Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Body Mass Index, and Cytokine Polymorphisms: A Pooled Analysis from the InterLymph Consortium.
2015
Abstract Background: Excess adiposity has been associated with lymphomagenesis, possibly mediated by increased cytokine production causing a chronic inflammatory state. The relationship between obesity, cytokine polymorphisms, and selected mature B-cell neoplasms is reported. Method: Data on 4,979 cases and 4,752 controls from nine American/European studies from the InterLymph consortium (1988–2008) were pooled. For diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), joint associations of body mass index (from self-reported height and weight) and 12 polymorphisms in cytokines IL1A (rs1800587), IL1B (rs16944,…
Residual Abdominal Lymphadenopathy after Intensive Frontline Chemoimmunotherapy Is Associated with Inferior Outcome Regardless of MRD Status in Advan…
2018
Abstract Introduction: In CLL, chemoimmunotherapies (CIT) and combinations with novel agents have proven to be highly effective with regard to eradication of minimal residual disease (MRD), while complete remissions (CR) are frequently not achieved due to residual lymphadenopathy. We have previously reported that minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity after CIT is a prognostic factor irrespective of the clinical response (Kovacs et al., JCO 2016). Because inferior outcome was observed in small subgroups of patients (pts) with residual lymphadenopathy, we analyzed the prognostic value of residual lymphadenopathy after CIT in comparison to MRD detection in a larger pt population. Methods: …

Associations of ofatumumab exposure and treatment outcomes in patients with untreated CLL receiving chemoimmunotherapy
2016
Relationships between patient characteristics, ofatumumab pharmacokinetics, and treatment outcomes were investigated in this phase 2 trial of ofatumumab plus fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) in untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive 500 or 1000 mg ofatumumab (Cycle 1; 300 mg) plus FC every 4 weeks for six cycles. Median C(max) and C(trough) values were similar at Cycle 1 regardless of the ultimate clinical outcome. At later doses, these values were higher for patients with complete response (CR) than for other patients. Higher C(max) and C(trough) values at Cycles 3 and 6 were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of CR, whereas …
Genetic overlap between autoimmune diseases and non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes.
2019
International audience; Epidemiologic studies show an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in patients with autoimmune disease (AD), due to a combination of shared environmental factors and/or genetic factors, or a causative cascade: chronic inflammation/antigen-stimulation in one disease leads to another. Here we assess shared genetic risk in genome-wide-association-studies (GWAS). Secondary analysis of GWAS of NHL subtypes (chronic lymphocytic leukemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and marginal zone lymphoma) and ADs (rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and multiple sclerosis). Shared genetic risk was assessed by (a) description of regional g…
Centre characteristics and procedure-related factors have an impact on outcomes of allogeneic transplantation for patients with CLL: a retrospective …
2017
Abstract Introduction:Even in the era of novel targeted therapies for the treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) patients, such as BTK, PI3K and BCL2 inhibitors, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (alloHCT) will remain an important treatment option for a subset of patients with very high risk CLL. The current study focused on the impact of center and procedure-related factors on outcomes after alloHCT, taking into account the impact of patient- and disease-related risk factors. Patients and Methods:Data of 684 CLL patients who received a first alloHCT between 2000 and 2011 were analyzed. Their data were collected as part of the EBMT CLL Data Quality Initiative. Out…

Cryptochrome-1 expression: a new prognostic marker in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia
2008
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is an adult-onset leukemia with a heterogeneous clinical behavior. When chronic lymphocytic leukemia cases were divided on the basis of IgVH mutational status, widely differing clinical courses were revealed. Since IgVH sequencing is difficult to perform in a routine diagnostic laboratory, finding a surrogate for IgVH mutational status seems an important priority. In the present study, we proposed the use of Cryptochrome- 1 as a new prognostic marker in early-stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Seventy patients (Binet stage A, without treatment) were included in the study. We correlated Cryptochrome-1 mRNA with well established prognostic markers such as IgVH mu…
Host Genetic Background and Risk of Richter Syndrome: The Genotype of LRP4 Is An Independent Predictor of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Transformation…
2009
Abstract Abstract 2340 Poster Board II-317 Richter syndrome (RS) represents the transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to aggressive lymphoma, most commonly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Mechanisms and risk factors of CLL transformation to RS are known only in part. This study aimed at exploring the role of the host genetic background in RS transformation and was based on a consecutive series of 331 CLL, of which 21 had transformed to RS (all clonally related to the CLL clone). Twenty eight additional cases of clonally related RS were also collected for validation purposes. Using an educated guess approach, SNPs were selected according to the following criteria: i) re…
Differentiation on Biological Basis of Monoclonal B-Cell Lymphocytosis (MBL) From Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL): Results of a Prospective GISL (…
2010
Abstract Abstract 1360 The arbitrary cut-off of 5000/μL chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)-phenotype cells in peripheral blood is generally used to separate monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL) from CLL. However, a major concern is the biological differentiation, if any, between MBL and CLL. We tried to address the issue therefore analyzing 261 Rai stage 0 patients enrolled in a Gruppo Italiano Studio Linfomi (GISL) prospective multicentre trial designed to validate biological parameters in early CLL as well as to assess the impact on clinical outcome of an early versus delayed policy of treatment with subcutaneous alemtuzumab in the high biological risk. In this cohort, biological charact…
