BUFFALO, NY – May 19, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on May 9, 2025, titled “Analytical validation of a circulating tumor DNA assay using PhasED-Seq technology for detecting residual disease in B-cell malignancies.” In this study, a team from Foresight Diagnostics led by first author Nina Klimova and corresponding author Laura Hyland validated a new DNA-based blood test designed to detect minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients with B-cell cancers. This assay uses a highly sensitive method called Phased Variant Enrichment and Detection Sequencing (PhasED-Seq) to find tiny fragments of tumor DNA in the blood. Its ultra-sensitive detection capabilities offer a powerful tool for early cancer detection, monitoring treatment response, and predicting cancer reappearance. B-cell lymphomas, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), are among the most prevalent blood cancers. Although many patients respond to initial treatment, up to 40% relapse. Standard monitoring methods such as imaging scans often miss low levels of cancer cells, creating a need for more precise tools. This study introduces a non-invasive blood test that improves the detection of MRD, a critical factor in guiding follow-up care and early intervention. The test works by tracking unique groups of mutations known as phased variants in tumor DNA. These mutations are more specific to cancer and allow for highly accurate identification of tumor fragments in the bloodstream. The PhasED-Seq-based MRD assay was tested on three types of samples. First, blood plasma from healthy individuals was used to confirm the test does not give false positives. Second, researchers created controlled samples by mixing tumor DNA from lymphoma patients with healthy DNA to measure how sensitive and precise the test is. Finally, blood samples from patients with B-cell lymphoma were used to compare the new test to an existing method. Across all sample types, the PhasED-Seq-based MRD assay demonstrated exceptional performance—capable of detecting fewer than one cancer DNA molecule per million normal DNA fragments. It also demonstrated a very low false positive rate and over 96% reproducibility across different laboratory conditions. Compared to an existing method, the new PhasED-Seq assay showed more than 90% agreement in positive results and nearly 78% agreement in negative results. In cases where the tests disagreed, the new method aligned more closely with actual clinical outcomes, including whether patients relapsed or stayed in remission. “The background error rate of the PhasED-Seq-based MRD assay was 1.95E-08, or 1.95 mutant molecules in 100 million informative molecules.” The findings support the use of PhasED-Seq-based MRD assays in routine clinical practice. It could be especially useful for identifying patients who need additional treatment even when imaging results appear normal. This aligns with updated clinical guidelines that encourage the use of blood-based DNA tests to supplement traditional scans in lymphoma care. This study offers strong evidence that the PhasED-Seq-based MRD assay is a precise, reliable, and clinically relevant tool. By detecting signs of cancer earlier and more accurately, it may help clinicians tailor treatments to individual patients and improve long-term outcomes in B-cell malignancies.

In this week's episode, we'll learn about stopping myeloma maintenance therapy in the modern era. New research suggests that many patients in remission can discontinue lenalidomide, remaining treatment-free, without jeopardizing disease response. After that: a novel congenital neutropenia syndrome. Mutations in the COPZ1 gene impact myeloid differentiation and development of neutropenia. Researchers describe the mechanisms and propose a treatment strategy for restoring granulopoiesis. Finally, ruxolitinib maintenance therapy after allogeneic transplant. In a phase 2 study, this treatment strategy was associated with low rates of chronic graft-versus-host disease. Investigators say the use of JAK inhibitors in this context warrants further study.Featured Articles: Sustained bone marrow and imaging MRD negativity for 3 years drives discontinuation of maintenance post-ASCT in myelomaA new severe congenital neutropenia syndrome associated with autosomal recessive COPZ1 mutationsLow rates of chronic graft-versus-host disease with ruxolitinib maintenance following allogeneic HCT

In a conversation with CancerNetwork®, Viviana Cortiana, MS4, medical student in the Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences at the University of Bologna, and Yan Leyfman, MD, a resident physician from the Icahn School of Medicine of the Mount Sinai Health System, discussed their publication in the March 2025 issue of ONCOLOGY titled “Expanding horizons in T-cell lymphoma therapy: a focus on personalized treatment strategies.” Throughout the discussion, the authors spoke about the current lymphoma landscape, CAR T-cell therapy, and the evolving understanding of the tumor microenvironment. Specifically, Cortiana covered a shift from histology-based classification to molecular tumor type classification using next-generation sequencing, as well as a growing interest in biomarker-driven therapies. Regarding the limited efficacy of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) in T-cell lymphoma, she listed potential advances in combination therapies for angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), which include combining P13K and HDAC inhibition as well as CD30- and TRBC1-targeting CAR T-cell therapies. Furthermore, Leyfman discussed strategies that “reprogram” the microenvironment to address malignant T cells, particularly through epigenetic and adoptive cell therapies. Leyfman concluded by discussing future implications for T-cell lymphoma treatment, emphasizing an emergence of precision medicines and armored CAR engineering strategies. Authors of the manuscript published in ONCOLOGY outlined the available treatment options for peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), which include targeted therapies through EZH2 inhibition, chemotherapy with CHOP, CAR T-cell therapies, and allogenic stem cell transplantation. Additionally, they highlighted encouraging results from clinical trials evaluating epigenetic-targeted therapies through the identification of molecular aberrations, which can help tailor treatments to individual patients.  Furthermore, the article explored limitations of chemotherapy as well as autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), which may not be feasible for older patients or those with comorbidities. Authors suggested that targeted therapies may enhance tumor specificity while reducing systemic toxicity. Given the risks associated with ASCT, they emphaisized a focus on the incorporation of optimized treatment strategies, such as novel pharmaceuticals and combination therapies, into clinical practice for patients with PTCL.

In this week's episode, we'll hear about how researchers look toward the lung, and find uniquely programmed blood stem cells. This study is the first to fully characterize hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in the adult human lung. After that: researchers develop a neural network-based probabilistic classifier, DLBclass, that assigns all diffuse large B-cell lymphomas into one of five genetic subtypes. It's an inclusive taxonomy that they say provides actionable genetic information in almost all patients with DLBCL. Finally, new insights on NETS, or neutrophil extracellular traps. In the liver vasculature, NET removal leads to secondary inflammation, resulting in new waves of NETS that may impact future infection. We'll review these and other findings from this recent mouse model study.Featured Articles:Decoding functional hematopoietic progenitor cells in the adult human lungDLBclass: a probabilistic molecular classifier to guide clinical investigation and practice in diffuse large B-cell lymphomaDonor regulatory T-cell therapy to prevent graft-versus-host disease

Here's the latest CPG news happening right now on March 9th, 2025 including New Malk SKUs, Sweet Loren's Meteoric Rise, Expo West RecapMalk has released two new SKUs in multi-serve format: Coconut Malk and Soy Malk. These are both available in 32 oz bottles.Coconut MALK is hitting shelves nationwideSoy MALK is exclusive to Whole Foods Market and with 3 Simple Ingredients and 6g of naturally occurring protein per serving fills a much needed niche.They debuted both at Expo West this past weekThe cookie dessert brand Sweet Loren's is now on track to achieve $120M in revenue in 2025Loren Castle is the CEO and Founder. The then 22-year-old New York City native got a degree in communications and knew she liked health, wellness and business, “but I had no idea what I was going to do with my life,” she says. Post-graduation, she went back to New York but planned to move to L.A. permanently to see where life took her.Just months after graduating, however, Castle was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a cancer that attacks the immune system, and had to undergo six months of chemotherapy. Depressed, she began seeing a therapist who helped her see the moment as empowering and an opportunity. There were still ways in which she could take control.One such way was her diet — she could make sure to eat healthy even after her treatment. Castle began taking nutrition and cooking classes, but she quickly discovered something was missing: dessert. “I have a huge sweet tooth,” she says, and she couldn't find baked goods made with more whole foods that didn't use ingredients like bleached white flour, corn syrup and artificial chemicals.So Castle started trying to make healthier desserts for herself. Expo West 2025 is in the books. There were over 65,000 attendees. This was the first year where every exhibit hall opened at the exact same time. According to recent information, Expo West 2025 featured around 3,600 exhibitors (an increae from 3,000 last year) showcasing a wide range of natural and organic products across various categories like food, beverage, packaging, and wellness items.

In this week's podcast, a potential new therapeutic target in beta-thalassemia. The E3 ubiquitin ligase AMBRA1 promotes autophagic clearance of free alpha-globin. Researchers describe mutations in the AMBRA1 gene that impair this clearance, exacerbating ineffective erythropoiesis and disease severity. After that: targeting MYD88 mutations. Lasalocid-A is a compound that selectively binds to the MYD88 L265P mutant protein, which is found in a range of B-cell lymphomas. New research shows its potential to inhibit tumor growth, overcome ibrutinib resistance, and synergize with venetoclax. Finally: air pollution is linked to an increased risk of venous thromboembolism in a prospective, community-based cohort study. The findings highlight the harms of pollution, and support the case for global efforts to improve public health.Featured Articles:Mutations in AMBRA1 aggravate β-thalassemia by impairing autophagy-mediated clearance of free α-globinLasalocid A selectively induces the degradation of MYD88 in lymphomas harboring the MYD88 L265P mutationAir pollution is associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Dr. Pamala Jones is back for Episode 2—yes, she actually returned! And this time, we're getting serious about cats.We dive into radiation therapy for some of the toughest feline cancers, including injection site sarcomas, squamous cell carcinoma, and—surprise!—intestinal lymphoma. Did you know that simply radiating a cat's abdomen can improve lymphoma cases? It's a fascinating option, even though data on radiation therapy in cats is limited. Pam shares her insights, emphasizing that sometimes, in veterinary oncology, there's no clear right or wrong—just the best possible choice for each patient.

The reach of the James Cancer Hospital extends far beyond Central Ohio. As part of Ohio State's Global One Health Initiative (GOHi), Robert Baiocchi, MD, PhD, is leading the research, vaccination and treatment efforts in Ethiopia for patients with lymphoma. “Lymphoma, a cancer of the white blood cells, is far more common in Sub-Saharan Africa, and afflicts people at a younger age” said Baiocchi, a James medical oncologist who specializes in treating patients with blood cancers. The prevalence of malaria and the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has led to the increased number of lymphoma diagnoses. “Starting in 2015 we opened a lab in Addis Ababa [the capital of Ethiopia] to study these viruses and how they cause cancers,” Baiocchi said, adding the initial research was to determine why the lymphoma rate was so high. “We're zeroing in on a couple of interesting findings; children who get malaria and EBV, that seems to be the perfect storm [for lymphoma].” Differences in the genetic makeup of people in Sub-Sharan Africa could be another factor in the increased lymphoma rates. Baiocchi and his team, and their partners in Ethiopia, are working on vaccines for malaria and EBV. “Studies tell us the virus here [in the United States] is different from the viruses in Ethipia and the vaccines we use here won't work there,” he said. “It's important to understand the genetic makeup of EBV in order to develop a vaccine that will be effective in that region.” The standard of care at the James for lymphoma patients includes a combination of chemotherapy drugs – and has proven to be very effective. “The resources for this aren't available in Ethiopia,” Baiocchi said, adding the James is developing a less-expensive, targeted therapy that shows promise. There are also plans to create a facility in Addis Ababa where lymphoma patients will be treated with cell therapy.
