Chimeric Antigen Receptor-Engineered T-Cells - A New Way and Era for Lymphoma Treatment.

2019

Background: Patients with refractory or relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma have a poor prognosis with the current standard of care. Objective: Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cells (CAR T-cells) are functionally reprogrammed lymphocytes, which are able to recognize and kill tumor cells. The aim of this study is to make progress in this area. Method: A mini-review was achieved using the articles published in Web of Science and PubMed in the last year and the new patents were made in this field. Results: The responses to CAR T-cell products axicabtagene ciloleucel and tisagenlecleucel are promising; the objective response rate can reach up to 83%, and the complete response rate ranges betwee…

HSP110 sustains chronic NF-κB signaling in activated B cell diffuse large B cell lymphoma through MyD88 stabilization

2018

International audience; Activated B cell diffuse large B cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL) is an aggressive lymphoproliferative disorder involving chronic NF-κB activation. Several mutations in the BCR and the MyD88 signaling pathway components, such as MyD88 L265P, are implicated in this aberrant activation. Among heat-shock proteins, HSP110 has recently been identified as a pro- survival and/or proliferation factor in many cancers but its role in ABC-DLBCL survival mechanisms remained to be established. We observed that shRNA-mediated HSP110 silencing decreased the survival of several ABC-DLBCL cell lines, decreased IgM-MyD88 co-localization and subsequent NF-κB signaling. Conversely, over-expres…

mTOR inhibition in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: new hope?

Phase 2 study of the bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) antibody blinatumomab in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

2015

Few patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) achieve prolonged disease-free survival. Blinatumomab, a bispecific T-cell engaging antibody construct, transiently links CD3-positive T cells to CD19-positive B cells. This phase 2 study evaluated stepwise (9-28-112 μg/d with weekly dose increases; n = 23) or flat (112 μg/d; n = 2) dosing of blinatumomab by continuous infusion, with dexamethasone prophylaxis, in patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL. Patients received a median of 3 prior lines of therapy. Median time since last regimen was 1.5 months. Seventeen patients ended treatment in cycle 1 (induction), 7 in cycle 2 (consolidation), and 1 in retreatment. Am…

Genetically Determined Height and Risk of Non-hodgkin Lymphoma

2020

Although the evidence is not consistent, epidemiologic studies have suggested that taller adult height may be associated with an increased risk of some non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) subtypes. Height is largely determined by genetic factors, but how these genetic factors may contribute to NHL risk is unknown. We investigated the relationship between genetic determinants of height and NHL risk using data from eight genome-wide association studies (GWAS) comprising 10,629 NHL cases, including 3,857 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), 2,847 follicular lymphoma (FL), 3,100 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and 825 marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) cases, and 9,505 controls of European ancestry. We …

Phase 1b/3 study of avelumab-based combination regimens in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL).

2017

TPS7575 Background: Approximately 50% of patients (pts) with advanced DLBCL are refractory to or relapse following first line R-CHOP therapy. Pts with R/R DLBCL have limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. This study assesses immunotherapy-based regimens containing avelumab (a fully human IgG1 anti–PD-L1 antibody) in combination with utomilumab (a novel 4-1BB agonist), azacitidine, rituximab, and/or conventional chemotherapy (CT; bendamustine) in pts with R/R DLBCL. Methods: JAVELIN DLBCL (NCT02951156) is a global, multicenter, randomized, open-label, 2-component(phase 1b followed by phase 3) study of avelumab-based combination regimens in R/R DLBCL. In phase 1b, up to 84 pts will …

Dissection of DLBCL microenvironment provides a gene expression-based predictor of survival applicable to formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue

2018

Abstract Background Gene expression profiling (GEP) studies recognized a prognostic role for tumor microenvironment (TME) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), but the routinely adoption of prognostic stromal signatures remains limited. Patients and methods Here, we applied the computational method CIBERSORT to generate a 1028-gene matrix incorporating signatures of 17 immune and stromal cytotypes. Then, we carried out a deconvolution on publicly available GEP data of 482 untreated DLBCLs to reveal associations between clinical outcomes and proportions of putative tumor-infiltrating cell types. Forty-five genes related to peculiar prognostic cytotypes were selected and their expression …

Predictive and Prognostic Molecular Factors in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphomas.

2021

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the commonest form of lymphoid malignancy, with a prevalence of about 40% worldwide. Its classification encompasses a common form, also termed as “not otherwise specified” (NOS), and a series of variants, which are rare and at least in part related to viral agents. Over the last two decades, DLBCL-NOS, which accounts for more than 80% of the neoplasms included in the DLBCL chapter, has been the object of an increasing number of molecular studies which have led to the identification of prognostic/predictive factors that are increasingly entering daily practice. In this review, the main achievements obtained by gene expression profiling (with respect t…

B-MIND: MOR208 plus bendamustine (BEN) versus rituximab (RTX) plus BEN in patients with relapsed or refractory (R-R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (D…

2017

TPS7571 Background: Patients ineligible for stem cell transplantation (SCT) or who relapse after SCT, and those who fail to respond to second-line or salvage chemotherapy, represent an unmet medical need for which new therapeutic strategies are required. MOR208 is a novel Fc-enhanced, humanized, monoclonal antibody directed against CD19. Significant single-agent activity of MOR208 in patients with R-R DLBCL (Jurczak et al., J Clin Oncol 34, 2016 [suppl; abstr 7545]) and enhancement of MOR208-mediated cytotoxicity by BEN in preclinical studies, provide a strong rationale to study MOR208 + BEN in patients with R-R DLBCL. Methods: B-MIND is a randomized (1:1), two-arm, multicenter, open-label…
