RESUMO
Immune dysregulation in autoimmune diseases (ADs) is a risk factor for the development of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). However, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Hence, this retrospective study aims to describe the clinical and demographic factors that increase the risk of NHL development in patients with ADs. Our study utilised data from National Inpatient Sample (NIS) for the duration of 2016-2020 on all adult patients aged > 18 years who had NHL. We divided them into two cohorts: one with underlying ADs and one without underlying ADs. We then compared the adjusted odds ratios (aOR) of various risk factors. It was found that 0.9% of autoimmune cases had NHL, while 0.7% of non-autoimmune cases had NHL. Among those with autoimmune conditions, various factors influenced the presence of lymphoma, such as personal history of chemotherapy or radiation, family history of lymphoid malignancy, HIV infection, advanced age of 60-69 years, Asian and Pacific Islander ethnicity and viral hepatitis. The increased risk of NHL with autoimmune conditions is well established. Studies have also shown that these patients can overall have a poor prognosis from their NHL when compared to patients without autoimmune diseases. However, there is limited literature regarding the interplay of traditional NHL risk factors with underlying autoimmunity. Hence, our study sheds light on the lesser studied risk factors, such as patient characteristics and comorbidities.

BACKGROUND: Certain hazardous air pollutants (HAP) are known or suspected to pose immunological or cancer risk to humans, but evidence is limited from the general population. METHODS: We assessed associations between residential exposure to HAPs at the census tract level and incident non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and multiple myeloma in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS, 1986-2012) and NHSII (1989-2019). We used the covariate-adjusted proportional hazards model to estimate hazard ratios (HR) of NHL, major NHL subtypes, and multiple myeloma per interquartile range increase in exposure to a given HAP and pooled the cohort-specific estimates using fixed-effects meta-analyses. RESULTS: There were 810 NHL and 158 multiple myeloma cases in NHS (1,700,707 person-years) and 379 NHL and 59 multiple myeloma cases in NHSII (2,820,772 person-years). Most HRs approximated unity. Meta-analyses did not show consistent evidence of associations between any HAP exposure and risk of NHL or multiple myeloma. CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to HAPs was not consistently associated with risks of NHL or multiple myeloma in these nationwide prospective cohorts of women. IMPACT: This is the first nationwide study assessing associations between residential HAP exposures and risk of lymphoid malignances in prospective cohorts and focuses on women, who have frequently been underrepresented in (primarily occupational) studies of exposure to HAPs.

BACKGROUND: Acute lymphocytic leukaemia (ALL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are among the commonest types of childhood cancer. Some previous studies suggested that elevated ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposures increase ALL risk; many more indicate NHL risk is reduced. METHODS: We assessed age<20 ALL/NHL incidence in Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results data using AVGLO-derived UVR irradiance/cumulative radiant exposure measures, using quasi-likelihood models accounting for underdispersion, adjusted for age, sex, racial/ethnic group and other county-level socioeconomic variables. RESULTS: There were 30,349 cases of ALL and 8062 of NHL, with significant increasing trends of ALL with UVR irradiance (relative risk (RR) = 1.200/mW/cm2 (95% CI 1.060, 1.359, p = 0.0040)), but significant decreasing trends for NHL (RR = 0.646/mW/cm2 (95% CI 0.512, 0.816, p = 0.0002)). There was a borderline-significant increasing trend of ALL with UVR cumulative radiant exposure (RR = 1.444/MJ/cm2 (95% CI 0.949, 2.197, p = 0.0865)), and significant decreasing trends for NHL (RR = 0.284/MJ/cm2 (95% CI 0.166, 0.485, p < 0.0001)). ALL and NHL trend RR is substantially increased among those aged 0-3. All-age trend RRs are most extreme (increasing for ALL, decreasing for NHL) for Hispanics for both UVR measures. CONCLUSIONS: Our more novel finding, of excess UVR-related ALL risk, is consistent with some previous studies, but is not clear-cut, and in need of replication.

OBJECTIVES: Survivors after pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are with lifetime risk for second primary malignancy (SPM). This necessitates a thorough analysis to better understand the potential long-term health implications for these individuals. METHODS: We used a US-wide population-based cancer registry data to quantify the SPM risk and identify its incidence patterns among pediatric lymphoma patients. RESULTS: We observed 4.74-fold (95% CI 4.27-5.25) and 3.40-fold (95% CI 2.78-4.10) increased risks of SPM in survivors after pediatric HL and NHL, respectively. Through over 40 years' follow-up, the cumulative incidence of SPM for pediatric lymphoma was persistently increasing, and here we firstly report the high 40-year cumulative incidence rates of SPM, 22.2% for HL and 12.6% for NHL, suggesting that SPM accounts for a great proportion of deaths among survivors. Of 6805 pediatric lymphomas, 462 (6.36%) developed a SPM, especially second breast and thyroid cancer, followed by hematologic neoplasms including leukemia and NHL. The competing risk analysis demonstrated gender, lymphoma subtype and radiotherapy were significantly associated with SPM. Different risk patterns of SPM were identified between pediatric HL and NHL. Chemotherapy accelerated SPM development but did not increase its incidence risk. CONCLUSION: Overall, patients after pediatric lymphoma can be with high lifetime risk of SPM, and more attention should be paid to SPM-related signs for early detection and intervention.

Hysterectomy is associated with an increased risk for adverse health outcomes. However, its connection to the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) remains unclear. The aims of our study were to investigate the associations between hysterectomy, oophorectomy and risk of NHL and its major subtypes (eg, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [DLBCL]), and whether these associations were modified by exogenous hormone use. Postmenopausal women (n = 141,621) aged 50-79 years at enrollment (1993-1998) from the Women's Health Initiative were followed for an average of 17.2 years. Hysterectomy and oophorectomy were self-reported at baseline. Incident NHL cases were confirmed by central review of medical records and pathology reports. During the follow-up period, a total of 1719 women were diagnosed with NHL. Hysterectomy, regardless of oophorectomy status, was associated with an increased risk of NHL (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.23, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05-1.44). Oophorectomy was not independently associated with NHL risk after adjusting for hysterectomy. When stratified by hormone use, the association between hysterectomy and NHL risk was confined to women who had never used hormone therapy (HR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.06-1.71), especially for DLBCL subtype (P for interaction = .01), and to those who had undergone hysterectomy before the age of 55. Our large prospective study showed that hysterectomy was a risk factor of NHL. Findings varied by hormone use. Future studies incorporating detailed information on the types and indications of hysterectomy may deepen our understanding of the mechanisms underlying DLBCL development and its potential interactions with hormone use.

Background: Follicular lymphoma (FL), a common indolent B-cell lymphoma, has the potential to transform into an aggressive lymphoma, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The outcome of patients with transformed follicular lymphoma (tFL) is poor, especially in patients with transformed lymphoma after chemotherapy and patients with progression within 24 months (POD24). Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy combined with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has promising antitumor efficacy. Case presentation: Here, we described a 39-year-old male patient who was initially diagnosed with FL that transformed into DLBCL with POD24, CD20 negativity, TP53 mutation, and a bulky mass after 3 lines of therapy, all of which were adverse prognostic factors. We applied a combination approach: CD19 CAR T-cell infusion following ASCT. Ibrutinib was administered continuously to enhance efficacy, DHAP was administered as a salvage chemotherapy, and ICE was administered as a bridging regimen. The patient underwent BEAM conditioning on days -7~ -1, a total of 3.8 × 106/kg CD34+ stem cells were infused on days 01~02, and a total of 108 CAR T cells (relmacabtagene autoleucel, relma-cel, JWCAR029) were infused on day 03. The patient experienced grade 2 cytokine release syndrome (CRS), manifesting as fever and hypotension according to institutional standards. There was no immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) after CAR T-cell infusion. Finally, the patient achieved CMR at +1 month, which has been maintained without any other adverse effects. Conclusion: This case highlights the amazing efficacy of CD19 CAR T-cell therapy following ASCT for R/R tFL, thus providing new insight on therapeutic strategies for the future.

OBJECTIVES: The role of subcutaneous (SC) rituximab in the efficacy and safety to non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is not clear enough. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis, to assess the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous rituximab to NHL. METHOD: A full-scale search was carried out based on the set search terms in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane CENTRAL until 12 October 2022 to identify relevant studies of subcutaneous rituximab for NHL. The efficacy and safety outcomes included complete response (CR) plus unconfirmed complete response (CRu), adverse events (AEs), grade ≥3 AEs, serious adverse events (SAEs), administration-related reactions (ARRs), adverse reaction rates. RESULTS: From a total of 758 studies, 9 trials were eligible. The CR/CRu of patients with NHL receiving SC rituximab was 57%, 55% for Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and 54% for Follicular lymphoma (FL). The meta-analysis performed on safety demonstrated that AEs of NHL patients with SC rituximab was 85%, grade ≥3 AEs was 38%, SAE was 27% and ARR was 33%. The result also showed that SC rituximab had a high risk of neutropenia and nausea. CONCLUSION: For NHL patients, there is no significant difference in the efficacy between subcutaneous rituximab and conventional therapy, while subcutaneous injection can shorten exposure time in the hospital and reduce the risk of infection.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of HCV and occult HBV among newly diagnosed pre-treatment Egyptian lymphoma patients and evaluate patients' outcomes based on the presence of the viral infections. METHODS: The study included 80 therapy-naïve lymphoma patients including 71 non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and 9 Hodgkin lymphoma disease (HD) in addition to 100 healthy volunteers. HBV screening using HBsAg and anti-HBc IgM and HCV using AB/Ag ELISA and real-time RT-PCR were screened in tested and control groups. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were conducted to diseased patients. RESULTS: Healthy patients showed 4/100, (4%) active HCV infection and 1/100, (1%) active HBV infection and no occult HBV infection. Among NHL patients, 28 were positive for HBV (6 active and 22 occult HBV infection). Occult HBV was also detected in 5/9 HD patients. HCV was detected in (30/71, 42.3%) of NHL patients and in a single HD patient. Ten occult HBV NHL patients showed a mixed infection with HCV. The incidence of both HCV and HBV are higher in NHL than HL patients. After antitumor treatment, complete remission for lymphoma was achieved in 45% of patients. Both overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were correlated and significantly associated with patients' LDH levels. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings claim the suggestive role of HCV and occult HBV infections in NHL but not HL patients in comparison to healthy control, suggesting pre-screening of related factors including occult HBV in for potential better therapy response.

BACKGROUND: Given the role of the immune system in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) etiology, obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) may impact NHL development. We examined the association of body mass index (BMI) and T2D with NHL in the multiethnic cohort (MEC). METHODS: The MEC recruited >215,000 participants in Hawaii and Los Angeles from five racial/ethnic groups; NHL cases were identified through cancer registry linkages. T2D status, and BMI at age 21 and cohort entry were derived from repeated self-reports; for T2D, Medicare claims were also applied. HRs and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for BMI and T2D as predictors of NHL were determined using Cox regression adjusted for relevant covariates. RESULTS: Among 192,424 participants, 3,472 (1.8%) with NHL and 68,850 (36%) with T2D after 19.2 ± 6.6 years follow-up, no significant association between T2D and NHL (HR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.96-1.13) was observed. Stratification by BMI at cohort entry showed a significant association of T2D with NHL among individuals with normal weight only (HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.03-1.37). In a model with both BMI values plus T2D, only overweight (HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.01-1.26) and obesity (HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 0.99-1.59) at age 21 were associated with NHL incidence. Stratification by sex, race/ethnicity, and NHL subtype indicated no differences. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest an association between T2D and NHL incidence in several subgroups but not in the total population and an elevated risk related to early-life BMI. IMPACT: Excess body weight in early life, rather than T2D, may be a predictor of NHL incidence.

BACKGROUND AIMS: The prognostic impact of platelet recovery after autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) on clinical outcomes remains to be elucidated. We aimed to clarify the impact of platelet recovery on clinical outcomes, risk factors of delayed platelet recovery and the necessary dose of CD34+ cells for prompt platelet recovery in each patient. METHODS: Using a nationwide Japanese registry database, we retrospectively analyzed clinical outcomes of 5222 patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or multiple myeloma (MM). RESULTS: At a landmark of 28 days after AHCT, a delay of platelet recovery was observed in 1102 patients (21.1%). Prompt platelet recovery was significantly associated with superior overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] 0.32, P < 0.001), progression-free survival (HR 0.48, P < 0.001) and decreased risks of disease progression (HR 0.66, P < 0.001) and non-relapse/non-progression mortality (HR 0.19, P < 0.001). The adverse impacts of a delay of platelet recovery seemed to be more apparent in NHL. In addition to the dose of CD34+ cells/kg, disease status, performance status and the hematopoietic cell transplant-specific comorbidity index in both diseases were associated with platelet recovery. We then stratified the patients into three risk groups according to these factors. For the purpose of achieving 70% platelet recovery by 28 days in NHL, the low-, intermediate- and high-risk groups needed more than 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg, respectively. In MM, the low-risk group needed approximately 1.5 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg, whereas the intermediate- and high-risk groups required 2.0 and 2.5 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg to achieve about 80% platelet recovery by 28 days. CONCLUSIONS: A delay of platelet recovery after AHCT was associated with inferior survival outcomes.

Many studies have identified associations between neighborhood deprivation and disease, emphasizing the importance of social determinants of health. However, when studying diseases with long latency periods such as cancers, considering the timing of exposures for deprivation becomes more important. In this study, we estimated the associations between neighborhood deprivation indices at several time points and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in a population-based case-control study at four study centers - Detroit, Iowa, Los Angeles County, and Seattle (1998-2000). We used the Bayesian index regression model and residential histories to estimate neighborhood deprivation index effects in crude models and adjusted for four chemical mixtures measured in house dust and individual-level covariates. We found that neighborhood deprivation in 1980, approximately twenty years before study entry, provided better model fit than did neighborhood deprivation at 1990 and 2000. We identified several statistically significant associations between neighborhood deprivation in 1980 and NHL risk in Iowa and among long-term (20+ years) residents of Detroit. The most important variables in these indices were median gross rent as a percentage of household income in Iowa and percent of single-parent households with at least one child and median household income in Detroit. Associations remained statistically significant after adjustment for individual-level covariates and chemical mixtures, providing evidence for historic neighborhood deprivation as a risk factor for NHL and motivating future research to uncover the specific carcinogens driving these associations in deprived areas.

PURPOSE: The objective was to explore the relationship of sun behavior patterns with the risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). METHODS: Sun behavior information from Alberta's Tomorrow Project, CARTaGENE, and Ontario Health Study were utilized. The relationship between time in the sun during summer months and risk of NHL was assessed using Cox proportional hazard models with age as the time scale and adjustment for confounders. Cohorts were analyzed separately and hazard ratios (HR) pooled with random effects meta-analysis. Joint effects of time in the sun and use of sun protection were examined. Patterns of exposure were explored via combinations of weekday and weekend time in the sun. RESULTS: During an average follow-up of 7.6 years, 205 NHL cases occurred among study participants (n = 79,803). Compared to < 30 min daily in the sun, we observed HRs of 0.84 (95% CI 0.55-1.28) for 30-59 min, 0.63 (95% CI 0.40-0.98) for 1-2 h, and 0.91 (95% CI 0.61-1.36) for > 2 h. There was suggestive evidence that > 2 h was protective against NHL with use of sun protection, but not without it. Compared to < 30 min daily, moderate exposure (30 min to 2 h on weekdays or weekend) was associated with a lower risk of NHL (HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.43-0.92), while intermittent (< 30 min on weekdays and > 2 h on weekends) and chronic (> 2 h daily) were not. CONCLUSION: This study provides evidence of a protective effect of moderate time spent in the sun on NHL risk.

BACKGROUND: Pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) can be used in pediatric patients. This study assessed the safety and efficacy of PEG-rhG-CSF as a primary prophylactic drug against neutropenia after chemotherapy in pediatric patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). PATIENTS AND METHODS: This phase II study (between October 2020 and March 2022) enrolled pediatric patients with solid tumors or NHL treated with high-intensity chemotherapy and with grade ≥3 myelosuppression for at least 14 days during chemotherapy. Prophylactic PEG-rhG-CSF was given at 100 µg/kg body weight (maximum total dosage of 6 mg) once 24-48 h following chemotherapy for two cycles. The primary endpoint was the incidence of PEG-rhG-CSF-related adverse events (AEs). The key secondary endpoints were the rates of grade 3/4 neutropenia and febrile neutropenia (FN). RESULTS: This study included 160 pediatric patients with a median age of 6.22 (0.29, 18.00) years. Fifty-eight patients (36.25%) were diagnosed with sarcoma. AEs potentially related to PEG-rhG-CSF included bone pain (n = 32), fatigue (n = 21), pain at the injection site (n = 21), and myalgia (n = 20). The rates of grade 3/4 neutropenia and FN during treatment were 57.28% and 29.45%, respectively. CONCLUSION: PEG-rhG-CSF is well tolerated and effective in pediatric patients with solid tumors or NHL. These findings should be substantiated with further trials. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04547829.

Although anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has achieved satisfactory results in relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL), patients with R/R FL and high-risk disease characteristics, previous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, bulky disease, and progression of disease within 2 years (POD24) had a low complete response (CR). Twenty-seven patients with R/R FL, later disease stages, higher tumor burden, or higher previous treatment lines who had received Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors before anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy, or received BTK inhibitors as combination therapy, were included in this study. The clinical response and adverse events (AEs) in anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy were observed. All patients with R/R FL who received BTK inhibitors combined with anti-CD19-CAR T cell therapy had later disease stages, higher tumor burden, and higher treatment lines than those who did not receive BTK inhibitor combination therapy. However, no difference in the clinical response was found between the two groups. The clinical response in the POD24 group was lower than that in the non-POD24 group; however, no difference in the clinical response was found between the FL and transformed FL (tFL) groups, between the follicular lymphoma international prognostic index (FLIPI) 1 1-2 and FLIPI 1 3-5 groups, and between the FLIPI 2 1-2 and FLIPI 2 3-5 groups. The mean anti-CD19 CAR T cell peak was higher in the CAR-T group with BTK inhibitor than in the CAR-T group without BTK inhibitor. Meanwhile, a higher proportion of patients in the non-POD24 group, FL group, and PR group achieved CR after 2 months. No difference in cytokine secretion was found between the CAR-T group with and without BTK inhibitors. It was higher in the non-POD24 group, FLIPI 1 3-5 group, and FLIPI 2 3-5 group. No difference in cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxic syndrome grades was found between the CAR-T groups with or without BTK inhibitors and between the other groups. Poor prognostic factors, other than POD24, did not affect the clinical response to BTK inhibitors in combination with anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy in patients with R/R FL. Therefore, BTK inhibitors combined with anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy may be an effective and safe approach for patients with R/R FL and high-risk factors.Trial registration: The study was registered at http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx as ChiCTR-ONN-16009862 and http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx as ChiCTR1800019622.

The association between pesticide exposure and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) including hairy cell leukemia (HCL) was analyzed in a pooled study of three case-control studies. Results on exposure to pesticides were based on 1,425 cases and 2,157 controls participating in the studies. Exposures were assessed by self-administered questionnaires completed as needed by phone. In the pooled univariate analyses adjusted by age, gender and year of diagnosis, exposure to herbicides of the phenoxyacetic acid type yielded statistically significant increased risk with odds ratio (OR) = 1.9, 95% confidence interval CI) = 1.4-2.5. The herbicide glyphosate gave OR = 2.2, 95% CI = 1.3-3.8. Impregnating agents increased the risk. No clear dose-response effect was seen. OR was highest in the >10-20 years latency group for herbicides and impregnating agents. In the multivariate analysis including main pesticide groups, statistically significant increased risk was found for herbicides, OR = 1.6, 95% CI = 1.2-2.1 and impregnating agents with OR = 1.4, 95% CI = 1.1-1.8. This analysis confirmed an association between NHL including HCL and exposure to certain herbicides.

Despite the impressive results of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell treatment for lymphomas, adverse events such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), and infections are major issues that can lead to intensive care unit (ICU) admission and death. Current guidelines recommend tocilizumab for treating patients with CRS grade (G) ≥2; however, the optimal timing of intervention has yet to be determined. Our institution adopted the preemptive use of tocilizumab in cases of persistent G1 CRS, defined as fever (≥38 °C) for >24 hours. This preemptive tocilizumab treatment aimed to reduce evolution to severe (G≥3) CRS, ICU admission, or death. We report on 48 prospectively collected consecutive patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated with autologous CD19-targeted CAR T cells. In total, 39 patients (81%) developed CRS. CRS started as G1 in 28 patients, as G2 in patients, and as G3 in 1 patient. Tocilizumab was administered in 34 patients, including 23 patients who received "preemptive" tocilizumab and 11 patients who received tocilizumab for G2 or G3 CRS from the onset of symptoms. CRS resolved without worsening severity in 19 patients out of 23 (83%) who received preemptive tocilizumab; 4 patients (17%) progressed from G1 to G2 for the development of hypotension and quickly responded to the introduction of steroids. No patients treated with a preemptive approach developed G3 or G4 CRS. Ten out of 48 patients (21%) were diagnosed with ICANS, including 5 patients with G3 or G4. Six infectious events occurred. The overall ICU admission rate was 19%. ICANS management was the most relevant reason for ICU admission (7 patients), and no patient required ICU to manage CRS. No deaths from CAR-T toxicity were observed. Our data indicate that preemptive tocilizumab use is feasible and useful in reducing severe CRS and CRS-related ICU admission, with no impact on neurotoxicity or infection rate. Therefore, early use of tocilizumab can be considered, especially for patients at high risk of CRS.

Greater tumor burden before CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy predicts lower complete response rate and shorter overall survival (OS) in patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Recent patterns of failure studies have identified lesion characteristics, including size, standard uptake value (SUV), and extranodal location, as associated with post-CAR-T therapy failure. Here we analyzed the effect of bridging radiation-containing treatment (BRT) on pre-CAR-T therapy lesion- and patient-level characteristics and post-CAR-T therapy outcomes, including patterns of failure. Consecutive NHL patients who received radiation therapy from 30 days before leukapheresis until CAR T cell infusion were reviewed. Metabolic tumor volume (MTV) was contoured with a threshold SUV of 4. The first post-CAR-T therapy failures were categorized as preexisting/new/mixed with respect to pre-CAR-T therapy disease and in-field/marginal/distant with respect to BRT. Forty-one patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL; n = 33), mantle cell lymphoma (n = 7), or Burkitt lymphoma (n = 1) were identified. BRT significantly improved established high-risk parameters of post-CAR-T therapy progression, including in-field median MTV (45.5 cc to .2 cc; P < .001), maximum SUV (18.1 to 4.4; P < .001), diameter (5.5 cm to 3.2 cm; P < .001), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; 312 to 232; P = .025). DLBCL patients with lower LDH levels post-BRT had improved progression-free survival (PFS; P = .001). In DLBCL, first failures were new in 7 of 19 patients, preexisting in 5 of 19, and mixed in 7 of 19; with respect to BRT, 4 of 19 were in-field and 4 of 19 were marginal. Post-CAR-T therapy survival was similar in patients with initially low MTV and those with newly low MTV post-BRT using a statistically determined threshold of 16 cc (PFS, 26 months versus 31 months; OS unreached for both). BRT produced significant cytoreductions in diameter, SUV, MTV, and LDH, all predictors of poor post-CAR-T therapy outcomes. Similar PFS and OS in patients with initially low MTV and those who achieved newly low MTV after BRT suggest that BRT may "convert" poor-risk patients to better risk. In the future, the response to BRT may allow for risk stratification and individualization of bridging strategies.

The prognosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) remains poor, with an unmet need for novel therapies. MG4101, an ex vivo-expanded allogeneic natural killer (NK) cell, can enhance rituximab antibody-dependent cytotoxicity in relapsed/refractory (r/r) B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This study assessed the safety and efficacy of MG4101 plus rituximab for patients with r/r NHL. Patients received escalating doses of i.v. MG4101 plus rituximab every 2 weeks. IL-2 was administered s.c. after MG4101 treatment. Fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide was administered i.v. before rituximab treatment in cycles 1, 3, and 5. A 3+3 design was used to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and maximum feasible dose. Assessments were performed over a 6-cycle period, with an extended maintenance period of up to 8 cycles. Nine patients received 3 different doses of MG4101 and rituximab. MTD could not be determined because of the absence of dose-limiting toxicity. Treatment-related adverse events, mostly grade 1 or 2, occurred in 89% of patients. Only 1 patient experienced grade 1 cytokine release syndrome. MG4101 persisted for at least 7 days in 7 patients. Four patients achieved a partial response and 1 patient attained a complete response, for an overall response rate of 55.6%. Two patients showed prolonged responses and low exhaustion marker levels in T cells. For allogeneic NK cell therapy, strategies including the use of the high-affinity hFcγRIIIaV158 variant of the KIR B/x haplotype with lymphodepleting chemotherapy may be promising options for improving clinical efficacy in the antibody combination therapeutic setting as an off-the-shelf product. MG4101 plus rituximab presented a favorable safety profile and overall response rate in patients with r/r NHL.
