Pirtobrutinib showed promising efficacy and safety as treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma, demonstrating the potential to serve an unmet medical need.

The interim analysis from the phase 3 KEYNOTE-204 study suggests pembrolizumab should be considered the preferred treatment option for patients with relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma over brentuximab vedotin.

Andrew M. Evens, DO, MSc, considered the data supporting brentuximab vedotin with chemotherapy for the treatment of a patient with peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

Scott R. Solomon, MD, discusses the adverse events and pharmacokinetics of lisocabtagene maraleucel in 12 patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who had previously received anti-CD19 therapy.

Primary results from the phase 3 CHRONOS-3 study revealed a survival benefit with the combination of copanlisib in combination with rituximab over rituximab plus placebo in patients with relapsed indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

While the treatment of relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma has seen novel approaches in recent years improving outcomes for many patients, high-risk patients develop progressive disease and have limited treatment options.

Assessing prognosis is an important step prior to treatment selection for a patient with classic Hodgkin lymphoma, explained Joseph Michael Tuscano, MD. Other steps aid in the treatment and management of toxicity.

The NCCN guidelines options available for patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL include gemcitabine/oxaliplatin with or without rituximab, polatuzumab vedotin with or without bendamustine and rituximab, or the combination of bendamustine and rituximab alone.

Tycel J. Phillips, MD, discusses the design and responses at 8 weeks in a phase 2 trial of parsaclisib in patients with relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma.

In relapsed and untreated patients with mantle cell lymphoma, the combination of obinutuzumab, ibrutinib, and venetoclax achieved molecular response rates and was found to be well tolerated, results from the phase 1/2 OAsIs trial demonstrate.

Administering corticosteroids prior to chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy with axicabtagene ciloleucel in adult patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma may positively impact the benefit/risk profile of axi-cel treatment.

The FDA has granted an accelerated approval to axicabtagene ciloleucel for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma who have received 2 or more prior lines of systemic therapy.

Pierluigi Porcu, MD, explained how the combination of brentuximab vedotin plus chemotherapy works in in frontline setting of Hodgkin lymphoma during a virtual Targeted Oncology Case-Based Roundtable event.

Alex F. Herrera, MD, discusses the use of the antibody-drug conjugate, camidanlumab tesirine for the treatment of relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma.

For the treatment of relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell lymphomas, chimeric antigen receptor–modified T-cell therapy is becoming more widely used. Still, little is known about outcomes for patients who receive CAR-modified T-cell therapy beyond 2 years.

Data from patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel showed that post-chimeric antigen receptor T outcomes may not correlate with responsiveness observed with treatment received immediately prior.

Anthony Mato, MD, MSCE, discusses an observational registry study of real-world prognostic biomarker testing, treatment patterns and treatment dosing in a pool of 1461 patients with either chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Early antitumor activity was seen with cord blood–derived natural killer immunotherapy in combination with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, according to early results from a phase 2 trial.

Treatment with axicabtagene ciloleucel is less likely to induce responses in patients with refractory large B-cell lymphoma who have never achieved a complete response to any line of prior therapy, according to findings from a single-center retrospective analysis.

A post-hoc analysis of the practice-changing TRANSCEND NHL 001 trial revealed that exposure to anti-CD19 therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma, did not impact response to lisocabtagene maraleucel.

The FDA has granted approval to lisocabtagene maraleucel a CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma who have received at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy.

The FDA has granted accelerated approval to umbralisib for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma who have received at least 1 prior regimen with anti-CD20 therapy, and for patients with follicular lymphoma who have received at least 2 prior systemic therapies.

A collaborative effort between Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and RWJBarnabas Health has led to the discovery and validation of the novel Burkitt Lymphoma International Prognostic Index, a model for prognostication of patients with Burkitt lymphoma.

During a Targeted Oncology Case-Based Peer Perspectives Roundtable, Swaminathan P. Iyer, MD, discussed FDA-approved therapy option for a patient with T-cell lymphoma.

During a Targeted Oncology Case Based Peer Perspectives Roundtable event, Loretta J. Nastoupil, MD, discussed the case of a 74-year-old patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
