    FIGURE 1.

    Complete metabolic response after CXCR4-directed RLT as conditioning regimen before allogeneic HSCT (patient 4). Maximum-intensity projections and transaxial CXCR4-directed 68Ga-pentixafor PET/CT before (left) and 4 mo after (right) CXCR4-directed RLT using 90Y-pentixather. Before therapy, patient demonstrated multiple CXCR4-positive sites of disease, including nodal, peritoneal, and osseous manifestations, whereas posttherapy imaging revealed complete response. Timeline of treatment is also displayed.

    FIGURE 2.

    Time course of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (in U/L) as indicator of early response to CXCR4-directed RLT. Dotted lines indicate RLT, start of conditioning therapy (CON), start of high-dose therapy (HDT), or start of HSCT. Patient 1 (A) showed rapid and continuous decline in LDH after CXCR4-RLT. Before next therapeutic steps, patient 2 (B) and patient 4 (D) exhibited remarkable increase in LDH, followed by massive decline, supporting notion of immediate response to CXCR4-directed RLT in those 3 patients. Patient 3 (C), however, demonstrated modest LDH fluctuations between RLT and CON.
