Introduction: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive though potentially curable lymphoid malignancy requiring timely treatment initiation. We investigated the impact of individual socioeconomic status and home area-level (ecological) factors on the diagnosis-to-treatment interval (DTI) in DLBCL patients, focusing on extreme delays in a French real-world cohort (REALYSA).

Methods: We analyzed patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL in the multicentric prospective cohort.

Tafasitamab combined with lenalidomide was approved in Europe in 2021 for transplant-ineligible patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Approval was based on the L-MIND study, which demonstrated a 57.5% overall response rate (ORR), 41.

Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN), including myelodysplastic neoplasms (t-MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML), have emerged as significant late complications after CAR T cell therapy. We retrospectively analyzed 539 patients with B cell lymphoma treated with CD19 directed CAR T cell therapy across four French centers. Cumulative incidences of t-MN was estimated with relapse or death treated as competing risk.

Introduction: Over a half of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cases are diagnosed in adults aged 65 years and older. Older adults are a heterogeneous group, and few studies reported differences in care management and survival in the oldest old. We aimed to describe characteristics, care management, and survival of older adults aged 60 and over included in the REal-world dAta in LYmphoma and Survival in Adults (REALYSA) study.

Article Synopsis
  • Advances in lymphoma treatment have made assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) crucial for newly diagnosed patients, yet there's limited information on their HRQoL profiles at diagnosis.
  • A study involving 3922 adults with various lymphoma types utilized three validated EORTC questionnaires to evaluate HRQoL at diagnosis, achieving high completion rates between 84% and 88%.
  • Findings highlighted significant impairments in global health status across lymphoma subtypes, with factors like gender, performance status, and B symptoms affecting HRQoL, providing valuable insights for future research and clinical practices.

Article Synopsis
  • - The phase II trial assessed the effectiveness of the RiBVD treatment (rituximab, bendamustine, velcade, and dexamethasone) in patients over 65 with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), which resulted in a median progression-free survival of 79 months and overall survival of 111 months.
  • - TP53 mutation status and albumin levels were identified as significant prognostic factors, with TP53 mutations linked to a higher risk of shorter progression-free survival and overall survival in the analyzed patient population.
  • - A scoring system combining TP53 mutation status and albumin levels allowed differentiation of patient outcomes, indicating varying survival rates based on the presence of these factors, thus enhancing prognostic assessments

Article Synopsis
  • Real-world data (RWD) are crucial for enhancing clinical trial (CT) findings, but challenges like data quality persist; the REALYSA study, launched in 2018, focuses on newly diagnosed lymphoma patients in France.
  • A proof-of-concept analysis of 645 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) found high data completeness (<4% missing) and revealed good survival rates, with a median follow-up of 9.9 months showing 1-year event-free survival of 77.9% and overall survival of 90.0%.
  • The study also assessed how well REALYSA's patient outcomes matched those from recent phase 3 trials (POLARIX and SENIOR), demonstrating

Patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) have a poor prognosis. Bendamustine (B) and brentuximab-vedotin (Bv) have shown interesting results in this setting. However, little information is available about their efficacy in combination.

Bone marrow biopsies are largely used for the diagnosis and prognostic of various hematological diseases. Complications are rare but can be as serious as hemorrhage. However, little is known about management of patients deemed at high hemorrhagic risk like thrombocytopenic patients or patients receiving antithrombotic drugs.

Purpose Of The Report: We aimed to evaluate the role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in predicting patient outcome following chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cells infusion in aggressive B-cell lymphoma.

Methods: 18F-FDG PET/CT data before leukapheresis, before CAR T-cell infusion and 1 month (M1) after CAR T-cell infusion, from 72 patients were retrospectively analyzed. SUVmax, total lesion glycolysis (TLG), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and parameters describing tumor kinetics were calculated for each 18F-FDG PET/CT performed.
