B-cell Lymphoma: Understanding

B-cell Lymphoma: Overview

B-cell lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that arises from B lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell responsible for producing antibodies to fight infections. B-cell lymphomas account for about 85% of all NHL cases and encompass a variety of subtypes, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and Burkitt lymphoma. Each subtype has distinct clinical behaviors, but in general, B-cell lymphomas are characterized by abnormal proliferation of B-cells in the lymphatic system, often involving the lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow.

The signs and symptoms of B-cell lymphoma can vary depending on the subtype and stage of the disease but commonly include:

• Lymphadenopathy: Painless swelling of lymph nodes, especially in the neck, armpit, or groin, is the most common symptom.
• Systemic "B" symptoms: Fever, night sweats, and unintentional weight loss are hallmark signs of more aggressive types of B-cell lymphoma.
• Fatigue: Generalized fatigue and weakness are common due to anemia or the overall systemic impact of the disease.
• Other symptoms: Depending on the areas affected, patients may experience abdominal pain, chest discomfort, or symptoms related to organ involvement, such as liver or spleen enlargement.

B-cell lymphoma develops when genetic mutations occur in the DNA of B lymphocytes, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and the avoidance of normal apoptotic mechanisms (programmed cell death). These mutations can arise due to chromosomal translocations, deletions, or other abnormalities in genes that regulate cell division, such as BCL2, MYC, and BCL6. In aggressive forms like DLBCL, mutations drive rapid proliferation of malignant B cells, leading to large, often bulky lymph node masses. In contrast, more indolent forms like follicular lymphoma progress slowly, allowing for prolonged survival but eventual disease transformation in some cases. The interaction between malignant B cells and their microenvironment, including surrounding immune cells and stromal cells, also plays a role in the progression of the disease.

The diagnosis of B-cell lymphoma requires a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. A definitive diagnosis is made by examining lymph node tissue or other affected sites under a microscope to identify malignant B cells. Immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry are used to determine the specific subtype of B-cell lymphoma by analyzing cell surface markers (e.g., CD20, CD10, BCL2). Advanced techniques like fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and gene expression profiling help identify genetic mutations and chromosomal rearrangements characteristic of certain subtypes. Imaging studies, such as CT or PET scans, are used to assess the extent of disease involvement, including the presence of extranodal disease (spread to organs outside the lymph nodes).

The treatment of B-cell lymphoma depends on the subtype, stage, and aggressiveness of the disease. For aggressive subtypes like DLBCL, chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy (e.g., the R-CHOP regimen: rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) is the standard of care. For indolent forms like follicular lymphoma, a "watch and wait" approach may be used in early stages, with treatment initiated upon disease progression. Targeted therapies, such as Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors and CAR T-cell therapy, have become significant advancements for relapsed or refractory cases. In addition, radiation therapy may be used in localized disease, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an option for some patients with relapsed disease. The prognosis varies widely, with aggressive forms requiring immediate treatment but potentially curable, while indolent forms may be managed over many years.

It is made from a patient’s own T cells, which are collected and genetically reengineered to become CAR T cells that are then delivered via infusion as a one-time treatment. Breyanzi is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of adult patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), not otherwise specified (including DLBCL arising from indolent lymphoma), high-grade B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal LBCL, and follicular lymphoma grade 3B who have refractory disease to first-line chemoimmunotherapy or relapse within 12 months of first-line chemoimmunotherapy, or refractory disease to first-line chemoimmunotherapy or relapse after first-line chemoimmunotherapy and are not eligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplant due to comorbidities or age, or relapsed or refractory disease after two or more lines of systemic therapy. The drug is currently in Phase III stage of development for treatment of B cell lymphoma.

• Glofitamab: Hoffmann-La Roche

Glofitamab is a CD20xCD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody designed to target CD3 on the surface of T-cells and CD20 on the surface of B-cells. The drug candidate was designed with a novel 2:1 structural format. This T-cell engaging bispecific antibody is engineered to have one region that binds to CD3, a protein on T-cells, a type of immune cell, and two regions that bind to CD20, a protein on B-cells, which can be healthy or malignant. This dual-targeting brings the T-cell in close proximity to the B-cell, activating the release of cancer cell-killing proteins from the T-cell. Columvi is part of Roche’s broad and industry-leading CD20xCD3 T-cell-engaging bispecific antibody clinical development programme that also includes Lunsumio® (mosunetuzumab), which aims to provide tailored treatment options that suit the diverse needs, preferences, and experiences of people with blood cancers and healthcare systems. Roche is investigating Columvi as a monotherapy and in combination with other medicines for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and other blood cancers. The drug is currently in Phase III stage of development for treatment of B cell lymphoma.

• NKTR-255: Nektar Therapeutics

Following a single dose of AVM0703, these supercharged immune cells appear in the bloodstream and target abnormal cells, including cancer cells, infected cells, and autoreactive lymphocytes. AVM0703’s mechanism is based on a proprietary suprapharmacologic dose of dexamethasone, designed to deliver high doses without typical side effects. This enhanced dexamethasone formulation triggers the activation and mobilization of AVM-NKT cells, offering a potent yet gentler treatment option by targeting malignancies and immune disorders with precision. The drug is currently in Phase I/II stage of development for treatment of B cell lymphoma.

• LBS-007: Lin BioScience, Inc

LBS-007 is a novel targeted therapy for the treatment of a broad array of cancers. It has demonstrated activity against leukemia and solid tumors, especially in chemotherapy-resistant cell lines and other cancer cell lines. LBS-007 has obtained Orphan Drug Destination (ODD) for Acute Lymphoma Leukemia (ALL) from US FDA in 2018/March and entered a first-in-human Phase I/II trial. LBS-007 inhibits cancer cell replication by interrupting the S phase of the cell cycle. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit a key regulator protein of the cell cycle, CDC7. Inhibition of CDC7 stops the proliferation of tumor cells and results in cancer cell death. Because CDC7’s activity is often upregulated in cancer cells in comparison to healthy cells, it’s an ideal candidate for a targeted anti-cancer therapy. The drug is currently in Preclinical stage of development for treatment of B cell lymphoma.
