- |||||||||| [VIRTUAL] IMPACT OF AHSCT ON FERTILITY IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS PATIENTS (On-Demand Library) - Feb 4, 2021 - Abstract #EBMT2021EBMT_2176;
Our data confirm that AHSCT deeply affects gonadal function in females, with more severe impact among older women. It should be pointed out that most of the patients had received cytotoxic treatments before transplant that could have affected gonadal function at baseline and/or might have enhanced AHSCT-related toxicity.

Clinical, Journal: Efficacy of Gemcitabine on Intracranial Erlich Tumor and its Determinants. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 25, 2020 On intramuscular tumor model, gemcitabine showed significant antitumor effect at both 25 and 2.5 mg/kg, indicating a wide range of therapeutic doses of this drug. Pronounced therapeutic effect of gemcitabine on intracranial tumor most likely is due to the small but sufficient concentration of the drug that overcomes the BBB.

[VIRTUAL] Superiority of Thiotepa-Containing Conditioning Regimens in Patients with Primary Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) of the Central Nervous System (CNS) Undergoing Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (autoHCT) (Channel 23 (Virtual Meeting)) - Nov 5, 2020 - Abstract #ASH2020ASH_4405; Extrapolating experience from systemic lymphomas, BEAM (BCNU/etoposide/cytarabine/melphalan) is also prescribed for PCNSL in the U.S. Using the Center for International Blood & Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) registry, we compared outcomes for PCNSL patients undergoing autoHCT using the three most commonly employed conditioning regimens: TBC vs. TT-BCNU vs. BEAM...Variables considered in regression model include patient age, sex, race, performance status, HCT-comorbidity index (HCT-CI), rituximab use during conditioning, interval between diagnosis and HCT, and remission status...Adjusted 3-year PFS favored TBC and TT-BCNU over BEAM and suggest that use of BEAM should be discouraged in this specific setting. Whether TBC or TT-BCNU is the optimal conditioning regimen requires further inquiry in a prospective clinical trial.

[VIRTUAL] Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma (Poster Hall (Virtual Meeting)) - Nov 5, 2020 - Abstract #ASH2020ASH_4138; Conclusions : Upfront ASCT is associated with significantly improved and durable survival in patients with AITL. Receiving more than one prior line of therapy (transplant for relapsed AITL) and elevated LDH at transplant are associated with very poor prognosis, for which allogeneic transplant and alternative novel therapies should be further explored.

[VIRTUAL] Polatuzumab Vedotin-Based Salvage Chemotherapy in the Third-Line or Above Treatment for Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (Poster Hall (Virtual Meeting)) - Nov 5, 2020 - Abstract #ASH2020ASH_3855; The phase II randomized controlled study (GO29365) showed PoV in combination with bendamustine and rituximab (BR) conferred an additional 22% complete response rate for relapsed/refractory DLBCL, compared with BR alone (40% vs. 18%)...Regarding combination therapies, 20 (62.5%) received BR, 5 (15.6%) had rituximab, 5 (15.6%) had rituximab/carmustine-containing regimens, and rituximab/gemcitabine-based ones were given to 4 (12.5%) patients...Conclusion As the third-line or above treatment for DLBCL in this study, the efficacy and safety associated with PoV-based therapies not only were encouraging but also helped bridge to transplants. The application of this monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate in future clinical trials for DLBCL is expected.

However, the high incidence of early death in patients over 70 y suggests that the regimen may be too toxic for elderly individuals.

Clinical, Journal: An atypical presentation of primary central nervous system lymphoma: A case report. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 7, 2020 We report a patient with multifocal PCNSL involving the choroid plexus, who presented with abnormal gait and episodic confusion and memory loss. PCNSL should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute encephalopathy among immunocompetent older individuals who have choroid plexus enhancing lesions.
