Abstract: 601
Title: Clinical Outcomes of Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Follicular Lymphoma Treated with Tisagenlecleucel: Phase 2 Elara 3-Year Follow-up
Date & time: Sunday, December 10, 2023 | 4:30 PM
Location: Room 6CF - San Diego Convention Center
Presenter: Stephen J Schuster, MD, Abramson Cancer Center, University of Pennsylvania
This presentation highlights results from the Phase 2 ELARA trial that show efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetic, and exploratory biomarker analyses in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma patients treated with tisagenlecleucel after a median follow-up of more than 3 years. Higher baseline levels of CD8+ naive T cells are associated with improved long-term clinical outcomes.

Title: A CD5 Gene Signature Identifies Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphomas Sensitive to Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibition
Date & time: Monday, December 11, 2023: 3:45 PM
Location: Room 6DE - San Diego Convention Center
Presenter: Alan Cooper, University of Chicago
This study highlights the discovery of a novel transcriptomic-based biomarker of BTK inhibitors (BTK-i) response in DLBCL patients. The biomarker, a CD5 gene signature, expands upon existing genetic DLBCL classifications by identifying DLBCL patients that can benefit from BTK-i, warranting further prospective validation in BTK-i clinical trials.

Abstract: 905
Title: Machine Learning (ML)-Enabled Automation for High-Throughput Data Processing in Flow Cytometry
Date & time: Monday, December 11, 2023 | 3:45 PM
Location: Room 6CF - San Diego Convention Center
Presenter: Anna Kamysheva, MSc, BostonGene
This presentation describes BostonGene's development of an ML-based algorithm for automated cell-type labeling that enables the detection of rare and/or new cell populations with high speed and accuracy. This algorithm is applicable in clinical settings, particularly for detecting hematological abnormalities and cancers.
Abstract: 983
Title: Addition of Acalabrutinib to Lenalidomide and Rituximab Induces High Complete Response Rates in Patients with Previously Untreated Follicular Lymphoma: Results of a Phase II Study
Date & time: Monday, December 11, 2023 | 5:30 PM
Location: Grand Hall C - Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego
Presenter: Paolo Strati, MD, MD Anderson
The study demonstrates the safety and efficacy of lenalidomide and rituximab treatment in combination with acalabrutinib in previously untreated FL patients and highlights the use of bulk RNA sequencing with deconvolution to analyze the biological effects of this treatment combination on peripheral blood immune cells.

Title: Preliminary Analysis of an Ongoing Phase II Study of Response-Adapted Therapy with Copanlisib and Rituximab for Untreated Follicular Lymphoma
Date & time: Saturday, December 9, 2023 | 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Location: Halls G-H - San Diego Convention Center
Presenter: Rahul Lakhotia, MBBS, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health
This study describes the preliminary analysis (including safety and efficacy) of an ongoing "window of opportunity" study of copanlisib, followed by response-adapted copanlisib and rituximab in treatment-naïve patients with follicular lymphoma (FL). Gene expression profiling was used to identify high-risk patients and find a predictive signature of response to PI3K inhibitor.
