Abstract
Marginal zone lymphomas (MZLs) are a rare, indolent group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas with different diagnostic, genetic and clinical features and therapeutic implications. The most common is extranodal MZL of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, followed by splenic MZL and nodal MZL. Patients with MZL generally have good outcomes with long survival rates but frequently have a relapsing/remitting course requiring several lines of therapy. The heterogeneous presentation and relapsing course present the clinician with several diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This position statement presents evidence-based recommendations in the setting of Australia and New Zealand.

Abstract
The spleen, body's largest secondary lymphoid organ, is also a vital hematopoietic and immunological organ. It is regarded as one of the most significant organs in humans. As more researchers recognize the functions of the spleen, clinical methods for treating splenic diseases and spleen-targeted drug delivery systems to improve the efficacy of spleen-related therapies have gradually developed. Many modification strategies (size, charge, ligand, protein corona) and hitchhiking strategies (erythrocytes, neutrophils) of nanoparticles (NPs) have shown a significant increase in spleen targeting efficiency. However, most of the targeted drug therapy strategies for the spleen are to enhance or inhibit the immune function of the spleen to achieve therapeutic effects, and there are few studies on spleen-related diseases. In this review, we not only provide a detailed summary of the design rules for spleen-targeted drug delivery systems in recent years, but also introduce common spleen diseases (splenic tumors, splenic injuries, and splenomegaly) with the hopes of generating more ideas for future spleen research.

Abstract
B-cell lymphomas occur with an incidence of 20 new cases per 100 000 people per year in high-income countries. They can affect any organ and are characterised by heterogeneous clinical presentations and courses, varying from asymptomatic, to indolent, to very aggressive cases. Since the topic of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas was last reviewed in The Lancet in 2017, a deeper understanding of the biological background of this heterogeneous group of malignancies, the availability of new diagnostic methods, and the development and implementation of new targeted and immunotherapeutic approaches have improved our ability to treat patients. This Seminar provides an overview of the pathobiology, classification, and prognostication of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas and summarises the current knowledge and standard of care regarding biology and clinical management of the most common subtypes of mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. It also highlights new findings in deciphering the molecular background of disease development and the implementation of new therapeutic approaches, particularly those targeting the immune system.

Abstract
RATIONALE Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL), an indolent small B-cell lymphoma, is uncommon, and part of the patients exist plasmocytic differentiation and secrete monoclonal paraproteins including IgM predominantly. SMZL with monoclonal IgG is rarer. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a case of SMZL (49-year-old, male) with monoclonal IgG, MYD88L265P mutation and hepatitis B virus infection. DIAGNOSES The patient was presented to our hospital with aggravating complaints of dizziness, fatigue, postprandial abdominal distension, and night sweats. The diagnosis was confirmed by clinical manifestations, immunophenotype, bone marrow pathology. INTERVENTIONS The patient received rituximab-based chemotherapy and sequential ibrutinib in combination with entecavir. OUTCOMES After 1 year of follow-up, his blood routine examination had returned to normal with normal level of albumin and significantly lower globulin than before, and the spleen was of normal size. LESSONS We conclude that rituximab-based chemotherapy is the main treatment option for the patients with SMZL, and Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor has also shown beneficial efficacy.

Abstract
DISEASE OVERVIEW Marginal zone lymphomas (MZL) are collectively the second most common type of indolent lymphoma. DIAGNOSIS Three subtypes of MZL are recognized: splenic, extranodal, and nodal. The diagnosis is secured following biopsy of an involved nodal or extranodal site demonstrating a clonal B-cell infiltrate with CD5 and CD10 negative immunophenotype most common. Some cases will features IgM paraprotein, but MYD88 L256P mutations are less frequent than in Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. Prognostication Several prognostic models have been developed, including the MALT-IPI and the MZL-IPI. The latter is broadly applicable across MZL subtypes and incorporates elevated serum LDH, anemia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia and nodal or disseminated subtypes as independent predictors of outcome. TREATMENT We discuss suggested approach to therapy for both early and advanced-stage disease, with reference to chemo-immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and emerging treatments in relapsed/refractory disease such as BTK inhibitors.

Abstract
The treatment of splenic marginal zone lymphoma is debated: splenectomy (the old standard-of-care) is better than chemotherapy but maybe not better than rituximab-containing treatment. We examined all 358 patients diagnosed with splenic marginal zone lymphoma in Sweden 2000-2020. The median overall survival was 11.0 years. The median age was 73 years; 61% were women. Age was the only independently prognostic clinical characteristic. Eighty-six patients were started on wait-and-watch, 90 rituximab monotherapy, 47 rituximab-chemotherapy, 88 splenectomy, 37 chemotherapy, and 10 both systemic therapy and splenectomy. Overall survival was inferior in patients treated with chemotherapy, but equal in patients treated with rituximab, rituximab-chemotherapy and splenectomy. Patients treated with both systemic therapy and splenectomy showed good outcome, suggesting that surgery can be safely reserved for nonresponders. After adjustment for age, survival did not differ between patients started on wait-and-watch and those treated with splenectomy or rituximab-containing therapy. Over time, rituximab use and survival increased in patients ≥73 years. This is, to our knowledge, the largest population-based study of splenic marginal zone lymphoma patients treated with upfront rituximab. We conclude that wait-and-watch remains the most reasonable option in asymptomatic splenic marginal zone lymphoma patients. Symptomatic patients should be offered single-agent rituximab in first line.

Abstract
The aims of our study were to analyse compliance with the 2014 GELTAMO SMZL Guidelines, in patients with splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL), and to evaluate the outcome according to the HPLLs/ABC-adapted therapeutic strategy. Observational prospective multicenter study of 181 SMZL patients diagnosed between 2014 and 2020. Lymphoma-specific survival (LSS), composite event-free survival (CEFS) and response rates were assessed. 57% of the 168 patients included in the analysis followed the Guidelines. The overall response rate was higher in the rituximab chemotherapy and in the rituximab arms compared with the splenectomy arm (p < 0.001). The 5-year overall survival was 77% and the 5-year LSS of 93%. There were no differences in the 5-year LSS according to the treatment received (p = 0.68). The 5-year CEFS in the overall series was 45%, and there were significant differences between scores A and B (p = 0.036). There were no significant differences when comparing LSS and progression-free survival in patients treated with rituximab or rituximab chemotherapy at diagnosis or after observation. Our data support HPLLs/ABC score as a practical tool for the management of SMZL, observation as the best approach for patients in group A and rituximab as the best treatment for group B.

Abstract
Marginal zone lymphomas (MZL) are a rare, heterogenous group of lymphomas, accounting for 5-17% of indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the western world. They can be further divided into three subtypes: extranodal MZL, splenic MZL, and nodal MZL. These subtypes differ in clinical presentation and behavior, which influences how they are managed. There is currently no standard of care for the treatment of MZL, owing to the difficulty in conducting phase 3 randomized trials in MZL, and the fact that there are limited data on the efficacy of therapy in individual subtypes. Treatment practices are thus largely borrowed from other indolent lymphomas and are based on patient and disease characteristics, as well as access to therapy. This review summarizes the Canadian treatment landscape for MZL and how these therapies may be sequenced in practice.

Abstract
Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is a low-grade mature B-cell lymphoma that typically presents in the form of splenomegaly and lymphocytosis. The diagnosis is traditionally made through splenic histology, the presence of circulating villous lymphocytes, or bone marrow biopsy. Its treatment can be in the form of chemotherapy, such as rituximab, or active surveillance. This case presentation discusses a 76-year-old female with a long history of hydroxyurea use for an unknown reason presenting with atypical symptoms requiring bone marrow biopsy to diagnose SMZL. This unique case demonstrates the importance of further research and studies into atypical SMZL presentations and hydroxyurea's potential in precipitating secondary malignancies.

Abstract
Marginal zone lymphomas (MZLs) represent about 7% of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas and include 3 different subtypes-namely, extranodal (EMZL), nodal, and splenic (SMZL). The initial assessment requires specific diagnostic and staging procedures depending on organ-related peculiarities. In particular, although positron emission tomography/computed tomography was not initially recommended, recent data have reassessed its role in the routine staging of MZL, especially when only localized treatment is planned or there is a suspicion of histologic transformation. Recent findings have improved the risk stratification of MZL patients, highlighting the association of early progression after frontline therapy with worse overall survival. A significant fraction of MZL cases may be related to specific bacterial (ie, Helicobacter pylori in gastric EMZL) or viral infections (hepatis C virus), and in the earlier phases of disease, a variable percentage of patients may respond to anti-infective therapy. Involved-site radiotherapy has a central role in the management of localized EMZL not amenable to or not responding to anti-infective therapy. Although rituximab-based treatments (bendamustine- rituximab in advanced EMZL or rituximab monotherapy in SMZL) have demonstrated favorable results, the current therapeutic scenario is predicted to rapidly change as emerging novel agents, especially Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors, have demonstrated promising efficacy and safety profiles, leading to their approval in the relapsed setting. Moreover, a large variety of novel agents (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor T-cells, bispecific antibodies) are being tested in MZL patients with encouraging preliminary results.

Abstract
A previously healthy man in his 60s being worked up for splenomegaly presented to the emergency department with recurrent episodes of angioedema. Each episode was attributed to a precipitating cause, and consequently, the predisposing C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) deficiency remained undiagnosed until the third presentation. The aetiology of acquired C1-INH deficiency would be primarily obscure and require further investigations to identify. A clonal B cell population was finally isolated by flow cytometry after multiple repeat marrow samples, and a diagnosis of splenic marginal zone lymphoma was subsequently reached. Response to single-agent rituximab was observed with resolution of splenomegaly, disappearance of the antibody and restoration of C1-INH levels.

Abstract
Treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in general has improved over the years with the emergence of the monoclonal antibodies (MAB) therapy. NHL is divided into B cell NHL and T cell NHL. Treatment of NHL was based on the subtype of NHL and its staging. NHL is divided into aggressive and indolent NHL (iNHL). Subtypes of iNHL include: Follicular lymphoma (FL), Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small-cell lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), Gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, Nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL), Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL). Chemotherapy was the main stay treatment of iNHL until the emergence of Rituximab, anti-CD20 MAB targeting CD-20 surface cell antigens that are present on B-cells lymphoma and not on precursor cells, mainly efficacious in B cell iNHL, It became the mainstay treatment in follicular lymphoma (FL) as a single agent modality or in combination with chemotherapy. The anti-CD20 Rituximab played an important role in the development of the treatment of iNHL to become FDA approved in 1997. It was also proven effective in multiple other types of lymphoma. MAB through targeting the cell surface antigen leads to a direct or immune mediated cytotoxicity. This carries few side effects, including allergic reactions. Other than that, a resistance mechanism to rituximab emerged by inducing a failure in the apoptosis mechanism. Alternative mechanisms of resistance included the presence of soluble antigens that could act by binding to the antibody present before the drug itself can bind the lymphoma cell. Thus, the interest in immunotherapy grew further to explore the possibility of conjugating an immune mediated drug to a radio-sensitizing agent in order to enhance the selectivity of the drug. Here came the development of 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan and 131I-tositumomab. After it, humanized anti-CD20 emerged ofatumumab, IMMU106 (veltuzumab) in 2005, and ocrelizumab which are considered as second generation anti-CD20 and 3rd generation anti-CD20 include AME-133v (ocaratuzumab), PRO131921 and GA101 (obinutuzumab). Also multiple other agents emerged targeting different surface cell antigens like CD52 (alemtuzumab), CD22 (unconjugated epratuzumab and calicheamicin conjugated CMC-544 [inotuzumab ozogamicin]), CD80 (galiximab), CD2 (MEDI-507 [siplizumab]), CD30 (SGN-30 and MDX-060 [iratumumab], Brentuximab vedotin), CD40 (SGN-40), and CD79b (Polatuzumab). Other agents include MAB targeting T-Cells like mogamulizumab, Denileukin Diftitox and BiTEs or bispecific T cell engagers like Mosunetuzumab, Glofitamab, and Epcoritamab. Moreover, further studies came up to evaluate the role of immunotherapy in combination chemotherapy as a pathway to evade the resistance mechanisms. Side effects of the treatment were mainly infusion related adverse reactions, myelosuppression in conjugated forms leading to immunosuppression and subsequently to infectious complications. Another important aspect in immunotherapy is the half-lives of the medication which is an important factor that can influence the evaluation of the response. The MAB treatment showed important benefit in the treatment of iNHL and it continuously shows how rapidly it can develop to provide optimum care and benefit to patients with iNHL.

Abstract
Treatment of indolent lymphoma has improved significantly in recent decades since the advent of rituximab (anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody). Although, some patients with limited disease can be cured with radiation therapy alone, most patients experience disease progression and recurrence during follow-up despite early initiation of treatment. Thus, watch-and-wait is still regarded the standard for asymptomatic patients. Patients with indolent lymphoma have a significant heterogeneity in terms of tumor burden, symptoms (according to anatomical sites) and the need for instant therapy. Therefore, the initiation of treatment and treatment option should be decided with a clear goal in each patient according to the need for therapy and clinical benefits with the chosen treatment. In this review, we cover the current treatment of follicular lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma.

Immunochemotherapy and Maintenance With Obinutuzumab or Rituximab in Patients With Previously Untreated Marginal Zone Lymphoma in the Randomized GALLIUM Trial. Hemasphere 2022; 6:e699. [PMID: 35233508 PMCID: PMC8878871 DOI: 10.1097/hs9.0000000000000699] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2021] [Accepted: 02/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab (G)- versus rituximab (R)-chemotherapy in a subgroup of patients with previously untreated marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) in the phase III GALLIUM trial (NCT01332968). Patients had stage III/IV (or stage II with bulky disease), splenic, nodal, or extranodal MZL requiring treatment. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive G- or R-chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone; cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone; or bendamustine, allocated at patient level). Patients with complete/partial response at the end of induction (EOI) received G/R maintenance. Investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), other time-to-event endpoints, response, and safety were assessed. Overall, 195 patients with MZL were included in this analysis: G-chemotherapy (n = 99), R-chemotherapy (n = 96). Median observation time: 59.3 months. No meaningful difference was observed between arms for PFS (4-y PFS rates: G-chemotherapy, 72.6%; R-chemotherapy, 64.1%), other time-to-event endpoints, or EOI response rates (by computed tomography [CT; G-chemotherapy, 81.8%; R-chemotherapy, 81.3%] and positron emission tomography CT [G-chemotherapy, 79.2%; R-chemotherapy, 87.5%]). All patients experienced ≥1 adverse event (AE). G-chemotherapy was associated with a higher incidence of grade 3–5 (86.1% versus 77.4%), grade 5 (14.9% versus 9.7%), and serious (66.3% versus 51.6%) AEs versus R-chemotherapy. Both arms had a higher incidence of grade 3–5 and serious AEs than patients with follicular lymphoma (GALLIUM), with G-chemotherapy being less tolerable than R-chemotherapy. Based on the observed tolerability of G-chemotherapy versus R-chemotherapy, and the comparable efficacy of G-chemotherapy and R-chemotherapy in this analysis, G-chemotherapy cannot be recommended as first-line treatment for MZL.

Abstract
We report efficacy, safety and biomarker data from a phase-II study evaluating atezolizumab (eight 21-day cycle as induction therapy) in combination with obinutuzumab in patients with relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL, n = 30) or Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM, n = 4), and in combination with rituximab in patients with marginal zone lymphoma (MZL, n = 21). All patients received atezolizumab monotherapy as maintenance for ≤10 cycles. Objective response rates at end of induction were 16.7% (MCL) and 42.9% (MZL), with no responses in WM. Median duration of response was 6.8 months (range 5.7-not estimable) for MCL and not reached for MZL. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred in 93.3%, 95.2% and 100% of MCL, MZL and WM patients, respectively. One fatal TEAE (pneumonia) occurred in each of the MCL and MZL groups. Biomarker analysis highlighted the importance of characterizing the immune environment to optimize efficacy of immunotherapy regimens.Trial registration details: EudraCT: 2016-003579-22.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Here, we report the novel presentation of a factor VII inhibitor in association with a new diagnosis of splenic marginal zone lymphoma in a previously healthy 38-year-old woman. There are only 4 reported cases of factor VII inhibitors, none of which are secondary to a splenic marginal zone lymphoma. CASE REPORT Our patient, a 38-year-old woman, presented reporting increased abdominal swelling and early satiety. She was found to have pancytopenia, an elevated international normalized ratio (INR), normal partial thromboplastin time (PTT), and massive splenomegaly. Further investigation revealed a morphology and immunophenotype most consistent with splenic marginal zone lymphoma. A mixing study was unable to bring the INR into normal range after 60 min, confirming a factor VII inhibition. Therefore, the final diagnosis was primary splenic marginal zone lymphoma and secondary factor VII inhibitors. Owing to the elevated INR, both chemotherapy and splenectomy were avoided and we began a 4-week course of weekly rituximab infusions. After a second course of 4 treatments, there was a resolution of both the coagulopathy and the splenomegaly. At this point, the splenectomy was safely performed. Maintenance rituximab continued for 2 years. Our patient has now been in remission 12 years. CONCLUSIONS We successfully treated a rare factor VII inhibitor and its underlying splenic marginal zone lymphoma with rituximab immunotherapy. A complete response was documented by splenectomy. The patient's 12-year remission of both the lymphoma and the inhibitor helps to support the causative relationship between the lymphoma and the factor VII inhibitor.

Abstract
We examined outcomes of 244 patients with marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) diagnosed in 2010-2020, of which 25 (10%) expressed CD5. CD5 expression was present in 22% of splenic, 8% of nodal, and 5% of extranodal MZL, and showed frequent blood/bone marrow involvement, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, and TP53 deletions. CD5 expression was not associated with progression-free or overall survival, but it conferred a significantly higher risk of histologic transformation (22% versus 4% at 5 years, p = 0.002). Among patients receiving first-line rituximab monotherapy, CD5 expression was associated with lower response rate (30% versus 77%, p = 0.006), PFS (25% versus 45% at 3 years, p = 0.003) and OS (44% versus 77%, p = 0.010), whereas CD5 status did not significantly affect outcomes of patients receiving bendamustine with rituximab (P for interaction = 0.012 for progression-free survival). CD5-positive MZL may have a propensity to leukemic dissemination, histologic transformation, and may derive benefit from first-line bendamustine/rituximab rather than rituximab alone.

Abstract
Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is a rare low-grade B-cell lymphoma where associations with viral hepatitis and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases (AID) have been indicated. We aimed at assessing the prevalence of viral hepatitis and AID at SMZL diagnosis and outcome by treatment in a Swedish population-based study. A total of 277 SMZL patients registered in the Swedish Lymphoma Register in 2007-2017 were included. A history of viral hepatitis was reported in five (2%) patients and AID prior to SMZL in 72/240 (30%) patients. Treatment was given up front for 207 (75%) patients. Splenectomy with or without systemic treatment was performed in 119 (57%) and was associated with statistically significantly better overall survival [hazard ratio, HR = 0·47 (95% confidence interval, CI: 0·23-0·93), P = 0·03] and progression-free survival (HR = 0·55, 95% CI: 0·35-0·86, P = 0·008) compared to non-splenectomised patients in multivariable analyses. The up-front splenectomised group was younger and generally had a lower Ann Arbor stage, but also more frequently B symptoms and high lactate dehydrogenase than the non-splenectomised group. Viral hepatitis and AID history did not affect SMZL outcome. We report high incidence of AIDs and low incidence of viral hepatitis in this population-based study of SMZL. Splenectomy up front was associated with a favourable outcome.

Abstract
Many patients with follicular (FL) or marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) are not eligible to receive immunochemotherapy due to advanced age or comorbidities. Recent innovations in the treatment of these indolent lymphomas provide options for multiple lines of chemotherapy-free management. More research is needed to determine which older patients are best served by a chemotherapy-free approach in the context of geriatric vulnerabilities. In the first line, regardless of disease burden, rituximab monotherapy can provide high rates of disease control with minimal toxicity, while judicious use of brief maintenance extends the duration of response. Radioimmunotherapy using ibritumomab tiuxetan is an effective and safe post-rituximab consolidation for older patients who have <25% bone marrow involvement. The combination of rituximab and lenalidomide, although “chemotherapy-free”, does not improve tolerability over immunochemotherapy. However, studies support lower doses and shorter duration of lenalidomide exposure as a means to improve safety without materially compromising efficacy for older individuals. Extranodal MZL can often be effectively controlled with low-dose radiation therapy, and splenic MZL has excellent outcomes with rituximab monotherapy. For many patients with relapsed FL/MZL, simple retreatment with anti-CD20 antibodies will prove sufficient. Other currently available options for relapsed/refractory disease include ibritumomab tiuxetan, lenalidomide with rituximab, umbralisib as a potentially less toxic PI3K inhibitor, ibrutinib (for MZL), and tazemetostat (for FL, especially with EZH2 mutation). Emerging data with novel forms of immunotherapy (antibody-drug conjugates like polatuzumab vedotin or loncastuximab tesirine; T-cell-engaging bispecific antibodies like mosunetuzumab or epcoritamab; and chimeric antigen receptor CAR T-cells like axicabtagene ciloleucel) suggest that immune-directed approaches can produce very high and potentially durable responses in FL/MZL with limited toxicities, further obviating the need for chemotherapy.

Abstract
Mature B cell neoplasms, previously indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas (iNHLs), are a heterogeneous group of malignancies sharing similar disease courses and treatment paradigms. Most patients with iNHL have an excellent prognosis, and in many, treatment can be deferred for years. However, some patients will have an accelerated course and may experience transformation into aggressive lymphomas. In this review, we focus on management concepts shared across iNHLs, as well as histology-specific strategies. We address open questions in the field, including the influence of genomics and molecular pathway alterations on treatment decisions. In addition, we review the management of uncommon clinical entities including nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, hairy cell leukemia, splenic lymphoma and primary lymphoma of extranodal sites. Finally, we include a perspective on novel targeted therapies, antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific T cell engagers and chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy.

Abstract
Although sharing some common features in terms of etiology and even clinical presentation, marginal zone lymphoma is a heterogeneous group of diseases, with subtypes that can present in unexpected ways, especially with regard to autoimmune disease. There’s a proven role of antimicrobial therapy for both Helicobacter pylori and hepatitis C virus, and 10-year overall survival is high. Because this disease requires continuous treatment, therapy should be properly sequenced, with consideration given to patient comorbidities and age. Finally, B-cell receptor signaling inhibitors and immunomodulatory agents can provide responses and disease control.

Abstract
Marginal zone lymphomas (MZLs) are indolent yet incurable lymphomas with frequent relapses following therapy. For patients with relapsed/refractory disease, no standard therapies exist. Here we report results of an exploratory phase II study aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of the alkylator agent bendamustine in combination with the second-generation anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, ofatumumab, in patients with relapsed or refractory MZL. Patients with MZL and previously treated with at least one line of systemic therapy were eligible. Treatment consisted in bendamustine (90 mg/m2 on days 1 and 2) and ofatumumab (1000 mg on day 1) in 28-day cycles for up to six cycles. Sixteen patients were included in the trial. In one patient, the diagnosis was revised after two cycles of treatment and was excluded from the efficacy analysis. Among 15 patients with MZL, 14 were evaluable for response: the overall and complete response rates were 92.9% and 57.1%, respectively. The median duration of response was 30.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 15.5 -not estimable) and 2-years progression-free survival 77% (95% CI, 43%-92%). Fifteen patients (94%) experienced grade 3-4 adverse events. Toxicity was mostly hematological. Neutropenia grade ≥3 was recorded in 27% of patients, lymphocytopenia in 93%, and infections and febrile neutropenia each in 13%. One patient discontinued treatment due to myocardial infarction; no treatment-related deaths occurred. The combination of bendamustine with ofatumumab was active with an acceptable toxicity profile in this small phase II trial and can be considered for further investigation in relapsed/refractory MZL patients.

Abstract
RATIONALE Aggressive variant of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (AV-SMZL) is a very rare disease that is often associated with TP53 mutations and has a poor prognosis. On the other hand, recent advances in genome sequencing techniques enable us to understand the molecular characteristics of rare cancers such as AV-SMZL. Here we present a case of AV-SMZL analyzed using a genetic test. PATIENT CONCERNS A 66-year-old woman was admitted with splenomegaly and lymphocytosis. Computed tomography revealed marked splenomegaly without lymphadenopathy in any other areas. The serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) level was significantly elevated. Peripheral and bone marrow blood tests showed an increase in abnormal lymphocytes. DIAGNOSIS A splenectomy revealed an SMZL pattern with increased numbers of large cells and mitotic cells and a high Ki-67 positivity rate, which led to a diagnosis of AV-SMZL. Although TP53 mutation was not detected, mutations in NOTCH2, NCOA4, PTEN, EPHA3, and KMT2D were identified. Among these, the mutations in NCOA4, PTEN, and EPHA3 were novel pathogenic mutations in SMZL, which suggests they may be related to the aggressiveness and persistence of the disease. INTERVENTIONS The patient was administered a rituximab-containing regimen and rituximab-maintenance therapy. OUTCOMES The patient continues to exhibit a complete response. LESSONS This is a case of AV-SMZL in which a cancer panel test successfully detected genetic alterations that are potentially associated with its pathogenesis. These findings suggest that genetic analysis is useful for making diagnoses as well as for determining treatment strategies in AV-SMZL.

Risk adapted approach: How to treat splenic marginal zone lymphoma in resource-poor settings? - The real-life experience of a Brazilian cancer treatment center. BMC Cancer 2020; 20:717.

Abstract
Background Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is a rare lymphoid B-cell malignant neoplasm with primary involvement of the spleen. It is a chronic disease, of indolent behavior and prolonged survival. However, 25% of cases have higher biological aggressiveness, propensity for histological transformation to high grade B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and shortened survival. Recognition of these cases of reserved outcome is important for selecting a risk-adapted therapeutic approach in a resource-poor settings. Methods We described clinical and epidemiological characteristics, survival analysis and prognostic factors in a retrospective cohort of 39 SMZL patients, treated in Latin America. Results We observed a predominance of female (71.8%), median age of 63 years and higher incidence of B symptoms (56.4%) and extra-splenic involvement (87.1%) than in European and North-American series. With a median follow-up of 8.7 years (0.6-20.2 years), estimated 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 76.9% and 63.7%, respectively. Factors with adverse prognostic impact on OS and PFS were Hb < 100 g/L, platelet count < 100 x 109/L, albumin < 3.5 g/dL, LDH > 480 U/L and high-risk Arcaini and SMZL/WG scores. Despite a relative low number of patients, no superiority was observed among the therapeutic regimens used including rituximab monotherapy, splenectomy and cytotoxic chemotherapy. Conclusion Therefore, in resource-poor settings, where access to immunotherapy is not universal for all SMZL patients, we suggest that first-line should consist on rituximab therapy for elderly patients or with high surgical risk or with at least 1 risk factor identified in our study. Remainders can be safely managed with splenectomy.

Abstract
The identification of the CD20 antigen in 1979 was the first step in what would become a therapeutic milestone opening the use of immunotherapy in hematological diseases. This protein is expressed on the surface of developing B cells, but not the early progenitors or mature plasma cells. In 1997, rituximab was approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and since then it has revolutionized the treatment of B-cell malignancies. It is used as a monotherapy and in combination, at induction, at relapsed, and also in maintenance. Indolent non-Hodgkin lymphomas are characterized by a long and non-aggressive course. In this group of lymphomas, rituximab represented a great therapeutic improvement, achieving lasting responses with few adverse effects. Nowadays, second-generation molecules are emerging that may have important advantages compared to rituximab, as well as biosimilars that represent an important cost-effective option.

Abstract
Myelofibrosis (MF) can occur due to a wide variety of causes including malignant lymphoma. We report a case of splenic marginal zone lymphoma complicated by MF mimicking primary myelofibrosis (PMF). The JAK2, CALR and MPL mutations are detected in more than 90% of PMF cases, and when detected, the diagnosis of PMF is usually straight forward. Mutational analysis should be done in all cases of MF, and in triple-negative cases, an exhaustive investigation of other causes of MF should be carried out before a diagnosis of triple-negative PMF is rendered.

Abstract
Introduction: Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) accounts for approximately 10% of all cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and includes 3 clinically distinct subtypes: extranodal (MALT), splenic (SMZL), and nodal (NMZL). Though commonly grouped in trials of iNHL the clinical behavior, molecular features, and response to therapy of MZL is distinct from other iNHL subtypes and varies among MZL subtypes.Areas covered: This review focuses on the contemporary management of NMZL and SMZL. Treatment with monoclonal antibodies, chemoimmunotherapy, BTK inhibitors, PI3K/mTOR inhibitors, Bcl2 inhibitors, lenalidomide, and CAR-T cell therapy will be covered.Expert opinion: In the era of targeted medicine, the need to develop MZL specific clinicogenetic models with prognostic and predictive value in both the frontline and relapsed/refractory setting is becoming increasingly apparent. Due to the relative rarity of each MZL subtype, the use of novel trial design with correlative studies is imperative to advance the field.

Abstract
Background The response rate and survival improvement for rituximab, a CD20-targeting monoclonal antibody, have been demonstrated in marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) as monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapeutic regimens, yet relapses still occur despite treatment completion. Thus, extending the period of remission in MZL patients remains an essential goal. This multicenter, single-arm, open-label phase II study evaluated the survival efficacy of 2 years of rituximab-maintenance therapy in patients with stage III–IV CD20-positive MZL who had responded to first-line R–CVP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisolone). The objective of this study was to determine whether rituximab maintenance following R–CVP warrants further investigation. Methods Prior to rituximab-maintenance therapy, patients received 6–8 cycles of first-line R–CVP therapy for stage III–IV MZL. Rituximab (375 mg/m2), cyclophosphamide (750 mg/m2), and vincristine (1.4 mg/m2; maximum 2 mg) were administered via an intravenous infusion on day 1 of each 3-week cycle, while oral prednisolone (100 mg) was given on days 1–5 of each 3-week cycle. The patients who achieved complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) to R–CVP treatment, were prescribed rituximab-maintenance therapy which was administered intravenously at a dose of 375 mg/m2 every 8 weeks for up to 12 cycles. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and treatment safety. Results 47 patients were enrolled, of whom, 45 (96%) received rituximab-maintenance treatment. Fifteen (33%) patients had nodal MZL. Following R–CVP first-line therapy, 20 (44%), 22 (49%), and 3 (7%) patients achieved CR, PR, and SD, respectively. After a median follow-up of 38.2 months, their observed 3-year PFS rate was 81%. During the rituximab-maintenance, 6 PR and 1 SD patients achieved CR following the administration of R–CVP. Elevated LDH and the presence of B symptoms were found to be significant prognostic factors for PFS (P = 0.003) and demonstrated a 3-year OS rate of 90%. Rituximab-maintenance therapy was well tolerated, and the common treatment-emergent adverse events were sensory neuropathy (18%), myalgia (13%), fatigue (9%), and neutropenia (9%). Conclusion Rituximab-maintenance therapy following first-line R–CVP demonstrated good PFS in patients with stage III–IV MZL, in addition to a favorable toxicity profile.

Cancers (Basel) 2019; 11:E1071. [PMID: 31362369 PMCID: PMC6721364 DOI: 10.3390/cancers11081071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2019] [Revised: 06/13/2019] [Accepted: 06/13/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Although classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is usually curable, 20-30% of the patients experience treatment failure and most of them are typically treated with salvage chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (autoSCT). However, 45-55% of that subset further relapse or progress despite intensive treatment. At the advanced stage of the disease course, recently developed immunotherapeutic approaches have provided very promising results with prolonged remissions or disease stabilization in many patients. Brentuximab vedotin (BV) has been approved for patients with relapsed/refractory cHL (rr-cHL) who have failed autoSCT, as a consolidation after autoSCT in high-risk patients, as well as for patients who are ineligible for autoSCT or multiagent chemotherapy who have failed ≥ two treatment lines. However, except of the consolidation setting, 90-95% of the patients will progress and require further treatment. In this clinical setting, immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) have produced impressive results. Both nivolumab and pembrolizumab have been approved for rr-cHL after autoSCT and BV failure, while pembrolizumab has also been licensed for transplant ineligible patients after BV failure. Other CPIs, sintilimab and tislelizumab, have been successfully tested in China, albeit in less heavily pretreated populations. Recent data suggest that the efficacy of CPIs may be augmented by hypomethylating agents, such as decitabine. As a result of their success in heavily pretreated disease, BV and CPIs are moving to earlier lines of treatment. BV was recently licensed by the FDA for the first-line treatment of stage III/IV Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in combination with AVD (only stage IV according to the European Medicines Agency (EMA)). CPIs are currently being evaluated in combination with AVD in phase II trials of first-line treatment. The impact of BV and CPIs was also investigated in the setting of second-line salvage therapy. Finally, combinations of targeted therapies are under evaluation. Based on these exciting results, it appears reasonable to predict that an improvement in survival and a potential increase in the cure rates of cHL will soon become evident.
