RESUMEN
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is an indolent lymphoma that becomes aggressive due to histological transformation (HT), leading to reduced survival. Patients with FL have different clinical courses and various treatment options. Some patients exhibit shorter survival and experience disease progression within 24 months of diagnosis/treatment (POD24); the optimal treatment remains an unmet needs. Thus, identifying factors that predict shorter survival is essential to stratify treatment and prolong the survival of patients with FL. To analyze risk factors for POD24 and HT in patients treated with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) as first-line treatment, we performed this post-hoc analysis of patients with advanced indolent B-cell lymphoma in a randomized clinical trial wherein six cycles of R-CHOP were administered every 2-3 weeks. The primary analysis showed no differences in outcomes, which enabled the analysis of 248 patients with FL, assigned to two arms. All histopathological specimens from the 300 enrolled patients were reviewed by three expert hematopathologists. Multivariable analysis implicated Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI) intermediate (odds ratio [OR] 2.531, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.676-9.466) and high- (OR 2.236, 95% CI 0.160-31.226) risks, B symptoms (OR 2.091, 95% CI 0.747-5.851), and grade 3A (G3A) (OR 1.833, 95% CI 0.634-5.299) as risk factors for POD24. Furthermore, multivariable analysis through a median follow-up of 15.9 years implicated G3A (OR 2.628, 95% CI 0.806-8.575) and high-risk FLIPI (OR 4.401, 95% CI 0.186-104.377) as risk factors for HT. However, an analysis limited to the first 10 years revealed that the prognostic factors elucidated from the longer-term analysis had a greater impact on HT. G3A and high-risk FLIPI may independently predict POD24 and HT, thereby informing treatment stratification of patients with untreated advanced-stage FL in future trials, particularly to address the unmet needs of patients with POD24.

Nivolumab was approved for relapsed/refractory classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) in Japan in 2016. After its approval, a prospective, non-interventional, observational post-marketing surveillance was initiated to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of nivolumab treatment for up to 12 months in patients with relapsed/refractory cHL. Of 304 registered patients, 288 were included in safety analyses and 282 in effectiveness analyses. There were 191 (66.3%) male patients, median age was 64.0 years, and 54 patients (18.8%) had performance status ≥ 2. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reported in 183 (63.5%) patients, with grade 3-5 TRAEs in 86 (29.9%). The most common TRAEs were infusion reaction (14.6%), hepatic function abnormal (5.9%), interstitial lung disease (ILD) (5.6%), and hypothyroidism (5.2%). TRAEs of special interest in ≥ 5% of patients were infusion reaction (15.6%), hepatic failure/hepatic dysfunction/hepatitis/cholangitis sclerosing (13.2%), thyroid dysfunction (9.7%), and ILD (7.3%). In multivariable analyses, prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was a risk factor for hepatic failure/hepatic dysfunction/hepatitis/cholangitis sclerosing, and prior thyroid gland disorders was a risk factor for thyroid dysfunction. The overall response rate was 61.7%. In conclusion, nivolumab showed a similar safety profile and comparable effectiveness to that reported in clinical trials for relapsed/refractory cHL (CheckMate 205, ONO-4538-15).

ABSTRACT: Patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) mature natural killer cell and T-cell lymphoma have limited treatment options. To evaluate pralatrexate's performance and factors influencing its safety and efficacy in R/R peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), we performed a pooled analysis of data from 4 similarly designed, regulatory-mandated prospective clinical trials. Of 221 patients (median age, 59 years; 67.0% male) in the study population, 48.9% had PTCL not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), 21.3% angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, and 11.8% ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). Patients received pralatrexate for a median of 2.56 months (range, 0.03-24.18) and had a 40.7% objective response rate with a median duration of response of 9.1 months, progression-free survival 4.6 months, and overall survival 16.3 months. The most common treatment-related all-grade adverse events were stomatitis, thrombocytopenia, white blood cell count decrease, pyrexia, and vomiting. Subgroup exploratory analyses suggest improved efficacy with 1 prior line of chemotherapy vs 2 or ≥4 prior lines; PTCL-NOS or ALCL vs transformed mycosis fungoides; chemotherapy and transplant before pralatrexate vs chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy with other nontransplant treatments. In conclusion, these pooled analysis results further support using pralatrexate in patients with R/R PTCL. Prospective studies are needed to confirm the findings of subgroups analyses.

OBJECTIVE: This phase II clinical trial evaluated feasibility and tolerability of 90-minute rituximab infusion and a concentration of 4 mg/mL rituximab infusion in Japanese patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. METHODS: Treatment was rituximab with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisolone. In cycle 1, rituximab at a dose of 375 mg/m2 (4 mg/mL) was administered at the standard infusion rate stipulated in the package insert. On confirmed tolerance of rituximab, patients received 90-minute infusion in second and subsequent cycles. The primary endpoint was incidence of grade 3 or higher infusion-related reactions during 90-minute rituximab infusion in cycle 2 of rituximab with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisolone. RESULTS: All 32 patients (median age 61.5 years, 16 males, 24 with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) completed the prescribed six or eight cycles of treatment. One patient withdrew consent after cycle 1, and another developed grade 2 erythema and continued receiving 4 mg/mL at the standard infusion rate for cycle 2. The remaining 30 patients received 90-minute rituximab infusion; 28 (93.3%) completed cycle 2 at the scheduled infusion rate and dosage. No grade 3 or higher infusion-related reactions were associated with a concentration of 4 mg/mL rituximab dose or 90-min rituximab infusion in cycle 2. The most common infusion-related reaction symptoms were pruritus, hypertension and oropharyngeal discomfort. During the study, toxicities and adverse events were as expected, with no new safety signals. CONCLUSION: High-concentration dosing (4 mg/mL) and 90-minute infusion of rituximab are feasible and tolerable in Japanese patients with previously untreated follicular lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: JapicCTI-173 663.

Anti-CD20 antibody in combination with chemotherapy extends overall survival (OS) in untreated advanced-stage follicular lymphoma (FL), yet the optimal associated therapy is unclear. Data on the cumulative incidence of secondary malignancies postrelapse after conventional immunochemotherapy are scarce. A long-term analysis of rituximab combined with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (R-CHOP) as first-line treatment was conducted in a randomised clinical trial. A six-cycle R-CHOP regimen was administered every 2 or 3 weeks without rituximab maintenance. A prespecified evaluation was conducted 15 years after the completion of enrolment, following initial analysis results that showed no significant differences in outcomes at the 3-year mark. In-depth analyses were performed on the cohort of 248 patients with FL who were allocated to the two treatment arms. With a median follow-up period of 15.9 years, the 15-year OS was 76.2%. There were no protocol treatment-related deaths, nor were there any fatal infections attributable to subsequent lymphoma treatment. At 15 years, the cumulative incidence of non-haematological and haematological malignancies was 12.8% and 3.7% respectively. Histological transformation appeared after a median of 8 years. R-CHOP maintains safety and efficacy in patients with advanced FL over extended follow-up, making it a viable first-line option for patients with advanced-stage FL.

A Japanese subgroup analysis from the Asian phase II study of darinaparsin in patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety outcomes of the Japanese population. In this Asian phase II study, darinaparsin was administered to 65 patients, including 37 Japanese patients. In the Japanese population, the histopathological type of PTCL was PTCL, not otherwise specified in 26 patients (70.3%), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma in 9 patients (24.3%) and anaplastic large cell lymphoma, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) -negative in 2 patients (5.4%), and the median patient age was 70.0 (range: 43-85). 94.6% and 35.1% of the Japanese population had previously received multi-agent and single-agent regimen, respectively. The efficacy and safety were summarized and compared between the overall and Japanese populations. Based on central assessment, the overall response rate was 22.2% (8/36; 90% confidence interval [CI]: 11.6-36.5) in the Japanese population and 19.3% (11/57; 90% CI: 11.2-29.9) in the overall population. There were no essential differences in the safety profile of darinaparsin between the Japanese population and the overall population. The results of this subgroup analysis indicate that the efficacy and safety profiles of the Japanese subpopulation were broadly consistent with that of the overall population, and that darinaparsin is potentially an effective treatment with a manageable safety profile in Japanese patients with relapse or refractory PTCL.

Darinaparsin is a novel organic arsenical compound of dimethylated arsenic conjugated to glutathione, with antitumor activity and a mechanism of action markedly different from other available agents. This phase 2, nonrandomized, single-arm, open-label study evaluated the efficacy and safety of intravenous darinaparsin (300 mg/m2 over 1 hour, once daily for 5 consecutive days, per 21-day cycle) and its pharmacokinetics at multiple doses in 65 Asian patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). The primary end point was the overall response rate (ORR). The ORR based on central assessment was 19.3% (90% confidence interval, 11.2-29.9), which was significantly higher than the predefined threshold of 10% (P = .024). The ORR was 16.2% in patients with PTCL-not otherwise specified and 29.4% in patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. Tumor size decreased in 62.3% of patients. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were observed in 98.5% of patients. Grade ≥3 TEAEs with an incidence rate of ≥5% included anemia (15.4%), thrombocytopenia (13.8%), neutropenia (12.3%), leukopenia (9.2%), lymphopenia (9.2%), and hypertension (6.2%). Darinaparsin is effective and well tolerated, with TEAEs that were clinically acceptable and manageable with symptomatic treatment and dose reductions. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02653976.

Tirabrutinib is a Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor for treating B-cell malignancies. We report the final results of a Phase I study of tirabrutinib in 17 Japanese patients with B-cell malignancies. Patients were administered tirabrutinib at a dose of 160 mg, 320 mg, or 480 mg once daily, or 300 mg twice daily (N = 3, 3, 4, and 7, respectively). Three patients continued tirabrutinib until study completion (November 30, 2020). Adverse events (AEs) occurred in all 17 patients, with Grade 3-4 AEs in 8 (47.1%), serious AEs in 7 (41.2%), drug-related AEs in 16 (94.1%), and Grade 3-4 drug-related AEs in 6 (35.3%). Drug-related AEs reported in 3 or more patients were rash, vomiting, neutropenia, arthralgia, and malaise. One additional serious AE (benign neoplasm of the lung, unrelated to tirabrutinib) occurred after the previous data cutoff (January 4, 2018). Tirabrutinib administration and response assessment were continued for over 4 years in 4 patients. The overall response rate was 76.5% (13/17 patients). The median (range) time to response and duration of response were 0.9 (0.9-5.9) months and 2.59 (0.08-5.45) years, respectively. These findings demonstrate the long-term safety and efficacy of tirabrutinib in Japanese patients with B-cell malignancies.Clinical trial registration: JapicCTI-142682 ( http://www.clinicaltrials.jp/ ).

Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma with poor prognosis and few treatment options for patients with relapsed, recurrent, or refractory disease. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of valemetostat, a potent enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and EZH1 inhibitor, in treating relapsed or refractory (R/R) ATL. This multicenter phase 2 trial enrolled patients with R/R aggressive ATL (acute, lymphoma, unfavorable chronic type). Patients received valemetostat 200 mg/day orally until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point was overall response rate (ORR) centrally assessed by an independent efficacy assessment committee (IEAC). Secondary end points included best response in disease compartments, duration of response (DOR), pharmacokinetics, and safety. Twenty-five patients (median age, 69.0 years) with a median of 3 prior lines of therapy were enrolled; 24 had prior mogamulizumab treatment. The primary end point was met with a centrally reviewed ORR of 48.0% (90% confidence interval [CI], 30.5-65.9), including 5 complete and 7 partial remissions. Patients pretreated with mogamulizumab had an ORR of 45.8% (4 complete and 7 partial remissions). IEAC-assessed median DOR was not reached (NR) (95% CI, 1.87 to NR; months). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were manageable. TEAEs that occurred in ≥20% of patients included thrombocytopenia, anemia, alopecia, dysgeusia, neutropenia, lymphopenia, leukopenia, decreased appetite, and pyrexia. Grade ≥3 TEAEs included thrombocytopenia, anemia, lymphopenia, leukopenia, and neutropenia. Valemetostat demonstrated promising efficacy and tolerability in heavily pretreated patients, warranting further investigation in treating R/R ATL. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT04102150.

The safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of copanlisib were evaluated in this phase Ib/II study in Japanese patients with relapsed/refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The primary endpoint was safety at the recommended dose; efficacy endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival. In phase Ib, patients received copanlisib 45 mg intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle, and when tolerated, consecutive patients received copanlisib 60 mg. As no dose-limiting toxicities occurred at the 45 mg (n = 3) or 60 mg (n = 7) dose in phase Ib, the recommended dose for Japanese patients was determined to be 60 mg, and this dose was used in phase II (n = 15). Although all patients experienced at least one treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE), with hyperglycemia being the most common AE, no AE-related deaths were reported. The ORR was 68.0% (17/25 patients), median PFS was 302 (95% CI 231-484) days, and the duration of response was 330 (range 65-659) days. The pharmacokinetic properties of copanlisib were similar between Japanese and non-Japanese patients. Overall, copanlisib 60 mg had an acceptable safety profile and showed promising antitumor activity in Japanese patients with relapsed/refractory indolent NHL.

Tucidinostat (formerly known as chidamide) is an orally available, novel benzamide class of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that selectively blocks class I and class IIb HDAC. This multicenter phase IIb study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of tucidinostat, 40 mg twice per week (BIW), in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) assessed by an independent overall efficacy review committee. Between March 2017 and March 2019, 55 patients were treated, and 46 and 55 were evaluated for efficacy and safety, respectively. Twenty-one of 46 patients achieved objective responses with an ORR of 46% (95% confidence interval : 30.9-61.0), including five patients with complete response (CR). Responses were observed across various PTCL subtypes. In angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, there were two CR and five partial responses (PR) among eight patients, achieving an ORR of 88%. The disease control rate (CR + PR + stable disease) was 72% (33/46). The median progression-free survival, duration of response, and overall survival were 5.6 months, 11.5 months, 22.8 months, respectively. The most common adverse events (AE) (all grades) were thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, leukopenia, anemia, and diarrhea. The grade ≥3 AE emerging in ≥20% of patients included thrombocytopenia (51%), neutropenia (36%), lymphopenia (22%), and leukopenia (20%). Importantly, most of the AE were manageable by supportive care and dose modification. In conclusion, the favorable efficacy and safety profiles indicate that tucidinostat could be a new therapeutic option in patients with R/R PTCL (clinicaltrials gov. Identifier: NCT02953652).

Adult T cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) is clinically heterogeneous and is classified into four subtypes: acute, lymphoma, chronic, and smoldering. Recently, a new prognostic index based on the value of soluble interleukin-2 receptor, denoted the "iATL-PI," has been proposed for patients with smoldering and chronic ATL. To evaluate the effectiveness of the iATL-PI, we re-analyzed our previously published data on 176 patients with smoldering or chronic ATL (76 smoldering, 100 chronic) diagnosed between 2010 and 2011, as well data from the subsequent follow-up study on prognosis between 2016 and 2017. The proportions for the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk iATL-PI groups at the time of ATL diagnosis were 44.7%, 48.7%, and 5% for smoldering ATL; 6.3%, 71.9%, and 21.9% for favorable chronic ATL; and 5.9%, 27.9%, and 66.2% for unfavorable chronic ATL, respectively. The survival of patients with smoldering or chronic ATL as a whole was significantly stratified according to the three iATL-PI groups. Most patients with unfavorable chronic ATL in the low iATL-PI risk group had indolent clinical courses. Our results showed that iATL may become a useful tool to predict the prognosis of smoldering and chronic ATL, which have diverse clinical courses.

Axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) is an autologous, CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor Tcell therapy. We recently reported the 3-month follow-up results of a phase 2, multicenter, openlabel, single-arm study of axi-cel in Japanese patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) (JapicCTI-183914). Here, we present 1-year efficacy and safety data and biomarker analysis data regarding mechanisms of resistance to axi-cel. Primary and secondary endpoints included investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR), serious adverse events, and treatment-emergent adverse events. Axi-cel pharmacokinetics were also examined. Biomarker analysis was performed by cytokine measurement, immunohistochemistry, RNA sequencing, and whole-exome sequencing. At a median follow-up of 13.4 months, ORR was 86.7% (13/15 patients), and the complete response (CR) rate improved to 53.3% (8/15 patients) due to response conversion. Seven patients experienced disease progression, and one achieved CR after re-treatment with axi-cel. No new safety concerns were detected. Plausible resistance mechanisms to axi-cel varied among patients but included CD19 downregulation, programmed death-ligand 1 upregulation, and increased macrophage and angiogenesis signatures. The 1-year efficacy and safety of axi-cel were confirmed in Japanese patients with R/R LBCL. Resistance to treatment may involve multiple factors, including target antigen loss and an unfavorable tumor environment.Clinical trial registration: Japan Clinical Trials Information; JapicCTI-183914.

OBJECTIVE: HBI-8000 (tucidinostat) is a novel, oral histone deacetylase inhibitor that selectivity inhibits Class I (histone deacetylase 1, 2, 3) and Class II (histone deacetylase 10) with direct anti-tumor activity through various mechanisms of action, including epigenetic reprogramming and immunomodulation. It has been approved in China for the treatment of relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma. METHODS: This multicenter, prospective phase I dose-escalation trial evaluating the safety of twice weekly HBI-8000 was conducted in Japan. Eligible patients had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and no available standard therapy. The primary endpoint was maximum tolerated dose; secondary endpoints included anti-tumor activity, safety and pharmacokinetics. RESULTS: Fourteen patients were enrolled in the study. Twelve patients were assessed for dose-limiting toxicity: six patients in the 30 mg BIW cohort had no dose-limiting toxicitys; two of six patients in the 40 mg BIW cohort had asymptomatic dose-limiting toxicitys. Treatment was well tolerated; adverse events were predominantly mild to moderate hematologic toxicities and were managed with dose modification and supportive care. Thirteen patients were included in the efficacy analysis. Objective response was seen in five of seven patients in the 40 mg BIW cohort; three partial responders had adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma. In the 30 mg BIW cohort, three of six patients had stable disease after the first cycle. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with HBI-8000 30 and 40 mg BIW were well-tolerated and safe, with hematological toxicities as expected from other studies of histone deacetylase inhibitor. The maximum tolerated dose and recommended dosage for phase II studies of HBI-8000 is 40 mg BIW. Preliminary efficacy results are encouraging.

This multicenter, prospective phase IIb trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of tucidinostat (HBI-8000) in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) was undertaken in Japan. Eligible patients had R/R ATLL and had failed standard of care treatment with chemotherapy and with mogamulizumab. Twenty-three patients received tucidinostat 40 mg orally twice per week and were included in efficacy and safety analyses. The primary end-point was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by an independent committee. The ORR was 30.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 13.2, 52.9]. Median progression-free survival was 1.7 months (95% CI, 0.8, 7.4), median duration of response was 9.2 months (95% CI, 2.6, not reached), and median overall survival was 7.9 months (95% CI, 2.3, 18.0). All patients experienced adverse events (AEs), which were predominantly hematologic and gastrointestinal. Incidence of grade 3 or higher AEs was 78.3%; most were laboratory abnormalities (decreases in platelets, neutrophils, white blood cells, and hemoglobin). Tucidinostat was well tolerated with AEs that could be mostly managed with supportive care and dose modifications. Tucidinostat is a meaningful treatment option for R/R ATLL patients; further investigation is warranted.

Background and Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the histological type of colorectal lymphoma and its endoscopic features. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with primary colorectal lymphoma who were diagnosed using colonoscopy and biopsy specimens at the National Cancer Center Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. The lesions were macroscopically classified into the following types via colonoscopy: polypoid, ulcerative, multiple lymphomatous polyposis, diffuse, and mixed. Results: A total of 117 lesions were identified in 90 patients enrolled in this study. Of these, 59 (50%) were located in the ileocecal region, 23 (20%) in the rectum, 9 (8%) in the transverse colon, 8 (7%) in the sigmoid colon, 7 (6%) in the descending colon, and 4 (3%) in the ascending colon. Moreover, the most common histological subtypes were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in 39 patients (43%) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) in 23 patients (26%), followed by follicular lymphoma (FL; 17%), mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma (9%), peripheral T-cell lymphoma-NOS (2%), monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL; 2%), and Burkitt lymphoma (1%). More than half of the DLBCL (52%), MCL (52%), and MALT (56%) lymphomas were macroscopically classified as polypoid types. In contrast, FL lesions showed various macroscopic types. The majority of DLBCL (62%) and FL (78%) lesions were distributed in the ileocecal region. MCL lesions tended to be widely spread in various sites of the large intestine. Conclusions: Colorectal lymphomas showed macroscopically distinctive features depending on the histological type. Understanding the macroscopic classification of the lesions by colonoscopy and its distribution may be helpful in diagnosing the type of lymphoma and determining the malignant grade based on the histological types.
RESUMEN
Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a heterogeneous group of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas, the majority of which have high relapse rates following standard therapy. Despite use of consolidative stem cell transplant (SCT) following frontline therapy, there remains no consensus on its utility. The double-blind randomized phase 3 ECHELON-2 study (#NCT01777152; clinicaltrials.gov) demonstrated improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival with frontline brentuximab vedotin plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (A+CHP). Herein, we conducted an exploratory subgroups analysis of the impact of consolidative SCT on PFS in patients with previously untreated CD30+ PTCL (ALK- anaplastic large cell lymphoma [ALCL] and non-ALCL) who were in complete response (CR) after frontline treatment with A+CHP or cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone. Median PFS follow-up was 47.57 months. The PFS hazard ratio was 0.36, equating to a 64% reduction in the risk of a PFS event in patients who underwent SCT. The median PFS in patients who underwent SCT was not reached, vs 55.66 months in patients who did not undergo SCT. PFS results favored the use of SCT in both ALK- ALCL and non-ALCL subgroups. These data support the consideration of consolidative SCT in patients with CD30+PTCL who achieve CR following treatment with A+CHP.

The prognosis of patients with aggressive adult T cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATLL) is dismal even with intensive chemotherapy. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a promising option for patients with aggressive ATLL, but the posttransplant outcome remains unsatisfactory. Hence, to further improve clinical outcomes, novel therapeutic approaches are needed. The clinical significance of immune checkpoint protein expression has not been well-established in aggressive ATLL. This study aims to identify the association between the expression profile of immune checkpoint proteins on ATLL cells and clinical outcomes. This retrospective study cohort included 65 patients with aggressive ATLL diagnosed between 2001 and 2015 at the National Cancer Center Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue was used to immunohistochemically determine the expression of immune checkpoint proteins and assess the impact of expression profile on the probability of overall survival from diagnosis or HSCT. The current analysis shows that cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), programmed death-1 (PD-1), and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expressions were adverse prognostic factors in patients with aggressive ATLL. Experiments that assess the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors are warranted to alleviate the adverse impacts associated with negative immune checkpoints.
