Article Abstract

Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is a distinct subtype of large B-cell lymphoma with unique clinical, histopathological, and molecular characteristics. Despite its aggressive nature, PMBCL has a high cure rate when managed appropriately. Advances in the understanding of PMBCL biological characteristics, coupled with improvements in diagnostic tools and therapeutic approaches, have significantly improved patient outcomes in recent years. In this article, we present a set of pragmatic guidelines developed by the Lymphoma Study Association (LYSA) for the management of PMBCL. These guidelines address key aspects of diagnosis, staging, response evaluation, and treatment, integrating the latest evidence from clinical trials, expert consensus, and real-world practice. The aim of the guidelines is to provide clinicians with a clear, practical framework to optimize care for patients with PMBCL, ensuring that the best available evidence is translated into clinical practice.

Blinatumomab is a bispecific T-cell engager that has recently transformed front-line treatment for many patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). It was originally studied in relapsed/refractory disease, then moved to targeting measurable residual disease (MRD), and has since been shown to improve outcomes for almost every age group when added to consolidation chemotherapy. The evidence supporting blinatumomab is most robust in adult and standard-risk pediatric age groups, but its benefit in adolescents and young adults and high-risk pediatric patients is not yet understood.

Background: In autoimmune disease it is not understood how self-reactive B cells escape immune tolerance checkpoints to produce pathogenic autoantibodies.

Objective: In patients with demyelinating polyneuropathy caused by IgM autoantibodies against myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG) and the sulphated trisaccharide CD57, we aimed to test the hypothesis that B cells making the autoantibody escaped tolerance by acquiring lymphoma driver somatic mutations.

Methods: Deep single-cell RNA, DNA, flow cytometric and antibody specificity analysis of blood from three patients with MAG neuropathy.

Mathematical model suggests current CAR-macrophage dosage is efficient to low pre-infusion tumour burden but refractory to high tumour burden.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-macrophage therapy is a promising approach for tumour treatment due to antigen-specific phagocytosis and tumour clearance. However, the precise impact of tumour burden, dose and dosing regimens on therapeutic outcomes remains poorly understood. We developed ordinary differential equation (ODE) mathematical modelling and utilised parameter inference to analyse in vitro FACS-based phagocytosis assay data testing CD19-positive Raji tumour cell against CAR-macrophage, and revealed that phagocytosing efficiency of CAR-macrophage increases but saturates as both Raji cell and CAR-macrophage concentrations increase.

In patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) who are either refractory to first-line therapy or relapse within 12 months, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is more effective than salvage chemotherapy followed by high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) as second-line therapy. Adoption of CAR T-cell therapy into routine clinical practice involves a period of adaptation and refinement of clinical processes. We aimed to document the evolution of clinical processes for CAR T-cell therapy during 2022 and 2023, and compare healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) associated with CAR T-cell and ASCT processes in routine clinical practice.
