Purpose: The management of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) not eligible for stem cell transplantation in relapse after receiving standard approaches remains challenging, and the search for active and tolerable regimens is still warranted.

Patients And Methods: We have retrospectively analyzed activity of rituximab (375 mg/m(2) i.v. day 1), Ara-C (1,000 mg i.v. total twice daily on day 2) and oxaliplatin (130 mg/m(2) i.v. day 3) (R-ADOx) in 12 patients (median age 69 years) with relapsed MCL.

Results: Patients had been heavily pretreated (median 3 prior therapies, range 1-9) and had stage III/IV disease. Nine out of 12 patients responded (75 %, 4 CR, 5 PR). Median progression-free survival was 9.3 months, and overall survival has not been reached. Adverse events greater than grade II included anemia (17 %) and thrombocytopenia (33 %).

Conclusion: R-ADOx is active and well tolerated in heavily pretreated MCL patients.

Backgroud: The introduction of highly active immunotherapies has changed the outcome of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHLs) in the last two decades. Since then, important progress has been shown using newer and more active immunotherapies, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T), conjugated monoclonal antibodies, and bispecific antobodies, which currently plays a significant role in the treatment of diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL), follicular (FL), and mantle cell (MCL) lymphoma.

Purpose: In this review, we provide an updated overview of recently completed and ongoing BsAb trials in patients with relapsed/refractory(R/R) B-NHL and Hodgkin's lymphoma, including single-agent results, emerging combinations, safety data, and novel constructs.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, highly invasive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The main pathogenesis of MCL is associated with the formation of the IgH/CCND1 fusion gene and nuclear overexpression of cyclin D1, which accelerates the cell cycle, leading to tumorigenesis. The prognosis with current standard chemotherapy is still unsatisfactory.

Significant progress in determining the molecular origins and resistance mechanisms of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) has improved our understanding of the disease's clinical diversity. These factors greatly impact prognosis in MCL patients. Given the dynamic alterations in MCL clones and disease evolution, it is crucial to recognize high-risk prognostic factors at diagnosis and relapse.

Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare type of B-cell lymphoma, which is considered incurable yet treatable. In recent years, the treatment options of mantle cell lymphoma have multiplied, and the focus of treatment is expected to shift from traditional chemoimmunotherapy toward precision medicine. However, this development is hindered by the high costs of targeted therapies.

: Aurora (AK) A/B are oncogenic mitotic kinases that when over-expressed are poor prognostic markers in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). : Alisertib, an AK-A inhibitor, has anti-tumor activity in relapsed/refractory (r/r) MCL patients. We evaluated alisertib plus ibrutinib in MCL to abrogate ibrutinib resistance.
