HTLV-1 ATLL - Overall Survival
``` WEEKS!!!! Hella aggro Acute Subtype - 19 weeks Lymphomatous Subtype - 37 weeks Chronic Subtype - 89 weeks Smoldering Subtype - Not reached ```
41
Managing PTCL-NOS Algorithm
``` Confirm hematopathology (Check for CD30, HTLV-1) Clinical Trial OR Etoposide-containing Combination Chemo If complete remission, autologous stem cell transplant ``` ``` If partial remission, relapse or worse: Vorinostat Romidepsin belinostat Pralatrexate Berntuximab Clinical Trial ```
42
HDAC Inhibitors approved for T-Cell Lymphoma
Vorinostat Romidepsin Belinostat
43
HDAC Inhibitor - Mechanism of action
``` Inhibiting the de-acetylation of histones Enforces the acetylation of histones Leads to open chromatin Transcriptional activation of tumor suppressors: p53 HSP90 NFkB STAT3 ```
44
Pralatrexate
Novel anti-folate drug Significant improvements in overall survival Marked activity in relapsed T-Cell Lymphoma Overall response rate 29%

46
CD30
Member of the TNFR superfamily | Found at variable levels on the surface of different B-Cell and T-Cell lymphomas
47
Brentuximab Vedotin - Mechanism of action
Antibody-Drug Conjugant (ADC) Ab to CD30 bound to Monomethyl Auristatin E (MMAE) a potent antimicrotubule agent Binds to CD30 Drug gets endocytosed Protease-cleavable linker releases MMAE into lysosome MMAE disrupts microtubule network
48
Brentuximab Vedotin - Side effect
Neuropathy
49
Brentuximab Vedotin in Relapsed/Refractory Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma - Response
Nearly everyone responded | 97% patients achieved tumor reduction

65
Hodgkin's Lymphoma - Pre-Treatment & Considerations
First evaluate cardiac & pulmonary function: ECHO PFTs with DLCO of cycles given depends partly on stage and partly on IPS. Anywhere from 2 - 6 cycles Treatment is highly emetogenic, so prescribe anti-emetics Not all patients lose their hair
66
Hodgkin's Lymphoma - Role of Radiation
Early-Stage Involved field XRT can be used to decrease ABVD cycles to 2 - 4 Bulky Disease (mediastinal mass > 10cm or > 1/3 of chest width XRT can be used as a consolidation Improved rate of survival ``` Risk Late toxicities: Secondary malignancies (breast cancer) Pulmonary fibrosis Early CAD ```
67
Hodgkin's Lymphoma - PET- after 2 cycles
Will likely do very well. This trumps IPS score.
68
Hodgkin's Lymphoma - PET+ after 2 cucles
Will likely relapse
69
Hodgkin's Lymphoma - Plan at relapse
Salvage Chemotherapy Leads to responses in 60 - 90% ``` Treatment regimens: ICE DHAP ESHAP Gemcitabine-based ```
