ABSTRACT Lymphoma of bone is a rare neoplasm composed of malignant lymphoid cells, producing a tumefactive lesion within bone. We report a 13-year-old male who presented with progressively increasing swellings at the right shoulder and right mid-thigh for one month. Radiological images revealed lytic destructive lesions associated with soft tissue masses in both sites and a pathological fracture on the right humerus. The patient had no significant medical history. Histological, immunohistochemical and fluorescent in-situ hybridization assessment of biopsies from the lesions confirmed the diagnosis of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of bone. Unfortunately, due to coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak, the patient was unable to follow-up treatment and died shortly after establishment of the diagnosis. Delay in diagnosis and treatment is of serious concern when it comes to improve the prognosis of patients with this disease.

Introduction: Little information is available on the outcomes of R-CHOP (rituximab with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone) and R-CVP (rituximab with cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisone) in treatment of the elderly patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), especially in Vietnam. Material and methods: All patients were newly diagnosed with CD20-positive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) at Blood Transfusion and Hematology Hospital, Ho Chi Minh city (BTH) between 01/2013 and 01/2018 who were age 60 years or older at diagnosis. A retrospective analysis of these patients was perfomed. Results: Twenty-one Vietnamese patients (6 males and 15 females) were identified and the median age was 68.9 (range 60-80). Most of patients have comorbidities and intermediate-risk. The most common sign was lymphadenopathy (over 95%). The proportion of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was highest (71%). The percentage of patients reaching complete response (CR) after six cycle of chemotherapy was 76.2%. The median follow-up was 26 months, event-free survival (EFS) was 60% and overall survival (OS) was 75%. Adverse effects of rituximab were unremarkable, treatment-related mortality accounted for less than 10%. There was no difference in drug toxicity between two regimens. Conclusions: R-CHOP, R-CVP yielded a good result and acceptable toxicity in treatment of elderly patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In patients with known cardiac history, omission of anthracyclines is reasonable and R-CVP provides a competitive complete response rate.

AbstractNeurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is an inherited, autosomal-dominant, tumor predisposition syndrome with a birth incidence as high as 1:2000. A patient with NF1 is four to five times more likely to develop a malignancy as compared to the general population. The number of epidemiologic studies on lymphoproliferative malignancies in patients with NF1 is limited. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence rate of lymphoproliferative malignancies (lymphoma and leukemia) in NF1 patients followed in our referral center for neurofibromatoses. We used the Informatics for Integrated Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) platform to extract information from the hospital’s electronic health records. We performed a keyword search on clinical notes generated between Jan/01/2014 and May/11/2020 for patients aged 18 years or older. A total of 1507 patients with confirmed NF1 patients aged 18 years and above were identified (mean age 39.2 years; 57% women). The total number of person-years in follow-up was 57,736 (men, 24,327 years; women, 33,409 years). Mean length of follow-up was 38.3 years (median, 36 years). A total of 13 patients had a medical history of either lymphoma or leukemia, yielding an overall incidence rate of 22.5 per 100,000 (0.000225, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.000223–0.000227). This incidence is similar to that of the general population in France (standardized incidence ratio 1.07, 95% CI 0.60–1.79). Four patients had a medical history leukemia and 9 patients had a medical history of lymphoma of which 7 had non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and 2 had Hodgkin lymphoma. Our results show that adults with NF1 do not have an increased tendency to develop lymphoproliferative malignancies, in contrast to the general increased risk of malignancy. While our results are consistent with the recent population-based study in Finland, they are in contrast with the larger population-based study in England whereby NF1 individuals were found to be 3 times more likely to develop both non-Hodgkin lymphoma and lymphocytic leukemia. Large-scale epidemiological studies based on nationwide data sets are thus needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract BACKGROUND Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) are very rare in children. CLINICAL CASE: An 11-year-old male presented with a 2 months history with myoclonic movements in the upper right limb, and a sudden frontal headache, gait disturbance due to right hemiparesis and an ipsilateral convulsive episode. Upon admission he had critical condition, with hypertensive skull syndrome, Glasgow of 12, Karnofsky 40%, right hemiparesis, swallowing disorder, facial paralysis, and loss of photo motor reflex and unilateral amaurosis. A CT and MRI showed a huge tumor mass in the left tempo-parietal region, infiltrating the white matter and shifting the midline. A Tumor biopsy was done, and reported diffuse small cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma of high-grade, Burkitt type. Systemic lymphoma workup was negative. He received six cycles of chemotherapy based on high dose methotrexate, rituximab and triple intrathecal.After the second cycle an ophthalmologic evaluation was done, and found infiltration to the right retina, for which 6 cycles of intra vitreous chemotherapy with methotrexate were applied, he showed an excellent response, and recovered all his neurological functions except that right hemianopia persist. Control MRI showed partial response at 2nd cycle and complete response after the 4th cycle. No Radiation was performed. CONCLUSION This report highlights the fact that pediatric PCNSL may be effectively treated by a combination of HDMTX and rituximab-based chemoimmunotherapy without irradiation. Lack of awareness of this rare entity may lead to extense resections of brain, and potential permanent secuelae that were avoided in this illustrative case.

Background: CD47 is a myeloid checkpoint upregulated by tumor cells to evade the host's immune response. The high affinity CD47 blocker fusion protein, ALX148, is linked to an inactive immunoglobulin Fc region to minimize toxicity. ALX148 is half the size of an antibody, has been well tolerated, and enhances the innate and adaptive immune response against cancer in combination with anticancer therapeutics across solid and hematologic tumors (ASCO 2020 #3056, EHA 2020 #EP1247). Characterization of ALX148's tolerability profile and antitumor activity in combination with rituximab are reported in patients (pts) with non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). Methods: Patients with relapsed or refractory CD20-positive B-cell NHL for which no curative therapy was available received ALX148 (10 mg/kg QW or 15 mg/kg QW) in combination with rituximab (375 mg/m2 weekly for 4 doses followed by once monthly for 8 doses). The primary endpoint for the safety population was dose limiting toxicity (DLT). Tumor response, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) markers were assessed in all pts. Data are reported as of 30Jun2020 in these fully enrolled cohorts with final data to be updated at the time of presentation. Results: A total of 33 patients with NHL were administered ALX148 in combination with rituximab. Twenty-two pts with median age of 66 years (range 32-80) were administered ALX148, 10 mg/kg QW (ALX10), in combination with rituximab [DLBCL, n=11; mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), n=4; follicular lymphoma (FL), n=5; and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), n=2]. Eleven pts with median age of 64 years (range 53-78) were administered ALX148, 15 mg/kg QW (ALX15), in combination with rituximab (DLBCL, n=6; MCL, n=1; FL, n=3; and MZL, n=1). There have been no DLTs reported in the fully enrolled safety cohorts, and the MTD of ALX148 in combination with rituximab has not been reached. The maximum ALX148 administered dose is 15 mg/kg QW. Twenty-eight pts experienced any AE, while 16 pts reported mostly low grade treatment-related adverse events (TRAE). The most common TRAEs were rash (21%, n=7), fatigue (9%, n=3), anemia, nausea, neutropenia, and pruritus (6%, n=2 each). With a median follow up of 14 months, objective responses were observed across all histologies in response-evaluable ALX10 pts: 40.9% ORR (4CR,5PR, 6SD, n=22 total) and with a median follow up of 9 months in ALX15 pts: 63.6% ORR (3CR, 4PR, 1SD, n=11 total). Preliminary results indicate favorable ALX148 PK and near complete CD47 receptor occupancy across the dosing interval. Final results will be updated at time of presentation. Conclusions: ALX148 demonstrates excellent tolerability with durable responses in combination with rituximab in patients with relapsed/refractory NHL. The MTD of ALX148 in combination with rituximab was not reached. Encouraging preliminary activity and favorable PK/PD characteristics in combination with rituximab were observed at all dose levels with greater objective response rates reported at the MAD of 15 mg/kg QW.

Abstract Introduction JWCAR029 is a novel CD19-directed 4-1BB stimulated chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell type, which is different from JWCAR017 with independent production of CD4 and CD8 T cells and transfusion in non-fixed ratio. We conducted a single arm, open-label, dose escalation Phase I trial of JWCAR029 in relapsed and refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NCT03355859). Methods From January to July 2018, 10 patients have been enrolled in this trial, including eight diffused large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and two MALT lymphoma, with median age of 47 years (range 32 to 59 years). All the patients received immunochemotherapy as induction and more than two lines of salvage treatment. Two patients received bridging chemotherapy after T-cell collection due to rapid tumor progression, followed by re-evaluation before CAR-T cell infusion. Lymphodepletion preconditioning was accomplished by fludarabine 25mg/m2/d and cyclophosphamide 250mg/m2/d on Day-4 to D-2, followed by CAR-T cell infusion on Day0. JWCAR029 was administrated as a single infusion in escalation dose levels, from 2.5×107 CAR-T cells (dose level 1, DL1) to 5.0×107 CAR-T cells (dose level 2, DL2) and to 1.0×108 CAR-T cells (dose level 3, DL3) according to mTPI-2 algorithm. Circulating blood count, serum biochemistry, and coagulation status were follow-up after infusion. Cytokines were assessed on a Luminex platform. Tumor evaluation was performed on Day 29 by PET-CT. PK data were detected by flow cytometry and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction system. All the adverse events were recorded. The study was approved by the Shanghai Rui Jin Hospital Review Board with informed consent obtained in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Results The demographic characteristics of the patients were demonstrated in Table 1. Among six evaluable patients (3 of DL1 and 3 of DL2), the ORR was 100% on Day 29, including four complete remission and 2 partial remission. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was 100% in Gr 1, with main symptoms as fever (<39.0 degrees), fatigue, and muscle soreness. No neurotoxicity was observed. Four of the six patients with fever >38.0 degrees used prophylactic IL-6 Inhibitor (8mg/kg, ACTEMRA, two patients administered twice). No patients received steroids. The CRS showed no difference between dose level groups (p>0.99). Adverse effects included leukopenia (Gr 3-4: 83.3%, Gr 1-2: 16.7%), hypofibrinogenemia (Gr 1: 16.7%, Gr 2-4: 0%), liver dysfunction (Gr 1: 33.3%, Gr 2-4: 0%), elevated CRP (Gr 1: 83.3%, Gr 2-4: 0%), ferritin (Gr 1-2: 83.3%, Gr 2-4: 0%), or IL-6 (Gr 1-2:100%, Gr 3-4: 0%, Table 2). Conclusion Although long-term follow-up was needed, the preliminary data of six patients in this trial have demonstrated high response rates and safety of JWCAR029 in treating relapsed and refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
