New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
Basavarajeeyam is an important text for ayurvedic physician belonging to andhra pradehs. It is a popular compendium in various parts of our country as well as in andhra pradesh. The content of the text was presented in sanskrit and telugu language (Bilingual). One of the most famous book in ayurvedic pharmaceutics and therapeutics. This book contains 25 chapters called as prakaranas. Many rasaoushadis were explained, pioneer of dhatu druti, nadi pareeksha, mutra pareeksha etc. Belongs to the period of 15-16 century. New diseases like upadamsha, phiranga rogas are explained.
2. RECURRENT APHTHOUS
STOMATITIS
(RAS/ aphthae/canker sores)
• It is a common condition which is
characterized by multiple recurrent
small, round or ovoid uIcers with
circumscribed margin,
erythematous halos and yellow or
grey floors, appearing first in
childhood or adolescence.
3. Clinical features
• RAS may affect 5-60yrs.
• Female predominance.
• Seen more predominantly in chiIdren.
• White : black , 3:1
• RAS consist of recurrent bouts of one or
several rounded, shallow, painful oral ulcers at
intervals of a few days to few months.
5. Minor recurrent
aphthous stomatitis
(MiRAS)
• Most common affecting
about 80% of RAS
patients,
• Characterized by:
Round or oval shallow
ulcers, 1-5 in no.
• Common sites:
Nonkeratinized mucosa,
labial and buccal mucosa
and floor of the mouth
6. • Shortest duration, Heal
within 10-14 days without
scarring.
• Size: < 5 mm, with a grey-
white pseudomembrane
enveloped by a thin
erythematous halo.
• Burning, itching, or
stinging, development of
erythematous macule
• Most common form of
childhood RAS.
7. Major recurrent aphthous stomatitis (MaRAS)
• Rare, severe form of RAS, also known as
periadenitis mucosa necrotica recurrens.
• Lesions are oval.
• Size: 1 cm -3cm.
• Sites: lips, soft palate, and fauces
• 1-10 in no.
8.
9. • persist for up to 6
weeks.
• Heal with scarring.
• Onset: after
puberty and is
chronic, persisting
for up to 20 or more
years.
• Most frequent
recurrences
• Coalesce into larger
irregular ulcerations
(Scully and Porter, 1989)
11. Herpetiform ulcers (HU)
• Least common variety of RAS.
• Characterized by:
Multiple recurrent crops of small, painful
ulcers.
• Sites: May be distributed throughout the oral
cavity.
• No.: 100
• Size: 2-3 mm in diameter.
• Late onset.
14. - Hematinic (iron, folic acid, or vitamin
B12) deficiencies
- Zinc deficiency
- Bechet's syndrome
- Celiac disease
- Cyclic neutropenia
- Some immunodeficiencies, HIV
- MAGIC syndrome (mouth and genital
ulcers with inflamed cartilage)
- PFAPA syndrome (periodic fever,
aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, cervical
adenitis)
15. Immunopathogenesis:
Immune-mediated:
• Mucosal destruction represent T cell mediated
immunologic reaction
• Patients with RAS have increased levels of (Cluster of
differentiation ) CD8+ T-lymphocytes (cyto toxic T cell )
and/or decreased CD4+ T lymphocytes,(suppression of
immune reaction )
• decreased CD4+ to CD8+ T ratio.
• These T-cells secrete various cytokines such as TNF-α,
IL-12 (pro inflammatory cells ), IL-10.(anti inflammatory
)
16. • TNF-α induces the initiation of the
inflammatory process by its chemotactic
effect on neutrophils.
• TNF-α also causes class-I and class-II MHC
expression. (mhc molecules is to bind peptide
fragments derived from pathogens and
display them on the cell surface for
recognition by the appropriate t cells .)
17. • IL-2 levels are markedly increased in the
active stage of RAS.
• IL-2 activates the NK-cells which are
associated with antiviral activity.
• IL-2 shows enhanced cytotoxicity against
fibroblasts, thus there is destruction of the
underlying connective.
18. • In the pre ulcerative and ulcerative stage
there is an increased expression of MHC-I,
II antigens in the basal epithelial cells.
• MHC antigens target these epithelial cells
for attack by cytotoxic (CD8+) T-cells in
the ulcerative stage.
19. Autoimmunity
• Immune deposits do occur especially in
the stratum spinosum, which contributes
to the immune-complex mediated tissue
damage, but is of secondary importance
in the etiopathogenesis of RAS.
20. Microbial Aspects of RAS
(Streptococcus )
• Recently, cross-reactivity between a streptococcal
heat shock protein (hsp) and the oral mucosa has
been demonstrated and significantly elevated
levels of serum antibodies to hsp are also
observed in RAS. (Lehner et al., 1991).
• Association of RAS with adenoviruses &
herpesviruses 1-6 is also seen.
• IgM and IgG antibodies to varicella zoster virus
(VZV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) may be
elevated in some RAS patients, suggesting
association between them and RAS.
21. Microscopic changes in RAS:-
• Pre ulcerative stage:
lymphocytes infiltrate the epithelium and
edema develops.
• Ulcerative stage:
Increase of pain.
Development of localized papular swelling
(because of keratinocyte vacuolization)
surrounded by a reactive erythematous
halo representing localized vasculitis with a
dense mononuclear cell infiltrate.
22. The painful papule then ulcerates and a
fibrous membrane covers the ulcer which
is infiltrated mainly by neutrophils,
lymphocytes and plasma cells.
• Healing stage:
Involves epithelial regeneration and
coverage of the ulcer.
23. Histopathologic Features
• Central zone of ulceration covered by
fibrinopurulent membrane
• Increased vascularity, mixed inflammatory
cellular infiltrate
• Numerous mononuclear cells in basilar one
third
• Band of lymphocytes intermixed with histiocytes
in superficial connective tissue and surrounding
deeper blood vessels
24.
25.
26. Behcet’s Disease (BD)
• Also called Behçet's
syndrome, Morbus Behçet, or
Silk Road disease, is a rare
immune-mediated systemic
vasculitis.
• Behçet's disease (BD) was
named in 1937 after the
Turkish dermatologist Hulusi
Behçet, who first described
the triple-symptom complex
of
–recurrent oral aphthous ulcers,
–genital ulcers, and
–uveitis (eye )
27. • Behçet's syndrome is a multisystem disorder
presenting with-
• • Recurrent oral and
• genital ulcerations and
• • Ocular involvement
• • Diagnosis is clinical, based on internationally
agreed diagnostic criteria
28. Clinical Features
• Males and females affected equally
• • Males often have more severe disease
• • Blacks are rarely affected
• Diagnostic Criteria of Behçet's Disease
• • Recurrent oral ulceration plus two of
the following: –
• Recurrent genital ulceration
• –Eye lesions
• –Skin lesions
• –Pathergy test (lesion resistent to
healing )
29. • 1. Orogenital ulceration
• • Recurrent aphthous ulcers
• • Painful, shallow /deep with central necrotic base
• • Singly or in crops
• • Variable size
• • Located anywhere in the oral cavity
• • Persist X 1–2 weeks, subside without scars
• • The genital ulcers –
• • less common, but more specific
• • Painful
• glans penis and urethra, and
• • produce scrotal scars
30. • 2. Skin involvement -80%
• • Folliculitis
• • Erythema nodosum
• • An acne-like exanthem
• • Vasculitis (infrequent)
• • Sweet's syndrome
• • Pyoderma gangrenosum
• • Nonspecific skin inflammatory reactivity to any
scratches or intradermal saline injection (pathergy
test) is a common and specific manifestation.
31. • 3. Eye involvement in 50%
• • Scarring and bilateral pan-uveitis
• • Iritis, posterior uveitis,
• • Retinal vessel occlusions, and
• • Optic neuritis
32. • 4. Joints- 50%
• • Non-deforming arthritis or arthralgias
• • Knees and ankles
39. Angioedema ,Angioneurotic
Edema,quincke’s Edema ,Giant
Urticaria
• • It is the rapid swelling of the
dermis, subcutaneous tissue,
mucosa and submucosal tissues
• • It is very similar to urticaria (a
rash of round weals on the skin
which itch intensely )
• • Differentiated through history
and examination
• • Etiologies of angioedema are
divided into mast cell mediated
and non-mast cell mediated
40.
41. • Non pitting,
• rapid onset,
• self limiting swelling
• • Results from increased
vascular permability
• • Generally resolves in 24-48
hours
• • But has the potential to ruin
your day (and the patient’s)
42. Types
• The causes of angioedema depend on the
type of angioedema a patient has:
• 1) acute allergic angioedema
• 2) non-allergic drug reactions
• 3) idiopathic angioedema
• 4) hereditary angioedema (HAE) / acquired
C1 inhibitor deficiency
43. Acute allergic angioedema
• • Almost always occurs with
urticaria within 1-2 hours of
exposure to the allergen
• • Nuts, shellfish, milk, eggs
• • Drugs, e.g. penicillin, NSAIDS,
vaccines
• • Radiocontrast media
• • Natural rubber latex e.g. gloves,
catheters
• • Reactions will recur with
repetitive exposures or exposure to
cross-reactive substances
44. Non-allergic drug reactions
• • Onset may be days to months after
taking the medication
• • Commonly ACE inhibitors
• • Cascade of effects via kinin
production and nitric oxide
generation
• • Occurs without urticaria
45. • ACE inhibitors increase bradykinin activity >>>
• Transient vasodilation >>>
• fluid in extracellular space .
• The incidence of angioedema from ACE
inhibitors ranges in the literature from 0.1 to
2.2%
46. Idiopathic angioedema
• • Similar to acute allergic but angioedema
keeps on recurring and often no known cause
is found
• • Usually occurs with urticaria
• • 30-50% of this type of angioedema may be
associated with some types of autoimmune
disorders including SLE
47. Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)
(Activation of complement pathway )
• • 2 types:
• Type 1 and II mutation of C1NH gene ( complement component 1
inhibitor )C1NH is a plasma protein involved in the regulation of
complement cascade has a INHIBITORY proteolytic activity )on
chromosome 11, (encoding C1 inhibitor protein)
• Type III mutation in F12 gene on chromosome 12, (encoding
coagulation factor XII)
• • Type 1 results in low levels and function of circulating C1
inhibitor;
• • Type II has normal levels of C1 inhibitor protein but reduction in
function or non functional .
• • Occurs in 1 in 50,000 males and females (rare)
• • Decreased C1 inhibitor activity leads to excessive kallikrein,
which in turn produces bradykinin, which we know is a potent
vasodilator.
48. Acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency
• • Acquired during life rather than
inherited
• • May be due to B-cell lymphoma or
antibodies against C1 inhibitor
• Seen in association with certain type of
lymphoproliferative disease in patients
who develop specific antiboidies .
• Lymphoid proliferation increases the
consumption of C1-INH,AND THE
ANTIBODIES PREVENT THE BINDING OF
C1-INH TO C1.
• • Treatment is the same as HAE
49. Acquired and Hereditary:
• • Patients often experience no symptoms until
they reach puberty
• • Swellings can occur without any provocation
• • Sometimes local trauma, vigorous exercise,
emotional stress, alcohol, and hormonal
factors
• • Some may get a transitory prodromal non-
itchy rash, headache, visual disturbance or
anxiety
• • Face, hands, arms, legs, genitals, digestive
tract and airway may be affected; swellings
spread slowly
• • Abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting,
difficulty breathing
• • Urticaria does not usually occur
50. Treatment
• There isn’t much treatment out there…but
AIRWAY! AIRWAY! AIRWAY! HAVE A LOW
THRESHOLD FOR INTUBATION USE CLINICAL
EXAMINATION
51. Investigations
• There are no point-of-care tests!
• Treat what you see and from the patient’s history. Bedside
Fiberoptic laryngoscopy
• Laboratory - Identify underlying cause (help with long
term management): C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) assays
(low/ abnormal in HAE) C4 levels (low in HAE attacks,
usually normal between attacks) serial tryptase levels (may
be elevated in anaphylaxis/ mast cell-mediated
angioedema)
• Imaging CT abdomen may show evidence of angioedema in
patients presenting with abdominal pain:
• CT neck primarily has a role in excluding conditions that
may mimic angioedema (e.g. soft tissue infection)
52.
53. Treatment
• • H1 antihistamine e.g IV chlorpheniramine
10 mg or diphenhydramine 25–50 mg
• • Limited evidence for adding in H2 blocker
e.g ranitidine IV 50mg
• • Intravenous corticosteroids e.g. hydro-
cortisone 200 mg or methylprednisolone 50–
100 mg
• • Adrenaline IM 1:1000
54. • Disposition Consider admission to hospital in the
following situations (Winters et al, 2013):
• • previous history of angioedema
• • tongue edema
• • pharyngeal edema (palate, uvula)
• • laryngeal edema / upper airway oedema
• • lack of improvement during stay in ED Patients
with isolated angioedema of the face or lips and
be usually be observed in ED for 4 to 8 hours for
progression of symptoms, then discharged
