RESUMO

OBJECTIVE AND METHODS: In order to assess the efficacy of brentuximab vedotin (Bv) in combination with bendamustine (B) in multiple relapsed or refractory (RR) classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), medical records of 47 patients treated with BvB in second relapse or beyond were reviewed. RESULTS: The median number of previous treatments was 2 (1-4). Bv was given at 1.8 mg/kg on day 1 and bendamustine at 90 mg/m2 on days 1 and 2 of a 21-day cycle. The median number of BvB cycles was 4 (2-7), and all patients were evaluable for efficacy. The CR and OR rates were 49% and 79%, respectively; 67% of responding patients and 2 in stable disease proceeded to a SCT procedure. After a median follow-up of 19 months (5-47), median PFS was 18 months (95%CI: 23-29), and the 2-year OS was 72%. Significantly longer PFS and OS were observed in patients attaining a major clinical response to treatment and in those who received consolidation with SCT. Fifteen (32%) patients experienced severe (G > 2) toxicity. The main toxicities were neutropenia (23%), gastrointestinal (10%), peripheral sensory neuropathy (11%), and infection (4%). CONCLUSION: Our real-world results suggest that BvB is an effective third-line rescue and bridge-to-transplant regimen for RR-cHL patients.

RESUMO

After FDA and EMA approval of the regimen containing polatuzumab vedotin plus rituximab and bendamustine (PolaBR), eligible relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients in Italy were granted early access through a Named Patient Program. A multicentric observational retrospective study was conducted focusing on the effectiveness and safety of PolaBR in everyday clinical practice. Fifty-five patients were enrolled. There were 26 females (47.3%), 32 patients were primary refractory and 45 (81.8%) resulted refractory to their last therapy. The decision to add or not bendamustine was at physician's discretion. Thirty-six patients underwent PolaBR, and 19 PolaR. The 2 groups did not differ in most of baseline characteristics. The final overall response rate was 32.7% (18.2% complete response rate), with a best response rate of 49.1%. Median disease-free survival was reached at 12 months, median progression-free survival at 4.9 months and median overall survival at 9 months, respectively. Overall, 88 adverse events (AEs) were registered during treatment in 31 patients, 22 of grade ≥3. Eight cases of neuropathy occurred, all of grades 1-2 and all related to polatuzumab. The two groups of treatment did not differ for effectiveness endpoints but presented statistically significant difference in AEs occurrence, especially in hematological AEs, in AEs of grade equal or greater than 3 and in incidence of neuropathy. Our data add useful information on the effectiveness of Pola(B)R in the setting of heavily pretreated DLBCL and may also suggest a better tolerability in absence of bendamustine without compromise of efficacy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Burkitt's lymphoma is a non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma, occurring mostly in Equatorial Africa. According to the WHO, classification is three different variants: sporadic, endemic, and immunodeficient-associated. Here, we present a patient with "sporadic" primary epidural Burkitt's lymphoma resulting in chronic low back pain (LBP). CASE DESCRIPTION: A 63-year-old female presented with a 2-month history of LBP and the left lower extremity sciatica. The thoracolumbar MRI showed a L5 irregular, osteolytic epidural lesion that was hypointense on T1-weighted images, hyperintense on STIR studies, and inhomogeneously enhanced with contrast. Additional hypointense lesions were also seen at the L2, L3, and L4 levels. The patient underwent a L4-L5 laminectomy for piecemeal epidural resection of tumor, and a L4-S1 transpedicular screws/rod fusion. In addition, a L2-L3 radiofrequency ablation was performed. The histological examination documented a primary "sporadic" spinal Burkitt's lymphoma. The patient subsequently was treated with both radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy. CONCLUSION: Primary "sporadic" spinal Burkitt's lymphoma is rare. Following tumor resection, adjunctive radiation and chemotherapy are typically warranted.
