At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to: • Describe the pathophysiology of (FL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and risk factors for disease progression that guide treatment decisions • Distinguish new and emerging agents for treating FL and MCL based on mechanisms of action and clinical efficacy and safety data • Explain appropriate prevention and management of therapy- induced adverse effects • Identify the multifaceted roles of the pharmacist in improving adherence and disease outcomes in patients receiving therapy for B-cell NHL Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Overview

Follicular Lymphoma (FL) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) Overview

• Lymphoproliferative disorders originating in B-lymphocytes, T- lymphocytes, or natural killer cells • 74,200 new cases and 19,970 deaths in 2019 • Seventh most common; 4%-5% of new cases and 3%-4% of deaths • Diagnosis median age 67 years • Death median age 76 years • >60 specific NHL subtypes have been identified by the World Health Death rates have been falling on average Organization • Aggressive lymphomas: 60% of cases 2.2% each year over 2007-2016. • Indolent lymphomas: 40% of cases 5-year OS = 72%

• Early recognition and intervention is key • Steroids are primary therapy for most organ toxicities • Steroids do NOT reduce efficacy of immunotherapy • For doses >20 mg daily of prednisone, can consider PJP prophylaxis (if >4 weeks) and fungal prophylaxis (if >6-8 weeks) • In general: • Grade 1 – Checkpoint inhibitor therapy continued with close monitoring • Grade 2 – Checkpoint inhibitor therapy should be held and give steroids • Grade 3 and 4 – Checkpoint inhibitors should be held or permanently discontinued • High-dose corticosteroids (prednisone 1-2 mg/kg/d or methylprednisolone 1-2 mg/kg/d), continued until resolution to Grade 1, THEN tapered over at least 4-6 weeks • Exception of endocrinopathies that have been controlled by hormone replacement

NCCN Guidelines Management of Immunotherapy-Related Toxicities, V2.2019; Brahmer JR, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2018;36(17):1714-1768. Dermatologic IRAE Management

• Topical emollients and/or mild-moderate potency topical Continue immune Grade 1 corticosteroids checkpoint inhibitor • Avoid skin irritants and sun exposure (ICPI) therapy

• Consider initiating prednisone (or equivalent) at 1 mg/kg, tapering Consider holding over at least 4 weeks Grade 2 ICPI, monitor weekly • Treat with topical emollients, oral antihistamines, and medium to for improvement high potency topical corticosteroids

• Initiate (methyl)prednisolone (or equivalent) 1-2 mg/kg, tapering over at least 4 weeks Hold ICPI, consult Grade 3 • Treat with topical emollients, oral antihistamines, and high- dermatology for potency topical corticosteroids resumption

• Initiate IV (methyl)prednisolone (or equivalent) 1-2 mg/kg, Hold ICPI indefinitely Grade 4 with slow tapering unless benefits outweigh risks

Brahmer JE, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2018;36:1714-1768. Gastrointestinal IRAE Management

• Mild • Hydration, antidiarrheals • Moderate to Severe • Corticosteroids (prednisone 1-2 mg/kg daily, give IV if hospitalized) • If no response in 2-3 days, give 1 dose of infliximab (5 mg/kg) • If no response to infliximab, give 1 dose vedolizumab • Colectomy for extremely serious or persistent cases

NCCN Guidelines Management of Immunotherapy-Related Toxicities, V2.2019; Brahmer JR, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2018;36(17):1714-1768. Hepatic IRAE Management

• IDH converts isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) • 2 predominant forms of IDH mutations • IDH1 (cytosolic): 7%-14% in adult AML • IDH2 (mitochondria): 8%-19 % in adult AML • Mutations lead to increased production to β-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) • 2-HG poisons TET → epigenetic changes that block differentiation

• AML is a heterogenous disease • Improved molecular understanding is increasing our ability to predict outcomes in AML and improve treatment options • Targeted therapies may improve outcomes when combined with conventional therapies • Patient selection for intensive therapy is multifactorial and not age dependent • Less intensive combination therapy is available for unfit patients • For patients with high risk disease, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation should be considered at CR1 • When possible, patients should be offered a clinical trial Additional Resources
