Fujimoto et al - Allo / auto in ENKT? Japanese data. • if in CR, ASCT appear superior to allo • if in PR, allo appears preferable • no impact on source of allo cells I normally allo these pts in CR1 so potentially practise changing. #18ICML #ICML25 #lymsm

Held et al - NIVEAU trial. Nivo-GemOx vs GemOx RR PTCL • 76 pts part of bigger trial • PFS no diff but was ⬆️ when MVA performed • responses ⬆️ • BUT ⬆️ toxic incl ‘infn’ (?hyperinfl state instead); ⬆️ deaths. Doubt there will be further development. #18ICML #ICML25 #lymsm

Davison et al - PRO substudy of S1826 substudy. Interesting outputs: • NivoAVD showed more fatigued compared with BV-AVD on treatment but did not meet ‘clin significant’ threshold. • BV-AVD showed excess neuropathy which had a clinically meaningful impact. #ICML25 #lymsm

Great work by @ABarrettHaem. NHSE data, older #Hodgkin pts. Outcomes ⬆️ with dox. Clearly may reflect selection, but interesting assocn seen between regional difference in dox use and outcome. Take home message: if safe to use dox then do use it! #18ICML #ICML25 #lymsm

Rossi et al - baseline MTV, Dmax & esp combo, assoc with PFS. Independent effect of IPSS. Both factors improve prognostic impact of iPET. Based on AHL2011 study so all have 2x eacBEACOPDac as 1st 2 cycle. #18ICML #ICML25

Herrera et al - ctDNA in S1826 • 97% ctDNA + baseline • clearance at C3D1 assoc with PFS • within pos pts, those with minor ⬇️ assoc with esp poor outcomes • EOT ctDNA detection also assoc with poor outcomes CtDNA ripe for response adapted trials. #18ICML #ICML25 #lymsm

Ahmed et al - EBV & cHL subtype in S1826 study • EBV+ pts do much better with NAVD compared with BV-AVD (EBV- also do better but less marked) • non-NS histology also benefited more from NAVD. Biology is important! #lymsm #18ICML #ICML25

Update on UK real world bispecific data. ITT ORR 41% & CRR 22.2%. G3+ infn 29%. PS, prior benda & refractory to last line assoc with worse outcome. Clear that some very ill and heavily pretreated pts being given bispecifics in real world setting. Should they be? #BSH2025 @bsochaem.bsky.social

Great talk by Davis Lewis. Should we perform ASCT in any patient with mantle cell lymphoma? He argues no - irrespective of MRD data or use of BTKi 1L. Study by Fenske et was MRD driven but only 9% MRD- & the +ve pts did about the same as the -ve. #BSH2025 @bsochaem.bsky.social

Great to see this published! Effect of replacing procarbazine for dacarbazine in escBEACOPP for Hodgkin treatment. Hugely beneficial effect on genotoxicity. Really no role for procarbazine in front line Hodgkin nowadays. #lymsm www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
thelancet.com
The genomic and clinical consequences of replacing procarbazine with dacarbazine in escalated BEACOPP for Hodgkin lymphoma: a retrospective, observational study
Procarbazine induces a higher mutation burden and novel mutational signatures in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma treated with eBEACOPP and their germline DNA, raising concerns for the genomic health of survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma and hereditary consequences for their offspring. However, replacing procarbazine with dacarbazine appears to mitigate gonadal and stem-cell toxicity while maintaining similar clinical efficacy.
