TL;DR

A multicenter, retrospective study of patients with LBCL assessed in real time with a commercially available, immunoglobulin rearrangement-targeted ctDNA-MRD assay (clonoSEQM), finding post-treatment MRD after immunochemotherapy or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy was 15% versus 85% for detectable versus undetectable MRD.

Abstract

Measurable residual disease (MRD) analysis using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a non-invasive method of response assessment in large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), but data supporting its real-world feasibility and performance are needed. We conducted a multicenter, retrospective study of patients with LBCL assessed in real time with a commercially available, immunoglobulin rearrangement-targeted ctDNA-MRD assay (clonoSEQM). Our primary objective was to assess post-treatment MRD after immunochemotherapy or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. Median time from sample collection to MRD result was 9 days. Following frontline treatment (N=102), 12-month progression-free survival (PFS) was 15% versus 85% for detectable versus undetectable MRD (HR 14.5, p.

Molecular Profiling and Disease Tracking of Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders using Cell-free DNA.

It is demonstrated that ctDNA could potentially be used for prognostication and disease monitoring in PTLD, outperforming PET/CT in 8 cases, indicating that ctDNA monitoring can complement PET/CT to guide early escalation to chemotherapy in high-risk patients, though larger cohorts are needed to validate these findings...

Sequencing BCMA-Directed Therapies in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma: A Real-World Comparison of CAR T-Cell Therapy and Bispecific Antibodies

Background: Several B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed therapy (BDT) modalities have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for relapsed-refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Ideal sequencing of these therapies remains unknown. Methods: We report one of the largest multicenter retrospective pat...

Circulating Tumor DNA and Immune Response Markers for Improved Treatment Outcome Prediction in Diffuse Large B‐Cell Lymphoma: A Scoping Review

Early identification of refractory disease remains a significant unmet clinical need in patients with diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This scoping review was conducted to assess the current knowledge on the use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), either alone or in combination with immune markers, as predictive to...

Baseline circulating and tumor γδ T cells and early circulating CD8⁺PD1⁺ expansion predict response to Atezolizumab-bevacizumab in HCC.

High baseline circulating and tumor γδ T cells and early circulating CD8⁺PD-1⁺ T Cell expansion were associated with better outcome under AtezoBev, and an early induction of T cell-associated interferon-γ signaling at 3 weeks after the first injection of AtezoBev in patients that experienced response.

Stage-resolved cytokine profiling nominates IL-17 as a prognostic node in relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma.

BACKGROUND B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) are highly heterogeneous malignancies. While immunochemotherapy and CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized the treatment of newly diagnosed (ND) and relapsed or refractory (R/R) disease, clin...

Circulating tumor DNA tumor fraction as a biomarker in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer: findings from the CAVE-2 GOIM trial

Liquid biopsy guided anti-EGFR rechallenge therapy is gaining ground as a potential option for patient with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer. However, the identification of potential biomarkers to implement patient's stratification is required. The CAVE-2 GOIM trial investigated the role of rechallenge with cetu...
