Biomarker, Journal, IO biomarker: Prognostication in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 8, 2024 In the context of the aggressive transformation of CLL, namely Richter syndrome, the clonal relationship to the CLL counterpart represents the strongest prognostic biomarker. Clonally related Richter syndrome still represents an unmet clinical need which requires further efforts to identify new therapeutic strategies.

Journal: An indirect comparison of acalabrutinib with and without obinutuzumab versus zanubrutinib in treatment-naive CLL. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 3, 2024 P3 No other significant differences in safety were observed. In summary, compared with zanubrutinib, acalabrutinib plus obinutuzumab had longer INV-PFS with increased odds of neutropenia and arthralgia, whereas acalabrutinib monotherapy had similar INV-PFS with lower odds of any grade hypertension.
- |||||||||| OFF-LABEL USE OF BIOLOGICS AND SMALL MOLECULES IN SJ () - May 29, 2024 - Abstract #EULAR2024EULAR_3111;
Nearly 85% of therapies are directed against B cells (overwhelmingly rituximab), with exceptional cases of new anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies or combined therapy with rituximab and belimumab. Mortality is higher than expected in SjD treated with the biologic and small molecule therapies [1], infections (notably COVID-19 in patients treated with rituximab) and cancer progression being the most frequent causes of death, thus highlighting the need for defining advanced treatment indications in SjD.

Covalent BTKi-refractory patients should be treated with venetoclax plus rituximab, whereas venetoclax-refractory CLL may be treated with second generation BTKi in the case of early relapse, while venetoclax plus rituximab might be used if late relapse has occurred. On these grounds, here we provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art therapeutic algorithms for treatment-na

Journal: Polatuzumab vedotin, venetoclax, and an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody in relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. (Pubmed Central) - May 3, 2024 CR rates at EOI were 59.2% (FL) and 31.3% (DLBCL); median progression-free survival was 22.8?months (95% confidence interval [CI], 14.5-not evaluable) and 4.6?months (95% CI, 3.6-8.1), respectively. Polatuzumab vedotin plus venetoclax and obinutuzumab/rituximab had acceptable safety in patients with R/R FL or DLBCL, with promising response rates in R/R FL, including high-risk patients.

Given encouraging outcomes with CAR T cell therapy and BsAbs, multiple trials are testing these highly active agents in earlier lines of therapy and among high-risk patients with early relapse after frontline chemoimmunotherapy. Additonal studies and follow-up are needed to understand how these novel agents may further change treatment algorithms for FL.
