CART-30

AITL with HRS-like cells is prone to misdiagnosis as CHL due to overlapping morphological and immunophenotypic features. Integration of EBER, TCR/IG clonality assessment, and molecular profiling, particularly the identification of TET2 and RHOA mutations is essential for accurate classification. Recognizing this entity is critical for avoiding diagnostic pitfalls and guiding appropriate therapeutic strategies.

In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of a triplet regimen consisting of the histone deacetylase inhibitor chidamide, decitabine and anti-PD-1 camrelizumab (CDP) in 52 patients with relapsed/refractory cHL who had previously received DP therapy (NCT04233294)...The classical CD30+ HRS-like cells interacted with the abundant immunosuppressive IL21+CD4+ T helper cells, forming a positive feedback loop that supported their survival...CDP treatment promoted the activation of diverse tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells and suppressed the proliferation of IL21+CD4+ T cells by inhibiting STAT1/3 signaling, thereby alleviating their immunosuppressive effects. These findings provide insights into the cHL microenvironment that contributes to anti-PD-1 resistance and highlight the therapeutic effectiveness of dual epi-immunotherapy in overcoming immunotherapy resistance.

For programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), CD8 (cytotoxic T-cell marker), CD68 (macrophage pan-marker), CD64 (FcγRΙ), and CD30, mIHC samples were stained using Opal 7-Color IHC kit. Conclusions : Tislelizumab demonstrated a high CR rate regardless of the FcγRΙ expressing macrophage abundance in the cHL tumor microenvironment, which may be a functional consequence of its engineered Fc region and may differentiate its MOA from the MOAs of other anti-PD-1 agents. CD8+ T-cell abundance and tumor inflammatory gene signatures in the microenvironment may be associated with higher CR rate for cHL patients treated with tislelizumab.
