Abstract

Purpose In this phase II study (NCT00942747), temsirolimus was tested in patients with relapsed or refractory primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL). Patients and Methods Immunocompetent adults with histologically confirmed PCNSL after experiencing high-dose methotrexate-based chemotherapy failure who were not eligible for or had experienced high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem-cell transplant failure were included. The first cohort (n = 6) received 25 mg temsirolimus intravenously once per week. All consecutive patients received 75 mg intravenously once per week. Results Thirty-seven eligible patients (median age, 70 years) were included whose median time since their last treatment was 3.9 months (range, 0.1 to 14.6 months). Complete response was seen in five patients (13.5%), complete response unconfirmed in three (8%), and partial response in 12 (32.4%) for an overall response rate of 54%. Median progression-free survival was 2.1 months (95% CI, 1.1 to 3.0 months). The most frequent Common Toxicity Criteria >= 3 degrees adverse event was hyperglycemia in 11 (29.7%) patients, thrombocytopenia in eight (21.6%), infection in seven (19%), anemia in four (10.8%), and rash in three (8.1%). Fourteen blood/CSF pairs were collected in nine patients (10 pairs in five patients in the 25-mg cohort and four pairs in four patients in the 75-mg cohort). The mean maximum blood concentration was 292 ng/mL for temsirolimus and 37.2 ng/mL for its metabolite sirolimus in the 25-mg cohort and 484 ng/mL and 91.1 ng/mL, respectively, in the 75-mg cohort. Temsirolimus CSF concentration was 2 ng/mL in one patient in the 75-mg cohort;in all others, no drug was found in their CSF. Conclusion Single-agent temsirolimus at a weekly dose of 75 mg was found to be active in relapsed/refractory patients with PCNSL;however, responses were usually short lived.
