Genetic subtyping by Whole Exome Sequencing across Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma and Plasmablastic Lymphoma.

Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by a limited number of molecularly defined subtypes. Recently, genomic-based algorithms have been proposed for the classification of this disease. The whole exome sequencing was conducted on 108 diagnostic samples of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Spleen tyrosine kinase/FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 inhibition in relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: updated data with mivavotinib (TAK-659/CB-659).

We report an updated analysis from a phase I study of the spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 inhibitor mivavotinib, presenting data for the overall cohort of lymphoma patients, and the subgroup of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL; including an expanded cohort not included in the initial report). Patients with relapsed/refractory lymphoma for which no standard treatment was available received mivavotinib 60-120 mg once daily in 28-day cycles until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity. A total of 124 patients with lymphoma, including 89 with DLBCL, were enrolled.

A multicenter randomized open-label clinical trial for convalescent plasma in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia.

BACKGROUNDPassive immunotherapy with convalescent plasma (CP) is a potential treatment for COVID-19. Evidence from controlled clinical trials is inconclusive.METHODSWe conducted a randomized, open-label, controlled clinical trial at 27 hospitals in Spain.

Phase I First-in-Human Dose Escalation Study of the oral SF3B1 modulator H3B-8800 in myeloid neoplasms.

We conducted a phase I clinical trial of H3B-8800, an oral small molecule that binds Splicing Factor 3B1 (SF3B1), in patients with MDS, CMML, or AML. Among 84 enrolled patients (42 MDS, 4 CMML and 38 AML), 62 were red blood cell (RBC) transfusion dependent at study entry. Dose escalation cohorts examined two once-daily dosing regimens: schedule I (5 days on/9 days off, range of doses studied 1-40 mg, n = 65) and schedule II (21 days on/7 days off, 7-20 mg, n = 19); 27 patients received treatment for ≥180 days.
