The covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (iBTKs) have profoundly transformed the management of B-cell lymphoid malignancies, particularly chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). These targeted therapies, with ibrutinib as the pioneer, have paved the way for significant improvement in the prognosis of many patients. With second-generation iBTKs such as acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib, the therapeutic landscape has expanded, offering potential new options for patients with CLL.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has transformed the care of patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell-derived hematologic malignancies. To date, six CAR T-cell therapies, targeting either CD19 or B-cell maturation antigen, have received regulatory approval. Along with the promising survival benefit, CAR T-cell therapy is associated with potentially life-threatening adverse events, including cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome.

Article Synopsis
  • The FIRE observational study assessed the effectiveness and safety of ibrutinib in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in France, with a maximum follow-up of five years post-treatment initiation.
  • The study included 388 patients and found median progression-free survival (PFS) of approximately 53 months for both retrospective and prospective patients, with no significant difference in PFS for those with or without dose reductions.
  • The most common adverse events were infections, with a notable percentage of patients experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events leading to death, though overall effectiveness and safety outcomes aligned with previous studies.

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

Leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin (Ig)-like receptor 1 (LAIR1, CD305) belongs to the family of immune-inhibitory receptors and is widely expressed on hematopoietic mature cells, particularly on immune cells. Four different types of ligands of LAIR1 have been described, including collagens, suggesting a potential immune-regulatory function on the extracellular matrix. By modulating cytokine secretion and cellular functions, LAIR1 displays distinct patterns of expression among NK cell and T/B lymphocyte subsets during their differentiation and cellular activation and plays a major negative immunoregulatory role.
