ESMO Congress: Hematologic Malignancies

Bortezomib, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, prednisone, and cytarabine hydrochloride generated robust responses with a tolerable safety profile when delivered as first-line therapy in patients with marginal zone lymphoma.

The combination of sobuzoxane and etoposide plus rituximab prolonged survival and showcased a tolerable safety profile in patients with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma aged 80 years and older.

The novel CD20xCD3 bispecific antibody EX103 displayed a favorable safety profile and produced preliminary antitumor activity in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

GSK3326595, a PRMT5 inhibitor, displayed modest efficacy and safety signals that were consistent with those that were previously reported with the agent among patients with advanced solid tumors.

Results from a retrospective analysis presented during the 2022 ESMO Congress indicated that circulating tumor DNA could potentially be leveraged as a prognostic factor and a tumor-specific biomarker for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in China.

The combination of orelabrutinib and R-CHOP elicited a favorable overall response rate and progression-free response rate in patients with previously untreated non–germinal center B-cell–like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with extranodal disease.
