Abstract
ABSTRACT Primary testicular diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PTL) is characterized by high risk of contralateral testis and central nervous system (CNS) relapse. Chemoimmunotherapy with intrathecal (IT) CNS prophylaxis and contralateral testis irradiation eliminates contralateral recurrences and reduces CNS relapses. The IELSG30 phase 2 study investigated feasibility and activity of an intensified IT and IV CNS prophylaxis. Patients with stage I/II PTL who had not received treatment received 2 cycles of IV high-dose methotrexate (MTX) (1.5 g/m2) after 6 cycles of the R-CHOP regimen (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone, every 21 days). IT liposomal cytarabine was administered on day 0 of cycles 2 to 5 of 21-day R-CHOP regimen. Contralateral testis radiotherapy (25-30 Gy) was recommended. Fifty-four patients (median age: 66 years) with stage I (n = 32) or II (n = 22) disease were treated with R-CHOP, 53 received at least 3 doses of IT cytarabine, 48 received at least 1 dose of IV MTX, and 50 received prophylactic radiotherapy. No unexpected toxicity occurred. At a median follow-up of 6 years, there was no CNS relapse; 7 patients progressed, and 8 died, with 5-year progression-free and overall survival rates of 91% (95% confidence interval [CI], 79-96) and 92% (95% CI, 81-97), respectively. Extranodal recurrence was documented in 6 patients (in 2 without nodal involvement). In 4 cases, the relapse occurred >6 years after treatment. Causes of death were lymphoma (n = 4), second primary malignancy (n = 1), cerebral vasculopathy (n = 1), unknown (n = 2). Intensive prophylaxis was feasible and effective in preventing CNS relapses. Late relapses, mainly at extranodal sites, represented the most relevant pattern of failure. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00945724.

Abstract
Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphomas (DLCBL) and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) are the two most common primary gastric lymphomas (PGLs), but have strongly different features. DLBCL is more aggressive, is frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage and has a poorer prognosis. The aim of this retrospective study was to explore the role of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (2-[18 F]-FDG-PET/CT) and radiomics features (RFs) in predicting the final diagnosis of patients with PGLs. Ninety-one patients with newly diagnosed PGLs who underwent pre-treatment 2-[18 F]-FDG-PET/CT were included. PET images were qualitatively and semi-quantitatively analyzed by deriving maximum standardized uptake value body weight (SUVbw), maximum standardized uptake value lean body mass (SUVlbm), maximum standardized uptake value body surface area (SUVbsa), lesion to liver SUVmax ratio (L-L SUV R), lesion to blood-pool SUVmax ratio (L-BP SUV R), metabolic tumor volume (gMTV) and total lesion glycolysis of gastric lesion (gTLG), total MTV (tMTV), TLG, and first-order RFs (histogram-related and shape related). Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to determine the differential diagnostic values of PET parameters. The final diagnosis was DLBCL in 54 (59%) cases and MALT in 37 cases (41%). PGLs showed FDG avidity in 83 cases (90%), 54/54 of DLBCL and 29/37 of MALT. All PET/CT metabolic features, such as stage of disease and tumor size, were significantly higher in DLBCL than MALT; while the presence of H. Pylori infection was more common in MALT. At univariate analysis, all PET/CT metrics were significantly higher in DLBCL than MALT lymphomas, while among RFs only Shape volume_vx and Shape sphericity showed a significant difference between the two groups. In conclusion we demonstrated that 2-[18 F]-FDG-PET/CT parameters can potentially discriminate between DLBCL and MALT lymphomas with high accuracy. Among first-order RFs, only Shape volume_vx and Shape sphericity helped in the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) carrying MYC rearrangement, alone or together with BCL2 and/or BCL6 translocations, have shown a poor prognosis when treated with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) in the HIV population. Scanty data are available on the prevalence and prognostic impact of MYC rearrangements in HIV-associated LBCL. We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the clinical effect of MYC rearrangement in HIV-associated LBCL. We evaluated clinical characteristics, treatment received, and outcome of LBCL in patients with HIV with MYC rearrangement (MYC+) and without MYC rearrangement (MYC-). A total of 155 patients with HIV who had received fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis for MYC were enrolled in 11 European centers: 43 with MYC+ and 112 MYC-. Among patients with MYC, 10 had double-/triple-hit lymphomas, and 33 had isolated MYC rearrangement (single-hit lymphoma). Patients with MYC+ had more frequently advanced stage, >2 extranodal site at presentation, and higher proliferative index. There were no significant differences in overall survival and progression-free survival (PFS) between the 2 groups. However, patients with MYC+ received more frequently intensive chemotherapy (iCT) (44%) than (R)CHOP alone (35%) or infusional treatment (DA-EPOCH-R and R-CDE) (19%). Among patients with MYC+, those who received iCT achieved a better outcome than patients who received nonintensive treatment (complete remission, 84% vs 52%; P = .028; 5-year PFS, 66% vs 36%; P = .021). Our retrospective results suggest that HIV-associated LBCL with MYC+ could be considered for an intensive therapeutic approach whenever possible, whereas (R)CHOP seems to give inferior results in this subset of patients in terms of complete remission and PFS.

Abstract
This retrospective study investigated the prognostic role of disease dissemination features (Dmax and Dmaxbsa) measured by 2-[18F]FDG PET/CT in newly diagnosed Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) patients, comparing their performance with other metabolic parameters. We included 78 patients diagnosed with BL between 2010 and 2022 with an available baseline PET, interim PET/CT (iPET) and end of treatment PET/CT (eotPET) and with a minimum of two 2-[18F]FDG avid lesions present at the baseline scan. Dmax was calculated from the three-dimensional coordinates of the baseline metabolic tumor volume (MTV) by using LIFEx software; Dmaxbsa was calculated as Dmax normalized for body surface area according to the Du Bois method. We evaluated their effect on metabolic treatment response evaluated by PET, on progression free survival (PFS) and on overall survival (OS). Dmaxbsa was significantly associated with tumor stage, bulky and extranodal disease, MTV and TLG. At a median follow-up of 49 months, the median PFS and OS were 45 and 48 months. Dmax and Dmaxbsa were significantly higher in not complete metabolic response than complete metabolic response group at iPET and eotPET.As far as PFS, parameters including iPET/CT, eotPET/CT outcomes, MTV and TLG showed to be independent prognostic factors while Dmax and Dmaxbsa were not significantly associated with the outcome. Dissemination features, together with eotPET/CT results, MTV and TLG, demonstrated to be significantly correlated with OS. In conclusion, in this study we demonstrated that dissemination features derived by 2[18F]-FDG PET/CT were significantly correlated with response to treatment and long-term outcome, independently from other PET features.

Abstract
Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has already been reported.The primary analysis of the Ro-CHOP phase III randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01796002) established that romidepsin (Ro) plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (CHOP) did not yield an increased efficacy compared with CHOP alone as first-line treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. We report the planned final analysis 5 years after the last patient enrolled. With a median follow-up of 6 years, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 12.0 months compared with 10.2 months (hazard ratio [HR], 0.79 [95% CI, 0.62 to 1.005]; P = .054), while median overall survival was 62.2 months (35.7-86.6 months) and 43.8 months (30.1-70.2 months; HR, 0.88 [95% CI, 0.68 to 1.14]; P = .324) in the Ro-CHOP and CHOP arms, respectively. In an exploratory analysis, the median PFS in the centrally reviewed follicular helper T-cell lymphoma subgroup was significantly longer in the Ro-CHOP arm (19.5 v 10.6 months, HR, 0.703 [95% CI, 0.502 to 0.985]; P = .039). Second-line treatments were given to 251 patients with a median PFS2 and OS2 after relapse or progression of 3.3 months and 11.5 months, respectively. Within the limits of highly heterogeneous second-line treatments, no specific regimen seemed to provide superior disease control. However, a potential benefit was observed with brentuximab vedotin in association with chemotherapy even after excluding anaplastic large-cell lymphoma subtype or after adjusting for histology and international prognostic index in a multivariate model (HR for PFS, 0.431 [95% CI, 0.238 to 0.779]; P = .005).

Abstract
Older patients with aggressive lymphoma are extremely heterogeneous due to the high frequency of functional limitations and comorbidities and to the different biological profiles and clinical behavior of the disease. The stratification in three geriatric categories (fit-unfit-frail) based on multidimensional geriatric assessment (GA) helps physicians tailor a potentially curative treatment.While an intensive approach with the standard R-CHOP regimen is feasible in fit patients, leading to similar long-term response and survival rates compared to younger ones, in unfit patients a balance between treatment toxicity and curative intent can be obtained through the reduction of dose intensity. Frail patients, treated with best supportive care so far, could benefit from a chemo-free approach with new target drugs. These novel agents, either alone or in combination with chemo-immunotherapy, are changing the therapeutic landscape of older patients with aggressive lymphoma, both in first-line therapy and in the setting of the relapsed/refractory disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal consolidation for young patilents with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) remains uncertain in the rituximab era, with an unclear benefit of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). The multicenter, randomized, phase III FLAZ12 (NCT01827605) trial compared anti-CD20 radioimmunotherapy (RIT) with ASCT as consolidation after chemoimmunotherapy, both followed by rituximab maintenance. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients (age 18-65 years) with R/R FL and without significant comorbidities were enrolled and treated with three courses of conventional, investigator-chosen chemoimmunotherapies. Those experiencing at least a partial response were randomized 1 : 1 to ASCT or RIT before CD34+ collection, and all received postconsolidation rituximab maintenance. Progression-free survival (PFS) was the primary endpoint. The target sample size was 210 (105/group). RESULTS Between August 2012 and September 2019, of 164 screened patients, 159 were enrolled [median age 57 (interquartile range 49-62) years, 55% male, 57% stage IV, 20% bulky disease]. The study was closed prematurely because of low accrual. Data were analyzed on 8 June 2023, on an intention-to-treat basis, with a 77-month median follow-up from enrollment. Of the 141 patients (89%), 70 were randomized to ASCT and 71 to RIT. The estimated 3-year PFS in both groups was 62% (hazard ratio 1.11, 95% confidence interval 0.69-1.80, P = 0.6662). The 3-year overall survival also was similar between the two groups. Rates of grade ≥3 hematological toxicity were 94% with ASCT versus 46% with RIT (P < 0.001), and grade ≥3 neutropenia occurred in 94% versus 41%, respectively (P < 0.001). Second cancers occurred in nine patients after ASCT and three after radioimmunotherapy (P = 0.189). CONCLUSIONS Even if prematurely discontinued, our study did not demonstrate the superiority of ASCT versus RIT. ASCT was more toxic and demanding for patients and health services. Both strategies yielded similar, favorable long-term outcomes, suggesting that consolidation programs milder than ASCT require further investigation in R/R FL.

Abstract
In patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) of intermediate-risk (IR) in first remission (CR1) with no measurable residual disease (MRD negative), the choice of the best consolidation is questionable. 1122 adult patients from 196 centers, transplanted in 2010-21 were analyzed: 547 received an autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and 575 a Haploidentical donor transplant. Because of a significant interaction, comparisons were done separately for patients with wild-type FLT3 (FLT3-wt) and FLT3-ITD mutation (FLT3-ITD). In FLT3-wt patients, haploidentical transplants had two year lower relapse incidence (RI) (16.9% versus 32.6%; HR = 0.40, p < 0.001), higher NRM higher (17.2% vs 3.5%; HR = 7.02, p < 0.001), similar LFS (65.9% vs 63.8%; p = 0.37) and lower OS (73.2% vs 80.6%; HR = 1.69, p = 0.018). In FLT3-ITD patients, haploidentical transplants had two year lower RI (8.2% vs 47.8%; HR = 0.14, p < 0.001) higher NRM (20.2% vs 5.6%; HR = 3.43, p = 0.002), better LFS (71.5% vs 46.6%; HR = 0.53, p = 0.007) and similar OS (73.5% vs 61.9%; p = 0.44). In IR AML patients with FLT3-wt in MRD negative CR1, autologous stem cell transplantation is a valid option, while in patients with FLT3-ITD, haploidentical transplant is better. Whether autologous transplantation is superior to chemotherapy in FLT3-wt patients and the role of maintenance therapy with FLT3 inhibitors remain to be studied.

Abstract
Treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in older patients is challenging, especially for those who are not eligible for anthracycline-containing regimens. Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) started the FIL_ReRi study, a 2-stage single-arm trial to investigate the activity and safety of the chemo-free combination of rituximab and lenalidomide (R2) in ≥70-year-old untreated frail patients with DLBCL. Frailty was prospectively defined using a simplified geriatric assessment tool. Patients were administered a maximum of 6 28-day cycles of 20 mg oral lenalidomide from days 2 to 22 and IV rituximab 375 mg/m2 on day 1, with response assessment after cycles 4 and 6. Patients with partial response or complete response (CR) at cycle 6 were administered lenalidomide 10 mg/d from days 1 to 21 for every 28 cycles for a total of 12 cycles or until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point was the overall response rate (ORR) after cycle 6; the coprimary end point was the rate of grade 3 or 4 extrahematological toxicity. The ORR was 50.8%, with 27.7% CR. After a median follow-up of 24 months, the median progression-free survival was 14 months, and the 2-year duration of response was 64%. Thirty-four patients experienced extrahematological toxicity according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade ≥3. The activity of the R2 combination was observed in a significant proportion of subjects, warranting further exploration of a chemo-free approach in frail older patients with DLBCL. This trial was registered at EudraCT as #2015-003371-29 and clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02955823.

Abstract
Rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) is the most commonly used regimen for the upfront treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, it is associated with cardiotoxicity, especially in older patients. Substituting doxorubicin with non-PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin (R-COMP) may reduce the risk of cardiac events, but its efficacy has never been demonstrated in prospective trials. We describe the characteristics and outcome of patients with DLBCL aged ≥65 years prospectively enrolled in the Elderly Project by the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi and treated with full doses of R-CHOP or R-COMP per local practice. Starting from 1163 patients, 383 (55%) were treated with R-CHOP and 308 (45%) with R-COMP. Patients treated with R-COMP were older (median age, 76 vs 71 years), less frequently fit at simplified geriatric assessment (61% vs 88%; P < .001), and had a more frequent baseline cardiac disorders (grade >1, 32% vs 8%; P < .001). Three-year progression-free survival (PFS) was similar between R-CHOP and R-COMP (70% and 64%); 3-year overall survival was 77%, and 71% respectively. R-CHOP was associated with better PFS vs R-COMP only in the Elderly Prognostic Index (EPI) low-risk group. The two groups had similar rates of treatment interruptions due to toxicities or of cardiac events (P = 1.00). We suggest R-COMP is a potentially curative treatment for older patients with intermediate- or high-risk EPI, even in the presence of a baseline cardiopathy. R-CHOP is confirmed as the standard therapy for low risk patients.

Abstract
Here we report two cases of myeloma patients who became positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection during the acute phase of autologous stem cell transplant. Both patients were promptly treated with monoclonal antibodies and remdesivir, and, despite the profound neutropenia and lymphopenia, they did not develop respiratory failure and they remained paucisymptomatic during the entire period of aplasia. Neutrophil engraftment took place as expected and the patients were discharged quickly and did not experience adverse effects after discharge.

Abstract
Recently, several studies introduced the potential prognostic usefulness of maximum tumor dissemination (Dmax) measured by 2-deoxy-2-fluorine-18-fluoro-D-glucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT). Dmax is a simple three-dimensional feature that represents the maximal distance between the two farthest hypermetabolic PET lesions. A comprehensive computer literature search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane libraries was conducted, including articles indexed up to 28 February 2023. Ultimately, 19 studies analyzing the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT Dmax in patients with lymphomas were included. Despite their heterogeneity, most studies showed a significant prognostic role of Dmax in predicting progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Some articles showed that the combination of Dmax with other metabolic features, such as MTV and interim PET response, proved to better stratify the risk of relapse or death. However, some methodological open questions need to be clarified before introducing Dmax into clinical practice.

Abstract
Up to 10%-15% of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are related to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, in particular in elderly patients. The Fondazione Italiana Linfomi has recently published a multicentre prospective observational study, the 'Elderly Project', on the outcome of DLBCL in patients aged ≥65 years, evaluated using a simplified comprehensive geriatric assessment. The aim of this study was to compare biological and clinical features of HCV positive (HCV+) with HCV negative (HCV-) cases. A total of 89 HCV+ patients were identified out of 1095 evaluated for HCV serology (8.1%). The HCV+ patients were older, less fit, and had frequent extranodal involvement. The cell-of-origin determination by Nanostring showed that HCV+ cases less frequently had an activated B-cell profile compared to HCV- patients (18% vs. 43%). In all, 86% of HCV+ patients received rituximab-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine (Oncovin) and prednisone (R-CHOP)-like immunochemotherapy. Grade 3-4 liver toxicity occurred in 3% of cases. Among centrally reviewed cases confirmed as DLBCL, the 3-year overall survival of HCV+ patients was very similar to HCV- (63% vs. 61%, p = 0.926). In all, 20 HCV+ patients were treated with direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs), with good tolerance and sustained virological response in all cases. The 3-year progression-free survival for this subgroup was excellent (77%), suggesting DAAs' possible role in reducing the risk of relapse by eliminating the viral trigger.

Abstract
The Elderly Prognostic Index (EPI) is based on the integration of a simplified geriatric assessment, hemoglobin levels and International Prognostic Index and has been validated to predict overall survival in older patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In this study, we evaluated the ability of EPI to predict the risk of early mortality. This study included all patients registered in the Elderly Project for whom treatment details and a minimum follow-up of 3 months were available. Three main treatment groups were identified based on the anthracycline amount administered: cases receiving >70% of the theoretical anthracyclines dose (Full Dose [FD] group), ≤70% (Reduced Dose [RD]) and palliative therapy (PT; no anthracyclines). The primary endpoint was early mortality rate, defined as death for any cause occurring within 90 days from diagnosis. We identified 1150 patients with a median age of 76 years (range 65-94). Overall, 69 early deaths were observed, accounting for 19% of all reported deaths. The cumulative rate of early mortality at 90 days was 6.0%. Comparing early with delayed deaths, we observed a lower frequency of deaths due to lymphoma progression (42% vs. 75%; p < 0.001) and a higher frequency due to toxicity and infections (22% vs. 4%, p < 0.001, and 22% vs. 3%, p < 0.001, respectively) for early events. A multivariable logistic analysis on 931 patients (excluding PT) confirmed an independent association of high-risk EPI (odds ratio [OR] 3.60; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15-11.2) and bulky disease (OR 2.08; 95% CI 1.09-3.97) with the risk of early mortality. The cumulative incidence of early mortality for older patients with DLBCL is not negligible and is mainly associated with non-lymphoma related events. For patients receiving anthracyclines, high-risk EPI and bulky disease are associated with a higher probability of early mortality.

Abstract
Octogenarian patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are managed mainly with palliation, but recent improvement in their overall condition makes potentially curative treatment a possibility. Studies have shown that half of selected octogenarians may be cured using reduced-dose anthracycline chemoimmunotherapy. However, patients aged >85 (late octogenarians–LO) were underrepresented, and selection criteria were poorly defined. We analyzed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of LO enrolled in the FIL Elderly Project (EP) in terms of the treatment received (palliative vs curative) and of their simplified geriatric assessment (sGA), then compared them with early octogenarians (EO) aged 80-84 and with those aged 65-79 classified as UNFIT or FRAIL according to sGA enrolled in the same study. Of the 1163 patients, 370 were >80 and 129 LO. Clinical characteristics were similar between LO and EO, but LO more frequently received palliation (50% vs 23%: P=0.001) and had worse 2-year overall survival (OS) (48% vs 63%: P=0.001) and 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) (43% vs 56%: P=0.01). Patients receiving anthracycline did better than patients receiving palliation (P

Abstract
Diagnostic whole genome sequencing (WGS) is increasingly used in rare diseases. However, standard, semi-automated WGS analysis may overlook diagnoses in complex disorders. Here, we show that specialist multidisciplinary analysis of WGS, following an initial 'no primary findings' (NPF) report, improves diagnostic rates and alters management. We undertook WGS in 102 adults with diagnostically challenging primary mitochondrial disease phenotypes. NPF cases were reviewed by a genomic medicine team, thus enabling bespoke informatic approaches, co-ordinated phenotypic validation, and functional work. We enhanced the diagnostic rate from 16.7% to 31.4%, with management implications for all new diagnoses, and detected strong candidate disease-causing variants in a further 3.9% of patients. This approach presents a standardised model of care that supports mainstream clinicians and enhances diagnostic equity for complex disorders, thereby facilitating access to the potential benefits of genomic healthcare. This research was made possible through access to the data and findings generated by the 100,000 Genomes Project: http://www.genomicsengland.co.uk .

Circulating Tumor and Immune Cells for Minimally Invasive Risk Stratification of Smoldering Multiple Myeloma. Clin Cancer Res 2022; 28:4771-4781.

Abstract
PURPOSE Early intervention in smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) requires optimal risk stratification to avoid under- and overtreatment. We hypothesized that replacing bone marrow (BM) plasma cells (PC) for circulating tumor cells (CTC), and adding immune biomarkers in peripheral blood (PB) for the identification of patients at risk of progression due to lost immune surveillance, could improve the International Myeloma Working Group 20/2/20 model. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We report the outcomes of 150 patients with SMM enrolled in the iMMunocell study, in which serial assessment of tumor and immune cells in PB was performed every 6 months for a period of 3 years since enrollment. RESULTS Patients with >0.015% versus ≤0.015% CTCs at baseline had a median time-to-progression of 17 months versus not reached (HR, 4.9; P < 0.001). Presence of >20% BM PCs had no prognostic value in a multivariate analysis that included serum free light-chain ratio >20, >2 g/dL M-protein, and >0.015% CTCs. The 20/2/20 and 20/2/0.015 models yielded similar risk stratification (C-index of 0.76 and 0.78). The combination of the 20/2/0.015 model with an immune risk score based on the percentages of SLAN+ and SLAN- nonclassical monocytes, CD69+HLADR+ cytotoxic NK cells, and CD4+CXCR3+ stem central memory T cells, allowed patient' stratification into low, intermediate-low, intermediate-high, and high-risk disease with 0%, 20%, 39%, and 73% rates of progression at 2 years. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that CTCs outperform BM PCs for assessing tumor burden. Additional analysis in larger series are needed to define a consensus cutoff of CTCs for minimally invasive stratification of SMM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchiectasis can result from infectious, genetic, immunological and allergic causes. 60-80% of cases are idiopathic, but a well-recognised genetic cause is the motile ciliopathy, primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Diagnosis of PCD has management implications including addressing comorbidities, implementing genetic and fertility counselling and future access to PCD-specific treatments. Diagnostic testing can be complex; however, PCD genetic testing is moving rapidly from research into clinical diagnostics and would confirm the cause of bronchiectasis. METHODS This observational study used genetic data from severe bronchiectasis patients recruited to the UK 100,000 Genomes Project and patients referred for gene panel testing within a tertiary respiratory hospital. Patients referred for genetic testing due to clinical suspicion of PCD were excluded from both analyses. Data were accessed from the British Thoracic Society audit, to investigate whether motile ciliopathies are underdiagnosed in people with bronchiectasis in the UK. RESULTS Pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants were identified in motile ciliopathy genes in 17 (12%) out of 142 individuals by whole-genome sequencing. Similarly, in a single centre with access to pathological diagnostic facilities, 5-10% of patients received a PCD diagnosis by gene panel, often linked to normal/inconclusive nasal nitric oxide and cilia functional test results. In 4898 audited patients with bronchiectasis, <2% were tested for PCD and <1% received genetic testing. CONCLUSIONS PCD is underdiagnosed as a cause of bronchiectasis. Increased uptake of genetic testing may help to identify bronchiectasis due to motile ciliopathies and ensure appropriate management.

Abstract
COVID-19 continues to be a relevant issue among patients with haematological malignancies (HM). Vaccines are frequently not effective in subjects on active treatment. In this multicentre retrospective study of Gruppo Italiano Malattie EMatologiche dell'Adulto (GIMEMA), we collected data from 91 paucisymptomatic HM patients treated with anti-spike neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (nMoAbs) to determine time to viral clearance, referencing it to the expected value of 28 days from an historical group of untreated paucisymptomatic patients. Secondary endpoints included rate of hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, COVID-19 related death and safety. SARS-CoV-2 molecular swab negativity was obtained in 86 patients (95%), with a median time of 18 days (IQR 13-26; p < 0.0001). We did not find significant variations according to age, diagnosis, treatment type, vaccination status or nMoAbs type. Rate of hospitalization due to COVID-19 progression was 12% (11/91), with 2 patients (2.2%) requiring ICU admission. With a median follow-up of 2.33 months, the overall mortality was 5.5% (5/91), with 3 deaths due to COVID-19. Side effects were rare and self-limiting. Our data suggest that nMoAbs can limit the detrimental effect of immunosuppressive treatments on COVID-19 clinical progression and time to viral clearance. The original trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT04932967.

Abstract
Colonoscopy represents the most widespread and effective tool for the prevention and treatment of early stage preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions in the panorama of cancer screening. In the world there are different approaches to the topic of colorectal cancer prevention and screening: different starting ages (45-50 years); different initial screening tools such as fecal occult blood with immunohistochemical or immune-enzymatic tests; recto-sigmoidoscopy; and colonoscopy. The key aspects of this scenario are composed of a proper bowel preparation that ensures a valid diagnostic examination, experienced endoscopist in detection of preneoplastic and early neoplastic lesions and open-minded to upcoming artificial intelligence-aided examination, knowledge in the field of resection of these lesions (from cold-snaring, through endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection, up to advanced tools), and management of complications.

Abstract
219 HIV-negative adults ≤70 years with primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) were enrolled in the randomized IELSG32 trial. Enrolled patients were randomly assigned to receive methotrexate-cytarabine (arm A), or methotrexate-cytarabine-rituximab (B), or methotrexate-cytarabine-thiotepa-rituximab (MATRix; arm C). A second randomization allocated patients with responsive/stable disease to whole-brain irradiation (WBRT) or carmustine-thiotepa-conditioned autologous transplantation (ASCT). First results, after a median follow-up of 30 months, showed that MATRix significantly improves outcome, with both WBRT and ASCT being similarly effective. However, sound assessment of overall survival (OS), efficacy of salvage therapy, late complications, secondary tumors, and cognitive impairment requires longer follow-up. Herein, we report the results of this trial at a median follow-up of 88 months. As main findings, MATRix was associated with excellent long-lasting outcome, with a 7-year OS of 21%, 37%, and 56% respectively for arms A, B, and C. Notably, patients treated with MATRix and consolidation had a 7-year OS of 70%. The superiority of arm B on arm A suggests a benefit from the addition of rituximab. Comparable efficacy of WBRT and ASCT was confirmed. Salvage therapy was ineffective; benefit was recorded only in patients with late relapse re-treated with methotrexate. Eight (4%) patients developed a second cancer. Importantly, MATRix and ASCT did not result in higher non-relapse mortality or second tumors incidence. Patients who received WBRT experienced impairment in attentiveness and executive functions, whereas patients undergoing ASCT experienced improvement in these functions as well as in memory and quality of life.

Abstract
2577 Background: LAVA-051 is a 27kD humanized bispecific single domain antibody (VHH) that directly engages CD1d and the Vδ2-TCR chain of Vγ9Vδ2-T cells and additionally stabilizes the interaction between CD1d and type 1 NKT cells (Nature Cancer 2020;1:1054-1065) to mediate potent killing of CD1d-expressing tumor cells. By engaging innate-like T cell subsets with inherent antitumor activity, namely Vγ9Vδ2-T and type 1 NKT cells, LAVA-051 has the potential to combine high therapeutic efficacy with limited off-tumor toxicity. CD1d is expressed by tumor cells in the majority of patients with CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) and MM (multiple myeloma), while expression in AML (acute myeloid leukemia) is most pronounced on (myelo)monocytic subtypes. Tolerability studies in non-human primates with cross-reactive surrogate bispecific γδ-T cell engagers showed a good safety profile without signs of CRS (cytokine release syndrome). Methods: This is an open label, accelerated titration design, phase 1/2a study in patients with relapsed/ refractory CLL, MM, and AML (NCT04887259). The phase 1 study starts with single-patient cohorts for the first 3 dose levels followed by a 3+3 design. The primary objectives of the study are to investigate the safety and tolerability of LAVA-051 and to determine its recommended Phase 2a dose (RP2D). Secondary objectives of the study include evaluation of PK, PD, immunogenicity, and preliminary antitumor activity. The (flat) starting dose was determined to be 0.45 µg. LAVA-051 is administered by IV infusion over 2 hours twice a week. Results: As of Feb 14, 2022, a dose level of 45 µg has been reached with no reports of CRS (ASTCT grading) or dose limiting toxicities (DLTs). Six patients in total have been treated with LAVA-051; 4 patients (2 MM, 2 CLL) were evaluable for DLTs during cycle 1 at dose levels 0.45 µg, 3 µg, 15 µg and 45 µg. Treatment emergent AEs (TEAEs) (CTCAEv5.0) were predominantly of grade 1 and 2 severity (e.g. fever, chills, and headache). One patient (45 µg) reported a grade 2 infusion related reaction (IRR) that lasted less than 12 hours following the first administration only. Frequency and severity of TEAEs did not increase with escalating doses and all TEAEs were reversible. One patient with CLL developed symptoms consistent with a tumor flare reaction during cycle 1, and continues on cycle 5 of treatment with stable disease at 15 µg. PK data indicate increasing drug exposure in correlation with increasing doses of LAVA-051, and PD data indicate a dose-dependent increase in LAVA-051 receptor occupancy of the Vγ9Vδ2-T cell receptor. Importantly, no consistent or significant changes in measured cytokines have been observed. Updated results will be presented at the congress. Conclusions: LAVA-051 has been well tolerated early in dose escalation with on-mechanism pharmacodynamics consistent with Vγ9Vδ2-T cell engagement. Clinical trial information: NCT04887259.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern (VOCs) emerge for their capability to better adapt to the human host aimed and enhance human-to-human transmission. Mutations in spike largely contributed to adaptation. Viral persistence is a prerequisite for intra-host virus evolution, and this likely occurred in immunocompromised patients who allow intra-host long-term viral replication. The underlying mechanism leading to the emergence of variants during viral persistence in the immunocompromised host is still unknown. Here, we show the existence of an ensemble of minor mutants in the early biological samples obtained from an immunocompromised patient and their dynamic interplay with the master mutant during a persistent and productive long-term infection. In particular, after 222 days of active viral replication, the original master mutant, named MB610, was replaced by a minor quasispecies (MB61222) expressing two critical mutations in spike, namely Q493K and N501T. Isolation of the two viruses allowed us to show that MB61222 entry into target cells occurred mainly by the fusion at the plasma membrane (PM), whereas endocytosis characterized the entry mechanism used by MB610. Interestingly, coinfection of two human cell lines of different origin with the SARS-CoV-2 isolates highlighted the early and dramatic predominance of MB61222 over MB610 replication. This finding may be explained by a faster replicative activity of MB61222 as compared to MB610 as well as by the capability of MB61222 to induce peculiar viral RNA-sensing mechanisms leading to an increased production of interferons (IFNs) and, in particular, of IFN-induced transmembrane protein 1 (IFITM1) and IFITM2. Indeed, it has been recently shown that IFITM2 is able to restrict SARS-CoV-2 entry occurring by endocytosis. In this regard, MB61222 may escape the antiviral activity of IFITMs by using the PM fusion pathway for entry into the target cell, whereas MB610 cannot escape this host antiviral response during MB61222 coinfection, since it has endocytosis as the main pathway of entry. Altogether, our data support the evidence of quasispecies fighting for host dominance by taking benefit from the cell machinery to restrict the productive infection of competitors in the viral ensemble. This finding may explain, at least in part, the extraordinary rapid worldwide turnover of VOCs that use the PM fusion pathway to enter into target cells over the original pandemic strain.

Abstract
Background and purpose: Although chemotherapy, biological agents, and radiotherapy (RT) are cornerstones of the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), the literature regarding the possible interactions of concurrent systemic treatment (CST) and RT is limited, and the optimal RT dose is still unclear. Materials and methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of patients who underwent RT for MM at our institution from 1 January 2005 to 30 June 2020. The data of 312 patients and 577 lesions (treated in 411 accesses) were retrieved. Results: Most of the treated lesions involved the vertebrae (60%) or extremities (18.9%). Radiotherapy was completed in 96.6% of the accesses and, although biologically effective doses assuming an α/β ratio of 10 (BED 10) > 38 Gy and CST were significantly associated with higher rates of toxicity, the safety profile was excellent, with side effects grade ≥2 reported only for 4.1% of the accesses; CST and BED 10 had no impact on the toxicity at one and three months. Radiotherapy resulted in significant improvements in performance status and in a pain control rate of 87.4% at the end of treatment, which further increased to 96.9% at three months and remained at 94% at six months. The radiological response rate at six months (data available for 181 lesions) was 79%, with only 4.4% of lesions in progression. Progression was significantly more frequent in the lesions treated without CST or BED 10 < 15 Gy, while concurrent biological therapy resulted in significantly lower rates of progression. Conclusion: Radiotherapy resulted in optimal pain control rates and fair toxicity, regardless of BED 10 and CST; the treatments with higher BED 10 and CST (remarkably biological agents) improved the already excellent radiological disease control.

Abstract
Purpose Climate seems to influence the COVID-19 spreading, but the results of the published studies are conflicting. Aim of this study was to perform a world-wide investigation to analyze the role of all the main climatic factors (CF), trying to identify the causes that led to the discrepancy of the results. Methods & Materials 134,871 data (from 209 countries) were used for the analysis. These were extrapolated from an initial data-set of 1.200.000 data. To avoid biases present in most of the previously studies, a set of specific requirements was adopted: long observation period (16 weeks), • the use of a relative time scale to synchronize the beginning of the outbreak among the countries, • multiple data collection points (up to 4 cities/per country) to overcome the problem of climate variability within a country, • the use of an appropriate technique to test the relationships among interdependent variables, • the use of a lag-period to compensate the shift between the infection exposure and the diagnosis’ confirmation. Data's analysis was performed with SEM, a flexible statistical technique for modeling causal chain of effects simultaneously. Using hypothesis-testing, this technique examines the relationships between observed variables and latent variables, in turn linked to observed variables, their indicators. With this statistical model it was possible to consider the integrated effects of all the CF on COVID-19 and, at the same time, to investigate the effects of population density (PD) too. Results The results of the analysis showed that both climate and population density significantly influence the spread of COVID-19 (p<0.001; p<0.01, respectively). Overall, climate outweighs population density (path coefficients: climate vs incidence=0.18, climate vs prevalence=0.11, PD vs incidence=0.04, PD vs prevalence=0.05). Among the climatic factors, irradiation plays the most relevant role, with a factor-loading of -0.77, followed by temperature (-0.56), humidity (0.52), precipitation (0.44), and pressure (0.073); for all p<0.001. Fit indices demonstrated a good fit of the model (determination-coefficient=0.826, Root-Mean-Square-Error-of-Approximation=0.088, Standardized-Root-Mean-Square-Residual=0.078). Conclusion This study demonstrates that CF significantly influence the spread of SARS-CoV-2. However, demographic factors, together with other determinants, can affect the transmission, overcoming the protective effect of climate, where favourable.

Abstract
The goal of this retrospective study was to analyze and compare the prognostic role of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (2-[18F]-FDG PET/CT) features and sarcopenia, estimated by CT of PET in elderly (≥65 years) Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL). We recruited 53 patients, who underwent pre-treatment 2-[18F]-FDG PET/CT and end-of-treatment PET/CT, and the main semiquantitative parameters were calculated. Sarcopenia was measured as skeletal muscle index (SMI, cm2/m2) and derived by low-dose PET/CT images at the L3 level. Specific cut-offs for SMI were calculated by receiver operator curve and divided by gender. Metabolic response was evaluated at end-of-treatment PET/CT, applying the Deauville score. Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) were calculated for the whole population and for different subgroups, defined as per different sarcopenia cut-off levels. The specific cut-offs to define sarcopenia were 53 cm2/m2 for male and 45.6 cm2/m2 for female. Thirty-two (60%) patients were defined as sarcopenic. The 3-year and 5-year PFS rates were 29% and 23%, while the 3-year and 5-year OS rates were 43% and 33%. Metabolic response, total metabolic tumor volume (tMTV), total lesion glycolysis (tTLG) and sarcopenia were independent prognostic factors for PFS. Considering OS, no variable was significantly associated. Combination between PET features and sarcopenia may help to predict PFS.

Abstract
Rapid infusion (RI) of the rituximab biosimilar CT-P10 is currently only an approved treatment regimen for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Although both CT-P10 and reference rituximab are known to be frequently administered using a RI regimen (≤90 min) in clinical practice, published data on the safety of RI of CT-P10 in patients with NHL and CLL are limited. Hence, this study collected real-world safety and effectiveness data on RI-CT-P10 from the medical records of 196 patients with NHL or CLL in 10 European centers, 6 months after the date of the first RI (index date); the infusion-related reaction (IRR) rate was compared to previously published data. Ten percent (95% confidence interval 6%-15%; n = 20/196) of patients experienced an infusion-related reaction (IRR) on day 1-2 post-index, which was not significantly different (p = 0.45) to the IRR rate for rituximab described in a previous meta-analysis (8.8%). During the observation period, 2% of patients experienced grade 3-5 IRRs and 85% (n = 166) experienced an adverse event (non-IRR). The most common reason for discontinuation of first-line CT-P10 was planned treatment completion (81%; n = 158). Complete response and partial response to CT-P10 was observed in 74% (n = 142/192) and 22% (n = 42/192) of patients, respectively. The results of this real-world study demonstrate that the safety and effectiveness profile of RI-CT-P10 is similar to RI of reference rituximab and therefore support the current use of RI-CT-P10 in patients with NHL and CLL.

Abstract
Splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (SMZL) is a heterogeneous clinico-biological entity. The clinical course is variable, multiple genes are mutated with no unifying mechanism, and essential regulatory pathways and surrounding microenvironments are diverse. We sought to clarify the heterogeneity of SMZL by resolving different subgroups and their underlying genomic abnormalities, pathway signatures, and microenvironment compositions to uncover biomarkers and therapeutic vulnerabilities. We studied 303 SMZL spleen samples collected through the IELSG46 multicenter international study (NCT02945319) by using a multiplatform approach. We carried out genetic and phenotypic analyses, defined self-organized signatures, validated the findings in independent primary tumor metadata and in genetically modified mouse models, and determined correlations with outcome data. We identified 2 prominent genetic clusters in SMZL, termed NNK (58% of cases, harboring NF-κB, NOTCH, and KLF2 modules) and DMT (32% of cases, with DNA-damage response, MAPK, and TLR modules). Genetic aberrations in multiple genes as well as cytogenetic and immunogenetic features distinguished NNK- from DMT-SMZLs. These genetic clusters not only have distinct underpinning biology, as judged by differences in gene-expression signatures, but also different outcomes, with inferior survival in NNK-SMZLs. Digital cytometry and in situ profiling segregated 2 basic types of SMZL immune microenvironments termed immune-suppressive SMZL (50% of cases, associated with inflammatory cells and immune checkpoint activation) and immune-silent SMZL (50% of cases, associated with an immune-excluded phenotype) with distinct mutational and clinical connotations. In summary, we propose a nosology of SMZL that can implement its classification and also aid in the development of rationally targeted treatments.

Abstract
Normal cell counterparts of solid and myeloid tumors accumulate mutations years before disease onset; whether this occurs in B lymphocytes before lymphoma remains uncertain. We sequenced multiple stages of the B lineage in elderly individuals and patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, a singular disease for studying lymphomagenesis because of the high prevalence of mutated MYD88. We observed similar accumulation of random mutations in B lineages from both cohorts and unexpectedly found MYD88L265P in normal precursor and mature B lymphocytes from patients with lymphoma. We uncovered genetic and transcriptional pathways driving malignant transformation and leveraged these to model lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma in mice, based on mutated MYD88 in B cell precursors and BCL2 overexpression. Thus, MYD88L265P is a preneoplastic event, which challenges the current understanding of lymphomagenesis and may have implications for early detection of B cell lymphomas.

Abstract
Alterations in KRAS have been identified as the most recurring somatic variants in the multiple myeloma (MM) mutational landscape. Combining DNA and RNA sequencing, we studied 756 patients and observed KRAS as the most frequently mutated gene in patients at diagnosis; in addition, we demonstrated the persistence or de novo occurrence of the KRAS aberration at disease relapse. Small-molecule inhibitors targeting KRAS have been developed; however, they are selective for tumors carrying the KRASG12C mutation. Therefore, there is still a need to develop novel therapeutic approaches to target the KRAS mutational events found in other tumor types, including MM. We used AZD4785, a potent and selective antisense oligonucleotide that selectively targets and downregulates all KRAS isoforms, as a tool to dissect the functional sequelae secondary to KRAS silencing in MM within the context of the bone marrow niche and demonstrated its ability to significantly silence KRAS, leading to inhibition of MM tumor growth, both in vitro and in vivo, and confirming KRAS as a driver and therapeutic target in MM.

Abstract
PURPOSE We compared 2 years of rituximab maintenance (RM) with a response-adapted postinduction approach in patients with follicular lymphoma who responded to induction immunochemotherapy. METHODS We randomly assigned treatment-naïve, advanced-stage, high-tumor burden follicular lymphoma patients to receive standard RM or a response-adapted postinduction approach on the basis of metabolic response and molecular assessment of minimal residual disease (MRD). The experimental arm used three types of postinduction therapies: for complete metabolic response (CMR) and MRD-negative patients, observation; for CMR and MRD-positive (end of induction or follow-up) patients, four doses of rituximab (one per week, maximum three courses) until MRD-negative; and for non-CMR patients, one dose of ibritumomab tiuxetan followed by standard RM. The study was designed as noninferiority trial with progression-free survival (PFS) as the primary end point. RESULTS Overall, 807 patients were randomly assigned. After a median follow-up of 53 months (range 1-92 months), patients in the standard arm had a significantly better PFS than those in the experimental arm (3-year PFS 86% v 72%; P < .001). The better PFS of the standard vs experimental arm was confirmed in all the study subgroups except non-CMR patients (n = 65; P = .274). The 3-year overall survival was 98% (95% CI, 96 to 99) and 97% (95% CI, 95 to 99) in the reference and experimental arms, respectively (P = .238). CONCLUSION A metabolic and molecular response-adapted therapy as assessed in the FOLL12 study was associated with significantly inferior PFS compared with 2-year RM. The better efficacy of standard RM was confirmed in the subgroup analysis and particularly for patients achieving both CMR and MRD-negative.

Abstract
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is an aggressive neoplasm derived from plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). In this study, we investigated by immunohistochemical analysis the expression of E-cadherin (EC) on pDCs in reactive lymph nodes and tonsils, bone marrow, and in BPDCN. We compared the expression of EC in BPDCN to that in leukemia cutis (LC) and cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE), the latter typically featuring pDC activation. In BPDCN, we also assessed the immunomodulatory activity of malignant pDCs through the expression of several type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling effectors and downstream targets, PD-L1/CD274, and determined the extent of tumor infiltration by CD8-expressing T cells. In reactive lymph nodes and tonsils, pDCs expressed EC, whereas no reactivity was observed in bone marrow pDCs. BPDCN showed EC expression in the malignant pDCs in the vast majority of cutaneous (31/33 cases, 94%), nodal, and spleen localizations (3/3 cases, 100%), whereas it was more variable in the bone marrow (5/13, 38,5%), where tumor cells expressed EC similarly to the skin counterpart in 4 cases and differently in other 4. Notably, EC was undetectable in LC (n=30) and in juxta-epidermal pDCs in CLE (n=31). Contrary to CLE showing robust expression of IFN-I-induced proteins MX1 and ISG5 in 20/23 cases (87%), and STAT1 phosphorylation, BPDCN biopsies showed inconsistent levels of these proteins in most cases (85%). Expression of IFN-I-induced genes, IFI27, IFIT1, ISG15, RSAD2, and SIGLEC1, was also significantly (P<0.05) lower in BPDCN as compared with CLE. In BPDCN, a significantly blunted IFN-I response correlated with a poor CD8+T-cell infiltration and the lack of PD-L1/CD274 expression by the tumor cells. This study identifies EC as a novel pDC marker of diagnostic relevance in BPDCN. The results propose a scenario whereby malignant pDCs through EC-driven signaling promote the blunting of IFN-I signaling and, thereby, the establishment of a poorly immunogenic tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
The ability of patients with hematologic malignancies (HM) to develop an effective humoral immune response after COVID-19 is unknown. A prospective study was performed to monitor the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 of patients with follicular lymphoma (FL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), chronic lymphoproliferative disorders (CLD), multiple myeloma (MM), or myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative syndromes (MDS/MPN). Antibody (Ab) levels to the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) and spike (S) protein were measured at +1, +3, +6 months after nasal swabs became PCR-negative. Forty-five patients (9 FL, 8 DLBCL, 8 CLD, 10 MM, 10 MDS/MPS) and 18 controls were studied. Mean anti-N and anti-S-Ab levels were similar between HM patients and controls, and shared the same behavior, with anti-N Ab levels declining at +6 months and anti-S-Ab remaining stable. Seroconversion rates were lower in HM patients than in controls. In lymphoma patients mean Ab levels and seroconversion rates were lower than in other HM patients, primarily because all nine patients who had received rituximab within 6 months before COVID-19 failed to produce anti-N and anti-S-Ab. Only one patient requiring hematological treatment after COVID-19 lost seropositivity after 6 months. No reinfections were observed. These results may inform vaccination policies and clinical management of HM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND immunotherapy (IT), including checkpoint inhibitors (CIs) and Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cell therapy (CAR-T) revolutionized the treatment of relapsing or refractory (r/r) lymphoma. Several preliminary experiences evaluated concomitant administration of radiotherapy and IT. METHODS we performed a systematic review of current literature as of March 30, 2020. A total of 1090 records was retrieved, 42 articles were selected on the basis of title and abstract and, after the removal of analyses with no original data or insufficient clinical information, 28 papers were included in the review. RESULTS previous studies were mostly represented by case reports/series or small cohorts. Nonetheless, combination of radiotherapy and CIs or CAR-T led to promising outcomes, resulting in extremely high rates of complete response and improving progression free and overall survival compared with data from recent clinical trials. Combination of RT and CIs had a fair toxicity profile with no reports of severe side effects. Within the limits of the small cohorts retrieved, RT seems a superior option compared with systemic treatment as a 'bridge' to CAR-T and could as well reduce severe complications rates. Radiotherapy could elicit immune response against lymphoma, as demonstrated by multiple cases of abscopal effect and its inclusion in anti-neoplastic vaccines protocols. CONCLUSION The results of this review warrant the evaluation of combination of RT and immunotherapy in larger and preferably prospective and randomized cohorts to confirm these preliminary impressive outcomes. The optimal dose, fractionation and timing of RT still have to be clarified.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elderly classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) (ecHL) is a rare disease with dismal prognosis and no standard treatment. Fitness-based approaches may help design appropriate treatments. Sarcopenia has been associated with an increased risk of treatment-related toxicities and worse survival in various solid tumours, but its impact in ecHL is unknown. The aim of this retrospective multicentre study was to investigate the prognostic role of sarcopenia in ecHL. METHODS We included newly diagnosed >64 years old cHL patients who performed a baseline comprehensive geriatric assessment and high-dose computed tomography (CT) or 18fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT before any treatment. Sarcopenia was measured as skeletal muscle index (SMI, cm2 /m2 ) by the analysis of high-dose CT or low-dose positron emission tomography/CT images at the L3 level. The specific cut-offs for the SMI were determined by receiver operator curve analysis and compared with those proposed in literature and studied in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Survival functions [progression-free survival [PFS] and overall survival (OS)] were calculated for the whole population and for different subgroups defined as per different sarcopenia cut-off levels. RESULTS We included 154 patients (median age 71 years old, 76 female). The median L3-SMI was 42 cm2 /m2 . The specific cut-off derived in our male population was 45 cm2 /m2 ; using this cut-off, 27 male patients (35%) were defined as sarcopenic. After a median follow-up of 5.9 years, the overall 5-year PFS and OS rates were 53% and 65%, respectively, and were significantly shorter in sarcopenic male patients compared with non-sarcopenic (PFS 31% vs. 61%, P = 0.008; OS 51% vs. 74%, P = 0.042). Applying diffuse large B-cell lymphoma-derived sarcopenic thresholds, there were no significant differences between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic patients for both PFS and OS, with a sole exception of a significant reduced PFS in sarcopenic male patients using Namakura cut-off. The comprehensive geriatric assessment-determined frail functional status was an independent adverse prognostic factor for both female and male patients. CONCLUSIONS Baseline evaluation of sarcopenia through radiological examinations performed for ecHL staging may help define a proportion of male patients with unfavourable outcome with current treatment strategies. Also the functional status evaluation could allow to identify a frail subgroup of patients with worse outcome.

Abstract
Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous disease, including one-third of cases overexpressing MYC and BCL2 proteins (Double Expressor Lymphoma, DEL) and 5-10% of patients with chromosomal rearrangements of MYC, BCL2 and/or BCL-6 (Double/Triple-Hit Lymphomas, DH/TH). TP53 mutations are detected in 20-25% of DEL. We report the efficacy of dose-adjusted EPOCH and rituximab (DA-EPOCH-R) in a series of 122 consecutive patients, including DEL (n=81, 66%), DEL-MYC (n=9, 7%), DEL-BCL2 (n=13, 11%), or High-Grade Lymphomas (DH/TH) (n=19, 16%). Central nervous system (CNS) prophylaxis included intravenous methotrexate (n=66), intrathecal chemotherapy (IT) (n=40) or no prophylaxis (n=16). Sixty-seven pts (55%) had high-intermediate or high International Prognostic Index (IPI) and 30 (25%) had high CNS-IPI. The 2-year progressionfree survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for the entire study population were 74% and 84%, respectively. There was a trend for inferior OS for DH/TH (2-year OS: 66%, p=0.058) as compared to all the others. The outcome was significantly better for the IPI 0-2 versus IPI 3-5 (OS: 98% vs. 72%, p=0.002). DA-EPOCH-R did not overcome the negative prognostic value of TP53 mutations: 2-year OS of 62% versus 88% (p=0.036) were observed for mutated as compared to wild-type cases, respectively. Systemic CNS prophylaxis conferred a better 2-year OS (94%) as compared to IT or no prophylaxis (76% and 65%, respectively; p= 0.008). DA-EPOCH-R treatment resulted in a favorable outcome in patients with DEL and DEL with single rearrangement, whereas those with multiple genetic alterations such as DEL-DH/TH and TP53 mutated cases still have an inferior outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diffusion-weighted whole-body MRI (DW-MRI) is increasingly used in the management of multiple myeloma (MM) patients, but data regarding the prognostic role of DW-MRI imaging response after treatment are lacking. The Myeloma Response Assessment and Diagnosis System (MY-RADS) imaging recommendations recently proposed the criteria for response assessment category (RAC) with a 5-point scale in order to standardize response assessment after therapy, but this score still needs to be validated. METHODS We investigated the prognostic role of RAC criteria in 64 newly diagnosed MM patients after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), and we combined the results of MY-RADS with those of minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment by multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC). RESULTS Superior post-ASCT PFS and OS were observed in patients with complete imaging response (RAC1), with respect to patients with imaging residual disease (RAC≥2): median PFS not reached (NR) versus 26.5 months, p = 0.0047, HR 0.28 (95% CI: 0.12-0.68); 3-year post-ASCT OS 92% versus 69% for RAC1 versus RAC ≥2, respectively, p = 0.047, HR 0.24 (95% CI: 0.06-0.99). Combining MRD and imaging improved prediction of outcome, with double-negative and double-positive features defining groups with excellent and dismal PFS, respectively (PFS NR vs. 10.6 months); p = 0.001, HR 0.07 (95%CI: 0.01-0.36). CONCLUSION The present study supports the applicability of MY-RADS recommendations after ASCT; RAC criteria were able to independently stratify patients and to better predict their prognosis and the combined use of DW-MRI with MFC allowed a more precise evaluation of MRD.

Abstract
Objectives: High-dose CT (HDCT) is considered the gold-standard imaging for the measurements of skeletal muscle area (SMA), visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) areas in the abdomen. These parameters may reflect sarcopenia, which can have a prognostic impact in several oncological diseases. The aim of this study was to compare the agreement of measurements of SMA, VAT, SAT and IMAT areas between HDCT and low-dose CT (LDCT) of 18-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET)/CT in elderly patients affected by Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Methods: We retrospectively included 90 patients affected by HL who underwent baseline 18F-FDG-PET/CT and HDCT within a mean interval of 7 days. HDCT and LDCT images were analysed by two blinded observers using segmentation software (Slice-O-Matic, Tomovision) to quantify the areas. HDCT and LDCT measurements were compared using Bland–Altman plots and Passing-Bablock regression analyses. Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was used to correlate measurements from the two imaging modalities. Results: Comparison of HDCT and LDCT data demonstrated a strong correlation for measurement of VAT(r = 0.942, p < 0.0001), SAT (r = 0.894, p < 0.0001) and SMA (r = 0.934, p < 0.0001). Instead considering IMAT, correlation was good but less significant (r = 0.742). The mean difference between the two methods was found to be very small, with a difference of 1% for SAT,+6.1% for VAT,+2.5% for SMA and −1.9% for IMAT. Conclusion: LDCT of PET/CT is a safe, accurate and precise method for the measurements of skeletal muscle area, visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue. Their measurements are reproducible and correlate closely with HDCT. Advances in knowledge: LLDCT of PET/CT is a safe and accurate method for the measurements of SMA, VAT and SAT; their measurements are closely correlated with HDCT. LDCT can be considered an accurate alternative tool for measuring abdominal fat and muscles in the clinical practice.
