Temsirolimus is an mTOR inhibitor with single-agent antitumor activity in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). We therefore tested the efficacy and toxicity of temsirolimus in combination with rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory MCL. Patients received temsirolimus 25 mg intravenously weekly while on study. Four weekly doses of rituximab 375mg/m2 were given during the first cycle followed by a single dose of rituximab every other 28-day cycle thereafter. Responding patients after six cycles could continue treatment for a total of 12 cycles and were then observed without additional maintenance therapy. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with either rituximab-sensitive or rituximab-refractory disease who had a partial response or better. The analyses were done on all patients who received treatment. The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00109967. Seventy-one patients were enrolled between May 2005 and March 2009. Sixty-nine patients are evaluable and are included in the final analysis. Patients had received a median of two prior therapies (range, 1-9), 30·4% (21/69) had received a prior stem cell transplant and 30·4% (21/69) were rituximab-refractory. The overall response rate (ORR) was 59·4% (41/69 patients) with 18·8% (13/69) complete responses and 40·6% (28/69) partial responses. The ORR for rituximab-sensitive patients was 62·5% (30/48; 95% CI 47·4-76·1%) and 52·4% (11/21; 95% CI 29·8 – 74·3%) for rituximab-refractory patients. The most common treatment-related grade 3-4 adverse events were thrombocytopenia in 16 patients (23·2%), neutropenia in 15 (21·7%), fatigue in 10 (14·5%), pneumonia in 7 (10·1%), lymphopenia in 7 (10·1%), pneumonitis in 5 (7·2%), dyspnea in 5 (7·2%) and hypertriglyceridemia in 5 (7·2%). mTOR inhibitors in combination with rituximab could have a role in the treatment of patients with relapsed and refractory MCL.
