Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The disease generally occurs in older patients. Although at a lower prevalence, the disease also occurs in the adolescent and young adult group (AYA). There is paucity of data in the literature on racial and ethnic disparities in the incidence and survival outcomes of DLBCL in the AYA group. The objective of our study is to demonstrate the disparities in these outcomes. Utilizing SEER, we obtained data on patient demographics, incidence, and survival from 2000 to 2020. We observed statistically significant reduced incidence of DLBCL in all racial groups, except the non-Hispanic Asian and Pacific Islander group (NHAPI). The non-Hispanic Black group (NHB) had one of the lowest survival despite showing the largest decrease in incidence in DLBCL. The differences in the survival could be secondary to socioeconomic factors, however other reasons need to be explored. The increased incidence among the NHAPI group mirrors that of large population-based studies in East Asian countries, however, underlying reasons have not been elucidated.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is still a potentially curative option for B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (B-NHL) in the modern immunotherapy era. The objective of this study was to analyze long-term outcomes of patients with B-NHL who received allo-HSCT. We analyzed overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and graft versus host disease (GVHD) relapse-free survival (GRFS) in 53 patients undergoing allo-HSCT from two institutions. The median follow-up of the study was 72 months (range 29-115 months). The median number of lines of therapy before allo-HSCT was 3 (range 1-6) and twenty-eight patients (53%) had received a previous autologous transplant. The 3-year PFS, OS and GRFS were 55%, 63%, and 55%, respectively. One-year non-relapse mortality was 26%. Karnofsky Performance Scale < 90 was associated with worse OS in multivariable analysis. A non-comparative analysis of a cohort of 44 patients with similar characteristics who received chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy was done, showing a 1-year PFS and OS were 60% and 66%, respectively. Our data shows that allo-HSCT is still a useful option for treating selected patients with R/R B-NHL. Our retrospective analysis and review of the literature demonstrate that allo-HSCT can provide durable remissions in a subset of patients with R/R B-NHL.

Abstract
To clarify the role of allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in the chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy era, we analyzed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of 52 patients treated with allo-HSCT with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Most enrolled patients had previously undergone intensive treatments, the median number of chemotherapy lines was 4, and the median time from diagnosis to allo-HSCT was 27.1 months. Patients were divided into remission-achieved (n = 30) and active-disease (n = 22) groups before allo-HSCT. Over a median follow-up period of 38.3 months, overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) rates were 38.4% and 30.6%, respectively. The cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) and the non-relapsed mortality (NRM) were 36.7% and 32.7%, respectively. OS, EFS, and graft-versus-host disease-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) outcomes were significantly superior in the remission-achieved group with lower CIR. In a multivariate analysis, a shorter interval from diagnosis to allo-HSCT reflected relatively rapid disease progression and showed significantly poor OS and EFS with higher CIR. Patients with active disease had significantly lower EFS, GRFS, and higher CIR. Previous autologous stem-cell transplantation was associated with better GRFS. Allo-HSCT is an established modality with a prominent group of cured patients and still has a role in the CAR T-cell era, particularly given its acceptable clinical outcomes in young patients with chemo-susceptible disease.

Abstract
Aim: To investigate real-world chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy treatment patterns. Patient & methods: Relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma patients who received CAR T-cell therapy were identified. Patient characteristics, setting of CAR T-cell infusion, incidence of CAR T-cell therapy-associated adverse events and healthcare resource utilization were assessed. Results: Of 1175 patients, 83% were infused inpatient. Within three days postinfusion, inpatient-infused patients had a significantly higher risk of CAR T-associated adverse events (hazard ratio: 2.67; 95% CI: 2.09-3.42) compared with outpatient-infused patients. By day 30, 67% of outpatient-infused patients were hospitalized at least once. Conclusion: These findings suggest that physicians were able to select lower-risk patients for outpatient infusion, but postinfusion hospitalizations still occur.

Viral Agents as Potential Drivers of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Tumorigenesis. Viruses 2022; 14:v14102105.

Abstract
Among numerous causative agents recognized as oncogenic drivers, 13% of total cancer cases occur as a result of viral infections. The intricacy and diversity of carcinogenic processes, however, raise significant concerns about the mechanistic function of viruses in cancer. All tumor-associated viruses have been shown to encode viral oncogenes with a potential for cell transformation and the development of malignancies, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Given the difficulties in identifying single mechanistic explanations, it is necessary to combine ideas from systems biology and viral evolution to comprehend the processes driving viral cancer. The potential for more efficient and acceptable therapies lies in targeted medicines that aim at viral proteins or trigger immune responses to either avoid infection or eliminate infected or cancerous cells. In this review, we aim to describe the role of viral infections and their mechanistic approaches in DLBCL tumorigenesis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review summarizing the oncogenic potential of numerous viral agents in DLBCL development.

Abstract
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive malignancy that has been traditionally treated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy, but approximately one-third of patients relapse after first-line therapy or have primary refractoriness. In this focused review, we discuss the 7 novel Food & Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications for relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL. We describe 5 CD19-targeted therapies, 3 of which are chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies. We also highlight novel non-cell-based targeted therapies and discuss optimal sequencing considerations based on the goal of treatment, with an emphasis on CAR-T cell therapy as curative intent. We consider the limited tolerability of certain novel agents, prospects for elderly patients, and financial aspects of these approaches. We discuss advantages and limitations of these targeted therapies based on seminal clinical trials. Finally, we summarize ongoing trials involving promising agents making their way into the pharmacologic pipeline. These therapies include allogeneic CAR-T treatments and multi-antigen targeting therapies such as the CD19/CD22 CAR-T and the CD3/CD20 bispecific antibodies mosunetuzumab and odronextamab. We summarize our approach based on the best available evidence as we enter 2022.

Abstract
Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is a safe and active treatment available for non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs). In particular, two monoclonal antibodies raised against CD20, that is Zevalin (90Y-ibritumomab-tiuxetan) and Bexxar (131I-tositumomab) received FDA approval for the treatment of relapsing/refractory indolent or transformed NHLs. RIT is likely the most effective and least toxic anticancer agent in NHLs. However, its use in the clinical setting is still debated and, in case of relapse after optimized rituximab-containing regimens, the efficacy of RIT at standard dosage is suboptimal. Thus, clinical trials were based on the hypothesis that the inclusion of RIT in myeloablative conditioning would allow to obtain improved efficacy and toxicity profiles when compared to myeloablative total-body irradiation and/or high-dose chemotherapy regimens. Standard-activity RIT has a safe toxicity profile, and the utility of pretherapeutic dosimetry in this setting can be disputed. In contrast, dose-escalation clinical protocols require the assessment of radiopharmaceutical biodistribution and dosimetry before the therapeutic injection, as dose constrains for critical organs may be exceeded when RIT is administered at high activities. The aim of the present study was to review and discuss the internal dosimetry protocols that were adopted for non-standard RIT administration in the myeloablative setting before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with NHLs.

Abstract
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivations are common complications after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), but data focusing on non–Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are limited. We retrospectively analyzed the prevalence of EBV and CMV reactivation post-allo-HCT and the impacts on transplant outcomes in 160 NHL patients. The 1-year incidences of EBV and CMV reactivation were 22.58% and 25.55%, respectively. Independent impactors for EBV reactivation were more than 6 lines of chemotherapy (P = 0.030), use of rituximab (P = 0.004), and neutrophil recovery within 30 days post-HCT (P = 0.022). For T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma patients, the International Prognostic Index (IPI) (P = 0.015) and chronic GVHD (P = 0.001) increased the risk of CMV reactivation. CMV reactivation was independently related to a lower risk of relapse (P = 0.027) but higher transplant-related mortality (TRM) (P = 0.038). Although viral reactivation had no significant impact on overall survival (OS) in the whole cohort, it led to an inferior 2-year OS (67.6% versus 92.5%, P = 0.005) and TRM (20.1% versus 4.7%, P = 0.020) in recipients surviving for more than 180 days. We concluded that EBV and CMV reactivation post-allotransplant still deserved concern particularly in NHL patients with high-risk factors, since it is generally related to a deteriorated prognosis. Large-scale studies are warranted to validate our findings.

Comparison of Survival Between Autologous and Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Meta-Analysis. Cell Transplant 2021; 29:963689720975397.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the efficacy of allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) versus autologous SCT (auto-SCT) in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). Medline, CENTRAL, and EMBASE databases through December 31, 2019 were searched. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates. The secondary outcomes include transplant-related mortality (TRM), event-free survival, relapse/or progression, and nonrelapse mortality (NRM). The 18 retrospective studies enrolled 8,058 B-NHL patients (allo-SCT = 1,204; auto-SCT = 6,854). The OS was significantly higher in patients receiving auto-SCT than allo-SCT (pooled odds ratio [OR]: 1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.29 to 2.22, P < 0.001), but no significant difference was found in PFS (pooled OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.69 to 1.38, P = 0.891). Auto-SCT patients also had lower TRM and NRM (TRM: OR = 0.23, P < 0.001; NRM: OR = 0.16, P < 0.001), but higher relapse or progression rate (OR = 2.37, P < 0.001) than allo-SCT patients. Subgroup analysis performed for different grades and subtypes of B-NHL showed higher OS in auto-SCT patients with high-grade B-NHL and diffused large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). There was, nevertheless, higher PFS in allo-SCT patients with low-grade B-NHL and follicular lymphoma (FL), and lower PFS in allo-SCT patients with DLBCL than their auto-SCT counterparts. In conclusion, the meta-analysis demonstrated that relapsed or refractory B-NHL patients who received auto-SCT have improved OS than those treated with allo-SCT, especially among those with DLBCL, but lower PFS among those with FL. However, the study is limited by a lack of randomized trials, patients’ heterogeneity, and possible selection bias.

Abstract
Total body irradiation (TBI) is included in the conditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), with unique advantages such as uniform distribution over the whole body and decreased exposure to cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents. For individuals who lack matched sibling or matched unrelated donors, the use of haploidentical donors has been increasing despite challenges such as graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Although a limited number of studies have been performed to assess the clinical role of TBI in haploidentical HSCT, TBI-based conditioning showed comparable results in terms of survival outcomes, rate of relapse, and GVHD in diverse hematologic malignancies such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Advances in supportive care, along with recent technical improvements such as restriction of maximum tolerated dose, appropriate fractionation, and organ shielding, help to overcome diverse adverse events related to TBI. Post-transplantation cyclophosphamide was used in most studies to reduce the risk of GVHD. Additionally, it was found that post-transplantation rituximab may improve outcomes in TBI-based haploidentical HSCT, especially in patients with B-cell lymphoma. Along with the advances of techniques and strategies, the expansion of age restriction would be another important issue for TBI-based haploidentical HSCT considering the current tendency toward increasing age limitation and lack of matched donors. This review article summarizes the current use and future perspectives of TBI in haploidentical HSCT.

Abstract
The B cell surface antigen CD19 is a target for treating B cell malignancies, such as B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia and B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The BiTE® immuno-oncology platform includes blinatumomab, which is approved for relapsed/refractory B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia and B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia with minimal residual disease. Blinatumomab is also being evaluated in combination with other agents (tyrosine kinase inhibitors, checkpoint inhibitors, and chemotherapy) in various treatment settings, including frontline protocols. An extended half-life BiTE molecule is also under investigation. Patients receiving blinatumomab may experience cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity; however, these events may be less frequent and severe than in patients receiving other CD19-targeted immunotherapies, such as chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy. We review BiTE technology for treating malignancies that express CD19, analyzing the benefits and limitations of this bispecific T cell engager platform from clinical experience with blinatumomab.

Abstract
Purpose of this single-centre retrospective study was to assess the outcome of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) for relapsed/refractory (r/r) non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) by intent-to-transplant (ITT). Included were all consecutive patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) for whom a donor search was performed between 2004 and 2018. Primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) measured from search initiation. A donor search was initiated for 189 patients (DLBCL 61, FL 32, MCL 43, and PTCL 53), with 76% of the patients having active disease. OS at 5 years after search initiation for DLBCL, FL, MCL, and PTCL was 26%, 44%, 52%, and 50%, respectively. AlloHCT was performed in 137 patients (72%; DLBCL 64%). Main reason for not undergoing alloHCT was disease progression, whereas donor unavailability accounted for only 4% of pretransplantation failures. These results suggest that survival of patients with r/r NHL entering the alloHCT route may be overestimated by a factor of 1.2-1.4 if based on actually transplanted patients only. This effect should be taken into account when using alloHCT as benchmark for new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of poor-risk NHL.

Abstract
Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) is standard therapy for patients with chemosensitive, relapsed, diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We performed a retrospective cohort study to delineate subsequent (conditional) and relative survival in 371 adult patients with DLBCL who underwent AHCT between 2000 and 2014 and had survived for 1, 2, 3, or 5 years after transplant. The probability of overall survival at 10 years after AHCT was 62%, 71%, 77%, and 86%, respectively, for the 4 cohorts, whereas that of progression-free survival (PFS) was 55%, 65%, 72%, and 81%, respectively. The respective cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) at 10 years after transplantation was 13%, 12%, 11%, and 8%, respectively. In multivariable analysis, older age was associated with greater mortality risk among all but 5-year survivors; relapse within the landmark time was associated with greater mortality risk in all groups. Older age and relapse within the landmark time were associated with worse PFS in all groups. Standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was significantly higher than an age-, gender-, and race-matched general population, with the magnitude of SMR decreasing as the landmark time increased (4.0 for 1-year, 3.0 for 2-year, 2.4 for 3-year, and 1.8 for 5-year survivors). Our study provides information on long-term survival and prognosis that will assist in counseling patients with DLBCL who have received AHCT. Survival improves with longer time in remission post-transplant, although patients continue to remain at risk for NRM, underscoring the need for continued vigilance and prevention of late complications.

Abstract
Background Along with continuing changes in therapeutic modalities, indications of autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) have been emerging and changing considerably, especially in the era of targeted therapy and small molecule inhibitors. Patients treated with novel agents tend to have a longer survival period, thus eventually reaching higher ages at ASCT. Herein, and to address the question of ASCT outcomes in small, community-based, peripheral French centers, we report the 10-year follow-up results of 136 patients who received ASCT in our eight-bed ASCT unit, situated in an urban area. Methods We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 136 patients treated between 2008 and 2017 at the Duchenne Hospital Center. Of these 136 patients, 75 underwent ASCT for myeloma, while 61 underwent ASCT for lymphoma, amongst which 57 patients were treated for B-cell lymphoma. The median age was 65 years (range, 27-72) for myeloma patients, and 62 years (range, 27-71) for patients with lymphoma. Results The cohort median follow up was estimated at 33 months; 10-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 71% and 64% for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and 75% and 45% for myeloma, respectively. No statistically significant differences were found for OS or 1-year PFS between patients who received ASCT from 2008 to 2012, and those who received it from 2013 to 2017. Conclusions In the absence of randomized trials studying the role of center size, experience, and standardization procedure for ASCT outcome, these results may suggest that ASCT in peripheral accredited small-sized centers could be a viable option to facilitate follow up and enable access to this treatment, especially for elderly patients, in comparison with referring the patient to central large hospitals to undergo ASCT.

Abstract
Introduction: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is a clinically heterogeneous disease. Treatment pathways for DLBCL are diverse and integrate established and novel therapies.Areas covered: We review the cost burden of DLBCL and the cost-effectiveness of DLBCL management including precision and cellular medicine. We utilized Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms and keywords to search the National Library of Medicine online MEDLINE database (PubMed) for articles related to cost, cost burden, and cost-of-illness of DLBCL and cost-effectiveness of DLBCL management strategies published in English as of June 2019.Expert commentary: Available and developing DLBCL therapies offer improved outcomes and often curative treatment at considerable financial expense, and the total cost burden for DLBCL management is substantial for patients and the healthcare system. In the era of personalized medicine, CAR T cells and targeted therapies provide exciting avenues for current and future DLBCL care and can further increase treatment cost. Determinations of cost and cost-effectiveness in DLBCL treatment pathways should continue to guide care providers and systems in identifying cost reduction strategies to provide appropriate therapies to the greatest number of patients in treating DLBCL.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is still considered a definitive curative modality for refractory or relapsed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). However, transplant-related morbidity and mortality remain a considerable challenge. The graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)–free with relapse-free survival (GRFS) rate and GRFS-related prognostic factors have not been fully examined for NHL alone. We evaluated 104 consecutive patients with refractory or relapsed aggressive NHL receiving allo-HSCT at a single institution. With a median follow-up of 31.5 months, the estimated 3-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), the cumulative incidence rates of relapse, and non-relapse mortality were 45.9%, 45.9%, 36.0%, and 17.0%, respectively. The patients with overall grades III–IV acute GVHD had markedly inferior OS and DFS (p = 0.040 for OS and p = 0.028 for DFS). However, patients with more than mild stage chronic GVHD showed superior OS and DFS (p = 0.004 and p = 0.008, respectively). The 1- and 3-year GRFS rates were 44.5% and 36.9%, respectively. The negative bone marrow involvement at diagnosis, chemosensitive disease status, and fewer exposure lines of chemotherapy before transplantation significantly increased the GRFS incidence. However, no transplant-associated factors were related to GRFS incidence. Furthermore, applying dynamic GRFS method which excepted patients whose chronic GVHD was fully resolved within short-period, survival rate significantly increased over time (36.9% vs. 41.9%, p = 0.045 for conventional GRFS vs. dynamic GRFS at 3 years after transplantation). In conclusion, these results suggest that GRFS is also a useful endpoint to assess transplant outcomes, and the dynamic GRFS calculation, including rapidly manageable chronic GVHD, is a more practical method for patients with refractory or relapsed heterogenous subtypes of NHL.

Abstract
Despite the myriad of available treatments, a substantial subset of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma are not able to achieve a prolonged disease-free interval with conventional chemotherapy or targeted agents. For these patients, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains an option for consolidative or curative treatment. Additionally, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy has emerged for patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphomas. Published studies vary widely in their selected approach to transplant and cellular therapies. This review summarizes available data related to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

High-dose etoposide could discriminate the benefit from autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in the patients with refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Ann Hematol 2019; 98:823-831. [PMID: 30715566 PMCID: PMC6423309 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-019-03605-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2018] [Accepted: 01/07/2019] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
To evaluate the strategy of using high-dose etoposide mobilization followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) refractory to rituximab-based chemotherapy. Forty patients with refractory DLBCL were treated with high-dose etoposide for stem cell mobilization. All patients were in progressive disease (PD) prior to mobilization and underwent high-dose chemotherapy followed by APBSCT. Successful PBSC mobilization was achieved in all patients. Twenty-three patients (57.5%) showed a clinical response to high-dose etoposide. After APBSCT, 17 patients (42.5%) achieved CR. The 2-year progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rate were higher in patients responding to high-dose etoposide (64.1% and 77.7%) compared to those without response (11.8% and 11.8%; P < 0.001 for both). The response to high-dose etoposide mobilization therapy was an independent prognostic factor for CR achievement, PFS and OS after APBSCT. High-dose etoposide mobilization chemotherapy followed by APBSCT could rescue a proportion of patients with refractory DLBCL who responded to etoposide mobilization regimen.

Abstract
AIM Quantify hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) costs in German patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL). METHODS The primary outcome was direct and indirect costs in patients with ALL/DLBCL/FL who received HSCT between 2010 and 2014. Costs were evaluated two to four quarters before to eight quarters after HSCT. RESULTS Among 258 patients with HSCT, direct costs were €290,125/patient (pediatric ALL), €246,266/patient (adult ALL), €230,399/patient (DLBCL/FL allogeneic) and €107,457/patient (DLBCL/FL autologous). Indirect costs with HSCT were €52,939/patient (adult ALL), €20,285/patient (DLBCL/FL allogeneic) and €29,881/patient (DLBCL/FL autologous). CONCLUSION Direct and indirect costs associated with HSCT are substantial for patients with ALL, DLBCL and FL. Novel therapies that reduce HSCT use could reduce medical costs.
