However, few studies of novel agents inform its management, particularly when relapsed after or refractory (R/R) to prior treatment. We prospectively evaluated ibrutinib monotherapy in pathologically documented patients with R/R tDLBCL in a single-arm study. The primary endpoint was overall response rate. Twenty patients who had received a median of 4 (range, 2-9) prior lines of therapy overall (median, 2.5; range, 1-9 for tDLBCL) were treated. The overall response rate was 35%, including complete responses in 15%. The median progression-free survival and overall survival were 4.1 months (95% confidence interval, 2.4-6.2 months) and 22.4 months (95% confidence interval, 7.5 months to not reached), respectively. Disease control > 2 months was seen in 75% and > 1 year in 15%. Response was associated with either low tumor bulk or low metabolic tumor volume (P= .05) but not with antecedent lymphoma histology (P= 1.0). Treatment-related adverse events were consistent with prior studies of ibrutinib. Ibrutinib showed low toxicity and meaningful efficacy in R/R tDLBCL, including short-term disease control in most cases. Results demonstrate the potential utility of ibrutinib in this challenging clinical setting, including as a potential bridge to more definitive treatments.

We compared disease characteristics, therapies offered and received, and outcomes between older (>75 years) and younger (60-75 years) women with breast cancer (BC) from a regional database in Ontario, Canada. BC surgical cases from 12 hospitals were
