Bendamustine as lymphodepletion for brexucabtagene autoleucel therapy of mantle cell lymphoma
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a typically incurable, often aggressive mature B-cell neoplasm. Brexucabtagene autoleucel (brexu-cel) is approved for treatment of relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) based on the ZUMA-2 trial.1 The standard chemotherapy regimen used for lymphodepletion (LD) pre-brexu-cel is cyclophosphamide 500mg/m2 and fludarabine 30mg/m2 (cy/flu) on the fifth, fourth, and third days prior to brexu-cel. Due to a recent fludarabine shortage as well as institutional practice, we employed alternatives to fludarabine-based LD chemotherapy, in particular bendamustine.

Infection risk and antimicrobial prophylaxis in bendamustine-treated patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma: An Australasian Lymphoma Alliance study
Br J Haematol. 2024 Mar 14. doi: 10.1111/bjh.19407. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInfection and lymphopenia are established bendamustine-related complications. The relationship between lymphopenia severity and infection risk, and the role of antimicrobial prophylaxis, is not well described. This multicentre retrospective study analysed infection characteristics and antimicrobial prophylaxis in 302 bendamustine-treated indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Lymphopenia (<1 × 109 /L) was near universal and time to lymphocyte recovery correlated with cumulative bendamustine dose. No association between lymphopenia severi...

Interstitial lung changes and persistent COVID ‐19 in a patient with follicular lymphoma: A case report
Herein, we report a case of COVID-19 persisting longer than 11  months which developed interstitial changes in the lungs that were recalcitrant to corticosteroid therapy. AbstractWe herein report a case of interstitial lung changes in a patient with prolonged coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with follicular lymphoma receiving rituximab and bendamustine who recovered after treatment with a combination therapy consisting of corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents. There is currently no treatment strategy for prolonged pneumonitis following COVID-19, which can be life-threatening for immunocompromised patients. Thus...

Clinical pharmacology strategies to accelerate the development of polatuzumab vedotin and summary of key findings
Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2024 Feb 3;207:115193. doi: 10.1016/j.addr.2024.115193. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe favorable benefit-risk profile of polatuzumab vedotin, as demonstrated in a pivotal Phase Ib/II randomized study (GO29365; NCT02257567), coupled with the need for effective therapies in relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), prompted the need to accelerate polatuzumab vedotin development. An integrated, fit-for-purpose clinical pharmacology package was designed to support regulatory approval. To address key clinical pharmacology questions without dedicated clinical pharmacology studies, we...

Modified R-BAC plus BTK inhibitor regimen in newly diagnosed young patients with mantle cell lymphoma: a real-world retrospective study
AbstractTo explore the optimal treatment for young patients with untreated mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), we compared the efficacy and safety of R-CHOP/R-DHAP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone/rituximab, dexamethasone, cytarabine and cisplatin) and R-BAP (rituximab, bendamustine, cytarabine, and prednisone) plus BTK (Bruton ’s tyrosine kinase) inhibitors in newly diagnosed patients. Eighty-three young patients (≤ 65 years old) with newly diagnosed MCL admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 1, 2014, to June 1, 2023, using R-CHOP/R-DHAP or R-BAP ...
