Chromosomal translocations in lymphoma and MYC • 40% of B cell lymphomas have recurrent reciprocal translocations • May be subtype specific • Often oncogene plus Ig loci enhancer • t(8;14)(q24;q32) – lymphoma initiating in BL • MYC breakpoints may be secondary events in other lymphomas • At diagnosis or at progression • In MYC+ DLBCL and DH lymphoma, often non Ig-MYC breakpoints • “Double hit”

Chromosomal breakpoints in DLBCL Aukema et al, Blood 2011
What is a “double hit” lymphoma? • Recurrent breakpoints activating multiple oncogenes, one being MYC • BCL2+/MYC+ most common • BCL6, CCND1 and BCL3 may also occur • Can also have “triple hit”
B cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between diffuse large B cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma • WHO 2008 classification • 35-50% of cases have a MYC translocation, 15% have a BCL2 translocation • Increasing incidence with age • Many are DH
Immunophenotype of “double hit” lymphoma • CD10+, GCB phenotype • Lack MUM1/IRF4 • BCL2 + in 95% of cases • High proliferative index • median 90% Ki67+ Aukema et al, Blood 2011

CHOP/CHOEP/R-CHOP and MYC rearranged DLBCL EFS OS Klapper et al, Leukemia 2008 Savage et al, Blood 2009
BCL-2 and MYC rearranged “double hit” lymphomas EFS 55 cases (BCCA) out of 1260 57% C-MYC + at dx 43% at transformation OS Johnson et al, Blood 2009
R-CHOP and MYC rearranged DLBCL 35 (14%) with MYC rearrangements 19 also had t(14;18) 3 also had BCL6 7 “triple hit” Therefore most “MYC+” are “double” or “triple” hit EFS OS Barrans et al, JCO 2010
R-CHOP and MYC rearranged DLBCLInteraction with IPI and age EFS OS Barrans et al, JCO 2010
C-MYC in relapsed DLBCL • BioCoral study – relapsed DLBCL • Rearrangements noted • BCL2 31% • BCL6 18% • C-MYC 13% • C-MYC worse PFS and OS Thieblemont et al, JCO 2011
C-MYC and DH/TH DLBCL and treatment options • R-CHOP (nothing to date shown to be better) • AutoSCT consolidation • Significant number don’t get to SCT • Intensive BL type regimens • R-EPOCH • Less favorable outcome than other DLBCL with R-CHOP • Risk seems to be beyond age, IPI • Less favorable at progression • Rearrangements noted • BCL2 31% • BCL6 18% • C-MYC 13% • C-MYC worse PFS and OS
CODOX-M/IVAC and aggressive B cell lymphoma EFS B cell lymphoma, Ki67 >95% Mixture of BL and DLBCL Low and high risk by IPI All 4 DH patients died within 5 mo OS Mead et al, Blood 2008
DA-R-EPOCH and MYC+ DLBCL 9 MYC+ DLBCL 99 MYC- DLBCL Similar risk by IPI High RR/PFS in BL EFS OS Dunleavy et al, Lugano 2011
Phase II study of dose adjusted R-EPOCH in previously untreated BL and c-MYC + DLBCL • Inclusion criteria • Burkitt lymphoma or B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt Lymphoma • c-MYC + DLBCL • c-MYC+ plasmablastic lymphoma NCT01092182
Approach to “variant” DLBCL • GCB vs non-GCB • R-CHOP is standard • Various randomized trials underway • MYC+, DH, TH • Consider FISH for MYC, BCL2, BCL6 • Less favorable with R-CHOP • Unclear if other approaches better • Prospective studies underway • Analysis needs incorporation in clinical trials • Intensive BL type regimens • R-EPOCH • Less favorable outcome than other DLBCL with R-CHOP • Risk seems to be beyond age, IPI • Less favorable at progression • Rearrangements noted • BCL2 31% • BCL6 18% • C-MYC 13% • C-MYC worse PFS and OS
