    We retrospectively evaluated long-term outcomes of high dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (HDC/ASCT) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Between 2004 and 2020, 46 DLBCL patients received HDC/ASCT in our institution, including 12 patients (26.1%), who received as an upfront setting (UFS). At a median follow-up time of 69 months (range, 2-169 months), the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 82.5% (95%CI, 46.1-95.3%) in the UFS, and 57.8% (95%CI, 38.1-73.2%) in the relapsed or refractory (R/R) patients (n=34), respectively. The 5-year PFS rates were 62.3% (95%CI, 34.0-81.3%) in primary resistant (n=13) or early relapsing (within 1 year from the initial diagnosis) patients (n=4), and 53.3% (95%CI, 25.9-74.6%) in those relapsing >1 year after the initial diagnosis (n=17), with no statistically significant difference (p=0.498). In R/R patients, multivariate analysis showed that the remission status before HDC/ASCT was an independent poor prognostic factor for progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR], 17.0; 95%CI, 3.35-86.6; p=0.000630) and high-risk category in the international prognostic index for OS (HR, 9.39; 95%CI, 1.71-51.6; p=0.0100). The incidence of non-relapse mortality by 5 years, and 10 years were 12.2%, and 15.2%, respectively. Eleven patients (23.9%) developed second malignancies, which was the most frequent late complication after HDC/ASCT, with 5-year, and 10-year cumulative incidence of 16.9%, 22.5%, respectively. In conclusion, HDC/ASCT is effective for chemo-sensitive R/R DLBCL regardless of the timing and lines of therapy. However, careful observation is required, considering the long-term complications such as secondary malignancies.

    We previously reported that the antipsychotic drug chlorpromazine (CPZ), which inhibits the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) essential for endocytosis and intracellular transport of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), inhibits the growth/survival of acute myeloid leukemia cells with mutated RTK (KIT D816V or FLT3-ITD) by perturbing the intracellular localization of these molecules. Here, we examined whether these findings are applicable to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). CPZ dose-dependently inhibited the growth/survival of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line, PC9 harboring an EGFR-activating (EGFR exon 19 deletion). In addition, CPZ not only suppressed the growth/survival of gefitinib (GEF)-resistant PC9ZD cells harboring T790 M, but also restored their sensitivities to GEF. Furthermore, CPZ overcame GEF resistance caused by Met amplification in HCC827GR cells. As for the mechanism of CPZ-induced growth suppression, we found that although CPZ hardly influenced the phosphorylation of EGFR, it effectively reduced the phosphorylation of ERK and AKT. When utilized in combination with trametinib (a MEK inhibitor), dabrafenib (an RAF inhibitor), and everolimus (an mTOR inhibitor), CPZ suppressed the growth of PC9ZD cells cooperatively with everolimus but not with trametinib or dabrafenib. Immunofluorescent staining revealed that EGFR shows a perinuclear pattern and was intensely colocalized with the late endosome marker, Rab11. However, after CPZ treatment, EGFR was unevenly distributed in the cells, and colocalization with the early endosome marker Rab5 and EEA1 became more apparent, indicating that CPZ disrupted the intracellular transport of EGFR. These results suggest that CPZ has therapeutic potential for NSCLC with mutated EGFR by a novel mechanism different from conventional TKIs alone or in combination with other agents.

    A 62-year-old male was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and treated with a fludarabine-containing regimen which maintained the disease in a partial response. Nine years after diagnosis, a rapidly growing systemic lymphadenopathy was observed, and a biopsy specimen revealed the presence of typical Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells, surrounded by T-lymphocytes and CLL cells. Sequencing analysis of the germline complementary determining region 3 (CDR3) region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) gene showed that the Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg cells were clonally unrelated to the preexisting CLL cells and the HRS cells were composed of five different clones, leading to the molecular diagnosis of de novo lymphocyte-rich classic Hodgkin lymphoproliferative diseases (LPDs) with small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). As the initial treatment was neither effective for classic Hodgkin LPDs nor for SLL, Bendamustine, Rituximab (BR) was started and complete remission was achieved, which has continued for more than one year so far. BR may be a good therapeutic option for both entities without causing hematological toxicity.
