Thanks for the shoutout Dr. Kimryn Rathmell!! Amazing to see this regimen developed by researchers @NCICCR_Lymphoma changing the lives of our #lymphoma patients

Excited to share 2 year follow-up of SWOG Cancer Research Network S1826: Nivolumab+AVD vs. BV-AVD in Advanced-Stage Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma NEJM Wilmot Cancer Institute nejm.org/doi/full/10.10β¦

ViPOR regimen in MCL #ASH24 Christopher Melani: - 36 pts (16 R/R), 32% TP53mut, med LOT 3 - R2PD ven dose 400 mg, no TLS, 89% completed all 6 cycles - CR 100% (!!!) - 2-yr PFS: 1L 95%; R/R 75%; 2-yr TTP 100% in TP53mut Also uMRD in 97%! Looking forward to more details on TP53mut. #lymsm


Thanks for the shout out Ajay Major, MD, MBA !! We too are very encouraged by the safety and efficacy of ViPOR in MCL, including high-risk blastoid and TP53m pts. Other big difference is limited duration of 18w without maintenance ππ»

Thanks for sharing Ajay Major, MD, MBA β¦High CR rate and durable PFS in non-GCB as you mention and looks even better in true ABC by RNA-seq. We expanded in non-GCB to see if the CR rate and PFS is significantly better than ViPOR aloneβ¦stay tuned!!



Time-limited VIPOR MCL Christopher Melani #ASH24 - 37 pts, 20 untreated, 34% whole cohort TP53mut - significant hypokalemia (27% G3!), diarrhea, rash - CR: 94% R/R, 100% untreated (!!!), 92% TP53mut - 2-yr TTP 95% 1L, 92% R/R Great data, especially TP53mut-enriched R/R cohort. #lymsm


Christopher Melani MRD dynamics attached. 13% progressed after EOT with MRD lead time of 2.3 months. #ASH24 #lymsm



Helpful review on ctDNA in lymphoma from Mark Roschewski et al just out in JAMA Oncology David Russler-Germain, MD/PhD Ash Alizadeh, MD/PhD πΊπΈ #lymsm #lymphoma Hua-Jay (Jeff) Cherng JAMA JAMA Network

Many thanks to Lymphoma Research Foundation for the opportunity to present data from our National Cancer Institute study of ViPOR in mantle cell #lymphoma! Great meeting with great discussion from leaders in the field!


Much deserved award to a leader in the field of mantle cell #lymphomaβ¦β¦BRAVO Martin πLymphoma Research Foundation



Such a thrill to watch Elaine Jaffe receive the Henry Kaplan award at #ICML2025! Well deserved indeed and an honor to be able to review our #lymphoma cases weekly with her under the microscope National Cancer Institute ππ»ππ»ππ»


#ClinicalTrial EA4231, led by Christopher Melani of National Cancer Institute, is testing the effectiveness of a combination #TargetedTherapy for patients with aggressive B-cell #Lymphoma that has recurred or is resistant to treatment.

Patients with aggressive B-cell #Lymphoma that has recurred or is resistant to treatment may be eligible to participate in #ClinicalTrial EA4231. Learn more here: bit.ly/EA4231 cc: Christopher Melani, National Cancer Institute, UVA Cancer Center


Excited to validate our single-center National Cancer Institute findings in this multi-center phase II study in additional patients with #lymphoma. Please consider referring patients or opening at your site if interested.
