Twenty percent of patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) experience progression disease (POD) within 2 years initial chemoimmunotherapy. We analyzed data from the National LymphoCare Study to identify whether prognostic FL factors are associated early POD and at high risk for death.In total, 588 stage 4 received first-line rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (R-CHOP). Two groups were defined: or less after diagnosis those without years, reference group. An...

Axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) is an autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy approved for relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL). Approval was supported by the phase 2, multicenter, single-arm ZUMA-5 study of axi-cel patients with R/R indolent non-Hodgkin (iNHL; N = 104), including FL and marginal zone (MZL). In primary analysis (median follow-up, 17.5 months), overall response rate (ORR) 92% (complete rate, 74%). Here, we report long-term outcomes...
Highlights•Patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) experiencing early therapy failure (ETF) within 2 years of frontline chemoimmunotherapy have poor overall survival (OS).•FL patients ETF receiving autoHCT soon after treatment (≤1 year ETF; n = 123) had higher 5-year OS than those without (73% versus 60%).AbstractPatients (OS). We analyzed data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) National LymphoCare Study (NLCS) to determine whether autologous...
Summary Treatment with dose‐adjusted EPOCH (etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone) chemotherapy and rituximab ( DA ‐ ‐R) has become the standard of care for primary mediastinal B‐cell lymphoma PMBCL ) at many institutions despite limited data in multi‐centre setting. We report a large, retrospective analysis children adults treated ‐R to characterize outcomes evaluate prognostic factors. assessed 156 patients across 24 academic centres, including 38 118 adults....
Lenalidomide combined with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) (R2CHOP) in untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has shown promising activity, particularly the activated B-cell-like (ABC) subtype. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)-ACRIN trial E1412 was a randomized phase II study comparing R2CHOP versus R-CHOP DLBCL.
To our knowledge, this is the first clinical trial designed to investigate concurrent treatment with a checkpoint inhibitor and conventional chemotherapy in relapsed or refractory classic Hodgkin lymphoma patients destined for an autologous stem cell transplant.
Abstract To address the current and long‐term unmet health needs of growing population non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients, we established Lymphoma Epidemiology Outcomes (LEO) cohort study (NCT02736357; https://leocohort.org/ ). A total 7735 newly diagnosed patients aged 18 years older with NHL were prospectively enrolled from 7/1/2015 to 5/31/2020 at 8 academic centers in United States. The median age diagnosis was 62 (range, 18–99). Participants came 49 US states included 538...

8008 Background: Advanced stage iNHL, including follicular lymphoma (FL) and marginal zone (MZL), is considered incurable as most pts experience multiple relapses (Wang, et al. Ther Adv Hematol. 2017), highlighting a need for novel therapies. Here, we present interim results from ZUMA-5, Phase 2, multicenter study of axi-cel, an autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, in with R/R iNHL. Methods: Adults FL (Grades 1-3a) or MZL (nodal extranodal) after ≥ 2 lines...

Abstract Patients with advanced‐stage follicular lymphoma (FL) who progress early after receiving first‐line therapy have poor overall survival (OS). Currently applied clinical prognostic models such as FL International Prognostic Index [FLIPI], FLIPI‐2 and PRIMA‐Prognostic [PRIMA‐PI] suboptimal sensitivity specificity to predict this prognosis subgroup. The primary objective was develop a novel model, the Evaluation (FLEX) score, identify high‐risk patients compare its performance FLIPI,...
