‌NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines: B-Cell Lymphomas (2024.V2)

Follicular Lymphoma (FL)

  • Third-Line and Beyond Therapy:
    • T-cell engager bispecific antibodies:‌ Added ‌epcoritamab-bysp‌ as a ‌Category 2A‌ preferred recommendation.
    • CAR-T cell therapy:‌ Added ‌lisocabtagene maraleucel‌ (CD19-targeted) as a ‌Category 2A‌ preferred recommendation.

Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL)

  • Second-Line and Beyond Therapy (Including Elderly/Frail Patients):
    • Non-covalent BTK inhibitors:‌ Added ‌pirtobrutinib‌ (post-covalent BTK inhibitor therapy) as a ‌Category 2A‌ preferred recommendation.

Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)

  1. Mant-1 Footnote C:
    • Revised from “IHC-detected TP53 is not validated as a surrogate for TP53 mutation status or del(17p)” to “TP53 sequencing is preferred; however, in frontline therapy, IHC-detected TP53 may serve as a surrogate marker but should be confirmed by sequencing.”
  2. Mant-3 (Classic TP53 Mutations):
    • Added ‌zanubrutinib/obinutuzumab/venetoclax‌ (applicable to all patients) as a ‌Category 2A‌ recommendation.

Burkitt Lymphoma (BL)

Induction Therapy

  1. Age <60 Years, Low-Risk:
    • DA-EPOCH + Rituximab:
      • Removed “at least 3 cycles, plus 1 additional cycle post-CR (includes intrathecal methotrexate)”.
      • Added:
        • CR after 2 cycles:‌ Administer ‌1 additional cycle of DA-EPOCH-R‌ (total 3 cycles).
        • PR after 2 cycles:‌ Add ‌intrathecal methotrexate‌ and ‌4 additional cycles of DA-EPOCH-R‌ (total 6 cycles).
      • Applies similarly to ‌age ≥60 years, low-risk‌ patients.
  2. Age <60 Years, High-Risk:
    • Revised DA-EPOCH + Rituximab:
      • Dose-adjusted EPOCH‌ (etoposide + prednisone + vincristine + cyclophosphamide + doxorubicin) + rituximab for ‌6 cycles‌ + ‌intrathecal methotrexate‌ (for high-risk patients with baseline CNS involvement intolerant to intensive therapy).
  3. Age ≥60 Years, High-Risk:
    • DA-EPOCH + Rituximab:‌ Modified to include ‌6 cycles of intrathecal methotrexate‌.

Second-Line Therapy

  • DA-EPOCH + Rituximab:‌ Revised to ‌dose-adjusted EPOCH‌ (as above) + rituximab (if not previously administered) for ‌at least 3 cycles, plus 1 cycle post-CR‌ (includes intrathecal methotrexate).
    • Low-risk patients:
      • CR after 2 cycles: ‌1 additional cycle‌ (total 3 cycles).
      • PR after 2 cycles: Add ‌intrathecal methotrexate‌ and ‌4 additional cycles‌ (total 6 cycles).
    • High-risk patients:‌ ‌6 cycles of intrathecal methotrexate‌.
    • For ‌symptomatic CNS involvement‌, incorporate ‌CNS-penetrant agents‌ into the initial regimen.
