Abstract
Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) is often used as a consolidation for patients with peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) due to the poor prognosis associated with this heterogenous group of disorders. However, a significant number of patients will experience post-AHCT disease relapse. Here, we report a retrospective study of consecutive 124 patients with PTCLs who underwent AHCT from 2008 to 2020. With a median follow-up of 6.01 years following AHCT, 49 patients (40%) experienced disease relapse. As expected, more patients who were not in first complete remission experienced post-AHCT relapse. Following relapse, majority of the patients (70%) receiving systemic therapies intended as bridging to curative allogeneic HCT. However, only 18 (53%) patients eventually underwent allogeneic HCT. The estimated 3-year OS among patients proceeding to allogeneic HCT was 72% (95% CI 46%-87%). Our report details the pattern of post-AHCT relapse and the management of relapsed disease using different therapeutic modalities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) may have a curative potential due to the graft versus lymphoma effect. In this study, we aimed to compare transplant outcomes between refractory-T-NHL (ref-NHL) and Chemosensitive-T-NHL (CS-T-NHL). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 26 ref-NHL and 29 CS-T-NHL consecutive patients who underwent allo-SCT at our center and compared the transplant outcomes between the groups. RESULTS All patients were heavily pretreated with 27% of patients relapsing post-auto-SCT and two patients in the ref-T-NHL post-allo-SCT. Patients were transplanted mainly from unrelated donors. There were no differences in leucocytes and platelet engraftment between the two groups. At 3 years, the relapse incidence was 34% in Ref-TNHL and 19% in CS-TNHL (p = .33), with non-relapse mortality rates of 28% and 22%, respectively (p = .52). Female patients and those with a previous auto-SCT had lower relapse incidence (p = .045, p = .003). The 3-year overall survival was 39% in Ref-TNHL and 56% in CS-TNHL (p = .15). Trends for improved progression-free survival (PFS) and graft-versus-host disease relapse-free survival (GRFS) were observed in the CS-TNHL group (PFS: 60% vs. 30%, p = .075; GRFS: 38% vs. 21%, p = .1). CONCLUSION Acknowledging the retrospective nature of our study, our results indicate that allo-SCT has a curative potential in patients with T-NHL even in refractory status.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) has demonstrated its potential as a curative option for patients with r/r lymphoma. With the introduction of post-transplant cyclophosphamide-based (PTCY) graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis, allo-HCT using haploidentical related donors (Haplo-HSCT) has emerged as a valuable alternative for patients without an available HLA-matched donor. In this study, we compared intermediate and long-term outcomes between Haplo-HSCT and HLA-matched related donor (MRD) and unrelated donor (URD) transplantations in 16 matched pairs using age, disease status, lymphoma classification and performance status as matching criteria. Of note, 88% of patients in each group presented with active disease at the time of conditioning. After a median follow-up of >10 years, 10-year overall and progression-free survival and non-relapse mortality incidence after Haplo-HSCT were 31%, 25% and 38%, respectively, and did not differ compared to the values observed in MRD-HSCT and URD-HSCT. A remarkable lower incidence of acute GvHD ≥ II and moderate and severe chronic GvHD was observed after Haplo-HSCT compared to MRD-HSCT (50%/50%, p = 0.03/0.03) and URD-HSCT (44%/38%, p = 0.04/0.08), resulting in slightly higher 10-year GvHD-free and relapse-free survival (25%) and chronic GvHD-free and relapse-free survival (25%) in the Haplo-HSCT group. In conclusion, Haplo-HSCT is an effective treatment in patients with non-remission NHL. Given its advantage of immediate availability, haploidentical donors should be preferably used in patients with progressive disease lacking an HLA-matched related donor.

Abstract
This study aimed to identify the benefits of autologous-stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT) and allogeneic-SCT (allo-SCT) in patients with aggressive T-cell lymphomas to aid in the selection of transplantation type in clinical practice. This study retrospectively analyzed data from 598 patients who underwent transplantation for T-cell lymphomas from 2010 to 2020. In total, 317 patients underwent up-front SCT as consolidation therapy. The 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 68.7% and 76.1%, respectively. Patients who underwent auto-SCT had significantly better OS (p = 0.026) than those who underwent allo-SCT; however, no statistical difference in PFS was found. Transplantation was used as a salvage therapy in 188 patients who had relapsed/refractory disease. Overall, 96 (51.1%) patients underwent auto-SCT and 92 (48.9%) patients underwent allo-SCT. Auto-SCT improved long-term survival in patients with complete remission (CR). Allo-SCT demonstrated better 3-year PFS in patients with partial remission and relapsed/refractory disease status. However, >50% of patients died within 1 year of allo-SCT. As a consolidative therapy, up-front auto-SCT demonstrated a survival benefit. Auto-SCT was also effective in patients who achieved CR after salvage therapy. If the disease persists or cannot be controlled, allo-SCT may be considered with reduced intensity conditioning.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) offers a possible cure for patients with relapsed and refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) through potentially beneficial graft versus lymphoma effects. However, allogeneic HCT is associated with high nonrelapse mortality (NRM). Fludarabine with reduced-intensity busulfan (Flu/Bu2) and myeloablative busulfan (Flu/Bu4) are commonly used in conditioning regimens for allogeneic HCT; however, data on their use in patients with NHL is limited. We investigated the effect of busulfan dose on outcomes by comparing Flu/Bu2 and Flu/Bu4 in patients with NHL who underwent allogeneic HCT. Our study included 415 adult patients with NHL who received Flu/Bu2 (315 patients) or Flu/Bu4 (100 patients) between January 2008 and December 2019. All patients were enrolled in the Transplant Registry Unified Management Program 2 of the Japanese Data Center for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation. The primary endpoint was the 5-year overall survival (OS). To minimize potential confounding factors that may influence outcomes, we performed propensity score matching. The 5-year OS was 50.6% (95% confidence interval (CI), 39.4%-60.8%) and 32.2% (95% CI, 22.4-42.4%) in the Flu/Bu2 and Flu/Bu4 groups, respectively (p = 0.006). The hazard ratio comparing the two groups was 2.13 (95% CI, 1.30-3.50; p = 0.003). Both groups had a similar 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse (38.2% vs 41.3%; p = 0.581), and the Flu/Bu4 group had a higher cumulative incidence of 5-year NRM (15.7% vs 31.9%; p = 0.043). In this study, Flu/Bu4 was associated with worse OS compared with Flu/Bu2 because of high NRM in patients with NHL.

Abstract
The standard treatment for young patients with untreated PTCLs is based on anthracycline containing-regimens followed by high-dose-chemotherapy and stem-cell-transplantation (HDT + SCT), but only 40% of them can be cured. Romidepsin, a histone-deacetylase inhibitor, showed promising activity in relapsed PTCLs; in first line, Romidepsin was added with CHOP. We designed a study combining romidepsin and CHOEP as induction before HDT + auto-SCT in untreated PTCLs (PTCL-NOS, AITL/THF, ALK-ALCL), aged 18-65 years. A phase Ib/II trial was conducted to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Ro-CHOEP, and to assess efficacy and safety of 6 Ro-CHOEP as induction before HDT. The study hypothesis was to achieve a 18-month PFS of 70%. Twenty-one patients were enrolled into phase Ib; 7 dose-limiting toxicities were observed, that led to define the MTD at 14 mg/ms. Eighty-six patients were included in the phase II. At a median follow-up of 28 months, the 18-month PFS was 46.2% (95%CI:35.0-56.7), and the 18-month overall survival was 73.1% (95%CI:61.6-81.7). The overall response after induction was 71%, with 62% CRs. No unexpected toxicities were reported. The primary endpoint was not met; therefore, the enrollment was stopped at a planned interim analysis. The addition of romidepsin to CHOEP did not improve the PFS of untreated PTCL patients.

Abstract
Systemic peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCL) are a rare and clinically and biologically heterogeneous group of disorders with scarce and generally low-quality evidence guiding their management. In this manuscript, we tackle the current controversies in the front-line treatment of systemic PTCL including (1) whether CNS prophylaxis should be administered; (2) whether CHOEP should be preferred over CHOP; (3) what role brentuximab vedotin should have; (4) whether stem cell transplant (SCT) consolidation should be used and whether autologous or allogeneic; (5) how should molecular subtypes (including DUSP22 or TP63-rearranged ALCL or GATA3 or TBX21 PTCL, NOS) impact therapeutic decisions; and (6) whether there is a role for targeted agents beyond brentuximab vedotin.

Abstract
Previously believed to be an exaggerated immune response and not a lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is now recognized as a rare variant of peripheral T-cell lymphoma with an aggressive clinical course and poor response to current therapies. There is no standard of care for treatment, but the identification of extranodal involvement is useful for prognostic purposes since the involvement of more than one extranodal site can escalate the patient’s risk category on the International Prognostic Index (IPI). Here we present the case of a patient with AITL who initially presented with an extranodal disease in the form of a fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid subcutaneous nodule and probable involvement of the spleen. After two months of treatment, her lymphoma exhibited an escalation of grade and an extensive worsening of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positivity.

Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders arising from mature T cells, accounting for about 10% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. PTCL-not otherwise specified is the most common subtype, followed by angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, anaplastic lymphoma kinase-negative, and enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma. This discussion section focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of PTCLs as outlined in the NCCN Guidelines for T-Cell Lymphomas.

Abstract
Angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL) is a common subtype of mature peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL). As per the 2016 World Health Organization classification, AITL is now considered as a subtype of nodal T cell lymphoma with follicular helper T cells. The diagnosis is challenging and requires a constellation of clinical, laboratory and histopathological findings. Significant progress in the molecular pathophysiology of AITL has been achieved in the past two decades. Characteristic genomic features have been recognized that could provide a potential platform for better diagnosis and future prognostic models. Frontline therapy for AITL was mainly depending on chemotherapy and the management of relapsed or refractory AITL is still unsatisfactory with a very poor prognosis. Upfront transplantation offers better survival. Novel agents have been introduced recently with promising outcomes. Several clinical trials of combinations using novel agents are underway. Herein, we briefly review recent advances in AITL diagnosis and the evolving treatment landscape.

Abstract
OS (3-year) of patients with TCL getting haplo-HCT or MSD, MUD TCD+, or MUD TCD− allo-HCT was 60%, 63%, 59%, and 64%, respectively. PFS (3-year) of patients with TCL getting haplo-HCT or MSD, MUD TCD+, or MUD TCD− allo-HCT is 50%, 50%, 48%, and 52%, respectively.
Mature T-cell lymphomas constitute the most common indication for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) of all lymphomas. Large studies evaluating contemporary outcomes of allo-HCT in mature T-cell lymphomas relative to commonly used donor sources are not available. Included in this registry study were adult patients who had undergone allo-HCT for anaplastic large cell lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), or peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) between 2008 and 2018. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) platforms compared were posttransplant cyclophosphamide-based haploidentical (haplo-)HCT, matched sibling donor (MSD) HCT, matched unrelated donor HCT with in vivo T-cell depletion (MUD TCD+), and matched unrelated donor HCT without in vivo T-cell depletion (MUD TCD−). Coprimary end points were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS); secondary end points included nonrelapse mortality (NRM), and relapse/progression incidence (RI). A total of 1942 patients were eligible (237 haplo-HCT; 911 MSD; 468 MUD TCD+; 326 MUD TCD−). Cohorts were comparable for baseline characteristics with the exception of higher proportions of patients with decreased performance status (PS) and marrow graft recipients in the haplo-HCT group. Using univariate and multivariate comparisons, OS, PFS, RI, and NRM were not significantly different among the haplo-HCT, MSD, MUD TCD+, and MUD TCD− cohorts, with 3-year OS and PFS of 60%, 63%, 59%, and 64%, respectively, and 50%, 50%, 48%, and 52%, respectively. Significant predictors of inferior OS and PFS on multivariate analysis were active disease status at HCT and decreased PS. AITL was associated with significantly reduced relapse risk and better PFS compared with PTCL-NOS. Allo-HCT can provide durable PFS in patients with mature T-cell lymphoma (TCL). Outcomes of haplo-HCT were comparable to those of matched donor allo-HCT.

Abstract
In allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) for adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL), the optimal conditioning regimens have not yet been determined. We conducted a Japanese nationwide, retrospective study to investigate this issue. This study included 914 ATL patients who underwent allo-HCT between 1995 and 2015. In patients aged 55 years or younger, there was no statistically significant difference between reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens and myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimens regarding risk of relapse (vs. RIC group: MAC group, hazard ratio (HR) 0.76, P = 0.071), non-relapse mortality (vs. RIC group: MAC group, HR 1.38, P = 0.115), or overall mortality (vs. RIC group: MAC group, HR 1.17, P = 0.255). Among RIC regimens, fludarabine plus melphalan-based (Flu/Mel) regimens were associated with a lower risk of relapse (Flu/Mel140 group, HR 0.59, P < 0.001; Flu/Mel80 group, HR 0.79, P = 0.021) than the Flu plus busulfan-based regimen (Flu/Bu2 group). Meanwhile, Flu/Mel140 group had a significantly higher risk of non-relapse mortality (vs. Flu/Bu2 group: HR 1.53, P = 0.025). In conclusion, it is acceptable to select a RIC regimen for younger patients. Moreover, it might be beneficial to select a Flu/Mel-based regimen for patients at high risk of relapse.

Abstract
After chemotherapy, fewer than 30% of patients with T-cell lymphoma (T-NHL) are long-term disease-free survivors. Thus, there is a growing interest in allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) and its potential graft-versus-lymphoma effect (GVL) for patient with high-risk or recurrent T-NHL with the aim at providing durable disease control in T-NHL. We conducted this registry study to evaluate the outcome of recipients of alternative donor alloSCT for T-NHL. Patients transplanted with Haploidentical donor (Haplo, n = 41) or Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB, n = 54) were analyzed for overall survival (OS), non-relapse mortality (NRM), relapse, and acute/chronic graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD/cGVHD) incidence. At 2 years, OS and PFS were, respectively, of 59% and 53%, without significant difference between Haplo and UCB. In multivariate analysis, disease status at transplant was an independent risk factor for OS and PFS, and aGVHD III-IV was the main factor for OS and NRM. While no major impact of donor source on survival and mortality was noted, this study suggests that alternative donor transplantation appears feasible and offers benefits to patients with T-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The prognosis of mature T and natural killer (NK) cell neoplasms still remains dismal, despite the advancements in the understanding of the heterogeneous features of these diseases. As allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) is an attractive salvage option for relapsed/refractory patients, we conducted this study to identify those who might benefit the most from alloSCT. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective, single-center, longitudinal cohort study of patients who received alloSCT between December 2019 and January 2000. RESULTS The median relapse-free survival and overall survival were 4.4 and 10.0 months, respectively. Disease control status at alloSCT and number of previous treatments were associated with survival outcomes. The conditioning intensity did not significantly alter survival. CONCLUSION AlloSCT offers a cure chance for selected relapsed or refractory T and NK cell neoplasms, especially when used early and the disease is well controlled prior to transplantation.

Abstract
Peripheral T‐cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a rare, heterogeneous group of hematological malignancies with extremely poor prognosis for almost all subtypes. The diverse clinicopathological features of PTCLs make accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and choice of optimal treatment strategies difficult. Moreover, the best therapeutic algorithms are still under debate due to the extrapolated approaches developed for B‐cell lymphomas and to the absence of few treatment protocol specifically developed for PTCLs. Some advances have been made with CD30 monoclonal antibody, mainly for anaplastic large‐cell lymphomas, with improvements in progression‐free survival and overall survival. Several new drugs are under evaluation in clinical trials, although not all the results are as encouraging as expected. In this review, we briefly present the most updated information on diagnosis, prognostication, and treatment strategies in PTCLs.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is an advisable option for refractory or relapsed peripheral T-cell lymphoma (R/R-PTCL), but whether allogeneic HSCT or autologous HSCT is more beneficial is unknown. OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness and safety of allogeneic HSCT vs autologous HSCT in patients with R/R-PTCL. DATA SOURCES A systematic search of the PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Wanfang, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases with the search items refractory or relapsed peripheral T-cell lymphoma, ASCT/autologous stem-cell transplantation, allo-HSCT/allogeneic stem-cell transplantation, therapeutic effect, and treatment was conducted for articles published from January 12, 2001, to October 1, 2020. STUDY SELECTION After duplicate and irrelevant publications were discarded, 329 were ineligible according to the inclusion (clinical trials or retrospective studies with >10 samples) and exclusion criteria (articles without overall survival [OS], progression-free survival [PFS], and transplantation-related mortality [TRM]). Thirty trials were included in the meta-analysis. The study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guideline. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Data on study design, individual characteristics, and outcomes were extracted. All statistics were pooled by applying a random-effects model. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The prespecified main outcomes were OS, PFS, and TRM. RESULTS Of 6548 articles, data extracted from the 30 studies (including 880 patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT and 885 who underwent autologous HSCT) were included in this meta-analysis. In the allogeneic HSCT group, a 3-year OS of 50% (95% CI, 41%-60%) and PFS of 42% (95% CI, 35%-51%), a 5-year OS of 54% (95% CI, 47%-62%) and PFS of 48% (95% CI, 40%-56%), and a 3-year TRM of 32% (95% CI, 27%-37%) were observed. In the autologous HSCT group, a 3-year OS of 55% (95% CI, 48%-64%) and PFS of 41% (95% CI, 33%-51%), a 5-year OS of 53% (95% CI, 44%-64%) and PFS of 40% (95% CI, 24%-58%), and a 3-year TRM of 7% (95% CI, 2%-23%) were observed. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this systematic review and meta-analysis, OS and PFS were similar in the allogeneic HSCT and autologous HSCT groups; however, allogeneic HSCT was associated with specific survival benefits among patients with R/R-PTCL.

Abstract
Mature T and natural killer (NK) cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (T-NHL) has a poor prognosis. Data from existing retrospective and prospective studies have suggested that high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT) may improve the survival in patients with chemosensitive disease, either in the upfront or salvage setting. Auto-HCT is currently recommended to be used as frontline consolidation in peripheral T cell lymphoma not otherwise specified, angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma, anaplastic large cell lymphoma-anaplastic lymphoma kinase negative, NK/T cell (disseminated), and enteropathy-associated T cell lymphoma. However, about one-third of patients never reach transplantation because of early relapse or refractory disease. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT), via its immunologic graft-versus-lymphoma effect, has been used to salvage patients with relapsed or refractory disease, resulting in long-term disease-free survival in a fraction of patients. However, the higher risk of transplant-related mortality due to regimen-related toxicities, graft-versus-host disease, and post-transplant infectious complications continues to limit the mainstream adoption of allo-HCT for this disease. Despite that, allo-HCT has been incorporated as part of the frontline treatment for aggressive subtypes of T-NHL, such as γδ T cell lymphoma and aggressive NK cell leukemia. Recent attempts to incorporate novel targeted T cell directed therapies into the treatment pathway of T-NHL may enhance treatment response and enable more patients to reach transplant, offering an alternative means of treating this disease.

Abstract
Despite the remarkable improvements in the treatment and outcome of patients with aggressive B-cell lymphoma, the peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) continue to carry a poor prognosis with the presently available treatment options. The PTCL are very rare diseases that account for only 10,000 to 15,000 new cases per year in the United States. The World Health Organization's 2016 classification describes 29 distinct subtypes of PTCL, thus making these both rate and incredibly heterogenous. The 2 most common forms of PTCL, for example, peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma , have an incidence of only 2500 and 1800 cases per year respectively, in the United States.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases and represent approximately 10-15% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Multiagent chemotherapy with a CHOP (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, prednisone)-like regimen is the current standard of care in the frontline setting, but outcomes for PTCL patients generally remain poor. Strategies used to improve survival and reduce the risk of relapse in PTCL patients include autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (autoHCT) and allogeneic HCT (alloHCT). Due to the relative rarity of these diseases, the evidence supporting the use of autoHCT and alloHCT is based on retrospective and single-arm prospective studies. Novel targeted therapies are now being incorporated into the treatment of PTCL, and they may play important roles in improving upon current standards of care. Herein, we summarize the evidence supporting HCT for the treatment of the most common PTCL histologic subtypes and highlight novel treatment strategies aimed at improving outcomes for these patients, including cutting-edge approaches using chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T). RECENT FINDINGS Given recent improvements in OS and PFS in CD30+ PTCL using the drug-antibody conjugate brentuximab vedotin (BV), new questions arise regarding the impact of BV on consolidative autoHCT, and its role as a maintenance therapy. Multiple histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) have been approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory PTCL, and these agents are being incorporated into HCT approaches, both in the frontline and maintenance settings. Early data incorporating these agents into novel conditioning regimens have been reported, and emerging evidence from recent trials suggests that CART cell therapies may prove effective in relapsed/refractory PTCL. The recommended treatment strategy in non-ALK+ PTCL remains induction with a CHOP-like regimen followed by consolidative autoHCT in first remission. In the relapsed/refractory setting, salvage chemotherapy followed by HCT (autoHCT or alloHCT depending on histologic subtype and HCT history) offers the only potential for cure or long-term remission. Ample room for improvement remains in the treatment of patients with PTCL, and novel treatment strategies incorporating targeted agents and CAR-T therapy may help to address the unmet needs of this patient population.

Abstract
We report the outcome of 68 patients with advanced peripheral T-cell lymphoma receiving transplantation from haploidentical or from conventional donors. The 4-year OS, PFS, 2-year cumulative incidence of relapse and 2-year GRFS was 75%, 70%, 21%, and 51%, respectively. Survival was not affected by donor type. The 2-year NRM was 9%, lower after related or haploidentical donor (21% vs 0% vs 7%; p = 0.06). Grade 2-4 aGVHD cumulative incidence was significantly different after transplantation from haploidentical vs matched sibling vs unrelated donor, and (24% vs 35% vs 58%, p = 0.024). The familial donor cohort was compared to the unrelated cohort. Familial donor induced less grade 2-4 aGVHD, with a trend to less grade 3-4 aGVHD or moderate-severe cGVHD. The OS and PFS were not different, while the relapse risk and NRM were reduced. Allo-SCT is highly effective in T-cell lymphoma, with low NRM and low relapse rate. The incidence of aGVHD was lower after haploidentical transplantation. Related donor may challenge unrelated transplant reducing the risk of relapse and NRM.

Abstract
Simple Summary The role of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the management of peripheral T-cell lymphomas is not clearly defined and therapeutic decisions vary widely across different institutions. This review examines the current body of evidence to best delineate the role and timing of transplantation in an era where diagnostic techniques and targeted therapies are rapidly evolving. Abstract Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are distinct pathological entities with clinical advancements lagging behind their B-cell lymphoma counterpart. Frequently aggressive in their clinical behaviour, clinicians are constantly challenged with low complete remission rates, early relapses and failure to achieve long-term responses despite aggressive first-line chemotherapy, resulting in poor overall survival in the majority of patients. There is currently no consensus regarding the optimal therapy for PTCL and treatment approaches are mainly derived from prospective phase II studies, registry data and retrospective studies. Despite its biological heterogeneity, a less than satisfactory “one-size-fits-all” approach has been adopted to date. Although its role remains controversial, for many years, haematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been adopted by clinicians with the aim of overcoming poor outcomes by consolidating responses. In this review, we aim to define the role of both autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation in PTCL in both frontline and salvage settings, especially in the context of recent advancements in this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral T cell lymphomas form a heterogeneous group with a usually dismal prognostic. The place of allogeneic stem cell transplantation to treat PTCL is debated. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), relapse, and transplant-related mortality (TRM) and associated variables in 285 adults with non-primary cutaneous PTCL (PCTL-NOS (39%), angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphomas (29%), anaplastic T cell lymphomas (15%), and other subtypes (17%)), who received alloSCT in 34 centers between 2006 and 2014. RESULTS AlloSCT was given as part of front-line therapy (n = 138) to 93 patients in first complete response (CR) and 45 in first partial response (PR), and of salvage therapy (n = 147) to 116 patients for second or more CR/PR and 31 for progressive disease. Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) was given to 172 patients (62%), while 107 (38%) received myeloablative conditioning (MAC). The median follow-up was 72.4 months. The 2- and 4-year OS were 65% and 59%, respectively, and the cumulative incidence of relapse was 18% after 1 year and 19% after 2 years. TRM was 21% at 1 year, 24% after 2 years, and 28% after 4 years. In multivariate analysis, grade III-IV acute GvHD (HR = 2.57, 95% CI 1.53-4.31; p = 0.00036), low Karnofsky score < 80% (HR = 5.14, 95% CI 2.02-13.06; p = 0.00058), and progressive disease status before transplant (HR = 2.21, 95% CI 1.25-3.89; p = 0.0062) were significantly associated with a reduced OS. CONCLUSIONS The data demonstrate in the largest retrospective cohort of non-cutaneous PTCL so far reported that alloSCT after RIC or MAC is an effective strategy, even in chemoresistant patients.

Abstract
The effects of stem cell transplantation (SCT) in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) remain controversial. We analyzed the feasibility of SCT and risk factors associated with outcomes of PTCL-NOS and AITL patients to identify the potential clinical efficacy of SCT. We retrospectively analyzed the data of PTCL-NOS (n = 83) and AITL (n = 112) patients who received autologous (n = 10 and 16, respectively) or allogeneic (n = 12 and 4, respectively) SCT, or no SCT (n = 61 and 92, respectively) between 2008 and 2018. All PTCL-NOS and AITL diagnoses were reconfirmed by an experienced hematopathologist. Median age at PTCL-NOS and AITL diagnoses in the SCT group was younger than that in the no SCT group. Significant risk factors for lower overall survival were intermediate-high and high-risk international prognostic indexes in PTCL-NOS patients (P = 0.0052), and a > 2 modified prognostic index for T-cell lymphoma (P = 0.0079) and no SCT (P = 0.028) in AITL patients. Autologous or allogeneic SCT compared with no SCT in AITL patients resulted in 3-year overall survival of 68.6% and 100% vs. 57.2% (P = 0.018). Strategies should be developed to improve selection of PTCL-NOS and AITL patients suitable for SCT and/or additional novel therapies.

Abstract
Historical advances in the care of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) have been restricted largely to patients with B-cell lymphoma. The peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs), which are rare and heterogeneous in nature, have yet to experience the same degree of improvement in outcome over the past 20 to 30 years. It is estimated that there are approximately 80,000 and 14,000 cases, respectively, of NHL and Hodgkin lymphoma per year in the United States. As a subgroup of NHL, the PTCLs account for 6% to 10% of all cases of NHL, making them exceedingly rare. In addition, the World Health Organization 2017 classification describes 29 distinct subtypes of PTCL. This intrinsic diversity, coupled with its rarity, has stymied progress in the disease. In addition, most subtypes carry an inferior prognosis compared with their B-cell counterparts, an outcome largely attributed to the fact that most treatment paradigms for patients with PTCL have been derived from B-cell neoplasms, a radically different disease. In fact, the first drug ever approved for patients with PTCL was approved only a decade ago. The plethora of recent drug approvals in PTCL, coupled with a deeper understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of the disease, has stimulated the field to pursue new avenues of research that are now largely predicated on the development of novel, targeted small molecules, which include a host of epigenetic modifiers and biologics. There is an expectation these advances may begin to favorably challenge the chemotherapy paradigms that have been used in the T-cell malignancies.

Abstract
T-cell lymphomas comprise 10% to 15% of all lymphoid malignancies and affect precursor or mature T cells; the latter are referred to as peripheral T-cell lymphomas. We present a case of a subtype, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, in which a patient previously treated with chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant relapsed with B symptoms and large pericardial/pleural effusions. Recurrent lymphoma was confirmed on pericardial tissue biopsy. Treatment was trialed with lenalidomide and the effusions resolved. Five months later she died from septic shock and multiorgan failure. Our case highlights the need for rapid evaluation of B symptoms and/or new effusions in patients with a known history of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
Background There is a paucity of data on the role of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) in patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). Using the CIBMTR registry, we report here the outcomes of AITL patients undergoing an allo-HCT. Methods We evaluated 249 adult AITL patients who received their first allo-HCT during 2000–2016. Results The median patient age was 56 years (range = 21–77). Majority of the patients were Caucasians (86%), with a male predominance (60%). Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was predominantly calcineurin inhibitor-based approaches while the most common graft source was peripheral blood (97%). Median follow-up of survivors was 49 months (range = 4–170 months). The cumulative incidence of grade 2–4 and grade 3–4 acute GVHD at day 180 were 36% (95% CI = 30–42) and 12 (95% CI = 8–17), respectively. The cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD at 1 year was 49% (95%CI 43–56). The 1-year non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 19% (95% CI = 14–24), while the 4-year relapse/progression, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were 21% (95% CI = 16–27), 49% (95% CI = 42–56), and 56% (95% CI = 49–63), respectively. On multivariate analysis, chemoresistant status at the time of allo-HCT was associated with a significantly higher risk for therapy failure (inverse of PFS) (RR = 1.73 95% CI = 1.08–2.77), while KPS < 90% was associated with a significantly higher risk of mortality (inverse of OS) (RR = 3.46 95% CI = 1.75–6.87). Conclusion Our analysis shows that allo-HCT provides durable disease control even in AITL patients who failed a prior auto-HCT and in those subjects with refractory disease at the time of allografting.

Abstract
Mature T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (T-cell NHL) are a heterogeneous group of lymphoid malignancies including NK/T-cell lymphomas. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an important component of the management of T-cell NHL; however, the optimal timing and type of transplant for each different subtype is an ongoing debate. For the purpose of this chapter, PTCL will be classified as (1) systemic PTCL that includes nodal as well as non-nodal histologies in PTCL (2) CTCL-or cutaneous T-cell lymphomas that arise primarily in the skin and (3) NK/T-cell lymphomas both nasal and extranasal types. It is difficult to do any large trials in PTCL as they are rare diseases with variable clinical and biological characteristics and most patients are not transplant eligible due to various reasons including poor disease control. There are no randomized trials in transplant for PTCL but there is an experience based on retrospective as well as some well-designed prospective trials that have helped outline the role of HSCT in the treatment paradigm of PTCL. High-dose therapy and autologous HCT is recommended in first complete remission for most systemic (non-cutaneous) nodal subtypes, or peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL). Autologous HCT can provide long-term remission for relapsed PTCL but is ineffective for refractory/chemoresistant disease. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation harnesses the graft-versus-lymphoma effect, providing long-term remission for relapsed PTCL. AlloHCT is also being used successfully to provide long-term disease control for advanced cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). The use of transplant in NK/T-cell lymphoma is increasingly being recommended in the relapsed setting only as there are more effective treatments available for the upfront setting in limited stage disease.

Abstract
Objective: Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) confer dismal prognosis and no consensus has been established on the role of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) due to its rarity and heterogeneity. The purpose was to review key points of allo-HSCT for PTCLs, including indication, times of transplantation, conditioning regimen, graft versus host disease prophylaxis, and treatment of relapse. Data Sources: A comprehensive search in PubMed and Cochrane up to February 28, 2018, with the keywords “Peripheral”, “T”, “Lymphoma”, and “Transplantation” was done. Study Selection: Relevant articles including HSCT for PTCLs were carefully reviewed. Results: Promising data have been reported from advances in transplant technology and more and more PTCLs patients with poor prognosis could benefit from allo-HSCT. Conclusion: Allo-HSCT is a useful choice for patients with refractory/relapsed PTCLs or high-risk new diagnosed PTCLs.

Abstract
There was limited information about the efficacy of myeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-PBSCT) in non-complete remission (non-CR) patients with relapsed/refractory peripheral T cell lymphomas (PTCLs). We conducted a retrospective study of 21 consecutive non-CR patients with relapsed/refractory PTCLs who received myeloablative allo-PBSCT between January 2008 and June 2016. The median follow-up of survivors was 46.5 months (range, 14-105 months). The estimated 3-year relapse rate was 24% (95% CI, 9 to 43%). The 3-year non-relapsed mortality rate was 24% (95% CI, 9 to 44%). Overall, the estimated 3-year overall survival was 47% (95% CI, 25 to 66%). And the estimated 3-year progression-free survival was 46% (95% CI, 24 to 66%). Specifically, eight patients failed to achieve a CR at the first evaluation 3 months after allo-PBSCT and received withdraw of immunosuppression. Five patients also received donor lymphocytes infusions. Five (5/8, 62.5%) patients responded subsequently to these interventions (complete = 4, partial = 1). Overall, ten patients were alive at our last follow-ups, and durable CR were achieved in nine patients without further therapy. Five (50%) of these ten alive patients experienced chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Our favorable clinical outcomes suggested myeloablative allo-PBSCT was a valid therapeutic option for non-CR patients with relapsed/refractory PTCLs. The sustained CR after immunotherapeutic intervention and high prevalence of chronic GVHD in alive patients provided evidence of graft versus T cell lymphoma effects.

Abstract
Relapsed/refractory Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas are characterized by a poor prognosis, especially for patients who are not candidates for allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. We conducted a retrospective analysis on 73 consecutive patients affected by relapsed/refractory T-Cell lymphomas who were considered eligible for allogeneic transplant. All patients were referred at our center from 2001 to 2017. With a median follow-up of 40 months (range 9-192 months), 4-year second-line failure-free survival and overall survival were 14% (CI95%:7-24) and 34% (CI95%:22-46). Extranodal disease at relapse (HR 2.25, CI95%: 1.11-4.56, p = 0.02) and first-line failure-free survival < 12 months (HR 3.37, CI95%: 1.67-6.88, p < 0.01) had a negative prognostic impact on survival. Only 45 out of 73 patients (62%) received allogeneic transplant. For the 28 (38%) patients who did not proceed to transplant, disease progression was the main reason for ineligibility. Median survival from time of transplant was 31 months (range 4-185 months). A first-line failure-free survival < 12 months had a negative prognostic impact also for allografted patients (2-year survival 45% vs 73%, p = 0.03) identifying a very high-risk population which requires novel treatments pre and post-transplant to obtain a long-term disease control.

Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (HDC-ASCT) is an option for patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL); however, neither prospective nor retrospective studies support proceeding with ASCT upfront, and the timing of HDC-ASCT remains controversial. We retrospectively analyzed the risk factors for outcomes of 570 patients with PTCL, including PTCL not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), who received ASCT for frontline consolidation (n = 98 and 75, respectively) or alternative therapies after either relapse (n = 112 and 75) or primary induction failure (PIF; n = 127 and 83) between 2000 and 2015. Significant risk factors for overall survival (OS) after upfront ASCT were a ≥ 2 prognostic index for T-cell lymphoma (P < 0.001) and partial response (PR) at ASCT (P = 0.041) in PTCL-NOS patients, and > 60 years of age (P = 0.0028) and PR at ASCT (P = 0.0013) in AITL patients. Performance status of ≥ 2 at ASCT (P < 0.001), receiving ≥ 3 regimens before ASCT (P = 0.018), and PR at ASCT (P = 0.018) in PTCL-NOS patients and > 60 years of age at ASCT (P = 0.0077) in AITL patients were risk factors for OS after ASCT with a chemosensitive PIF status. Strategies that carefully select PTCL patients may allow identification of individuals suitable for ASCT.

Abstract
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a heterogeneous group of clinically aggressive diseases associated with poor outcome. Despite progress in the last several years, resulting in a deeper understanding of the natural history and biology of PTCL based on molecular profiling and next-generation sequencing, there is a need for improvement in efficacy of chemotherapeutic regimens for newly diagnosed patients. Treatment in the front-line setting is most often cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) or CHOP-like regimens, which are associated with a high failure rate and frequent relapses. Trials evaluating intensive chemotherapy have resulted in variable success in prolonging event-free survival, but overall survival has remained unchanged. Furthermore, this strategy is limited to patients who are in complete remission after initial anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Many patients are ineligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation because of age or failure to achieve remission. For relapsed disease, advances have been made in the therapeutic arsenal for PTCL. New drugs investigated in phase II studies have achieved response rates between 10% and 30%. However, to date the identification of new therapies has been largely empiric, and long-term remissions are the exception to the rule. Current patient outcomes suggest the need for the identification and development of active and biologically rational therapies to improve disease management and to extend the duration of response with iterative biomarker evaluation. This review covers the management of PTCL and focuses on new agents and therapeutic combinations, based on a better understanding of biology and pathogenesis of the disease. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Recent progress in understanding of the biology and pathogenesis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma has led to the emergence of new drugs. Unfortunately, this has not been met with similar advances in outcome improvement. Anthracycline-containing regimens, mostly cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP), are considered the standard of care, although the best first-line approach remains to be defined. In the relapsed and refractory settings, several new agents achieved response rates between 10% and 30%, although these drugs do not significantly affect survival rates. Therapeutic options based on better molecular characterization of various histological types and combinations with the CHOP regimen or synergic combinations of new drugs may lead to better outcomes.

Abstract
Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) has been classified as a subtype of mature T-cell neoplasms. The recent revision of the WHO classification proposed a new category of nodal T-cell lymphoma with follicular helper T (TFH)-cell phenotype, which was classified into three diseases: AITL, follicular T-cell lymphoma, and nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma with TFH phenotype. These lymphomas are defined by the expression of TFH-related antigens, CD279/PD-1, CD10, BCL6, CXCL13, ICOS, SAP, and CXCR5. Although recurrent mutations in TET2, IDH2, DNMT3A, RHOA, and CD28, as well as gene fusions, such as ITK-SYK and CTLA4-CD28, were not diagnostic criteria, they may be considered as novel criteria in the near future. Notably, premalignant mutations, tumor-specific mutations, and mutations specific to tumor-infiltrating B cells were identified in AITL. Thus, multi-step and multi-lineage genetic events may lead to the development of AITL.

Abstract
Mature T- and natural killer (NK)-cell neoplasms comprise a group of morphologically, immunophenotypically, molecularly, and clinically heterogeneous disorders with generally unfavorable outcome. Results of first-line chemotherapy are unsatisfactory for the most common T-cell lymphomas (peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified; angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma; anaplastic large cell lymphomas; anaplastic lymphoma tyrosine kinase-negative) as well as for many other entities. High-dose therapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is widely recommended for consolidation after a complete or partial remission is achieved. However, about one-third of patients never reach transplantation because of early relapse or refractoriness. Targeted therapies have recently been developed; combinations with chemotherapy may improve outcomes, but long-term results from prospective studies are largely missing. In this situation, allogeneic HSCT remains a valuable treatment option inducing long-lived remissions in about 30% to 50% of patients with relapsed and refractory T-cell lymphoma able to proceed to transplantation. Results of allogeneic transplantation for consolidation in first remission are less defined and its indications remain controversial. With growing evidence that haploidentical HSCT also works in lymphoma, more patients can be brought to transplantation. Decreasing the morbidity and mortality of allogeneic transplantation is a continuous challenge. Integrating new drugs into transplant concepts and setting up prospective studies involving allogeneic transplantation remain unmet needs that warrant urgent study in a group of disorders in which classical chemotherapy and new drugs have generated results, which are far from optimal until today.

Abstract
No standard therapy for peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) has been established, and treatment outcomes are poor. Upfront stem cell transplantation has been investigated in several studies, some of which have reported promising outcomes. However, some patients maintain long-term remission after chemotherapy alone. It is thus important to predict sensitivity to first-line chemotherapy to optimize treatment strategies. In the present study, we retrospectively analyzed time to treatment failure (TTF) of first-line chemotherapy in 59 patients with PTCLs. On multivariate analysis for TTF, elevated lactate dehydrogenase level, hypoalbuminemia, and high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio were significant prognostic factors. Using these three factors, we also developed a new model that effectively distinguished patient outcomes. The TTF rate at 1 year from diagnosis was 71.4% in patients with score 0 (0 factor), 31.8% with score 1 (1 factor) and 4.5% with score 2 (2-3 factors) (P < 0.001). The prognostic power was superior to that of the Prognostic Index for PTCL-unspecified score. Patients with scores of 1 and 2 had poor TTF, and may be candidates for upfront stem cell transplantation if they respond to first-line chemotherapy. Further investigation in a larger cohort is warranted to determine the general applicability of this score.

Abstract
Recognizing the significant biological and clinical heterogeneity of mature T cell and natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphomas, the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation invited experts to develop clinical practice recommendations related to the role of autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT) and allogeneic HCT (allo-HCT) for specific histological subtypes. We used the GRADE methodology to aid in moving from evidence to decision making and ultimately to generating final recommendations. Auto-HCT in front-line consolidation is recommended in peripheral T cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALCL-ALK)-negative, NK/T cell (disseminated), enteropathy-associated T cell lymphoma (EATL), and hepatosplenic lymphomas. Auto-HCT in relapsed-sensitive disease is recommended for NK/T cell (localized and disseminated), EATL, subcutaneous panniculitis-like T cell, and ALCL-ALK-positive lymphomas. Auto-HCT is also recommended for PTCL-NOS, AITL, and ALCL-ALK-negative lymphomas if not performed as front-line therapy. Auto-HCT in refractory (primary or relapsed) disease is not recommended for any of the histological subtypes discussed. Allo-HCT in front-line consolidation is recommended for NK/T cell (disseminated), adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL; acute and lymphoma type), and hepatosplenic lymphomas. Allo-HCT for relapsed-sensitive disease is recommended for PTCL-NOS, AITL, ALCL-ALK-negative, ALCL-ALK-positive, NK/T cell (localized and disseminated), ATLL (acute, lymphoma type, smoldering/chronic), mycosis fungoides/Sezary syndrome (advanced stage IIB-IVB or tumor stage/extracutaneous), EATL, subcutaneous panniculitis-like T cell, and hepatosplenic lymphoma. Allo-HCT in refractory (primary or relapsed refractory) disease is recommended for any aforementioned histological subtypes. Emerging novel therapies will likely be incorporated into the pretransplantation, peritransplantation, and post-transplantation algorithms (auto-HCT or allo-HCT) with the goals of optimizing efficacy and improving outcomes. We acknowledge that there are unique clinical scenarios not covered by these recommendations that may require individualized decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND T-cell lymphomas make up approximately 10%-15% of lymphoid malignancies. The frequency of these lymphomas varies geographically, with the highest incidence in parts of Asia. DIAGNOSIS The diagnosis of aggressive peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is usually made using the World Health Organization classification. The ability of hematopathologists to reproducibly diagnose aggressive PTCL is lower than that for aggressive B-cell lymphomas, with a range of 72%-97% for the aggressive PTCLs. Risk Stratification: Patients with aggressive PTCL are staged using the Ann Arbor Classification. Although somewhat controversial, positron emission tomography scans seem to be useful as they are in aggressive B-cell lymphomas. The specific subtype of aggressive PTCL is an important risk factor with the best survival seen in anaplastic large-cell lymphoma-particularly young patients with the anaplastic lymphoma kinase positive subtype. RISK-ADAPTED THERAPY Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma is the only subgroup to have a good response to a CHOP-like regimen. Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma has a prolonged disease-free survival in only ∼20% of patients, but younger patients who have an autotransplant in remission seem to do better. PTCL-not otherwise specified is not one disease. Anthracycline-containing regimens have disappointing results, and a new approach is needed. Natural killer/T-cell lymphoma localized to the nose and nasal sinuses seems to be best treated with radiotherapy-containing regimens and the majority of patients are cured. Enteropathy-associated PTCL and hepatosplenic PTCL are rare disorders with a generally poor response to therapy although selected patients with enteropathy- associated PTCL seem to benefit from intensive therapy.

Abstract
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma and natural killer/T-cell lymphomas (PT/NKCL) make up a diverse subgroup of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas characterized by an aggressive clinical course. The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in the treatment of PT/NKCL remains controversial because of the absence of randomized controlled trials. The best available data suggest that certain subtypes of PT/NKCL may benefit more from the application of HSCT than other subtypes and that this benefit results from their unique clinical characteristics and underlying biology. Ultimately, however, prospective randomized controlled trials are needed to clarify the optimal type and timing of HSCT in patients with PT/NKCL.
