Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) are of B-cell origin. In a small number of CHL cases, the tumor cells can express T-cell antigens. CD8 expression in this setting is extremely rare. We identified 5 cases of CHL with aberrant CD8 expression from our database. The patients included 3 men and 2 women with a median age of 33 years (range = 20-59 years). All the patients initially presented with lymphadenopathy and variable number of RS cells. Two cases were classified as mixed cellularity type that showed prominent vascular proliferation mimicking peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Two cases represented nodular sclerosis type. The tumor cells in all cases were positive for CD8 and negative for CD2, CD3, CD4, and CD7 and carried germline T-cell receptor genes. Molecular studies revealed T-cell receptor genes to be in germline configuration in 4 cases with available information. Given the morphologic overlap with peripheral T-cell lymphoma and the rarity of this type of CHL, identifying more cases will help our better understanding of this entity.

Richter’s syndrome is the development of high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or Hodgkin lymphoma in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). In most patients with Richter’s syndrome, the high-grade NHL is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Only a small minority of CLL/SLL patients develop T-cell malignancies. Herein, we describe a 40-year-old male patient presenting with peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) in the submandibular salivary gland, two years after the diagnosis of CLL/SLL. The PTCL-NOS consisted of small lymphocytes, which complicated diagnosis. Immunohistochemical, cytological, and molecular studies allowed the correct diagnosis of composite lymphoma (SLL/PTCL-NOS) of the submandibular salivary gland. The PTCL-NOS had a cytotoxic phenotype and aberrant expression of CD79a. There was no evidence to suggest that the PTCL-NOS of the submandibular salivary gland developed from an intimately associated submandibular lymph node or by PTCL-NOS dissemination. A review of the literature and presented case suppose that the PTCLs developed following CLL/SLL have the cytotoxic phenotype and can clinically mimic typical Richter’s syndrome.

TPS3148 Background: AFM13 is a tetravalent, bispecific (anti-CD30/anti-CD16A) recombinant antibody being developed for the treatment of CD30-positive T-cell malignancies and Hodgkin lymphoma. AFM13 selectively kills CD30-positive tumor cells by engaging and activating natural killer cells and macrophages. AFM13 was well tolerated at doses of 0.01 to 7 mg/kg and showed clinical activity in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) Hodgkin lymphoma in a Phase 1 study. In an ongoing biomarker Phase 1b/2a study in patients with R/R CD30-positive lymphomas with cutaneous involvement, 4 of 8 patients responded (at different doses) including one CR. Based on these findings, this Phase 2 study (REDIRECT) has been initiated. Methods: This is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter global study investigating the efficacy and safety of AFM13 in patients with R/R CD30-positive peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) or transformed mycosis fungoides (TMF). AFM13 is administered at 200 mg weekly via an intravenous infusion until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, investigator discretion or withdrawal of consent. Cohorts A and B include PTCL patients with ≥10%, and ≥1% to <10% CD30 expression by IHC, respectively. Cohort C includes patients with TMF who express ≥1% CD30. Eligible PTCL patients must have received at least 1 prior line of systemic therapy and, if diagnosed with systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma, must have failed or be intolerant to brentuximab vedotin. Eligible patients with TMF must have received at least 1 prior line of systemic therapy and have exhausted systemic therapies with regular approval for their disease. This global trial started enrollment in Oct 2019. The primary endpoint is objective response rate as confirmed by an Independent Review Committee for all cohorts. The study will also assess investigator-measured efficacy parameters, safety, PK, immunogenicity and QOL. Disease assessment will be done at screening and every 8 weeks for the first 3 assessments, then every 12 weeks thereafter, regardless of any treatment/cycle delays that may occur.
