Head and Neck Lymphomas in HIV Patients: a Clinical Perspective

2017

Introduction Because of the many HIV-related malignancies, the diagnosis and treatment of lymphoma in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus are challenging. Objective Here, we review current knowledge of the pathogenesis, epidemiology, symptomatology, diagnosis, and treatment of head and neck lymphomas in HIV patients from a clinical perspective. Data Synthesis Although Hodgkin's lymphoma is not an AIDS-defining neoplasm, its prevalence is ten times higher in HIV patients than in the general population. NHL is the second most common malignancy in HIV patients, after Kaposi's sarcoma. In this group of patients, NHL is characterized by rapid progression, frequent extranodal inv…

Transplantation in follicular lymphoma: not "yes or no" but "whom and when".

2013

After years of debate, the question as to what is the optimal use of transplantation strategies in indolent lymphoma remains controversial. In the July issue of Haematologica, a study was published by the EBMT Lymphoma Working Party that aims to define indications for hematopoietic stem cell

Late Non-Relapse Mortality (NRM) after Standard-of-Care (SOC) CAR-T Cell Therapy for Large B-Cell Lymphoma (LBCL): Frequency, Causes, and Risk Factor…

2021

Abstract Introduction Although the labeled CD19 targeting CAR-T cell constructs axi-cel and tisa-cel are generally associated with an acceptable safety profile, non-relapse deaths can occur. Little is known about timing, causes and predictors of NRM following SOC CAR-T cell therapy for LBCL. Here, we analyzed frequency, causes, and risk factors of non-relapse deaths with focus on late NRM (beyond 4 weeks after dosing) using registry data provided by the DRST, the national partner of the EBMT. Methods Patients were selected from 356 consecutive patients who received SOC CAR-T treatment of LBCL between November 2018 and April 2021 at 21 German centers and were registered with the DRST/EBMT. B…

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…

SARS‐CoV ‐2‐reactive antibody detection after SARS‐CoV ‐2 vaccination in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients: Prospective survey from the S…

2021

This is a multicenter prospective observational study which included a large cohort (n = 397) of allogeneic (allo-HSCT) (n = 311) and autologous (ASCT) hematopoietic stem cell transplant (n = 86) recipients who were monitored for antibody detection within 3 to 6 weeks after complete SARS-CoV-2 vaccination from February 1st 2021 to July 20th 2021. Most patients (n = 387, 97.4%) received mRNA-based vaccines. Most of recipients (93%) were vaccinated more than 1 year after transplant. Detectable SARS-CoV-2-reactive antibodies were observed in 242 (78%) of allo-HSCT and in 73 (85%) of ASCT recipients. Multivariate analysis in allo-HSCT recipients identified lymphopenia <1x109 /mL [Odds ratio (OR…

Relapsed and/or Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma: What Role for Temsirolimus?

2012

Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) is associated with a dismal prognosis. Recently, along with the improved understanding of the pathophysiology of this disease, new first line regimens have been established and in addition novel treatment options have entered the clinical arena. In consequence, prognosis of the disease has fortunately improved. We here focus on the rationale, current clinical knowledge and future concepts of Temsirolimus, an inhibitor of mTOR, in the treatment of MCL. At this time this drug has been shown to be effective as single agent for relapsed disease and early combination data show promising results. In addition, with a brief outline of other treatment options, we aim to g…

Brentuximab Vedotin Plus ESHAP (BRESHAP) Versus ESHAP As Salvage Strategy for Patients with Primary Refractory or Relapsed Classical Hodgkin's Lympho…

2021

Abstract Introduction. Patients with relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (RRHL) still represent a therapeutic challenge. Consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-HCT) is the standard of care in this setting. The achievement of a metabolic complete remission (mCR) with salvage chemotherapy (CT) improves long-term outcome after auto-HCT. The introduction of new drugs has significantly changed the landscape of RRHL. Our cooperative group (GELTAMO) has already demonstrated that brentuximab vedotin (BV) + ESHAP (BRESHAP, García-Sanz R et al, Ann Oncol 2019) is able to achieve a mCR rate of 70% before auto-HCT in patients with RRHL. Nevertheless, the superiority …

Ibrutinib Vs Temsirolimus: Results from a Phase 3, International, Randomized, Open-Label, Multicenter Study in Patients with Previously Treated Mantl…

2015

Abstract Introduction MCL is an aggressive B-cell lymphoma with a poor overall prognosis. For patients who fail initial therapy, conventional chemotherapy achieves only short-term remissions. Ibrutinib is a first-in-class, once-daily, oral, covalent inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase that has been shown to be highly active for previously treated MCL patients (overall response rate [ORR] ~65%; complete response [CR] ~20%) in single-arm phase 2 studies. Temsirolimus has demonstrated significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) vs investigator's choice. In this phase 3, randomized, open-label study (MCL3001 [RAY]), ibrutinib was compared with temsirolimus in patients with relapsed o…

Long-Term Outcomes with Ibrutinib Versus the Prior Regimen: A Pooled Analysis in Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) with up to 7.5 …

2019

Introduction In MCL, progression-free survival (PFS) generally declines with each successive line of chemoimmunotherapy (CIT). We have previously published that with ibrutinib, a first-in-class oral inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase and a standard of care treatment (tx) for R/R MCL, median PFS exceeded 2 years (yrs) when used at first relapse (Rule S, et al. Haematologica. 2018;104:e211-e214). Here we present an updated pooled analysis with 15 months (mos) of additional follow-up, and for the first time, a comparison of outcomes with ibrutinib versus the prior regimen. Methods Patients (pts) enrolled in SPARK (MCL2001; NCT01599949), RAY (MCL3001; NCT01646021), and PCYC-1104 (NCT01236391…
