ICML 2025 | The International Prospective T-Cell Project 2.0: radiomics and total metabolic tumor volume

Tetiana Skrypets, MD, PhD, IRCCS Giovanni Paolo II, Bari, Italy, discusses insights from the International Prospective T-Cell Project 2.0 and the emerging data. Dr Skrypets highlights ongoing efforts to investigate radiomic features that may inform PET-guided treatment strategies. She also presents findings from a study assessing total metabolic tumor volume. This interview took place during the 18th International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma (18-ICML) in Lugano, Switzerland.

So the International Prospective T-cell project 2.0, this is a second version of the International T-cell project 1.0. This project was started in 2018 and this is a real-world collection of newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphomas. So we just try to collect data, now we have more than 120 participating institutes all over the world in all five continents. And in Lugano Congress our abstract was selected for oral presentation on PET/CT features radiomics in peripheral T-cell lymphomas...

So the International Prospective T-cell project 2.0, this is a second version of the International T-cell project 1.0. This project was started in 2018 and this is a real-world collection of newly diagnosed peripheral T-cell lymphomas. So we just try to collect data, now we have more than 120 participating institutes all over the world in all five continents. And in Lugano Congress our abstract was selected for oral presentation on PET/CT features radiomics in peripheral T-cell lymphomas. You know that almost all peripheral T-cell lymphomas are FDG-avid and we just try to understand how radiomic features can influence to create maybe some kind of PET-guided treatment strategies for patients with peripheral T-cell lymphomas. Also to understand if we will be able with this PET-guided strategy to intensify treatment or to proceed with consolidation with autologous stem cell transplant in the first line. And also there are quite a few data but it’s already exist that was published two years ago by a French group and we decided just to make some kind of validation in our cohort of patients in total metabolic tumor volume in peripheral T-cell lymphomas for the patients from Prospective T-cell project 2.0. We took a different cutoff point for evaluating total metabolic tumor volume and to see how it will work on the 104 patients we selected for the analysis from T-cell project 2.0 and we provided different analysis for cutoff points like 180, 200, and 230 which we took from already existed historical data and actually 200 and 880 from another study but not for peripheral T-cell lymphoma for follicular lymphomas, just to understand how it will work on other pathologies for different lymphoma subtypes. And in our patient’s cohort, the cutoff of tumor metabolic volume 200 using SUV 41% like a threshold as a parameter of PET was more predictive in terms of overall survival and progression-free survival compared to the threshold of SUV 4, so patients who had tumor metabolic volume 41% less than 200 had better overall survival rates and progression-free survival rates compared to those who had more than 200 ml as a parameter of total metabolic tumor volume of SUV 41%.
