Selective Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibition is an important therapeutic approach for B-cell malignancies. Ibrutinib, a first-in-class, oral, irreversible BTK inhibitor, has a toxicity profile attributed to off-target inhibition of kinases structurally related to BTK. A highly potent and selective next-generation BTK inhibitor, zanubrutinib, was designed to address intolerance and toxicity concerns associated with ibrutinib. Zanubrutinib provides complete and sustained BTK occupancy in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and lymph nodes, with reduced toxicity compared with ibrutinib. Zanubrutinib received accelerated approval in the USA for patients with previously treated mantle cell lymphoma (2019) and relapsed/refractory (R/R) marginal zone lymphoma (2021) and was approved for Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia (WM) in 2021. Key clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of zanubrutinib include the ASPEN study in patients with WM (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03053440), the ALPINE study in patients with R/R chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03734016) and the SEQUOIA study in treatment-naïve patients with CLL/SLL with and without del(17p) mutation (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03336333). The more selective BTK binding profile, high potency, favourable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile, and minimal cardiovascular toxicity of zanubrutinib compared with ibrutinib suggest that zanubrutinib may be an important treatment option when prescribed in accordance with guidelines.

Introduction: Since the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, haematological laboratory abnormalities and thrombotic complications have been observed among infected patients. We aimed to highlight key pathophysiological mechanisms of COVID-19-associated coagulopathy and to summarize incidence rates of venous and arterial thrombotic events, comorbidities conferring risk, and current treatment guidelines including data from ongoing clinical trials. Methods: A systematic review was performed according to PRISMA recommendations of case–control studies, cohort studies, observational studies and randomized clinical trials (RCTs) published between 1 December 2019 and 30 September 2021 within PubMed and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria were English language, adult patients and at least one coagulation parameter described. Results: 2,554 records were screened, from which 59 studies were included. Abnormalities in several laboratory parameters were associated with worse clinical outcomes including elevations in prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, D-dimer, fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor antigen/activity and lupus anticoagulant antibodies. Rates of venous and arterial thromboembolism varied significantly among studies performed early in the pandemic and across different nations. Pathophysiological mechanisms included vascular endotheliopathy, increased inflammation and macrophage activation, neutrophil extracellular traps, antiphospholipid antibody production and obesity/adipose tissue signalling. Current recommendations for management of COVID coagulopathy from various societies include the use and dosing of systemic anticoagulation to prevent thrombotic sequelae in the outpatient, inpatient and critical care settings. The optimal anticoagulant dose for thromboprophylaxis in the inpatient and critical care settings is currently not well established. Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause a distinct form of coagulopathy, with thromboembolic complications leading to significant morbidity and mortality. The optimal treatment requires further refinement pending the results from key ongoing RCTs
自SARS-CoV-2大流行开始以来,在感染患者中观察到血液学实验室异常和血栓并发症。我们旨在强调covid -19相关凝血病的关键病理生理机制,并总结静脉和动脉血栓形成事件的发生率、具有风险的合并症以及目前的治疗指南,包括来自正在进行的临床试验的数据。方法:根据PRISMA的建议,对2019年12月1日至2021年9月30日在PubMed和Web of Science上发表的病例对照研究、队列研究、观察性研究和随机临床试验(rct)进行系统评价。纳入标准为英语、成年患者和至少描述一个凝血参数。结果:2554份记录被筛选,其中包括59项研究。一些实验室参数的异常与较差的临床结果相关,包括凝血酶原时间、活化的部分凝血活酶时间、d -二聚体、纤维蛋白原、血管性血友病因子抗原/活性和狼疮抗凝抗体的升高。在大流行早期和不同国家进行的研究中,静脉和动脉血栓栓塞率差异很大。病理生理机制包括血管内皮病变、炎症和巨噬细胞活化增加、中性粒细胞胞外陷阱、抗磷脂抗体产生和肥胖/脂肪组织信号传导。目前来自不同学会的关于COVID - 19凝血病管理的建议包括在门诊、住院和重症监护环境中使用和剂量全身性抗凝治疗以预防血栓后遗症。在住院和重症监护环境中预防血栓的最佳抗凝剂量目前还没有很好地确定。结论:SARS-CoV-2感染可引起不同形式的凝血功能障碍,伴有血栓栓塞并发症,导致显著的发病率和死亡率。在关键的随机对照试验结果出来之前,最佳治疗方案需要进一步完善

Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is an indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma with three subtypes: nodal, extranodal and splenic. Initial therapies can vary based on the subtype of MZL, location of disease and stage of disease. Treatment of MZL in the relapsed refractory (R/R) setting has evolved in recent years with the approvals of Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors, phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors and an immune modulatory drug, lenalidomide. Questions remain as to how best to use these agents to maximize efficacy and minimize toxicity. In this article, we focus on the management of MZL with currently available agents, particularly in the R/R setting. We also examine the therapies that may further change the treatment paradigm for MZL. Specifically, we discuss the available data for chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies and CD20–CD3 bispecific antibodies, and consider the limitations and potential benefits of these approaches.

Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is a new-generation anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) antibody–drug conjugate that has demonstrated good efficacy due to its stable linker, high drug–antibody ratio, and high bystander effect resulting from the efficient cell membrane permeability of its payload. The DESTINY-Breast01 trial showed a response rate of >60% in patients with HER2-positive advanced recurrent breast cancer who had received a median of six regimens of prior therapy. The DESTINY-Breast03 trial, which compared T-DXd with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in HER2-positive unresectable and/or metastatic breast cancer also showed very high efficacy. Although T-DXd is highly effective, it is associated with a greater incidence of interstitial pneumonia than conventional anti-HER2 agents such as T-DM1. HER2-positive breast cancer frequently develops brain metastases, the drug therapy for which has had extremely limited success. Recently, however, in a small number of trials, T-DXd has been reported to be effective against brain metastasis, by shrinking BM.

Despite our modern perioperative therapies, many patients with gastrointestinal cancer relapse after surgery. Novel strategies to identify and treat patients at high risk of relapse are needed to improve cancer outcomes. Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) is a promising, non-invasive biomarker with the potential to identify the earliest signs of cancer relapse. The presence of tumourspecific DNA in the blood in the absence of visualized tumour is suggestive of minimal residual disease and forebodes measurable relapse. Genomic sequencing techniques have advanced over the past few decades, and we have become better able to detect significantly low levels of DNA circulating in the blood from low-volume disease. Numerous studies using various technologies have established ctDNA as a powerful prognostic biomarker for relapse and survival in gastrointestinal cancers. ctDNA has the potential to risk-stratify patients in the postoperative, post-adjuvant and longitudinal settings for therapeutic escalation or de-escalation strategies. It may also capture early tumour dynamics in response to therapeutic intervention. As the multifaceted potential of ctDNA is attracting the attention of researchers, clinicians and patients, many questions remain regarding its use, interpretation and limitations. Here, we discuss the current understanding of ctDNA for minimal residual disease evaluation in gastrointestinal cancers and potential future directions.

Cervical cancer (CC) still has a high incidence despite screening programmes and access to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, with a poor prognosis in the advanced setting. Most cases of cervical carcinoma are related to HPV infection. The pathogen-induced nature of the disease, the involvement of genes regulating the immune response and the high grade of immune infiltration provide the rationale to evaluate anti-programmed death-(ligand)1 (PD-[L]1) immune checkpoint inhibitors in CC. This article reviews the promising outcomes of the KEYNOTE-826 phase III trial, which evaluates the addition of pembrolizumab to chemotherapy in patients with PD-L1-positive disease and recurrent, persistent or metastatic cancer of the cervix, leading to an improvement of progression-free survival and overall survival. We also aim to address some outstanding questions and discuss the next steps in immunotherapy for CC.

Multiple myeloma (MM) remains largely an incurable disease with only a small percentage of patients achieving long-term remission. Here, we highlight some of the major studies on MM presented at the American Society of Hematology meeting in December 2021. Early results of the first ever population-based screening studies for precursor states of MM, iStopMM and PROMISE, were reported. These studies will inform on the risks and benefits of screening in MM and could lead to a paradigm shift towards screening and early therapy. In newly diagnosed MM, there were promising data on quadruple therapy with addition of a monoclonal antibody against the CD38 antigen to the existing backbone of lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone. T-cell–directed therapy including bispecific antibody and chimeric antigen receptor therapy demonstrated high clinical response, especially in triple-class refractory myeloma. We acknowledge that this review focuses on some exciting studies in both precursor and active MM and is not comprehensive by any means.

The treatment of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer has rapidly changed over the last decade. Currently, standard of care (SOC) options for first-line treatment are androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in combination with either docetaxel chemotherapy or an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor such as abiraterone, enzalutamide or apalutamide. Recent results from both the PEACE-1 and ARASENS trials show an overall survival and progression-free survival benefit from the addition of an androgen-receptor pathway inhibitor for patients in whom the SOC option of ADT plus docetaxel has been chosen in de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, with a more pronounced benefit in those with high-volume metastatic disease. However, many clinicians now preferentially use ADT plus an androgen-receptor pathway inhibitor as SOC first-line treatment, and no prospective trial has addressed whether there is a benefit from the addition of docetaxel to this version of SOC combination therapy. The benefit of triplet combination therapy in those with recurrent or low-volume metastatic disease is less clear and longer follow-up is required before conclusions can be drawn about these patient groups.

However, many clinicians now preferentially use ADT plus an androgen-receptor pathway inhibitor as SOC first-line treatment, and no prospective trial has addressed whether there is a benefit from the addition of docetaxel to this version of SOC combination therapy. The benefit of triplet combination therapy in those with recurrent or low-volume metastatic disease is less clear and longer follow-up is required before conclusions can be drawn about these patient groups.","PeriodicalId":249239,"journal":{"name":"Oncology & Haematology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134051253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
