Chimeric antigen receptor T cells against the IGHV4-34 B cell receptor specifically eliminate neoplastic and autoimmune B cells. (PubMed, Sci Transl Med)
In addition, we showed that CART4-34 could target human IGHV4-34+ SLE B cells and deplete IGHV4-34+ autoantibodies ex vivo, without targeting healthy B cells or affecting total IgG titers. In conclusion, we developed a CAR T cell product that specifically targets pathogenic B cells in lymphoid malignancies and SLE, offering potential for precision cell therapy for these indications.

Have Fixed-Duration (FD) Regimens Delivered on Their Promise in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and What Is the Future of FD Regimens? A Narrative Review. (PubMed, Adv Ther)
Successful fixed-duration regimens in CLL should achieve deep remission (i.e., undetectable minimal residual disease), sustain long-term progression-free survival, decrease the burden of treatment-related adverse events, and allow for re-treatment with minimal risk of drug resistance. Although fixed-duration treatment represents a positive step forward for most patients with CLL/SLL, the currently approved regimens often fall short in patients at high risk of progression. Continued research and development of next-generation drugs is essential to enhance efficacy and safety, ultimately improving outcomes in all patients with CLL/SLL.

Primary Cutaneous Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma With TFH Phenotype With Divergent Clonal B- and Plasma-Cell Populations and DNMT3A Mutation. (PubMed, J Cutan Pathol)
This case represents a rare pcTFH-PTCL with a persistent T-cell clone coexisting with divergent clonal B- and plasma cell populations. The findings emphasize the role of TFH-derived neoplasms in fostering B-cell expansions and highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic complexity posed by dual-lineage clonality in cutaneous lymphomas.

Prognostic and predictive impact of NOTCH1 mutations in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a tertiary single-center experience. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The association of NOTCH1m with clinical outcomes and response to different treatment modalities, including chemoimmunotherapy (CIT), Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi), and venetoclax-based regimens, was evaluated...In conclusion, NOTCH1m are associated with adverse prognosis in CLL, primarily due to increased risk of Richter transformation. Our findings support incorporating NOTCH1 mutational analysis into routine clinical practice for improved risk stratification and treatment selection.

Optical Genome Mapping Enhances Structural Variant Detection and Refines Risk Stratification in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. (PubMed, Genes (Basel))
Combining OGM and NGS analysis refined risk stratification beyond standard FISH panels and supports more precise, individualized management strategies in CLL. Prospective studies are warranted to evaluate the clinical utility of OGM-guided genomic profiling in contemporary treatment paradigms.

Triplet regimens for frontline treatment of CLL-Great company or just a crowd? (PubMed, Hemasphere)
Standard frontline treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is with fixed-duration venetoclax-based doublets or indefinite covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKI)...We recommend considering triplets in treatment naïve CLL patients with IGHV-U, TP53 wild type, anticipated low incidence/good tolerance of Gr ≥ 3 infection (<70 years old, no major comorbidity and fully immunized) who are well informed and prioritize maximal time off therapy at the expense of increased short-term logistical complexity. Future triplet research should focus on randomized trials in specific genomic subgroups, incorporating novel agents (e.g., non-covalent BTKI, BTK degrader, and next-generation BCL2 inhibitors) and new ways of adapting treatment duration to maximize efficacy and minimize toxicity.

The singularity of IGHV4-34 links infection, autoimmunity, and B-cell tumors. (PubMed, Blood)
This offers a focused site for blockade. IGHV4-34 is a paradigm of the plasticity of B cells, of interaction with potential autoantigens, and of their subversion in tumors.

Can minimal residual disease be used to tailor therapy duration for chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients? (PubMed, Expert Rev Hematol)
Undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD) has emerged as a critical prognostic and potentially predictive biomarker in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), particularly in venetoclax-based time-limited regimens...Ongoing trials will further define the role of MRD-adapted therapy duration in first-line CLL treatment. Overall, MRD is a powerful tool to move beyond one-size-fits-all regimens and may become integral in personalizing CLL management across diverse therapeutic regimens.

Venetoclax-based therapy in high-risk patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma harboring t(11;14): a case report and review of the literature. (PubMed, J Med Case Rep)
Venetoclax combination regimen achieved excellent efficacy and safety in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma with t(11;14) in this case. The treatment of patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma with t(11;14) by venetoclax still needs to be confirmed by more clinical studies.
