Making the decision to treat WM

  • There is NO one standard of care regimen.
  • Does the patient meet the criteria for symptomatic

disease?

  • How urgent is response needed?

‐ immediate vs. non‐immediate

  • Are there any high‐risk features?

‐ no agreement in non‐urgent pts ‐ Flow cytometry can identify poor prognostic goups in both smoldering WM and symptomatic WM

  • Is the patient a potential candidate for stem cell

transplant?

What is MYD88?

  • An adaptor molecule in toll-like receptor (TLR) and interleukin-

1 receptor signaling (IL-1R)

  • Recruited to an activated receptor complex leading to

activation of several intermediate proteins resulting ultimately in activation of NF-kB

  • NF-kB: transcription factor
  • regulates survival of normal and malignant B-cells
  • targets genes that enhance survival, inhibit

apoptosis and limit activity of pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family

  • necessary for growth and survival of WM cells
  • Knockdown model of MYD88 interrupts NF-kB signaling with

apoptosis of 2 different WM cell lines

MYD88‐Directed NF‐κB Signaling.

Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK)

  • Ogden Bruton, U.S. Navy pediatrician described in 1952 a

rare X-linked immunodeficiency in children characterized by virtual absence of B cells and circulating immunoglobulin

  • The gene mutated, BTK, was cloned and characterized in

1993

  • Member of the TEC family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases
  • Essential for transmission of mitogenic signals from the B-

cell receptor, which is responsible for the generation and maintenance of B lymphocytes

IBRUTINIB: Small Molecule Inhibitor of BTK

  • Inactivates BTK through covalent

binding to cysteine-481 near the ATP binding domain of BTK.

  • Orally

bioavailable with daily dosing resulting in 24-hr target inhibition.

  • Blocks IkBa and NFKB p65

signaling in WM cells.

  • Induces apoptosis of MYD88

L265P expressing WM cells in preclinical studies.

Toll‐like Receptors (TLRs)

TLRs consist of a family of 10 members that are part of the normal human innate immunity against bacteria, viruses and fungi and will activate the host immune defenses, specifically generating NF‐kB. All but TLR3 require MYD88 as an adaptor molecule. Of this family, TLRs 7,8 and 9 are located in the endosome rather than on the cell surface and in humans are expressed on dendritic cells and B‐cells Over activation of the TLR signaling pathway represents an autonomous activation resulting in a malignant phenotype and

  • ccurs in cells expressing the MYD88 L265P mutation. Blocking of

this pathway results in decreased cell survival as demonstrated in mutated WM cell lines and WM patient cell lines vs wild‐type control lines and in pre‐clinical models.

17

Toll‐like Receptors (TLRs)

MYD88 signaling for NF‐kB can occur through dual mechanisms:

  • a. TLR signaling
  • b. BCR pathway through BTK (antigen mediated)

Both mechanisms are dysregulated by the MYD88 L265P mutation IMO‐8400 is an oral, small molecule that is an antagonist for the receptor that mediates activation of TLR7, 8 and 9
