Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) and T-Cell Lymphoma — Christopher R Flowers, MD, MS

  • Efficacy and safety data with the use of ibrutinib alone or in combination with other systemic therapies for previously untreated MCL; ongoing and planned Phase III trials
  • Clinical research data supporting the FDA approvals of ibrutinib, acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib in relapsed/refractory MCL; patient selection for use in routine practice and ongoing investigation
  • Early activity, ongoing trials and current nonresearch role, if any, of venetoclax in relapsed/refractory MCL
  • Role of brentuximab vedotin (BV) in combination with AVD (doxorubicin/vinblastine/dacarbazine) as first-line therapy for advanced classical HL; long-term follow-up from the Phase III ECHELON-1 trial
  • Results from the Phase III KEYNOTE-204 trial evaluating pembrolizumab versus BV for patients with relapsed/refractory classical HL; implications for clinical practice
  • Available activity and safety data with and ongoing evaluation of immune checkpoint inhibitors alone or in combination with other systemic approaches (eg, chemotherapy, BV) for patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory HL
  • FDA approval of BV in combination with chemotherapy for previously untreated systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma or other CD30-expressing peripheral T-cell lymphomas; diagnostic and clinical implications

Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL); Advances in CAR T-Cell Therapy for DLBCL and Other Lymphomas — Jeremy Abramson, MD

  • Available efficacy and safety data leading to the FDA approval of polatuzumab vedotin in combination with bendamustine/rituximab for patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL; ongoing Phase III POLARIX trial
  • Longer-term follow-up from clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of axicabtagene ciloleucel, tisagenlecleucel and lisocabtagene maraleucel in DLBCL
  • Patient identification and appropriate referral for consideration of CAR T-cell therapy in DLBCL
  • Key findings from the Phase I/II TRANSCEND CLL 004 trial assessing lisocabtagene maraleucel in relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia
  • Recent FDA approval and optimal incorporation of brexucabtagene autoleucel into the management of relapsed/refractory MCL
  • Rationale for the FDA RMAT (regenerative medicine advanced therapy) designation for tisagenlecleucel for patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma; ongoing evaluation and development plans
  • Other recently approved (eg, selinexor) and promising investigational (eg, mosunetuzumab, tafasitamab) agents in DLBCL

Target Audience
This program is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other allied healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Learning Objectives

  • Review recent therapeutic advances and related FDA authorizations for newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and use this information to enhance decision-making for patients.
  • Appraise brentuximab vedotin as a component of first-line therapy for newly diagnosed classical HL, and assess the current and future effects on routine clinical practice.
  • Compare and contrast the mechanisms of action, efficacy and safety of approved and investigational chimeric antigen receptor-directed T-cell therapies to determine the current and/or potential utility of each in the management of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma and other lymphomas.
  • Appreciate the FDA approval of brentuximab vedotin in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisone for previously untreated CD30-positive peripheral T-cell lymphoma, and counsel patients about the associated risks and benefits.
  • Assess the ongoing clinical trials evaluating other novel investigational approaches for HL and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and obtain consent from appropriate patients for study participation.
