Background: Effective treatment options are scarce for relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma. This study assesses the safety and activity of CTX130 (volamcabtagene durzigedleucel), a CD70-directed, allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) immunotherapy manufactured from healthy donor T cells, in patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphoma.

Methods: This single-arm, open-label, phase 1 study was done at ten medical centres across the USA, Australia, and Canada in patients (aged ≥18 years) with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, who had received at least one or at least two previous systemic therapy lines, respectively, and had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1.

Purpose: Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) is rare in the Western Hemisphere and is commonly treated with combined modality therapy (CMT).

Methods And Materials: We retrospectively reviewed 35 patients treated with Ann Arbor stage I/II ENKTCL between 1994 and 2015 at a large academic cancer center in the United States.

Results: With 11.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) are the most common subtypes of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). While MF generally follows an indolent course, a subset of patients will experience progressive and/or treatment-refractory disease; Sézary syndrome is an aggressive lymphoma associated with high morbidity and mortality. Although allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) is the only currently available potentially curative treatment modality for MF/SS there is no published guidance on referral criteria, transplant timing orallo-HCT approach.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study identified 23 patients who maintained a complete remission or stage IA status for over 10 years after being treated for advanced-stage MF/SS, with various treatment strategies leading to positive outcomes.
  • * The most common effective treatments included total skin electron beam (TSEB) therapy followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), radiotherapy, and extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) combined with long-term antibiotics and immunomodulatory agents.

Article Synopsis
  • PCSM-LPD is a rare skin-related T-cell disorder, and its treatment often includes various strategies, notably radiotherapy.* -
  • A study of 46 patients revealed that all achieved complete responses, with 94% of those receiving focused radiotherapy responding well, while ultra-low-dose rates also showed high effectiveness.* -
  • Overall, both observation and treatments such as steroids and radiotherapy yield excellent results for PCSM-LPD, with low toxicity reported particularly with ultra-low-dose radiation.*
