The aim was to explore if hypogammaglobulinemia in untreated DLBCL in a Swedish cohort was associated with inferior outcome, and to assess the relationship between low immunoglobulin (Ig) levels and infections. Using data from the Swedish Lymphoma Register, we retrospectively identified patients above18 years diagnosed with DLBCL, receiving anthracycline-based curative therapy during 2000–2015 in Southern Sweden with Ig-levels tested at baseline. Data on Ig levels and infections were collected from medical records. Five hundred eighty-five patients were included, median age was 69 years. Hypogammaglobulinemia was detected at baseline in 24%, the most common Ig deficiency was IgG (18%), followed by IgA (10%) and IgM (8%). Hypogammaglobulinemia was associated with inferior overall survival (HR 1.4, 95% CI 1.0–1.8, <i>p</i>-value 0.018), but not when adjusted for International Prognostic Index (IPI). Low levels of Ig were associated with more infections during lymphoma treatment (<i>p</i>-value 0.013), also when adjusted for IPI (<i>p</i>-value < 0.001).

Tinostamustine, a novel alkylating deacetylase inhibitor, inhibits tumor cell growth and slows disease progression in models of hematological malignancies and solid tumors. This was a Phase I, multicenter, open-label, two-stage trial investigating the safety and efficacy of tinostamustine in patients ≥ 18 years with relapsed/refractory (R/R) hematological malignancies, including HL. Stage 1 involved dose-escalation to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of tinostamustine, optimal infusion time and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). Stage 2 confirmed the safety and efficacy of the RP2D in expansion cohorts of selected R/R hematological malignancies. Ten patients with heavily pre-treated HL entered dose-escalation, with nine patients experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) considered to be related to study treatment—primarily hematological toxicities. MTD was 100 mg/m<sup>2</sup> tinostamustine over 60 min and signals of efficacy were observed for patients with HL. In Stage 2, all 20 patients with HL experienced ≥ 1 TEAE, which were principally hematological or gastrointestinal. There were no tinostamustine-related deaths in either stage of the study. Overall response rate in Stage 2 was 37% (2 complete responses, 5 partial responses; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 16%, 62%) and median progression-free survival 3.8 months (95% CI: 2.2–9.4 months).

Additionally, mutant cell lines were engineered to replicate clinically relevant IDH2 mutations. To investigate cellular responses, the glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) was administered to the cells. Cell proliferation was quantified using a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), while apoptosis was evaluated through propidium iodide staining followed by flow cytometry. Glycolytic metabolism levels were measured using a specific reagent kit, and Western blotting was employed to determine the expression levels of glycolysis-related proteins. Transcriptome sequencing was conducted to elucidate the mechanisms by which IDH2 mutations influence glycolysis. Furthermore, both in vitro cell experiments and in vivo subcutaneous transplantation tumor models in nude mice were utilized to validate these mechanisms.

Both IDH2 mutations and OE-IDH2 produce similar effects on these cellular processes. The increase in glycolysis levels following IDH2 mutation may contribute to the reduced efficacy of Enasidenib in inhibiting the proliferation of IDH-mutant AML cells.
