Treatment for patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma: European-based recommendations

2017

International audience; Patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) usually respond to initial combination chemotherapy, but the disease inevitably relapses and often follows an aggressive course. Here, clinical study results published since 2008 for patients with relapsed/refractory MCL were reviewed to compare available evidence for treatment guidance. Most trials identified were non-randomized, phase II studies performed at a limited number of sites, and many evaluated MCL as one of multiple non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes. Additional randomized, comparative trials are needed. Treatment selection generally depends on patient need, age and fitness, time of relapse, and line of therapy. Combina…

R-CVP versus R-CHOP versus R-FM as first-line therapy for advanced-stage follicular lymphoma: Final results of FOLL05 trial from the Fondazione Itali…

2012

8006 Background: The optimal chemotherapy regimen for patients with advanced, active follicular lymphoma (FL) has not been established yet. We conducted a randomized trial comparing R-CVP with R-CHOP and R-FM. Methods: Previously untreated patients with advanced FL were randomly assigned to receive 8 doses of rituximab associated to 8 cycles of CVP, or 6 cycles of CHOP or FM (fludarabine 25 mg/m2 day 1-3, mitoxantrone 10 mg/m2 day 1). No maintenance therapy was allowed. The principal study end point was Time to Treatment Failure (TTF). Events in TTF were failure of induction therapy, progressive or relapse disease and death from any causes. In order to show a hazard ratio between each expe…

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.

FIRST-LINE THERAPY OF T-CELL LYMPHOMA: ALLOGENEIC OR AUTOLOGOUS TRANSPLANTATION FOR CONSOLIDATION - FINAL RESULTS OF THE AATT STUDY

Use of the cumulative amount of serum-free light chains (sFLC) at diagnosis and PET2 for the early identification of high risk of treatment failure i…

2012

8083 Background: Since early identification of patients (pts) at risk of failure is the mainstay of a risk-adapted therapy, we explored the prognostic impact of the sFLC assay in cHL, whose biology involves ongoing activation of polyclonal B-cells. Methods: Serum samples from 248 untreated cHL pts were tested by the Freelite assay. Median age was 32 yrs (r 15-85), males 47%, stages: I (5%), II (51%), III (17%), IV (27%); B-sympt. 60%, E-disease, 38%; bulky >10 cm, 44%; ESR > 65, 42%; IPS ≥3, 39%. Early unfavorable disease (GHLSG/ EORTC) was respectively found in 33% and 42% of cases. ABVD was given to 89% of pts. Results: Absolute FLC levels were summed into a sFLC(κ+λ) variable and …

Dose-Adjusted Etoposide, Doxorubicin, and Cyclophosphamide With Vincristine and Prednisone Plus Rituximab Therapy in Children and Adolescents With Pr…

2021

PURPOSE A dose-adjusted etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide with vincristine and prednisone plus rituximab (DA-EPOCH-R) regimen has been shown to deliver excellent survival for adults with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBL) without the use of radiotherapy. No international prospective evaluation of this regimen has previously been reported in children and adolescents. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted an international single-arm phase II trial involving patients younger than age 18 years with PMLBL who were to receive six courses of DA-EPOCH-R. The primary end point was event-free survival (EFS). Overall survival and toxicity were also assessed. This trial was regist…

An open-label phase II study of ibrutinib in patients with refractory follicular lymphoma

2013

TPS8614^ Background: Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the second most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and comprises approximately 22% of all NHL cases. Most patients treated eventually relapse and subsequent responses and duration of responses become shorter. Patients ultimately become resistant to chemoimmunotherapy and repeated treatment-related toxicity commonly outweighs the benefit of treatment. Ibrutinib is a potent inhibitor of BTK (downstream of the B-cell receptor, BCR) that binds covalently to Cys-481 in the active site, abrogating intrinsic survival pathways (eg, ERK1/2, NF-kB, AKT) as well as survival signals from the microenvironment (eg, TNF family members: BAFF, CD40L; cytokine…

Durability of complete response after blinatumomab therapy for refractory/relapsed aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

2019

e19041 Background: Achieving durable response in patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory (R/R) aggressive B-cell lymphoma (B-NHL) is challenging. Blinatumomab, a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) immunotherapy targeting CD19-expressing cancer cells, has shown promising efficacy in pts with R/R aggressive B-NHL. We report the durability of complete response (DOCR) in pts treated with blinatumomab. Methods: The DOCR in pts with R/R aggressive B-NHL responding to blinatumomab was assessed using data from two phase 2 studies (study 1 [N = 25], NCT01741792; study 2 [N = 41], NCT02910063) in pts with R/R aggressive B-NHL. CR was assessed using Cheson (study 1) and Lugano (study 2) criteria. Time-…
