- Abstract
Recent advances in the understanding of Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) biology have impacted the development of effective novel agents and improved our knowledge of how the genomic background of WM may influence selection of therapy. Consensus Panel 7 (CP7) of the 11thInternational Workshop on WM was convened to examine the current generation of completed and ongoing clinical trials involving novel agents, consider updated data on WM genomics, and make recommendations on the design and prioritization of future clinical trials. CP7 considers limited duration and novel-novel agent combinations to be the priority for the next generation of clinical trials. Evaluation of MYD88, CXCR4and TP53at baseline in the context of clinical trials is crucial. The common chemoimmunotherapy backbones, bendamustine-rituximab (BR) and dexamethasone, rituximab and cyclophosphamide (DRC), may be considered standard-of-care for the frontline comparative studies. Key unanswered questions include the definition of frailty in WM; the importance of attaining a very good partial response or better (≥VGPR), within stipulated time frame, in determining survival outcomes; and the optimal treatment of WM populations with special needs

We update this comparison using the ZUMA-5 24-month data. Research design and methods The SCHOLAR-5 cohort is comprised of r/r FL patients who initiated ≥3rd line of therapy after July 2014 and meeting ZUMA-5 eligibility criteria. Groups were balanced for patient characteristics through propensity scoring on prespecified prognostic factors using standardized mortality ratio (SMR) weighting. The overall response rate was compared using a weighted logistic regression. Time-to-event outcomes were evaluated using a Cox regression. Results For SCHOLAR-5, the sum of weights for the 143 patients was 85 after SMR weighting, versus 86 patients in ZUMA-5. The median follow-up was 29.4 months and 25.4 months for ZUMA-5 and SCHOLAR-5, respectively. The hazard ratios for overall survival and progression-free survival were 0.52 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.28–0.95) and 0.28 (95% CI: 0.17–0.45), favoring axi-cel. Conclusion This updated analysis, using a longer minimum follow-up than a previously published analysis, shows that the improved efficacy of axi-cel, relative to available therapies, in r/r FL is durable. This manuscript was funded by Kite, a Gilead Company.

Follicular lymphoma Limfoma fol·licular Linfoma folicular In the pivotal ZUMA-5 trial, axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel; an autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy) demonstrated high rates of durable response in relapsed/refractory (r/r) follicular lymphoma (FL) patients. Here, outcomes from ZUMA-5 are compared with the international SCHOLAR-5 cohort, which applied key ZUMA-5 trial eligibility criteria simulating randomized controlled trial conditions. SCHOLAR-5 data were extracted from institutions in 5 countries, and from 1 historical clinical trial, for r/r FL patients who initiated a third or higher line of therapy after July 2014. Patient characteristics were balanced through propensity scoring on prespecified prognostic factors using standardized mortality ratio (SMR) weighting. Time-to-event outcomes were evaluated using weighted Kaplan-Meier analysis. Overall response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) rate were compared using weighted odds ratios. The 143 ScHOLAR-5 patients reduced to an effective sample of 85 patients after SMR weighting vs 86 patients in ZUMA-5. Median follow-up time was 25.4 and 23.3 months for SCHOLAR-5 and ZUMA-5. Median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in SCHOLAR-5 were 59.8 months and 12.7 months and not reached in ZUMA-5. Hazard ratios for OS and PFS were 0.42 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.21-0.83) and 0.30 (95% CI, 0.18-0.49). The ORR and CR rate were 49.9% and 29.9% in SCHOLAR-5 and 94.2% and 79.1% in ZUMA-5, for odds ratios of 16.2 (95% CI, 5.6-46.9) and 8.9 (95% CI, 4.3-18.3). Compared with available therapies, axi-cel demonstrated an improvement in meaningful clinical endpoints, suggesting axi-cel addresses an important unmet need for r/r FL patients. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03105336. Was provided by Kite Pharma, a Gilead company, for this study.

- Abstract
Purpose: Greater disease burden is a well-established predictor of poorer outcomes following chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CART). While bridging therapy (BT) is widely used between leukapheresis and CAR T infusion, limited data has evaluated the impact of BT on CART outcomes. In this study, we hypothesized that the quantitative dynamics of radiomic cytoreduction during bridging are prognostic., Patients and Methods: Patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) treated with CD19-CART from 2016-2022 were included. Metabolic tumor volume (MTV) was determined for all patients on pre-leukapheresis PET and on post-BT/pre-infusion PET in those who received BT. Patients were stratified into 'High' and 'Low' disease burden using an MTV cutpoint of 65.4cc established by maximally selected log-rank statistic for progression free survival (PFS)., Results: Of 191 patients treated with CART, 144 (75%) received BT. In the BT cohort, 56% had any reduction in MTV post-BT. On multivariate analysis, MTV trajectory across the bridging period remained significantly associated with PFS (p<0.001), however notably patients with improved MTV (High->Low) had equivalent PFS compared to those with initially and persistently low MTV (Low->Low) (HR for High->Low MTV: 2.74, CI: 0.82-9.18). There was a reduction in any Grade ICANS in the High->Low MTV cohort as compared to High->High (13 vs. 41%, p=0.05)., Conclusions: This is the first study to use radiomics to quantify disease burden pre- and post-BT in a large real world LBCL cohort. We demonstrate that effective BT can enable initially high-disease burden patients to achieve post-CART outcomes comparable to low-disease burden patients.

- Abstract
An unmet need exists for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) and high-risk disease features, such as progression of disease within 24 months (POD24) from first-line immunochemotherapy or disease refractory to both CD20-targeting agent and alkylator (double refractory), due to no established standard of care and poor outcomes. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is an option in R/R FL after two or more lines of prior systemic therapy, but there is no consensus on its optimal timing in the disease course of FL, and there are no data in second-line (2L) treatment of patients with high-risk features. Lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) is an autologous, CD19-directed, 4-1BB CAR T cell product. The phase 2 TRANSCEND FL study evaluated liso-cel in patients with R/R FL, including 2L patients who all had POD24 from diagnosis after treatment with anti-CD20 antibody and alkylator ≤6 months of FL diagnosis and/or met modified Groupe d'Etude des Lymphomes Folliculaires criteria. Primary/key secondary endpoints were independent review committee-assessed overall response rate (ORR)/complete response (CR) rate. At data cutoff, 130 patients had received liso-cel (median follow-up, 18.9 months). Primary/key secondary endpoints were met. In third-line or later FL (n = 101), ORR was 97% (95% confidence interval (CI): 91.6‒99.4), and CR rate was 94% (95% CI: 87.5‒97.8). In 2L FL (n = 23), ORR was 96% (95% CI: 78.1‒99.9); all responders achieved CR. Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 58% of patients (grade ≥3, 1%); neurological events occurred in 15% of patients (grade ≥3, 2%). Liso-cel demonstrated efficacy and safety in patients with R/R FL, including high-risk 2L FL. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04245839 ., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are an established treatment for B cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHL). With the remarkable success in improving survival, understanding the late effects of CAR T cell therapy is becoming more relevant. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of subsequent malignancies in adult patients with B-NHL. We retrospectively studied 355 patients from 2 different medical centers treated with four different CAR T cell products from 2016 to 2022. The overall cumulative incidence for subsequent malignancies at 36 months was 14% (95% CI: 9.2%, 19%). Subsequent malignancies were grouped into 3 primary categories: solid tumor, hematologic malignancy, and dermatologic malignancy with cumulative incidences at 36 months of 6.1% (95% CI: 3.1%-10%), 4.5% (95% CI: 2.1%-8.1%) and 4.2% (95% CI: 2.1%-7.5%) respectively. Notably, no cases of T cell malignancies were observed. In univariable analysis, increasing age was associated with higher risk for subsequent malignancy. While the overall benefits of CAR T products continue to outweigh their potential risks, more studies and longer follow ups are needed to further demonstrate the risks, patterns, and molecular pathways that lead to the development of subsequent malignancies., (Copyright © 2024 The American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.

- Abstract
The activity of anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with Richter's transformation (RT) to aggressive large B cell lymphoma (LBCL) is largely unknown. In a multicenter retrospective study, we report the safety and efficacy of CAR T cell therapy in patients with RT (n=30) compared to patients with aggressive B cell lymphoma (n=283) and patients with transformed indolent Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (iNHL) (n=141) between April 2016 and January 2023. Two-thirds of patients received prior therapy for CLL before RT and 89% of them received B-cell receptor and B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. Toxicities of CAR T cell therapy in RT were similar to other lymphomas, with no fatalities related to cytokine release syndrome or immune effector-cell associated neurotoxicity synderome. The 100-day overall response rate and complete response rates in patients with RT were 57% and 47%, respectively. With a median follow up of 19 months, the median overall survival (OS) was 9.9 months in patients with RT compared to 18 months in de-novo LBCL and not reached in patients with transformed iNHL. The OS at 12 months was 45% in patients with RT compared with 62% and 75% in patients with de novo LBCL and transformed iNHL, respectively. In a multivariate analysis, worse OS was associated with RT histology, elevated LDH, and more prior lines of therapy. CAR T cell therapy can salvage a proportion of patients with CLL and RT exposed to prior targeted agents; however, efficacy in RT is inferior compared to de novo LBCL and transformed iNHL.

- Abstract
CAR T-cell therapy (CAR T) for central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL) is a promising strategy, yet responses are frequently not durable. Bridging radiotherapy (BRT) is used for extra-cranial lymphoma where it can improve CAR T outcomes through cytoreduction of high-risk lesions. We hypothesized that BRT would achieve similar, significant cytoreduction prior to CAR T for CNSL (CNS-BRT). We identified CNSL patients with non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma who received CNS-BRT prior to commercial CAR T. Cytoreduction from CNS-BRT was calculated as change in lesion size prior to CAR T. Twelve patients received CNS-BRT, and the median follow up among survivors is 11.8 months (IQR: 8.5 - 21.9). Ten patients had CNSL (9 secondary, 1 primary) and 2 patients had epidural disease (evaluable for toxicity). All ten patients with CNSL had progressive disease at the time of CNS-BRT. 1/12 patients experienced grade ≥ 3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and 3/12 patients experienced grade ≥ 3 immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). CNS-BRT achieved a 74.0% (95% confidence interval: 62.0 - 86.0) mean reduction in lesion size from baseline (p = 0.014) at a median of 12 days from BRT completion and prior to CAR T infusion. Best CNS response included 8 complete responses (CR), 1 partial response (PR), and 1 progressive disease (PD). Three patients experienced CNS relapse outside the BRT field. Preliminary data suggest CNS-BRT achieves rapid cytoreduction and is associated with a favorable CNS response and safety profile. These data support further study of BRT as a bridging modality for CNSL CAR T., (Copyright © 2024 American Society of Hematology.)

Abstract: Rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) is considered the standard-of-care for patients with advanced-stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), despite findings that patients with nongerminal center B-cell like (non-GCB) have significantly worse outcome with this regimen. We evaluated the prognostic significance of baseline risk factors, including cell of origin (COO) classified by the Hans algorithm, within an alternative chemoimmunotherapy program. At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK), 151 patients with DLBCL received sequential R-CHOP induction and (R)-ICE (rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide) consolidation. Outcome analysis based on COO was validated with a propensity score-matched cohort treated with R-CHOP from the Mayo Clinic component of the Molecular Epidemiology Resource (MER). Among the patients with GCB (n = 69) and non-GCB (n = 69) at MSK, event-free survival (EFS) of non-GCB was superior to that of GCB (hazard ratio [HR], 0.53; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.29-0.98). Overall survival (OS) demonstrated an association in the same direction but was not statistically significant (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.33-1.42). Propensity score-matched patients from MSK (n = 108) demonstrated a small attenuation in the HRs for EFS (HR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.27-1.18) and OS (HR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.33-1.79) and were no longer statistically significant. In contrast, the matched MER cohort (n = 108) demonstrated an EFS association (HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 0.70-1.95) and OS association (HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.64-2.00) in the opposite direction, but were also not statistically significant. R-CHOP induction and (R)-ICE consolidation may overcome the negative prognostic impact of the non-GCB phenotype, per the Hans algorithm, and can be preferentially selected for this population. This trial was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT00039195 and #NCT00712582., (© 2024 by The American Society of Hematology.

- Abstract
Recent reports have raised concerns about the association of chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) with non-negligible cardiotoxicity, particularly atrial arrhythmias. First, we conducted a pharmacovigilance study to assess the reporting of atrial arrhythmias following CD19-directed CAR-T. Subsequently, to determine the incidence, risk factors and outcomes of atrial arrhythmias post-CAR-T, we compiled a retrospective single-centre cohort of non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Only commercial CAR-T products were considered. Atrial arrhythmias were nearly fourfold more likely to be reported after CAR-T therapy compared to all other cancer patients in the FAERS (adjusted ROR = 3.76 [95% CI 2.67-5.29]). Of the 236 patients in our institutional cohort, 23 (10%) developed atrial arrhythmias post-CAR-T, including 12 de novo arrhythmias, with most (83%) requiring medical intervention. Atrial arrhythmias frequently co-occurred with cytokine release syndrome and were associated with higher post-CAR-T infusion peak levels of IL-10, TNF-alpha and LDH, and lower trough levels of fibrinogen. In a multivariable analysis, risk factors for atrial arrhythmia were history of atrial arrhythmia (OR = 6.80 [2.39-19.6]) and using CAR-T product with a CD28-costimulatory domain (OR = 5.17 [1.72-18.6]). Atrial arrhythmias following CD19-CAR-T therapy are prevalent and associated with elevated inflammatory biomarkers, a history of atrial arrhythmia and the use of a CAR-T product with a CD28 costimulatory domain., (© 2024 British Society for Haematology and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)

- Abstract
In the pivotal ZUMA-5 trial, axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel; an autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy) demonstrated high rates of durable response in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma patients. SCHOLAR-5 is an external control cohort designed to act as a comparator to ZUMA-5. Here, we present an updated comparative analysis of ZUMA-5 and SCHOLAR-5, using the 36-month follow-up data and the intent-to-treat population of ZUMA-5. Using propensity-score methods, 127 patients in ZUMA-5 were compared to 129 patients in SCHOLAR-5. At this extended follow-up, axi-cel continues to demonstrate clinically meaningful benefits in survival compared to historically available treatments in this population., Competing Interests: Disclosures PG has received consultancy fees from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, Kyowa Hakko Kirin and Secura Bio, and research funding from Kite, a Gilead Company.

- Abstract
Relapse and toxicity limit the effectiveness of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy for large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), yet biomarkers that predict outcomes and toxicity are lacking. We examined radiomic features extracted from pre-CAR-T
18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ([18 F]FDG PET/CT) scans (n = 341) of 180 patients (121 male; median age, 66 years). Three conventional (maximum standardized uptake value [SUVmax], metabolic tumor volume [MTV], total lesion glycolysis [TLG]) and 116 novel radiomic features were assessed, along with inflammatory markers, toxicities, and outcomes. At both pre-apheresis and pre-infusion time points, conventional PET features of disease correlated with elevated inflammatory markers. At pre-infusion, MTV was associated with grade ≥ 2 cytokine release syndrome (odds ratio [OR] for 100 mL increase: 1.08 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-1.20], P = 0.031), and SUVmax was associated with failure to achieve complete response (CR) (OR 1.72 [95% CI, 1.24-2.43], P < 0.001). Higher pre-apheresis and pre-infusion MTV values were associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) (HR for 10-unit increase: 1.11 [95% CI, 1.05-1.17], P < 0.001; 1.04 [95% CI, 1.02-1.07], P < 0.001) and shorter overall survival (HR for 100-unit increase: 1.14 [95% CI, 1.07-1.21], P < 0.001; 1.04 [95% CI, 1.02-1.06], P < 0.001). A combined MTV and LDH measure stratified patients into high and low PFS risk groups. Multiple pre-infusion novel radiomic features were associated with CR. These quantitative conventional [18 F]FDG PET/CT features obtained before CAR-T cell infusion, which were correlated with inflammation markers, may provide prognostic biomarkers for CAR-T therapy efficacy and toxicity. The use of conventional and novel radiomic features may thus help identify high-risk patients for earlier interventions., (© 2024. The Author(s).)- Published

- Abstract
Purpose: To report the primary analysis results from the mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cohort of the phase I seamless design TRANSCEND NHL 001 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02631044) study., Methods: Patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) MCL after ≥two lines of previous therapy, including a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi), an alkylating agent, and a CD20-targeted agent, received lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) at a target dose level (DL) of 50 × 10
6 (DL1) or 100 × 106 (DL2) chimeric antigen receptor-positive T cells. Primary end points were adverse events (AEs), dose-limiting toxicities, and objective response rate (ORR) by independent review committee per Lugano criteria., Results: Of 104 leukapheresed patients, liso-cel was infused into 88. Median (range) number of previous lines of therapy was three (1-11) with 30% receiving ≥five previous lines of therapy, 73% of patients were age 65 years and older, 69% had refractory disease, 53% had BTKi refractory disease, 23% had TP53 mutation, and 8% had secondary CNS lymphoma. Median (range) on-study follow-up was 16.1 months (0.4-60.5). In the efficacy set (n = 83; DL1 + DL2), ORR was 83.1% (95% CI, 73.3 to 90.5) and complete response (CR) rate was 72.3% (95% CI, 61.4 to 81.6). Median duration of response was 15.7 months (95% CI, 6.2 to 24.0) and progression-free survival was 15.3 months (95% CI, 6.6 to 24.9). Most common grade ≥3 treatment-emergent AEs were neutropenia (56%), anemia (37.5%), and thrombocytopenia (25%). Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was reported in 61% of patients (grade 3/4, 1%; grade 5, 0), neurologic events (NEs) in 31% (grade 3/4, 9%; grade 5, 0), grade ≥3 infections in 15%, and prolonged cytopenia in 40%., Conclusion: Liso-cel demonstrated high CR rate and deep, durable responses with low incidence of grade ≥3 CRS, NE, and infections in patients with heavily pretreated R/R MCL, including those with high-risk, aggressive disease.- Published

- Abstract
Abstract: Lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) demonstrated significant efficacy with a manageable safety profile as third-line or later treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) in the TRANSCEND NHL 001 study. Primary end points were adverse events (AEs), dose-limiting toxicities, and objective response rate (ORR) per independent review committee. Key secondary end points were complete response (CR) rate, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). After 2-year follow-up, patients could enroll in a separate study assessing long-term (≤15 years) safety and OS. Liso-cel-treated patients (N = 270) had a median age of 63 years (range, 18-86 years) and a median of 3 prior lines (range, 1-8) of systemic therapy, and 181 of them (67%) had chemotherapy-refractory LBCL. Median follow-up was 19.9 months. In efficacy-evaluable patients (N = 257), the ORR was 73% and CR rate was 53%. The median (95% confidence interval) DOR, PFS, and OS were 23.1 (8.6 to not reached), 6.8 (3.3-12.7), and 27.3 months (16.2-45.6), respectively. Estimated 2-year DOR, PFS, and OS rates were 49.5%, 40.6%, and 50.5%, respectively. In the 90-day treatment-emergent period (N = 270), grade 3 to 4 cytokine release syndrome and neurological events occurred in 2% and 10% of patients, respectively. The most common grade ≥3 AEs in treatment-emergent and posttreatment-emergent periods, respectively, were neutropenia (60% and 7%) and anemia (37% and 6%). Liso-cel demonstrated durable remissions and a manageable safety profile with no new safety signals during the 2-year follow-up in patients with R/R LBCL. These trials were registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT02631044 and #NCT03435796., (© 2024 American Society of Hematology. Published by Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Osseous involvement by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL-bone) is a heterogeneous disease. There is limited data regarding response assessment by positron emission tomography with fluorodeoxyglucose, which may demonstrate residual avidity despite a complete response. We analyzed clinical data of patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL and identified all cases with DLBCL-bone. End of treatment scans were reviewed by two independent experts classifying osseous lesions into Deauville (DV) ≤3; DV ≥4, or reactive uptake in the bone marrow (M), site of fracture (F) or surgery (S). We compared outcomes of DLBCL-bone to other extranodal sites (EN) matched on International Prognotic Index features and regimen. Of 1,860 patients with DLBCL (bone 16%; EN 45%; nodal 39%), 41% had localized disease and 59% advanced. Only 9% (n=27) of patients with initial bone involvement had residual fluorodeoxyglucose avidity at the osseous site. In half of these cases, the uptake was attributed to F/S/M, and of the remaining 13, only two were truly refractory (both with persistent disease at other sites). Overall survival and progression-free survival (PFS) were found to be similar for early- stage nodal DLBCL and DLBCL-bone, but inferior in EN-DLBCL. Advanced-stage disease involving the bone had a similar 5-year PFS to nodal disease and EN-DLBCL. After matching for International Prognotic Index and treatment regiments, PFS between bone and other EN sites was similar. Osseous involvement in DLBCL does not portend a worse prognosis. End of treatment DV ≥4 can be expected in 5-10% of cases, but in the absence of other signs of refractory disease, may be followed expectantly.

- Abstract
Data describing outcomes of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in patients with secondary central nervous system (SCNS) involvement of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are limited. We identified 10 patients with MCL and SCNS involvement treated with anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy at three US academic centres. Frequent objective responses were observed in the CNS (86%) and systemically (90%), and the 1-year progression-free survival was 47%. Seven patients developed immune-effector-cell-associated-neurotoxicity-syndrome (n = 2 Grade 1, n = 5 Grade 3). Our results suggest that anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy in this setting is feasible and additional data regarding neurotoxicity in this population may be warranted., (© 2023 British Society for Haematology and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)

- Abstract
Nodal peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL), the most common PTCLs, are generally treated with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP)-based curative-intent chemotherapy. Recent molecular data have assisted in prognosticating these PTCLs, but most reports lack detailed baseline clinical characteristics and treatment courses. We retrospectively evaluated cases of PTCL treated with CHOP-based chemotherapy that had tumors sequenced by the Memorial Sloan Kettering Integrated Mutational Profiling of Actionable Cancer Targets next-generation sequencing panel to identify variables correlating with inferior survival. We identified 132 patients who met these criteria. Clinical factors correlating with an increased risk of progression (by multivariate analysis) included advanced-stage disease and bone marrow involvement. The only somatic genetic aberrancies correlating with inferior progression-free survival (PFS) were TP53 mutations and TP53/17p deletions. PFS remained inferior when stratifying by TP53 mutation status, with a median PFS of 4.5 months for PTCL with a TP53 mutation (n = 21) vs 10.5 months for PTCL without a TP53 mutation (n = 111). No TP53 aberrancy correlated with inferior overall survival (OS). Although rare (n = 9), CDKN2A-deleted PTCL correlated with inferior OS, with a median of 17.6 months vs 56.7 months for patients without CDKN2A deletions. This retrospective study suggests that patients with PTCL with TP53 mutations experience inferior PFS when treated with curative-intent chemotherapy, warranting prospective confirmation., (© 2023 by The American Society of Hematology.

- Abstract
Nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL) is a rare non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma that has historically been difficult to define, though is now formally recognized by the World Health Organization Classification. To better characterize the clinical outcomes of patients with NMZL, we reviewed a sequential cohort of 187 patients with NMZL to describe baseline characteristics, survival outcomes, and time-to-event data. Initial management strategies were classified into five categories: observation, radiation, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy, chemoimmunotherapy, or other. Baseline Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index scores were calculated to evaluate prognosis. A total of 187 patients were analyzed. The five-year overall survival was 91% (95% confidence interval [CI], 87-95), with a median follow-up time of 71 months (range, 8-253) among survivors. A total of 139 patients received active treatment at any point, with a median follow-up time of 56 months (range, 13-253) among survivors who were never treated. The probability of remaining untreated at five years was 25% (95% CI, 19-33). For those initially observed, the median time to active treatment was 72 months (95% CI, 49-not reached). For those who received at least one active treatment, the cumulative incidence of receiving a second active treatment at 60 months was 37%. Transformation to large B-cell lymphoma was rare, with a cumulative incidence of 15% at 10 years. In summary, our series is a large cohort of uniformly diagnosed NMZL with detailed analyses of survival and time to event analyses. We showed that NMZL commonly presents as an indolent lymphoma for which initial observation is often a reasonable strategy., (© 2023 by The American Society of Hematology.

- Abstract
Despite substantial progress in the clinical management of Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia (WM) and the emergence of chemotherapy-free approaches such as BTK inhibitors, WM is still a disease in which current treatments fail to cure and are in part associated with significant toxicities, compromising treatment outcome and quality of life. Thus, the vision for future front-line therapy should be to develop regimens which combine improved efficacy and excellent applicability with a low toxicity profile. Conventional immunochemotherapy such as bendamustine-rituximab is highly active but limited by hematotoxicity and long-lasting immunosuppression. Thus, further intensification of this treatment concept will most likely not be successful. Chemotherapy-free approaches such as BTK inhibitors have already changed the treatment landscape in WM, but still have major limitations such as the need for non-fixed duration treatment. Most probably, the combination of non-chemotherapy based, targeted approaches with different modes of action will ensure that we at least come closer to our vision of achieving functional cure in WM in the near future., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
In preclinical models, anakinra, an IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), reduced immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) without compromising anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell efficacy. We initiated a phase 2 clinical trial of anakinra in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma treated with commercial anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. Here we report a non-prespecified interim analysis reporting the final results from cohort 1 in which patients received subcutaneous anakinra from day 2 until at least day 10 post-CAR T-cell infusion. The primary endpoint was the rate of severe (grade ≥3) ICANS. Key secondary endpoints included the rates of all-grade cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and ICANS and overall disease response. Among 31 treated patients, 74% received axicabtagene ciloleucel, 13% received brexucabtagene ciloleucel and 4% received tisagenlecleucel. All-grade ICANS occurred in 19%, and severe ICANS occurred in 9.7% of patients. There were no grade 4 or 5 ICANS events. All-grade CRS occurred in 74%, and severe CRS occurred in 6.4% of patients. The overall disease response rate was 77% with 65% complete response rate. These initial results show that prophylactic anakinra resulted in a low incidence of ICANS in patients with lymphoma receiving anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy and support further study of anakinra in immune-related neurotoxicity syndromes., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Aims: Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) harnesses a patient's immune system to target cancer. There are sparse existing data characterizing death outcomes after CAR-T-related cardiotoxicity. This study examines the association between CAR-T-related severe cardiovascular events (SCE) and mortality., Methods and Results: From a multi-centre registry of 202 patients receiving anti-CD19 CAR-T, covariates including standard baseline cardiovascular and cancer parameters and biomarkers were collected. Severe cardiovascular events were defined as a composite of heart failure, cardiogenic shock, or myocardial infarction. Thirty-three patients experienced SCE, and 108 patients died during a median follow-up of 297 (interquartile range 104-647) days. Those that did and did not die after CAR-T were similar in age, sex, and prior anthracycline use. Those who died had higher peak interleukin (IL)-6 and ferritin levels after CAR-T infusion, and those who experienced SCE had higher peak IL-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, and troponin levels. The day-100 and 1-year Kaplan-Meier overall mortality estimates were 18% and 43%, respectively, while the non-relapse mortality (NRM) cumulative incidence rates were 3.5% and 6.7%, respectively. In a Cox model, SCE occurrence following CAR-T was independently associated with increased overall mortality risk [hazard ratio (HR) 2.8, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.6-4.7] after adjusting for age, cancer type and burden, anthracycline use, cytokine release syndrome grade ≥ 2, pre-existing heart failure, hypertension, and African American ancestry; SCEs were independently associated with increased NRM (HR 3.5, 95% CI 1.4-8.8) after adjusting for cancer burden., Conclusion: Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy recipients who experience SCE have higher overall mortality and NRM and higher peak levels of IL-6, CRP, ferritin, and troponin., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest S.S.M. has received consulting fees from Nektar Therapeutics, Health & Wellness Partners, Medicure.

- Abstract
Greater tumor burden before CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy predicts lower complete response rate and shorter overall survival (OS) in patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Recent patterns of failure studies have identified lesion characteristics, including size, standard uptake value (SUV), and extranodal location, as associated with post-CAR-T therapy failure. Here we analyzed the effect of bridging radiation-containing treatment (BRT) on pre-CAR-T therapy lesion- and patient-level characteristics and post-CAR-T therapy outcomes, including patterns of failure. Consecutive NHL patients who received radiation therapy from 30 days before leukapheresis until CAR T cell infusion were reviewed. Metabolic tumor volume (MTV) was contoured with a threshold SUV of 4. The first post-CAR-T therapy failures were categorized as preexisting/new/mixed with respect to pre-CAR-T therapy disease and in-field/marginal/distant with respect to BRT. Forty-one patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL; n = 33), mantle cell lymphoma (n = 7), or Burkitt lymphoma (n = 1) were identified. BRT significantly improved established high-risk parameters of post-CAR-T therapy progression, including in-field median MTV (45.5 cc to .2 cc; P < .001), maximum SUV (18.1 to 4.4; P < .001), diameter (5.5 cm to 3.2 cm; P < .001), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; 312 to 232; P = .025). DLBCL patients with lower LDH levels post-BRT had improved progression-free survival (PFS; P = .001). In DLBCL, first failures were new in 7 of 19 patients, preexisting in 5 of 19, and mixed in 7 of 19; with respect to BRT, 4 of 19 were in-field and 4 of 19 were marginal. Post-CAR-T therapy survival was similar in patients with initially low MTV and those with newly low MTV post-BRT using a statistically determined threshold of 16 cc (PFS, 26 months versus 31 months; OS unreached for both). BRT produced significant cytoreductions in diameter, SUV, MTV, and LDH, all predictors of poor post-CAR-T therapy outcomes. Similar PFS and OS in patients with initially low MTV and those who achieved newly low MTV after BRT suggest that BRT may "convert" poor-risk patients to better risk. In the future, the response to BRT may allow for risk stratification and individualization of bridging strategies., (Copyright © 2022 The American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.

- Abstract
Recent prospective clinical trial data suggest that patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma who continue treatment with ABVD, despite failing to attain a complete metabolic response on interim PET (PET2+), may fare better than previously published. We describe the outcomes of PET2+ patients who continued ABVD and compare the performance of a quantitative measure based on the lesion-to-liver SUV ratio (LLS qPET2+) to that of the subjective Deauville criteria (dvPET2+). We analyzed all patients with newly diagnosed advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma treated with frontline ABVD at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center between 2008 and 2017. Eligibility was set to correspond with the RATHL inclusion criteria. Images were reviewed by two nuclear medicine physicians and discordant cases were resolved with a third expert in consensus. qPET2+ was defined as LLS ≥ 1.3. We identified 227 patients of whom 25% (57) were qPET2+, but only 14% (31) were dvPET2+. Forty-eight patients (84%) continued ABVD with a 3-year PFS of 70% for qPET2+ and 64% for dvPET2+. In conclusion, interim PET interpretation in clinical practice may be associated with a higher rate of scans deemed positive. Irrespective of the criteria for PET2 positivity, a subset of patients may continue ABVD without a dismal outcome.

- Abstract
The SCHOLAR-5 study examines treatment patterns and outcomes of real-world follicular lymphoma (FL) patients on 3rd line of treatment (LoT) or higher, for whom existing data are limited. SCHOLAR-5 is a retrospective cohort study using data from adults (≥ 18 years) with grade 1-3a FL, initiating ≥3rd LoT after June 2014 at major lymphoma centers in the US and Europe. Objective response rate (ORR), complete response (CR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed by LoT. Time-to-event outcomes were assessed using Kaplan-Meier methods. Of 128 patients, 87 initiated 3rd LoT, 63 initiated 4th LoT, and 47 initiated 5th LoT. At 1st eligible LoT, 31% progressed within 24-months of 1st LoT anti-CD20 combination therapy, 28% had prior autologous stem cell transplantation, and 31% were refractory to the previous LoT. The most common regimen in each LoT was chemoimmunotherapy; however, experimental drugs were increasingly used at later LoT. In the US, anti-CD20 monotherapy was more common at ≥3rd LoT compared to Europe, where stem cell transplants were more common. ORR at 3rd LoT was 68% (CR 44%), but decreased after each LoT to 37% (CR 22%) in ≥5 LoT. Median OS and PFS at 3rd LoT were 68 and 11 months, respectively, and reduced to 43 and 4 months at ≥5 LoT. Treatments were heterogenous at each LoT in both the US and Europe. Few FL patients achieved CR in later LoT, and duration of response and survival diminished with each subsequent line.

- Abstract
Background: In the ZUMA-5 trial (Clinical trials identification: NCT03105336), axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel; a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy) demonstrated high rates of durable response in relapsed/refractory (r/r) follicular lymphoma (FL) patients and clear superiority relative to the SCHOLAR-5 external control cohort. We update this comparison using the ZUMA-5 24-month data., Research Design and Methods: The SCHOLAR-5 cohort is comprised of r/r FL patients who initiated ≥3
rd line of therapy after July 2014 and meeting ZUMA-5 eligibility criteria. Groups were balanced for patient characteristics through propensity scoring on prespecified prognostic factors using standardized mortality ratio (SMR) weighting. The overall response rate was compared using a weighted logistic regression. Time-to-event outcomes were evaluated using a Cox regression., Results: For SCHOLAR-5, the sum of weights for the 143 patients was 85 after SMR weighting, versus 86 patients in ZUMA-5. The median follow-up was 29.4 months and 25.4 months for ZUMA-5 and SCHOLAR-5, respectively. The hazard ratios for overall survival and progression-free survival were 0.52 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.28-0.95) and 0.28 (95% CI: 0.17-0.45), favoring axi-cel., Conclusion: This updated analysis, using a longer minimum follow-up than a previously published analysis, shows that the improved efficacy of axi-cel, relative to available therapies, in r/r FL is durable. .- Published

- Abstract
CD19 is nearly ubiquitously expressed on B-lymphocytes and in B-cell malignancies. Although CD19-directed CAR T cells have greatly improved outcomes in B-cell malignancies, there are significant limitations with this therapy. CD19 can also be effectively targeted by other drug classes, such as monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and bispecific T cell engagers or antibodies. However, the optimal patient selection and sequencing of these novel therapies has not yet been established. In this review, we discuss the utilization of CD19 as a target for the treatment of DLBCL, focusing on tafasitamab, loncastuximab tesirine, and blinatumomab. We provide a comprehensive review of the pivotal clinical trials, discussing the strength and limitations of the data for each agent. We explore the emerging evidence that CD19 expression is retained following exposure to these agents and that patients can be successfully re-challenged with anti-CD19 therapies of a different drug class upon disease relapse post-CAR T cells. Finally, we discuss how these drugs potentially fit into the most current treatment paradigm for DLBCL., (Copyright © 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Persistence or recurrence of large B-cell lymphoma after CD19-CAR-T is common, yet data guiding management are limited. We describe outcomes and features following CAR-T treatment failure. Of 305 adults who received CD19-CAR-T, 182 experienced disease recurrence or progression (1-year cumulative incidence 63% [95%CI: 57-69]). Of 52 post-CAR-T biopsies evaluated by flow cytometry, 49 (94%) expressed CD19. Subsequent anti-cancer treatment was administered in 135/182 (74%) patients with CAR-T treatment failure. Median OS from the first post-CAR-T treatment was 8 months (95%CI 5.6-11.0). Polatuzumab-, standard chemotherapy-, and lenalidomide-based treatments were the most common approaches after CAR-T. No complete responses (CRs) were observed with conventional chemotherapy, while CR rates exceeding 30% were seen following polatuzumab- or lenalidomide-based therapies. Factors associated with poor OS among patients treated post-CAR-T were pre-CAR-T bulky disease (HR 2.27 [1.10-4.72]), lack of response to CAR-T (2.33 [1.02-5.29]), age >65 years (HR 2.65 [1.49-4.73]) and elevated LDH at post-CAR-T treatment (HR 2.95 [1.61-5.38]). The presence of ≥2 of these factors was associated with inferior OS compared to ≤1 (56% vs. 19%). In this largest analysis to date of patients who progressed or relapsed after CD19-CAR-T, survival is poor, though novel agents such as polatuzumab and lenalidomide may have hold promise., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Vitamin D insufficiency is a potentially modifiable risk factor for poor outcomes in newly diagnosed large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). However, the role of circulating vitamin D concentrations in relapsed/refractory LBCL treated with CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) is currently unknown. This was a single-center, observational study that evaluated the association of pre-CAR-T 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) status with 100-day complete response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and CAR-T-related toxicity in 111 adult relapsed/refractory LBCL patients. Vitamin D insufficiency was defined as ≤30 ng/mL in accordance with the Endocrine Society guidelines. The median pre-CAR-T 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration was 24 ng/mL (interquarile range = 18-34). Vitamin D-insufficient patients (≤30 ng/mL; n = 73 [66%]) were significantly younger than their vitamin D-replete (>30 ng/mL; n = 38 [34%]) counterparts (P= .039). The vitamin D-insufficient cohort was enriched for de novo LBCL as the histological subtype (P= .026) and had a higher proportion of tisagenlecleucel as the CAR-T product (P= .049). There were no other significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the two groups. In vitamin D-insufficient compared to -replete patients, 100-day complete response was 55% versus 76% (P= .029), and 2-year overall survival was 41% versus 71% (P= .061), respectively. In multivariate analysis, vitamin D insufficiency remained significantly associated with 100-day complete response (odds ratio 2.58 [1.05-6.83]; P= .045) and overall survival (hazard ratio 2.24 [1.08-4.66], P= .030). In recipients of tisagenlecleucel, vitamin D insufficiency was associated with significantly lower cell viability of the infused CAR-T product (P= .015). Finally, pretreatment vitamin D insufficiency did not predict for subsequent CAR-T-related toxicity. This is the first report to demonstrate that vitamin D insufficiency is associated with inferior clinical outcomes in CAR-T recipients. Further study into the mechanistic insights of this finding, and the potential role of vitamin D supplementation to optimize CAR-T are warranted., (Copyright © 2022 The American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy.

- Abstract
Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has already been reported. The RELEVANCE trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01650701) showed that lenalidomide plus rituximab (R
2 ) provided similar efficacy to rituximab plus chemotherapy (R-chemo) in patients with advanced-stage, previously untreated follicular lymphoma (FL). We report the second interim analysis of the RELEVANCE trial after 6 years of follow-up. Patients with previously untreated grade 1-3a FL were assigned 1:1 to R2 or R-chemo, followed by rituximab maintenance. Coprimary end points were complete response (confirmed/unconfirmed) at week 120 and progression-free survival (PFS). At median follow-up of 72 months, 6-year PFS was 60% and 59% for R2 and R-chemo, respectively (hazard ratio = 1.03 [95% CI, 0.84 to 1.27]). Six-year overall survival was estimated to be 89% in both groups. Median PFS and overall survival were not reached in either group. Overall response after progression was 61% and 59%, and 5-year estimated survival rate after progression was 69% and 74% in the R2 and R-chemo groups, respectively. The transformation rate per year in the R2 and R-chemo groups was 0.68% and 0.45%, and secondary primary malignancies occurred in 11% and 13% ( P = .34), respectively. No new safety signals were observed. R2 continues to demonstrate comparable, durable efficacy and safety versus R-chemo in previously untreated patients with FL and provides an acceptable chemo-free alternative.- Published

- Abstract
In the pivotal ZUMA-5 trial, axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel; an autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy) demonstrated high rates of durable response in relapsed/refractory (r/r) follicular lymphoma (FL) patients. Here, outcomes from ZUMA-5 are compared with the international SCHOLAR-5 cohort, which applied key ZUMA-5 trial eligibility criteria simulating randomized controlled trial conditions. SCHOLAR-5 data were extracted from institutions in 5 countries, and from 1 historical clinical trial, for r/r FL patients who initiated a third or higher line of therapy after July 2014. Patient characteristics were balanced through propensity scoring on prespecified prognostic factors using standardized mortality ratio (SMR) weighting. Time-to-event outcomes were evaluated using weighted Kaplan-Meier analysis. Overall response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) rate were compared using weighted odds ratios. The 143 ScHOLAR-5 patients reduced to an effective sample of 85 patients after SMR weighting vs 86 patients in ZUMA-5. Median follow-up time was 25.4 and 23.3 months for SCHOLAR-5 and ZUMA-5. Median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in SCHOLAR-5 were 59.8 months and 12.7 months and not reached in ZUMA-5. Hazard ratios for OS and PFS were 0.42 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.21-0.83) and 0.30 (95% CI, 0.18-0.49). The ORR and CR rate were 49.9% and 29.9% in SCHOLAR-5 and 94.2% and 79.1% in ZUMA-5, for odds ratios of 16.2 (95% CI, 5.6-46.9) and 8.9 (95% CI, 4.3-18.3). Compared with available therapies, axi-cel demonstrated an improvement in meaningful clinical endpoints, suggesting axi-cel addresses an important unmet need for r/r FL patients. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03105336., (© 2022 by The American Society of Hematology.)

- Abstract
Background: This was an open-label, phase 1b study assessing the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy and pharmacokinetics of the combination of atezolizumab and obinutuzumab in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). There is a mechanistic rationale suggesting that this combination may enhance recruitment of both innate and adaptive immunity and be effective against CD20+ B-cell malignancies., Materials and Methods: The study consisted of a safety evaluation stage and an expansion stage. Patients received obinutuzumab 1000 mg intravenously (IV) in cycle (C) 1, obinutuzumab plus atezolizumab 1200 mg IV for C2-8, and atezolizumab only from C9. Primary endpoints were to identify a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for atezolizumab, and safety and tolerability in the safety and expansion stages., Results: A total of 49 patients were enrolled (FL, n = 26; DLBCL, n = 23), with a median of 2 prior lines of treatment. The RP2D for atezolizumab was 1200 mg IV every 3 weeks. Adverse events reported in ≥ 20% of patients were fatigue (15 patients [31%]), nausea (13 patients [27%]), cough, and diarrhea (10 patients [20%] each). Objective response rate was 54% in the FL cohort (complete response [CR] rate: 23%) and 17% in the DLBCL cohort (CR: 4%). Median progression-free survival was 9 months for FL and 3 months for DLBCL. Median overall survival was not estimable for FL and 9 months for DLBCL., Conclusion: The combination of obinutuzumab and atezolizumab was determined to be safe and tolerable, with no new toxicities observed., (Copyright © 2021.

- Abstract
Background: The combination of atezolizumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and inhibits the interaction between PD-L1 and its receptors, and tazemetostat, an EZH2 inhibitor, may lead to selective epigenetic reprogramming, alter the tumor microenvironment, and provide additive or synergistic response to patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)., Materials and Methods: This was an open-label, phase Ib study assessing the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of atezolizumab plustazemetostat in patients with R/R DLBCL. Atezolizumab (1200 mg) was administered via intravenous (IV) infusion on day 1 of each cycle and tazemetostat (800 mg) was given orally twice daily (BID) on days 1 to 21. Primary endpoints were safety and tolerability, and to identify a recommended phase II dose (RP2D) for atezolizumab. Secondary efficacy endpoints included response rate and duration of response., Results: A total of 43 patients were enrolled, receiving a median of 3 prior lines of treatment (range: 1-9). The RP2D for atezolizumab was 1200 mg IV infusion every 3 weeks in combination with tazemetostat 800 mg BID. At the RP2D, adverse events reported in ≥20% patients were anemia(11 patients [26%]), fatigue (10 patients [23%]), and nausea (10 patients [23%]). Overall response rate was 16% (complete response rate: 7%). Median progression-free survival was 2 months (range: 0-24) and median overall survival was 13 months (range: 1-29)., Conclusions: The combination of atezolizumab and tazemetostat was determined to be safe and tolerable. However, anti-tumor activity of the combination was modest., (Copyright © 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
The SRC family kinase (SFK) HCK is transcriptionally upregulated and activated by mutated MYD88 (MYD88Mut), a key adaptor for Toll-receptor signaling. HCK activates BTK, AKT, and ERK in MYD88Mut lymphomas. SYK, a B-cell receptor (BCR) component, is activated in MYD88Mut lymphoma cells. Although the SFK LYN serves as a trigger for SYK activation in MYD88Mut ABC DLBCL cells, LYN activity is muted in MYD88Mut Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) cells. We therefore investigated a role for HCK in mediating SYK activation. Overexpression of wild-type (WT) (HCKWT) or gatekeeper mutated (HCKThr333Met) HCK in MYD88Mut lymphoma cells triggered SYK activation. Conversely, HCK knockdown reduced p-SYK in MYD88Mut lymphoma cells. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments showed that HCK was complexed with p-SYK in MYD88Mut BCWM.1 and TMD8 cells, but not in MYD88 WT Ramos cells. Rescue experiments in MYD88Mut lymphoma cells expressing HCKThr333Met led to persistent HCK and SYK activation and resistance to the HCK inhibitor A419259. Treatment of primary MYD88Mut WM cells with A419259 reduced p-HCK and p-SYK expression. Taken together, our findings show that SYK is activated by HCK in MYD88Mut B-cell lymphomas cells, broaden the prosurvival signaling generated by aberrant HCK expression in response to MYD88Mut, and help define HCK as an important therapeutic target in MYD88Mut B-cell lymphomas., (© 2022 by The American Society of Hematology.

- Abstract
Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has led to unprecedented responses in patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. However, up to 60% of patients still experience disease relapse and up to 80% of patients experience CAR-mediated toxicities, such as cytokine release syndrome or immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome. We investigated the role of the intestinal microbiome on these outcomes in a multicenter study of patients with B cell lymphoma and leukemia. We found in a retrospective cohort (n = 228) that exposure to antibiotics, in particular piperacillin/tazobactam, meropenem and imipenem/cilastatin (P-I-M), in the 4 weeks before therapy was associated with worse survival and increased neurotoxicity. In stool samples from a prospective cohort of CAR T cell recipients (n = 48), the fecal microbiome was altered at baseline compared to healthy controls. Stool sample profiling by 16S ribosomal RNA and metagenomic shotgun sequencing revealed that clinical outcomes were associated with differences in specific bacterial taxa and metabolic pathways. Through both untargeted and hypothesis-driven analysis of 16S sequencing data, we identified species within the class Clostridia that were associated with day 100 complete response. We concluded that changes in the intestinal microbiome are associated with clinical outcomes after anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy in patients with B cell malignancies., (© 2022.
