The infusion autograft absolute number of inhibitory killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) 2DL2 and activating natural killer (NK)p30 cells are predictors of clinical outcomes in lymphoma patients undergoing autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (APBHSCT). To assess if the long-term recovery of these NK cell subsets still holds clinical relevance, we set up to investigate their prognostic ability at day 100 post-APBHSCT. This was a retrospective single-institution study including 107 patients from our prior phase III trial who had a clinical assessment at day 100 post-APBHSCT.

Article Synopsis
  • The standard treatment for fit patients with relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is salvage chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT), but it may not be ideal for everyone.
  • A study of 151 patients showed that while most had good responses before ASCT, those who had multiple lines of salvage chemotherapy or were diagnosed at an advanced stage faced significantly worse outcomes.
  • Median progression-free survival was 54.5 months and overall survival was 88.9 months, with no significant survival difference based on age or other characteristics, although advanced-stage relapse and multiple salvage treatments negatively affected survival rates.

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy is the new standard of care in fit patients with refractory or early relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, there may still be a role for salvage chemotherapy (ST) and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in certain circumstances (e.g.

Introduction: The infusion of autograft Natural Killer Cells (NKC)/CD14 HLA-DR ratio is a predictor of survival in lymphoma patients undergoing autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (APBHSCT). This study evaluated if the Day 100 NKC/CD14 HLA-DR ratio still functions as a prognostic immune-biomarker.

Methods: This was a retrospective, single-institution, cohort analysis including 107 patients in this study that had clinical assessment at Day 100 post-APBHSCT from our prior phase III trial.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and brentuximab vedotin (BV) are novel agents for classic Hodgkin lymphoma, including relapse after autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). However, their impact on survival post-ASCT relapse, in comparison with conventional therapy, is less known due to the lack of randomized controlled trials. Clinical characteristics and outcomes of 115 patients with relapse (or progression) after ASCT are studied.
