Ibrutinib in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: A Retrospective Study - PubMed

Ibrutinib in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: A Retrospective Study - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35115740/

Limited treatment options are available for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (RR DLBCL). Few clinical studies have reported the use of Ibrutinib, a covalent Bruton Tyrosine kinase...


Conclusion/Relevance: The application of Ibrutinib to patients with RR DLBCL has good short-term efficacy, and the adverse reactions are well tolerated. Combined treatment of Ibrutinib with other drugs has been found to more effective than Ibrutinib therapy alone.

ABSTRACT The prognosis of patients with relapsed and refractory primary central nervous system diffuse large B cell lymphoma (PCNSL) is poor and there is no standard salvage treatment currently available....



Conclusion/Relevance: The prognosis of patients with relapsed and refractory primary central nervous system diffuse large B cell lymphoma (PCNSL) is poor and there is no standard salvage treatment currently available. Gene expression profiling and next-generation sequencing have provided massive amounts of data, revealing the pathogenic...

Ibrutinib in Refractory or Relapsing Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma: A Systematic Review - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35076567/

Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare variant of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) representing 1-2% of all NHL cases. PCNSL is defined as a lymphoma that occurs in the...


Conclusion/Relevance: Several studies have recently shown that ibrutinib, a Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, has promising results in the treatment of R/R PCNSL. However, these are preliminary studies with a limited sample size. In this systematic review, we explored and critically appraised the evidence about the efficacy of the novel...

Targeting cellular iron homeostasis with ironomycin in diffuse large B cell lymphoma

Targeting cellular iron homeostasis with ironomycin in diffuse large B cell lymphoma

Source : https://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/early/2022/01/24/0008-5472.CAN-21-0218

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common hematological malignancy. Although more than half of DLBCL patients achieve long-term remission, the majority of remaining patients succumb to the...


Conclusion/Relevance: Significant synergistic effects were also observed by combining ironomycin with Doxorubicin, BH3 mimetics, BTK inhibitors, or Syk inhibitors. Altogether, these data demonstrate that a subgroup of high-risk DLBCL patients can be identified with the IS that can potentially benefit from targeting iron homeostasis.

Determinants of Drug Resistance in B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas: The Case of Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma/Waldenström Macroglobulinemia

Determinants of Drug Resistance in B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas: The Case of Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma/Waldenström Macroglobulinemia

Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fonc.2021.801124/full

Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) is a rare subtype of B cell-derived non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by the abnormal growth of transformed clonal lymphoplasmacytes and plasma cells. This tumor almost always displays the...


Conclusion/Relevance: In this review, we will describe the essential clinical and pathobiological features of LPL/WM. We will also analyze some key aspects about the current knowledge on the mechanisms of drug resistance in this disease, by concisely focusing on conventional drugs, monoclonal antibodies and novel agents, chiefly Bruton's...
