Chaitra S. Ujjani, MD, discusses the various therapeutic classes and agents that are showing the most promise in the field of follicular lymphoma.

Pieternella J. Lugtenburg, MD, PhD, an internist and hematologist at Erasmus Medical Center in Rottenham, Netherlands, discusses the use of rituximab as maintenance therapy in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Patients with activated B-cell-type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with a poor prognosis may benefit from frontline treatment with lenalidomide plus standard R-CHOP, according to subgroup data from the phase III ROBUST trial presented at the 2019 International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma.

Julia M. Vose, MD, professor and chief in the Division of Oncology/Hematology at University of Nebraska Medical Center discusses the rationale for the phase I/II trial of acalabrutinib (Calquence) plus pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

The FDA has granted an accelerated approval to polatuzumab vedotin (Polivy) for use in combination with bendamustine and rituximab for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Matthew S. McKinney, MD, discusses exciting treatment advances made in Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, specifically the compelling research in follicular lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma.

The FDA has granted copanlisib (Aliqopa) a breakthrough therapy designation for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed marginal zone lymphoma who have received at least 2 prior therapies.

Ann S. LaCasce, MD, MMSc, director of Dana-Farber/Partners CancerCare Hematology-Medical Oncology Fellowship Program, institute physician, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and associate professor of medicine, Harvard Medical School, discusses the FDA approval of lenalidomide (Revlimid) and rituximab (Rituxan; R2) in non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The FDA has approved the R2 regimen of lenalidomide plus rituximab for use in patients with previously treated follicular lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma.

The combination of lenalidomide (Revlimid) with rituximab (Rituxan), cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP; R2-CHOP) did not improve progression-free survival compared with placebo and R-CHOP as a frontline therapy in patients with activated B-cell-type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, missing the primary endpoint of the phase III ROBUST trial.

Daratumumab was associated with low overall response rates in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma, missing the primary endpoint of a phase II trial published in Clinical Lymphoma, Myeloma & Leukemia.1

The R2 regimen of lenalidomide plus rituximab significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death compared with rituximab alone in patients with relapsed/refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma, according to results from the pivotal phase III AUGMENT trial.

Paul J. Shaughnessy, MD, medical director of adult blood and marrow transplant at the Texas Transplant Institute, discusses unanswered questions in the field of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Lawrence D. Kaplan, MD, clinical professor of medicine, director, Adult Lymphoma Program, Division of Hematology-Oncology, University of California, San Francisco Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, discusses a phase Ib study with combination immune macrophage checkpoint blockade in indolent lymphoma.
