RW pola outcomes by Hans COO @eddiecliff.bsky.social
- 740 pts, 59% R/R
- R/R: ORR 60% non-GC (vs 36% GC), PFS better in non-GC
- 1L: no diff in outcomes
Hans useful in choosing pola in R/R. In 1L, supports POLARIX that pola mitigates worse non-GC outcomes. #lymsm

The first report of quality of life in patients with NLPHL from our ongoing NLPHLPRO multicenter trial (NCT06098430), presented by Dr. Jones at #ISCAYAHL.
Long-term survivors (most who received chemo) have low symptom burden and high global QOL & functioning. #lymsm cc @cuhematology.bsky.social

Patient- vs clinician-reported AEs from POLARIX @bloodjournals.hematology.org:
- symptom incidence & severity much higher measured by PROs
- sustained improvements in all QOL domains except cog functioning (worse R-CHOP arm)
We must measure PROs in #lymsm trials!

CNS penetration of pola @bloodadvances.bsky.social
- 3 pts (1 PCNSL, 2 SCNSL): 2 had CR (although these pts received IT chemo & ibrutinib, respectively)
- pola detected in CSF of CNSL & systemic LBCL pts
Provocative but unclear about single-agent activity. #lymsm

Survival after incidental vs symptomatic FL:
- 908 pts, 29% incidental
- incidental: more early stage & normal LDH
- no diff in EFS, lymphoma-specific survival, or OS between groups
We can answer the "what if this was picked up earlier" question! #lymsm
