Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive

PRO-AGGRESSIVE

Triggers that push toward the aggressive track
  • Composite eligibility for autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) consolidation: ECOG ≤2 AND adequate cardiac function (LVEF ≥50%, no NYHA III-IV) AND adequate pulmonary function (DLCO ≥50% or absent severe COPD/fibrosis) AND adequate hepatic function (bilirubin ≤2× ULN, AST/ALT ≤3× ULN) AND adequate renal function (CrCl ≥30 mL/min) AND age <70 (lymphoma/MM standard) or <65 (AML standard) AND no active uncontrolled infection AND no second active malignancy. Used to gate ASCT consolidation in MM 1L (CASSIOPEIA, GRIFFIN), DLBCL/PTCL salvage (CORAL, ECHELON-2 follow-up), Hodgkin salvage (post-second-line PR/CR), AML CR1 in non-favorable risk if alloHCT donor unavailable. RF-ASCT-ELIGIBLE-COMPOSITE

CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE

Hard contraindications to escalation
  • Alemtuzumab causes profound, prolonged CD4+ T-cell depletion (median recovery 9-12 months). Active uncontrolled infection at baseline becomes life-threatening once cellular immunity collapses. HIV-positive status is itself an absolute contraindication — alemtuzumab on top of HIV immunosuppression has unacceptable infectious mortality. CI-ACTIVE-INFECTION-FOR-ALEMTUZUMAB
  • Pre-treatment LVEF <50% is an absolute contraindication to anthracycline-containing regimens (R-CHOP, Pola-R-CHP, ABVD, BV-AVD, etc.). Cardiotoxicity from doxorubicin is dose-cumulative and often irreversible; starting with already-impaired function risks acute decompensation.CI-LVEF-LOW-FOR-ANTHRACYCLINE

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Standard plan (IND-DLBCL-2L-POLA-R-BENDAMUSTINE)
  • Do NOT prescribe with baseline Grade ≥2 peripheral neuropathy — MMAE toxicity will progress to permanent disability.
  • Do NOT start without HBV screening + entecavir prophylaxis if HBsAg+ or anti-HBc+ — anti-CD20 reactivation.
  • Do NOT prescribe when CrCl <30 — bendamustine renal-cleared metabolites are dangerous; consider Pola-R without bendamustine.
  • Do NOT skip GCSF prophylaxis — combined myelosuppression of bendamustine + polatuzumab.
  • Do NOT prescribe with concomitant strong CYP3A4 inhibitor without monitoring — increased MMAE toxicity.
  • Do NOT confirm the plan without a verified funding pathway for polatuzumab.
  • Do NOT use in transplant-eligible patients as 2L — first salvage R-DHAP/R-ICE → autoSCT.
Aggressive plan (IND-DLBCL-2L-LISOCEL)
  • Do NOT prescribe prophylactic systemic corticosteroids — suppresses CAR-T expansion + reduces efficacy.
  • Do NOT initiate without on-site tocilizumab (minimum 2 doses) BEFORE infusion — fatal CRS possible.
  • Do NOT do this at a center without CAR-T accreditation (FACT/JACIE/REMS) — toxicity management requires a specialized team + ICU access.
  • НЕ пропускати baseline brain MRI — pre-existing CNS disease (CNS-2/3) була exclusion в TRANSFORM; ризик fatal ICANS значно вищий.
  • Do NOT ignore interim bridging chemotherapy (3-4 week manufacturing window) — disease progression in this window reduces efficacy.
  • Do NOT prescribe in active uncontrolled infection — lymphodepletion + CRS = high mortality.
  • Do NOT forget IVIG for long-term hypogammaglobulinemia (IgG <400 + recurrent infections) — B-cell aplasia can persist >12 months.
  • НЕ застосовувати у транспланта-непридатних пацієнтів за цим показанням — TRANSFORM enrolment вимагав transplant-intent; для transplant-ineligible 2L див. PILOT cohort (окрема Indication, future).
