This study analyzed the dynamics of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) following induction therapy. The results showed that patients with negative ctDNA after induction had longer survival, suggesting the potential of ctDNA as a prognostic biomarker. This supports further investigation into the use of ctDNA for response-adapted strategies in MCL.
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is biologically and clinically heterogeneous and would benefit from prognostic biomarkers to guide management. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a novel prognostic biomarker in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that may have applicability in MCL. We analyzed ctDNA dynamics in previously untreated patients with MCL who received induction therapy with bortezomib and DA-EPOCH-R for 6 cycles followed by random assignment to observation or bortezomib maintenance in responding patients in a prospective phase 2 study. Most patients also underwent initial treatment window of bortezomib alone prior to induction. Serum was collected pretreatment, after the window, after cycles 1 and 2, at the end of induction, and at each follow-up visit along with restaging computed tomography scans. Next-generation sequencing was used to identify and quantify ctDNA encoding the immunoglobulin receptor sequences in serum as markers of minimal residual disease. Fifty-three patients were enrolled, with a median follow-up of 12.7 years. Patients without detectable ctDNA after 2 cycles of induction had longer progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared with those with detectable ctDNA (median PFS, 2.7 vs 1.8 years; overall P = .005; median OS, 13.8 vs 7.4 years; overall P = .03). Notably, in vivo assessment of ctDNA dynamics during the bortezomib window was not prognostic, and there was no difference in PFS or OS with bortezomib maintenance. ctDNA monitoring after induction showed that molecular relapse preceded clinical relapse in some cases. In conclusion, interim ctDNA negativity strongly correlates with improved survival and supports the investigation of response-adapted strategies.
