RESUMO

Despite the availability of many novel therapies for multiple myeloma, it remains an incurable disease with relapse fated in almost all patients. In the era of modern agents, second autologous stem cell transplantation still holds its role in patients relapsing after first-line autologous transplant. The authors reviewed a single-center experience with a second auto-SCT for relapsed multiple myeloma. Thirty patients had received a salvage auto-SCT at the institution. The median follow-up after diagnosis was 86 months, and the median time between transplants was 59.1 months. Response before second ASCT was the following: CR - 11 cases, VGPR - 9 cases, PR - 10 cases. Most patients received reduced dose (140 mg/m2) of melphalan as a conditioning regimen for the second auto-SCT. Treatment-related mortality was 3%. With a median follow-up time of 34 months after the second transplant, median progression-free survival was 24 months. The median PFS in the patients achieving CR or VGPR at day 100 after the second transplantation was 32 months. By 15 months, all patients achieved only partial remission progressed, with a median PFS of 8.5 months. During the follow-up period, no MDS or AML developed, and the frequency of second malignancy was also low, 3%. In conclusion, second autologous stem cell transplantation is a well-tolerated and effective treatment option for relapsed multiple myeloma in selected patients, though with a shorter PFS than in first remission.

RESUMO

Treating relapsed and refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is still challenging for clinicians, but the available CAR-T and bispecific antibodies have revolutionized therapy. Autologous stem cell transplantation was the most effective treatment modality previously. The authors reported data from a single center over ten years. The retrospective study included 116 patients, with 53 relapsed cases, 39 primary refractory cases, 19 who had CNS involvement, and 5 who had received primary consolidation transplants. The median duration of follow-up was 46 months. The median event-free survival was 75 months, and the median overall survival was 105 months for all cases. Five-year overall survival was 59%, and event-free survival was 54%. Pretreatment prognostic factors at diagnosis had no effect on the outcome of transplantation. The authors found no difference between survival in relapsed or refractory cases, and the number of salvage lines or the germinal center/activated B-cell type also did not influence the results. Complete metabolic response before transplantation confirmed by 18FDG PET/CT strongly affected survival. The pre-transplant creatinine and CRP levels significantly influenced the long-term outcome. The number of stem cells infused did not affect survival, but engraftment within nine days did result in a longer survival. These data support the finding that the response to salvage therapy did facilitate the identification of a better prognostic group who may still benefit from autologous transplantation.

RESUMO

Chromosomal translocations and pathogenic nucleotide variants both gained special clinical importance in lymphoma diagnostics. Non-invasive genotyping from peripheral blood (PB) circulating free nucleic acid has been effectively used to demonstrate cancer-related nucleotide variants, while gene fusions were not covered in the past. Our prospective study aimed to isolate and quantify PB cell-free total nucleic acid (cfTNA) from patients diagnosed with aggressive lymphoma and to compare with tumor-derived RNA (tdRNA) from the tissue sample of the same patients for both gene fusion and nucleotide variant testing. Matched samples from 24 patients were analyzed by next-generation sequencing following anchored multiplexed polymerase chain reaction (AMP) for 125 gene regions. Eight different gene fusions, including the classical BCL2, BCL6, and MYC genes, were detected in the corresponding tissue biopsy and cfTNA specimens with generally good agreement. Synchronous BCL2 and MYC translocations in double-hit high-grade B-cell lymphomas were obvious from cfTNA. Besides, mutations of 29 commonly affected genes, such as BCL2, MYD88, NOTCH2, EZH2, and CD79B, could be identified in matched cfTNA, and previously described pathogenic variants were detected in 16/24 cases (66.7%). In 3/24 cases (12.5%), only the PB sample was informative. Our prospective study demonstrates a non-invasive approach to identify frequent gene fusions and variants in aggressive lymphomas. cfTNA was found to be a high-value representative reflecting the complexity of the lymphoma aberration landscape.

RESUMO

Treating patients with DLBCL remains a challenge, as the response to first-line immunochemotherapy is somewhat unpredictable. The International Prognostic Index (IPI) is one of the most widely used methods for assessing prognosis. Interim PET/CT (iPET/CT) can play an important role in the early identification of 'non-responder' patients before the end of treatment examination. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed 104 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients treated with R-CHOP-like regimens who underwent iPET/CT imaging during therapy. There was a significant difference in 2-year OS between patients with negative iPET/CT and those with positive iPET/CT. Patients who had positive iPET/CT showed inferior 2-year PFS compared to those with negative iPET/CT. According to IPI, there was a statistically significant difference in 2-year OS and PFS between patients in the lower and higher risk groups. However, these patients can be further subdivided according to iPET/CT. The iPET/CT results in the present study clearly separate good- and poor-prognosis patients according to differences in 2-year OS, both in the lower and higher IPI risk groups. These results are in agreement with those of previous studies that demonstrated that iPET/CT has high negative predictive value, clearly identifying good-prognosis patients even within the poor-prognosis IPI group.
