Abstract
Progress in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has led to significant improvement in outcomes of patients even in the real world (RW) setting albeit to a lesser degree. In parallel to the demonstration of benefit using combination therapy with rituximab plus high-dose cytarabine (R-AraC) as well as dose intensive therapy-autologous stem cell transplantation (DIT-ASCT) consolidation and maintenance, it became clear over the last 2 decades that MCL is a highly heterogenous disease at the molecular level, explaining differences observed in clinical behavior and response to therapy. While clinical prognostic factors and models have helped stratify patients with distinct outcomes, they failed to help guide therapy. The identification of molecular high-risk (HR) features, in particular, but not only, p53 aberrations (including mutations and deletions [del]), as well as complex karyotype (CK), has allowed to identify subsets of patients with poorer outcomes (median overall survival [OS] <2 years) regardless of conventional therapies used. The constant pattern of relapse seen in MCL has fueled sustained and productive efforts, with 7 novel agents approved in the United States (US), showing high and durable efficacy even in HR and chemo-refractory patients and likely curing a subset of patients in the relapsed or refractory (R/R) setting. Progress in diagnostics, in particular next-generation sequencing (NGS), which is accessible in routine practice nowadays, can help recognize patients with HR features, well beyond MIPI or Ki-67 prognostication, although the impact on decision making is still unclear. The era of integrating novel agents into our prior standard of care (SOC) has begun with a confirmed benefit, for example, ibrutinib (Ib) in the TRIANGLE study, defining the first new potential SOC in younger patients in over 30 years. Expanding on novel agents, either in combination, sequentially or to replace chemotherapy altogether, using biological doublets or triplets has led to a median progression-free survival (PFS) in excess of 72 months, certainly competitive with prior SOC and will continue to reshape the management of MCL patients. Achieving minimal residual disease negative (MRD-ve) status is becoming a new endpoint in MCL, and customizing maintenance and/or de-escalation/consolidation strategies is within reach, although it will require prospective, built-in MRD-based approaches, with the goal of eliminating subclinical disease and not simply delaying time to relapse. Taking into account the biological diversity of MCL is now feasible in routine clinical practice and has already helped recognize what not to do for HR patients (i.e., avoid intensive induction chemotherapy and/or ASCT for p53 mutated patients) as well as identify promising novel options. Ongoing and future work will help expand on these dedicated approaches, to further improve the management and outcomes of all MCL patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The success of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for treating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is limited by its high relapse rates. To reduce the risk of relapse, additional maintenance therapy can be added post-transplant. In a non-transplant setting at the time of initiation of this study, both bortezomib and vorinostat had been studied alone or in combination for some NHL histology and showed some clinical activity. At our center, this combination therapy post-transplant for multiple myeloma showed acceptable toxicity. Therefore, it seemed reasonable to study this combination therapy post-ASCT for NHL. METHODS NHL patients underwent conditioning for ASCT with rituximab, carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan/carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan. After recovery from the acute transplant-related toxicity, combination therapy with IV bortezomib and oral vorinostat (BV) was started and was given for a total of 12 (28-day) cycles. RESULTS Nineteen patients received BV post-ASCT. The most common toxicities were hematologic, gastrointestinal, metabolic, fatigue, and peripheral neuropathy. With a median follow-up of 10.3 years, 11 patients (58%) are alive without disease progression and 12 patients (63%) are alive. CONCLUSIONS BV can be given post-ASCT for NHL and produces excellent disease-free and overall survival rates.

Abstract
The prognostic relevance of diagnosis to treatment interval (DTI) in patients with newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is unknown. Hence, we sought to evaluate the impact of DTI on outcomes in MCL using 3 large datasets (1) the University of Iowa/Mayo Clinic Specialized Program of Research Excellence Molecular Epidemiology Resource, (2) patients enrolled in the ALL Age Asthma Cohort/CALGB 50403, and (3) a multisitecohort of patients with MCL. Patients were a priori divided into 2 groups, 0 to 14 days (short DTI) and 15 to 60 days (long DTI). The patients in whom observation was deemed appropriate were excluded. One thousand ninety-seven patients newly diagnosed with MCL and available DTI were included in the study. The majority (73%) had long DTI (n=797). Patients with short DTI had worse eastern cooperative oncology group performance status (ECOG PS ≥2), higher lactate dehydrogenase, bone marrow involvement, more frequent B symptoms, higher MCL International Prognostic Index (MIPI ≥6.2), and were less likely to receive intensive induction therapy than long DTI group. The median progression-free survival (2.5 years vs 4.8 years, p<0.0001) and overall survival (7.8 years vs. 11.8 years, p<0.0001) were significantly inferior in the short DTI group than the long DTI cohort and remained significant for progression-free survival and overall survival in multivariable analysis. We show that the DTI is an important prognostic factor in patients newly diagnosed with MCL and is strongly associated with adverse clinical factors and poor outcomes. DTI should be reported in all the patients newly diagnosed with MCL who are enrolling in clinical trials and steps must be taken to ensure selection bias is avoided.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15072091. [PMID: 37046753 PMCID: PMC10093600 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15072091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: First-line therapy in fit MCL patients may comprise high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous transplantation to consolidate remission before maintenance treatment. However, optimization of HDCT is an unmet clinical need given the substantial relapse rate of first-line treatment, while the use of bortezomib is a promising candidate to be added to standard HDCT. (2) Methods: We analyzed 11 consecutive patients with MCL who received bortezomib added to standard BeEAM (2BeEAM) HDCT at a single academic institution. We assessed safety, feasibility, toxicities, and survival rates. (3) Results: All patients had stage III or IV disease. We found that six patients (55%) developed new or worsening of preexisting peripheral neuropathy following administration of 2BeEAM HDCT. One patient relapsed within the first six months after HDCT, whereas three patients never reached complete remission. After a median follow-up of 22 months, the PFS was 64% and the OS 64% at the last follow-up assessment. At this time, 55% of patients were in CR. (4) Conclusions: The use of bortezomib added to standard BeEAM HDCT is associated with relevant toxicities, particularly with regards to additional neuropathy. Moreover, the anti-lymphoma efficacy of 2BeEAM HDCT appears to be modest; therefore, other therapeutic options should be evaluated for consolidation in this patient group.

Abstract
The Oncology Grand Rounds series is designed to place original reports published in the Journal into clinical context. A case presentation is followed by a description of diagnostic and management challenges, a review of the relevant literature, and a summary of the authors' suggested management approaches. The goal of this series is to help readers better understand how to apply the results of key studies, including those published in Journal of Clinical Oncology, to patients seen in their own clinical practice.A large number of frontline treatment options exist for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), making selection of therapy a challenge for the clinician. In this Oncology Grand Rounds article, the case of a 73-year-old woman with MCL who attained remission with bendamustine and rituximab is presented. The relevant literature regarding frontline therapy is then reviewed, with particular focus on selection of induction regimen and the potential roles for autologous transplantation and/or rituximab maintenance. This literature primarily consists of prospective phase 2 and phase 3 clinical trials; however, added to this literature now is a growing body of large retrospective real-world cohorts, such as the new analysis by Martin et al,35 the manuscript that accompanies this Oncology Grand Rounds article. In some cases, the real-world evidence is at odds with data from prospective clinical trials, such as regarding the role of rituximab maintenance after bendamustine plus rituximab induction. These important new real-world data are put into context of an ever-changing treatment landscape, in hopes of aiding clinicians in frontline treatment selection for patients with MCL.

Abstract
Bortezomib (BTZ) is a first-in-class reversible and selective proteasome inhibitor. It inhibits the ubiquitin proteasome pathway that leads to the degradation of many intracellular proteins. Initially, BTZ was FDA approved for the treatment of refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma (MM) in 2003. Later, its usage was approved for patients with previously untreated MM. In 2006, BTZ was approved for the treatment of relapsed or refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) and, in 2014, for previously untreated MCL. BTZ has been extensively studied either alone or in combination with other drugs for the treatment of different liquid tumors especially in MM. However, limited data evaluated the efficacy and safety of using BTZ in patients with solid tumors. In this review, we will discuss the advanced and novel mechanisms of action of BTZ documented in MM, solid tumors and liquid tumors. Moreover, we will shed the light on the newly discovered pharmacological effects of BTZ in other prevalent diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Induction chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a standard first-line treatment for fit patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). We conducted a single-center phase I trial investigating post-transplant maintenance with ixazomib, an oral proteasome inhibitor. METHODS Patients enrolled between days +70 and +180 post ASCT. Patients received ixazomib per dose cohort on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle for up to 10 cycles. During recruitment, published phase III data reported a survival benefit with rituximab maintenance, so all subsequent patients received ixazomib 4 mg at the same schedule along with rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day 1 of cycles 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. All patients were in complete remission at enrollment. RESULTS Seven patients received ixazomib monotherapy; 1 dose limiting toxicity (grade 3 neutropenia) occurred at dose level 2 (4 mg). Five patients received combination Ixazomib plus rituximab, with 2 experiencing DLTs (both Grade 4 neutropenia). Grade 3-4 neutropenia, lymphopenia, and thrombocytopenia occurred in 57%, 8%, and 8% of patients, respectively. Non-hematologic adverse events (AE) included nausea (42%), peripheral neuropathy (42%), and abdominal discomfort (33%), all of which were grade 1 or 2 in severity. There were no infectious AEs. With a median follow up of 46 months, all patients are alive and in complete remission. CONCLUSION The trial was closed to further accrual due to high rates of treatment-related myelosuppression. The current dose and schedule of ixazomib, especially when combined with rituximab, results in unacceptable hematologic toxicity when administered as post-transplant maintenance in MCL. Ixazomib maintenance micro abstract: The authors conducted a phase I study investigating the use of ixazomib, an oral proteasome inhibitor, with or without rituximab in patients with mantle cell lymphoma in first remission following chemoimmunotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. All patients treated on study remain in complete remission with a median follow-up of 46 months, but the study was closed early due to a high rate of hematologic adverse events.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a morphologically and phenotypically heterogeneous subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and has historically been associated with poor outcomes. However, recent advances in our understanding of this disease have yielded new targeted and immune-based therapies with promising activity. Immune-based therapies such as monoclonal antibodies, immunomodulators, and CAR T cells have significantly improved outcomes and are now standard of care in MCL. In this review, we describe our current understanding of the immune microenvironment of MCL, discuss current immunotherapeutic approaches, and highlight promising novel immune-based therapies and combination therapies that may further improve outcomes for patients with MCL.

Abstract
Background In the era of immunotherapy, autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in first-line therapy in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has been a controversial topic. This report aimed to explore the association between ASCT and MCL survival through a systematic review with meta-analysis. Methods We performed a systematic search of original articles published from inception to September 2021 using PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. Results We included studies that compared ASCT with non-ASCT consolidation in newly diagnosed transplant-eligible MCL. The endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). There were seven eligible studies (one randomized clinical trial, one prospective cohort study, and five observational studies) published between 2012 and 2021, in which the total number of participants was 3,271. In the non-intensive induction subgroup, patients with ASCT experienced a significant PFS but no OS benefit compared with those without ASCT. In the intensive induction subgroup, the PFS benefit from ASCT still existed but largely attenuated; no OS benefit was observed though only one study was suitable for evaluation. When compared to the rituximab maintenance arm, ASCT had a worse PFS and OS. Conclusions In the rituximab plus HiDAC era, the benefit of ASCT as a component of first-line treatment has been weakened. First-line maintenance strategy instead of ASCT seems worth exploring .

Circulating Tumor DNA Predicts Therapeutic Outcome in Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Blood Adv 2022; 6:2667-2680.

Abstract
Early changes in ctDNA dynamics are prognostic in untreated MCL. Bortezomib maintenance after bortezomib-based induction therapy does not improve outcome in untreated MCL.
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is biologically and clinically heterogeneous and would benefit from prognostic biomarkers to guide management. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a novel prognostic biomarker in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that may have applicability in MCL. We analyzed ctDNA dynamics in previously untreated patients with MCL who received induction therapy with bortezomib and DA-EPOCH-R for 6 cycles followed by random assignment to observation or bortezomib maintenance in responding patients in a prospective phase 2 study. Most patients also underwent initial treatment window of bortezomib alone prior to induction. Serum was collected pretreatment, after the window, after cycles 1 and 2, at the end of induction, and at each follow-up visit along with restaging computed tomography scans. Next-generation sequencing was used to identify and quantify ctDNA encoding the immunoglobulin receptor sequences in serum as markers of minimal residual disease. Fifty-three patients were enrolled, with a median follow-up of 12.7 years. Patients without detectable ctDNA after 2 cycles of induction had longer progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared with those with detectable ctDNA (median PFS, 2.7 vs 1.8 years; overall P = .005; median OS, 13.8 vs 7.4 years; overall P = .03). Notably, in vivo assessment of ctDNA dynamics during the bortezomib window was not prognostic, and there was no difference in PFS or OS with bortezomib maintenance. ctDNA monitoring after induction showed that molecular relapse preceded clinical relapse in some cases. In conclusion, interim ctDNA negativity strongly correlates with improved survival and supports the investigation of response-adapted strategies. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00114738.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT There is no standard approach to sequencing novel therapies in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). For initial treatment, intensive induction chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant and rituximab maintenance remains our preferred approach in young, fit patients. We consider bendamustine plus rituximab or lenalidomide plus rituximab in patients who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy-based approaches. Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors are our preferred class of agents to use in the second-line setting. When patients inevitably relapse on one of these agents, we proceed with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T) therapy in eligible patients, often with the use of bridging therapy with corticosteroids, lenalidomide, or venetoclax. We treat patients who are ineligible for CAR T or clinic trial with venetoclax, lenalidomide, or proteosome inhibitor-based regimens, although efficacy is expected to be limited in this setting with a shortened duration of response to each subsequent line of therapy. Allogeneic stem cell transplant remains an option for carefully selected patients who progress after autologous stem cell transplant and CAR T. Clinical trials involving combinations of novel agents in early lines of therapy are ongoing, and new compounds with unique mechanisms of action are in development. The results of ongoing clinical trials with novel agents will further change the treatment landscape for patients with MCL in the coming years.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a highly heterogeneous malignant plasma cell disease. Proteasome inhibitors (PIs) are the first line of medicine for MM. Bortezomib, ixazomib, and carfilzomib are also widely used for MM. Marizomib, oprozomib, and KZR-616 are in clinical trials. However, the drug resistance of PIs in MM is still a problem. The mechanisms for PIs resistance to MM include ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, autophagy lysosome pathway, endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway, cell survival signal pathway, exosome-mediated resistance, and bone marrow microenvironment-mediated resistance.

Abstract
Introduction: Over the past two decades, deeper understanding of B-cell signaling pathways and other mechanisms of lymphomagenesis have yielded promising targets for novel drugs in the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.Areas covered: This article provides a comprehensive review of approved synthetic drugs targeting the BTK, PI3K, immunomodulation, proteasome, HDAC, EZH2, and nuclear export pathways in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The review includes coverage of the pharmacology, efficacy, toxicity, and active areas of research for each drug. The authors also provide their expert perspectives on the field and their opinions for the future.Expert opinion: Although novel synthetic drugs have generally not impacted clinical practice to the same extent as immune and cellular therapies, there remains an important role for targeted drugs in the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, particularly in the relapsed setting and for patients ineligible for more intensive therapies. Clinical outcomes and tolerability may improve further with the development of newer generations of synthetic drugs and emerging combination regimens with other targeted and immune therapies.

Abstract
Preclinical and clinical investigation on proteasome as a druggable target in cancer has led to the development of proteasome inhibitors (PIs) with different pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties. For example, carfilzomib has a better safety profile and a lower risk of clinically relevant drug-drug interactions than bortezomib, whereas ixazomib can be orally administered on a weekly basis due to a very long elimination half-life and high systemic exposure. The purpose of this review article is to elucidate the quantitative and qualitative differences in potency, selectivity, pharmacokinetics, safety and drug-drug interactions of clinically validated PIs to provide useful information for their clinical use in real life setting.

Abstract
Background: Minimal residual disease (MRD) has shown the prognostic value in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). To quantify the relationships between progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) with MRD status in MCL, we conducted this meta-analysis. Methods: We searched databases including Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library up to July 15th, 2020. Data of patients' characteristics, MRD assessment and survival outcomes were extracted and analyzed. Results: Ten articles were included. For the impact of post-induction MRD status on survival outcomes, MRD positive status was associated with worse PFS (HR=1.44; 95%CI 1.27-1.62; P<0.00001) and OS (HR=1.30; 95%CI 1.03-1.64; P=0.03) compared with MRD negative status. Regarding the impact of post-consolidation MRD status on survival outcomes, MRD positivity predicted shorter PFS (HR=1.84; 95%CI 1.49-2.26; P<0.00001) and OS (HR=2.38; 95%CI 1.85-3.06; P<0.00001) than MRD negativity. Conclusions: This study indicated that MRD positivity after induction and consolidation treatments was associated with worse PFS and OS for MCL. MRD-based treatment strategies should be further explored in clinical trials and real-world practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Conventional treatment for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients includes regimens combining rituximab with other cytotoxic drugs, followed or not by consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation and rituximab maintenance. However, older, unfit, and relapsed/refractory patients are often ineligible for intense treatment. Currently, available new targeted treatment options seem to offer hope in this group of patients. AREAS COVERED This article reviews the safety profiles of new therapeutic chemotherapy-free options for MCL patients. Publications in English from 2010 through June 2020 were surveyed on the MEDLINE database for articles. Proceedings of the American Society of Hematology during the last 5 years were also included. EXPERT OPINION MCL is a clinically heterogenous disease predominantly affecting elderly patients. Its variable clinical course requires personalization and individualization of treatment to achieve optimal survival and acceptable safety profiles, especially in poor prognosis patients. Results of clinical trials performed in the past decade indicated that novel drugs used as a single agent or as part of a conventional chemotherapeutic treatment offer promise in minimalizing the relapse rate for MCL and may allow more effective and safer treatment options by reducing the risk of adverse events, especially cytopenias and infections.
