    Abstract BH3-mimetics are a novel drug class of small molecule inhibitors of BCL2 family proteins which restore apoptosis in malignant cells. The only currently approved BH3-mimetic, the selective BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax, is highly efficacious in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and has rapidly advanced to an approved standard of care in frontline and relapsed disease in combination with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. In this context, tumour lysis syndrome and myelosuppression are the most commonly encountered toxicities and are readily manageable with established protocols. Venetoclax is active in other lymphoid malignancies including several B cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, acute lymphoblastic leukemia and multiple myeloma, with the highest intrinsic sensitivity observed in mantle cell lymphoma and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. Venetoclax combination with standard regimens in follicular lymphoma, multiple myeloma and aggressive B cell neoplasms has shown some promise, but further studies are required to optimize dose and scheduling to mitigate increased myelosuppression and infection risk, and to find validated biomarkers of venetoclax sensitivity. Future research will focus on overcoming venetoclax resistance, targeting other BCL2 family members and the rational design of synergistic combinations.

    Abstract Venetoclax-based regimens have expanded the therapeutic options for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), frequently achieving remissions with undetectable measurable residual disease and facilitating time-limited treatment without chemotherapy. Although response rates are high and durable disease control is common, longer-term follow-up of patients with relapsed and refractory disease, especially in the presence of TP53 aberrations, demonstrates frequent disease resistance and progression. Although the understanding of venetoclax resistance remains incomplete, progressive disease is typified by oligoclonal leukemic populations with distinct resistance mechanisms, including BCL2 mutations, upregulation of alternative BCL2 family proteins, and genomic instability. Although most commonly observed in heavily pretreated patients with disease refractory to fludarabine and harboring complex karyotype, Richter transformation presents a distinct and challenging manifestation of venetoclax resistance. For patients with progressive CLL after venetoclax, treatment options include B-cell receptor pathway inhibitors, allogeneic stem cell transplantation, chimeric antigen receptor T cells, and venetoclax retreatment for those with disease relapsing after time-limited therapy. However, data to inform clinical decisions for these patients are limited. We review the biology of venetoclax resistance and outline an approach to the common clinical scenarios encountered after venetoclax-based therapy that will increasingly confront practicing clinicians.

    Abstract Targeted agents have significantly improved outcomes for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, particularly high-risk subgroups for whom chemoimmunotherapy previously offered limited efficacy. Two classes of agent in particular, the Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g., ibrutinib) and the B-cell lymphoma 2 inhibitor, venetoclax, induce high response rates and durable remissions in the relapsed/refractory and frontline settings. However, maturing clinical data have revealed promises and pitfalls for both agents. These drugs induce remissions and disease control in the majority of patients, often in situations where modest efficacy would be expected with traditional chemoimmunotherapy approaches. Unfortunately, in the relapsed and refractory setting, both agents appear to be associated with an inevitable risk of disease relapse and progression. Emerging patterns of resistance are being described for both agents but a common theme appears to be multiple sub-clonal drivers of disease progression. Understanding these mechanisms and developing effective and safe methods to circumvent the emergence of resistance will determine the longer-term utility of these agents to improve patients' quality and length of life. Rational drug combinations, optimised scheduling and sequencing of therapy will likely hold the key to achieving these important goals.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate existing evidence from published systematic reviews for the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions in patients with lymphoma.
    Data sources: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using medical/health science databases up to 1 October 2020. Bibliographies of pertinent articles, journals and grey literature were searched.
    Data extraction and synthesis: Two reviewers independently selected and reviewed potential reviews for methodological quality and graded the quality of evidence for outcomes using validated tools. Any discrepancies were resolved by final group consensus.
    Results: Twelve systematic reviews (n = 101 studies, 87,132 patients with lymphoma) evaluated 3 broad categories of rehabilitation interventions (physical modalities, nutrition and complementary medicine). Most reviews were of moderate-to-low methodological quality. The findings suggest: moderate-quality evidence for exercise programmes for improved fatigue and sleep disturbance; low-quality evidence for exercise therapy alone and qigong/tai chi for improved symptoms and overall quality of life, and an inverse association between sunlight/ultraviolet radiation exposure and incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; and very low-quality evidence for beneficial effects of yoga for sleep disturbances. Association between physical activity and lymphoma risk is indistinct.
    Conclusion: Despite a range of rehabilitation modalities used for patients with lymphoma, high-quality evidence for many is sparse. Beneficial effects of exercise programmes were noted for fatigue, psychological symptoms and quality of life. More research with robust study design is required to determine the effective rehabilitation approaches.

    Abstract Mantle cell lymphoma is an uncommon subtype of lymphoma characterised by clinical and biological heterogeneity. Although most patients with mantle cell lymphoma have durable responses after chemoimmunotherapy, there is a need to prospectively identify high-risk subsets of patients for whom disease control with standard chemotherapy will be short lived. Among the available prognostic factors, TP53 mutations are uniquely informative owing to their strong association with early disease progression and death among patients receiving conventional chemoimmunotherapy, with the highest negative prognostic value compared with other established risk indicators, including the mantle cell lymphoma international prognostic index, histological features, elevated Ki-67, and other genetic lesions. The poor outcomes for patients with TP53-mutated mantle cell lymphoma receiving chemoimmunotherapy and second-line Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors represent an urgent need for alternative approaches. In this Review, we synthesise the available data to inform the management of this high-risk subset of patients and present a treatment strategy prioritising clinical trials and early use of cellular therapies.

    Abstract The covalent Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) are highly effective for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The dominant resistance mechanism observed with the BTKi ibrutinib is the development of BTK Cys481 codon mutations. Whether a similar resistance mutation profile exists for the newer-generation, more selective BTKi zanubrutinib is unknown. In samples referred for diagnostic next-generation sequencing in patients with progressive CLL, we observed an enrichment in the kinase-dead BTK Leu528Trp mutation in patients treated with zanubrutinib compared with ibrutinib (54%; 7 of 13 vs 4%; 1 of 24, P = .001). We describe 2 patients with BTK Leu528Trp mutations who showed clinical cross-resistance and progressive enrichment of the BTK Leu528Trp mutation over time when treated with the noncovalent BTKi pirtobrutinib. Both patients subsequently responded to venetoclax-based treatment. In summary, we have identified an enrichment of the BTK Leu528Trp mutation arising in patients treated with zanubrutinib that may impart cross-resistance to the noncovalent inhibitor pirtobrutinib and therefore may have implications for sequencing of these treatments in CLL.
