VENETOCLAX AND IBRUTINIB: TWO PARTNERS FOR THE FRONT-LINE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA. (PubMed, Crit Rev Oncol Hematol)
The I+V regimen is generally manageable and well-tolerated, with toxicities consistent with those reported for single-agent use. Nonetheless, concerns regarding cardiovascular toxicities have been raised, particularly among older patients.

IGHV1 usage is associated with lymphadenopathy and aggressive disease in the TCL1 mouse model for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
In conclusion, we identified molecular, phenotypical and immunological differences between IGHV1 and IGHV11 CLL clones, which are key to consider for preclinical studies using the TCL1 mouse model. Furthermore, our data suggests that IGHV1 CLL clones model the nodal form of human CLL.

Clinical Validation of Duoseq, a novel assay for clinical DNA and RNA sequencing. (PubMed, J Mol Diagn)
SNVs, indels and SVs achieved accuracy >95%. These results establish Duoseq as a genomic profiling tool for blood cancers that can enable laboratories to provide critical diagnostic information in a time and cost-effective manner.

Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma/Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Presenting as a Nasopharyngeal Mass With Bilateral Otitis Media With Effusion: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
The patient was started on Zanubrutinib 160 mg twice daily, resulting in a rapid resolution of symptoms. SLL and CLL presenting as a nasopharyngeal mass are very rare and can be challenging for ENT experts. Adults with persistent otitis media with effusion (OME) and a nasopharyngeal mass should undergo biopsy with IHC and molecular testing to avoid underdiagnosis and ensure timely targeted therapy.

High-throughput sequencing in identifying somatic hypermutation in immunoglobulin heavy chain variable regions with complex clonal backgrounds (PubMed, Zhonghua Xue Ye Xue Za Zhi)
Compared with Sanger sequencing, NGS exhibits superior performance in assessing IGHV SHM status under complex clonal conditions. It provides greater sensitivity and accuracy in detecting subclonal components and quantifying clonal proportions, thereby providing a more precise molecular basis for diagnosing and prognostically assessing lymphoid malignancies, including CLL.

Germinal center trajectories and transcriptional signatures define CLL subtypes and their pathway regulators. (PubMed, PLoS One)
UM-CLL represented transcriptional mimicry to an early intermediary GC substage whereas M-CLL mimicked later substages in the GC. This could potentially explain the IGHV mutational status of M-CLL as well as hypothesize that CLL subtypes could derive from a GC-dependent pathway.

Continuous DNA Methylation Deconvolution-Based Surrogate for B-Cell Differentiation State in CLL. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
We also identified an epigenetic signal associated with tumor burden, which may have some relation to viral infections such as Epstein-Barr-Virus. Our cell-type deconvolution-based approach to developing a continuous metric for CLL epigenetic differentiation state can be applied to other tumors with multiple subtypes across differentiation stages.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia: criteria for first-line therapeutic choice-an opinion paper. (PubMed, Med Oncol)
Recent advancements in Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors like acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib offer improved efficacy and safety profiles, impacting treatment choice for all patients namely elderly patients with comorbidities. Targeted therapy is preferred for most patients, with geriatric assessment pivotal for treatment decisions. Second-generation drugs aim to improve outcomes both in efficacy and safety, advocating for a patient-centered approach in clinical studies.
