Error bars represent 25th & 75th percentiles. Paired t-test with Bonferroni correction to evaluate change from baseline: * p<0.005 and ‡ p<0.008.
• Some analytes previously reported to be decreased with duvelisib monotherapy treatment in relapsed/refractory iNHL were decreased in this untreated FL population (CCL17, CCL22, CXCL13, TNFα); modulation of these factors may impact tumor cell migration and recruitment of regulatory T cells10
• The decrease in serum chemokine and cytokine levels provides evidence of biological activity via modulation of the TME
• The CONTEMPO study (NCT02391545) is designed to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of duvelisib in combination with rituximab or obinutuzumab in previously untreated CD20+ Follicular Lymphoma (FL)
– Disease response assessments (CT scans and physical exams) on Day 1 of C4, C8, C12, C16, C20, and C26
• Mandatory prophylaxis for PJP was added in an amendment to the protocol
Part 1: Safety Lead-in• Patients enrolled in alternating fashion in one of two parallel treatment arms
– Arm 1: duvelisib 25 mg BID plus rituximab (DR) (n = 6) – Arm 2: duvelisib 25 mg BID plus obinutuzumab (DO) (n = 6)
DLTs: any of the following treatment-related events in Cycle 1

Conclusion
Study Design
• PI3K-δ and PI3K-γ isoforms are central to the growth and survival of certain B- and T-cell malignancies1-7
• Duvelisib (IPI-145), an oral dual inhibitor of PI3K-δ and PI3K-γ, is being developed for the treatment of hematologic malignancies
• Duvelisib disrupts PI3K-δ,γ-mediated signaling within tumor cells and their interactions with the tumor microenvironment (TME), hindering hematologic tumor cell survival8-9

DLT Results (Part 1 only)• 1 DLT occurred on the DO arm: Grade 3 elevated lipase on Day 8 of study treatment;
duvelisib interrupted, obinutuzumab continued, AE resolved, and patient continued treatment
• No DLTs occurred on the DR arm• Based on observed toxicities in Part 1, Part 2 was initiated for both treatment arms
PK Results (Part 1 only)• At C2D1, the mean duvelisib trough concentrations were 613 ng/mL (SD, 598)
(DO, n = 6) and 465 ng/mL (SD, 426) (DR, n = 6)• The C2D1 mean duvelisib trough concentrations are comparable to monotherapy, range
of 471 – 531 ng/mL (data from Phase 1 study)
Extent of Exposure (Part 1 and Part 2)• Median exposure to duvelisib on DR arm was 6.2 mo. (Range: 1-15 months) • Median exposure to duvelisib on DO arm was 6.1 mo. (Range: 1-14 months)
• The relative dose intensity of duvelisib for both arms was high (mean 87-91%)

• Duvelisib plus obinutuzumab – The most common ≥ Grade 3 AEs (>2 pts) were ALT increased (26%), neutropenia (22%), AST increased (15%), diarrhea and colitis (11%, each)
– The rate of infection was 56%, with 15% of events ≥ Grade 3: only 1 event of severe opportunistic infection (RSV pneumonia)
• Duvelisib plus rituximab – The most common ≥ Grade 3 AEs (>2 pts) were ALT increased (25%) diarrhea (14%), and AST increased, neutropenia, and rash (11%, each)
– AEs leading to duvelisib discontinuation were lipase increased (Grade 2, assessed as related) and hepatitis (Grade 4, assessed as related)
– The rate of infections was 46%, with 14% ≥ Grade 3: severe opportunistic infections in 2 pts (2 events of PJP pneumonia, and 1 ARDS due to CMV pneumonia); both pts with PJP were not receiving prophylaxis at the time events
• Encouraging preliminary results in first-line treatment of FL patients with duvelisib, an oral dual PI3K-δ,γ inhibitor, in combination with rituximab or obinutuzumab
• The safety lead-in phase completed successfully; 55 patients have been treated and enrollment has been terminated early by the sponsor
• Plasma concentrations of duvelisib with either combination were similar to duvelisib monotherapy, suggesting no drug-drug interaction
• The safety profile of duvelisib in combination with either obinutuzumab or rituximab in patients with front line FL is consistent with the previously established safety profile of duvelisib as monotherapy
• Preliminary clinical activity with duvelisib plus obinutuzumab (81% ORR, 23% CR) and duvelisib plus rituximab (93% ORR, 22% CR) is encouraging
• These preliminary results support the potential therapeutic benefit of duvelisib in combination with an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody as initial treatment for patients with FL
• Serum concentrations of 24 analytes were measured using Luminex xMAP Technologies
