Primary Cutaneous Pleomorphic Small/Medium Sized T-Cell Lymphoma And Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma, Unspecified, Presenting in the SKIN (CD30-Negative Large Cell T Cell Lymphoma)

Abstract In the present study the clinicopathologic and immunophenotypic features of 82 patients with a CD30– peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified, presenting in the skin were evaluated. The purpose of this study was to find out whether subdivision of these lymphomas on the basis of cell size, phenotype, or presentation with only skin lesions is clinically relevant. The study group included 46 primary cutaneous CD30– large cell lymphomas and 17 small/medium-sized T-cell lymphomas as well as 17 peripheral T-cell lymphomas with both skin and extracutaneous disease at the time of diagnosis. Patients with primary cutaneous small- or medium-sized T-cell lymphomas had a significantly better prognosis (5-year-overall survival, 45%) than patients with primary cutaneous CD30– large T-cell lymphomas (12%) and patients presenting with concurrent extracutaneous disease (12%). The favorable prognosis in this group with primary cutaneous small- or medium-sized T-cell lymphomas was particularly found in patients presenting with localized skin lesions expressing a CD3+CD4+CD8– phenotype. In the primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) group and in the concurrent group, neither extent of skin lesions nor phenotype had any effect on survival. Our results indicate that peripheral T-cell lymphomas, unspecified, presenting in the skin have an unfavorable prognosis, irrespective of the presence or absence of extracutaneous disease at the time of diagnosis, cell size, and expression of a CD4+ or CD8+ phenotype. The only exception was a group of primary cutaneous small- or medium-sized pleomorphic CTCLs with a CD3+CD4+CD8– phenotype and presenting with localized skin lesions.

AbstractPeripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are biologically and clinically heterogeneous diseases almost all of which are associated with poor outcomes. Recent advances in gene expression profiling that helps in diagnosis and prognostication of different subtypes and next-generation sequencing have given new insights into the pathogenesis and molecular pathway of PTCL. Here, we focus on a broader description of mutational insights into the common subtypes of PTCL including PTCL not other specified type, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and extra-nodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type, and also present an overview of new targeted therapies currently in various stages of clinical trials.

Abstract Background: Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) are a biologically and clinically heterogeneous group of rare diseases arising from mature or activated post-thymic T lymphocytes. Correspond to 10% to 15% of lymphoid malignancies with marked geographical variation in incidence. According to the WHO classification they are divided into nodal, extranodal, primary cutaneous and leukemic or disseminated and encompass 18 distinct entities. The nodal group involves the peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), angioimmunoblastic lymphoma (AITL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma ALK positive (ALCL-ALK+) and anaplastic large cell lymphoma ALK negative (ALCL-ALK-). The literature of PTCL is scarce, especially in our country where data of epidemiology, clinical features and outcomes are usually rarely available. So, to better understand PTCL we performed a retrospective study with patients treated in a reference service for cancer treatment in Brazil. Methods: Eight-seven nodal PTCL patients treated with anthracyclne-based regimen (CHOP or, CHOEP) from January 2000 to June 2014 were evaluated retrospectively at the Medicine School of Sao Paulo University, Brazil. All patients lower than 60 years were consolidated with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in first CR or PR except that with ALCL-ALK+ diagnosis. Refractory and relapsed patients were salvaged with 3-4 cycles of IVAC (Ifosphamide 1.5 g/m2 i.v D1-D5, etoposide 100mg/m2 i.v D1-D5, aracytin 2g/m2 i.v twice a day D1-D2) regimen and submitted to ASCT. It was performed a central histopathological review and clinical and epidemiological data were obtained from medical records. Patients were evaluated for overall response (OR) including complete response (CR) and partial response (PR), overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS). Statistical analysis was performed using the STATA-3 program using and a p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Of the 87 patients, 34 (39.08%) cases were classified as ALCL-ALK-, 27 (31.03%) as PTCL-NOS, 16 (18.39%) as ALCL-ALK+, 6 (6.89%) as AITL and in 4 (4.1%) cases the diagnosis could not be performed and an expansion of the immunohistochemical is ongoing. Thirty-six (45.38%) cases were female and 51(54.62%) were male, 59(67.81%) patients were lower than 60 years. Seventy-six (87.35%) patients presented in advanced stage (III or IV) at diagnosis but 73(83.90%) patients presented an ECOG < 2 and 14(16.10%) ≥ 2. Eighteen (20.70%) patients were of low-risk, 26 (29.88%) of low-intermediate risk and 43(49.42%) of high-intermediate and high-risk of international prognostic index (IPI). The CR and PR was obtained for 44(50.57%) and 8(9.19%), respectively with 59.76% OR. Thirty (34.48%) patients were primary refractory and five remain under treatment. In a median of follow of 30 months, ALCL-ALK+ show higher OS (median 140.98 months) than ALCL-ALK- (44.20 months), PTCL-NOS (median 20.62 months) and AITL (median 7.24 months) (p=0.41) (Figure 1A). The median of PFS was 3.84 months for AITL, 23.44 months for ALCL-ALK+, 40.03 months for PTCL-NOS and was not yet reached for ALCL-ALK- (p=0.0006) (Figure 1B). Figure 1: Overall survival (1A) and Progression Free Survival (1B) of nodal PTCL Figure 1:. Overall survival (1A) and Progression Free Survival (1B) of nodal PTCL Figure 2 Figure 2. Conclusion: In this study we showed that ALCL-ALK+ as well as found in the literature presented a better OS in comparison to others nodal T-cell lymphoma as AITL, PTCL-NOS and ALCL-ALK-. Surprisingly the PFS of ALCL-ALK+ was statistically significant lower than of ALCL-ALK-. We thought that this result may be explained because in our service until to perform this analysis we did not indicate ASCT in first CR for ALCL-ALK+, but for all ALCL-ALK-. This hypothesis may be reinforced as the most of our cases presented high-intermediate and high-risk of IPI and that could equalize the favorable effect of ALK expression. In addition, we changed our approach and we are also indicating ASCT in first line for patients with ALCL-ALK+ with intermediate-high and high-risk of IPI .

Abstract Background: Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a heterogeneous group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas associated with poor prognosis and repeated recurrence for most subtypes. Currently, anthracycline-based therapies such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP) or CHOP-like therapies are recommended as the first-line treatment for PTCL, but the prognosis remains poor with most patients relapsing within 5 years. Thus, improved treatment strategies are still needed. Belinostat is a potent, pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor that was recently approved in the United States for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL (R/R PTCL). Approval was based on results from the pivotal Phase 2 BELIEF study (O'Connor et al, JCO, 2015) of belinostat in R/R PTCL, which demonstrated durable clinical benefit (objective response rate [ORR] 25.8%) and tolerability. Since belinostat (Bel) and each of the components of the CHOP regimen target different aspects of the cell cycle with different mechanisms of action, there is potential for a synergistic effect of a Bel-CHOP combination treatment regimen for patients with PTCL. Methods: Patients with PTCL received CHOP in association with 1000 mg/m2 of belinostat on various schedules, repeated every 21-days for up to 6 cycles. The cohort schema followed a traditional "3+3" dose escalation design. The objective of Part A of the study was to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of the Bel-CHOP combination. Once the MTD was determined, at least 10 more patients were to be treated in the Expansion Phase (Part B). Belinostat was to be administered as a 1000 mg/m2 IV infusion once daily for up to 5 days, depending on the assigned cohort (Fig 1). The starting cohort was Cohort 3 (CHOP + 1000 mg/m2 of daily belinostat on Days 1-3). Patients received primary prophylaxis with growth factor (G-CSF) support. Dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) were considered during the 1st cycle and included: non-hematological toxicity Grades 3-4, platelet count < 25 X 109/L at any time or ANC < 0.5 X 109/L lasting more than 7 days despite G-CSF administration. The primary endpoint of the study was the determination of the MTD of the Bel-CHOP combination. Secondary endpoints included safety, tolerability and ORR (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) and pharmacokinetics. Results: A total of 23 patients were enrolled in the study, 11 of which were treated in Part A. One patient in Part A was deemed inevaluable because the patient died due to disease progression before completing Cycle 1. The MTD was determined to be 1000 mg/m2 on Days 1-5 (Cohort 5); 12 more patients were then treated at this dose level (Part B). The only DLT experienced in the study was in Cohort 3 (Grade 3 Nausea and Vomiting). At the time of this abstract, 18/23 patients (78%) have completed all 6 cycles of Bel-CHOP, with 87% completing at least 4 cycles. Ten patients (43%) had at least one serious adverse event (SAE) and 18 (78%) had at least one Grade 3 or 4 adverse event (AE). The most frequent Grade 3/4 AEs were hematological in nature: neutrophil count decreased (26%), anemia (22%), neutropenia (17%) and white blood cell count decreased (17%). The ORR for the18 patients that have completed an End of Study Visit is 89% (16/18), with the vast majority achieving a CR [72% (n=13)], and 17% (n=3) a PR. Progressive disease was reported in 2 patients. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that the combination of belinostat with CHOP (Bel-CHOP) is well tolerated, with all components of CHOP and belinostat being given at their standard therapeutic doses. The rates of AEs were consistent with those typically reported with CHOP alone, and clinical activity was demonstrated with a response rate of 89% based on 18 evaluable patients. Thus, Bel-CHOP is a promising new regimen in PTCL that will be further tested in a Phase 3 randomized trial. Table. Table. Figure 1.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a heterogeneous group of aggressive lymphomas with usually poor prognosis. Age was identified as the independent risk factors in many studies. Elderly patients suffer from comorbidities, impaired organ functions, and poor performance status resulting in worse tolerance of therapy and its efficacy. Data on outcome, prognosis and treatment efficacy for elderly patients with PTCLs are sparse. METHODS: We used data of 941 newly diagnosed PTCLs registered into CLSG database between January 1999 and March 2015 with last follow-up in February 2016. CLSG database covers approximately 85% of all newly diagnosed NonHodgkin´s lymphomas (NHLs) in Czech Republic. For the analysis, 208 patients with age >70 years at diagnosis were selected. RESULTS: Totally, PTCLs accounted for about 8.7% (454/5210) patients of all NHLs in population younger 60 years, but only about 5.8% (208/3561) NHL patients older 70 years. Median age was 76ys (71-91ys), 94 (45%) were women, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was elevated in 130/208 (62.5%) pts., ECOG ≥2 had 80 (38%) pts., and advanced clinical stage III-IV presented 132/208 (63.5%) pts. We identified following PTCL subtypes: PTCL-NOS (Peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified) 89/208 (43%), Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) 34/208 (16.3%), Cutaneous Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (C-ALCL) 10/208 (4.8%), Mycosis fungoides/ Sézary syndrome (MF/SS) together 29/208 (14%), NK/T nasal lymphoma (NK/T) 2/208 (1%), Angioimmunoblastic lymphoma (AITL) 17/208 (8.1%), Cutaneous CD30+ T lymphoproliferative disease 1/208 (0.5%), T-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia (T-LBL) 3/208 (1.4%), T-cell lymphoma without specification (T-NHL) 17/208 (8.1%). Distribution of PTCL subtypes changed significantly with age. There was higher proportion of PTCL-NOS (43% vs. 34%; p.001) and MF/SS (14% vs. 4.8%; p<.001) in elderly patients (>70ys) compared to younger cohort (≤70ys; n=725). Contrary, percentage of ALCL (16.3% vs. 27%; p<.001) with main difference in ALK+ cases (2% vs. 11%; p<.001), and NK/T (1% vs. 5%; p.003) was lower in elderly PTCLs, whereas the incidence of AITL (8.1% vs. 6.6%) or EATL (3.4% vs. 3%) was similar in both age subgroups. For the whole cohort of PTCLs (>70ys), the 5-year overall survival (OS) was 30% and 5-year progression free survival (PFS) was 21% regardless of subtype or stage. Progression is fatal event in elderly patients with median survival about 8 months only. There were significant survival differences between patients (>70ys vs. ≤70ys) according to PTCL subtype; PTCL-NOS 5 yr-OS 23% vs. 43% (p.00001), ALCL ALK+ 5-yr OS not reached vs. 79% (p.01), ALCL ALK- 5 yr-OS 24% vs. 50% (p.001). Patients with AITL or EATL showed no age-related survival differences. First-line chemotherapy was administered in majority of cases (67%); CHOP-like regimen was given in 78 (37%) pts., COP-like in 44 (21%) pts., and other chemotherapy in 18 (9%) cases. Local therapy (surgery, radiotherapy) was administered in first line in 17 (8%) pts., no or palliative therapy (corticoids) was given in 34 (17%) pts., initial therapy was unknown in 17 (8%) cases. We compared two subgroups of patients according to first line chemotherapy CHOP (n=75) vs. COP (n=41). Median age was 74ys (71-84) vs. 79ys (71-89), high IPI was presented in 29% vs. 50% of patients (p.001). Complete response (CR) was achieved in 35/75 (47%) CHOP treated patients, and in 7/41 (17%) patients managed with COP (p.001). Contrary, there were 12/75 (16%) progression in CHOP arm compared to 10/41 (24%) COP treated pts. Five-year OS was 28% vs. 15% better in CHOP group (p.029) and 5-yr PFS 25% vs. 10%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In population-based analysis of adult Caucasian PTCL patients, we identified mild decreasing incidence with age. There were significant age-related distribution differences of PTCL subtypes with shift to preponderance of PTCL-NOS, Mycosis fungoides, and NK/T nasal lymphoma in elderly. Worse survival in elderly PTCLs in comparison to younger patients was evident especially for PTCL-NOS and ALCL subtypes. Despite the baseline differences (COP managed pts. had higher IPI), there is tendency that anthracycline-based chemotherapy (CHOP) brings better results with higher proportion of CR and lower progression/relapse rate projected in longer survival.

ABSTRACT: Lymphomas are the tumors most frequently associated with the death or euthanasia of dogs in most parts of the world. In dogs, they almost always occur as disseminated (multicentric lymphoma), gastrointestinal (alimentary lymphoma), or nodal mediastinal (mediastinal lymphoma) diseases. However, other uncommon presentations can occasionally occur. This study aimed to establish the prevalence of these unusual types of lymphoma and demonstrate to veterinary pathologists how they present pathologically. From a total of 100 cases of lymphoma in dogs diagnosed between 1965 and 2017, 16 cases (16/100) were considered by us as non-traditional presentations of the disease: follicular lymphoma, (5/100), peripheral T-cell lymphoma, NOS (2/100), angiocentric lymphoma (2/100), intravascular large T-cell lymphoma (2/100), lymphomatoid granulomatosis (1/100), anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (1/100), hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (1/100), and chronic small B-cell lymphocytic lymphoma, intermediate type (1/100). We hope that the results presented here can help veterinary pathologists to recognize such cases of “atypical lymphoma” in their diagnostic routines.

Secondary Endpoints

Background In the ECHELON-2 phase 3 clinical trial, brentuximab vedotin, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (A+CHP) showed clinically meaningful and statistically significant efficacy in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) across a range of CD30 expression levels, including the lowest eligible level of 10% by IHC. In addition to the ECHELON-2 study, response data are available from an additional 344 subjects with CD30-expressing PTCL and other large-cell lymphomas (including angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and peripheral T-cell lymphoma-NOS) who had been treated in studies with brentuximab vedotin as a single agent or in combination with chemotherapy, in both frontline and relapsed/refractory settings. Among these 344 subjects, 184 had tumors with CD30 expression <10% by local assessment, including 83/184 with undetectable CD30 by immunohistochemistry (CD30=0). Responses to brentuximab vedotin have been observed at all levels of CD30 expression, including in tumors with undetectable CD30 levels (Advani 2019; Horwitz 2019). It is hypothesized that A+CHP will demonstrate efficacy in subjects with PTCL and CD30 expression <10% because: i) brentuximab vedotin has shown activity in lymphomas with low CD30 expression; and ii) the activity of CHP chemotherapy in PTCL is unrelated to CD30 expression. This study will include subjects with PTCL subtypes other than systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (sALCL). Study Design and Methods This is a dual-cohort, open-label, multicenter, phase 2 clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of A+CHP in subjects with non-sALCL PTCL and CD30 expression <10% on tumor cells. Enrollment will be based on CD30 expression per local lab assessment. Subjects will be assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts based on CD30 expression; up to approximately 40 subjects will be enrolled in the CD30 negative (expression <1%) cohort and approximately 40 subjects will be enrolled in the CD30 positive (expression ≥1% to <10%) cohort. An archived tumor biopsy specimen will be submitted to a central pathology lab for confirmation of CD30 expression. Only subjects with CD30 expression <10% per central confirmation will be analyzed for the primary and secondary endpoints. Subjects will receive 21-day cycles of A+CHP for a target of 6-8 cycles. The primary endpoint of this trial is objective response rate (ORR) per blinded independent central review (BICR). Key secondary endpoints include CR and PFS per BICR and overall survival. Key inclusion criteria include the following: subjects aged 18 years and older with newly diagnosed PTCL, excluding sALCL, per the WHO 2016 classification; CD30 expression <10% by local assessment; and fluorodeoxyglucose-avid disease by PET and measurable disease of at least 1.5 cm by CT, as assessed by the site radiologist. Lymphoma response and progression will be assessed by BICR using Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma and modified Lugano criteria. A CT scan will be performed at the time of suspected clinical progression. Subsequent restage assessments (CT scans only) will be performed according to the calendar, relative to the first dose of study treatment, to ensure that tumor progression is uniformly assessed between the treatment arms. Efficacy and safety endpoints will be summarized with descriptive statistics by cohort, with the CD30 negative cohort and the CD30 positive cohort. The summary of overall (CD30 negative and positive cohort combined) may be presented as appropriate. Descriptive statistics (mean, median, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum) will be used to describe continuous variables. Time-to-event endpoints, such as PFS, will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology and Kaplan-Meier plots will be presented. Medians for time-to-event analyses (eg, median PFS), will be presented and two-sided 95% confidence intervals will be calculated using the log-log transformation method. The trial will have sites open in the US and multiple countries in Europe, with enrollment planning to begin in September 2020.

Purpose To compare incidence and survival of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) subtypes among US racial/ethnic groups. Methods Patients with PTCL (age ≥ 15 years; 2000 to 2012) were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries. Race/ethnicity was categorized as non-Hispanic white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic white, or American Indian/Alaskan native. Age-standardized annual incidence rates and incidence rate ratios were estimated with 95% CIs, and case-case odds ratios were estimated by race/ethnicity using polytomous regression. Survival was estimated from SEER follow-up data with Cox regression. Results Thirteen thousand one hundred seven patients with PTCL were identified. Annual PTCL incidence was highest in blacks and lowest in Native Americans. Compared with non-Hispanic whites, blacks had a higher incidence of PTCL not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) and a lower incidence of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL); Asians/Pacific Islanders had a higher incidence of AITL, extranodal nasal-type natural killer/T-cell lymphoma and NK-cell leukemia (ENKCL), and ATLL and a lower incidence of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma; Hispanics had a higher incidence of AITL and ENKCL; and Native Americans had a lower incidence of PTCL-NOS (all P < .05). The ratio of ENKCL to PCTL-NOS among Native Americans, Asians/Pacific Islanders, and Hispanic whites was approximately three- to four-fold the same ratio among non-Hispanic whites. Survival varied significantly by race/ethnicity (P < .001), with blacks in particular experiencing shorter survival for most subtypes. Conclusion Striking variation in incidence, proportions of PTCL subtypes, and survival was observed. Aspects of these PTCL subtype patterns, such as for ENKCL and ATLL, were similar to corresponding global populations. Despite the small population size and limited number of Native American patients, PTCL subtype frequencies in this group were distinct but most similar to Hispanic whites. Survival disparities were evident, especially for blacks compared with non-Hispanic whites.

Rna Expression Profiling

Abstract Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a rare, heterogeneous type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that, in general, is associated with a poor clinical outcome. Therefore, a current major challenge is the discovery of new prognostic tools for this disease. In the present study, a cohort of 122 patients with PTCL was collected from a multicentric T-cell lymphoma consortium (TENOMIC). We analyzed the expression of 80 small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) using high-throughput quantitative PCR. We demonstrate that snoRNA expression analysis may be useful in both the diagnosis of some subtypes of PTCL and the prognostication of both PTCL-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS; n = 26) and angio-immunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL; n = 46) patients treated with chemotherapy. Like miRNAs, snoRNAs are globally down-regulated in tumor cells compared with their normal counterparts. In the present study, the snoRNA signature was robust enough to differentiate anaplastic large cell lymphoma (n = 32) from other PTCLs. For PTCL-NOS and AITL, we obtained 2 distinct prognostic signatures with a reduced set of 3 genes. Of particular interest was the prognostic value of HBII-239 snoRNA, which was significantly over-expressed in cases of AITL and PTCL-NOS that had favorable outcomes. Our results suggest that snoRNA expression profiles may have a diagnostic and prognostic significance for PTCL, offering new tools for patient care and follow-up.
