Investigators found that artificial intelligence chatbots did not consistently provide recommendations for cancer treatment that correspond with NCCN guidelines.

Although additional studies are needed, findings indicate that mtDNAfb may be a useful biomarker for future risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Lisaftoclax is a novel, oral, small-molecule, BCL-2 selective inhibitor being evaluated for treatment of relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.

At a median follow-up of 48.7 months, pembrolizumab monotherapy produced an investigator-assessed objective response rate of 41.5% and a 20.8% complete response rate in patients with relapsed/refractory primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma.

microRNAs have shown potential to be used as biomarkers for diagnosing and treating different types of cancers, though their application in doing so had yet to be determined.

Investigators identified a specific subgroup of patients with mantle cell lymphoma who were at higher risk by defining a combination of MIPI, Ki-67, and p53/TP53 alternations.

Due to the assessment of computerized tomography with criteria from 1999, the role of radiotherapy in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with bulky or extranodal disease remains undefined.

The phase 3 S1826 trial is the largest Hodgkin lymphoma study in NCTN history.

Zanubrutinib combined with obinutuzumab was previously granted both Fast Track and Orphan drug designations for patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma.

Irreversible Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor produces positive results in patients with relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma.

Pirtobrutinib is a non–covalent (reversible) BTK inhibitor, demonstrating a 73.3% overall response rate with a median follow-up of 19.4 months among patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.

The recommended addition is based on a uniform consensus that the therapy is an appropriate treatment for this difficult-to-treat disease.

The approval was based on data from 2 studies of blinatumomab in adults and pediatric patients with CD19-positive B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Treatment with lisocabtagene maraleucel led to strong and durable response rates with little serious adverse effects in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma.

In 2018, brentuximab vedotin was approved for advanced Hodgkin lymphoma based on an improvement in progression-free survival of 82.3% in combination with chemotherapy.

A single dose of axicabtagene ciloleucel in patients with large B-cell lymphoma led to significantly higher overall survival and progression-free survival rates, as well as improvements in quality of life and faster recovery in comparison to standard care therapy.

Glofitamab targets CD3, a protein found on the surface of immune T cells in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and CD20, a healthy or malignant protein that lines the surfaces of B cells.

Brentuximab vedotin with nivolumab and standard chemotherapy agents produced a nearly 100% overall response rate in patents with early-stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

The phase 3 S1826 trial is the largest Hodgkin lymphoma study in NCTN history.

Obe-cel is an investigational CD19 CAR T-cell therapy currently in clinical trials for relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Treatment with epcoritamab-bysp showed a 61% overall response rate and a 38% complete response rate in heavily pretreated patients with R/R DLBCL.

The therapy had a clinically meaningful response in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma and R/R mantle cell lymphoma.

In a phase 3 trial, the risk of disease progression, relapse, or death was reduced by 27% with polatuzumab vedotin-piiq plus R-CHP compared with R-CHOP in adults with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or high-grade B-cell lymphoma.

Mosunetuzumab-axgb may be better tolerated by older adults with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma and patients with poor performance status.

According to 5-year follow-up data, the combination of tafasitamab-cxix and lenalidomide produced a durable response in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Accelerated approvals for ibrutinib (Imbruvica) for patients with mantle cell lymphoma and with marginal zone lymphoma voluntarily withdrawn based on data that were insufficient to support conversion to full approval.

Expert notes significant advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma, large B cell lymphomas, and acute myeloid leukemia, during a presentation at HOPA 2023 Annual Conference.

Axicabtagene ciloleucel demonstrated a 2.5-fold increase in individuals with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma who were alive at 2 years and did not experience either cancer progression or require the need for additional cancer treatment.

Since 2014, 10 immunotherapies have been approved by the FDA, including 6 CAR T-cell therapies and 4 BiTE therapies.

At 1 year, patients receiving chemotherapy regimens containing anthracyclines for lymphoma who took statins had an average ejection fraction that was 1.3% higher than those who took placebo.
