Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for NK/T-cell lymphoma: an international collaborative analysis
This retrospective analysis examined the role of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with relapsed/refractory natural killer/T-cell lymphomas (NKTCL). The study included 135 patients who underwent allo-HSCT between 2010 and 2020. The three-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 48.6% and 55.6%, respectively. Shorter time interval between diagnosis and allo-HSCT and transplantation not in complete or partial response were associated with reduced PFS. Pre-transplant treatment with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors did not affect graft-versus-host disease or survival.

CHOEP plus lenalidomide as initial therapy for patients with stage II–IV peripheral T-cell lymphoma
In this phase II study, a novel induction strategy for nodal-based peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) was evaluated using lenalidomide in combination with CHOEP chemotherapy. Patients received standard doses of CHOEP along with 10 mg of lenalidomide on days 1–10 of a 21-day cycle for six cycles. Among 39 evaluated patients, the objective response rate after six cycles was 69%, with complete response in 49% and partial response in 21%. However, hematologic toxicity, including febrile neutropenia, was a significant issue, leading to treatment discontinuation in some cases. Despite these challenges, the estimated 2-year progression-free and overall survival rates were 55% and 78%, respectively.
