RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Most patients with advanced-stage indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma have multiple relapses. We assessed axicabtagene ciloleucel autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in relapsed or refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma. METHODS: ZUMA-5 is a single-arm, multicentre, phase 2 trial being conducted at 15 medical cancer centres in the USA and two medical cancer centres in France. Patients were eligible if they were aged 18 years or older, with histologically confirmed indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma), had relapsed or refractory disease, previously had two or more lines of therapy (including an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody with an alkylating agent), and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score of 0 or 1. Patients underwent leukapheresis and received conditioning chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide at 500 mg/m2 per day and fludarabine at 30 mg/m2 per day on days -5, -4, and -3) followed by a single infusion of axicabtagene ciloleucel (2 × 106 CAR T cells per kg) on day 0. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (complete response and partial response) assessed by an independent review committee per Lugano classification. The primary activity analysis was done after at least 80 treated patients with follicular lymphoma had been followed up for at least 12 months after the first response assessment at week 4 after infusion. The primary analyses were done in the per-protocol population (ie, eligible patients with follicular lymphoma who had 12 months of follow-up after the first response assessment and eligible patients with marginal zone lymphoma who had at least 4 weeks of follow-up after infusion of axicabtagene ciloleucel). Safety analyses were done in patients who received an infusion of axicabtagene ciloleucel. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03105336, and is closed to accrual. FINDINGS: Between June 20, 2017, and July 16, 2020, 153 patients were enrolled and underwent leukapheresis, and axicabtagene ciloleucel was successfully manufactured for all enrolled patients. As of data cutoff (Sept 14, 2020), 148 patients had received an infusion of axicabtagene ciloleucel (124 [84%] who had follicular lymphoma and 24 [16%] who had marginal zone lymphoma). The median follow-up for the primary analysis was 17·5 months (IQR 14·1-22·6). Among patients who were eligible for the primary analysis (n=104, of whom 84 had follicular lymphoma and 20 had marginal zone lymphoma), 96 (92%; 95% CI 85-97) had an overall response and 77 (74%) had a complete response. The most common grade 3 or worse adverse events were cytopenias (104 [70%] of 148 patients) and infections (26 [18%]). Grade 3 or worse cytokine release syndrome occurred in ten (7%) patients and grade 3 or 4 neurological events occurred in 28 (19%) patients. Serious adverse events (any grade) occurred in 74 (50%) patients. Deaths due to adverse events occurred in four (3%) patients, one of which was deemed to be treatment-related (multisystem organ failure). INTERPRETATION: Axicabtagene ciloleucel showed high rates of durable responses and had a manageable safety profile in patients with relapsed or refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Prophylaxis with fluoroquinolone (FQ) for patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains controversial. We performed a retrospective review of patients undergoing ASCT with and without bacterial prophylaxis to compare endpoints of interest. In accordance with institutional policy, patients undergoing ASCT for multiple myeloma routinely receive levofloxacin prophylaxis during their period of neutropenia, whereas patients undergoing the ASCT for lymphoma do not. We retrospectively examined patients with multiple myeloma (MM) or lymphoma undergoing ASCT between July 2015 and July 2018 for evidence of positive blood cultures. A total of 172 patients underwent ASCT for lymphoma and 343 underwent ASCT for MM. The 2 cohorts were similar in terms of baseline characteristics. Almost 20% (35 of 172) of the patients with lymphoma and 5.2% (18 of 342) of those with MM had a bloodstream infection (BSI). BSI occurred an average of 2 days earlier in patients with lymphoma compared with patients with MM (day +5 versus day +7; P = .0003). The 2 cohorts recovered absolute neutrophil count at the same time. Hospital length of stay was 2 days shorter for patients with MM (median, 20 days versus 18 days; P = .01). The majority of the organisms were gram-negative in both cohorts. Of the organisms commonly tested for FQ sensitivity, only 1 of 25 was resistant in the lymphoma cohort, compared with 7 of 9 in the MM cohort (P < .0001), with 4 being multidrug resistant. The odds of developing a BSI were 4.6 times greater in the lymphoma cohort compared with the MM cohort (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.52 to 8.40; P < .0001). In total, 23 of 172 patients with lymphoma (13.4%) and 28 of 342 patients with MM (8.2%) developed Clostridium difficile infection (odds ratio, 1.73; 95% CI, .96 to 3.11; P = .066). Two infection-related deaths occurred in the MM cohort. Our data indicate that FQ prophylaxis reduces the risk of BSI in patients undergoing ASCT but increases the incidence of resistant organisms. We recommend routine antimicrobial prophylaxis in patients undergoing ASCT to reduce the risk of BSI, along with a systematic and regular review of outcomes.

Although hematopoietic cell transplantation from an HLA-matched unrelated donor is potentially curative for hematologic malignancies, survival is lower for African Americans compared with Caucasians. Because only approximately 20% of African Americans will have an HLA-matched unrelated donor, many of these patients undergo HLA-haploidentical relative or umbilical cord blood transplantation. In this study, we analyzed outcomes after HLA-haploidentical related donor (n = 249) and umbilical cord blood (n = 118) transplantations in African American patients with hematologic malignancy between 2008 and 2016. The predominant disease was acute myelogenous leukemia for recipients of both types of donor grafts. The incidences of grade II-IV and III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease were higher after umbilical cord blood transplantation compared with HLA-haploidentical relative transplantation (56% and 29%, respectively, versus 33% and 11%, respectively; P < .0001). The 2-year incidence of transplantation-related mortality adjusted for age and conditioning regimen intensity was higher after umbilical cord blood transplantation compared with HLA-haploidentical related donor transplantation (31% versus 18%; P = .008); however, there were no between-group differences in the 2-year adjusted incidence of relapse (30% versus 34%; P = .51), overall survival (54% versus 57%; P = .66), or disease-free survival (43% versus 47%; P = .46). Our findings show that the use of HLA-haploidentical and umbilical cord blood transplants expands the access to transplantation with comparable leukemia-free and overall survival for African Americans with hematologic malignancies.

Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a curative option for select relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients; however, there are sparse data to support superiority of any particular conditioning regimen. We analyzed 492 adult patients undergoing human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling or unrelated donor allo-HCT for HL between 2008 and 2016, utilizing RIC with either fludarabine/busulfan (Flu/Bu), fludarabine/melphalan (Flu/Mel140) or fludarabine/cyclophosphamide (Flu/Cy). Multivariable regression analysis was performed using a significance level of <0·01. There were no significant differences between regimens in risk for non-relapse mortality (NRM) (P = 0·54), relapse/progression (P = 0·02) or progression-free survival (PFS) (P = 0·14). Flu/Cy conditioning was associated with decreased risk of mortality in the first 11 months after allo-HCT (HR = 0·28; 95% CI = 0·10-0·73; P = 0·009), but beyond 11 months post allo-HCT it was associated with a significantly higher risk of mortality, (HR = 2·46; 95% CI = 0·1.32-4·61; P = 0·005). Four-year adjusted overall survival (OS) was similar across regimens at 62% for Flu/Bu, 59% for Flu/Mel140 and 55% for Flu/Cy (P = 0·64), respectively. These data confirm the choice of RIC for allo-HCT in HL does not influence risk of relapse, NRM or PFS. Although no OS benefit was seen between Flu/Bu and Flu/Mel 140; Flu/Cy was associated with a significantly higher risk of mortality beyond 11 months from allo-HCT (possibly due to late NRM events).

MicroRNA (miRNA) dysregulation is a hallmark of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), an often-fatal malignancy of skin-homing CD4+ T cells for which there are few effective therapies. The role of microRNAs (miRs) in controlling epigenetic modifier-dependent transcriptional regulation in CTCL is unknown. In this study, we characterize a novel miR dysregulation that contributes to overexpression of the epigenetic reader bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4). We used patient CD4+ T cells to show diminished levels of miR-29b compared with healthy donor cells. Patient cells and miR-29b-/- mouse cells revealed an inverse relationship between miR-29b and BRD4, the latter of which is overexpressed in these cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing analysis revealed increased genome-wide BRD4 occupancy at promoter and enhancer regions in CD4+ T cells from CTCL patients. The cumulative result of BRD4 binding was increased expression of tumor-associated genes such as NOTCH1 and RBPJ, as well as the interleukin-15 (IL-15) receptor complex, the latter enhancing IL-15 autocrine signaling. Furthermore, we confirm the in vivo relevance of this pathway in our IL-15 transgenic mouse model of CTCL by showing that interference with BRD4-mediated pathogenesis, either by restoring miR-29b levels via bortezomib treatment or by directly inhibiting BRD4 binding via JQ1 treatment, prevents progression of CTCL. We describe a novel oncogenic pathway featuring IL-15, miR-29b, and BRD4 in CTCL and suggest targeting of these components as a potentially effective therapy for CTCL patients.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), and Sézary syndrome (SS) is a rare erythrodermic and leukemic subtype of CTCL characterized by significant blood involvement. Although early-stage disease can be effectively treated predominantly with skin-directed therapies, systemic therapy is often necessary for the treatment of advanced-stage disease. Systemic therapy options have evolved in recent years with the approval of novel agents such as romidepsin, brentuximab vedotin, and mogamulizumab. These NCCN Guidelines Insights discuss the diagnosis and management of MF and SS (with a focus on systemic therapy).

Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is a rare subtype of T-cell lymphoma associated with an aggressive clinical course and a worse prognosis. HSTCL develops in the setting of chronic immune suppression or immune dysregulation in up to 20% of cases and is most often characterized by spleen, liver, and bone marrow involvement. Diagnosis and management of HSTCL pose significant challenges given the rarity of the disease along with the absence of lymphadenopathy and poor outcome with conventional chemotherapy regimens. These Guidelines Insights focus on the diagnosis and treatment of HSTCL as outlined in the NCCN Guidelines for T-Cell Lymphomas.

BACKGROUND: IPH4102 is a first-in-class monoclonal antibody targeting KIR3DL2, a cell surface protein that is expressed in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and predominantly in its leukaemic form, Sézary syndrome. We aimed to assess the safety and activity of IPH4102 in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. METHODS: We did an international, first-in-human, open-label, phase 1 clinical trial with dose-escalation and cohort-expansion parts in five academic hospitals in the USA, France, the UK, and the Netherlands. Eligible patients had histologically confirmed relapsed or refractory primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology group performance score of 2 or less, were aged 18 years or older, and had received at least two previous systemic therapies. Ten dose levels of IPH4102, administered as an intravenous infusion, ranging from 0·0001 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg, were assessed using an accelerated 3â+â3 design. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of dose-limiting toxicities during the first 2 weeks of treatment, defined as toxicity grade 3 or worse lasting for 8 or more days, except for lymphopenia. Global overall response by cutaneous T-cell lymphoma subtype was a secondary endpoint. Safety and activity analyses were done in the per-protocol population. The study is ongoing and recruitment is complete. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02593045. FINDINGS: Between Nov 4, 2015, and Nov 20, 2017, 44 patients were enrolled. 35 (80%) patients had Sézary syndrome, eight (18%) had mycosis fungoides, and one (2%) had primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified. In the dose-escalation part, no dose limiting toxicity was reported and the trial's safety committee recommended a flat dose of 750 mg for the cohort-expansion, corresponding to the maximum administered dose. The most common adverse events were peripheral oedema (12 [27%] of 44 patients) and fatigue (nine [20%]), all of which were grade 1-2. Lymphopenia was the most common grade 3 or worse adverse event (three [7%]). One patient developed possibly treatment-related fulminant hepatitis 6 weeks after IPH4102 discontinuation and subsequently died. However, the patient had evidence of human herpes virus-6B infection. Median follow-up was 14·1 months (IQR 11·3-20·5). A confirmed global overall response was achieved in 16 (36·4% [95% CI 23·8-51·1]) of 44 patients, and of those, 15 responses were observed in 35 patients with Sézary syndrome (43% [28·0-59·1]). INTERPRETATION: IPH4102 is safe and shows encouraging clinical activity in patients with relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, particularly those with Sézary syndrome. If confirmed in future trials, IPH4102 could become a novel treatment option for these patients. A multi-cohort, phase 2 trial (TELLOMAK) is underway to confirm the activity in patients with Sézary syndrome and explore the role of IPH4102 in other subtypes of T-cell lymphomas that express KIR3DL2.

The appropriate dose of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) to be used in reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is yet to be determined. We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of patients who underwent unrelated or mismatch related RIC allo-HSCT for hematologic malignancies and received r-ATG (4.5 mg/kg, 141 patients) versus R-ATG (6 mg/kg, 216 patients). There was a higher incidence of cytomegalovirus (P < .001) and Epstein-Barr virus viremia (P =.03) in the R-ATG group than in the r-ATG group. The cumulative incidences of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) grades II to IV at day 180 in the r-ATG and R-ATG groups were 59% and 44% (Pâ¯=â¯.006) and grades III to IV 20% and 12% (Pâ¯=â¯.029), respectively. In multivariable models adjusting for disease diagnosis, the risk of aGVHD grades III to IV did not reach statistical significance (Pâ¯=â¯.087). The respective cumulative incidences of chronic GVHD in the r-ATG and R-ATG groups were 26% and 15% (Pâ¯=â¯.10), respectively. There were no significant differences in relapse rate (Pâ¯=â¯.24), nonrelapse mortality (Pâ¯=â¯.96), progression-free survival (Pâ¯=â¯.24), overall survival (Pâ¯=â¯.70), and GVHD-free relapse-free survival (Pâ¯=â¯.24). In this retrospective analysis, aGVHD incidence was higher in those treated with r-ATG compared with R-ATG, but this did not translate into significant differences of clinical outcome. Given the increasing use of RIC allo-HSCT for treating malignant hematologic conditions, the correct dose and schedule of ATG administration should be defined by prospective randomized controlled trials.

Patients with early relapse of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) have a poor prognosis, and no standard treatment. Twenty-nine patients with early disease recurrence post-transplantation were treated with azacitidine (AZA; median dose, 40 mg/m2/day for 5 to 7 days). At a median follow-up of 6.3 months (range, 1.3 to 41.1 months), 7 patients (27%) had a response to AZA, defined as complete remission, hematologic improvement, or improved donor chimerism. Response occurred after a median of 3 cycles, and the median duration of response was 70 days (range, 26 to 464 days). Median survival was 6.8 months (95% confidence interval, 3.8 to 11.1 months). Survival was similar in the patients receiving an AZA dose ≤40 mg/m2 and those receiving an AZA dose >40 mg/m2. Six patients receiving donor lymphocyte infusion with AZA had a response or stable disease without worsening graft-versus-host-disease. We retrospectively used a flow cytometry assay to explore DNA-methyltransferase-1 in blood mononuclear cells as a potential pharmacodynamic marker to assess intracellular drug targeting in 8 patients. No correlation with AZA dose or response was observed. Low-dose AZA appears to have comparable efficacy to higher-dose AZA post-HCT. A significant proportion of this poor-risk population responded to low-dose AZA, suggesting a dose-independent, noncytotoxic mechanism for antileukemic activity.

High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (AHSCT) is a standard of care for patients with relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma. Different conditioning regimens before AHSCT have been used, with the 2 most common being BEAM (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) and BUCYVP16 (busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide). We retrospectively compared the outcomes of patients treated with BEAM (nâ¯=â¯128) or BUCYVP16 (nâ¯=â¯105) followed by AHSCT. After a median follow-up of 4.2 years for BEAM and 3.8 for BUCYVP16 from AHSCT, the 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 29% with BEAM compared with 56% with BUCYVP16 (P < .001). Median progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were not reached with BEAM and were 2.0 and 7.8 years with BUCYVP16, respectively. Improved PFS (P < .001) and OS (Pâ¯=â¯.001) were observed with BEAM for patients who needed transplant within 24 months from diagnosis and for patients not in complete remission (non-CR; Pâ¯=â¯.001 and P < .001, respectively) at AHSCT. In this large retrospective comparison the use of BEAM conditioning before AHSCT resulted in a statistically significant improved PFS and OS and lower relapse compared with BUCYVP16. This supports the use of BEAM as a frontline conditioning regimen before AHSCT for early relapsed and non-CR Hodgkin lymphoma.

Relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) often carry poor prognosis and pose management challenges. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of dasatinib, a broad-spectrum multi-kinase inhibitor in relapsed/refractory NHL with correlative genomic analysis in a Phase I/II trial. The study included 33 patients with various sub-types of NHL who had received at least one prior therapy. The most common sub-types were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (24%), follicular lymphoma, grade 1/2 (21%) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS; 21%). Most patients were heavily pre-treated, including 42% with more than four prior therapies, 67% with rituximab exposure and 24% with prior autologous transplant. In this cohort, dasatinib showed modest activity in evaluable patients with an objective response rate of 29% (7/24) and clinical benefit rate of 71% (17/24). In 32 patients with outcome data, median progression-free survival was 3 months and median overall survival was 22·4 months. There were two patients with sustained complete responses, both with PTCL-NOS histology. The side effect profile was consistent with prior studies, with pleural effusion being the most common non-haematological toxicity. Exploratory genomic analysis showed two cases of PTCL-NOS with sustained response had a common mutation in LRRK2 and high prevalence of FOXO1 mutation in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma.

Even in the modern era of targeted therapies, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) can offer a chance of extended survival in B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) patients who relapse after or are deemed ineligible for autologous transplantation. A better understanding of the factors influencing the graft-versus-lymphoma (GVL) response would be useful in identifying B-NHL patients who may benefit from allo-HCT. Based on prior single-center reports, we hypothesized that certain HLA alleles, or haplotypes, may be associated with superior GVL compared with others after allo-HCT. To test this possibility we retrospectively evaluated whether the presence of HLA-A2, HLA-C1C1, HLA-DRB1*01:01, or HLA-DRB1*13 alleles or the presence of HLA-A1+, HLA-A2-, and HLA-B44- haplotypes is associated with outcomes in a cohort of 1314 HLA-8/8 matched sibling or unrelated donor HCT for relapsed/refractory B-NHL. We observed no significant association between any HLA allele or haplotype and overall survival or any of the secondary endpoints. In conclusion, this study represents the largest reported series of allo-HCT outcomes of B-NHL patients based on HLA type. Identification of other variables will be required to delineate the immunologic impact of donor-host interactions on outcomes of allo-HCT for B-NHL.

Relapse is the main cause of treatment failure after allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Injectable azacitidine can improve post-transplant outcomes but presents challenges with exposure and compliance. Oral CC-486 allows extended dosing to prolong azacitidine activity. We investigated use of CC-486 maintenance therapy after alloSCT. Adults with MDS or AML in morphologic complete remission at CC-486 initiation (42 to 84 days after alloSCT) were included. Patients received 1 of 4 CC-486 dosing schedules per 28-day cycle for up to 12 cycles. Endpoints included safety, pharmacokinetics, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) incidence, relapse/progression rate, and survival. Of 30 patients, 7 received CC-486 once daily for 7 days per cycle (200 mg, nâ¯=â¯3; 300 mg, nâ¯=â¯4) and 23 for 14 days per cycle (150 mg, nâ¯=â¯4; 200 mg, nâ¯=â¯19 [expansion cohort]). Grades 3 to 4 adverse events were infrequent and occurred with similar frequency across regimens. Standard concomitant medications did not alter CC-486 pharmacokinetic parameters. Three patients (10%) experienced grade III acute GVHD and 9 experienced chronic GVHD. Of 28 evaluable patients, 6 (21%) relapsed or had progressive disease: 3 of 7 patients (43%) who had received 7-day dosing and 3 of 23 (13%) who had received 14-day dosing. Transplant-related mortality was 3%. At 19 months of follow-up, median overall survival was not reached. Estimated 1-year survival rates were 86% and 81% in the 7-day and 14-day dosing cohorts, respectively. CC-486 maintenance was generally well tolerated, with low rates of relapse, disease progression, and GVHD. CC-486 maintenance may permit epigenetic manipulation of the alloreactive response postallograft. Findings require confirmation in randomized trials. (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01835587.).

Patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) experiencing early therapy failure (ETF) within 2 years of frontline chemoimmunotherapy have poor overall survival (OS). We analyzed data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) and the National LymphoCare Study (NLCS) to determine whether autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (autoHCT) can improve outcomes in this high-risk FL subgroup. ETF was defined as failure to achieve at least partial response after frontline chemoimmunotherapy or lymphoma progression within 2 years of frontline chemoimmunotherapy. We identified 2 groups: the non-autoHCT cohort (patients from the NLCS with ETF not undergoing autoHCT) and the autoHCT cohort (CIBMTR patients with ETF undergoing autoHCT). All patients received rituximab-based chemotherapy as frontline treatment; 174 non-autoHCT patients and 175 autoHCT patients were identified and analyzed. There was no difference in 5-year OS between the 2 groups (60% versus 67%, respectively; P = .16). A planned subgroup analysis showed that patients with ETF receiving autoHCT soon after treatment failure (≤1 year of ETF; n = 123) had higher 5-year OS than those without autoHCT (73% versus 60%, P = .05). On multivariate analysis, early use of autoHCT was associated with significantly reduced mortality (hazard ratio, .63; 95% confidence interval, .42 to .94; P = .02). Patients with FL experiencing ETF after frontline chemoimmunotherapy lack optimal therapy. We demonstrate improved OS when receiving autoHCT within 1 year of treatment failure. Results from this unique collaboration between the NLCS and CIBMTR support consideration of early consolidation with autoHCT in select FL patients experiencing ETF.

Natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphomas are a rare and distinct subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. NK/T-cell lymphomas are predominantly extranodal and most of these are nasal type, often localized to the upper aerodigestive tract. Because extranodal NK/T-cell lymphomas (ENKL) are rare malignancies, randomized trials comparing different regimens have not been conducted to date and standard therapy has not yet been established for these patients. These NCCN Guidelines Insights discuss the recommendations for the diagnosis and management of patients with ENKL as outlined in the NCCN Guidelines for T-Cell Lymphomas.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The purpose of the study is to summarize the current conundrums in the management of marginal zone lymphomas (MZL). RECENT FINDINGS: In 2017, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ibrutinib, a first in class Bruton Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor, for the treatment of relapsed/refractory MZL based on pivotal open-label phase II trial demonstrating an overall response rates of 48%. Clinical trials design utilizing chemotherapy-free regimens for relapsed/refractory disease are gaining popularity. Recent studies have identified multiple genetic biomarkers that helped characterize and prognosticate different subtypes of MZL. MZLs are heterogeneous, mostly indolent, malignancies derived from B lymphocytes. Three disease subtypes are recognized, extranodal, nodal, and splenic. The disease characteristics, clinical picture, and treatment algorithms vary considerably based on subtype and site of involvement. Recent discoveries have enhanced our knowledge of the pathogenesis of MZLs leading to development of more accurate prognostic models as well as novel targeted systemic therapies.

Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) is a B-cell lymphoma arising from mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). The disease characteristics, clinical course and treatment vary considerably based on site of involvement. Because long-term outcome data for EMZL are limited, we sought to describe the clinical details of a large number of patients with EMZL evaluated at the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center over a 12-year period to identify prognostic markers including the impact of site of involvement. We identified 211 cases of EMZL involving the stomach (30%), ocular adnexa (19%), lungs (16%) and intestines (9%). Initial treatment included antibiotics (18%), radiation (21%), rituximab (20%), chemotherapy (3%), rituximab + chemotherapy (7%), surgery (17%) or observation (8%). After a median follow-up of 44·3 months (range 2·2-214·9), median progression-free survival (PFS) was 68·2 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 54·5-111·3) and median overall survival (OS) has not been reached. Age >60 years, elevated lactate dehydrogenase level (LDH), ≥4 lymph node groups involvement, and high follicular lymphoma international prognostic index (FLIPI) were associated with inferior PFS/OS. In summary, patients with EMZL have excellent prognosis with median OS in excess of 10 years. Age, elevated LDH, advanced disease, and high FLIPI score are associated with worse outcomes.

Nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL) is a rare non-Hodgkin lymphoma that arises from mature B-cells. We delineate outcomes, prognostic factors and treatment trends among a large cohort of patients with NMZL in the rituximab era. We identified 56 such patients treated at our institutions. The majority presented with advanced stage disease (78·6%). Over a median follow-up of 38·2 months, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 42·4 months and median overall survival (OS) was not reached. Kaplan-Meier estimates of OS at 120 months after diagnosis was 71·9%. High-risk follicular lymphoma international prognostic index (FLIPI) was associated with inferior PFS. Age >60 years and elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were associated with inferior OS. Transformation to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma occurred in 7 patients, 6 of who presented with advanced disease. OS was comparable to our previously reported extranodal MZL cohort. FLIPI score predicted for inferior PFS and OS when both cohorts were analysed together (n = 267). In summary, outcomes in NMZL are favourable with a large majority of patients surviving at 120 months. High risk FLIPI, age >60 years, and elevated serum LDH were associated with inferior outcomes.

Brentuximab vedotin (BV), an antibody-drug conjugate that targets CD30, induces high response rates in CD30(+) lymphoid malignancies. It is unknown if BV use affects procurement of autologous CD34(+) stem cells and hematopoietic engraftment after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). We examined 42 patients treated with BV before mobilization. Median times from diagnosis to transplantation, from initial BV treatment to transplantation, and from last BV treatment to stem cell collection were 21 months (range, 10 to 210), 5 months (range, 1.5 to 16.8), and 30 days (range, 2 to 280), respectively. Mobilization was successful on the first attempt in 38 patients (90.4%). The median number of infused CD34(+) cells was 5.46 × 10(6)/kg (range, 1.65 to 54.78 × 10(6)/kg). The median times to neutrophil and platelet engraftment were 10 (range, 9 to 13), and 10.5 days (range, 7 to 35), respectively. BV before high-dose chemotherapy-ASCT did not adversely affect peripheral blood stem cell mobilization and subsequent engraftment in a cohort of heavily pretreated patients with CD30(+) lymphomas.
