Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogenous hematological disorder with malignant potential controlled by immunological characteristics of the tumor microenvironment. Rapid breakthrough in the molecular pathways has made immunological approaches the main anchor in the management of DLBCL, with or without chemotherapeutic agents. Rituximab was the first monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of DLBCL. Following rituximab that transformed the therapeutic landscape, other novel immunological agents including chimeric antigen T-cell therapy have reshaped the management of relapsed/refractory DLBCL. However, resistance and refractory state remain a challenge in the management of DLBCL. For this literature review, we screened articles from Medline, Embase, Cochrane databases and the European/North American guidelines from March 2010 through October 2022 for DLBCL. Here we discuss immunological agents that will significantly affect future treatment of this aggressive type of lymphoma.

Abstract
Importance In addition to technical barriers, public attitudes about the use of gene therapy have an important association with the clinical implementation of gene therapy. Objective To investigate the factors associated with public acceptance of gene therapy among individuals in China. Design, Setting, and Participants This cross-sectional study used data from a survey conducted among 21 880 individuals in mainland China from June 20 to August 31, 2022. Main Outcomes and Measures Stepwise linear regression was used to analyze factors associated with public acceptance of gene therapy in 5 key areas: basic personal information (gender, region, age, and educational level), family situation (marital status, children, and cousins), economic status (assets, debts, and insurance coverage), health knowledge (health literacy score and media use), and physical health status (chronic illness, cancer, European Quality of Life 5-Dimension 5-Level version [EQ-5D-5L] score, and Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire [BIPQ] score). Acceptance scores were calculated based on a visual analog scale (range, 0-100, with higher scores indicating higher acceptance of gene therapy). Further subgroup analysis was carried out in different age subgroups and populations with or without chronic diseases. Results A total of 21 880 participants (mean [SD] age, 39.4 [18.9] years; 10 947 female participants [50.0%]; 10 933 male participants [50.0%]) were analyzed in this study. The mean (SD) acceptance score of gene therapy in the survey was 60.56 (27.60). Compared with people aged 60 years or older, those aged 12 to 18 years had higher acceptance of gene therapy (β = 1.48 [95% CI, 0.09-2.88]), while groups aged 19 to 30 years (β = -3.43 [95% CI, -4.80 to -2.07]), 31 to 44 years (β = -1.44 [95% CI, -2.76 to -0.12]), and 45 to 59 years (β = -2.05 [95% CI, -3.27 to -0.83]) had lower acceptance. Compared with people living in Eastern China, those in Central China had lower acceptance of gene therapy (β = -1.58 [95% CI, -2.54 to -0.62]), while those in Western China had higher acceptance (β = 0.92 [95% CI, 0.09-1.76]). Higher educational level (undergraduate or above vs junior high or below) was associated with higher acceptance of gene therapy (β = 1.56 [95% CI, 0.49-2.63]). Number of properties owned was also associated with higher acceptance of gene therapy (2 vs 0: β = 2.38 [95% CI, 1.04-3.72]; ≥3 vs 0: β = 4.66 [95% CI, 2.92-6.39]). Diagnosis of chronic disease was associated with lower acceptance of gene therapy (β = -17.86 [95% CI, -20.49 to -15.24]), while diagnosis of cancer was associated with higher acceptance (β = 6.99 [95% CI, 1.84-12.14]). Higher BIPQ score (β = 0.40 [95% CI, 0.34-0.45]), higher health literacy score (β = 0.70 [95% CI, 0.62-0.78]), and media use (β = 0.49 [95% CI, 0.41-0.57]) were all associated with high acceptance of gene therapy, while a higher EQ-5D-5L score was associated with lower acceptance (β = -0.29 [95% CI, -0.47 to -0.11]). For older people, being in debt, not having health insurance, and the EQ-5D-5L score were uniquely relevant factors. For people with chronic disease, having an undergraduate degree or higher, a diagnosis of cancer, and the BIPQ score were uniquely relevant factors. Conclusions and Relevance These results suggest that basic personal information, economic status, health knowledge, and physical health status were the main factors associated with the acceptance of gene therapy. Improving the health literacy of the population and promoting trust in gene therapy may be effective ways to increase the acceptance of gene therapy. Poorer economic levels and worse disease states may reduce the public's willingness to accept gene therapy.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CART) has extended survival of patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, limited durability of response and prevalent toxicities remain problematic. Identifying patients who are at high risk of disease progression, toxicity, and death would inform treatment decisions. Although the cumulative illness rating scale (CIRS) has been shown to correlate with survival in B-cell malignancies, no prognostic score has been independently validated in CART recipients. We retrospectively identified 577 patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL indicated for CART at 9 academic centers to form a learning cohort (LC). Random survival forest modeling of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) was performed to determine the most influential CIRS organ systems and severity grades. The presence of a severe comorbidity (CIRS score ≥ 3) in the respiratory, upper gastrointestinal, hepatic, or renal system, herein termed "Severe4," had the greatest impact on post-CART survival. Controlling for other prognostic factors (number of prior therapies, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, BCL6 translocation, and molecular subtype), Severe4 was strongly associated with shorter PFS and OS in the LC and in an independent single-center validation cohort (VC). Severe4 was also a significant predictor of grade ≥3 cytokine release syndrome in the LC, while maintaining this trend in the VC. Thus, our results indicate that adverse outcomes for patients with DLBCL meant to receive CART can be predicted using a simplified CIRS-derived comorbidity index.

Abstract
Lung cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and worldwide. The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors has led to a marked improvement in the outcomes of lung cancer patients. Despite these advances, there is a huge unmet need for therapeutic options in patients who are not candidates for targeted or immunotherapy or those who progress after first-line treatment. With its high mutational burden, lung cancer appears to be an attractive target for novel personalized treatment approaches. In this review, we provide an overview of two adoptive cell therapy approaches-chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) T-cell therapy and Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in lung cancer with an emphasis on current challenges and future perspectives. While both these therapies are still in the early phases of development in lung cancer and need more refinement, they harbor the potential to be effective treatment options for this group of patients with otherwise poor prognoses.

Abstract
The outcomes of Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma have been historically poor. The recent development of several novel therapies including CD19 directed agents has improved the prognosis of this disease significantly. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has drastically changed the treatment of R/R DLBCL, but it is still associated with significant barriers and limited access. Tafasitamab (an anti-CD19 engineered monoclonal antibody), in addition to lenalidomide, has shown significant efficacy with exceptionally durable responses in patients with R/R DLBCL who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Tafasitamab-lenalidomide and certain other therapies (ie, antibody-drug conjugates and bispecific antibodies) are important treatment options for patients who are ineligible for CAR-T due to co-morbidities or lack of access, and patients with rapid progression of disease who are unable to wait for manufacturing of CAR-T. This review will thus discuss currently approved and recently studied targeted treatment options for patients with R/R DLBCL with an emphasis on CAR-T alternative options, particularly Tafasitamab-lenalidomide.

Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents the commonest subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and encompasses a group of diverse disease entities, each harboring unique molecular and clinico-pathological features. The understanding of the molecular landscape of DLBCL has improved significantly over the past decade, highlighting unique genomic subtypes with implications on targeted therapy. At the same time, several new treatment modalities have been recently approved both in the frontline and relapsed settings, ending a dearth of negative clinical trials that plagued the past decade. Despite that, in the real-world setting, issues like drug accessibility, reimbursement policies, physician and patient preference, as well as questions regarding optimal sequencing of treatment options present difficulties and challenges in day-to-day oncology practice. Here, we review the recent advances in the therapeutic armamentarium of DLBCL and discuss implications on the practice landscape, with a particular emphasis on the context of the healthcare system in Singapore.

Abstract
The treatment paradigms for patients with relapsed large B-cell lymphoma are expanding. Chimeric antigen receptor technology (CAR-T) has revolutionized the management of these patients. Novel bispecific antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates, used as chemotherapy-free single agents or in combination with other novel therapeutics, have been quickly introduced into the real-world setting. With such a paradigm shift, patients have an improved chance of better outcomes with unpredictable complete remission rates. Additionally, the excellent tolerance of new antibodies targeting B-cell lymphomas is another motivation to broaden its use in relapsed and refractory patients. With the increasing number of approved therapy approaches, future research needs to focus on optimizing the sequence and developing new combination strategies for these antibodies, both among themselves and with other agents. Clinical, pathological, and genetic risk profiling can assist in identifying which patients are most likely to benefit from these costly therapeutic options. However, new combinations may lead to new side effects, which we must learn to deal with. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on several innovative antibodies for the precision management of large B-cell lymphoma. It explores various treatment strategies, such as CAR-T vs. ASCT, naked antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies, and bispecific T-cell engagers, as well as discussing the challenges and future perspectives of novel treatment strategies. We also delve into resistance mechanisms and factors that may affect decision making. Moreover, each section provides a detailed analysis of the available literature and ongoing clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In an analysis of the primary outcome of this phase 3 trial, patients with early relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma who received axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), an autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, as second-line treatment had significantly longer event-free survival than those who received standard care. Data were needed on longer-term outcomes. METHODS In this trial, we randomly assigned patients with early relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma in a 1:1 ratio to receive either axi-cel or standard care (two to three cycles of chemoimmunotherapy followed by high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem-cell transplantation in patients who had a response). The primary outcome was event-free survival, and key secondary outcomes were response and overall survival. Here, we report the results of the prespecified overall survival analysis at 5 years after the first patient underwent randomization. RESULTS A total of 359 patients underwent randomization to receive axi-cel (180 patients) or standard care (179 patients). At a median follow-up of 47.2 months, death had been reported in 82 patients in the axi-cel group and in 95 patients in the standard-care group. The median overall survival was not reached in the axi-cel group and was 31.1 months in the standard-care group; the estimated 4-year overall survival was 54.6% and 46.0%, respectively (hazard ratio for death, 0.73; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54 to 0.98; P = 0.03 by stratified two-sided log-rank test). This increased survival with axi-cel was observed in the intention-to-treat population, which included 74% of patients with primary refractory disease and other high-risk features. The median investigator-assessed progression-free survival was 14.7 months in the axi-cel group and 3.7 months in the standard-care group, with estimated 4-year percentages of 41.8% and 24.4%, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.38 to 0.67). No new treatment-related deaths had occurred since the primary analysis of event-free survival. CONCLUSIONS At a median follow-up of 47.2 months, axi-cel as second-line treatment for patients with early relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma resulted in significantly longer overall survival than standard care.

Maakaron JE, William BM. Age is No Barrier: CAR-T Therapy in Older Adults. Drugs Aging 2023:10.1007/s40266-023-01047-z. [PMID: 37432595 DOI: 10.1007/s40266-023-01047-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/12/2023]
Abstract
In the last decade, chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cells have revolutionized the treatment of hematological malignancies. With six different products for five diseases in various settings, CAR-T use has increased, and the comfort level of prescribers continues to expand. These therapies carry substantial toxicities that may limit their applicability to all patient populations. In the registrational trials, older adults are represented as part of a whole and risks specific to older age may not be clearly outlined. The aim of this review is to summarize the data from clinical trials, as well as real-life evidence, that outline the safety of CAR-T in older adults. With most of the data coming from CD19 CAR-T for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, it appears that CAR-T can be safely administered to older individuals.

Abstract
Traditional cancer treatments use nonspecific drugs and monoclonal antibodies to target tumor cells. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy, however, leverages the immune system's T-cells to recognize and attack tumor cells. T-cells are isolated from patients and modified to target tumor-associated antigens. CAR-T therapy has achieved FDA approval for treating blood cancers like B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, large B-cell lymphoma, and multiple myeloma by targeting CD-19 and B-cell maturation antigens. Bi-specific chimeric antigen receptors may contribute to mitigating tumor antigen escape, but their efficacy could be limited in cases where certain tumor cells do not express the targeted antigens. Despite success in blood cancers, CAR-T technology faces challenges in solid tumors, including lack of reliable tumor-associated antigens, hypoxic cores, immunosuppressive tumor environments, enhanced reactive oxygen species, and decreased T-cell infiltration. To overcome these challenges, current research aims to identify reliable tumor-associated antigens and develop cost-effective, tumor microenvironment-specific CAR-T cells. This review covers the evolution of CAR-T therapy against various tumors, including hematological and solid tumors, highlights challenges faced by CAR-T cell therapy, and suggests strategies to overcome these obstacles, such as utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing and artificial intelligence to optimize clinical-grade CAR-T cells.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is a promising form of immunotherapy that has seen significant advancements in the past few decades. It involves genetically modifying T cells to target cancer cells expressing specific antigens, providing a novel approach to treating various types of cancer. However, the initial success of first-generation CAR-T cells was limited due to inadequate proliferation and undesirable outcomes. Nonetheless, significant progress has been made in CAR-T cell engineering, leading to the development of the latest fifth-generation CAR-T cells that can target multiple antigens and overcome individual limitations. Despite these advancements, some shortcomings prevent the widespread use of CAR-T therapy, including life-threatening toxicities, T-cell exhaustion, and inadequate infiltration for solid tumors. Researchers have made considerable efforts to address these issues by developing new strategies for improving CAR-T cell function and reducing toxicities. This review provides an overview of the path of CAR-T cell development and highlights some of the prominent advances in its structure and manufacturing process, which include the strategies to improve antigen recognition, enhance T-cell activation and persistence, and overcome immune escape. Finally, the review briefly covers other immune cells for cancer therapy and ends with the discussion on the broad prospects of CAR-T in the treatment of various diseases, not just hematological tumors, and the challenges that need to be addressed for the widespread clinical application of CAR-T cell therapies.

Abstract
The study of the cellular and molecular microenvironment in B cell lymphoma, especially diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), has led to prognostic and therapeutic algorithms that may improve patient outcomes. Emerging gene signature panels provide a granular understanding of DLBCL based on the immune tumor microenvironment (iTME). In addition, some gene signatures identify lymphomas that are more responsive to immune-based treatment, indicating that the iTME has a biological signature that could affect outcomes when targeted. In this issue of the JCI, Apollonio et al. report on fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) as potential targets in aggressive lymphoma. FRCs interacted with lymphoma cells and induced a state of chronic inflammation that suppressed immune function by impeding optimal T cell migration and inhibiting CD8+ T cell lytic function. These findings suggest that manipulating the iTME by directly targeting FRCs may enhance responses to immunotherapy in DLBCL.

Abstract
Most patients with Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) are old (>65 years of age) and this population is expected to increase in the following years. A simplified geriatric assessment based on a careful evaluation of the fitness status and comorbidities is essential to choose the correct intensity of treatment. Fit older patients can benefit from a standard immunochemotherapy, while unfit/frail patients frequently need reduced doses or substitution of particular agents with less toxic ones. This review focuses on new therapies (e.g., polatuzumab vedotin, tafasitamab, bispecific antibodies) that have indicated promising results in relapsed/refractory patients, particularly in cases not eligible to transplant. Some of these new drugs have been tested as single agents or in combinations as first-line treatment, aiming to improve the outcome of the traditional chemotherapy. If preliminary efficacy and safety data are confirmed in future clinical trials, a chemo-free immunotherapic approach could become an alternative option to offer a curative treatment even in frail patients.

Abstract
Several key advances in the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) over the past two decades have strategically exploited B-cell lineage markers suitable for targeting by immunotherapies. First, the addition of the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) rituximab to a range of standard therapies conferred remarkable outcomes improvements in diverse settings, perhaps most prominently an overall survival advantage in newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Subsequently, multiple chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies targeting CD19 have revolutionized the treatment of relapsed/refractory (rel/ref) DLBCL and are active in other B-NHL subtypes as well. Most recently, the longstanding aspiration to exploit patients' endogenous T-cells to combat lymphoma has been achieved via T-cell redirecting therapies such as bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) that incorporate dual targeting of a T-cell antigen such as CD3 plus a B-cell antigen such as CD19 or CD20 expressed by the tumor. These novel agents have demonstrated impressive activity as monotherapies in patients with heavily pre-treated, rel/ref B-NHL of a variety of subtypes. Now, myriad clinical trials are exploring combinations of T-cell redirectors with targeted therapies, antibody-drug conjugates, conventional chemotherapy, and even new immunotherapies. Here, we highlight key landmarks in the development of T-cell redirecting therapies for the treatment of B-NHL, emerging evidence and lessons from recent clinical trials, and exciting new directions in this arena.

Abstract
Background The second decade of this millennium was characterized by a widespread availability of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies to treat relapsed and refractory lymphomas. As expected, the role and indication of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT) in the management of lymphoma changed. Currently, a non-neglectable proportion of patients will be considered candidate for an allo-HSCT, and the debate of which transplant platform should be offered is still active. Objectives to report the outcome of patients affected with relapsed/refractory lymphoma and transplanted following reduced intensity conditioning at King's College Hospital, London, between January 2009 and April 2021. Methods Conditioning was with 150mg/m2 of fludarabine and melphalan of 140mg/m2. The graft was unmanipulated G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood haematopoietic stem cells (PBSC). Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis consisted of pre-transplant Campath at the total dose of 60 mg in unrelated donors and 30 mg in fully matched sibling donors and ciclosporin. Results One-year and five years OS were 87% and 79.9%, respectively, and median OS was not reached. The cumulative incidence of relapse was 16%. The incidence of acute GVHD was 48% (only grade I/II); no cases of grade III/IV were diagnosed. Chronic GVHD occurred in 39% of patients. TRM was 12%, with no cases developed within day 100 and 18 months after the procedure. Conclusions The outcomes of heavily pretreated lymphoma patients are favorable, with median OS and survival not reached after a median of 49 months. In conclusion, even if some lymphoma subgroups cannot be treated (yet) with advanced cellular therapies, this study confirms the role of allo-HSCT as a safe and curative strategy.

Abstract
One of the most widely accepted conditioning regimens for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is BEAM (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan). However, a recent increase in the cost of carmustine has limited its use bringing our institution to replace carmustine with bendamustine. This observational retrospective single-center study aims to report the efficacy and safety of the BeEAM regimen. 55 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (47%), Hodgkin lymphoma (25%), mantle cell lymphoma (25%), or follicular lymphoma (2%) were included. Progression-free survival (PFS) at 24 months was 75% and overall survival (OS) was 83%. Treatment-related mortality was 4%. The most common adverse effects were febrile neutropenia (98%), mucositis (72%) and colitis (60%). Our study demonstrated excellent efficacy of the BeEAM regimen. However, the toxicity profile of BeEAM significantly varies from one study to another, and guidelines suggesting optimal dose of bendamustine and supportive care are currently lacking.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chimeric Antigen Receptor ;(CAR) T cells therapies have become part of the standard of care for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The weakness of CAR-T therapies is that there are no comparative clinical trials, although many publications based on real-life data have confirmed the results obtained in pivotal studies. After several years of the commercialization of CAR-T, some points still need to be fully clarified. Healthcare professionals have questions about identifying patients who may benefit from therapy. There are aspects inherent in the accessibility of care related to improved relationships between CAR-T-delivering and referral centers. AREAS COVERED Open questions are inherent in the salvage and bridge therapy, predictive criteria for response and persistence of CAR-T after infusion. Managing toxicities remain a top priority and one of the points on which further knowledge is needed. EXPERT OPINION This review aims to describe the current landscape of CAR-T cells in DLBCL, outline their outcomes and toxicities, and explain the outstanding questions that remain to be addressed.

Abstract
Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy (CAR-T) has altered the treatment landscape for relapsed/refractory B cell malignancies and multiple myeloma, only a minority of patients attain long-term disease remission. The underlying reasons for CAR-T resistance are multifaceted and can be broadly divided into host-related, tumor-intrinsic, microenvironmental and macroenvironmental, and CAR-T-related factors. Emerging host-related determinants of response to CAR-T relate to gut microbiome composition, intact hematopoietic function, body composition, and physical reserve. Emerging tumor-intrinsic resistance mechanisms include complex genomic alterations and mutations to immunomodulatory genes. Furthermore, the extent of systemic inflammation prior to CAR-T is a potent biomarker of response and reflects a proinflammatory tumor micromilieu characterized by infiltration of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cell populations. The tumor and its surrounding micromilieu also can shape the response of the host to CAR-T infusion and the subsequent expansion and persistence of CAR T cells, a prerequisite for efficient eradication of tumor cells. Here, focusing on both large B cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma, we review resistance mechanisms, explore therapeutic avenues to overcome resistance to CAR-T, and discuss the management of patients who relapse after CAR-T.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) is an anti CD19 CAR-T therapy that has demonstrated clinical activity in R/R large B-cell lymphoma and R/R B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It showed particularly high efficacy in R/R follicular lymphoma (FL) with a manageable toxicity profile. The pivotal ELARA study in R/R FL confirmed these findings and led to the FDA approval of tisa-cel in R/R FL after two lines of systemic therapies. AREAS COVERED We start with an introduction of FL and the current treatment landscape with emphasis on the R/R setting. We review the role of CAR-T in R/R FL with focus on currently available products. We describe the ELARA study at a high level to give a perspective of the patient population that was treated. Finally, we discuss aspects related to product selection and whether bispecific antibodies will challenge the role of CAR-T in FL given their similar efficacy. EXPERT OPINION Tisa-cel is a highly effective therapy for heavily pretreated R/R FL with a toxicity profile that is low grade and manageable. Durable remissions (including high-risk patients) are seen in the pivotal ELARA study. Clinicians should consider early referral of R/R FL patients for assessment and discussion.

St Martin Y, Franz JK, Agha ME, Lazarus HM. Failure of CAR-T cell therapy in relapsed and refractory large cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma: An urgent unmet need. Blood Rev 2023; 60:101095. [PMID: 37173224 DOI: 10.1016/j.blre.2023.101095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Since its FDA approval, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is changing the landscape of the treatment algorithm for relapsed and refractory large cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma. While initially hailed as a game changer and received widely with great enthusiasm, the reality of treatment failure soon became a major disappointment. This situation left patients and clinicians alike wondering about the next treatment options. CAR-T cell therapy failure for aggressive lymphoma or multiple myeloma creates a very poor prognosis and the treatment options are very limited. New emerging data, however, show promise for the use of approaches that include bispecific antibodies and other strategies to rescue affected patients. In this review, we summarize the current emerging data on the treatment options for patients whose disease has relapsed or remains refractory after CAR-T cell therapy failure, an area of great unmet need.

Abstract
Several therapies to improve the management of lymphoma are currently being investigated, necessitating the development of new biomarkers. However, this requires high-quality and clinically annotated biological material. Therefore, we established a lymphoma biobank including all available biological material (tissue specimens and matched biological resources) along with associated clinical data for lymphoma patients diagnosed, according to the WHO classification, between 2005 and 2022 in the Laboratory of Clinical and Experimental Pathology, Nice, France. We retrospectively included selected cases in a new collection at the Côte d'Azur Biobank, which contains 2150 samples from 363 cases (351 patients). The male/female ratio was 1.3, and the median age at diagnosis was 58 years. The most common lymphoma types were classical Hodgkin lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and extra-nodal marginal zone lymphoma of MALT tissue. The main sites of lymphoma were the mediastinum, lymph node, Waldeyer's ring, and lung. The Côte d'Azur Biobank is ISO 9001 and ISO 20387 certified and aims to provide high quality and diverse biological material to support translational research projects into lymphoma. The clinico-pathological data generated by this collection should aid the development of new biomarkers to enhance the survival of patients with lymphoid malignancies.

Long-term effectiveness and safety of high dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation in daily practice in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. J Clin Exp Hematop 2023; 63:99-107. [PMID: 37121716 PMCID: PMC10410619 DOI: 10.3960/jslrt.23001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/02/2023] Open
Abstract
We retrospectively evaluated long-term outcomes of high dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (HDC/ASCT) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Between 2004 and 2020, 46 DLBCL patients received HDC/ASCT in our institution, including 12 patients (26.1%), who received as an upfront setting (UFS). At a median follow-up time of 69 months (range, 2-169 months), the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 82.5% (95%CI, 46.1-95.3%) in the UFS, and 57.8% (95%CI, 38.1-73.2%) in the relapsed or refractory (R/R) patients (n=34), respectively. The 5-year PFS rates were 62.3% (95%CI, 34.0-81.3%) in primary resistant (n=13) or early relapsing (within 1 year from the initial diagnosis) patients (n=4), and 53.3% (95%CI, 25.9-74.6%) in those relapsing >1 year after the initial diagnosis (n=17), with no statistically significant difference (p=0.498). In R/R patients, multivariate analysis showed that the remission status before HDC/ASCT was an independent poor prognostic factor for progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR], 17.0; 95%CI, 3.35-86.6; p=0.000630) and high-risk category in the international prognostic index for OS (HR, 9.39; 95%CI, 1.71-51.6; p=0.0100). The incidence of non-relapse mortality by 5 years, and 10 years were 12.2%, and 15.2%, respectively. Eleven patients (23.9%) developed second malignancies, which was the most frequent late complication after HDC/ASCT, with 5-year, and 10-year cumulative incidence of 16.9%, 22.5%, respectively. In conclusion, HDC/ASCT is effective for chemo-sensitive R/R DLBCL regardless of the timing and lines of therapy. However, careful observation is required, considering the long-term complications such as secondary malignancies.

Abstract
Purpose Autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is one of the most significant breakthroughs in hematological malignancies. However, a three-week manufacturing cycle and ineffective T cell dysfunction in some patients hinder the widespread application of auto-CAR T cell therapy. Studies suggest that cord blood (CB), with its unique biological properties, could be an optimal source for CAR T cells, providing a product with 'off-the-shelf' availability. Therefore, exploring the potential of CB as an immunotherapeutic agent is essential for understanding and promoting the further use of CAR T cell therapy. Experimental design We used CB to generate CB-derived CD19-targeting CAR T (CB CD19-CAR T) cells. We assessed the anti-tumor capacity of CB CD19-CAR T cells to kill diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in vitro and in vivo. Results CB CD19-CAR T cells showed the target-specific killing of CD19+ T cell lymphoma cell line BV173 and CD19+ DLBCL cell line SUDHL-4, activated various effector functions, and inhibited tumor progression in a mouse (BALB/c nude) model. However, some exhaustion-associated genes were involved in off-tumor cytotoxicity towards activated lymphocytes. Gene expression profiles confirmed increased chemokines/chemokine receptors and exhaustion genes in CB CD19-CAR T cells upon tumor stimulation compared to CB T cells. They indicated inherent changes in the associated signaling pathways in the constructed CB CAR T cells and targeted tumor processes. Conclusion CB CD19-CAR T cells represent a promising therapeutic strategy for treating DLBCL. The unique biological properties and high availability of CB CD19-CAR T cells make this approach feasible.

Abstract
Most patients receiving chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) for aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) do not experience a durable remission. Several novel agents are approved to treat relapsed, refractory aggressive B-NHL; however, it remains unclear how to sequence these therapies pre- and post-CAR-T. We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis to describe peri-CAR-T practice patterns and survival predictors for patients receiving CD19-directed CAR-T. Patients (n = 514) from 13 centers treated with CAR-T for B-NHL between 2015-2021 were included in the study. Survival curves were constructed using Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to determine the impact of the variables on survival outcomes. For all patients receiving CAR-T, a greater number of lines of therapy pre-CAR-T apheresis and bridging therapy were predictive of inferior progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The median PFS and OS from the time of CAR-T cell infusion were 7.6 and 25.6 months, respectively. From the time of progression post-CAR-T, the median OS was 5.5 months. The median PFS of treatments administered in the first-line post-CAR-T failure was 2.8 months. Patients with refractory disease on day 30 had inferior OS and were less likely to receive subsequent treatment(s) than other patients with CAR-T failure. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for selected patients at any time following CAR-T failure led to durable responses in over half of patients at 1 year. These data provide a benchmark for future clinical trials in patients with post-CAR-T cell progression, which remains an unmet clinical need.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have evolved as breakthrough treatment options for the management of hematological malignancies and are also being developed as therapeutics for solid tumors. However, despite the impressive patient responses from CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapies, ~ 40%-60% of these patients' cancers eventually relapse, with variable prognosis. Such relapses may occur due to a combination of molecular resistance mechanisms, including antigen loss or mutations, T-cell exhaustion, and progression of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. This class of therapeutics is also associated with certain unique toxicities, such as cytokine release syndrome, immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, and other "on-target, off-tumor" toxicities, as well as anaphylactic effects. Furthermore, manufacturing limitations and challenges associated with solid tumor infiltration have delayed extensive applications. The molecular imaging modalities of immunological positron emission tomography and single-photon emission computed tomography (immuno-PET/-SPECT) offer a target-specific and highly sensitive, quantitative, non-invasive platform for longitudinal detection of dynamic variations in target antigen expression in the body. Leveraging these imaging strategies as guidance tools for use with CAR T-cell therapies may enable the timely identification of resistance mechanisms and/or toxic events when they occur, permitting effective therapeutic interventions. In addition, the utilization of these approaches in tracking the CAR T-cell pharmacokinetics during product development and optimization may help to assess their efficacy and accordingly to predict treatment outcomes. In this review, we focus on current challenges and potential opportunities in the application of immuno-PET/-SPECT imaging strategies to address the challenges encountered with CAR T-cell therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cells are now standard of care (SOC) for some patients with B cell and plasma cell malignancies and could disrupt the therapeutic landscape of solid tumors. However, access to CAR-T cells is not adequate to meet clinical needs, in part due to high cost and long lead times for manufacturing clinical grade virus. Non-viral site directed CAR integration can be accomplished using CRISPR/Cas9 and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) or single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) via homology-directed repair (HDR), however yields with this approach have been limiting for clinical application (dsDNA) or access to large yields sufficient to meet the manufacturing demands outside early phase clinical trials is limited (ssDNA). METHODS We applied homology-independent targeted insertion (HITI) or HDR using CRISPR/Cas9 and nanoplasmid DNA to insert an anti-GD2 CAR into the T cell receptor alpha constant (TRAC) locus and compared both targeted insertion strategies in our system. Next, we optimized post-HITI CRISPR EnrichMENT (CEMENT) to seamlessly integrate it into a 14-day process and compared our knock-in with viral transduced anti-GD2 CAR-T cells. Finally, we explored the off-target genomic toxicity of our genomic engineering approach. RESULTS Here, we show that site directed CAR integration utilizing nanoplasmid DNA delivered via HITI provides high cell yields and highly functional cells. CEMENT enriched CAR T cells to approximately 80% purity, resulting in therapeutically relevant dose ranges of 5.5 × 108-3.6 × 109 CAR + T cells. CRISPR knock-in CAR-T cells were functionally comparable with viral transduced anti-GD2 CAR-T cells and did not show any evidence of off-target genomic toxicity. CONCLUSIONS Our work provides a novel platform to perform guided CAR insertion into primary human T-cells using nanoplasmid DNA and holds the potential to increase access to CAR-T cell therapies.

Abstract
Cancer is a grievous disease whose treatment requires a more efficient, non-invasive therapy, associated with minimal side effects. Gold nanoparticles possessing greatly impressive optical properties have been a forerunner in bioengineered cancer therapy. This theranostic system has gained immense popularity and finds its application in the field of molecular detection, biological imaging, cancer cell targeting, etc. The photothermal property of nanoparticles, especially of gold nanorods, causes absorption of the light incident by the light source, and transforms it into heat, resulting in tumor cell destruction. This review describes the different optical features of gold nanoparticles and summarizes the advance research done for the application of gold nanoparticles and precisely gold nanorods for combating various cancers including breast, lung, colon, oral, prostate, and pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells demonstrate remarkable success in treating hematological malignancies, but their effectiveness in non-hematopoietic cancers remains limited. This study proposes enhancing CAR T cell function and localization in solid tumors by modifying the epigenome governing tissue-residency adaptation and early memory differentiation. We identify that a key factor in human tissue-resident memory CAR T cell (CAR-TRM) formation is activation in the presence of the pleotropic cytokine, transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), which enforces a core program of both "stemness" and sustained tissue residency by mediating chromatin remodeling and concurrent transcriptional changes. This approach leads to a practical and clinically actionable in vitro production method for engineering peripheral blood T cells into a large number of "stem-like" CAR-TRM cells resistant to tumor-associated dysfunction, possessing an enhanced ability to accumulate in situ and rapidly eliminate cancer cells for more effective immunotherapy.

Abstract
Treating relapsed and refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is still challenging for clinicians, but the available CAR-T and bispecific antibodies have revolutionized therapy. Autologous stem cell transplantation was the most effective treatment modality previously. The authors reported data from a single center over ten years. The retrospective study included 116 patients, with 53 relapsed cases, 39 primary refractory cases, 19 who had CNS involvement, and 5 who had received primary consolidation transplants. The median duration of follow-up was 46 months. The median event-free survival was 75 months, and the median overall survival was 105 months for all cases. Five-year overall survival was 59%, and event-free survival was 54%. Pretreatment prognostic factors at diagnosis had no effect on the outcome of transplantation. The authors found no difference between survival in relapsed or refractory cases, and the number of salvage lines or the germinal center/activated B-cell type also did not influence the results. Complete metabolic response before transplantation confirmed by 18FDG PET/CT strongly affected survival. The pre-transplant creatinine and CRP levels significantly influenced the long-term outcome. The number of stem cells infused did not affect survival, but engraftment within nine days did result in a longer survival. These data support the finding that the response to salvage therapy did facilitate the identification of a better prognostic group who may still benefit from autologous transplantation.

Abstract
Adoptive cell therapy using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology is one of the most advanced engineering platforms for cancer immunotherapy. CAR-T cells have shown remarkable efficacy in the treatment of hematological malignancies. However, their limitations in solid tumors include an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), insufficient tumor infiltration, toxicity, and the absence of tumor-specific antigens. Although recent advances in CAR-T cell design-such as the incorporation of co-stimulatory domains and the development of armored CAR-T cells-have shown promising results in treating solid tumors, there are still challenges that need to be addressed. To overcome these limitations, other immune cells, such as natural killer (NK) cells and macrophages (M), have been developed as attractive options for efficient cancer immunotherapy of solid tumors. CAR-NK cells exhibit substantial clinical improvements with "off-the-shelf" availability and low toxicity. CAR-M cells have promising therapeutic potential because macrophages can infiltrate the TME of solid tumors. Here, we review the recent advances and future perspectives associated with engineered immune cell-based cancer immunotherapies for solid tumors. We also summarize ongoing clinical trials investigating the safety and efficacy of engineered immune cells, such as CAR-T, CAR-NK, and CAR-M, for targeting solid tumors.

Abstract
PURPOSE 60-70% of newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients avoid events within 24 months of diagnosis (EFS24) and the remainder have poor outcomes. Recent genetic and molecular classification of DLBCL has advanced our knowledge of disease biology, yet were not designed to predict early events and guide anticipatory selection of novel therapies. To address this unmet need, we used an integrative multiomic approach to identify a signature at diagnosis that will identify DLBCL at high risk of early clinical failure. PATIENTS AND METHODS Tumor biopsies from 444 newly diagnosed DLBCL were analyzed by WES and RNAseq. A combination of weighted gene correlation network analysis and differential gene expression analysis followed by integration with clinical and genomic data was used to identify a multiomic signature associated with high risk of early clinical failure. RESULTS Current DLBCL classifiers are unable to discriminate cases who fail EFS24. We identified a high risk RNA signature that had a hazard ratio (HR, 18.46 [95% CI 6.51-52.31] P < .001) in a univariate model, which did not attenuate after adjustment for age, IPI and COO (HR, 20.8 [95% CI, 7.14-61.09] P < .001). Further analysis revealed the signature was associated with metabolic reprogramming and a depleted immune microenvironment. Finally, WES data was integrated into the signature and we found that inclusion of ARID1A mutations resulted in identification of 45% of cases with an early clinical failure which was validated in external DLBCL cohorts. CONCLUSION This novel and integrative approach is the first to identify a signature at diagnosis that will identify DLBCL at high risk for early clinical failure and may have significant implications for design of therapeutic options.

Abstract
The distinct tumor microenvironment (TME) of prostate cancer (PCa), which promotes tumor proliferation and progression, consists of various stromal cells, immune cells, and a dense extracellular matrix (ECM). The understanding of the prostate TME extends to tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) and metastasis niches to provide a more concise comprehension of tumor metastasis. These constituents collectively structure the hallmarks of the pro-tumor TME, including immunosuppressive, acidic, and hypoxic niches, neuronal innervation, and metabolic rewiring. In combination with the knowledge of the tumor microenvironment and the advancement of emerging therapeutic technologies, several therapeutic strategies have been developed, and some of them have been tested in clinical trials. This review elaborates on PCa TME components, summarizes various TME-targeted therapies, and provides insights into PCa carcinogenesis, progression, and therapeutic strategies.

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.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is effective in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL) with response rates of 63-84% and complete response observed in 43-54%. Common germline variants of the target antigen CD19 may elicit different responses to CAR-T cell therapy. The CD19 gene single nucleotide polymorphism rs2904880 encoding leucine or valine at amino acid position 174 of the CD19 antigen was prevalent in 51% of the studied DLBCL patients. In a retrospective comparative analysis of clinical outcome, there were significant differences in CD19 L174 versus V174 carriers: the median time of progression-free survival was 22 vs. 6 months (p = 0.06), overall survival was 37 vs. 8 months (p = 0.11), complete response rates were 51% vs. 30% (p = 0.05), and refractory disease rates were 14% vs. 32% (p = 0.04). The single nucleotide polymorphism in CD19 was shown to influence the treatment outcome in FMC63-anti-CD19-CAR-T cell therapy, and the CD19 minor allele L174 predicted a favorable treatment outcome.

Abstract
CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells have revolutionized the treatment of lymphoid malignancies, including large B cell lymphoma (LBCL). Following seminal early phase multicenter clinical trials published between 2017 and 2020, three CD19-CAR T-cell products received FDA and EMA approval designations in lymphoma in the third-line setting, paving the way for follow-up studies in the second-line. Meanwhile, investigations into the applications of CAR T-cell therapy have further broadened to treating high-risk patients even prior to completion of first-line conventional chemo-immunotherapy. Furthermore, as early trials excluded patients with central nervous system involvement with lymphoma, several studies have recently shown promising efficacy of CD19-CAR T-cells in primary and secondary CNS lymphoma. Here we provide a detailed overview on clinical data supporting the use of CAR T-cells in patients with LBCL.

Abstract
Patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), ineligible for or relapsing after autologous stem-cell transplant or chimeric antigen-receptor T-cell therapies have poor outcomes. Several novel agents, polatuzumab vedotin, tafasitamab, loncastuximab tesirine, and selinexor, have been approved and offer new opportunities for this difficult to treat population. Studies are evaluating combination of these agents with chemotherapy and other emerging therapies. Additionally, advances in our understanding of DLBCL biology, genetics, and immune microenvironment have allowed for the identification of new therapeutic targets like Ikaros and Aiolos, IRAK4, MALT1, and CD47 with several agents in ongoing clinical trials. In this chapter we review updated data supporting the use of the approved agents and discuss other emerging novel therapies for patients with R/R DLBCL.

Abstract
Anthracycline-containing therapy is the cornerstone of frontline treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and autologous stem cell transplantation, and more recently, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy are the primary treatment options for relapsed refractory DLBCL. Given these therapies are all associated with cardiovascular toxicities, patients with underlying cardiac comorbidities are severely limited in treatment options. The focus of this review is to outline the cardiotoxicities associated with these standard treatments, explore strategies developed to mitigate these toxicities, and review novel treatment strategies for patients with underlying cardiovascular comorbidities. DLBCL patients with underlying cardiac complications are a high-risk patient population who require complicated management strategies that utilize a multidisciplinary approach with collaboration between cardiologists and oncologists.

Abstract
The past two decades have seen remarkable progress in both biological understanding and optimizing treatment of follicular lymphoma. Historically considered an incurable disease, long-term follow-up of several induction approaches demonstrates that up to 40% of patients enjoy remission durations of 10 or more years, and risk of dying of lymphoma continues to fall. This update will focus on progress in follicular lymphoma over the past 3 years, which has included refinements in staging and prognosis, novel immunotherapy treatment approaches for relapsed and refractory disease, and long-term follow-up of pivotal trials. Ongoing trials will define the optimal sequence for these novel treatments, including whether earlier incorporation of these approaches may result in definitive cure of this disease. Through ongoing and planned correlative studies, we are poised to ultimately achieve the goal of a precision management approach to follicular lymphoma.

Abstract
Bispecific antibodies have been successfully introduced into the management of relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphomas, including DLBCL. Phase 1 studies of the different CD3/CD20 bispecifics have shown manageable safety profile and promising activity in a range of B-cell lymphomas, and recent phase 2 studies confirm the favourable safety and show frequent and durable complete responses even in heavily pre-treated and high-risk patients. This paper discusses the future potential role of these new agents as single agents and in combinations, and their position in the current and future treatment landscape, also in relation to chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy.

Abstract
Renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Though newer therapeutic combinations of immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapies have greatly improved outcomes, resistance to these therapies is becoming a challenge for long-term control. Mechanisms of resistance have been explored in a variety of solid tumors, including RCC. Based upon our review of the current literature on the mechanisms of resistance to immunotherapies for the management of metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinomas (mccRCC), the ensuing conclusions have been made: The management of mccRCC has progressed substantially with the advent of checkpoint inhibitors and targeted oral therapies, alone and/or in combination. Nevertheless, innate or developed resistance to these therapies remains an ongoing challenge, particularly to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Several of the known mechanisms of resistance have been well defined, but recent progression in cellular therapies helps to expand the armamentarium of potential combination options that may overcome these modes of resistance and improve long-term disease control and survival for an otherwise dismal disease. In the ensuing review and update of the literature on the mechanisms of resistance to immunotherapies in mccRCC, we have revisited the known resistance mechanisms of immunotherapies in metastatic clear-cell RCC and explored ongoing and future strategies to overcome them.

Abstract
Acute Myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically heterogeneous disease with a 5-year overall survival of 32% between 2012 to 2018. The above number severely dwindles with age and adverse risk of disease, presenting opportunities for new drug development and is an area of dire unmet need. Basic science and clinical investigators across the world have been working on many new and old molecule formulations and combination strategies to improve outcomes in this disease. In this review, we discuss select promising novel agents in various stages of clinical development for patients with AML.

Abstract
Histologic transformation (HT) to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma occurs rarely in Waldenström macroglobulinemia, with higher incidence in MYD88 wild-type patients. HT is suspected clinically when rapidly enlarging lymph nodes, elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels, or extranodal disease occur. Histologic assessment is required for diagnosis. HT carries a worse prognosis compared with nontransformed Waldenström macroglobulinemia. A validated prognostic score based on three adverse risk factors stratifies three risk groups. The most common frontline treatment is chemoimmunotherapy, such as R-CHOP. Central nervous system prophylaxis should be considered if feasible and consolidation with autologous transplant should be discussed in fit patients responding to chemoimmunotherapy.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is among the most fatal and recurring malignant solid tumors. It arises from the GBM stem cell population. Conventional neurosurgical resection, temozolomide (TMZ)-dependent chemotherapy and radiotherapy have rendered the prognosis of patients unsatisfactory. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can frequently induce non-specific damage to healthy brain and other tissues, which can be extremely hazardous. There is therefore a pressing need for a more effective treatment strategy for GBM to complement or replace existing treatment options. Cell-based and cell-free immunotherapies are currently being investigated to develop new treatment modalities against cancer. These treatments have the potential to be both selective and successful in minimizing off-target collateral harm in the normal brain. In this review, several aspects of cell-based and cell-free immunotherapies related to GBM will be discussed.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of axicabtagene ciloleucel as a second-line treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in China and the United States. Ther Adv Hematol 2023; 14:20406207231168215. [PMID: 37250912 PMCID: PMC10214081 DOI: 10.1177/20406207231168215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Axicabtagene ciloleucel (Axi-cel) is the first Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Immunotherapy (CAR-T) product approved in China for treating adult patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after receiving second-line or above systemic therapy. However, it cannot be widely used in clinical practice due to its high price. Objectives To evaluate the economic value of Axi-cel fully in countries at different stages of economic development, this article, from the perspective of the medical and health system in China and the United States, evaluated the cost-effectiveness of Axi-cel in the second-line treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Design Cost effectiveness analysis of Axi-cel in the treatment of relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). Methods Based on the clinical trial data of ZUMA-7, a short-term decision tree and a long-term semi-Markov partitioned survival model were constructed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the two strategies. This model was cycled for 40 years in 1-month cycles. In this article, only direct medical costs were considered. One-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were conducted to assess the robustness of the base-case results. Results In the baseline cost-effectiveness analysis, Axi-cel was associated with more quality-adjusted life year (QALY; 2.72 versus 1.46) and greater costs overall ($180,501.55 versus $123,221.34) than standard second-line chemotherapy in China. Moreover, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of the Axi-cel group was $45,726.66/QALY, which was greater than the threshold of $37,654.5. To achieve cost-effectiveness, the price of Axi-cel must be reduced appropriately. In the United States, Axi-cel was associated with more QALYs (2.63 versus 1.74) and greater costs overall ($415,915.16 versus $289,564.34). The ICER for the Axi-cel was $142,326.94/QALY, below the set threshold of $150,000. Conclusion Axi-cel is not a cost-effective option as second-line therapy for treating DLBCL in China. However, In the United States, Axi-cel has shown a cost-effectiveness advantage as a second-line treatment for DLBCL.

Survival outcomes for patients with relapsed/refractory aggressive B cell lymphomas following receipt of high dose chemotherapy/autologous stem transplantation and/or chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells. Transplant Cell Ther 2023:S2666-6367(23)01294-0. [PMID: 37211154 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2023.05.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients diagnosed with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B cell and high grade B cell lymphomas (DLBCL/HGBL) may achieve prolonged survival following receipt of high dose chemotherapy/autologous stem cell transplantation (HDC/ASCT) or CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells (CART19). While early results from randomized clinical trials suggest that assignment to CART19 versus salvage immunochemotherapy as second-line therapy results in improved survival, analysis of a large series of patients who actually received HDC/ASCT or CART19 has yet to be performed, and may inform future research efforts to optimize risk-stratification of R/R DLBCL/HGBL patients who are candidates for either therapy. OBJECTIVE To understand clinicopathologic factors which predict for freedom from treatment failure (FFTF) for R/R DLBCL/HGBL patients following receipt of HDC/ASCT or CART19, and compare patterns of TF for R/R DLBCL/HGBL patients receiving either HDC/ASCT or CART19. STUDY DESIGN Patients age ≤75 with R/R DLBCL/HGBL who received HDC/ASCT demonstrating partial or complete metabolic response to salvage immunochemotherapy and/or CART19 in the standard-of-care setting at the University of Pennsylvania from 2013-21 were included. Survival analyses were performed from the time of infusion of either HDC/ASCT or CART19 as well landmark time points post-infusion for patients who achieved FFTF. RESULTS For 100 HDC/ASCT patients with median length of follow-up of 62.7 months, the estimated rate of 36 month FFTF and overall survival were 59% and 81%, respectively. For 109 CART19 patients with median length of follow-up of 37.6 months, the estimated rate of 36 month FFTF and overall survival were 24% and 48%, respectively. HDC/ASCT patients achieved significantly higher rates of estimated 36 month FFTF if achieving actual FFTF at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months. Additionally, the incidence of baseline characteristics that predicted for TF at 36 months for either HDC/ASCT or CART19 patients was either similar or significantly lower at for CART19 as compared to HDC/ASCT patients who achieved actual FFTF at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months. CONCLUSION Patients with R/R DLBCL/HGBL achieving response to salvage immunochemotherapy who receive HDC/ASCT experience a high rate of estimated FFTF regardless of harboring features predictive of resistance to salvage immunochemotherapy, which may be more durable than that of R/R DLBCL/HGBL patients receiving CART19. These findings support further investigation of disease characteristics, such as molecular features, which may predict response to salvage immunochemotherapy in patients fit for HDC/ASCT.

Abstract
Combined modality has represented a mainstay of treatment across many lymphoma histologies, given their sensitivity to both multi-agent chemotherapy and intermediate-dose radiotherapy. More recently, several new agents, including immunotherapies, have reshaped the therapeutic panorama of some lymphomas. In parallel, radiotherapy techniques have witnessed substantial improvement, accompanied by a growing understanding that radiation itself comes with an immune-mediated effect. Six decades after a metastatic lesion regression outside the irradiated field was first described, there is increasing evidence that a combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy could boost an abscopal effect. This review focuses on the mechanisms underlying this interaction in the setting of lymphomas, and on the results of pivotal prospective studies. Furthermore, the available evidence on the concomitant use of radiotherapy and small molecules (i.e., lenalidomide, venetoclax, and ibrutinib), as well as brentuximab vedotin, and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, is summarized. Currently, combining radiotherapy with new agents in patients who are affected by lymphomas appears feasible, particularly as a bridge to anti-CD19 autologous CAR T-cell infusion. However, more studies are required to assess these combinations, and preliminary data suggest only a synergistic rather than a curative effect.
