-month DOR event-free rate of 72.9% (95% CI, 54.4%-84.9%). PFS and OS at 24 months were 70.9% (95% CI, 57.2%-81.0%) and 85.9% (95% CI, 74.7%-92.4%), respectively. The zanubrutinib safety profile was consistent with the primary analysis, with no new safety signals observed. Atrial fibrillation/flutter (n = 2 [2.9%]) and hypertension (n = 3 [4.4%]) were uncommon. Neutropenia (n = 8 [11.8%]) was the most common grade ≥3 adverse event. In this final analysis of MAGNOLIA, zanubrutinib demonstrated sustained clinical responses beyond 2 years, with 73% of responders alive and progression-free. Zanubrutinib continued to demonstrate a favorable safety/tolerability profile with the additional time on treatment. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03846427. |
