Pan-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibition with buparlisib in patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/mechanistic target of rapamycin pathway plays a role in the pathogenesis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This multicenter, open-label phase 2 study evaluated buparlisib (BKM120), a pan-class I phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor, in patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Three separate cohorts of patients (with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, or follicular lymphoma) received buparlisib 100 mg once daily until progression, intolerance, or withdrawal of consent.

Clinical pretreatment risk factors and prediction of outcome using gallium 67 scintigraphy in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma.

This study was conducted to investigate the prognostic effect and implications of gallium 67 scintigraphy (gallium scan) at mid-treatment and at the end of first-line treatment in patients with early- and advanced-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). A total of 216 HL patients were included in the study. Gallium scan was performed at mid-treatment and at the end of first-line treatment.

Prognostic impact of pre-transplantation computed tomography and 67gallium scanning in chemosensitive diffuse large B cell lymphoma patients undergoing hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation.

Objective: In the present study, we evaluated computed tomography (CT) and (67)gallium scanning ((67)Ga scan) pre-transplant as prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma, undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and stem-cell transplantation.

Patients And Methods: Forty-two patients were included. Of these, 9 (21%) had both positive CT and (67)Ga scans, 17 (41%) negative results with both techniques, and 16 (38%) positive CT/negative (67)Ga scan.

Prognostic impact of pretransplantation computed tomography and gallium scans in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma with poor prognosis undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Background: The present study evaluated computed tomography (CT) and Gallium-67 scanning (67Ga) before transplantation as prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) in patients with relapsed or primary refractory Hodgkin lymphoma undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation.

Patients And Methods: Forty-five patients were included. Of these, 10 (22%) had positive CT and 67Ga scan results, 21 (47%) had negative results of both techniques, 12 (27%) had positive CT/negative 67Ga scan results, and 2 (5%) had negative CT/positive 67Ga scan results.
