A retrospective analysis aims to define treatment outcomes in patients with mantle cell lymphoma who are elderly or unfit for standard therapy.

The radioimmunotherapy 177-Lu lilotomab satetraxetan in combination with rituximab led to a 100% response rate in a small cohort of patients with follicular lymphoma who were receiving treatment in the second-line setting.

Phase 2 data supporting the use of loncastuximab tesirine in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma published in The Lancet Oncology show the agent inducing a response in about half of patients with pretreated disease.

Results of a study found that ctDNA could provide an immediate benefit for mitigating selection bias in DLBCL-centered clinical trials.

Based on phase 1 and 2 trial results and pooled safety data from several clinical trials, zanubrutinib moves forward with a priority review in relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma.

An observational cohort study revealed that BEAM therapy led to subpar outcomes compared with thiotepa-based treatment for patients requiring conditioning regimens for primary central nervous system lymphoma.

An off-the-shelf cellular therapy that combines Epstein Barr Virus–Specific T cells and a CD30-targeting chimeric antigen receptor product demonstrated safety and early efficacy in a group of patients with CD30-positive lymphomas.

The 3-year follow-up analysis of 4 treatment groups who received CNS prophylaxis found a decreased incidence of CNS relapse for patients with high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, although the data were not statistically significant.

The lymphoma expert discussed how adding copanlisib to rituximab improved progression-free survival, while demonstrating a manageable safety profile in patients with relapsed indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The lymphoma expert offered highlights from the meeting, with hopes that more treatment options will be available for patients with lymphoma.

Data from the phase 2 LOTIS-2 clinical trial supported the accelerated approval of loncastuximab tesirine for patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma.

Patients treated in a multicenter trial experienced a median progression-free survival of 13.2 months with pembrolizumab versus 8.3 months in those receiving brentuximab vedotin.

In a phase 1 study of the innate cell engager AFM13, all 4 patients with CD30-positive, relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma treated with the therapy achieved at least a partial response.

The lymphoma expert discussed how the addition of copanlisib to rituximab may add another treatment option for patients with relapsed indolent B-cell lymphomas.

Even though the safety profile remained tolerable, treatment with lenalidomide plus R-CHOP did not improve progression-free survival compared with placebo plus R-CHOP for patients with activated B-cell-like subtype of DLBCL.

Data that led to the approval of umbralisib in patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma— including follicular lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma—indicates favorable activity of the therapy versus other available PI3K inhibitors.

In a phase 1 trial, the recommended phase 2 dose of glofitamab resulted in frequent and durable complete responses for patients with follicular lymphoma and transformed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma arising from follicular lymphoma.

Combination chemotherapy treatment followed by individualized PET4-guided therapy allowed some patients with unfavorable Hodgkin lymphoma to forego radiotherapy while maintaining efficacy.

A phase 2 trial of single-agent AFM13, a bispecific tetravalent innate cell engager that binds to CD30, will continue following positive results of a preplanned interim futility analysis.

Data in The Lancet Oncology confirmed the standard of care as the optimal dosage to treat patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Data from the phase 2 ZUMA-5 trial supported the approval of axicabtagene ciloleucel, a chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, as a treatment for patients with follicular lymphoma in the third-line setting.

CancerNetwork® was joined by 2 clinicians from Moffitt Cancer Center to discuss why some patients do not respond to CAR T-cell therapy, despite the significant promise of the treatment modality.

Findings presented at the 2021 Transplant & Cellular Therapy Meetings indicate that patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma may benefit from a type of natural killer immunotherapy added to chemotherapy and transplant.

A CASI press release detailed data from a phase 1/2a study examining BI-1206 in combination with rituximab to treat patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Guidelines released by the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer are intended to provide clinicians with the most current thinking on how experts can integrate immunotherapy into the treatment of patients with lymphoma.
