Subcutaneous Veins Depth Estimation Method Using Monte Carlo Simulations
2015
International audience; Subcutaneous veins localization is basic and important step for any intravenous medication administration. Due to different physiological characteristics, mainly darker skin tone, scars or dehydrated condition of patients, medical staff face difficulty in veins localization. Through near infrared imaging technology the veins can be visualized due to high contrast between veins and skin tissue in this modality. Information on the depth of veins is equally important for proper catheterization or venipuncture procedures. Patients have different veins depth due to the different amount of fat present in the subcutaneous layer. The depth of veins from the skin surface cann…
Heavy-Ion Microbeam Studies of Single-Event Leakage Current Mechanism in SiC VD-MOSFETs
2020
Heavy-ion microbeams are employed for probing the radiation-sensitive regions in commercial silicon carbide (SiC) vertical double-diffused power (VD)-MOSFETs with micrometer accuracy. By scanning the beam spot over the die, a spatial periodicity was observed in the leakage current degradation, reflecting the striped structure of the power MOSFET investigated. Two different mechanisms were observed for degradation. At low drain bias (gate and source grounded), only the gate-oxide (at the JFET or neck region) is contributing in the ion-induced leakage current. For exposures at drain–source bias voltages higher than a specific threshold, additional higher drain leakage current is observed in t…
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,…
Durability of complete response after blinatumomab therapy for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
2020
Despite advances in standards of care, the prognosis of relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains poor. In these patients, 50–74% fail to respond to next line therapy,...
Safety of the Anti-CD19 antibody Tafasitamab in Long Term Responders from A Phase II Trial for Relapsed Lymphoma
2022
Abstract Background: Information about the long-term tolerability of tafasitamab is still limited. Methods: 5 of 92 patients treated within a phase IIa study of single-agent tafasitamab in relapsed or refractory B NHL were followed for up to five years or longer for long-term tolerability. Results: Treatment was very well tolerated in an outpatient setting with no hospitalizations needed and mild and tolerable adverse events that occurred mostly within the first two years of treatment. Conclusions: Given the excellent tolerability and efficacy of tafasitamab this agent can be used to induce remission in relapsed or refractory lymphoma either alone or in combination with chemotherapy.

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…
A Phase IIa, Open-Label, Multicenter Study of Single-Agent Tafasitamab (MOR208), an Fc-Optimized Anti-CD19 Antibody, in Patients with Relapsed or Ref…
2019
Background: CD19 is broadly and homogeneously expressed across different B-cell malignancies and represents an attractive target antigen in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Tafasitamab (MOR208) is an Fc-enhanced, humanized, anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody. This ongoing study is investigating the single agent antitumor activity in adult patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) NHL who had received at least one prior rituximab-containing therapy. Patients and Methods: The study enrolled 92 r/r NHL patients: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL; n=35), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL; n=12), follicular lymphoma (FL; n=34), or other indolent NHL (iNHL; n=11). The median number of pr…
Tafasitamab Plus Lenalidomide Versus Pola-BR, R2, and CAR T: Comparing Outcomes from RE-MIND2, an Observational, Retrospective Cohort Study in Relaps…
2021
Abstract Background Several therapies are recommended by NCCN/ESMO guidelines for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT)-ineligible patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In the single-arm, Phase II L-MIND study (NCT02399085), the chemotherapy-free regimen tafasitamab + lenalidomide (LEN) demonstrated efficacy for this patient population. In the absence of randomized clinical trial data, RE-MIND2 (NCT04697160), an observational, retrospective cohort study, compared patient outcomes from L-MIND with matched patient populations treated with NCCN/ESMO recommended therapies for ASCT-ineligible patients with R/R DLBCL. Methods Data were retrospectively col…
