LYMPHOMAS

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.

The FDA granted approval to the antineoplastic tyrosine kinase inhibitor, crizotinib, as treatment of pediatric patients 1 year of age and older and young adults with ALK alteration-positive relapsed or refractory systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

The investigational selective JAK1 inhibitor, DZD4205, led to anti-tumor activity when given as treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma , according to results from the phase 1/2 JACKPOT8 clinical trial.

During a Targeted Oncology Case-Based Peer Perspectives event, Haifaa Abdulhaq, MD, director, Hematology, and associate clinical professor of Medicine at UCSF Fresno discussed the case of a 63-year-old patient with lymphoma with concurrent MYC and BCL2 rearrangements.

David J. Andorsky, MD, discusses the findings from a subgroup analysis of patients with relapsed/refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma over the age of 70 in the phase 3b MAGNIFY clinical trial.

Tycel J. Phillips, MD, discusses the current treatment options for patients with marginal zone lymphoma.

The FDA granted approval to rituximab-arrx, a biosimilar to rituximab as treatment of adult patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and microscopic polyangiitis.

Jia Ruan, MD, PhD, discusses the results of the multicenter phase 2 trial of oral azacitidine plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone as initial treatment in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma.

A phase 1 trial showed early signals of tolerability and efficacy in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma with TRPH-222 across dose levels.

In older patients with comorbid classical Hodgkin lymphoma who are deemed unfit for combination chemotherapy, treatment with the antibody dug conjugate brentuximab vedotin appeared tolerable and achieved high response rates that were durable in some patients, according to results from the phase 2 SGN35-015 study.

Patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphomas treated with glofitamab in the phase 1 NP30179 study, had a significant rate of complete responses.

The combination of brentuximab vedotin and nivolumab demonstrated activity in patients with previously untreated Hodgkin lymphoma who had comorbidities in a phase 2 clinical trial, despite the trial not meeting its prespecified criteria for activity.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Nirav N. Shah, MD, discussed the findings from the phase 1 study of a CAR T-cell therapy dual targeting CD19 and CD20 as treatment of patients with B-cell lymphomas.
