Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma rarely presents with circulating lymphoma cells (CL) at diagnosis. Previous studies were limited by small sample size precluding robust analysis. Hence, we evaluated the prognostic relevance of CL cells in newly diagnosed DLBCL patients.

Historically considered a lymphoma with limited treatment options and poor outcomes, the treatment landscape in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has evolved remarkably in the last decade. Chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) remains the primary frontline treatment for most patients with MCL, typically with an intensive approach in younger and fit patients. The role of consolidative autologous stem cell transplantation remains controversial, with recent data further questioning its benefit.

Article Synopsis
  • Pirtobrutinib is a new reversible drug that targets Bruton tyrosine kinase, showing effective results in treating B-cell malignancies with low patient dropout and dose reduction rates.
  • A study from the BRUIN trial evaluated the safety of pirtobrutinib in patients who were treated for 12 months or more, revealing common side effects like fatigue and diarrhea, with most adverse events occurring in the first year of treatment.
  • Overall, the findings suggest that pirtobrutinib has a favorable safety profile for long-term use, with no new significant toxicity concerns reported.

This phase 1b study evaluated safety and efficacy of acalabrutinib, venetoclax, and rituximab (AVR) in treatment-naive mantle cell lymphoma (TN MCL). Patients received acalabrutinib from cycle 1 until progressive disease (PD) or undue toxicity, rituximab for 6 cycles with maintenance every other cycle through cycle 24 or until PD, and venetoclax, beginning at cycle 2, for 24 cycles. Twenty-one patients were enrolled; 95.
