Progression Free Survival by the Revised Response Criteria
Progression-free survival (PFS) was calculated as the time from the date of the first dose of blinatumomab until the date of diagnosis of progression of lymphoma using the Revised Response Criteria (2007), or date of death, whichever was earliest. Participants who were alive and did not have progression were censored at the last radiological non-missing evaluable tumor assessment date.

Progression Free Survival Using the Lugano Classification
Progression-free survival was calculated as the time from the date of the first dose of blinatumomab until the date of diagnosis of progression of lymphoma using the Lugano 2014 classification, or date of death, whichever was earliest. For diagnosis of progression of lymphoma, the progression of radiographic assessment of PET-CT using the Lugano Classification was used. Participants who were alive and did not have progression were censored at the last radiological non-missing evaluable tumor assessment date. Progressive disease per the Lugano criteria is a score of 4 or 5 on the 5PS with an increase in intensity of uptake from baseline and/or new FDG-avid foci consistent with lymphoma.
Overall Survival
Overall survival (OS) was calculated as the time from the date of first dose of blinatumomab until death due to any cause. Participants who were alive at the analysis date were censored at the date last known to be alive.
Duration of Response Response for Participants Who Achieved CR/PR Using the Revised Response Criteria
Duration of response (DOR) was calculated from the date a response of CR or PR was first achieved until the earliest date of a disease assessment indicating a disease progression or death, whichever occurred first. Participants who did not have a relapse event were censored on their last radiological non-missing evaluable tumor assessment date.
Duration of Response for Participants Who Achieved CR/PR Using the Lugano Classification
The duration of response (DOR) was calculated from the date a response of CR or PR was first achieved until the earliest date of a disease assessment indicating a disease progression using the Lugano classification or death, whichever occurred first. Participants who did not have a relapse event were censored on their last radiological non-missing evaluable tumor assessment date.
Blinatumomab Steady State Concentration
Serum blinatumomab concentrations were quantified using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for the assay is 50 pg/mL. The steady-state concentration (Css) of serum blinatumomab was summarized as the average of the observed concentrations collected after 24 hours from the start of continuous IV infusion or start of the dose step. For calculation of Css at 9 µg/day and 28 µg/day dosing, participants in all cohorts were combined.
Blinatumomab Clearance
Systemic clearance (CL) was calculated as CL=R0/Css,DN; where R0 is the infusion rate (μg/hr) and Css,DN is the dose normalized average Css.
Pembrolizumab Peak Plasma Concentration
Pembrolizumab serum concentrations were quantified using a validated electro-chemiluminescent-based immunoassay with a lower limit of quantification of 25 ng/mL.
Pembrolizumab Minimum Plasma Concentration
Pembrolizumab serum concentrations were quantified using a validated electrochemiluminescent-based immunoassay with a lower limit of quantification of 25 ng/mL.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of blinatumomab in combination with pembrolizumab in adults with relapsed or refractory (r/r) DLBCL.
Detailed Description
The study was planned as 2 parts: Part 1 will test the safety of up to 3 different blinatumomab target dose levels in combination with pembrolizumab in a rolling 6 design. A Dose Level Review Team (DLRT) will review the safety data to evaluate possible drug effects and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Part 2 will consist of an expansion cohort to assess pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and preliminary efficacy data at the chosen target dose. The part 2 dose will be determined by the totality of the clinical data from part 1 as determined by the DLRT. Based on the results from Part 1, a decision was made not to proceed with Part 2 of this study. Secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of blinatumomab in combination with pembrolizumab. Tumor response will be evaluated according to the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma (Cheson et al, 2007). With implementation of Protocol Amendment 5, response will also be assessed according to the Lugano Classification (Cheson et al, 2014). Only participants enrolled after implementation of Protocol Amendment 5 (03 December 2019) will have tumor assessments using the Lugano criteria.

The duration of response (DOR) was calculated from the date a response of CR or PR was first achieved until the earliest date of a disease assessment indicating a disease progression using the Lugano classification or death, whichever occurred first. Participants who did not have a relapse event were censored on their last radiological non-missing evaluable tumor assessment date.
Time Frame
Up to the data cut-off date of 17 November 2020; Maximum time on follow-up for DOR was 1 month.
Title
Blinatumomab Steady State Concentration
Description
Serum blinatumomab concentrations were quantified using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for the assay is 50 pg/mL. The steady-state concentration (Css) of serum blinatumomab was summarized as the average of the observed concentrations collected after 24 hours from the start of continuous IV infusion or start of the dose step. For calculation of Css at 9 µg/day and 28 µg/day dosing, participants in all cohorts were combined.
Time Frame
Day 2 for 9 µg/day Css (all cohorts), days 10, 15, 22, 29, and 43 for 28 µg/day Css (Cohort Ia), day 10 for 28 µg/day Css (Cohorts IIa and IIIa), and days 19, 26, and 40 for 56 µg/day and 112 µg/day Css (Cohorts IIa and IIIa respectively).
Title
Blinatumomab Clearance
Description
Systemic clearance (CL) was calculated as CL=R0/Css,DN; where R0 is the infusion rate (μg/hr) and Css,DN is the dose normalized average Css.
Time Frame
Day 2 for 9 µg/day Css (all cohorts), days 10, 15, 22, 29, and 43 for 28 µg/day Css (Cohort Ia), day 10 for 28 µg/day Css (Cohorts IIa and IIIa), and days 19, 26, and 40 for 56 µg/day and 112 µg/day Css (Cohorts IIa and IIIa respectively).
Title
Pembrolizumab Peak Plasma Concentration
Description
Pembrolizumab serum concentrations were quantified using a validated electro-chemiluminescent-based immunoassay with a lower limit of quantification of 25 ng/mL.
Time Frame
Pembrolizumab cycle 1 day 1 (study day 15 for Cohort Ia, study day 19 for Cohorts IIa and IIIa) and cycle 8 day 1 (study day 162 for Cohort Ia and day 166 for Cohorts IIa and IIIa) within approximately 30 minutes after the end of the infusion.
Title
Pembrolizumab Minimum Plasma Concentration
Description
Pembrolizumab serum concentrations were quantified using a validated electrochemiluminescent-based immunoassay with a lower limit of quantification of 25 ng/mL.
Time Frame
Pre-dose on pembrolizumab cycles 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 (Study days 36, 78, 120, 162, and 246, respectively for Cohort Ia and study days 40, 82, 124, 166, and 250, respectively, for Cohorts IIa and IIIa)
