Contemporary lymphoma radiation target volumes that rely on post-systemic therapy imaging do not have standardised nomenclature. A forum of radiation oncology lymphoma leaders from the National Clinical Trials Network groups (NRG Oncology, Children's Oncology Group, SWOG Cancer Research Network, Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-American College of Radiology Imaging Network Cancer Research Group, and the Canadian Cancer Trials Group) was convened and established standardised nomenclature for these volumes in the autumn of 2024. Involved-site radiotherapy includes the full cranial-caudal extent of prechemotherapy disease and takes into account axial anatomical changes only. Residual site radiotherapy targets only the postchemotherapy CT-anatomical mass. PET-directed radiotherapy exclusively targets PET-positive disease and includes three types: PET-directed involved site radiotherapy using the superior-inferior aspect of prechemotherapy involved disease sites that remain PET-avid on post-treatment imaging; PET-directed residual site radiotherapy using only the postchemotherapy CT-anatomical residual mass that contains the PET-avid lesion on post-treatment imaging, without excluding sites that had complete metabolic response; and PET-directed residual PET radiotherapy using only the PET-avid focus, irrespective of the corresponding adjacent non-PET-avid CT-anatomical disease surrounding it.
依靠系统治疗后成像的当代淋巴瘤放射靶区没有标准化术语。由国家临床试验网络组(NRG 肿瘤学组、儿童肿瘤学组、SWOG 癌症研究网络、肿瘤学临床试验联盟、东部合作肿瘤学组-美国放射学院成像网络癌症研究组和加拿大癌症试验组)的放射肿瘤学淋巴瘤领导者组成的论坛于 2024 年秋季召开,并为这些体积建立了标准化术语。累及部位放疗包括化疗前疾病的整个头颅-尾椎范围,仅考虑轴向解剖学变化。残留部位放疗只针对化疗后的 CT 解剖肿块。PET 导向放疗只针对 PET 阳性的疾病,包括三种类型:PET 引导的受累部位放疗使用化疗前受累疾病部位的上-下侧,且在治疗后的成像中仍为 PET 像阳性;PET 引导的残留部位放疗仅使用化疗后的 CT 解剖学残留肿块,且在治疗后的成像中包含 PET 像阳性病变,但不排除完全代谢反应的部位;PET 引导的残留 PET 放疗仅使用 PET 像阳性病灶,而不考虑其周围相应的相邻非 PET 像阳性 CT 解剖学疾病。

<p><strong>Background: </strong>CD30 expression is universal in anaplastic large-cell lymphoma and is expressed in some other peripheral T-cell lymphoma subtypes. Incorporation of brentuximab vedotin into initial therapy for people with CD30-positive peripheral T-cell lymphomas prolonged progression-free survival, but there is room for improvement, especially for people with non-anaplastic large-cell lymphoma subtypes.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We conducted a multicentre, international, single-arm, phase 2 trial to evaluate the safety and activity of CHEP-BV (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, prednisone, brentuximab vedotin, and etoposide) followed by brentuximab vedotin consolidation in patients with CD30-expressing peripheral T-cell lymphomas across five academic centres in the USA and Canada. Adults aged 18 years or older with newly diagnosed, untreated CD30-positive peripheral T-cell lymphomas, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score of 0-2, and adequate organ function were eligible to receive six planned cycles of CHEP-BV (ie, 1·8 mg/kg brentuximab vedotin intravenously on day 1, cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m<sup>2</sup> intravenously on day 1, doxorubicin 50 mg/m<sup>2</sup> intravenously on day 1, etoposide 100 mg/m<sup>2</sup> daily intravenously on days 1-3, and prednisone 100 mg daily orally on days 1-5) with prophylactic G-CSF. Patients who responded to the treatment could receive brentuximab vedotin consolidation for up to ten additional cycles either after autologous haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) or directly after CHEP-BV. The primary endpoints were unacceptable toxicity during a 3-plus-3 safety lead-in in participants who received study treatment and completed the safety evaluation period (to confirm the recommended phase 2 dose of brentuximab vedotin in CHEP-BV) and the complete response rate after CHEP-BV induction therapy in participants who received study treatment and had response evaluation.

The trial is ongoing with the enrolment of a new cohort.</p><p><strong>Findings: </strong>54 patients were screened for eligibility and 48 were eligible for the study. The participants (18 [38%] women and 30 [63%] men; 34 [71%] White, four [8%] Black, five [10%] Asian, ten [21%] Hispanic, and 37 [77%] non-Hispanic people) were recruited and enrolled between Dec 4, 2017, and June 14, 2021, and followed up until Aug 25, 2023, when the database was locked for analysis. 48 participants were evaluable for toxicity, and 47 were evaluable for response (one participant died from COVID-19 before response assessment). During the safety lead-in, one of six participants had an unacceptable toxicity (ie, platelet count <10 000 per mm<sup>3</sup> in a participant with extensive bone marrow involvement), and the proposed phase 2 dose of 1·8 mg/kg brentuximab vedotin in CHEP-BV was confirmed.

Eligible patients were aged 18 years or older diagnosed with low-risk or intermediate-1-risk del(5q) myelodysplastic syndromes with non-transfusion-dependent anaemia (according to the IPSS), were erythropoietin-stimulating agents naive, and had an ECOG performance status of 2 or less. Patients were randomly assigned (2:1) by means of a telephone system to receive lenalidomide 5 mg daily in 28-day cycles versus placebo for 2 years. The primary endpoint was time to transfusion dependency based on blinded independent central review. Analysis were by intent-to-treat (ITT) and evaluable population.

<p><strong>Background: </strong>The preplanned interim analysis of the COMMANDS trial showed greater efficacy of luspatercept than epoetin alfa for treating anaemia in erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA)-naive patients with transfusion-dependent, lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes. In this Article, we report the results of the primary analysis of the trial.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>COMMANDS is a phase 3, open-label, randomised, controlled trial conducted at 142 sites in 26 countries. Eligible patients were those aged 18 years or older, with myelodysplastic syndromes of very low risk, low risk, or intermediate risk (as defined by the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System), who were ESA-naive and transfusion dependent, and had a serum erythropoietin concentration of less than 500 U/L. Patients were stratified by baseline red blood cell transfusion burden, serum erythropoietin concentration, and ring sideroblast status, and randomly allocated (1:1) to receive luspatercept (1·0-1·75 mg/kg body weight, subcutaneously, once every 3 weeks) or epoetin alfa (450-1050 IU/kg body weight, subcutaneously, once a week; maximum total dose 80 000 IU) for at least 24 weeks. The primary endpoint was red blood cell transfusion independence lasting at least 12 weeks with a concurrent mean haemoglobin increase of at least 1·5 g/dL (weeks 1-24), evaluated in the intention-to-treat population. The safety population included all patients who received at least one dose of treatment. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03682536; active, not recruiting).</p><p><strong>Findings: </strong>Between Jan 2, 2019, and Sept 29, 2022, 363 patients were screened and randomly allocated: 182 (50%) to luspatercept and 181 (50%) to epoetin alfa. Median age was 74 years (IQR 69-80), 162 (45%) patients were female, and 201 (55%) were male. 289 (80%) were White, 44 (12%) were Asian, and two (1%) were Black or African American. 23 (6%) were Hispanic or Latino and 311 (86%) were not Hispanic or Latino. Median follow-up for the primary endpoint was 17·2 months (10·4-27·7) for the luspatercept group and 16·9 months (10·1-26·6) for the epoetin alfa group. A significantly greater proportion of patients in the luspatercept group reached the primary endpoint (110 [60%] vs 63 [35%]; common risk difference on response rate 25·4% [95% CI 15·8-35·0]; p<0·0001).

In this Article, we report the results of the primary analysis of the trial.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>COMMANDS is a phase 3, open-label, randomised, controlled trial conducted at 142 sites in 26 countries. Eligible patients were those aged 18 years or older, with myelodysplastic syndromes of very low risk, low risk, or intermediate risk (as defined by the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System), who were ESA-naive and transfusion dependent, and had a serum erythropoietin concentration of less than 500 U/L. Patients were stratified by baseline red blood cell transfusion burden, serum erythropoietin concentration, and ring sideroblast status, and randomly allocated (1:1) to receive luspatercept (1·0-1·75 mg/kg body weight, subcutaneously, once every 3 weeks) or epoetin alfa (450-1050 IU/kg body weight, subcutaneously, once a week; maximum total dose 80 000 IU) for at least 24 weeks. The primary endpoint was red blood cell transfusion independence lasting at least 12 weeks with a concurrent mean haemoglobin increase of at least 1·5 g/dL (weeks 1-24), evaluated in the intention-to-treat population. The safety population included all patients who received at least one dose of treatment. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03682536; active, not recruiting).</p><p><strong>Findings: </strong>Between Jan 2, 2019, and Sept 29, 2022, 363 patients were screened and randomly allocated: 182 (50%) to luspatercept and 181 (50%) to epoetin alfa. Median age was 74 years (IQR 69-80), 162 (45%) patients were female, and 201 (55%) were male. 289 (80%) were White, 44 (12%) were Asian, and two (1%) were Black or African American. 23 (6%) were Hispanic or Latino and 311 (86%) were not Hispanic or Latino. Median follow-up for the primary endpoint was 17·2 months (10·4-27·7) for the luspatercept group and 16·9 months (10·1-26·6) for the epoetin alfa group. A significantly greater proportion of patients in the luspatercept group reached the primary endpoint (110 [60%] vs 63 [35%]; common risk difference on response rate 25·4% [95% CI 15·8-35·0]; p<0·0001). Median follow-up for safety analyses was 21·4 months (IQR 14·2-32·4) for the luspatercept group and 20·3 months (12·7-30·9) for the epoetin alfa group.
