    Abstract Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are at high risk of developing severe COVID-19. The present study was undertaken to elucidate COVID-19 related morbidity and mortality in CLL patients treated with venetoclax. We present a single-center study of 108 patients with small lymphocytic lymphoma or CLL treated with venetoclax. Primary outcome was 30-day COVID-19 mortality. Secondary outcomes included COVID-19 severity and hospitalization rate. Forty-eight (44%) patients had PCR-verified SARS-COV-2 between March 2020 and January 2023. Thirty-six patients (75%) presented with asymptomatic/mild COVID-19 and 12 (25%) with severe/critical disease. The hospitalization rate was 46% with a 30-day mortality rate of only 4% and severe comorbidities as the primary cause of death. COVID-19 severity and mortality were similar before and during the Omicron era. High CIRS-scores (P < 0.02) and thrombocytopenia (P < 0.01) were more frequent in patients with severe/critical disease. In real-world data, most venetoclax treated patients presented with mild COVID-19. Hospitalization and mortality rates were low compared to data of general CLL populations. Our data indicate that venetoclax was a safe treatment option for CLL patients during the pandemic.

    Title translation Treatment of the elderly patient with haematological cancer.
    Abstract During the last two decades, novel targeted therapies, in particular, »small molecules« for oral administration and monoclonal antibodies, have revolutionized the treatment and prognosis of haematological cancers. Generally, these treatments are well tolerated and therefore suitable for elderly patients. This review presents a short update on the current standard-of-care treatment of elderly patients with haematological cancer.

    Abstract Currently, the International Prognostic Index (IPI) is the most used and reported model for prognostication in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). IPI-like variations have been proposed, but only a few have been validated in different populations (e.g., revised IPI (R-IPI), National Comprehensive Cancer Network IPI (NCCN-IPI)). We aimed to validate and compare different IPI-like variations to identify the model with the highest predictive accuracy for survival in newly diagnosed DLBCL patients. We included 5126 DLBCL patients treated with immunochemotherapy with available data required by 13 different prognostic models. All models could predict survival, but NCCN-IPI consistently provided high levels of accuracy. Moreover, we found similar 5-year overall survivals in the high-risk group (33.4%) compared to the original validation study of NCCN-IPI. Additionally, only one model incorporating albumin performed similarly well but did not outperform NCCN-IPI regarding discrimination (c-index 0.693). Poor fit, discrimination, and calibration were observed in models with only three risk groups and without age as a risk factor. In this extensive retrospective registry-based study comparing 13 prognostic models, we suggest that NCCN-IPI should be reported as the reference model along with IPI in newly diagnosed DLBCL patients until more accurate validated prognostic models for DLBCL become available.

    Abstract Background: With improved survival in patients with lymphoma, long-term toxicity and quality of life (QoL), including sexual health, have become increasingly important.
    Aim: We aimed to (1) determine the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in adult male lymphoma survivors; (2) determine whether testosterone deficiency, comorbidities, or lifestyle factors were associated; and (3) evaluate their impact on QoL.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study including 172 male survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma or diffuse large B cell lymphoma diagnosed in adulthood between 2008 and 2018 was performed. Patients were in complete metabolic remission after first-line treatment and remained in remission at follow-up (3-13 years after diagnosis). Participants completed 3 questionnaires measuring sexual health and general QoL. Serum concentrations of total testosterone were measured and thorough medical history and sociodemographic factors were obtained. The Danish SEXUS Project, European Male Ageing Study, and European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Reference Manual were used as reference values of the general population.
    Outcomes: Patient reported outcome measures including the 5-item International Index of Erectile Function, EORTC C30, and EORTC 22-item Sexual Health Questionnaire.
    Results: ED was reported by 55.2%, which was higher than in an age-matched Danish population cohort (17.5%). Erectile function score (5-item International Index of Erectile Function) was negatively associated with comorbidity, body mass index, smoking, and age and positively with the number of children conceived before treatment and serum concentration of total testosterone. Overt testosterone deficiency in combination with ED was detected in 10 (5.7%) of 176 survivors, including excluded survivors in hormonal treatment, which is higher than for the general population (0.1%-3.2% for men <70 years of age). Mean EORTC C30 global health score for survivors with ED was lower (67.7) than for survivors without ED (80.1) but was comparable to the general population (71.2). Furthermore, a positive association was seen between sexual function and both sexual and general QoL.
    Clinical implications: Sexual health is important for QoL and related to comorbidities. The focus on improving QoL requires that both sexual health and comorbidities are addressed in the follow-up of lymphoma patients.
    Strengths and limitations: Despite the relatively high number of included survivors, the cross-sectional design of this study warrants longitudinal studies to clarify the specific underlying causes of sexual dysfunction.
    Conclusion: ED was highly prevalent and associated with comorbidity in lymphoma survivors, and more focus on sexual health and treatment related comorbidity is needed to improve sexual and general QoL.

    Abstract For chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), targeted drugs have become the standard of care, in particular for second-line treatment. In this study, overall survival (OS), treatment-free survival (TFS) and adverse events (AE) were registered retrospectively in a Danish population-based cohort upon second-line treatment for CLL. Data were collected from medical records and the Danish National CLL register. For 286 patients receiving second-line treatment, three-year TFS was higher upon targeted treatment (ibrutinib/venetoclax/idelalisib) [63%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 50%-76%] compared with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab or bendamustine and rituximab (FCR/BR) (37%, CI: 26%-48%) and chlorambucil+/-CD20-antibody (CD20Clb/Clb) (22%, CI: 10%-33%). Upon targeted treatment, three-year OS estimates were higher for targeted treatment (79%, CI: 68%-91%) compared with FCR/BR (70%, CI: 60%-81%) or CD20Clb/Clb (60%, CI: 47%-74%). The most common AEs were infections and haematological AEs; 92% of patients treated with targeted drugs had AEs, 53% of which were severe. Upon FCR/BR and CD20Clb/Clb, AEs were present for 75% and 53% respectively, of which 63% and 31% were severe. These real-world data demonstrate higher TFS and a tendency towards higher OS following targeted second-line treatment for CLL compared to chemoimmunotherapy, also for patients who may be frailer and more comorbid.

    Abstract Introduction: Treatment of lymphoma can be associated with cognitive challenges, and some patients may fear development of dementia as long-term complication. Studies report a lower risk of dementia after cancer. Some believe this difference to be a protective mechanism of cancer, others believe it to be driven by bias. The risk of developing dementia after lymphoma has not been investigated in a population-based setting. The aim of this study was to identify the risk of being diagnosed with dementia after lymphoma treatment.
    Materials and methods: This Danish nationwide matched cohort study included patients aged ≥65 years with a first-time diagnosis of a non-central nervous system lymphoma between 2005 and 2018 in complete remission after treatment with chemotherapy. Patients diagnosed with dementia or treated with dementia medication before lymphoma diagnosis were excluded. Each patient was matched 1:5 on sex, year of birth, and a modified Charlson comorbidity index. Patients and matched comparators were followed from the corresponding patient's date of complete remission. The risk of developing dementia was calculated using cause-specific hazard ratios (HR), and the cumulative risk was estimated by Aalen-Johansen with death as the competing risk.
    Results: A total of 3,244 patients and 16,220 matched comparators were included in the study. There was no difference in risk of all-cause dementia among patients with lymphoma compared to matched comparators with cause-specific HR of 0.85 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.70;1.04). The risk of both Alzheimer's disease and non-Alzheimer's dementia was equal among patients and comparators: HR 0.89 (95% CI: 0.66;1.21) and 0.82 (95% CI: 0.63;1.07), respectively. Stratified by lymphoma subtype, age, or year of diagnosis, the risk of all-cause dementia remained equal among patients and matched comparators. The cumulative risk of all-cause dementia was significantly lower among patients with lymphoma compared to matched comparators (Gray's test p < 0.001), probably reflecting higher mortality in patients with lymphoma.
    Discussion: The risk of all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and non-Alzheimer's dementia was equal among older patients with lymphoma compared to matched comparators. Our data suggests that risk of developing dementia is not changed after lymphoma treatment.

    Abstract For most patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), R-CHOP immunochemotherapy leads to complete remission and 60-70% of patients remain progression-free after 5 years. Given a median age of 65, it is relevant to disentangle how DLBCL and DLBCL therapy influence health care use among the survivors. In this nationwide study, the health care use among Danish DLBCL patients diagnosed in 2007-2015, who achieved complete remission after R-CHOP(-like) therapy, was explored and compared to matched comparators from the Danish general population. The post-remission 5-year risk of hospitalization was significantly higher among DLBCL survivors (55%) compared to matched comparators (49%, P < 0.001). DLBCL survivors had on average 10.3 (9.3-11.3) inpatient bed days within 5 years of response evaluation, whereas matched comparators had 8.4 (7.9-8.8). The rate of outpatient visits was also significantly higher(excluding routine follow-up visits, incidence rate ratio, 1.3, P < 0.001), but translated into only a very small absolute difference of <1 outpatient visits within 5 years between DLBCL survivors (4.2 visits, 95% CI, 4.0-4.4) and matched comparators (3.8 visits, 95% CI, 3.7-3.9). In conclusion, DLBCL survivors have an increased incidence of hospital visits due to a wide range of conditions, but in absolute terms the excess use of health care services in DLBCL survivors was small.

    Abstract Purpose: Many patients diagnosed with lymphoma are of working age. Cancer patients are known to have a higher risk of sick leave and disability pension, but this has only been delineated for certain subtypes of lymphoma. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the overall risk of disability pension for all lymphoma subtypes and at quantifying return to work for patients with lymphoma in work before diagnosis.
    Patients and methods: Patients aged 18-60 years with lymphoma in complete remission (CR) diagnosed between 2000 and 2019 were included in the study. Using national registers, each patient was matched with five comparators from the general population with same sex, birth year, and level of Charlson Comorbidity Index. Risk of disability pension was calculated from 90 days after CR or end of treatment with competing events (death, retirement pension, early retirement pension, relapse for patients, or lymphoma diagnosis for comparators). Return to work for patients was calculated annually until 5 years after diagnosis for patients employed before diagnosis.
    Results: In total, 4072 patients and 20,360 comparators were included. There was a significant increased risk of disability pension for patients with all types of lymphoma compared to the general population (5-year risk difference: 5.3 (95% confidence interval (CI): 4.4;6.2)). Patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma were more likely to get disability pension than patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (sex- and age-adjusted 10-year risk difference: 2.9 (95% CI: 0.3;5.5)). One year after diagnosis, 24.5% of the relapse-free patients were on sick leave. Return to work was highest 2 years after diagnosis (82.1%).
    Conclusion: Patients with lymphoma across all subtypes have a significantly higher risk of disability pension. Return to work peaks at 2 years after diagnosis.

    Abstract Outcome data of patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) beyond the second line are scarce outside of clinical trials. Novel therapies in the R/R setting have been approved based on single-arm trials, but results need to be contextualized by real-world outcomes. Medical records from 3753 Danish adults diagnosed with DLBCL were reviewed. Patients previously treated with rituximab and anthracycline-based chemotherapy who received the third or later line (3 L+) of treatment after 1 January 2015, were included. Only 189 patients with a median age of 71 years were eligible. The median time since the last line of therapy was 6 months. Patients were treated with either best supportive care (22%), platinum-based salvage therapy (13%), low-intensity chemotherapy (22%), in clinical trial (14%) or various combination treatments (32%). The 2-year OS-/PFS estimates were 25% and 12% for all patients and 49% and 17% for those treated with platinum-based salvage therapy. Age ≥70, CNS involvement, elevated LDH and ECOG ≥2 predicted poor outcomes, and patients with 0-1 of these risk factors had a 2-year OS estimate of 65%. Only a very small fraction of DLBCL patients received third-line treatment and were eligible for inclusion. Outcomes were generally poor, but better in intensively treated, fit young patients with limited disease.

    Abstract Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and unmutated immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable region gene (IGHV) have inferior survival from time of treatment in clinical studies. We assessed real-world outcomes based on mutational status and treatment regimen in a nationwide population-based cohort, comprising all 4,135 patients from the Danish chronic lymphocytic leukemia registry diagnosed between 2008 and 2017. In total, 850 patients with known mutational status received treatment: 42% of patients received intensive chemoimmunotherapy consisting of fludarabine, cyclophosphamide plus rituximab, or bendamustine plus rituximab; 27% received chlorambucil in combination with anti-CD20 antibodies or as monotherapy, and 31% received other, less common treatments. No difference in overall survival from time of first treatment according to mutational status was observed, while treatment-free survival from start of first treatment was inferior for patients with unmutated IGHV. The median treatment-free survival was 2.5 years for patients treated with chlorambucil plus anti-CD20, and 1 year for those who received chlorambucil monotherapy. The 3-year treatment-free survival rates for patients treated with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide plus rituximab, and bendamustine plus rituximab were 90% and 91% for those with mutated IGHV, and 76% and 53% for those with unmutated IGHV, respectively, and the 3-year overall survival rates were similar for the two regimens (86-88%). Thus, it appears that, in the real-world setting, patients progressing after intensive chemoimmunotherapy as first-line therapy can be rescued by subsequent treatment, without jeopardizing their long overall survival. Intensive chemoimmunotherapy remains a legitimate option alongside targeted agents, and part of a personalized treatment landscape in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, while improved supportive care and treatment options are warranted for unfit patients.
