3-year follow-up of TRANSFORM @ascocancer.bsky.social confirms significantly improved PFS with lisocel compared to SOC as second-line treatment for r/r LBCL (51% vs 26%): ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/... PRO indicate improved HRQoL incl. Fatigue on treatment with lisocel, but similar long-term outcomes.

Fujimoto et al - Allo / auto in ENKT? Japanese data.
• if in CR, ASCT appear superior to allo
• if in PR, allo appears preferable
• no impact on source of allo cells
I normally allo these pts in CR1 so potentially practise changing.

Held et al - NIVEAU trial. Nivo-GemOx vs GemOx RR PTCL
• 76 pts part of bigger trial
• PFS no diff but was ⬆️ when MVA performed
• responses ⬆️
• BUT ⬆️ toxic incl ‘infn’ (?hyperinfl state instead); ⬆️ deaths.
Doubt there will be further development.

Patel: JNJ4496 (anti CD19/20 tandem CAR) RR DLBCL, 41BB costim
• global Ph 1B
• med age 72y
• at RP2D, ORR 100%, CRR 80%
• no G3+ CRS, 8% ICANs
Very impressive results

Dreyfuss et al
• ISRT & Pembro in localised relapsed cHL
• RT dose varied according to response to Pembro
• generally safe & good outcomes
• did not seem to impair subseq Rx
Consider for older relapsed pts

Davison et al - PRO substudy of S1826 substudy. Interesting outputs:
• NivoAVD showed more fatigued compared with BV-AVD on treatment but did not meet ‘clin significant’ threshold.
• BV-AVD showed excess neuropathy which had a clinically meaningful impact.

Great work by @ABarrettHaem. NHSE data, older #Hodgkin pts. Outcomes ⬆️ with dox. Clearly may reflect selection, but interesting assocn seen between regional difference in dox use and outcome.

Take home message: if safe to use dox then do use it!

Lewis et al - MRD analysis in ENRICH: IR vs R-chemo in 1L MCL
• flow cytometry based
• MRD- most rapid with BR
• with RCHOP, even MRD- pts do poorly
• with IR, no assocn with MRD & outcome

Flerlage et al
• GLOW data nod LPHL
• completely resected 1A, RT assoc with ⬆️ PFS compared with observation
• unresected - ABVD-RT & RT do v well
• no infield relapses if RT given
Great work which significantly informs practice. #18ICML #ICML25

Rossi et al - baseline MTV, Dmax & esp combo, assoc with PFS.
Independent effect of IPSS.
Both factors improve prognostic impact of iPET.
Based on AHL2011 study so all have 2x eacBEACOPDac as 1st 2 cycle.

Herrera et al - ctDNA in S1826
• 97% ctDNA + baseline
• clearance at C3D1 assoc with PFS
• within pos pts, those with minor ⬇️ assoc with esp poor outcomes
• EOT ctDNA detection also assoc with poor outcomes
CtDNA ripe for response adapted trials.

Ahmed et al - EBV & cHL subtype in S1826 study
• EBV+ pts do much better with NAVD compared with BV-AVD (EBV- also do better but less marked)
• non-NS histology also benefited more from NAVD.
Biology is important!

A no. of trials in RR DLBCL with RGemOx as comparator all show:
• PFS med 2-3 mo
• OS med 12-13 mo
Well known tox of neutropenia, PN, fatigue, thrombocytopenia etc.

Beaten by exptl arms in StarGlo, Polargo, Sunmo

Take home: no more RGemOx pls - it’s defeated!

Feldman et al - acimtamig (CD16/CD30 engager) with alloNK in RR #Hodgkin
• 24 pts, heavily preRx
• ORR 88%, CRR 58%
• 25% CRS with 1 G3, no ICANs or GvH
Looks very active. Interested to see how it will developed further.

Shah et al - Zamto-cel 3L+ DLBCL
• tandem CD19 / CD20 41BB construct
• non cryopreserved, short vein-vein
• 69 pts
• ORR 73%, CRR 51%
• no G3+ CRS, 4% G3+ ICANS
Clearly active but is it better than current agents?

Sancho et al - POLARGO.
• RGemOx vs Pola-RGemOx R/R DLBCL
• 2L+ DLBCL (no ASCT eligible if 2L)
• OS primary EP: signif adv 12.5mo vs 19.5mo
• PFS & CMR rate better
• tox modest - ⬆️ infn & PN
• no effect of cell of origin
Interesting but ? value if 1L PolaRCHP

Stathis et al - feasibility of PET & ctDNA response adaptation in 1L DLBCL.
• operationally deliverable with ctDNA turnaround median 9d
• low rate PET+ and ctDNA+ at interim
• assessing whether acala addition benefits those with Myd88 &/or CD79b mutns

Nivo-AVD vs BV-AVD in older pts (60+) with #Hodgkin. S1826 data. 99 eligible pts. 2y PFS
• 89% Nivo-AVD
• 64% BV-AVD
55% discontinued BV, 14% Nivo
NRM 16% BV-AVD, 6% Nivo-AVD
Transformational. If only we had access!
