Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, Version 2.2024
J Natl Compr Canc Netw. 2024 Apr;22(3):175-204. doi: 10.6004/jnccn.2024.0018.ABSTRACTChronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are essentially different manifestations of the same disease that are similarly managed. A number of molecular and cytogenetic variables with prognostic implications have been identified. Undetectable minimal residual disease at the end of treatment with chemoimmunotherapy or venetoclax-based combination regimens is an independent predictor of improved survival among patients with previously untreated or relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL. The selection of treatment is based ...

Real-world status of treatment for lymphoid neoplasms developed during the course of myeloproliferative neoplasms in Japan
CONCLUSION: Our data indicate that if aggressive lymphoid neoplasms develop during the course of treatment in patients with MPNs, it is acceptable to prioritize chemotherapy for lymphoma.PMID:38626148 | DOI:10.1080/16078454.2024.2340149 (Source: Hematology)

Response to lorlatinib rechallenge in a case of ALK-rearranged metastatic NSCLC with a resistance mutation to second generation TKIs
CONCLUSION: In this case, the first ALK resistance mutation detected after progression on first line TKI, the I1171N, is a common resistance mutation after alectinib and confers sensitivity to brigatinib, that the patient received afterwards with a long-term disease stability. The second ALK resistance mutation detected after a chemotherapy interval, the G1202R, is the most common resistance mutation after second generation ALK TKIs and has been associated with sensitivity to third generation TKIs, such as lorlatinib. This case of a patient with EML4-ALK-rearranged NSCLC shows that sequential treatment with next-generation...

BCL2A1 neoepitopes-elicited cytotoxic T lymphocytes are a promising individualized immunotherapy of pancreatic cancer
J Leukoc Biol. 2024 Apr 16:qiae092. doi: 10.1093/jleuko/qiae092. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConventional treatments have shown a limited efficacy for pancreatic cancer, and immunotherapy is an emerging option for treatment of this highly fatal malignancy. Neoantigen is critical to improving the efficacy of tumor-specific immunotherapy. The cancer and peripheral blood specimens from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A0201 positive pancreatic cancer patient were subjected to next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics analyses were performed to screen high-affinity and highly stable neoepitopes. The activation of cytotoxic ...

Population pharmacokinetics and exposure –response analyses of polatuzumab vedotin in patients with previously untreated DLBCL from the POLARIX study
AbstractPolatuzumab vedotin is a CD79b-directed antibody –drug conjugate that targets B cells and delivers the cytotoxic payload monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). The phase III POLARIX study (NCT03274492) evaluated polatuzumab vedotin in combination with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (R-CHP) as first-line treatment of diffuse la rge B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). To examine dosing decisions for this regimen, population pharmacokinetic (popPK) analysis, using a previously developed popPK model, and exposure–response (ER) analysis, were performed. The popPK analysis showed no clinically meaningful rela...

Cost-effectiveness of axicabtagene ciloleucel for adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma in the United States
The results of a recent single-arm trial (ZUMA-5) of axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) for relapsed/refractory (r/r) FL demonstrated high rates of durable response and tolerable toxicity among treated patients. To quantify the value of axi-cel compared to standard of care (SOC) to manage r/r FL patients who have had at least two prior lines of systemic therapy (3L+), a cost-effectiveness model was developed from a US third-party payer perspective.

Contemporary Challenges in Polycythemia Vera Management from the Perspective of Patients and Physicians
Although polycythemia vera (PV) is a chronic and incurable disease, effective management can allow most patients to maintain functional lives with near-normal life expectancy. However, there remain several inter-related factors that contribute to many ongoing challenges associated with the management of PV, which this review aims to explore. First, as a disease hallmarked by constitutive activation of the JAK/STAT pathway, PV is often accompanied by inflammatory symptoms that negatively impact quality of life.

It can present with isolated disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of salivary or lacrimal glands, but in approximately one-third of the patients, lymphocytic infiltration extends beyond exocrine glands to involve extraglandular organs such as the lungs. Pulmonary complications have been reported to occur between 9 and 27% of patients with SjD across studies. Respiratory manifestations occur on a spectr...
