Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is clinically characterized by its heterogenous behavior with courses ranging from indolent cases that do not require therapy for years to highly aggressive MCL with very limited prognosis. A better understanding of the complex biology of MCL has already led to the approval of several innovative agents, expanding the landscape of MCL therapies and improving therapeutic options especially for refractory or relapsed disease. Nevertheless, to further optimize MCL treatment, early identification of individual risk profile and risk-adapted, patient-tailored choice of therapeutic strategy needs to be prospectively incorporated in clinical patient management. This review highlights recent advances in deciphering the molecular background of MCL, the definition of prognostically relevant factors and the identification of potential druggable targets and summarizes current treatment recommendations for primary and relapsed/refractory MCL including novel targeted therapies.

R-MACLO-IVAM regimen followed by maintenance therapy induces durable remissions in untreated mantle cell lymphoma - Long term follow up results. Am J Hematol 2021; 96:680-689. [PMID: 33735476 DOI: 10.1002/ajh.26163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2020] [Revised: 02/27/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
We present long-term combined results of two clinical trials implementing R-MACLO-IVAM induction followed by thalidomide or rituximab maintenance in 44 patients with untreated mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The first 22 patients (UM-MCL1 ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00450801) received maintenance with thalidomide (200 mg daily until relapse/intolerable toxicity) and a subsequent cohort of 22 patients (UM-MCL2 ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00878254) received rituximab (375 mg/m2 IV weekly × 4, repeated every 6 months for 3 years). Considering all 44 patients, 41 (93.2%) achieved complete response (CR), two (4.5%) partial response (PR), and one (2.3%) was not evaluated for response. With a median follow up of 7.2 years (range < 1 month to 16 years), the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 55.6% (95% CI: 38.9%-69.4%) and median PFS 7.9 years (95% CI: 3.7-11 years). The 5-year OS was 83.3% (95% CI: 68.1%-91.7%) and median OS was not reached. Patients with blastic variant (n = 6) had a 5-year PFS and OS of 20.8% and 60%, respectively. Myelosuppression was the most common adverse event during immunochemotherapy. Long-term treatment-related mortality was 6.8%. Note, R-MACLO-IVAM followed by maintenance therapy is an effective regimen to induce long-term remission in MCL without need for consolidation with ASCT.

Ther Adv Hematol 2021; 12:20406207211018894. [PMID: 34104373 PMCID: PMC8165531 DOI: 10.1177/20406207211018894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Several clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate the role of maintenance therapy in untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients with complete response or partial response following standard immunochemotherapy; however, the effect of maintenance therapy remains uncertain, and a suitable maintenance strategy has not been determined because of the lack of direct/indirect comparisons. Methods: We performed a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA) to analyze and compare the effectiveness of different maintenance regimens in newly diagnosed DLBCL patients. We searched the PubMed Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for relevant papers from inception to 18 March 2021. Our study was prospectively registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42020168864). Data on overall survival (OS) were extracted and the treatments were ranked using the surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) curve. Results: Eight trials and seven treatments involving 3525 patients were analyzed. OS analysis indicated that none of the drugs showed any benefit compared with non-maintenance therapy. Maintenance therapy with lenalidomide (SUCRA 69.3%) was ranked first in terms of OS. Conclusion: Based on the OS results observed in this NMA, we do not recommend maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed DLBLC after first-line therapy.

Abstract
Blastoid and pleomorphic mantle cell lymphomas (MCLs) are variants of aggressive histology MCL (AH-MCL). AH-MCL can arise de novo (AH-DN) or transform from prior classic variant MCL (AH-t). This study is the first integrated analysis of clinical and genomic characteristics of AH-MCL. Patient characteristics were collected from diagnosis (AH-DN) and at transformation (AH-t). Survival after initial diagnosis (AH-DN) and after transformation (AH-t) was calculated. Regression tree analysis was performed to evaluate prognostic variables and in univariate and multivariate analyses for survival. Whole-exome sequencing was performed in evaluable biopsy specimens. We identified 183 patients with AH-MCL (108 were AH-DN, and 75 were AH-t; 152 were blastoid, and 31 were pleomorphic). Median survival was 33 months (48 and 14 months for AH-DN and AH-t, respectively; P = .001). Factors associated with inferior survival were age (≥72 years), AH-t category, Ki-67 ≥50% and poor performance status. AH-t had a significantly higher degree of aneuploidy compared with AH-DN. Transformed MCL patients exhibited KMT2B mutations. AH-MCL patients with Ki-67 ≥50% had exclusive mutations in CCND1, NOTCH1, TP53, SPEN, SMARCA4, RANBP2, KMT2C, NOTCH2, NOTCH3, and NSD2 compared with low Ki-67 (<50%). AH-t patients have poor outcomes and distinct genomic profile. This is the first study to report that AH-MCL patients with high Ki-67 (≥50%) exhibit a distinct mutation profile and very poor survival.

Immune recovery in patients with mantle cell lymphoma receiving long-term ibrutinib and venetoclax combination therapy. Blood Adv 2021; 4:4849-4859.

Abstract
Combination venetoclax plus ibrutinib for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has demonstrated efficacy in the relapsed or refractory setting; however, the long-term impact on patient immunology is unknown. In this study, changes in immune subsets of MCL patients treated with combination venetoclax and ibrutinib were assessed over a 4-year period. Multiparameter flow cytometry of peripheral blood mononuclear cells showed that ≥12 months of treatment resulted in alterations in the proportions of multiple immune subsets, most notably CD4+ and CD8+ effector and central memory T cells and natural killer cells, and normalization of T-cell cytokine production in response to T-cell receptor stimulation. Gene expression analysis identified upregulation of multiple myeloid genes (including S100 and cathepsin family members) and inflammatory pathways over 12 months. Four patients with deep responses stopped study drugs, resulting in restoration of normal immune subsets for all study parameters except myeloid gene/pathway expression, suggesting long-term combination venetoclax and ibrutinib irreversibly affects this population. Our findings demonstrate that long-term combination therapy is associated with immune recovery in MCL, which may allow responses to subsequent immunotherapies and suggests that this targeted therapy results in beneficial impacts on immunological recovery. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02471391.

Treatment patterns and outcomes of unfit and elderly patients with Mantle cell lymphoma unfit for standard immunochemotherapy: A UK and Ireland analysis. Br J Haematol 2021; 194:365-377.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) presenting in elderly, unfit patients represents a clinical challenge. Front-line 'attenuated' or low-intensity immunochemotherapy is often employed, although outcomes are relatively unexplored. We report outcomes of attenuated immunochemotherapy in 95 patients with MCL across 19 centres in the UK and Ireland considered unfit for full-dose rituximab-bendamustine or rituximab-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone (R-CHOP). Regimens examined were rituximab-cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisolone (R-CVP) (n = 19), dose-attenuated R-CHOP (n = 22), dose attenuated rituximab-bendamustine (n = 24) and rituximab-chlorambucil (n = 30). The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary outcomes included overall response, overall survival (OS) and toxicity. The median (range) age was 79 (58-89) years and 50% were aged ≥80 years. The median (range) Cumulative Illness Rating Scale-Geriatric score was 6 (0-24). The median PFS for all patients was 15 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 8·7-21·2) and median OS was 31·4 months (95% CI 19·7-43·2). By multivariable analysis (MVA), the only clinical factor associated with an inferior PFS was blastoid morphology [hazard ratio (HR) 2·90, P = 0·01). Notably, higher treatment intensity (R-CHOP/R-bendamustine composite) provided an independently superior PFS compared with R-CVP/R-chlorambucil (MVA HR 0·49, P = 0·02). Factors associated with inferior OS by MVA were Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (HR 2·14, P = 0·04), blastoid morphology (HR 4·08, P = 0·001) and progression of disease at <24 months status (HR 5·68, P < 0·001). Overall, survival after front-line dose-attenuated immunochemotherapy is unsatisfactory. Clinical trials investigating novel agents such as Bruton tyrosine kinase and B-cell lymphoma 2 inhibitors in this specific clinical setting are warranted.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that retains a sobering prognosis despite an extensive research effort. Mantle cell lymphoma remains incurable even with aggressive, and at times toxic, chemoimmunotherapy with early incorporation of autologous stem cell transplantation. Given this, attention has turned to the use of targeted therapies addressing dysregulation of B-cell signaling pathways. Drugs such as immunomodulatory agents, proteasome inhibitors, and Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors have shown success in the relapsed/refractory population, and there is ongoing investigation into the utilization of novel Bruton's tyrosine kinase, B-cell leukemia/lymphoma-2, and spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitors alone or in combination in both the front-line and relapsed settings. Other areas of research in novel immunotherapies include investigations of bispecific T-cell engagers and antibody-drug conjugates. Most recently, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy has been granted US Food and Drug Administration approval as a result of durable remissions even in high-risk patients who have classically done poorly with traditional chemoimmunotherapy. The intent of this article is to review the literature describing these selective therapies and discuss their current and future roles in the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma.

Abstract
The increasing number of approved therapies for relapsed mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) provides patients effective treatment options, with increasing complexity in prioritization and sequencing of these therapies. Chemo-immunotherapy remains widely used as frontline MCL treatment with multiple targeted therapies available for relapsed disease. The Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, and zanubrutinib achieve objective responses in the majority of patients as single agent therapy for relapsed MCL, but differ with regard to toxicity profile and dosing schedule. Lenalidomide and bortezomib are likewise approved for relapsed MCL and are active as monotherapy or in combination with other agents. Venetoclax has been used off-label for the treatment of relapsed and refractory MCL, however data are lacking regarding the efficacy of this approach particularly following BTKi treatment. Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies have emerged as highly effective therapy for relapsed MCL, with the CAR-T treatment brexucabtagene autoleucel now approved for relapsed MCL. In this review the authors summarize evidence to date for currently approved MCL treatments for relapsed disease including sequencing of therapies, and discuss future directions including combination treatment strategies and new therapies under investigation.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein-associated protein 1 (LRPAP1) had been identified by B-cell receptor (BCR) expression cloning and subsequent protein array screening as a frequent and proliferation-inducing autoantigen of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Of interest, high-titered and light chain-restricted LRPAP1 autoantibodies were detected in 8 of 28 patients with MCL. In the present study, LRPAP1 autoantibodies in sera of patients treated within the Younger and Elderly trials of the European MCL Network were analyzed regarding frequency, association with disease characteristics, and prognostic impact. LRPAP1 autoantibodies were detected in 41 (13%) of 312 evaluable patients with MCL. These LRPAP1 autoantibodies belonged predominantly to the immunoglobulin G (IgG) class and were clonally light chain restricted (27 with κ light chains, 14 patients with λ light chains). Titers ranged between 1:400 and 1:3200. The presence of LRPAP1 autoantibodies was not significantly associated with any baseline clinical characteristic, however, it was associated with a superior 5-year probability for failure-free survival (FFS) of 70% (95% confidence interval [CI], 57% to 87%) vs 51% (95% CI, 44% to 58%), P = .0052; and for overall survival (OS) of 93% (95% CI, 85% to 100%) vs 68% (95% CI, 62% to 74%), P = .0142. LRPAP1-seropositive patients had a Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index-adjusted hazard ratio for FFS of 0.48 (95% CI 0.27-0.83, P = .0083) and for OS of 0.47 (95% CI 0.24-0.94, P = .032). LRPAP1 autoantibodies were frequently detected in a large cohort of MCL patients treated within prospective multicenter clinical trials. Our results suggest better outcomes for LRPAP1-autoantibody seropositive patients.

Abstract
MCL is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder that has been regarded as incurable since its identification as a distinct entity. Allogeneic transplantation for two decades has represented the only option capable of ensuring prolonged remissions and possibly cure. Despite its efficacy, its application has been limited by feasibility limitations and substantial toxicity, particularly in elderly patients. Nevertheless, the experience accumulated over time has been wide though often scattered among retrospective and small prospective studies. In this review, we aimed at critically revise and discuss available evidence on allogeneic transplantation in MCL, trying to put available evidence into the 2020 perspective, characterized by unprecedented development of novel promising therapeutic agents and regimens.

Orally effective FDA-approved protein kinase targeted covalent inhibitors (TCIs). Pharmacol Res 2021; 165:105422. [PMID: 33434619 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2021.105422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2020] [Accepted: 12/31/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Because dysregulation of protein kinases owing to mutations or overexpression plays causal roles in human diseases, this family of enzymes has become one of the most important drug targets of the 21st century. Of the 62 protein kinases inhibitors that are approved by the FDA, seven of them form irreversible covalent adducts with their target enzymes. The clinical success of ibrutinib, an inhibitor of Bruton tyrosine kinase, in the treatment of mantle cell lymphomas following its approval in 2013 helped to overcome a general bias against the development of irreversible drug inhibitors. The other approved covalent drugs include acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib, which also inhibit Bruton tyrosine kinase. Furthermore afatinib, dacomitinib, and osimertinib, inhibitors of members of the epidermal growth factor receptor family (ErbB1/2/3/4), are used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancers. Neratinib is an inhibitor of ErbB2 and is used in the treatment of ErbB2/HER2-positive breast cancer. The seven drugs considered in this review have a common mechanism of action; this process involves the addition of a protein cysteine thiolate anion (protein‒S:-) to an acrylamide derivative (CH2=CHC(=O)N(H)R) where R represents the pharmacophore. Such reactions are commonly referred to as Michael additions and each reaction results in the formation of a covalent bond between carbon and sulfur; the final product is a thioether. This process consists of two discrete steps; the first step involves the reversible association of the drug with its target enzyme so that a weakly electrophilic functionality, a warhead, is bound near an appropriately positioned nucleophilic cysteine. In the second step, a reaction occurs between the warhead and the target enzyme cysteine to form a covalently modified and inactive protein. For this process to work, the warhead must be appropriately juxtaposed in relationship to the cysteinyl thiolate so that the covalent addition can occur. Covalent inhibitors have emerged from the ranks of drugs to be avoided to become an emerging paradigm. Much of this recent success can be attributed to the clinical efficacy of ibrutinib as well as the other antagonists covered in this review. Moreover, the covalent inhibitor methodology is swiftly gaining acceptance as a valuable component of the medicinal chemist's toolbox and is primed to make a significant impact on the development of enzyme antagonists and receptor modulators.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although treatment approaches to younger fit patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are well-described, the optimal treatment of older or less fit patients with varying comorbidities is less clear. The objectives of this study were to examine first-line treatment patterns, and the impact of comorbidities and age on treatment choices and overall survival (OS) in a large, predominantly older, Medicare population. PATIENTS AND METHODS In Medicare data from 1/1/2007-8/31/2015, 3,008 patients with MCL were identified. Data on age, gender, race, Charlson comorbidities, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), timing of injectable MCL therapies, and OS were collected and analyzed. RESULTS Median age of the study population was 75.5 (range, 33-107; 25th, 75th: 69.9, 81.5) years. Over half of the individuals had ≥two comorbidities. The CCI was 1-2 in 45%, and 3-4 in 26.6% of patients. Rituximab was the most commonly used agent, regardless of age or comorbidity, in the first 60 days following diagnosis, being administered to 40.2% of patients. In contrast, administration of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, or bendamustine in the first 60 days after diagnosis was less common (17.9%, 13.1%, 17.2%, and 12%, respectively). Overall survival was 3.23 (range, 0.003-7.668) years, and decreased with increasing number of comorbidities. DISCUSSION Our analysis of a real-world patient population with MCL found that older patients have a high rate of comorbidities which impact administered treatment and subsequent OS. Our findings can be used to prospectively guide treatment decisions in these older, frailer, non-transplant-eligible patients, considering the impact of age and comorbidities on such choices.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) with chronically relapsing clinical course. Implementation of cytarabine (araC) into induction and salvage regimen became standard of care for majority of MCL patients. In this study, tailored N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA)-based polymer nanotherapeutics containing covalently bound araC (araC co-polymers) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anti-lymphoma efficacy in vivo using a panel of six patient-derived lymphoma xenografts (PDX) derived from newly diagnosed and relapsed / refractory (R/R) MCL. While free araC led to temporary inhibition of growth of MCL tumors, araC co-polymers induced long-term disappearance of the engrafted lymphomas with no observed toxicity even in the case of PDX models derived from patients, who relapsed after high-dose araC-based treatments. The results provide sound preclinical rationale for the use of HPMA-based araC co-polymers in induction, salvage or palliative therapy of MCL patients.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) with a median overall survival (OS) of approximately 3-5 years. Systematic literature reviews (SLRs) identified efficacy and safety data for first-line therapies, reported in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomised interventional studies (NRISs). Nine and 20 independent studies were included in the RCT and NRISs SLRs, respectively. Differences in the regimens and patient outcomes varied according to patient age and suitability for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). In elderly patients ineligible for transplant, OS ranged from 40 months to 69.6 months. In young transplant-eligible patients, OS ranged from 53 months to 152.4 months. Despite the paucity of directly comparable evidence on the efficacy and safety of MCL therapies, these SLRs highlight that MCL remains a difficult NHL subtype to treat, with short survival highlighting the unmet need for newer treatments that improve patient outcomes.

Lenalidomide maintenance after autologous haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation in mantle cell lymphoma: results of a Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) multicentre, randomised, phase 3 trial. LANCET HAEMATOLOGY 2020; 8:e34-e44. [PMID: 33357480 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-3026(20)30358-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2020] [Revised: 10/02/2020] [Accepted: 10/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fit patients with mantle cell lymphoma aged 18-65 years are usually given cytarabine and rituximab-based induction regimens followed by autologous haematopoetic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). We investigated whether post-autologous HSCT maintenance with lenalidomide improves progression-free survival in this population. METHODS This open-label, randomised, multicentre, phase 3 trial was done at 49 haematology and oncology units in Italy and Portugal. Eligible patients had Ann Arbor stage III or IV treatment-naive mantle cell lymphoma (or stage II plus bulky disease [≥5 cm] or B symptoms), and had evidence of cyclin D1 overexpression or the translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32). Patients were aged 18-59 years with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-3, or aged 60-65 years with ECOG 0-2. After an optional prephase with vincristine and steroids (intravenous vincristine 1·4 mg/m2 on day 1, oral prednisone 100 mg [total dose] on days 1-5), patients were given three courses of R-CHOP (21-day cycle, intravenous rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day 1; intravenous doxorubicin 50 mg/m2, vincristine 1·4 mg/m2, and cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2 on day 2; oral prednisone 100 mg/m2 on day 2-6). Patients then received one cycle of high-dose CTX (intravenous cyclophosphamide 4 g/m2 on day 1, intravenous rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day 4). After restaging, patients received two cycles of R-HD-cytarabine (high-dose intravenous cytarabine 2 g/m2 every 12 h on days 1-3, intravenous rituximab 375 mg/m2 on days 4 and 10). Patients with complete remission or partial remission proceeded to autologous HSCT and responding patients (complete remission or partial remission) with haematological recovery were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive 24 courses of oral lenalidomide maintenance (15 mg per day for patients with platelets >100 × 109 cells per L or 10 mg per day for platelets 60-100 × 109 cells per L, days 1-21 every 28 days) for 24 months, or observation. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival, measured in the randomised population. This study is registered with EudraCT (2009-012807-25) and ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02354313). FINDINGS Between May 4, 2010, and Aug 24, 2015, 303 patients were screened for inclusion and 300 patients were enrolled (median age 57 years, IQR 51-62; 235 [78%] male). 95 patients were excluded before randomisation, mostly due to disease progression, adverse events, and inadequate recovery. 104 patients were randomly assigned to the lenalidomide maintenance group and 101 patients to the observation group. 11 (11%) of 104 patients assigned to lenalidomide did not start treatment (3 withdrew, 6 adverse events or protocol breach, 2 lost to follow-up). At a median follow-up of 38 months after randomisation (IQR 24-50), 3-year progression-free survival was 80% (95% CI 70-87) in the lenalidomide group versus 64% (53-73) in the observation group (log-rank test p=0·012; hazard ratio 0·51, 95% CI 0·30-0·87). 41 (39%) of 104 patients discontinued lenalidomide for reasons including death or progression. Treatment-related deaths were recorded in two (2%) of 93 patients in the lenalidomide group (1 pneumonia, 1 thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura), and one (1%) of 101 in the observation group (pneumonia). 59 (63%) of 93 patients in the lenalidomide group had grade 3-4 haematological adverse events versus 12 (12%) of 101 patients in the observation group (p<0·0001). 29 (31%) of 93 patients in the lenalidomide group and eight (8%) of 101 patients in the observation group had grade 3-4 non-haematological adverse events (p<0·0001), of which infections were the most common.Serious adverse events were reported in 22 (24%) of 93 patients in the lenalidomide group and five (5%) of 101 patients in the observation group. Pneumonia and other infections were the most common serious adverse events. INTERPRETATION Despite non-negligibile toxicity, lenalidomide after autologous HSCT improved progression-free survival in patients with mantle cell lymphoma, highlighting the role of maintenance in mantle cell lymphoma.

Abstract
Background: Lymphoma of the sublingual gland is rare, representing 1% of all salivary gland lymphomas. In this case report, we present three new cases and compare them to previously published cases, with the aim of characterizing the clinical, morphological, histopathological, and genetic features of this type of malignancy. Materials and Methods: We provide a clinical description of three cases along with a characterization of the microscopic features, including morphology, and immunohistochemistry. In addition, we analysed possible cytogenetic rearrangements with the use of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Results: Case 1: A 61-year-old male presenting with a painless swelling of the floor of the mouth diagnosed as extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) of the left sublingual gland. The patient is alive with no evidence of disease after his fourth treatment regimen following several relapses. Case 2: A 68-year-old female with a prior history of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) presenting with a tender swelling of the left sublingual gland as well as the right submandibular gland. The lesions were diagnosed as relapsing MCL. The patient died of unrelated causes after 18 months of treatment. Case 3: A 75-year-old female presenting with a swelling of the floor of the mouth diagnosed as follicular lymphoma (FL) of the left sublingual gland. The patient received chemotherapy along with radiotherapy and was still alive 10 years after the diagnosis. Conclusion: The three cases of sublingual gland lymphomas presented in this case report resemble lymphomas of other major salivary glands. The clinician should be aware of this type of malignancy and that the clinical presentation may not differ from benign lesions or other more common malignancies in this location.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma is an aggressive B-cell malignancy. Current frontline chemoimmunotherapies produce high response rates but relapse is inevitable. Furthermore, the elderly and those with comorbidities are precluded from standard regimens and stem cell transplant, leaving them with limited options. Targeted therapies, including Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, are an effective treatment strategy in mantle cell lymphoma. Zanubrutinib is a potent next-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has demonstrated complete and sustained Bruton tyrosine kinase occupancy, minimal off-target effects and favorable pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties. Described herein is an ongoing Phase III study comparing the efficacy and safety of zanubrutinib plus rituximab followed by zanubrutinib monotherapy versus bendamustine plus rituximab followed by observation in transplant-ineligible patients with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT04002297 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obinutuzumab monotherapy has shown promising efficacy in mantle cell lymphoma. We aimed to investigate the activity of obinutuzumab plus DHAP (dexamethasone, high-dose cytarabine, and cisplatin), measured by minimal residual disease quantitative (q)PCR status in the bone marrow after four cycles. METHODS LyMa-101 was a prospective, open-label, single-arm, phase 2 trial. Participants were enrolled from 28 hospitals in France. Newly diagnosed patients with mantle cell lymphoma (aged 18 to <66 years) who were eligible for autologous stem-cell transplantation received four cycles of obinutuzumab plus DHAP (obinutuzumab 1000 mg/m2 intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15 at cycle 1 and day 1 at cycles 2, 3, and 4; dexamethasone 40 mg intravenously on days 1-4, cytarabine 2 g/m2 intravenously every 12 h on day 1, and according to local investigator, cisplatin 100 mg/m2 by continuous infusion over 24 h on day 1 or carboplatin area under the curve 5 or oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2) every 21 days before transplantation, and 3 years of obinutuzumab (1000 mg/m2 every 2 months) maintenance followed by minimal residual disease-based obinutuzumab on-demand maintenance. The primary outcome was minimal residual disease negativity in the bone marrow after four cycles of obinutuzumab plus DHAP at the end of induction, measured in the efficacy set (all minimal residual disease-informative [bone marrow or peripheral blood] patients who received at least one dose of obinutuzumab). Obinutuzumab plus DHAP was considered effective if bone marrow minimal residual disease negativity was 70% or more by intention to treat. The trial is closed to recruitment and registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02896582. FINDINGS 86 patients were enrolled between Nov 29, 2016, and May 2, 2018. 81 patients completed induction, 73 underwent autologous stem-cell transplantation, and 69 started maintenance therapy. 55 (75%) of 73 patients in the efficacy set reached minimal residual disease negativity in bone marrow at end of induction. According to the protocol definition, 18 (25%) of 73 patients in the efficacy set were minimal residual disease-positive: 12 patients who were minimal residual disease-positive in the bone marrow, plus two patients who progressed during induction, and four patients who did not have minimal residual disease assessment. The most common grade 3-4 treatment-emergent adverse events were anaemia (grade 3, 26 [31%] of 85 patients; grade 4, three [4%] of 85 patients) and neutropenia (grade 3, 13 [15%] of 85 patients; grade 4, 32 [38%] of 85 patients). 58 serious adverse events occurred during the induction phase. There were no treatment-related deaths. INTERPRETATION Obinutuzumab plus DHAP is a well tolerated regimen and has good activity for inducing minimal residual disease negativity in the bone marrow of transplant-eligible patients with mantle cell lymphoma. Obinutuzumab plus DHAP has potential activity as induction chemotherapy, with bone marrow minimal residual disease negativity potentially predicting long-term disease control. FUNDING Roche SAS.

Abstract
Background: Nodal mantle cell lymphoma (NMCL) has a worse survival than extra-nodal mantle cell lymphoma. Materials & methods: A cohort study was conducted to evaluate the primary site role as a mortality predictor using data from 1983 to 2011 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Results: Most patients had NMCL in multiple regions (71.9%). There was a significantly increased incidence of NMCL cases over years with 83.2% of them occurred between 1998 and 2011. The mean survival was 52.9 months with overall survival/cancer-specific survival rate of 29.2/42.9%, respectively. Lymph nodes of intrathoracic and multiple regions had a worse overall survival while the head, face and neck, intra-abdominal, pelvic, inguinal region and leg as well as multiple regions had worse cancer-specific survival. Conclusion: NMCL primary site can serve as a prognostic factor. We encourage adding it to MCL International Prognostic Index.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a chronically relapsing B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by recurrent molecular-cytogenetic aberrations that lead to deregulation of DNA damage response, cell cycle progression, epigenetics, apoptosis, proliferation, and motility. In the last 10 years, clinical approval of several innovative drugs dramatically changed the landscape of treatment options in the relapsed/refractory (R/R) MCL, which translated into significantly improved survival parameters. AREAS COVERED Here, up-to-date knowledge on the biology of MCL together with currently approved and clinically tested frontline and salvage therapies are reviewed. In addition, novel therapeutic targets in MCL based on the scientific reports published in Pubmed are discussed. EXPERT OPINION Bruton tyrosine-kinase inhibitors, NFkappaB inhibitors, BCL2 inhibitors, and immunomodulary agents in combination with monoclonal antibodies and genotoxic drugs have the potential to induce long-term remissions in majority of newly diagnosed MCL patients. Several other classes of anti-tumor drugs including phosphoinositole-3-kinase, cyclin-dependent kinase or DNA damage response kinase inhibitors have demonstrated promising anti-lymphoma efficacy in R/R MCL. Most importantly, adoptive immunotherapy with genetically modified T-cells carrying chimeric antigen receptor represents a potentially curative treatment approach even in the patients with chemotherapy and ibrutinib-refractory disease.

Abstract
The sterile alpha motif and histidine-aspartic domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) has been demonstrated to predict the response to high-dose cytarabine consolidation treatment in acute myeloid leukemia patients. Here, we evaluated SAMHD1 as potential biomarker for the response to high-dose cytarabine in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients. We quantified SAMHD1 protein expression and determined the mutation status in patients of the MCL Younger and Elderly trials (n = 189), who had received high-dose cytarabine- or fludarabine-based polychemotherapy. Additionally, we quantified SAMHD1 expression in B cell lymphoma cell lines and exposed them to cytarabine, fludarabine, and clinically relevant combinations. Across both trials investigated, SAMHD1 mutations had a frequency of 7.1% (n = 13) and did not significantly affect the failure-free survival (FFS, P = .47). In patients treated with high-dose cytarabine- or fludarabine-containing regimes, SAMHD1 expression was not significantly associated with FFS or complete remission rate. SAMHD1 expression in B cell lymphoma cell lines, however, inversely correlated with their in vitro response to cytarabine as single agent (R = .65, P = .0065). This correlation could be reversed by combining cytarabine with other chemotherapeutics, such as oxaliplatin and vincristine, similar to the treatment regime of the MCL Younger trial. We conclude that this might explain why we did not observe a significant association between SAMHD1 protein expression and the outcome of MCL patients upon cytarabine-based treatment.

Abstract
Blastoid and pleomorphic mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are among the worst prognostic, aggressive histology, high-risk variants of MCL, and, in this article, they are presented as blastoid MCL. Blastoid MCL have not been systematically studied, probably due to their rarity. De novo blastoid MCLs have superior outcomes compared with transformed MCL. Compared with classic MCL, extranodal involvement (mainly skin, central nervous system), frequent relapses, and inferior responses to conventional chemoimmunotherapy, BTK inhibitors and venetoclax are frequent in blastoid MCL. KTE-X19 induces excellent response in blastoid MCL. Combinations with novel agents are actively investigated. This article presents a comprehensive review on blastoid MCL in 2020.

Abstract
Several biological and clinical features have been recognized in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). In recent years, the minimal residual disease (MRD) has been extensively investigated and is now considered as one of the strongest clinical predictors in this lymphoma. This article reviews methods used for the assessment of MRD in MCL and discusses their strengths and weaknesses. In addition, it examines the MRD contribution to the biology knowledge of MCL and the development of effective strategies for its management, including the possibility of personalized treatment based on MRD response.

Abstract
With a median age of 65 years, mantle cell lymphoma affects predominantly older patients with comorbidities. Initial treatment of older patients is not standardized but traditionally includes chemoimmunotherapy regimens that are not curative. Incorporation of maintenance strategy after induction and introduction of novel agents have expanded access to effective treatment options and improved survival outcome. Ongoing randomized studies comparing induction regimens and maintenance strategies are expected to further define the role of novel agents and combinations in the initial treatment of older patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

Abstract
Rituximab-containing induction followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard first-line treatment for young mantle cell lymphoma patients. However, most patients relapse after ASCT. We investigated in a randomised phase II study the outcome of a chemo-immuno regimen and ASCT with or without maintenance therapy with bortezomib. Induction consisted of three cycles R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone), two cycles high-dose cytarabine, BEAM (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan) and ASCT. Patients responding were randomised between bortezomib maintenance (1·3 mg/m2 intravenously once every 2 weeks, for 2 years) and observation. Of 135 eligible patients, 115 (85%) proceeded to ASCT, 60 (44%) were randomised. With a median follow-up of 77·5 months for patients still alive, 5-year event-free survival (EFS) was 51% (95% CI 42-59%); 5-year overall survival (OS) was 73% (95% CI 65-80%). The median follow-up of randomised patients still alive was 71·5 months. Patients with bortezomib maintenance had a 5-year EFS of 63% (95% CI 44-78%) and 5-year OS of 90% (95% CI 72-97%). The patients randomised to observation had 5-year PFS of 60% (95% CI, 40-75%) and OS of 90% (95% CI 72-97%). In conclusion, in this phase II study we found no indication of a positive effect of bortezomib maintenance after ASCT.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Elderly patients represent a consistent portion of new diagnoses of B cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (B-NHL). The treatment approach in this setting can be challenging for clinicians due to treatment toxicities and patients' comorbidities to deal with. Immunochemotherapy still represents the main option in the front-line setting for diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), with different options to choose depending on patient characteristics. In the last decade, a number of new drugs and combinations have been investigated, demonstrating efficacy and safety even in the older population and extending the spectrum of treatment choices for this setting. AREAS COVERED This article reviews the majority data in literature on immunochemotherapy regimens and chemo-free approaches available for DLBCL, FL, and MCL in the elderly, both in front-line and relapse/refractory setting, the incoming drugs and how to identify the best option for each patient. EXPERT OPINION The therapeutic approach for elderly B-NHL is challenging and a tailored approach guided by a geriatric assessment is mandatory, in order to optimize efficacy and minimize treatment-related toxicities. The more extended use of biological drugs may potentially lead to prolonged survival with reduction of toxicities and improved quality of life.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Mantle cell lymphoma is a CD5+ non-Hodgkin lymphoma associated with suboptimal outcome. Young, fit patients are generally offered intensive induction followed by autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) in first remission. Some patients may not benefit from this strategy. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies have investigated the role of AHCT in the modern era. First, an analysis of the National Cancer Database demonstrated improved progression-free survival (PFS) for consolidative AHCT. Second, a multi-center study associated consolidative AHCT with improved PFS even after propensity-weighted analysis. Improved overall survival (OS) for certain subgroups was suggested. Third, patients with p53 mutations derive little benefit from AHCT. Finally, retrospective series suggest certain high-risk patients may be considered for allogenic HCT. AHCT consolidation in first remission is associated with improved PFS even after adjustment for disease severity. An overall survival benefit has not been definitively shown. Patients with p53 mutations should be treated with novel agents.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an uncommon B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by an aggressive clinical course in the majority of patients. Despite recent improvements in outcomes, MCL remains incurable and a major therapeutic challenge. BTK inhibitors are the preferred treatment option for patients with relapsed/refractory MCL, including those unfit for chemotherapy or those with chemoresistant disease. In addition to ibrutinib and acalabrutinib, the FDA recently approved zanubrutinib for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory MCL based on the results of two Phase 2 clinical trials showing overall response rates of 85-87% with complete responses in 30-77% of patients. Compared with ibrutinib, zanubrutinib is more selective for BTK and has less off-target inhibition, which is thought to limit certain toxicities although direct comparative data are still lacking. This review article summarizes data from clinical trials of currently FDA-approved BTK inhibitors in MCL with a focus on zanubrutinib.

Abstract
MCL is a well-characterized generally aggressive lymphoma with a poor prognosis. However, patients with a more indolent disease have been reported in whom the initiation of therapy can be delayed without any consequence for the survival. In 2017 the World Health Organization updated the classification of MCL describing two main subtypes with specific molecular characteristics and clinical features, classical and indolent leukaemic nonnodal MCL. Recent research results suggested an improving outcome of this neoplasm. The addition of rituximab to conventional chemotherapy has increased overall response rates, but it did not improve overall survival compared to chemotherapy alone. The use of intensive frontline therapies including rituximab and consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation ameliorated response rate and prolonged progression-free survival in young fit patients, but any impact on survival remains to be proven. Furthermore, the optimal timing, cytoreductive regimen and conditioning regimen, and the clinical implications of achieving a disease remission even at molecular level remain to be elucidated. The development of targeted therapies as the consequence of better understanding of pathogenetic pathways in MCL might improve the outcome of conventional chemotherapy and spare the toxicity of intense therapy in most patients. Cases not eligible for intensive regimens, may be considered for less demanding therapies, such as the combination of rituximab either with CHOP or with purine analogues, or bendamustine. Allogeneic SCT can be an effective option for relapsed disease in patients who are fit enough and have a compatible donor. Maintenance rituximab may be considered after response to immunochemotherapy as the first-line strategy in a wide range of patients. Finally, since the optimal approach to the management of MCL is still evolving, it is critical that these patients are enrolled in clinical trials to identify the better treatment options.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma has a dismal prognosis at relapse or in the refractory setting. Among therapies, mTor pathway targeting by temsirolimus has been the first strategy approved for relapse in Europe. While its efficacy in monotherapy has long been demonstrated, its use remains limited. In the T3 phase Ib clinical trial, we investigated the recommended dose of temsirolimus in association with R-CHOP (R-CHOP-T), or high-dose cytarabine plus rituximab (R-DHA-T), or fludarabine, cyclophosphamide plus rituximab (R-FC-T). From November 11, 2011 to February 26, 2015, forty-one patients were enrolled. Patients presented with high MIPI (47.5%) at relapse and a median number of treatments of 1 (1-3). Patients were treated by R-CHOP-T (n = 10), R-FC-T (n = 14), or R-DHA-T (n = 17) according to the choice of local investigators. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was 15 mg in the R-CHOP-T arm and has not been determined in other treatment arms because of toxicities. All patients experienced ≥ Grade 3 adverse events, mainly thrombocytopenia (76%). Twenty-six patients discontinued prematurely the treatment, mostly for toxicity (n = 12) and progression of the disease (n = 8). Of note, 6 patients of the R-DHA-T arm reached complete remission (35%). Temsirolimus with immuno-chemotherapy is associated with a high rate of toxicities. Determination of MTD could only be achieved for R-CHOP-T arm. Associations between temsirolimus and other targeted therapies may be warranted for R/R MCL patients.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare but aggressive B-cell hemopathy characterized by the translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) that leads to the overexpression of the cell cycle regulatory protein cyclin D1. This translocation is the initial event of the lymphomagenesis, but tumor cells can acquire additional alterations allowing the progression of the disease with a more aggressive phenotype and a tight dependency on microenvironment signaling. To date, the chemotherapeutic-based standard care is largely inefficient and despite the recent advent of different targeted therapies including proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, relapses are frequent and are generally related to a dismal prognosis. As a result, MCL remains an incurable disease. In this review, we will present the molecular mechanisms of drug resistance learned from both preclinical and clinical experiences in MCL, detailing the main tumor intrinsic processes and signaling pathways associated to therapeutic drug escape. We will also discuss the possibility to counteract the acquisition of drug refractoriness through the design of more efficient strategies, with an emphasis on the most recent combination approaches.

Final Results of a Phase I/II Trial of the Combination Bendamustine and Rituximab With Temsirolimus (BeRT) in Relapsed Mantle Cell Lymphoma and Follicular Lymphoma. Hemasphere 2020; 4:e398. [PMID: 32647802 PMCID: PMC7306311 DOI: 10.1097/hs9.0000000000000398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2020] [Accepted: 04/16/2020] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
In this phase I/II study, we explored the combination of Temsirolimus with Bendamustine and Rituximab (BeRT) in patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) follicular lymphoma (FL) or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Patients with 1 to 3 previous therapies received Bendamustine (90 mg/m2, day 1 + 2) and Rituximab (375 mg/m2, day 1) with Temsirolimus in doses from 25 to 75 mg in phase I and 50 mg Temsirolimus in phase II, added on day 1, 8, 15 of a 28 days cycle. The primary endpoint of the phase II was ORR at the end of treatment. Overall, 39 (29 MCL, 10 FL) patients were included. Median age was 71 years and median pretreatment number was 2. Grade 3/4 non-hematologic adverse events were rare and included hyperglycemia in 3 patients (7%) and angioedema in 2 patients (5%). Infectious complications grade 3/4 were observed in 9 patients (23%). Hematologic grade 3/4 events included leukopenia in 22 (56%), neutropenia in 18 (46%), lymphopenia in 16 (41%) and thrombocytopenia in 14 patients (36%). An objective response (best response) was observed in 33/39 patients (89%; 24 MCL (89%) and 9 FL (90%)), including 14 CR (38%; 12 MCL (36%) and 2 FL (20%)). Median PFS is 1.5y for MCL and 1.82 years for FL, and median OS has not been reached for either entity. This data demonstrates promising efficacy of Temsirolimus in r/r MCL and FL with acceptable toxicity. The BeRT regimen may be used as a treatment option for both entities.

Abstract
Immunochemotherapy followed by autologous transplant (ASCT) in CALGB/Alliance 59909 achieved a median progression-free survival (PFS) in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) of 5 years, but late recurrences occurred. We evaluated tolerability and efficacy of adding post-transplant bortezomib consolidation (BC) or maintenance (BM) to this regimen in CALGB/Alliance 50403, a randomized phase II trial. Following augmented-dose R-CHOP/ methotrexate, high-dose cytarabine-based stem cell mobilization, cyclophosphamide/carmustine/etoposide (CBV) autotransplant, and rituximab, patients were randomized to BC (1.3 mg/m2 IV days 1, 4, 8, 11 of a 3-week cycle for four cycles) or BM (1.6 mg/m2 IV once weekly × 4 every 8 weeks for 18 months) beginning day 90. The primary endpoint was PFS, measured from randomization for each arm. Proliferation signature, Ki67, and postinduction minimal residual disease (MRD) in bone marrow were assessed. Of 151 patients enrolled; 118 (80%) underwent ASCT, and 102 (68%) were randomized. Both arms met the primary endpoint, with median PFS significantly greater than 4 years (P < .001). The 8-year PFS estimates in the BC and BM arms were 54.1% (95% CI 40.9%-71.5%) and 64.4% (95% 51.8%-79.0%), respectively. Progression-free survival was significantly longer for transplanted patients on 50403 compared with those on 59909. Both the PFS and OS were significantly better for those who were MRD-negative post-induction. The high risk proliferation signature was associated with adverse outcome. Both BM and BC were efficacious and tolerable, although toxicity was significant. The comparison between studies 50403 and 59909 with long-term follow up suggests a PFS benefit from the addition of BC or BM post- transplant.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare and incurable lymphoproliferative disorder. In the MCL01 trial, patients were treated with the R-HCVAD regimen [rituximab plus HyperCVAD (hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, dexamethasone; R-CVAD) alternating with high-dose methotrexate and cytarabine (AM)] for four cycles followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for those who reached only a partial response. After a median follow-up of 10·5 years, we reported 10-year progression-free and overall survival rates of 35% and 61% respectively, with a 10-years cumulative incidence rate of second malignancies of 10·6%. Mature results of the MCL01 trial confirmed the efficacy of HyperCVAD-AM as a frontline regimen for younger patients (≤65 years).

Abstract
With the emerging application of novel targeted agents in the induction, maintenance and salvage strategies, management of aggressive mantle cell lymphoma is being transformed from high-intensity chemo-immunotherapy applicable to only selected patients, to more personalized treatment incorporating novel agents that are effective and accessible for the majority of the patients. This review summarizes risk-stratified management paradigm for aggressive mantle cell lymphoma, providing context for clinical applications of novel agents and cellular therapy including stem cell transplant and CAR-T.

Abstract
The novel Coronavirus (CoVid-19) outbreak is now consider a world pandemic, affecting more than 1,300,000 people worldwide. Cancer patients are in risk for severe disease, including a higher risk of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, need for invasive ventilation or death. Management of patients with lymphoid malignancies can be challenging during the outbreak, due to need of multiple hospital visits and admissions, immunosuppression and need for chemotherapy, radiotherapy and stem cell transplantation. In this article, we will focus on the practical management of patients with lymphoid malignancies during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on minimizing the risk for patients.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and the marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) subtypes (nodal MZL, extra-nodal MZL of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) and splenic MZL) are uncommon lymphoma subtypes, accounting for less than 5-10% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The evidence base for therapy is therefore limited and enrolment into clinical trials is preferred. Outcomes for patients with MCL have been steadily improving mainly due to the adoption of more intense strategies in younger patients, the use of rituximab maintenance and the recent introduction of bendamustine in older patients. MZL is a more heterogeneous group of cancer with both nodal, extra-nodal and splenic subtypes. Extranodal MZL may be associated with autoimmune or infectious aetiologies, and can respond to eradication of the causative pathogen. Proton pump inhibitor plus dual antibiotics in Helicobacter pylori positive gastric MALT lymphoma is curative in many patients. Watchful waiting is appropriate in most patients with asymptomatic advanced stage disease, which tends to behave in a particularly indolent manner. Other options for symptomatic disease include splenectomy, chemoimmunotherapy with rituximab and, more recently, targeted therapies.

J Hematol Oncol 2020; 13:21. [PMID: 32183871 PMCID: PMC7079508 DOI: 10.1186/s13045-020-00855-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2019] [Accepted: 03/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a B cell malignancy that can be aggressive and with a poor prognosis; the clinical course is heterogeneous. The epidemiology of MCL in Asia is not well documented but appears to comprise 2-6% of all lymphoma cases based on available data, with variation observed between countries. Although international guidelines are available for the treatment of MCL, there is a lack of published data or guidance on the clinical characteristics and management of MCL in patient populations from Asia. This paper aims to review the available treatment and, where clinical gaps exist, provide expert consensus from the Asian Lymphoma Study Group (ALSG) on appropriate MCL management in Asia. BODY: Management strategies for MCL are patient- and disease stage-specific and aim to achieve balance between efficacy outcomes and toxicity. For asymptomatic patients with clearly indolent disease, observation may be an appropriate strategy. For stage I/II disease, following international guidelines is appropriate, which include either a short course of conventional chemotherapy followed by consolidated radiotherapy, less aggressive chemotherapy regimens, or a combination of these approaches. For advanced disease, the approach is based on the age and fitness of the patient. For young, fit patients, the current practice for induction therapy differs across Asia, with cytarabine having an important role in this setting. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) may be justified in selected patients because of the high relapse risk. In elderly patients, specific chemoimmunotherapy regimens available in each country/region are a treatment option. For maintenance therapy after first-line treatment, the choice of approach should be individualized, with cost being an important consideration within Asia. For relapsed/refractory disease, ibrutinib should be considered as well as other follow-on compounds, if available. CONCLUSION Asian patient-specific data for the treatment of MCL are lacking, and the availability of treatment options differs between country/region within Asia. Therefore, there is no clear one-size-fits-all approach and further investigation on the most appropriate sequence of treatment that should be considered for this heterogeneous disease.

Abstract
To assess the efficacy of radioimmunotherapy (RIT) with 90yttrium-ibrutinib-tiuxetan (90Y-IT) in mantle cell lymphoma, data from 90 patients registered in the RIT Network with a median follow-up (FU) of 5.5 years after RIT were evaluated. 90Y-IT was given as first-line therapy in 45 (50%) and for relapse in 45 (50%) patients. Most patients received 90Y-IT as consolidation after chemoimmunotherapy in first line (98%) and in relapse (53%). As a first-line treatment, 30 patients (pts.) (67%) achieved CR, 10 pts. (22%) PR%. and 1 pt. (2%) PD, and for 4 pts. (9%), no response data was available. At relapse, CR was achieved in 17 pts. (38%), PR in 6 pts. (13%), SD in 2 pts. (4%), and 6 pts. (13%) had PD, while the response was not documented for 14 pts. (31%). After a median FU of 5.5 years, median PFS for all patients was 2.11 (95% CI, 1.03–2.32) years, and median OS was 4.05 (95% CI, 2.79–7.21) years. Eleven pts. (12.2%) developed second malignancy. In conclusion, this is the largest report of MCL pts. treated with 90Y-IT to date. 90Y-IT was most often used as consolidation after first- and second-line chemotherapy and may improve the results achieved using chemoimmunotherapy alone. However, the results are less encouraging compared to treatment with small molecules such as ibrutinib.

LANCET HAEMATOLOGY 2020; 7:e295-e308. [PMID: 32135128 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-3026(20)30031-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2019] [Revised: 01/23/2020] [Accepted: 01/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients treated for non-Hodgkin lymphoma are at risk of cardiovascular adverse events, with the risk of heart failure being particularly high. A regimen of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone, with (R-CHOP) or without (CHOP) rituximab is the standard first-line treatment for aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide are both associated with left ventricular dysfunction. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the cardiovascular toxicity of this regimen. METHODS We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library from database inception to June 3, 2019, for clinical trials and observational studies in adult patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma not otherwise specified) that received first-line treatment with R-CHOP or CHOP. Studies reporting on cardiovascular adverse events and treatment-related cardiovascular mortality were included. Abstracts and articles not written in English were excluded. The main outcomes were the proportion of patients with grade 3-4 cardiovascular adverse events and heart failure. Meta-analyses of one-sample proportions were done in all patients receiving CHOP or R-CHOP. Subgroup analyses on summary estimates were done to determine the effect of number of CHOP or R-CHOP cycles, cycle interval, age, and sex. FINDINGS Of 2314 identified entries, 137 studies (21 211 patients) published between April, 1984, and June, 2019 were eligible (9541 patients treated with CHOP, 11 293 patients treated with R-CHOP, 377 both regimens used in the study; median follow-up 39·0 months [IQR 25·5-52·8]). From the included studies, 85 subgroups were treated with CHOP, 76 with R-CHOP, and in four studies both CHOP and R-CHOP were used without a subdivision in separate groups. The pooled proportion for grade 3-4 cardiovascular adverse events, based on 77 studies (n=14 351 patients), was 2·35% (95% CI 1·81-2·93; heterogeneity test Q=326·21; τ2=0·0042; I2=71·40%; p<0·0001). For heart failure, the pooled proportion, based on 38 studies (n=5936 patients), was 4·62% (2·25-7·65; heterogeneity test Q=527·33; τ2=0·0384; I2=95·05%; p<0·0001), with a significant increase in reported heart failure from 1·64% (95% CI 0·82-2·65) to 11·72% (3·00-24·53) when cardiac function was evaluated post-chemotherapy (p=0·017). 53 (39%) of 137 studies were rated as having high risk of bias for incomplete outcome data and 54 (39%) for selective reporting. INTERPRETATION The considerable increase of reported heart failures with cardiac monitoring, indicates that this complication often remains undiagnosed in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma who received first-line R-CHOP or CHOP. Our findings are of importance to raise awareness of this complication among clinicians treating patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and stresses the need for cardiac monitoring during and after chemotherapy. Prompt initiation of treatment for heart failure in the presymptomatic phase can mitigate the progression to more advanced heart failure stages. FUNDING None.

Abstract
Importance Maintenance therapies are often considered as a therapeutic strategy in patients with lymphoma following autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT) to mitigate the risk of disease relapse. With an evolving therapeutic landscape, where novel drugs are moving earlier in therapy lines, evidence relevant to contemporary practice is increasingly limited. The American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (ASBMT), Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR), and European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) jointly convened an expert panel with diverse expertise and geographical representation to formulate consensus recommendations regarding the use of maintenance and/or consolidation therapies after auto-HCT in patients with lymphoma. Observations The RAND-modified Delphi method was used to generate consensus statements where at least 75% vote in favor of a recommendation was considered as consensus. The process included 3 online surveys moderated by an independent methodological expert to ensure anonymity and an in-person meeting. The panel recommended restricting the histologic categories covered in this project to Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and follicular lymphoma. On completion of the voting process, the panel generated 22 consensus statements regarding post auto-HCT maintenance and/or consolidation therapies. The grade A recommendations included endorsement of: (1) brentuximab vedotin (BV) maintenance and/or consolidation in BV-naïve high-risk HL, (2) rituximab maintenance in MCL undergoing auto-HCT after first-line therapy, (3) rituximab maintenance in rituximab-naïve FL, and (4) No post auto-HCT maintenance was recommended in DLBCL. The panel also developed consensus statements for important real-world clinical scenarios, where randomized data are lacking to guide clinical practice. Conclusions and Relevance In the absence of contemporary evidence-based data, the panel found RAND-modified Delphi methodology effective in providing a rigorous framework for developing consensus recommendations for post auto-HCT maintenance and/or consolidation therapies in lymphoma.
