Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare, but highly curative form of cancer, primarily afflicting adolescents and young adults. Despite multiple seminal trials over the past twenty years, there is no single consensus-based treatment approach beyond use of multi-agency chemotherapy with curative intent. The use of radiation continues to be debated in early-stage disease, as part of combined modality treatment, as well as in salvage, as an important form of consolidation. While short-term disease outcomes have varied little across these different approaches across both early and advanced stage disease, the potential risk of severe, longer-term risk has varied considerably. Over the past decade novel therapeutics have been employed in the retrieval setting in preparation to and as consolidation after autologous stem cell transplant. More recently, these novel therapeutics have moved to the frontline setting, initially compared to standard-of-care treatment and later in a direct head-to-head comparison combined with multi-agent chemotherapy. In 2018, we established the HoLISTIC Consortium, bringing together disease and methods experts to develop clinical decision models based on individual patient data to guide providers, patients, and caregivers in decision-making. In this review, we detail the steps we followed to create the master database of individual patient data from patients treated over the past 20 years, using principles of data science. We then describe different methodological approaches we are taking to clinical decision making, beginning with clinical prediction tools at the time of diagnosis, to multi-state models, incorporating treatments and their response. Finally, we describe how simulation modeling can be used to estimate risks of late effects, based on cumulative exposure from frontline and salvage treatment. The resultant database and tools employed are dynamic with the expectation that they will be updated as better and more complete information becomes available.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma is characterized by a high cure rate in the modern era of medicine regardless of stage, but patients suffer from a high risk of comorbidity associated with the administered therapy. The main aim of this review article is to assess and analyze the various comorbidities associated with Hodgkin lymphoma and address the survivorship of patients, including fertility, secondary cancers due to cardiovascular toxicity, and quality of life. Furthermore, this review explores the optimal strategy for detecting relapse. The treatment paradigm of Hodgkin lymphoma has shifted, with a paradigm shift toward achieving a high cure rate and low toxicity as a standard of care in this patient population. Checkpoint inhibitors, especially nivolumab, in combination with chemotherapy are increasingly being studied in the first line of therapy. However, their long-term toxicity remains to be assessed in longer follow-up. In conclusion, Hodgkin lymphoma survivors, regardless of their treatment, should be followed up individually by a multidisciplinary survivorship team in order to detect and properly treat the long-term side effects of therapy.

Very late relapse in Hodgkin lymphoma: Characterizing an understudied population. CLINICAL LYMPHOMA, MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2023; 23:838-843. [PMID: 37562990 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2023.07.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Very late relapse (VLR) occurring >5 years after initial diagnosis is an uncommon event in the management of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Limited information regarding risk factors and optimal therapy is available. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed patients treated for HL at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto, Ontario Canada between January 01, 1999 and 31 December 31, 2018. RESULTS Thirty-two patients experienced VLR. Median time to first relapse was 7.2 years. Most patients were treated with CMT both at initial diagnosis and relapse. Male gender (P = .04) and increased age at initial diagnosis (P = .008; HR 1.09 (95% CI: 1.02-1.15)) were identified as risk factors for inferior survival on univariate analysis. Stage, histology, treatment modality and risk assessment at diagnosis or relapse did not have a significant impact on survival outcomes. ASCT at first relapse had no impact on time to second progression (HR 1.72; 95% CI, 0.35-8.53; P = .51) or overall survival from first relapse (HR 1.55; 95% CI, 0.3-8.03; P = .6). CONCLUSION Our data aligns with the limited information available in VLR HL suggesting the negative impact of age and male gender on this rare event. Additionally, our data did not show benefit of ASCT at first relapse in terms of survival outcomes in this population, though this analysis is limited by small sample size. Further study of optimal therapy to prevent and treat VL in the era of novel agents is critical.

Abstract
Despite high cure rates in classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), relapses are observed. Whether relapsed cHL represents second primary lymphoma or an underlying T-cell lymphoma (TCL) mimicking cHL is underinvestigated. To analyze the nature of cHL recurrences, in-depth clonality testing of immunoglobulin (Ig) and T-cell receptor (TCR) rearrangements was performed in paired cHL diagnoses and recurrences among 60 patients, supported by targeted mutation analysis of lymphoma-associated genes. Clonal Ig rearrangements were detected by next-generation sequencing (NGS) in 69 of 120 (58%) diagnoses and recurrence samples. The clonal relationship could be established in 34 cases, identifying clonally related relapsed cHL in 24 of 34 patients (71%). Clonally unrelated cHL was observed in 10 of 34 patients (29%) as determined by IG-NGS clonality assessment and confirmed by the identification of predominantly mutually exclusive gene mutations in the paired cHL samples. In recurrences of >2 years, ∼60% of patients with cHL for whom the clonal relationship could be established showed a second primary cHL. Clonal TCR gene rearrangements were identified in 14 of 125 samples (11%), and TCL-associated gene mutations were detected in 7 of 14 samples. Retrospective pathology review with integration of the molecular findings were consistent with an underlying TCL in 5 patients aged >50 years. This study shows that cHL recurrences, especially after 2 years, sometimes represent a new primary cHL or TCL mimicking cHL, as uncovered by NGS-based Ig/TCR clonality testing and gene mutation analysis. Given the significant therapeutic consequences, molecular testing of a presumed relapse in cHL is crucial for subsequent appropriate treatment strategies adapted to the specific lymphoma presentation.

[PMID: 37673192 DOI: 10.1016/j.autrev.2023.103444] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/03/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
IMPORTANCE Laminin-332 is an important component of the basement membrane. Recently, autoantibodies to Laminin-332 have been described in several autoimmune diseases. Many of these autoimmune diseases have a high incidence of malignancy. The importance of Laminin-332 autoantibodies and its relationship to malignancy is highlighted by using Laminin-332 Pemphigoid (LM-332Pg) as a prototype. OBJECTIVE To identify several autoimmune diseases that have autoantibodies to Laminin-332 present, and to determine the prevalence of malignancy in them. Using Laminin-332 Pemphigoid (LM-332Pg) as a prototype, to compare clinical profiles of LM-332Pg patients with and without cancer. By identifying the temporal detection of cancer, can the influence of autoantibodies to Laminin-332 on prognosis be determined. EVIDENCE REVIEW A literature search was conducted to identify autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in which autoantibodies to Laminin-332 were present. Subsequently, the rate of malignancy in these autoimmune diseases was determined. A search for publications on LM-332Pg patients to determine cancer rates and clinical outcomes to examine if a relationship can be proposed, was performed. FINDINGS Autoantibodies to Laminin-332 were detected in recent studies of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), psoriasis, bronchiolitis obliterans (BO), graft-vs-host disease (GVH), bullous pemphigoid (BP), lichen planus (LP), epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA), and membranous glomerulonephropathy (MGN). A high incidence of cancer rate was reported in these autoimmune diseases including primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), systemic sclerosis (SS), dermatomyositis (DM), multiple sclerosis (MS), immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Data analysis demonstrated that LM-332Pg patients had a higher risk of developing ovarian, uterine, lung, gastric cancers and leukemia. The incidence for breast cancer was lower, when compared with global cancer rates. Patients diagnosed with cancer after the presence of LM-332Pg had higher rates of mortality and lower rates of remission, compared to those diagnosed with cancer prior to the discovery/diagnosis of LM-332Pg. When studied, levels of Laminin-332 autoantibodies correlated with the presence or absence of malignancy. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Preliminary analysis suggests that autoantibodies to Laminin-332 are present in multiple autoimmune diseases, which also have a high incidence of malignancy. Detailed analysis of available data highlights that patients who developed LM-332Pg after cancer was diagnosed, had a more favorable prognosis, compared to patients who developed cancer when LM-332Pg was previously present. Preliminary data would suggest that autoantibodies to Laminin-332 could serve as an important biomarker in certain patients, for correlation with possible incidence of malignancy.

Abstract
The long-term survival of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients treated according to the current standard of care is excellent. Combined-modality schedules (ABVD plus radiotherapy) in early-stage disease, along with treatment intensity adaptation to early metabolic response assessed by PET/CT in advanced stage HL, have been the cornerstones of risk stratification and treatment decision-making, minimizing treatment-related complications while keeping efficacy. Nevertheless, a non-negligible number of patients are primary refractory or relapse after front-line treatment. Novel immunotherapeutic agents, namely Brentuximab Vedotin (BV) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPI), have already shown outstanding efficacy in a relapsed/refractory setting in recent landmark studies. Several phase 2 single-arm studies suggest that the addition of these agents in the frontline setting could further improve long-term disease control permitting one to reduce the exposure to cytotoxic drugs. However, a longer follow-up is needed. At the time of this writing, the only randomized phase 3 trial so far published is the ECHELON-1, which compares 1 to 1 BV-AVD (Bleomycin is replaced by BV) with standard ABVD in untreated advanced-stage III and IV HL. The ECHELON-1 trial has proven that BV-AVD is safe and more effective both in terms of long-term disease control and overall survival. Just recently, the results of the S1826 SWOG trial demonstrated that the combination nivolumab-AVD (N-AVD) is better than BV-AVD, while preliminary results of other randomized ongoing phase 3 trials incorporating anti-PD-1 in this setting will be soon available. The aim of this review is to present the recent data regarding these novel agents in first-line treatment of HL and to highlight current and future trends which will hopefully reshape the overall management of this disease.
