Project description:Patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) require additional treatments, especially those not eligible or not responding to high dose cytotoxic chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation. Over the last few years, several new treatments have been developed and approved for these patients, among them of particular relevance are those targeting CD19. Tafasitamab is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting CD19, composed of a modified fragment crystallizable (Fc) region engineered with higher affinity for Fc gamma receptors (FcγR) receptors, leading to increased cytotoxicity through natural killer cells and macrophages (antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis). In this product review, we will discuss its mechanism of action, safety profile and efficacy results from clinical trials that led to its approval in combination with lenalidomide for patients with R/R DLBCL ineligible for high-dose chemotherapy and autologous transplantation.

Project description:IntroductionPatients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) require further treatment options, especially in cases that cannot tolerate stem cell transplant or cytotoxic chemotherapy. CD19 has emerged as an attractive target in B-cell malignancy and is the subject of several therapeutic strategies. The anti-CD19, humanized, monoclonal antibody tafasitamab (MOR208) has an engineered, modified Fc region with increased affinity for Fcγ receptors, leading to increased cytotoxicity via natural killer cells and macrophages (antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis) in a promising approach.Areas coveredThe development of tafasitamab is reviewed, together with the pharmacokinetics and clinical experience of tafasitamab in R/R DLBCL; clinical data have led to FDA approval and inclusion in NCCN treatment guidelines for tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide in this indication.Expert opinionPatients with R/R DLBCL who have failed rituximab-containing regimens may be resistant to CD20-directed therapies; therefore, therapies with an alternative mode of action are of great interest in this setting. Tafasitamab, an anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody, in combination with lenalidomide has demonstrated promising efficacy for patients with R/R DLBCL who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation. This could provide an alternative approach to classical chemotherapy-based regimens in the relapsed setting.

Project description:BackgroundDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous disease defined using a number of well-established molecular subsets. Application of non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) to whole exome sequence data has previously been used to identify six distinct molecular clusters in DLBCL with potential clinical relevance. In this study, we applied NMF-clustering to targeted sequencing data utilizing the FoundationOne Heme® panel from the Phase III GOYA (NCT01287741) and Phase Ib/II CAVALLI studies (NCT02055820) in de novo DLBCL. Biopsy samples, survival outcomes, RNA-Seq and targeted exome-sequencing data were available for 423 patients in GOYA (obinutuzumab [G]-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone [CHOP] vs rituximab [R]-CHOP) and 86 patients in CAVALLI (venetoclax+[G/R]-CHOP).ResultsWhen the NMF algorithm was applied to samples from the GOYA study analyzed using a comprehensive genomic profiling platform, four of the six groups previously reported were observed: MYD88/CD79B, BCL2/EZH2, NOTCH2/TNFAIP3, and no mutations. Mutation profiles, cell-of-origin subset distributions and clinical associations of MYD88/CD79B and BCL2/EZH2 groups were similar to those described in previous NMF studies. In contrast, application of NMF to the CAVALLI study yielded only three; MYD88/CD79B-, BCL2/EZH2-like clusters, and a no mutations group, and there was a trend towards improved outcomes for BCL2/EZH2 over MYD88/CD79B.ConclusionsThis analysis supports the utility of NMF used in conjunction with targeted sequencing platforms for identifying patients with different prognostic subsets. The observed trend for improved overall survival in the BCL2/EZH2 group is consistent with the mechanism of action of venetoclax, suggesting that targeting sequencing and NMF has potential for identifying patients who are more likely to gain benefit from venetoclax therapy.

Project description:Genetic classification helps to disclose molecular heterogeneity and therapeutic implications in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Using whole exome/genome sequencing, RNA-sequencing, and fluorescence in situ hybridization in 337 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients, we established a simplified 38-gene algorithm (termed 'LymphPlex') based on the information on mutations of 35 genes and rearrangements of three genes (BCL2, BCL6, and MYC), identifying seven distinct genetic subtypes: TP53Mut (TP53 mutations), MCD-like (MYD88, CD79B, PIM1, MPEG1, BTG1, TBL1XR1, PRDM1, IRF4 mutations), BN2-like (BCL6 fusion, NOTCH2, CD70, DTX1, BTG2, TNFAIP3, CCND3 mutations), N1-like (NOTCH1 mutations), EZB-like (BCL2 fusion, EZH2, TNFRSF14, KMT2D, B2M, FAS, CREBBP, ARID1A, EP300, CIITA, STAT6, GNA13 mutations, with or without MYC rearrangement), and ST2-like (SGK1, TET2, SOCS1, DDX3X, ZFP36L1, DUSP2, STAT3, IRF8 mutations). Extended validation of 1001 DLBCL patients revealed clinical relevance and biological signature of each genetic subtype. TP53Mut subtype showed poor prognosis, characterized by p53 signaling dysregulation, immune deficiency, and PI3K activation. MCD-like subtype was associated with poor prognosis, activated B-cell (ABC) origin, BCL2/MYC double-expression, and NF-κB activation. BN2-like subtype showed favorable outcome within ABC-DLBCL and featured with NF-κB activation. N1-like and EZB-like subtypes were predominated by ABC-DLBCL and germinal center B-cell (GCB)-DLBCL, respectively. EZB-like-MYC+ subtype was characterized by an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, while EZB-like-MYC- subtype by NOTCH activation. ST2-like subtype showed favorable outcome within GCB-DLBCL and featured with stromal-1 modulation. Genetic subtype-guided targeted agents achieved encouraging clinical response when combined with immunochemotherapy. Collectively, LymphPlex provided high efficacy and feasibility, representing a step forward to the mechanism-based targeted therapy in DLBCL.

Project description:BackgroundCD5-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (CD5+ DLBCL) showed poor prognosis in the rituximab era, with limited research on its genetic characteristics and cell of origin (COO). We aimed to demonstrate the molecular characteristics of CD5+ DLBCL and to discover potential prognostic factors.MethodsWe included 24 cases of CD5+ DLBCL and 23 CD5-negative (CD5-) counterparts and collected their clinicopathological features. Targeted DNA sequencing of 475 lymphoma-related genes was performed, and all cases were assigned to distinct genetic subtypes using the LymphGen tool. The COO was determined by the Lymph2Cx assay. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model were applied to identify the possible prognostic factors.ResultsCompared with their CD5- counterparts, patients with CD5+ DLBCL tended to have a worse prognosis and a higher incidence of MYD88L265P and CD79B double mutation (MCD) subtype (54.17%, P = 0.005) and activated B cell-like (ABC) subtype (62.5%, P = 00017), as determined by next-generation sequencing and Lymph2Cx, respectively. Moreover, PIM1, MYD88, and KMT2D mutations were detected more frequently in CD5+ DLBCL cases (P < 0.05). According to multivariate analysis, MYC/BCL2 double expression and ABC subtype were correlated with unfavorable overall survival (OS). High mRNA expression of SERPINA9 and MME showed a significant correlation with a better OS, and high expression of MME showed a significant correlation with better progression-free survival in CD5+ DLBCL.ConclusionThe genetic profile of CD5+ DLBCL is characterized by PIM1, MYD88, and KMT2D mutations, with a higher incidence of MCD and ABC subtypes. MYC/BCL2 double expression, ABC subtype, and mRNA expression of SERPINA9 and MME are independently predictive of the prognosis of CD5+ DLBCL.

Project description:The role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) proteome in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) pathology, subclassification, and patient screening is unexplored. We analyzed by state-of-the-art mass spectrometry the whole cell and secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs) proteomes of different molecular subtypes of DLBCL, germinal center B cell (GCB subtype), and activated B cell (ABC subtype). After quality control assessment, we compared whole-cell and secreted EVs proteomes of the two cell-of-origin (COO) categories, GCB and ABC subtypes, resulting in 288/1115 significantly differential expressed proteins from the whole-cell proteome and 228/608 proteins from EVs (adjust p-value < 0.05/p-value < 0.05). In our preclinical model system, we demonstrated that the EV proteome and the whole-cell proteome possess the capacity to separate cell lines into ABC and GCB subtypes. KEGG functional analysis and GO enrichment analysis for cellular component, molecular function, and biological process of differential expressed proteins (DEP) between ABC and GCB EVs showed a significant enrichment of pathways involved in immune response function. Other enriched functional categories for DEPs constitute cellular signaling and intracellular trafficking such as B-cell receptor (BCR), Fc_gamma R-mediated phagocytosis, ErbB signaling, and endocytosis. Our results suggest EVs can be explored as a tool for patient diagnosis, follow-up, and disease monitoring. Finally, this study proposes novel drug targets based on highly expressed proteins, for which antitumor drugs are available suggesting potential combinatorial therapies for aggressive forms of DLBCL. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD028267.

Project description:Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by a limited number of molecularly defined subtypes. Recently, genomic-based algorithms have been proposed for the classification of this disease. The whole exome sequencing was conducted on 108 diagnostic samples of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Somatic variants, predicted copy number alterations (CNAs), and available fusion data were utilized to classify the cases. Additionally, the enrichment of mutations in the TP53, MYC, and MAPK/ERK pathways was analyzed. Genetic subtypes were identified in approximately 55% of the cases. Cases with a specific genetic subtype exhibited a significantly higher Tumor Mutation Burden compared to molecularly unclassified cases (Mann-Whitney U test, p = 0.024). The prevalence of subtypes varied according to the cell of origin phenotypes. GC-B type DLBCL NOS were classified as EZB (5 cases, 16%), ST2 (5 cases, 16%), and BN2 (1 case, 3%). Four cases (13%) were genetically composite. Three cases of HGBCL/DLBCL double-hit (MYC & BCL2) were classified as EZB-MYC. Forty-three non-GC-B type DLBCL cases were classified as ST2 (5 cases, 11%), BN2 (6 cases, 14%), and MCD (3 cases, 7%). Nine cases were genetically composite (20%). MYC pathway mutations were enriched in cases with EZB and ST2 genetic features, while they were absent in the MCD subtype. TP53 mutations were identified in 11% of the cases. Plasmablastic lymphomas exhibit genetic diversity, with 27% of tumors classified as ST2. Recurrent somatic mutations indicate dysregulation of the JAK/STAT, MAPK/ERK, and tyrosine kinase signaling pathways.

Project description:The clinical and molecular characteristics of localized diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with single nodal (SN) or single extranodal (SE) involvement remain largely elusive in the rituximab era. The clinical data of 181 patients from a retrospective cohort and 108 patients from a phase 3 randomized trial NHL-001 (NCT01852435) were reviewed. Meanwhile, genetic aberrations, gene expression pattern, and tumor immunophenotype profile were revealed by DNA and RNA sequencing of 116 and 53 patients, respectively. SE patients showed similar clinicopathological features as SN patients, except for an increased percentage of low-intermediate risk in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network-International Prognostic Index. According to the molecular features, increased MPEG1 mutations were observed in SN patients, while SE patients were associated with upregulation of TGF-β signaling pathway and downregulation of T-cell receptor signaling pathway. SE patients also presented immunosuppressive status with lower activity of killing of cancer cells and recruiting dendritic cells. Extranodal involvement had no influence on progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) in localized DLBCL. Serum lactate dehydrogenase >3 upper limit of normal was an independent adverse prognostic factor for OS, and ATM mutations were related to inferior PFS. Although the overall prognosis is satisfactory, specific clinical, genetic, and microenvironmental factors should be considered for future personalized treatment in localized DLBCL.

Project description:Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common hematological malignancy and is one of the most frequent non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Large-scale genomic studies have defined genetic drivers of DLBCL and their association with functional and clinical outcomes. However, the lymphomagenesis of DLBCL is yet to be fully understood. In the present study, four computational tools OncodriveFM, OncodriveCLUST, integrated Cancer Genome Score and Driver Genes and Pathways were used to detect driver genes and driver pathways involved in DLBCL. The aforementioned tools were also used to perform an integrative investigation of driver genes, including co-expression network, protein-protein interaction, copy number variation and survival analyses. The present study identified 208 driver genes and 31 driver pathways in DLBCL. IGLL5, MLL2, BTG2, B2M, PIM1, CARD11 were the top five frequently mutated genes in DLBCL. NOTCH3, LAMC1, COL4A1, PDGFRB and KDR were the 5 hub genes in the blue module that were associated with patient age. TP53, MYC, EGFR, PTEN, IL6, STAT3, MAPK8, TNF and CDH1 were at the core of the protein-protein interaction network. PRDM1, CDKN2A, CDKN2B, TNFAIP3, RSPO3 were the top five frequently deleted driver genes in DLBCL, while ACTB, BTG2, PLET1, CARD11, DIXDC1 were the top five frequently amplified driver genes in DLBCL. High EIF3B, MLH1, PPP1CA and RECQL4 expression was associated with decreased overall survival rate of patients with DLBCL. High XPO1 and LYN expression were associated with increased overall survival rate of patients with DLBCL. The present study improves the understanding of the biological processes and pathways involved in lymphomagenesis. The driver genes, EIF3B, MLH1, PPP1CA, RECQL4, XPO1 and LYN, pave the way for developing prognostic biomarkers and new therapeutic strategies for DLBCL.
