Abstract
ABSTRACT Tisagenlecleucel is approved for adults with relapsed/refractory (r/r) follicular lymphoma (FL) in the third- or later-line setting. The primary analysis (median follow-up, 17 months) of the phase 2 ELARA trial reported high response rates and excellent safety profile in patients with extensively pretreated r/r FL. Here, we report longer-term efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetic, and exploratory biomarker analyses after median follow-up of 29 months (interquartile range, 22.2-37.7). As of 29 March 2022, 97 patients with r/r FL (grades 1-3A) received tisagenlecleucel infusion (0.6 × 108-6 × 108 chimeric antigen receptor-positive viable T cells). Bridging chemotherapy was allowed. Baseline clinical factors, tumor microenvironment, blood soluble factors, and circulating blood cells were correlated with clinical response. Cellular kinetics were assessed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Median progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), and overall survival (OS) were not reached. Estimated 24-month PFS, DOR, and OS rates in all patients were 57.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 46.2-67), 66.4% (95% CI, 54.3-76), and 87.7% (95% CI, 78.3-93.2), respectively. Complete response rate and overall response rate were 68.1% (95% CI, 57.7-77.3) and 86.2% (95% CI, 77.5-92.4), respectively. No new safety signals or treatment-related deaths were reported. Low levels of tumor-infiltrating LAG3+CD3+ exhausted T cells and higher baseline levels of naïve CD8+ T cells were associated with improved outcomes. Tisagenlecleucel continued to demonstrate highly durable efficacy and a favorable safety profile in this extended follow-up of 29 months in patients with r/r FL enrolled in ELARA. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03568461.

Abstract
Background: Activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase-δ syndrome 2 (APDS2) is characterized by lymphoproliferation and increased risk of malignancy. FDG-PET/CT may represent a helpful diagnostic tool for differentiating these clinical features and correctly diagnosing inborn errors of immunity (IEI). Case report: We present the case of a female patient diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma at 19 years of age, although atypical imaging aspects emerged: baseline FDG-PET/CT revealed several hot lymph nodes with a symmetrical distribution, and increased tracer uptake in spleen, axial, and appendicular bone marrow. Imaging repeated after chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation showed persistent increased FDG uptake at multiple supradiaphragmatic nodes and in bone marrow. After the diagnosis of APDS2 and rapamycin treatment, FDG-PET/CT confirmed complete metabolic normalization of all sites. Conclusions: In the IEI scenario, FDG-PET/CT plays an effective role in differentiating malignant proliferation and immune dysregulation phenotypes. Atypical patterns at FDG-PET/CT should be interpreted as a red flag for the need of an early immunological evaluation.

Abstract
Concern has emerged about the prevalence of second cancers among patients with hairy cell leukemia (HCL) treated with purine analogs. We investigated 513 patients with HCL treated with cladribine over the last 30 years at 18 Italian centers and calculated their standardized incidence ratios (SIRs). We identified 24 patients with a second cancer diagnosed at a median time from treatment with cladribine of 59.9 months (range: 9.2-169.7 months). All patients with solid neoplasms presented with a limited-stage disease, except four cases of locally advanced cancer; multiple myeloma patients had a smoldering disease, while lymphoma patients had stage Ie and stage IV diseases. Response to therapy was complete in 19 cases; 1 patient is still receiving treatment for a relapsing bladder disease, while 2 patients progressed during treatment and died. These two patients died from unrelated causes: one from infection and one due to surgery complications. The median OS from HCL was 98.5 months (range: 38.4-409.2 months), while the median OS from second cancer was 27.6 months (range: 1-117.8 months). The SIR was 0.86 (95% CI: 0.54-1.30) for males and 1.13 (95% CI: 0.36-2.73) for females: no statistically significant differences were highlighted. We were not able to demonstrate an excess of second cancer or a significant association with the specific studied neoplasm.

Abstract
Therapies that demonstrate durable, long-term responses with manageable safety and tolerability are needed for patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL). Loncastuximab tesirine (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl [Lonca]), an anti-CD19 antibody conjugated to a potent pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimer, demonstrated single-agent antitumor activity in the pivotal phase II LOTIS-2 study in heavily pretreated patients with R/R DLBCL. Here we present updated efficacy and safety analyses from LOTIS-2, performed for all patients and in subsets of patients with a complete response (CR), including patients with CR who were event-free (no progressive disease or death) for ≥1 year and ≥2 years from cycle 1, day 1 of treatment. Lonca was administered every 3 weeks (0.15 mg/kg for 2 cycles; 0.075 mg/kg for subsequent cycles). As of the final data cutoff (September 15, 2022; median follow-up: 7.8 months [range, 0.3-42.6]), 70 of 145 (48.3%) patients achieved an overall response. Thirty-six (24.8%) patients achieved CR, of which 16 (44%) and 11 (31%) were event-free for ≥1 year and ≥2 years, respectively. In the all-treated population, the median overall survival was 9.5 months; the median progression-free survival was 4.9 months. Among patients with CR, median overall survival and progression-free survival were not reached, with 24-month overall and progression-free survival rates of 68.2% (95% CI: 50.0-81.0) and 72.5% (95% CI: 48.2-86.8), respectively. No new safety concerns were detected. With additional follow-up, Lonca continued to demonstrate durable, long-term responses with manageable safety and tolerability in patients with CR (clinicaltrials gov. Identifier: NCT03589469).

Abstract
PURPOSE The emergence of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy fundamentally changed the management of individuals with relapsed and refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). However, real-world data have shown divergent outcomes for the approved products. The present study therefore set out to evaluate potential risk factors in a larger cohort. METHODS Our analysis set included 88 patients, treated in four German university hospitals and one Italian center, who had undergone 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (PET) before CAR T-cell therapy with tisagenlecleucel or axicabtagene ciloleucel. We first determined the predictive value of conventional risk factors, treatment lines, and response to bridging therapy for progression-free survival (PFS) through forward selection based on Cox regression. In a second step, the additive potential of two common PET parameters was assessed. Their optimal dichotomizing thresholds were calculated individually for each CAR T-cell product. RESULTS Extra-nodal involvement emerged as the most relevant of the conventional tumor and patient characteristics. Moreover, we found that inclusion of metabolic tumor volume (MTV) further improves outcome prediction. The hazard ratio for a PFS event was 1.68 per unit increase of our proposed risk score (95% confidence interval [1.20, 2.35], P = 0.003), which comprised both extra-nodal disease and lymphoma burden. While the most suitable MTV cut-off among patients receiving tisagenlecleucel was 11 mL, a markedly higher threshold of 259 mL showed optimal predictive performance in those undergoing axicabtagene ciloleucel treatment. CONCLUSION Our analysis demonstrates that the presence of more than one extra-nodal lesion and higher MTV in LBCL are associated with inferior outcome after CAR T-cell treatment. Based on an assessment tool including these two factors, patients can be assigned to one of three risk groups. Importantly, as shown by our study, metabolic tumor burden might facilitate CAR T-cell product selection and reflect the individual need for bridging therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Seizures may occur in up to 30% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients who received anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, yet the optimal anti-seizure medication (ASM) prevention strategy has not been thoroughly investigated. METHODS Consecutive patients affected by refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma who received anti-CD19 CAR T-cells were included. Patients were selected and assessed using similar internal protocols. ASM was started either as a primary prophylaxis (PP-group) before CAR T-cells infusion or as a pre-emptive therapy (PET-group) only upon the onset of neurotoxicity development. RESULTS One hundred fifty-six patients were included (PP-group = 88, PET-group = 66). Overall, neurotoxicity and severe neurotoxicity occurred in 45 (29%) and 20 (13%) patients, respectively, equally distributed between the two groups. Five patients experienced epileptic events (PET-group = 3 [4%]; PP-group = 2 [2%]). For all the PET-group patients, seizure/status epilepticus occurred in the absence of overt CAR-T-related neurotoxicity, whereas patients in the PP-group experienced brief seizures only in the context of critical neurotoxicity with progressive severe encephalopathy. ASMs were well-tolerated by all patients, even without titration. No patients developed epilepsy or required long-term ASMs. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that both primary and pre-emptive anti-seizure prophylaxis are safe and effective in anti-CD19 CAR T-cell recipients. Clinical rationale suggests a possible more favourable profile of primary prophylaxis, yet no definitive conclusion of superiority between the two ASM strategies can be drawn from our study.

Abstract
Several single-arm studies have explored the inclusion of brentuximab vedotin (BV) in salvage chemotherapy followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) for relapsed/refractory (R/R) classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). However, no head-to-head comparisons with standard salvage chemotherapy have been performed. This study presents a propensity score-matched analysis encompassing individual patient data from ten clinical trials to evaluate the impact of BV in transplant-eligible R/R cHL patients. We included 768 patients, of whom 386 were treated with BV +/- chemotherapy (BV-cohort), while 382 received chemotherapy alone (chemo-cohort). Propensity score matching resulted in balanced cohorts of 240 patients each. No significant differences were observed in pre-ASCT complete metabolic response (CMR) rates (p=0.69) or progression free survival (PFS) (p=0.14) between the BV- and chemo-cohorts. However, patients with relapsed disease had a significantly better 3-year PFS of 80% versus 70% in the BV- versus chemo-cohort (p=0.02), while there was no difference for primary refractory patients (56% versus 62%, respectively; p=0.67). Patients with stage IV disease achieved a significantly better 3-year PFS in the BV-cohort (p=0.015). Post-ASCT PFS was comparable for patients achieving a CMR after BV monotherapy and those receiving BV followed by sequential chemotherapy (p=0.24). While 3-year overall survival was higher in the BV-cohort (92% versus 80%, p<0.001, respectively), this is likely attributed to the use of other novel therapies in later lines for patients experiencing progression, given that studies in the BV-cohort were conducted more recently. In conclusion, BV +/- salvage chemotherapy appears to enhance PFS in relapsed but not primary refractory cHL patients.

Abstract
Axicabtagene ciloleucel showed efficacy for relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphomas (LBCL), including primary mediastinal B-cell lymphomas (PMBCL); however, only few PMBCLs were reported. Aim was to evaluate efficacy and safety of axicabtagene ciloleucel in patients with PMBCL compared to those with other LBCL, enrolled in the Italian prospective observational CART-SIE study. PMBCLs (n = 70) were younger, with higher percentage of bulky and refractory disease, compared to other LBCLs (n = 190). Median follow-up time for infused patients was 12.17 months (IQR 5.53,22.73). The overall (complete + partial) response rate (ORR,CR + PR) after bridging was 41% for PMBCL and 28% for other LBCL, p = 0.0102. Thirty days ORR was 78% (53/68) with 50% (34) CR in PMBCL, and 75% (141/187) with 53% (100) CR in other LBCL, p = 0.5457. Ninety days ORR was 69% (45/65) with 65% (42) CR in PMBCL, and 54% (87/162) with 47% (76) CR in other LBCL; progressive disease was 21% in PMBCL and 45% in other LBCL, p = 0.0336. Twelve months progression-free survival was 62% (95% CI: 51-75) in PMBCL versus 48% (95% CI: 41-57) in other LBCL, p = 0.0386. Twelve months overall survival was 86% (95% CI: 78-95) in PMBCL versus 71% (95% CI: 64-79) in other LBCL, p = 0.0034. All grade cytokine release syndrome was 88% (228/260); all grade neurotoxicity was 34% (88/260), with 6% of fatal events in PMBCL. Non-relapse mortality was 3%. In conclusion, PMBCLs achieved significantly better response and survival rates than other LBCLs.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic posed a major challenge in cancer care worldwide which might have an impact on the management of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We conducted a retrospective study comparing characteristics, management, and outcomes of DLBCL patients diagnosed during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic (1/3/2020-28/2/2021) to those diagnosed in the previous year (1/3/2019-28/2/2020) in two tertiary centers in Italy and Israel. 182 patients were diagnosed with DLBCL during the study period. More patients were diagnosed during the pandemic compared to the year before: 60 vs. 29 and 54 vs. 39 in Italy and in Israel, respectively. Trends towards older age and higher transformation rates were shown during the pandemic. The interval between the initiation of symptoms and diagnosis was longer during the pandemic. Five and four patients were diagnosed with COVID-19 during treatment in Italy and in Israel, respectively. there was no difference in dose density and intensity of treatment, before and during the pandemic. The median follow-up during and before the pandemic was 15.2 and 25.5 months, respectively. Progression-free survival (PFS) was slightly shorter during the pandemic compared to the year before (64.9% vs. 70.6%; p = 0.0499). In multivariate analysis, older age and transformed disease were independently related to PFS, while diagnosis of DLBCL during the pandemic was not. Despite the challenges caused by COVID-19 pandemic, the management of DLBCL patients remained unchanged including dose density and intensity. Nevertheless, a shorter PFS during the outbreak might be attributed to differences in patients' characteristics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pembrolizumab has a manageable safety profile as described in its label, which was primarily based on 2799 patients who participated in clinical trials for melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer. Here, we evaluated the safety of pembrolizumab in a broader population of patients from 31 advanced cancer clinical trials across 19 cancer types. METHODS Safety was analyzed in patients who received at least one dose of pembrolizumab (200 mg every 3 weeks [Q3W], 10 mg/kg Q2W or Q3W, or 2 mg/kg Q3W). Adverse events (AEs) and immune-mediated AEs and infusion reactions were evaluated. RESULTS Safety data from 8937 patients in 31 trials of pembrolizumab monotherapy were pooled (median, seven administrations; range, 1-59). Median duration on treatment was 4.1 months (range, 0.03-40.1). AEs occurred in 96.6% of patients. Grade 3-5 AEs occurred in 50.6% of patients. AEs led to pembrolizumab discontinuation in 12.7% of patients and death in 5.9%. Immune-mediated AEs and infusion reactions occurred in 23.7% of patients (4.6% experienced multiple immune-mediated AEs/infusion reactions) and led to pembrolizumab discontinuation in 3.6% and death in 0.2%. Grade 3-5 immune-mediated AEs occurred in 6.3% of patients. Serious immune-mediated AEs and infusion reactions occurred in 6.0% of patients. Median time to immune-mediated AE onset was 85 days (range, 13-163). Of 2657 immune-mediated AEs, 22.3% were initially treated with prednisone ≥ 40 mg/day or equivalent, and 8.3% were initially treated with lower steroid doses. CONCLUSIONS This pooled analysis of 31 clinical trials showed that pembrolizumab has a consistent safety profile across indications.

Abstract
Zanubrutinib has been approved for treating patients with different lymphoproliferative disorders and now represents a significant breakthrough in treating relapsed/refractory and previously untreated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Because few systematic studies or comparative randomized clinical trials have been conducted, optimal use of zanubrutinib in approved indications may be challenging. This article presents the results of a group discussion among an ad hoc constituted panel of experts to identify and address unmet clinical needs (UCNs) in using zanubrutinib in patients with CLL. Key UCNs were selected according to the criterion of clinical relevance using the Delphi process. Panel members reviewed the results of first-line and upstream controlled trials in which the efficacy and toxicity profile of zanubrutinib and other BTK inhibitors were investigated in patients with CLL. Based on a critical discussion of data, the panel produced recommendations for using zanubrutinib and proposals for new studies to increase the evidence for the optimal treatment of patients with CLL. The recommendations given by the panel are intended for use not only by expert centers but, above all, by less experienced hematologists as well as general practitioners.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Parsaclisib, a potent and highly selective PI3Kδ inhibitor, has shown clinical benefit in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) B-cell lymphomas. The phase 2 CITADEL-204 study (NCT03144674, EudraCT 2017-000970-12) assessed efficacy and safety of parsaclisib in Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor-experienced (cohort 1) or BTK inhibitor-naive (cohort 2) patients with R/R marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). Patients aged ≥18 years with histologically confirmed R/R MZL, treated with ≥1 prior systemic therapy (including ≥1 anti-CD20 antibody) received parsaclisib 20 mg once daily for 8 weeks then 20 mg once weekly (weekly dosing group [WG]) or parsaclisib 20 mg once daily for 8 weeks then 2.5 mg once daily (daily dosing group [DG]); DG was selected for further assessment. Primary end point of the study was objective response rate (ORR). Owing to slower than expected recruitment, cohort 1 was closed with 10 patients (WG, n = 4; DG, n = 6) enrolled. Based on a planned interim analysis in cohort 2, the futility boundary was not crossed, and enrollment continued to study completion. At data cutoff (15 January 2021), 100 patients were enrolled and treated in cohort 2 (WG, n = 28; DG, n = 72). In the DG, the ORR was 58.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 46.1-69.8), with a complete response rate of 4.2% (95% CI, 0.9-11.7); the lower bound of the ORR 95% CI exceeded the protocol-defined threshold of 40%. The median duration of response was 12.2 months (95% CI, 8.1-17.5) and progression-free survival was 16.5 months (95% CI, 11.5-20.6); median overall survival was not reached. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) among all patients were diarrhea (47.0%), cough (23.0%), and rash (18.0%); the most common grade ≥3 TEAEs included diarrhea (12.0%), neutropenia, and pneumonia (9.0% each). TEAEs led to dose interruptions, reductions, and discontinuations in 56.0%, 16.0%, and 29.0% of all patients, respectively. Durable responses and an overall manageable safety profile were demonstrated in patients with R/R MZL treated with parsaclisib monotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intensive treatment approaches are required for adult patients with Burkitt lymphoma (BL), although an univocal standard of care still does not exist. The use of frontline autologous stem cells transplantation (ASCT) is debated. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 2004 and 2020, 50 patients with BL were treated with the Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster (BFM). Treatment plan consisted of 3 blocks, A (ifosfamide, vincristine, methotrexate, etoposide, and cytarabine), B (vincristine, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and doxorubicin), and C (vindesine, methotrexate, etoposide, and cytarabine), each repeated twice, every 28 days. Rituximab was given at day 1 each block. Intrathecal prophylaxis was given once per each block. ASCT was scheduled at the end of the 6 blocks after conditioning. RESULTS Median age at onset was 38 years (range 16-72); stages III-IV disease was observed in 82% of cases; bulky disease occurred in 44% of the patients, with B-symptoms in 38%. Stem cell harvest was performed in 72% of patients, who all received a subsequent ASCT. The full 6 blocks treatment was completed in 70% of the patients. The overall response rate was 74%, with a complete response rate of 60%. Ten-year overall survival and progression-free survival were 83.7% and 76.0%, respectively, without reaching the median. Ten-year disease-free survival was 80.3%. Grades 3-4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, and mucositis were seen in 96%, 60%, 32%, and 24% of patients. Infections occurred in 60% of patients. CONCLUSION Intensive treatment according to BFM protocol, with rituximab and ASCT, appears feasible, safe, and highly effective in adult patients with BL, as confirmed by long-term survival rates reflecting response maintenance.

Abstract
PURPOSE Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is a rare aggressive lymphoma predominantly affecting young female patients. Large-scale genomic investigations and genetic markers for risk stratification are lacking. PATIENTS AND METHODS To elucidate the full spectrum of genomic alterations, samples from 340 patients with previously untreated PMBCL were investigated by whole-genome (n = 20), whole-exome (n = 78), and targeted (n = 308) sequencing. Statistically significant prognostic variables were identified using a multivariable Cox regression model and confirmed by L1/L2 regularized regressions. RESULTS Whole-genome sequencing revealed a commonly disrupted p53 pathway with nonredundant somatic structural variations (SVs) in TP53-related genes (TP63, TP73, and WWOX) and identified novel SVs facilitating immune evasion (DOCK8 and CD83). Integration of mutation and copy-number data expanded the repertoire of known PMBCL alterations (eg, ARID1A, P2RY8, and PLXNC1) with a previously unrecognized role for epigenetic/chromatin modifiers. Multivariable analysis identified six genetic lesions with significant prognostic impact. CD58 mutations (31%) showed the strongest association with worse PFS (hazard ratio [HR], 2.52 [95% CI, 1.50 to 4.21]; P < .001) and overall survival (HR, 2.33 [95% CI, 1.14 to 4.76]; P = .02). IPI high-risk patients with mutated CD58 demonstrated a particularly poor prognosis, with 5-year PFS and OS rates of 41% and 58%, respectively. The adverse prognostic significance of the CD58 mutation status was predominantly observed in patients treated with nonintensified regimens, indicating that dose intensification may, to some extent, mitigate the impact of this high-risk marker. By contrast, DUSP2-mutated patients (24%) displayed durable responses (PFS: HR, 0.2 [95% CI, 0.07 to 0.55]; P = .002) and prolonged OS (HR, 0.11 [95% CI, 0.01 to 0.78]; P = .028). Upon CHOP-like treatment, these patients had very favorable outcome, with 5-year PFS and OS rates of 93% and 98%, respectively. CONCLUSION This large-scale genomic characterization of PMBCL identified novel treatment targets and genetic lesions for refined risk stratification. DUSP2 and CD58 mutation analyses may guide treatment decisions between rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone and dose-adjusted etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and rituximab.

Abstract
PURPOSE Significant progress has occurred in developing quantitative PET/CT biomarkers in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Total metabolic tumor volume (MTV) is the most extensively studied, enabling assessment of FDG-avid tumor burden associated with outcomes. However, prior studies evaluated the outcome of cytotoxic chemotherapy or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy without data on recently approved FDA agents. Therefore, we aimed to assess the prognosis of PET/CT biomarkers in patients treated with loncastuximab tesirine. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We centrally reviewed screening PET/CT scans of patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL enrolled in the LOTIS-2 (NCT03589469) study. MTV was obtained by computing individual volumes using the SUV ≥4.0 threshold. Other PET/CT metrics, clinical factors, and the International Metabolic Prognostic Index (IMPI) were evaluated. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between biomarkers and treatment response. Cox regression was used to determine the effect of biomarkers on time-to-event outcomes. We estimated biomarker prediction as continuous and binary variables defined by cutoff points. RESULTS Across 138 patients included in this study, MTV with a cutoff point of 96 mL was the biomarker associated with the highest predictive performance in univariable and multivariable models to predict failure to achieve complete metabolic response (OR, 5.42; P = 0.002), progression-free survival (HR, 2.68; P = 0.002), and overall survival (HR, 3.09; P < 0.0001). IMPI demonstrated an appropriate performance, however, not better than MTV alone. CONCLUSIONS Pretreatment MTV demonstrated robust risk stratification, with those patients demonstrating high MTV achieving lower responses and survival to loncastuximab tesirine in relapsed/refractory DLBCL.

Abstract
The SCHOLAR-2 retrospective study highlighted poor overall survival (OS) with standard of care (SOC) regimens among patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who failed a covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi). In the ZUMA-2 single-arm trial, brexucabtagene autoleucel (brexu-cel; autologous anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy) demonstrated high rates of durable responses in patients with R/R MCL who had previous BTKi exposure. Here, we compared OS in ZUMA-2 and SCHOLAR-2 using three different methods which adjusted for imbalances in prognostic factors between populations: inverse probability weighting (IPW), regression adjustment (RA), and doubly robust (DR). Brexu-cel was associated with improved OS compared to SOC across all unadjusted and adjusted comparisons. Hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 0.38 (0.23, 0.61) for IPW, 0.45 (0.28, 0.74) for RA, and 0.37 (0.23, 0.59) for DR. These results suggest a substantial survival benefit with brexu-cel versus SOC in patients with R/R MCL after BTKi exposure.

Abstract
We report the case of 2 patients with relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma treated with valemetostat tosylate, a selective dual inhibitor of histone-lysine N-methyltransferases enhancer of zest homolog 1 and 2, and subsequently bridged to allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Valemetostat led to a quick response and was well tolerated, offering a promising bridge therapy to transplantation for patients with relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma, which is still an unmet medical need.

Abstract
Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (PCBCLs) are lymphoproliferative disorders that appear on the skin without evidence of extracutaneous manifestations at the time of diagnosis. There is a lack of evidence-based guidelines for their clinical management due to the availability of very few large scale studies and controlled clinical trials. Here we present and discuss a series of major unmet clinical needs (UCNs) in the management of PCBCLs by a panel of 16 experts involved in research and clinical practice of PCBCL. The Panel produced recommendations on the appropriateness of the clinical decisions concerning the identified clinical needs and proposed research for improving the knowledge needed to solve them. Recommendations and proposals were achieved by multiple-step formalized procedures to reach a consensus after a comprehensive analysis of the scientific literature. Recommendations and proposals lay in the domain of classification uncertainties of PCBCL, optimization of diagnosis, optimization of prognosis, optimization of staging and critical issues on therapeutic strategies with particular focus on new treatments. These recommendations are intended for use not only by experts but above all by dermatologists and hematologists with limited experience in the field of PCBCLs as well as general practitioners.

Abstract
The approval of CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies for the second-line treatment of high-risk large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) has greatly affected salvage algorithms for this condition, and such therapies could have the potential to improve the course of relapsed or refractory LBCL. In this Review, we provide guidance for a rational management approach to the use of commercial CD19-directed CAR T cells in the second-line treatment of LBCL, addressing crucial questions regarding eligible histologies; age, comorbidity, and tumour biology restrictions; the handling of very aggressive tumour behaviour; and holding and bridging therapies. The guidance was developed in a structured manner and, for each question, consists of a description of the clinical issue, a summary of the evidence, the rationale for a practical management approach, and recommendations. These recommendations could help to decide on the optimal management of patients with relapsed or refractory LBCL who are considered for second-line CAR T-cell treatment.

Abstract
Primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the primary central nervous system (CNS-DLBCL) is an aggressive disease, with dismal prognosis despite the use of high-dose methotrexate-based polychemotherapy. Our study aimed to expand the biologic profiles of CNS-DLBCL and to correlate them with clinical/imaging findings to gain diagnostic insight and possibly identify new therapeutic targets. We selected 61 CNS-DLBCL whose formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples were available at first diagnosis. These were investigated by immunohistochemistry, cMYC rearrangements were explored by fluorescence in situ hybridization, and CNS-DLBCL mutated genes were evaluated by next-generation sequencing. CD10, BCL6, and IRF4 were observed in 16%, 83.6%, and 93% of cases, respectively. As typical of CNS lymphoma, 10 (16.4%) of 61 cases were classified as germinal center (GCB) type and 51 (83.6%) of 61 as non-germinal center (non-GCB) type according to the Hans algorithm. Double-expression status for BCL2 and cMYC was detected in 36 (59%) of 61 cases whereas 25 (41%) of 61 were non-DE. Rearrangement of the cMYC gene was detected in 2 cases, associated with BCL6 translocation only in 1 case MYD88, PIM1, CD79B, and TP53 were mutated in 54.5%, 53.5%, 30.2%, and 18.4% cases, respectively. Novel mutations not previously reported in CNS-DLBCL were found: AIP in 23.1%, PI3KCA in 15%, NOTCH1 in 11.4%, GNAS in 8.1%, CASP8 in 7.9%, EGFR in 6.4%, PTEN in 5.1, and KRAS in 2.6% of cases. Survival was significantly longer for patients with mutated MYD88 (8.7 months vs 1.7 months; log-rank test = 5.43; P = .020) and for patients with mutated CD79B (10.8 months vs 2.5 months; log-rank test = 4.64; P = .031). MYD88 and CD79B predicted a longer survival in patients affected by CNS-DLBCL. Notably, we identified novel mutations that enrich the mutational landscape of CNS-DLBCL, suggest a role of PTEN-PI3K-AKT and receptor tyrosine kinase-RAS-mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling in a subset of CNS-DLBCL, and provide new potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Zanubrutinib has been approved for the treatment of patients with different lymphoproliferative disorders, and now represents a major breakthrough in the treatment of patients resistant or relapsing after the recommended therapies. Because few systematic studies or comparative randomized clinical trials have been conducted, optimal use of the drug in approved indications is challenging, and questions are emerging on its use in earlier stages of the disorders. This article presents the results of group discussion among an ad hoc constituted panel of experts aimed at identifying and addressing unmet clinical needs (UCNs) in the use of zanubrutinib in the lymphomas which have received the approval of use, specifically Waldenström macroglubulinemia, marginal zone lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma. Key UCNs were selected according to the criterion of clinical relevance using the Delphi process. The panel produced recommendations and proposals for new studies for the management of the identified UCNs. These recommendations are intended for use not only by expert centers but above all by not experienced hematologists as well as general practitioners.

Abstract
Parsaclisib is a potent and highly selective PI3Kδ inhibitor that has shown clinical benefit with monotherapy in a phase 2 study in relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL). CITADEL-102 (NCT03039114), a phase 1, multicenter study, assessed the efficacy of parsaclisib in combination with obinutuzumab and bendamustine in patients with R/R FL. Patients were ≥18 years of age with histologically confirmed and documented CD20-positive FL, and R/R to previous rituximab-containing treatment regimens. Part one (safety run-in) determined the maximum tolerated dose of parsaclisib in combination with standard dosage regimens of obinutuzumab and bendamustine. Part two (dose expansion) was an open-label, single-group design evaluating safety, tolerability (primary endpoint), and efficacy (secondary endpoint) of parsaclisib combination therapy. Twenty-six patients were enrolled in CITADEL-102 and all patients received parsaclisib 20 mg once daily for 8 weeks, followed by 20 mg once weekly thereafter, in combination with obinutuzumab and bendamustine. One patient in safety run-in experienced a dose-limiting toxicity of grade 4 QT interval prolongation that was considered related to parsaclisib. Eight patients (30.8%) discontinued treatment due to treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of colitis (2 [7.7%]), alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase increase (both in one patient [3.8%]), neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, QT prolongation, tonsil cancer, and maculopapular rash (each 1 [3.8%]). The most common reported TEAEs were pyrexia (53.8%), neutropenia (50.0%), and diarrhea (46.2%). Twenty-three patients (88.5%) experienced grade 3 or 4 TEAEs; the most common were neutropenia (34.6%), febrile neutropenia (23.1%), and thrombocytopenia (19.2%). Seventeen patients (65.4%) had a complete response and 3 patients (11.5%) had a partial response, for an objective response rate of 76.9%. Overall, results from CITADEL-102 suggest that the combination of parsaclisib with obinutuzumab and bendamustine did not result in unexpected safety events, with little evidence of synergistic toxicity, and demonstrated preliminary efficacy in patients with R/R FL who progressed following prior rituximab-containing regimens.

Abstract
The primary analysis of MAGNOLIA, an open-label, single-arm, multicenter, phase 2 study, demonstrated that the next-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor zanubrutinib provided a high overall response rate (ORR) in patients with relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma (R/R MZL), with a favorable safety/tolerability profile. Presented here, is the final analysis of MAGNOLIA, performed to characterize the durability of response and longer-term safety and tolerability. Zanubrutinib (160 mg twice daily) was evaluated in 68 patients with R/R MZL who had received at least 1 anti-CD20-directed regimen. The primary end point was independent review committee (IRC)-assessed ORR. Secondary end points included investigator-assessed ORR, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), health-related quality of life, safety, and tolerability. With a median follow-up of 27.4 months, the IRC-assessed ORR was 68.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 55.6-79.1), with a 24-month DOR event-free rate of 72.9% (95% CI, 54.4-84.9). PFS and OS at 24 months were 70.9% (95% CI, 57.2-81.0) and 85.9% (95% CI, 74.7-92.4), respectively. The zanubrutinib safety profile was consistent with the primary analysis, with no new safety signals observed. Atrial fibrillation/flutter (n = 2 [2.9%]) and hypertension (n = 3 [4.4%]) were uncommon. Neutropenia (n = 8 [11.8%]) was the most common grade ≥3 adverse event. In this final analysis of MAGNOLIA, zanubrutinib demonstrated sustained clinical responses beyond 2 years, with 73% of responders alive and progression free. Zanubrutinib continued to demonstrate a favorable safety/tolerability profile with the additional time on treatment. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03846427.

Abstract
PURPOSE The combination of zanubrutinib plus obinutuzumab (ZO) was found to be well tolerated with an early signal of efficacy in a phase Ib study. ROSEWOOD is a phase II, randomized study that assessed the efficacy and safety of ZO versus obinutuzumab in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL). METHODS Patients with R/R FL who had received ≥2 lines of therapy, including an anti-CD20 antibody and an alkylating agent, were randomly assigned 2:1 to receive ZO or obinutuzumab (O). The primary end point was overall response rate (ORR) by independent central review (ICR). Secondary end points included duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival, and safety. RESULTS A total of 217 patients were randomized (ZO, 145; O, 72). Median study follow-up was 20.2 months. The study met its primary end point: ORR by ICR was 69% (ZO) versus 46% (O; P = .001). Complete response rate was 39% (ZO) versus 19% (O); 18-month DOR rate was 69% (ZO) versus 42% (O). Median PFS was 28.0 months (ZO) versus 10.4 months (O; hazard ratio, 0.50 [95% CI, 0.33 to 0.75]; P < .001). The most common adverse events with ZO were thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, diarrhea, and fatigue; incidences of atrial fibrillation and major hemorrhage were 3% and 1%, respectively. CONCLUSION The combination of ZO met its primary end point of a superior ORR versus O, and demonstrated meaningful activity and a manageable safety profile in patients with R/R FL. ZO had a favorable benefit-risk profile compared with O, and represents a potential combination therapy for patients with R/R FL.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION For primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg-type (PCDLBCL-LT), there are no uniform recommendations for second-line treatment in case of relapse. CASE PRESENTATION Here, we present the case of an elderly relapsed/refractory PCDLBCL-LT patient who obtained a prolonged clinical complete remission with lenalidomide. CONCLUSION Lenalidomide as single agent led to an unexpected long complete response with manageable toxicity.

Abstract
Patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) for whom autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (auto-HCT) had failed experienced frequent and durable responses to nivolumab in the phase 2 CheckMate 205 trial. We present updated results (median follow-up, ∼5 years). Patients with R/R cHL who were brentuximab vedotin (BV)-naive (cohort A), received BV after auto-HCT (cohort B), or received BV before and/or after auto-HCT (cohort C) were administered with nivolumab 3 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients in cohort C with complete remission (CR) for 1 year could discontinue nivolumab and resume upon relapse. Among 243 patients (cohort A, n = 63; B, n = 80; and C, n = 100), the objective response rate (ORR) was 71.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 65.1-76.8); the CR rate was 21.4% (95% CI, 16.4-27.1). Median duration of response, CR, and partial remission were 18.2 (95% CI, 14.7-26.1), 30.3, and 13.5 months, respectively. Median progression-free survival was 15.1 months (95% CI, 11.3-18.5). Median overall survival (OS) was not reached; OS at 5 years was 71.4% (95% CI, 64.8-77.1). In cohort C, all 3 patients who discontinued in CR and were subsequently re-treated achieved objective response. No new or unexpected safety signals were identified. This 5-year follow-up of CheckMate 205 demonstrated favorable OS and confirmed efficacy and safety of nivolumab in R/R cHL after auto-HCT failure. Results suggest patients may discontinue treatment after persistent CR and reinitiate upon progression. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02181713.

Abstract
Patients with relapsed/refractory primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (R/R PMBL) have poor responses to salvage therapy. Nivolumab and brentuximab vedotin (BV) showed promising early efficacy in patients with R/R PMBL in the phase 1/2 open-label, multicenter CheckMate 436 study; we report safety and efficacy findings from the 3-year follow-up. Patients who were eligible were aged ≥15 years with R/R PMBL previously treated with either high-dose chemotherapy plus autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) or ≥2 prior multiagent chemotherapies, and had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status scores of 0 to 1 and CD30 expression of ≥1%. Patients were treated with nivolumab 240 mg and BV 1.8 mg/kg once every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary end point was objective response rate (ORR); secondary end points included complete response rate, duration of response, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Safety was monitored throughout. At final database lock (30 March 2022), 29 patients had received nivolumab plus BV; median follow-up was 39.6 months. Investigator-assessed ORR was 73.3%; median time to response was 1.3 months (range, 1.1-4.8). Median PFS was 26.0 months; median OS was not reached. PFS and OS rates at 24 months were 55.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 32.0-73.8) and 75.5% (95% CI, 55.4-87.5), respectively. The most frequently occurring grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse event was neutropenia. Consolidative HCT was received by 12 patients, with a 100-day complete response rate of 100.0%. This 3-year follow-up showed long-term efficacy for nivolumab plus BV in R/R PMBL, with no new safety signals. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02581631.

Abstract
Previous analyses of the phase 2 KEYNOTE-087 (NCT02453594) trial of pembrolizumab monotherapy demonstrated effective antitumor activity with acceptable safety in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). However, long-term response durability and outcome of patients who receive a second course after treatment discontinuation after complete response (CR) remain of clinical interest. We present KEYNOTE-087 data after >5 years of median follow-up. Patients with R/R cHL and progressive disease (PD) after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and brentuximab vedotin (BV; cohort 1), salvage chemotherapy and BV without ASCT (cohort 2), or ASCT without subsequent BV (cohort 3), received pembrolizumab for ≤2 years. Patients in CR who discontinued treatment and subsequently experienced PD were eligible for second-course pembrolizumab. Primary end points were the objective response rate (ORR) using blinded central review and safety. The median follow-up was 63.7 months. ORR was 71.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 64.8-77.4; CR, 27.6%; partial response, 43.8%). Median duration of response (DOR) was 16.6 months; median progression-free survival was 13.7 months. A quarter of responders, including half of complete responders, maintained a response for ≥4 years. Median overall survival was not achieved. Among 20 patients receiving second-course pembrolizumab, ORR for 19 evaluable patients was 73.7% (95% CI, 48.8-90.8); median DOR was 15.2 months. Any-grade treatment-related adverse events occurred in 72.9% of patients and grade 3 or 4 adverse events occurred in 12.9% of patients; no treatment-related deaths occurred. Single-agent pembrolizumab can induce durable responses, particularly in patients achieving CR. Second-course pembrolizumab frequently reinduced sustained responses after relapse from initial CR.

Abstract
Hematological toxicity is the most common adverse event after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. Cytopenias can be profound and long-lasting and can predispose for severe infectious complications. In a recent worldwide survey, we demonstrated that there remains considerable heterogeneity in regard to current practice patterns. Here, we sought to build consensus on the grading and management of immune effector cell-associated hematotoxicity (ICAHT) after CAR T-cell therapy. For this purpose, a joint effort between the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) and the European Hematology Association (EHA) involved an international panel of 36 CAR T-cell experts who met in a series of virtual conferences, culminating in a 2-day meeting in Lille, France. On the basis of these deliberations, best practice recommendations were developed. For the grading of ICAHT, a classification system based on depth and duration of neutropenia was developed for early (day 0-30) and late (after day +30) cytopenia. Detailed recommendations on risk factors, available preinfusion scoring systems (eg, CAR-HEMATOTOX score), and diagnostic workup are provided. A further section focuses on identifying hemophagocytosis in the context of severe hematotoxicity. Finally, we review current evidence and provide consensus recommendations for the management of ICAHT, including growth factor support, anti-infectious prophylaxis, transfusions, autologous hematopoietic stem cell boost, and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. In conclusion, we propose ICAHT as a novel toxicity category after immune effector cell therapy, provide a framework for its grading, review literature on risk factors, and outline expert recommendations for the diagnostic workup and short- and long-term management.

Abstract
This real-world analysis investigated patients with follicular lymphoma in Italy receiving three or more treatment lines (≥3L), focusing on therapeutic pathways with their rebounds on healthcare resource consumptions and costs. Data were retrieved from administrative databases from healthcare entities covering about 13.3 million residents. Adults diagnosed with follicular lymphoma were identified between January 2015 and June 2020, and among them 2434 patients with ≥3L of treatment during the data availability interval (January 2009 to June 2021) were included. Of them, 1318 were in 3L, 494 in 4L and 622 in ≥5L. A relevant proportion of patients (12-32%) switched to a later line within the same calendar year. At 3-year follow-up (median), 34% patients died. Total mean annual expenses were euro 14,508 in the year preceding inclusion and rose to euro 21,081 at 1-year follow-up (on average euro 22,230/patient/year for the whole follow-up), with hospitalization and drug expenses as weightiest cost items. In conclusion, the clinical and economic burden of follicular lymphoma increases along with later treatment lines. The high mortality rates indicate that further efforts are needed to optimize disease management.

Abstract
Patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) mature T- and natural killer (NK)-cell neoplasms lack effective treatments after failure of standard therapies. This phase 2 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitor tislelizumab in these patients. Seventy-seven patients were treated with 200 mg tislelizumab every 3 weeks. Twenty-two patients with extranodal NK-/T-cell lymphomas were enrolled in cohort 1; 44 patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) were enrolled in cohort 2 (21 patients had PTCL not otherwise specified, 11 patients had angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, and 12 patients had anaplastic large-cell lymphoma). Cohort 3 comprised 11 patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, of which 8 patients had mycosis fungoides (MF) and 3 had Sézary syndrome. Of the 77 patients, 76.6% had advanced-stage disease, 51.9% had refractory disease, and 49.4% received ≥3 prior systemic regimens. Promising efficacy was observed in cohort 3 (median follow-up [FU], 16.6 months; overall response rate [ORR], 45.5%; complete response [CR], 9.1%; median duration of response [DOR], 11.3 months; median progression-free survival, 16.8 months; median overall survival, not reached). Modest efficacy was observed in cohort 1 (median FU, 8.4 months; ORR, 31.8%; CR, 18.2%; median DOR, not reached) and cohort 2 (median FU, 9.3 months; ORR, 20.5%; CR, 9.1%; median DOR, 8.2 months). Most treatment-related adverse events were grade 1 or 2, and the safety profile was consistent with the known safety profile of tislelizumab. In conclusion, tislelizumab was well tolerated, achieving modest efficacy in R/R mature T- and NK-cell neoplasms, with some long-lasting remissions. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03493451.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pirtobrutinib is a highly selective, noncovalent (reversible) Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi). We report the safety and efficacy of pirtobrutinib in patients with covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (cBTKi) pretreated mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL), a population with poor prognosis. METHODS Patients with cBTKi pretreated relapsed/refractory (R/R) MCL received pirtobrutinib monotherapy in a multicenter phase I/II trial (BRUIN; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03740529). Efficacy was assessed in the first 90 consecutively enrolled patients who met criteria for inclusion in the primary efficacy cohort. The primary end point was overall response rate (ORR). Secondary end points included duration of response (DOR) and safety. RESULTS The median patient age was 70 years (range, 46-87), the median prior lines of therapy was 3 (range, 1-8), 82.2% had discontinued a prior cBTKi because of disease progression, and 77.8% had intermediate- or high-risk simplified MCL International Prognostic Index score. The ORR was 57.8% (95% CI, 46.9 to 68.1), including 20.0% complete responses (n = 18). At a median follow-up of 12 months, the median DOR was 21.6 months (95% CI, 7.5 to not reached). The 6- and 12-month estimated DOR rates were 73.6% and 57.1%, respectively. In the MCL safety cohort (n = 164), the most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were fatigue (29.9%), diarrhea (21.3%), and dyspnea (16.5%). Grade ≥3 TEAEs of hemorrhage (3.7%) and atrial fibrillation/flutter (1.2%) were less common. Only 3% of patients discontinued pirtobrutinib because of a treatment-related adverse event. CONCLUSION Pirtobrutinib is a first-in-class novel noncovalent (reversible) BTKi and the first BTKi of any kind to demonstrate durable efficacy after prior cBTKi therapy in heavily pretreated R/R MCL. Pirtobrutinib was well tolerated with low rates of treatment discontinuation because of toxicity.

Abstract
Background Parsaclisib is a potent and highly selective PI3Kδ inhibitor that has shown clinical benefit in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell malignancies. In this phase 2 study (CITADEL-205; NCT03235544, EudraCT 2017-003148-19), the efficacy and safety of parsaclisib was evaluated in patients with R/R mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Methods Patients ≥18 years old with pathologically confirmed R/R MCL and prior treatment with 1-3 systemic therapies, with (cohort 1) or without (cohort 2) previous Bruton kinase inhibitor (BTKi) treatment, received oral parsaclisib 20 mg once-daily (QD) for 8 weeks, then either parsaclisib 20 mg once-weekly (weekly dosing group [WG]) or parsaclisib 2.5 mg QD (daily dosing group [DG]). The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). Findings At the primary analysis data cutoff on January 15, 2021, 53 patients in cohort 1 (BTKi-experienced) (WG, n = 12; DG: n = 41) and 108 patients in cohort 2 (BTKi-naive) (WG, n = 31; DG: n = 77) had received parsaclisib monotherapy. The BTKi-experienced cohort was closed after an interim analysis demonstrated limited clinical benefit. In the BTKi-naive cohort, the ORR (95% CI) for DG (dosing selected for further study) was 70.1% (58.6%-80.0%), with a complete response rate (95% CI) of 15.6% (8.3%-25.6%) and a median duration of response (95% CI) of 12.1 (9.0-not evaluable) months. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurred among 90.7% (98/108) of all treated patients in the BTKi-naive cohort. Grade ≥3 TEAEs occurred among 62.0% (67/108) of patients, including diarrhoea (13.9%, 15/108) and neutropenia (8.3%, 9/108). Parsaclisib interruption, reduction, or discontinuation due to TEAEs occurred among 47.2% (51/108), 8.3% (9/108), and 25.0% (27/108) of patients, respectively. Fatal TEAEs were experienced by six patients and determined to be treatment-related in one patient. Interpretation Parsaclisib, a potent, highly selective, PI3Kδ inhibitor demonstrated meaningful clinical benefits and a manageable safety profile (25.0% discontinuation rate, low incidences of individually reported grade ≥3 or serious adverse events) in R/R MCL patients with no prior BTKi therapy. Limited clinical benefit was observed with parsaclisib monotherapy in patients who had previously received BTKi treatment. Future development of PI3K inhibitors for NHL will require further investigation of dose optimisation to improve safety and long-term survival. Funding Incyte Corporation.

Abstract
Among primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL), mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most frequent and, along with Sézary syndrome (SS), the best-studied subtype. Most available studies on epidemiology of MF and SS are based on small cohorts or different inclusion criteria. Moreover, although this has become a hot topic, most studies show limitations, such as selection bias and lack of clinical information or follow-up data. Therefore, no reliable conclusions can be drawn. This paper reviews the current data underpinning our understanding of the epidemiology of MF and SS, and presents some original findings based on data retrieved from the cutaneous lymphoma registry of the Italian Marche region. The Marche Regional Cutaneous Lymphoma Registry is a multidisciplinary team founded 27 years ago to share the management of these rare disorders. All patients with a clinical and histologically confirmed diagnosis of primary cutaneous lymphoma are centralized in Ancona (Italy) at the Haematology Clinic, Polytechnic University of Marche, for clinical evaluation, staging, treatment, and follow-up. This paper emphasizes the need for a national registry of pCLs in Italy, as no detailed epidemiological information is available in the country except for the Marche Regional Cutaneous Lymphoma Registry. A national registry would allow for more comprehensive data collection from all over Italy and could provide more accurate information on incidence and epidemiology. This would be beneficial for understanding the pathogenesis and diagnostic procedures of these diseases and could improve patient outcomes. Therefore, we advise the creation of a national registry of pCLs in Italy.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) after relapse is associated with poor prognosis. No standard of care exists and available evidence for treatments is limited, particularly in patients who fail Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) therapy. This multicentre retrospective chart review study, SCHOLAR-2, addresses this knowledge gap and reports on data collected from 240 patients with relapsed/refractory MCL in Europe who were treated with BTKi-based therapy between July 2012 and July 2018, and had experienced disease progression while on BTKi therapy or discontinued BTKi therapy due to intolerance. The median overall survival (OS) from initiation of first BTKi therapy was 14.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 11.6-20.0) in the overall cohort, 5.5 months (95% CI 3.9-8.2) in 91 patients without post-BTKi therapy, and 23.8 months (95% CI 18.9-30.1) in 149 patients who received post-BTKi therapy (excluding chimeric antigen receptor T-cell treatment). In the latter group, patients received a median of one (range, one to seven) line of post-BTKi therapy, with lenalidomide-containing regimens and bendamustine plus rituximab being the most frequently administered; the median OS from initiation of first post-BTKi therapy was 9.7 months (95% CI 6.3-12.7). These results provide a benchmark for survival in patients with R/R MCL receiving salvage therapy after BTKi failure.

Abstract
Previous analyses of the phase 2 KEYNOTE-170 (NCT02576990) study demonstrated effective antitumor activity and acceptable safety of pembrolizumab 200 mg given every 3 weeks for up to 35 cycles (∼2 years) in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) whose disease progressed after or who were ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation. The end points included objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and duration of response (DOR) according to the investigator per 2007 Response Criteria; overall survival (OS); and safety. In this final analysis, median duration of follow-up was 48.7 months (range, 41.2-56.2). The ORR was 41.5% (complete response, 20.8%; partial response, 20.8%). The median DOR was not reached; no patients who achieved a complete response progressed at the data cutoff. The median PFS was 4.3 months; the 4-year PFS rate was 33.0%. The median OS was 22.3 months; the 4-year OS rate was 45.3%. At the data cutoff, 30 patients (56.6%) had any-grade treatment-related adverse events (AEs); the most common were neutropenia, asthenia, and hypothyroidism. Grade 3/4 treatment-related AEs occurred in 22.6% of the patients; no grade 5 AEs occurred. After 4 years of follow-up, pembrolizumab continued to provide durable responses, with promising trends for long-term survival and acceptable safety in R/R PMBCL.

Abstract
RE-MIND2 (NCT04697160) compared patient outcomes from the L-MIND (NCT02399085) trial of tafasitamab+lenalidomide with those of patients treated with other therapies for relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who are autologous stem cell transplant ineligible. We present outcomes data for three pre-specified treatments not assessed in the primary analysis. Data were retrospectively collected from sites in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. Patients were aged ≥18 years with histologically confirmed DLBCL and received ≥2 systemic therapies for DLBCL (including ≥1 anti-CD20 therapy). Patients enrolled in the observational and L-MIND cohorts were matched using propensity score-based 1:1 nearest-neighbor matching, balanced for six covariates. Tafasitamab+lenalidomide was compared with polatuzumab vedotin+bendamustine+rituximab (pola-BR), rituximab+lenalidomide (R2), and CD19-chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints included treatment response and progression-free survival. From 200 sites, 3,454 patients were enrolled in the observational cohort. Strictly matched patient pairs consisted of tafasitamab+lenalidomide versus pola-BR (n = 24 pairs), versus R2 (n = 33 pairs), and versus CAR-T therapies (n = 37 pairs). A significant OS benefit was observed with tafasitamab+lenalidomide versus pola-BR (HR: 0.441; p = 0.034) and R2 (HR: 0.435; p = 0.012). Comparable OS was observed in tafasitamab+lenalidomide and CAR-T cohorts (HR: 0.953, p = 0.892). Tafasitamab+lenalidomide appeared to improve survival outcomes versus pola-BR and R2, and comparable outcomes were observed versus CAR-T. Although based on limited patient numbers, these data may help to contextualize emerging therapies for R/R DLBCL. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT04697160 (January 6, 2021).

Abstract
An endobronchial localization of Hodgkin lymphoma is rare, and few experiences since the 1900s have been reported in the literature. Here we report the first case of a relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma with a critical vegetative mass at the level of the trachea successfully treated with pembrolizumab.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) may be helpful in tailoring treatment with antimicrobials, and expert interpretation of the results may make it more clinically useful. METHOD The study aim was to assess retrospectively the first-year impact (July 2021-June 2022) of a newly established expert clinical pharmacological advice program (ECPA) based on TDM results in tailoring therapy with 18 antimicrobials hospital-wide in a tertiary university hospital. All patients having ≥1 ECPA were grouped in five cohorts [hematology, intensive care unit (ICU), pediatrics, medical- and surgical- wards]. Four indicators of performance were identified [total ECPAs; total ECPA recommending dosing adjustments/total ECPAs both at first and at subsequent assessments; turnaround time (TAT) of ECPAs, defined as optimal (<12h), quasi-optimal (12-24h), acceptable (24-48h), suboptimal (>48h)]. RESULTS A total of 8484 ECPAs were provided for tailoring treatment in 2961 patients, mostly admitted in the ICU (33.8%) and in the medical wards (29.4%). The proportions of ECPAs recommending dosing adjustments were >40% at first assessment (40.9% in hematology; 62.8% in ICU; 53.9% in pediatrics; 59.1% in medical wards; 59.7% in surgical wards), and decreased consistently at subsequent TDM assessments (20.7% in hematology; 40.6% in ICU; 37.4% in pediatrics; 32.9% in medical wards; 29.2% in surgical wards). The overall median TAT of the ECPAs was optimal (8.11h). CONCLUSIONS The TDM-guided ECPA program was successful in tailoring treatment with a wide panel of antimicrobials hospital-wide. Expert interpretation by MD clinical pharmacologists, short TATs and strict interaction with ID consultants and clinicians were crucial in attaining this.
