Background: The genetic heterogeneity of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) significant influences prognosis and treatment response. Recent advances in molecular profiling have facilitated the identification of driver mutations (Zhang et al. 2023). Nevertheless, data on relapsed/refractory (R/R) DLBCL remain limited. Salvage chemotherapy R-MINE (rituximab, mitoxantrone, ifosfamide, etoposide) remains the therapeutic mainstay, yet suboptimal survival persists. To address this, we explored R-MINE by replacing conventional mitoxantrone with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome (Lipo-MIT) and incorporated molecular subtype-guided targeted agents (X) into the R-MINE+X regimen for R/R DLBCL.
Methods: This multicenter, single-arm, open-label, phase II study enrolled adult patients (pts) with R/R DLBCL. Following the first R-MINE cycle, pts received subtype-stratified targeted therapy (X) in combination with R-MINE. The R-MINE+X regimen (rituximab 375 mg/m2, d0; Lipo-MIT 12‒20 mg/m2, d1; ifosfamide 1.33 g/m2, d1‒3; etoposide 65 mg/m2, d1‒3) was administered for up to 3 cycles (each cycle lasting 21 days). Targeted combinations: MCD/BN2 (BTK inhibitors), EZB (chidamide), TP53 mutation (PD-1 monoclonal antibody), other subtypes (lenalidomide/investigator's choice). The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR). This study is registered (NCT05784987) at www.clinicaltrials.gov.
Results: From April 2022 to March 2025, sixty R/R DLBCL pts were enrolled (median age 62 [range 24–79]; 58.3% male). Among them, 45 (75.0%) pts had advanced-stage disease with stage III‒IV, and 28 (46.7%) pts had IPI scores of 3‒5. Forty (66.7%) pts were refractory to the last-line therapy, and 31 pts (51.7%) were primary refractory.
As of the date cutoff, a total of 49 pts had undergone at least once efficacy assessment, with the ORR of 75.5% (37/49) and complete response (CR) rate of 51.0% (25/49). With EZB group (n = 3), 2 pts achieved CR and 1 patient achieved partial response (PR). The MCD/BN2 group (n = 18) showed an ORR of 77.8% (14/18) and a CR rate of 55.6% (10/18). Among the TP53 mutation group (n = 2), 1 patient achieved PR. The ORR and CR rate of the other group (n = 24) were 75.0% (18/24) and 50.0% (12/24), respectively. Preliminary efficacy was demonstrated in advanced-stage disease, non-germinal center B cell like (non-GCB) and double expressor lymphoma (DEL) (Table 1). These results suggest particular therapeutic potential in populations with unfavorable prognostic features. With a median follow-up of only 3.1 months (95% CI: 2.2–4.0), the survival requires longer observation. The most common grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events were neutropenia (35.0%), leucopenia (31.7%), anemia (25.0%), thrombocytopenia (15.0%), and hypokalemia (11.7%). No cardiac-related adverse events were reported.
Conclusions: The R-MINE+X regimen exhibited favorable tolerability and clinically meaningful efficacy in R/R DLBCL.

期刊介绍:
Hematological Oncology considers for publication articles dealing with experimental and clinical aspects of neoplastic diseases of the hemopoietic and lymphoid systems and relevant related matters. Translational studies applying basic science to clinical issues are particularly welcomed. Manuscripts dealing with the following areas are encouraged:
-Clinical practice and management of hematological neoplasia, including: acute and chronic leukemias, malignant lymphomas, myeloproliferative disorders
-Diagnostic investigations, including imaging and laboratory assays
-Epidemiology, pathology and pathobiology of hematological neoplasia of hematological diseases
-Therapeutic issues including Phase 1, 2 or 3 trials as well as allogeneic and autologous stem cell transplantation studies
-Aspects of the cell biology, molecular biology, molecular genetics and cytogenetics of normal or diseased hematopoeisis and lymphopoiesis, including stem cells and cytokines and other regulatory systems.
Concise, topical review material is welcomed, especially if it makes new concepts and ideas accessible to a wider community. Proposals for review material may be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief. Collections of case material and case reports will be considered only if they have broader scientific or clinical relevance.
