SECONDARY MYELOID NEOPLASM (SMN) IN DIFFUSE LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA (DLBCL) SURVIVORS, A SINGLE CENTER RECENT EXPERIENCE (SIE 2023)
Survivors of DLBCL have an increased risk of secondary primary malignancies; previous studies found that incidence of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) nearly doubled in the post rituximab era...Due to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, autologous transplant was excluded, thus request for Tafasitamablenalidomide under an extended access program was sent and approved in July 2022. After two cycles, lenalidomide was reduced because of grade 3-4 neutropenia poorly responsive to G-CSF...Patient started decitabine plus venetoclax protocol that is still ongoing...Patient has been candidated to allogenic transplant and azacitidine is now ongoing...Recently, the risk of SMN is also of particular concern in the CAR-T receivers. In conclusion a better comprehension of SPM/SMN pathology in DLBCL survivors is needed in order to guide the best “tailored” surveillance.

Reduced-Dose Chemotherapy Followed By Blinatumomab As Induction Therapy in Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome-Negative B-Cell Precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia - Interim Results from a Multicenter, Single-Arm, Phase 2 Study (ASH 2023)
The induction regimen comprised reduced intensity chemotherapy (idarubicin 8 mg/m2 on day 1, vindesine 4 mg on day 1, and dexamethasone 9 mg/m2/day from day 1-7) followed by 2 weeks of blinatumomab (9 ug/day from day 8-14, 28 ug/day from day 15-21)...Consolidation therapy was given after achieving ORR with recommended multidrug combination chemotherapy (including high-dose methotrexate or cytarabine combined with asparaginase) or alternating with blinatumomab (28 ug/day for 28 days)... These preliminary results indicate that the reduced intensity chemotherapy followed by blinatumomab is an effective regimen in adults with newly diagnosed Ph-negative BCP-ALL, resulting in favorable response rates, deep remission, and low-grade treatment-related AEs. These promising findings may provide a rationale for integrating blinatumomab into future induction therapy recommendations.

Sequential Chemotherapy and Blinatumomab to Improve Minimal Residual Disease in Adult Ph- B-Lineage Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Final Results of the Phase II Gimema LAL2317 Trial (ASH 2023)
We designed a phase II trial (GIMEMA LAL2317) for adult Ph- CD19+ B-lineage ALL (Ph- B-ALL) consisting of a pediatric chemotherapy backbone – with dose adjustment in patients >55 years – to which 2 cycles of blinatumomab were added, the first after early consolidation cycle 3 (high-dose methotrexate and Ara-C) and the second after late consolidation cycle 6...Importantly, at TP3 the MRD status no longer impacted, highlighting the therapeutic role of blinatumomab, as observed in Ph+ ALL. Finally, the Ph-like signature retains its negative prognostic impact, suggesting that a combination strategy, similar to that in place for Ph+ ALL, is required.

Combination of Selinexor with BTK Inhibitor for Central Nervous System Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, Possible Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential Exploration (ASH 2023)
Combining Selinexor(1μM) with ICP-022(2μM), a BTKi, resulted in more notable inhibition of the above tumor signaling pathways...2 others were on maintenance therapy with Selinexor combined with Zanubrutinib, one of them has completed the two-year maintenance treatment and maintained sustained remission till now... This is the first report describing that Selinexor combined with BTKi can synergistically inhibit the DLBCL tumor signaling pathway and repairing the immune microenvironment. Correspondingly, in treatment of central DLBCL patients, the novel therapeutic strategy of MSZ regimen has achieved impressive results, with a CRR of 100%. Most patients attained early and rapid deep remissions with durable efficacy.

For those who received systemic therapy, all incorporated high-dose methotrexate with the median dose delivered of 3.5g/m2 per cycle and rituximab was incorporated in 48%... To our knowledge, this is the largest international multicenter cohort of patients with isolated PVRL reported in the modern era. The apparent improvement in OS compared with historical cohorts may reflect improvements in therapy in the recent decade, and incorporation of systemic therapy in frontline management demonstrated a trend to improved OS. However, high rates of CNS relapse continue to be a challenge.

Efficacy and Safety of BTK Inhibitors in Vitreoretinal Lymphoma: A Single-Center, Retrospective Analysis of 24 Patients (ASH 2023)
All 24 patients were treated with a BTK inhibitor (Zanubrutinib 160mg bid, or Orelabrutinib 150mg qd), of whom, 9 VRL patients were also treated with intravitreal methotrexate injection (0.4mg/ time, weekly ×12 times → monthly ×9 times) concurrently, and the remaining 15 patients did not receive any antitumor therapy other than BTK inhibitors... This is the largest report regarding the use of BTK inhibitors in VRL patients. BTK inhibitor has a rapid local control effect on VRL and is well tolerated. However, BTK inhibitors monotherapy has unsatisfied preventive effect on the CNS, and it is still necessary to explore the value of combinational therapy, such as combined BTK inhibitors and high-dose methotrexate.

Assessment of Outcomes of Consolidation Therapy By Number of Cycles of Blinatumomab Received in Newly Diagnosed Measurable Residual Disease Negative Patients with B-Lineage Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: In the ECOG-ACRIN E1910 Randomized Phase III National Clinical Trials Network Trial (ASH 2023)
Patient between the ages of 30 and 70 with newly diagnosed BCR::ABL1 negative B-lineage ALL were enrolled and initially received 2.5 months of combination induction chemo utilizing a BFM-like regimen adapted from the E2993/UKALLXII clinical trial, with pegaspargase (after induction only for patients >=55 years of age) and addition of rituximab for CD20 positive patients... The addition of blinatumomab to consolidation chemotherapy resulted in a significantly better overall survival compared to chemotherapy alone in pts with newly diagnosed B-lineage ALL who were MRD negative after intensification. This represents a new standard of care for pts aged 30-70 years with BCR::ABL1 negative ALL. The optimal dose and number of cycles is however unknown.

Using the NCI criteria for stratification, a significant number of patients were categorized into the SR. Additionally, introducing L-ASP during early consolidation decreased the number of MRD-positive patients, which subsequently reduced the subset needing allo-HCT.

Among the 348 patients, 62 (18%) received DA-EPOCH-R/HD-MTX, and 286 (82%) were treated with other R-chemo, such as R-CHOP (n = 254)... Our results confirmed favorable survival in the phase II study of DA-EPOCH-R/HD-MTX in clinical settings. DA-EPOCH-R/HD-MTX and IT MTX were associated with longer OS of patients with CD5+ DLBCL in our study cohort, warranting further investigation.

Further studies are warranted to determine predictive biomarkers for nivolumab treatment given the excellent survival duration in responders.

A Phase II/III Randomized Study of R-miniCHOP With or Without CC-486 (Oral Azacytidine) in Participants Age 75 Years or Older with Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma Grade IIIB Follicular Lymphoma Transformed Lymphoma and High-Grade B-Cell Lymphomas with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 Rearrangements. (SWOG-Fall 2023)
Participants must not have received any prior cytotoxic chemotherapy or rituximab for treatment of the newly diagnosed DLBCL except for the pre- phase treatment...High-dose intravenous methotrexate is not allowed...Five of the 27 participants assessed for adverse events on the R-miniCHOP arm experienced Grade 4 hematologic toxicities. An additional six participants on the CC-486 + R- miniCHOP arm and 10 participants on the R- miniCHOP arm experienced Grade 3 toxicities as maximum degree.
