Project description:A patient with a marginal zone lymphoma received RCHOP and obtained PR. He received RDHAP, autograft, and obtained CR. Three months later, he developed Kaposi's sarcoma with spontaneous regression. Two months later, he developed DLBCL treated with R-MIV with CR. Thereafter, he developed AML and died a few days later.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a newly discovered class of posttranscriptional regulatory noncoding small RNAs that bind to targeted mRNAs and either block their translation or initiate their degradation. miRNA profiling of hematopoietic lineages in humans and mice showed that some miRNAs are differentially expressed during hematopoietic development, suggesting a role in hematopoietic cell differentiation. In addition, recent studies suggest the involvement of miRNAs in the initiation and progression of cancer. miR155 and BIC, its host gene, have been reported to accumulate in human B cell lymphomas, especially in diffuse large B cell lymphomas, Hodgkin lymphomas, and certain types of Burkitt lymphomas. Here, we show that E(mu)-mmu-miR155 transgenic mice exhibit initially a preleukemic pre-B cell proliferation evident in spleen and bone marrow, followed by frank B cell malignancy. These findings indicate that the role of miR155 is to induce polyclonal expansion, favoring the capture of secondary genetic changes for full transformation.

Project description:Burkitt leukemia/lymphoma (BL) and high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL) have a high incidence of central nervous system (CNS) involvement, which is associated with poor prognosis. The hyper-cyclophosphamide, vincristine, Adriamycin, and dexamethasone plus rituximab (CVAD-R) regimen includes systemic and intrathecal CNS-directed therapy to treat and prevent CNS disease. We report here the long-term safety and efficacy of the hyper-CVAD-R regimen in adults with BL and HGBL, focusing on its efficacy to prevent CNS relapse. Among 79 adults (54 BL, 25 HGBL), the median age was 44 years (25% ≥60 years old), 73% had bone marrow (BM) involvement, and 28% had CNS involvement. The complete response rate was 91% (BL 96%; HGBCL 79%; P = .16). The 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 58% and 52%, respectively. The cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was 21% (BL 14%; HGBCL 37%, P = .06) and was associated with baseline BM (27% vs 0%; P = .02) and CNS (42% vs 12%; P < .01) involvement. In multivariate analyses, age and CNS involvement were independent predictors for OS and RFS. The 5-year CNS CIR was 6% (BL 4%; HGBL 11%; P = .31); 16% with baseline CNS involvement (P = .03). Our data support the use of hyper-CVAD-R in preventing CNS relapse, especially among high-risk patients with BM or CNS involvement.

Project description:Adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia (ATL) is a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative neoplasm caused by human T-lymphotrophic virus 1. In its more common, aggressive forms, ATL carries one of the poorest prognoses of the non-Hodgkin lymphomas. The disease has clinical subtypes (ie, acute, lymphoma, chronic, and smoldering forms) defined by the presenting features, and therefore, the clinical course can vary. For the smoldering and lower-risk chronic forms, combinations involving antiviral therapies have shown some success. However, in many patients, the more indolent forms will evolve into the more aggressive subtypes. In the more aggressive acute, lymphoma, and higher-risk chronic forms, the literature supports initial treatment with combination chemotherapy followed by allogeneic transplantation as a potentially curative approach. Recently, mogamulizumab and lenalidomide have shown promise in the treatment of ATL. With better understanding of the molecular drivers of this disease, we hope that the therapeutic landscape will continue to expand.

Project description:Biclonal B cell lymphomas (BCL) of two different low-grade components are rare. Multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) is an integral tool in lymphoma diagnosis and very efficient in picking up BCL cases, especially when the associated second component is small. We studied the incidence of BCL in the routine blood and marrow samples sent for immunophenotyping by MFC. A total of 376 cases were analyzed retrospectively. We studied their clinical, immunophenotypic, molecular, and cytogenetic findings with literature review. We found five cases of BCL with two different clonal low-grade B cell components at an incidence of 1.3%. All cases were males with a median age of 68 years. The chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) clone was present in all 5 cases. The other associated component in cases 1 to 5 were lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, splenic marginal zone lymphoma, hairy cell leukemia, and monoclonal B cell population of non-CLL type respectively. Diagnosing BCL may be challenging and may also go undiagnosed when the second component is petite and overshadowed by the more significant component. It may be critical if the small, unnoticed lymphoma component is of a more aggressive type.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12288-022-01625-y.

Project description:LESSONS LEARNED:Clofarabine can be active in relapsed and refractory lymphoid malignancies on a weekly dosing schedule.Responses were seen in patients with T-cell lymphomas, including cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, but not in patients with aggressive B-cell lymphomas. BACKGROUND:Clofarabine is a second-generation purine nucleoside analog currently approved for the treatment of pediatric relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In adults, clofarabine has been investigated in several phase I and II trials as a single agent and in combination for relapsed or refractory acute leukemia. These studies have shown that clofarabine has activity and an acceptable safety profile in patients with hematological malignancies. In this phase I dose escalation trial, clofarabine was evaluated in patients with relapsed or refractory, low-grade or intermediate-grade, B-cell or T-cell lymphoma. METHODS:The starting dose of 10 mg/m2 per week was administered intravenously (IV) for 3 consecutive weeks every 28 days, and doses were escalated in cohorts of three. The study objectives were to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), characterize and quantify the toxicity profile, and determine the overall response rate of clofarabine administered once a week for 3 weeks and repeated every 4 weeks. Eligible patients were over the age of 18, had a histologically confirmed low-grade or intermediate-grade B-cell or T-cell lymphoma, and must have previously been treated with one standard chemotherapy regimen, excluding single-agent rituximab. The primary objectives included in statistical analyses were MTD, toxicity, and overall response rate (ORR). Four patients were enrolled in cohort 1 (clofarabine 10 mg/m2), four in cohort 2 (clofarabine 15 mg/m2), three in cohort 3 (clofarabine 20 mg/m2), two in cohort 4 (clofarabine 30 mg/m2), and one in cohort 5 (clofarabine 40 mg/m2) (Table 2). RESULTS:MTD was not reached in the study. The most common toxicity observed was myelosuppression. A total of four (29%) patients experienced grade 3 leukopenia, with three (21%) patients experiencing grade 4 neutropenia. The myelosuppression was not considered to be a dose-limiting toxicity, as it resolved within 7 days.Fourteen patients were enrolled: 10 patients with T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and 4 patients with B-cell NHL (see Table 1). All 14 patients received at least one dose of clofarabine and were evaluable for response. One patient with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) had a partial response; five (36%) had stable disease, and eight patients (57%) had no response. The one patient with a response had stage III erythroderma and was treated in the 10 mg/m2 cohort; a nodal complete response by positron emission tomography scan was observed with a partial response of the skin. CONCLUSION:In this study, weekly administration of clofarabine was demonstrated to be safe and associated with minimal hematologic toxicity at doses ranging from 10-40 mg/m2. In prior studies when dosed daily for 5 consecutive days, the MTD was shown to be 4 mg/m2. Weekly dosing within this dose range did not result in dose modifications, and the MTD was not reached. Clinical efficacy was observed in one patient with CTCL who was treated in the lowest-dose cohort.
