Impact of circulating lymphoma cells at diagnosis on outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed de novo diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

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.

Evaluation of prognostic factors in patients with high-risk classical Hodgkin lymphoma undergoing autologous transplantation.

There are limited data assessing the risk scores for primary treatment failure (PTF) in patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL; PTF-cHL) undergoing autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT). ECLIPSE (Evaluation of Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma patients wIth Primary treatment failure and analySis of outcomEs) is a multicenter retrospective cohort of patients with PTF-cHL (aged ≥15 years) diagnosed on or after 1 January 2005, at 15 US medical centers. PTF was defined as 1 of the following patterns of failure: (1) progressive disease by imaging during or within 6 weeks of completion of frontline chemotherapy (primary progression [PP]); (2) partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) by imaging after completion of frontline treatment (PR/SD); (3) progression of disease by imaging (and confirmed by biopsy) within 12 months of frontline therapy completion after prior documentation of complete response (CR; early relapse [ER]).

Prognostic relevance of circulating lymphoma cells at diagnosis in newly diagnosed follicular lymphoma patients.

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Circulating lymphoma (CL) cells can be seen at diagnosis in some FL patients, however, previous studies evaluating this have shown mixed results. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the impact of CL at diagnosis on outcomes in patients with newly diagnosed FL using data from a single center.

Postinfusion PD-1+ CD8+ CAR T cells identify patients responsive to CD19 CAR T-cell therapy in non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has revolutionized treatment for relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Robust biomarkers and a complete understanding of CAR T-cell function in the postinfusion phase remain limited. Here, we used a 37-color spectral flow cytometry panel to perform high dimensional single-cell analysis of postinfusion samples in 26 patients treated with CD28 costimulatory domain containing commercial CAR T cells for NHL and focused on computationally gated CD8+ CAR T cells.
