Aim of databaseThe Danish National Lymphoma Registry (LYFO) was established in order to monitor and improve the diagnostic evaluation and the quality of treatment of all lymphoma patients in Denmark.Study populationThe LYFO database was established in 1982 as a seminational database including all lymphoma patients referred to the departments of hematology. The database became nationwide on January 1, 2000.Main variablesThe main variables include both clinical and paraclinical variables as well as details of treatment and treatment evaluation. Up to four forms are completed for each patient: a primary registration form, a treatment form, a relapse form, and a follow-up form. Variables are used to calculate six result quality indicators (mortality 30 and 180 days after diagnosis, response to first-line treatment, and survival estimates 1, 3, and 5 years after the time of diagnosis), and three process quality indicators (time from diagnosis until the start of treatment, the presence of relevant diagnostic markers, and inclusion rate in clinical protocols).Descriptive dataApproximately 23,000 patients were registered in the period 1982–2014 with a median age of 65 years (range: 16–100 years) and a male/female ratio of 1.23:1. Patients can be registered with any of 42 different subtypes according to the World Health Organization classifications.ConclusionLYFO is a nationwide database for all lymphoma patients in Denmark and includes detailed information. This information is used for both epidemiological research and clinical follow-up as well as for administrative purposes.
Preoperative CRT in the treatment of rectal cancer was associated with a 14-fold higher risk of PIFs after 3 years, whereas female gender and age above 65 years each tripled the risk of PIFs.
Background: Data on stoma reversal following restorative rectal resection (RRR) with a diverting stoma are conflicting. This study investigated a Danish population-based cohort of patients undergoing RRR to evaluate factors predictive of stoma reversal during 3 years of follow-up. Methods: Patients from national registries with rectal cancer undergoing RRR or Hartmann's procedure with curative intent between May 2001 and April 2012 were included. Patients with a diverting stoma were followed from the time of primary rectal cancer resection to date of stoma reversal, death, emigration, or end of 3-year follow-up. The cumulative incidence proportion (CIP) of stoma reversal at 1 and 3 years was calculated, treating death as a competing risk. Factors predictive of stoma reversal were explored using Cox regression analysis. Results: Of 6859 patients included, 35⋅7, 41⋅9 and 22⋅4 per cent respectively had a RRR with a diverting stoma, RRR without a stoma, and Hartmann's procedure with an end-colostomy. In patients with a diverting stoma, the CIP of stoma reversal was 70⋅3 (95 per cent c.i. 68⋅4 to 72⋅1) per cent after 1 year, and 74⋅3 (72⋅5 to 76⋅0) per cent after 3 years. Neoadjuvant treatment (hazard ratio (HR) 0⋅75, 95 per cent c.i. 0⋅66 to 0⋅85), blood loss greater than 300 ml (HR 0⋅86, 0⋅76 to 0⋅97), anastomotic leak (HR 0⋅41, 0⋅33 to 0⋅50), T3 category (HR 0⋅63, 0⋅47 to 0⋅83), T4 category (HR 0⋅62, 0⋅42 to 0⋅90) and UICC stage IV (HR 0⋅57, 0⋅41 to 0⋅80) were possible predictors of delayed stoma reversal. Conclusion: In one-quarter of the patients the diverting stoma had not been reversed 3 years after the intended RRR procedure.
7527 Background: Pts with R/R DLBCL who fail or are ineligible for ASCT have very poor outcomes with standard palliative chemotherapy. Rituximab + GemOx had a complete response rate of 33% (Cazelles et al, Leuk Lymphoma 2021); novel approaches are needed. Epco is a subcutaneously administered bispecific antibody targeting CD3 on T cells and CD20 on B cells. In the EPCORE NHL-1 dose-escalation trial, epco had manageable safety and antitumor activity in heavily pretreated B-cell NHL including DLBCL. EPCORE NHL-2 is a phase 1/2 trial evaluating epco + standard B-cell NHL therapies; shown here are results from arm 5 (NCT04663347). Methods: Adults with R/R CD20+ DLBCL who failed or were ineligible for ASCT received epco (QW, cycle [C] 1–3; Q2W, C4–9; Q4W, C≥10) and GemOx (Q2W, C1–4) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (28 d/C). Step-up epco dosing and prophylactic corticosteroids were required in C1 to mitigate CRS. Response was assessed by PET-CT per Lugano 2014 criteria. Results: As of Dec 1, 2021, 27 pts (median age, 71 y; range, 47–87 y) had received epco + GemOx (epco 24 mg, n=3; 48 mg, n=24). Most were stage IV (56%), primary refractory (56%), and refractory to last therapy (70%). Median number of prior therapies was 2 (range, 1–13). Median follow-up was 6.0 mo (range, 1.0–11.1), with treatment (Tx) ongoing in 16 pts (59%). The most common Tx-emergent AEs were CRS (70%), thrombocytopenia (70%), neutropenia (56%), anemia (52%), and infections (52%). CRS events were all grade (G) 1/2, with most cases occurring in C1; all cases resolved. One pt had ICANS (G3); 1 pt had tumor lysis syndrome (G3). Six pts (22%) had G5 AEs; investigator could not rule out contribution of epco in 2 pts: small bowel perforation in pt (72 y) with transformed DLBCL and extensive gastrointestinal involvement (had complete metabolic response [CMR]); acute hepatitis/multiorgan failure in pt (68 y) with transformed DLBCL and liver involvement (had CMR). Of 4 pts with fatal AEs unrelated to epcoritamab by investigator, 2 (87 y) had primary refractory disease and 2 (74 y) had multiple comorbidities. Response is shown in the Table. At the time of data cut, 65% of responders remained in response with the longest duration of response 6.9 mo. All 3 pts with prior CAR T remained on Tx and in response (2 CMR and 1 partial metabolic response [PMR]). Conclusions: When considering individual safety profiles of epco or GemOx, no unexpected safety findings were observed for epco + GemOx. In this R/R population with high unmet need, these initial data are encouraging and warrant further clinical evaluation. Clinical trial information: NCT04663347. [Table: see text]
