In patients with relapse of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) after autologous stem cell transplant, brentuximab vedotin and anti-PD1 treatment, the outcome is poor. To assess the efficacy of the bispecific anti-CD30/CD16A, NK-cell engaging antibody AFM13 and to select the optimal treatment schedule (arm A-C), we initiated a randomized two-stage phase II trial (NCT02321592). Due to slow recruitment, the trial was terminated after treatment of 25 patients. Treatment with AFM13 was well tolerated: only two treatment-associated serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported; all SAEs resolved completely. With an objective response rate (ORR) of 16.7% (1/5 in arm A, 1/11 in arm B, and 2/8 in arm C) and a 12-month progression-free survival (PFS) of 12.6% (95% CI 3.2-28.9), treatment efficacy of AFM13 monotherapy in all evaluable patients was modest. The continuous application schedule (arm C) might be more effective, but the visit schedule should be better aligned with patients' daily life.

Objective: Using F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters to differentiate post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) and reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH), and PTLD subtypes.

Methods: F-FDG PET/CT and clinical data from 63 PTLD cases and 19 RLH cases were retrospectively collected. According to the 2017 WHO classification, PTLD was categorized into four subtypes: nondestructive (ND-PTLD), polymorphic (P-PTLD), monomorphic (M-PTLD), and classic Hodgkin.

Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) histologically consists of Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME), but the relationship between TME characteristics and clinical features of CHL remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the effects of the TME structure on the outcomes of patients with CHL. We performed a high-throughput analysis of HRS cells and their topological relationship with the reactive immune cells in the TME.

Childhood and adolescent classic Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) has long been a model for how we balance improved outcomes with increased toxicities in pediatric cancer. The recognition that unacceptable short- and long-term toxicities come with increasing intensity of treatment has led to a decades-long attempt to better understand the patient-specific factors that dictate responses and outcomes. Targeted immunotherapy has emerged as a promising adjunct to cancer treatment; it has been shown to improve outcomes for poorly responding patients, to salvage relapsed disease, and more recently, to replace more toxic therapy modalities such as chemotherapy and radiation while maintaining excellent outcomes.

Background: Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) is an extremely common non-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) defining malignancy and its incidence is rising. CHL is usually present in the lymph node and extranodal involvement is rare. Primary CHL of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is exceedingly rare.

In a previous preliminary study, radiomic features from the largest and the hottest lesion in baseline F-FDG PET/CT (bPET/CT) of classical Hodgkin's Lymphoma (cHL) predicted early response-to-treatment and prognosis. Aim of this large retrospectively-validated study is to evaluate the predictive role of two-lesions radiomics in comparison with other clinical and conventional PET/CT models. cHL patients with bPET/CT between 2010 and 2020 were retrospectively included and randomized into training-validation sets.
