Abstract
The frontline immuno-chemotherapy regimen for HIV-associated non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is dose-adjusted EPOCH ± R (etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and rituximab). Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), caused by vincristine, is a common adverse effect of EPOCH ± R, negatively impacting long-term patient outcomes. The primary objective of this study was to determine the incidence of CIPN, stratified by HIV status, in patients treated with EPOCH ± R. A retrospective cohort study at a tertiary referral comprehensive cancer center evaluated patients treated with EPOCH ± R from 2011 to 2018. The final sample included 27 patients with HIV compared to 279 without HIV (total n = 306). Overall, the incidence of CIPN was 29.4% (n = 90), including 5 with HIV (18.5%) and 85 without HIV (30.5%). Propensity scores were used to match patients by HIV status. Although no relationship was found between HIV status and neuropathy, CIPN affects too many undergoing treatments for lymphoma, supporting future investigations to minimize toxicities.

Abstract
ABSTRACT MYC-aberrant non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is associated with poor outcomes with conventional chemotherapy. Ixazomib is an orally bioavailable proteasome inhibitor that targets drivers of MYC expression and has demonstrated preclinical activity in aggressive MYC-aberrant NHL. We conducted a phase 1/2 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of DA-EPOCH-R with adjunctive ixazomib in aggressive MYC-aberrant NHL. For induction, patients received 6 cycles of DA-EPOCH-R with ixazomib administered twice per 21-day cycle; responders continued weekly ixazomib maintenance for up to 1 year. Primary objectives were to determine the maximum tolerated dose in phase 1 and efficacy of DA-EPOCH-R with ixazomib as measured by 12-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate in phase 2. Thirty-six patients were evaluable for response. Median age was 63 years (range, 31-77) and 44% had double-hit lymphoma (DHL)/triple-hit lymphoma (THL). In phase 1, 3 mg of ixazomib was established as recommended phase 2 dose. Twenty-nine (76.3%) patients completed 6 cycles of DA-EPOCH-R and 25 (65.8%) underwent dose escalations. The ORR after induction was 97% (95% confidence interval, 81-100) with a CR rate of 69%. At median follow-up of 18.8 months, the 12-month PFS and overall survival (OS) rates were 78% and 86%, respectively. For DHL/THL vs dual expressor lymphomas (DEL), 12-month PFS rates were 53% vs 95% and 12-month OS rates were 65% vs 100%, respectively. Grade ≥3 toxicities were predominantly hematologic. Twenty-seven (75%) of patients experienced neuropathy, nearly all low-grade. DA-EPOCH-R induction with adjunctive ixazomib is feasible and appears effective in patients with DEL. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02481310.
