PI3Kδ inhibitor linperlisib combined with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: a multicenter, single-arm phase Ib/II trial.

Background: This investigation assessed the therapeutic potential of combining linperlisib, a targeted inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase delta (PI3Kδ), with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GEMOX) for patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Methods: This was a multicenter, phase Ib/II clinical study conducted across six sites in China, enrolling 39 individuals with histologically confirmed R/R DLBCL. The treatment protocol included oral linperlisib alongside GEMOX administered intravenously every three weeks for up to six cycles.

Prognostic model based on M2 macrophage-related signatures for predicting outcomes, enhancing risk stratification, and providing therapeutic insights in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Purpose: The tumor microenvironment (TME) in lymphoma is influenced by M2 macrophages. This research proposes an novel predictive model that leverages M2 macrophage-associated genes to categorize risk, forecast outcomes, and evaluate the immune profile in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) undergoing R-CHOP therapy.

Methods: Gene expression data and clinical information from DLBCL patients were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases.

Baseline and interim F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters predict the efficacy and survival in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Introduction: The prognostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters, such as metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG), in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains inadequately explored. This study aims to assess the correlation between these parameters and patient outcomes.

Methods: A cohort of 156 DLBCL patients underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging at baseline and after 3-4 cycles of R-CHOP or CHOP-like regimen.

A Phase Ib Study of Linperlisib in the Treatment of Patients with Relapsed and/or Refractory Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma.

Purpose: Relapsed and/or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (r/r PTCL) is an aggressive and heterogeneous hematologic malignancy with high unmet need. Previously, PI3K inhibitors were shown to be efficacious in B- and T-cell lymphomas, but as a drug class, these agents have frequently been observed to have tolerability limitations. Next-generation agents that improve the tolerability while maintaining efficacy are desirable.

Clinical risk factors and Risk assessment model for Anastomotic leakage after Rectal cancer resection.

Background: Anastomotic leakage (AL) is the most serious complication after rectal cancer surgery. Risk factors associated with AL have been documented in previous studies; however, the consensus is still lacking. In this retrospective study, we aimed to identify risk factors for AL after rectal cancer resection and to create an accurate and effective tool for predicting the risk of this complication.

Long non-coding RNA SNHG17 may function as a competitive endogenous RNA in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma progression by sponging miR-34a-5p.

We investigated the functional mechanism of long non-coding small nucleolar host gene 17 (SNHG17) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). lncRNAs related to the prognosis of patients with DLBCL were screened to analyze long non-coding small nucleolar host gene 17 (SNHG17) expression in DLBCL and normal tissues, and a nomogram established for predicting DLBCL prognosis. SNHG17 expression in B-cell lymphoma cells was detected using qPCR.

Acute kidney injury defined by cystatin C may be superior for predicting the outcomes of liver cirrhosis with acute gastrointestinal bleeding.

Background & Aims: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is conventionally evaluated by a dynamic change of serum creatinine (Scr). Cystatin C (CysC) seems to be a more accurate biomarker for assessing kidney function. This retrospective multicenter study aims to evaluate whether AKI re-defined by CysC can predict the in-hospital outcomes of patients with liver cirrhosis and acute gastrointestinal bleeding.

SGK1 mutation status can further stratify patients with germinal center B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma into different prognostic subgroups.

There are over a 100 driver gene mutations in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), but their clinical significance remains unclear. Here, we first analyzed the DLBCL dataset from the UK-based Haematological Malignancy Research Network. Patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups based on whether lymphoma progressed within 24 months.

CAR T cells targeting CD99 as an approach to eradicate T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia without normal blood cells toxicity.

CAR T cell therapy has shown dramatic clinical success in relapsed or refractory B-ALL and other hematological malignancies. However, the loss of specific antigens, cell fratricide, T cell aplasia, and normal T cell separation are challenges in treating T cell leukemia/lymphoma with CAR T therapy. CD99 is a promising antigen to target T-ALL and AML as it is strongly expressed on the majority of T-ALL and AML.
