Programmed Cell Death-One Inhibition Therapy in Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: The majority of patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) may be cured, but for patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) cHL, the prognosis is unfavorable. Immune dysfunction is a significant contributor of relapse and a hallmark of cHL; in particular, the immune system is unable to eradicate lymphoma cells that overexpress immune checkpoint proteins. The blocking of this mechanism used by lymphoma cells to evade the immune system has resulted in clinical benefits. Use of checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) in R/R cHL is associated with high response rates and an acceptable adverse effects profile. There is growing interest in combining chemotherapy with CPIs in frontline therapy of cHL treatment to improve relapse rates without significant additive toxicity. In this review, we discuss the current evidence supporting CPI use in R/R cHL and maintenance therapy. We present emerging CPI data in frontline adult cHL and assess its role in the elderly. In addition, we discuss critical immune-related toxicities and their management, and elaborate on the challenges of monitoring response and minimal residual disease as tools for maximizing efficacy by limiting toxicity.

CAR-T Cell Therapy for Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Project description:Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is a malignancy characterized by the presence of Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells within a complex tumor microenvironment (TME). Despite advances in conventional therapies, a subset of cHL patients experience relapse or refractory disease, necessitating the exploration of novel treatment strategies. Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T cell) therapy has emerged as a promising approach for the management of cHL, harnessing the power of genetically modified T cells to recognize and eliminate tumor cells. In this article, we provide an overview of the pathogenesis of cHL, highlighting the key molecular and cellular mechanisms involved. Additionally, we discuss the rationale for the development of CAR-T cell therapy in cHL, focusing on the identification of suitable targets on HRS cells (such as CD30, CD123, LMP1, and LMP2A), clonotypic lymphoma initiating B cells (CD19, CD20), and cells within the TME (CD123, CD19, CD20) for CAR-T cell design. Furthermore, we explore various strategies employed to enhance the efficacy and safety of CAR-T cell therapies in the treatment of cHL. Finally, we present an overview of the results obtained from clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of CAR-T cell therapies in cHL, highlighting their potential as a promising therapeutic option. Collectively, this article provides a comprehensive review of the current understanding of cHL pathogenesis and the rationale for CAR-T cell therapy development, offering insights into the future directions of this rapidly evolving field.

Programmed Death-1 Blockade With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma After Brentuximab Vedotin Failure.

Project description:Purpose Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) frequently exhibits genetic alterations leading to overexpression of the programmed death-1 (PD-1) ligands, suggesting a possible vulnerability to PD-1 blockade. The phase Ib study KEYNOTE-013 (NCT01953692) tested the safety and efficacy of the anti-PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab in patients with hematologic malignancies. Based on its genetics, HL was included as an independent cohort. Methods We enrolled patients with relapsed or refractory HL whose disease progressed on or after treatment with brentuximab vedotin. Patients received pembrolizumab, 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks, until disease progression occurred. Response to treatment was assessed at week 12 and every 8 weeks thereafter. Principal end points were safety and complete remission (CR) rate. Results Thirty-one patients were enrolled; 55% had more than four lines of prior therapy, and 71% had relapsed after autologous stem cell transplantation. Five patients (16%) experienced grade 3 drug-related adverse events (AEs); there were no grade 4 AEs or deaths related to treatment. The CR rate was 16% (90% CI, 7% to 31%). In addition, 48% of patients achieved a partial remission, for an overall response rate of 65% (90% CI, 48% to 79%). Most of the responses (70%) lasted longer than 24 weeks (range, 0.14+ to 74+ weeks), with a median follow-up of 17 months. The progression-free survival rate was 69% at 24 weeks and 46% at 52 weeks. Biomarker analyses demonstrated a high prevalence of PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression, treatment-induced expansion of T cells and natural killer cells, and activation of interferon-γ, T-cell receptor, and expanded immune-related signaling pathways. Conclusions Pembrolizumab was associated with a favorable safety profile. Pembrolizumab treatment induced favorable responses in a heavily pretreated patient cohort, justifying further studies.

Targeting the programmed cell death 1 pathway in Hodgkin lymphoma: the place of nivolumab.

Project description:Nivolumab is a humanized immunoglobulin gamma-4 kappa anti-programmed cell death 1 monoclonal antibody that is currently approved in the treatment of several solid tumors and recently gained accelerated approval in classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) that has relapsed or progressed following autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation and post-transplantation brentuximab vedotin. The purpose of this article is to review the immunophysiologic basis, clinical efficacy, and toxicity of nivolumab in the treatment of cHL. In addition, we will review ongoing clinical trials and potential future directions of checkpoint inhibition in the treatment of cHL.

MicroRNA signature in classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

Project description:Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is one of the most prevalent lymphomas with a unique cell composition compared to other lymphoma entities. Rare, malignant Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells embedded with an extensive but ineffective immune infiltration were previously characterized by a large number of genetic and epigenetic alterations. Recently, microRNA profiling studies highlighted the importance of small non-coding RNA in cHL. This review summarizes available literature data and provides a detailed comparison of four studies where cHL cell lines and microdissected HRS cells were used. Several microRNAs were found to be consistently up- (let-7-f, mir-9, mir-21, mir-23a, mir-27a, mir-155, and mir-196a) or downregulated (mir-138 and mir-150) in cHL. These deregulated microRNAs are involved in the processes crucial for cHL pathogenesis, such as impaired B cell development (mir-9, mir-150, and mir-155), NFκB hyperactivation (mir-155 and mir-196a), and immune evasion (mir-138). Therefore, the deregulation of microRNA expression can be considered a complementary mechanism to genetic alterations promoting lymphomagenesis. Moreover, the expression of let-7f, mir-9 and mir-27a is specific for cHL and can serve as a biomarker to distinguish this lymphoma from other B cell lymphomas. However, additional in-depth and high throughput analysis of microRNA expression in HRS cells is necessary to decipher the complete picture of microRNA in cHL.

Immune Checkpoint Inhibition in Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma: From Early Achievements towards New Perspectives.

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) became one of the major breakthroughs in cancer treatment over the past decade and entered into therapy within standard oncohematology practice. ICI has demonstrated impressive response rates as salvage therapy in relapsed/refractory (R/R) classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and is now being tested as an adjunction to chemotherapy in the frontline settings. CHL exquisite sensitivity to PD-1/PD-L1 axis inhibition relies on a particular biological background. By contrast, non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) have demonstrated heterogeneous response rates using ICI. These observations highlight discrepancies between various types of lymphomas in terms of genetic alterations, immune microenvironment interactions, and disease phenotype. This review aims to focus on cHL immune escape mechanisms, focusing on cHL biological sensitivity to PD-1 blockade. We will summarize the available data issued from clinical trials on ICI in cHL and its safety profile. Going beyond the current use of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) targeting immune checkpoints in clinical practice, we will offer an overview of new combinatory therapeutic perspectives where cHL immunotherapy may be considered.

Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II and Programmed Death Ligand 1 Expression Predict Outcome After Programmed Death 1 Blockade in Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Project description:Purpose Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells evade antitumor immunity by multiple means, including gains of 9p24.1/ CD274(PD-L1)/ PDCD1LG2(PD-L2) and perturbed antigen presentation. Programmed death 1 (PD-1) receptor blockade is active in classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) despite reported deficiencies of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I expression on HRS cells. Herein, we assess bases of sensitivity to PD-1 blockade in patients with relapsed/refractory cHL who were treated with nivolumab (anti-PD-1) in the CheckMate 205 trial. Methods HRS cells from archival tumor biopsies were evaluated for 9p24.1 alterations by fluorescence in situ hybridization and for expression of PD ligand 1 (PD-L1) and the antigen presentation pathway components-?2-microglobulin, MHC class I, and MHC class II-by immunohistochemistry. These parameters were correlated with clinical responses and progression-free survival (PFS) after PD-1 blockade. Results Patients with higher-level 9p24.1 copy gain and increased PD-L1 expression on HRS cells had superior PFS. HRS cell expression of ?2-microglobulin/MHC class I was not predictive for complete remission or PFS after nivolumab therapy. In contrast, HRS cell expression of MHC class II was predictive for complete remission. In patients with a > 12-month interval between myeloablative autologous stem-cell transplantation and nivolumab therapy, HRS cell expression of MHC class II was associated with prolonged PFS. Conclusion Genetically driven PD-L1 expression and MHC class II positivity on HRS cells are potential predictors of favorable outcome after PD-1 blockade. In cHL, clinical responses to nivolumab were not dependent on HRS cell expression of MHC class I.

Programmed death ligand-1/programmed death-1 inhibition therapy and programmed death ligand-1 expression in urothelial bladder carcinoma.

Project description:After two decades of unchanged paradigms, the treatment strategies for advanced urothelial bladder cancer have been revolutionized by emerging programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1)/programmed death-1 (PD1) inhibition therapy. Increased evidence is demonstrating the efficacy of PD-L1/PD1 inhibition therapy in both second-line and first-line settings. However, the percentage of patients who benefit from anti-PD-L1/anti-PD1 therapy is still low. Many questions have been raised in the development of biomarker-driven approaches for disease classification and patient selection. In this perspective, we discuss PD-L1/PD1 expression in urothelial bladder carcinoma, review approved anti-PD-L1/anti-PD1 agents for bladder cancer treatment and current ongoing studies investigating combination treatment strategies, and explore PD-L1 expression status for the evaluation of bladder cancer immunotherapy.

Dual PI3K/ERK inhibition induces necroptotic cell death of Hodgkin Lymphoma cells through IER3 downregulation.

Project description:PI3K/AKT and RAF/MEK/ERK pathways are constitutively activated in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients, thus representing attractive therapeutic targets. Here we report that the PI3K/ERK dual inhibitor AEZS-136 induced significant cell proliferation inhibition in L-540, SUP-HD1, KM-H2 and L-428 HL cell lines, but a significant increase in necroptotic cell death was observed only in two out of four cell lines (L-540 and SUP-HD1). In these cells, AEZS-136-induced necroptosis was associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. JNK was activated by AEZS-136, and AEZS-136-induced necroptosis was blocked by the necroptosis inhibitor necrostatin-1 or the JNK inhibitor SP600125, suggesting that JNK activation is required to trigger necroptosis following dual PI3K/ERK inhibition. Gene expression analysis indicated that the effects of AEZS-136 were associated with the modulation of cell cycle and cell death pathways. In the cell death-resistant cell lines, AEZS-136 induced the expression of immediate early response 3 (IER3) both in vitro and in vivo. Silencing of IER3 restored sensitivity to AEZS-136-induced necroptosis. Furthermore, xenograft studies demonstrated a 70% inhibition of tumor growth and a 10-fold increase in tumor necrosis in AEZS-136-treated animals. Together, these data suggest that dual PI3K/ERK inhibition might be an effective approach for improving therapeutic outcomes in HL.

Resources-Stratified Guidelines for Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Project description:Hodgkin lymphoma is a haematological malignancy predominantly affecting young adults. Hodgkin lymphoma is a highly curable disease by current treatment standards. Latest treatment guidelines for Hodgkin lymphoma however imply access to diagnostic and treatment modalities that may not be available in settings with restricted healthcare resources. Considerable discrepancies in Hodgkin lymphoma patient survival exist, with poorer outcomes reported in resources-constrained settings. Resources-stratified guidelines for diagnosis, staging and treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma were derived in an effort to optimize patient outcome provided a given setting of available resources. These guidelines were derived based on the framework of the Breast Health Global Initiative stratifying resource levels in basic, core, advanced and maximal categories.

Checkpoint CD47 expression in classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

Project description:The glycoprotein CD47 regulates antiphagocytic activity via signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPa). This study investigated CD47 expression on Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells in the classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) tumour microenvironment and its correlation with prognosis, programmed-death (PD) immune markers, and SIRPa+ leukocytes. We conducted immunohistochemistry with CD47 and SIRPa antibodies on diagnostic biopsies (tissue microarrays) from cHL patients from two cohorts (n = 178). In cohort I (n = 136) patients with high expression of CD47 on HRS cells (n = 48) had a significantly inferior event-free survival [hazard ratio (HR) = 5.57; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.78-11.20; p < 0.001] and overall survival (OS) (HR = 8.54; 95% CI, 3.19-22.90; p < 0.001) compared with patients with low expression (n = 88). The survival results remained statistically significant in multivariable Cox regression adjusted for known prognostic factors. In cohort II (n = 42) high HRS cell CD47 expression also carried shorter event-free survival (EFS) (HR = 5.96; 95% CI, 1.20-29.59; p = 0.029) and OS (HR = 5.61; 95% CI, 0.58-54.15; p = 0.136), although it did not retain statistical significance in the multivariable analysis. Further, high CD47 expression did not correlate with SIRPa+ leukocytes or PD-1, PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression. This study provides a deeper understanding of the role of CD47 in cHL during an era of emerging CD47 therapies.
