Through a bedside-to-bench-and-back approach, our translational lab, tightly integrated with the clinical activity of the Lymphoid Malignancies and Cancer Therapeutics Unit of the hospital, investigates the cellular mechanisms involved in relapsed and refractory lymphoma with the aim of better predicting disease evolution and improving treatments response.
Main research areas
Signatures of response to immunotherapy in Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma
Novel immunotherapies, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell and bispecific antibodies, became available over the past five years for relapsed and refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma. On average, 50% of patients with relapsed and refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma fail to respond to these novel forms of immunotherapies, thus representing an unmet medical need. To address these issues, we started a translational project based on a personalized multi-omics approach to identify biomarkers for disease response and resistance mechanisms to immunotherapy.
Liquid biopsy for disease outcome prediction and monitoring by circulating tumor DNA
Approaches for staging and response evaluation in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) and Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) rely upon serial imaging assessments, using positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) scans. However, conventional imaging has suboptimal positive and negative predictive values. The use of cell-free fragments of tumor DNA that are shed into the bloodstream from tumor cells and can be easily and repeatedly obtained is emerging as an easy-to-obtain material assessing somatic cancer mutations. We hypothesize that high-throughput sequencing of circulating tumor (ct)DNA to analyze mutational heterogeneity, as well as genomic evolution (mutNGS), may represent an attractive tool to predict disease outcome, monitor disease response and minimal residual disease, identify molecular determinants of chemorefractory patients and track clonal evolution-driven resistance to checkpoint inhibitors.
