RESUMO

A man aged 69 years presented with acute right flank pain secondary to a hemorrhagic large adrenal tumor. En bloc resection was performed to repair the inferior vena cava. Immunoperoxidase levels in the tumor were positive for factor VIII and CD31 and negative for S100, protein Melan-A, CD34, synaptophysin, chromogranin, desmin, muscle specific actin, ETFA (EMA), KRT20 (CK20), CDX2, TTF1, LNPEP (PLAP), inhibin, ?-fetoprotein, CD30, hepatocyte paraffin, and aberrant expression of cytokeratin 7 and pankeratin. The pathological diagnosis was consistent with adrenal angiosarcoma. Obtaining appropriate immunoperoxidase stains and multidisciplinary evaluation helped make the diagnosis of this rare adrenal tumor and determine its management. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and completed 4 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin/ifosfamide and adequately tolerated the treatment. However, positive surgical margins were found, so he was referred to radiation oncology specialists for possible adjuvant radiotherapy to the surgical bed. Weeks after the first initiation of therapy, the patient presented to the emergency department complaining of shortness of breath, fatigue, and generalized weakness for 3 days. He was admitted and found to have new-onset anemia and a new-onset, large, right pleural effusion. Thoracentesis performed showed sanguinolent fluid that, after microscopic evaluation, was suggestive of recurrent malignancy. Thoracic aortography performed with subselective catheterization to several arteries (right bronchial, right phrenic, and right renal arteries) did not show any active bleeding. However, the right inferior intercostal and adrenal arteries were presumed to be the reason for the bleeding event, so they were embolized until stasis. The patient remained hemodynamically unstable but eventually experienced multiorgan failure. In spite of aggressive measures, he died 10 days after admission to the hospital.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy is transforming the care of patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Unfortunately, despite being a disease of older adults these patients remain under-represented in most pivotal clinical trials. We performed a systematic review and proportion meta-analysis of prospective clinical trials and observational studies of anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy in patients with MM with the aim to determine the efficacy and safety of this therapy in older adults (≥65 years). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched the Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), Ovid, Embase, CENTRAL, and CINAHL databases through September 9, 2022 and abstracts from the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting 2022. Primary outcome measures included overall response rate (ORR), rates of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and immune cell-effector-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). study was registered with PROSPERO (study number: CRD42022334287). RESULTS: After screening 2218 references, 14 studies were included for data extraction, with a total of 558 patients, 26.2% (n = 146) of whom were older adults. The pooled ORR amongst this population was 93%, which was comparable to the ORR of 86% amongst younger patients. In older adults, the rates of CRS (any grade) and grade ≥ 3 were 95% and 21%, respectively. For younger patients, the pooled rate of CRS (any grade) and grade ≥ 3 CRS was 91% and 20%, respectively. The rate of ICANS (any grade) in older adults was 15%, which was higher than that observed in those <65 years. CONCLUSION: Older adults experience comparable outcomes to younger patients with anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy, albeit with numerically higher rates of neurotoxicity.

RESUMO

Administration of chimeric-antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy is complex and associated with unique toxicities. Identifying patients at risk for inferior outcomes is important for individualized management. The Glasgow-prognostic score (GPS) is a simple score shown to be highly prognostic of outcomes in the setting of traditional chemotherapy or checkpoint inhibitor administration. We sought to evaluate the value of the GPS to predict outcomes of patients with relapse refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) receiving anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy. We included all patients treated with commercial CAR-T therapy for RRMM between 5/1/2021 and 2/1/2023 at the Moffitt Cancer Center. The GPS (CRP >1 mg/dL, 1 point; albumin <3.5, 1 point) was calculated for all patients at lymphodepletion (day -6) and patients were grouped as high-risk GPS (score = 2) or low-risk GPS (0 or 1). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) at day 100. A total of 139 pts were included, with a median follow-up of 6.7 months (95% CI, 6.2 to 8.9 months). Pts were treated with either idecabtagene vicleucel (83%) or ciltacabtagene autoleucel (17%). In total, 14% were classified with high-risk GPS, with significantly increased risk for grade 3 cytokine release syndrome (P = .003) and ICANS of any grade (P < .001). Patients in the high-risk GPS group had significantly lower day-100 OS (68.4% versus 97.3%, P < .001), OS at 6 months (56% versus 91.8% P = .0019) and PFS at 6 months (38.3% versus 72.3%, P = .03). The association of GPS with day-100 OS remained significant in a multivariable model. In conclusion, the GPS identifies a group of high-risk patients with RRMM receiving CAR-T therapy who experience increased rates of immune-mediated toxicity and are at higher risk for early mortality.

RESUMO

Idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) was the first FDA-approved chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients. This was the first study to evaluate patient-reported outcomes (PROs) among RRMM patients receiving ide-cel in standard of care (SOC). We prospectively assessed health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and symptoms from pre-infusion (baseline) through day (D)90 post-infusion. Baseline PRO associations with patient characteristics, mean PRO changes, and time to stable change were evaluated with t-tests, linear mixed-effects models, and Kaplan-Meier analyses, respectively. Within-person change scores and minimally important difference thresholds determined clinical and meaningful significance. Participants (n = 42) were a median of 66 years old (range: 43-81). At baseline, extramedullary disease was associated with worse physical well-being (p = 0.008), global pain (p < 0.001), performance status (p = 0.002), and overall symptom burden (p < 0.001). Fatigue (p < 0.001) and functional well-being (p = 0.003) worsened by D7 before returning to baseline levels. Overall HRQOL (p = 0.008) and physical well-being (p < 0.001) improved by D60. Most participants reported PRO improvement (10-57%) or maintenance (23-69%) by D90. The median time it took to stabile deterioration in functional well-being was 14 days. The median time it took to stabile improvement in physical and emotional well-being was 60 days. Overall, RRMM patients reported improvements or maintenance of HRQOL and symptom burden after SOC ide-cel.

RESUMO

Idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) is a type of B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeting chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) approved for the treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Currently, the incidence of cardiac events associated with ide-cel remains unclear. This was a retrospective single-center observational study of patients treated with ide-cel for RRMM. We included all consecutive patients who received standard-of-care ide-cel treatment at least 1-month follow-up. Baseline clinical risk factors, safety profile, and responses were examined based on the development of a cardiac event. A total of 78 patients were treated with ide-cel, and 11 patients (14.1%) developed cardiac events: heart failure (5.1%), atrial fibrillation (10.3%), nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (3.8%), and cardiovascular death (1.3%). Only 11 of the 78 patients had repeat echocardiogram. Baseline risk factors associated with the development of cardiac events included being female sex and having poor performance status, λ light-chain disease, and advanced Revised International Staging System stage. Baseline cardiac characteristics were not associated with cardiac events. During index hospitalization after CAR-T, higher-grade (≥grade 2) cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune cell-associated neurologic syndrome were associated with cardiac events. In multivariable analyses, the hazard ratio for the association of the presence of cardiac events with overall survival (OS) was 2.66 and progression-free survival (PFS) was 1.98. Ide-cel CAR-T for RRMM was associated with similar cardiac events as other types of CAR-T. Worse baseline performance status and higher-grade CRS and neurotoxicity were associated with cardiac events after BCMA-directed CAR-T-cell therapy. Our results suggest that the presence of cardiac events may confer worse PFS or OS; although because of the small sample size, the power to detect an association was limited.

RESUMO

Idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) was FDA-approved in March 2021 for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma after 4 lines of therapy. On the KarMMa trial, grade ≥ 3 cytopenias and infections were common. We sought to characterize cytopenias and infections within 100 days after ide-cel in the standard-of-care (SOC) setting. This multi-center retrospective study included 52 patients who received SOC ide-cel; 47 reached day-90 follow-up. Data were censored at day 100. Grade ≥ 3 cytopenia was present among 65% of patients at day 30 and 40% of patients at day 90. Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) was administered to 88%, packed red blood cell transfusions to 63%, platelet transfusions to 42%, thrombopoietin (TPO) agonists to 21%, intravenous immunoglobulin to 13%, and CD34+ stem cell boosts to 8%. At day 100, 19% and 13% of patients had ongoing use of TPO agonists and G-CSF, respectively. Infections occurred in 54% of patients and were grade ≥ 3 in 23%. Earlier infections in the first 30 days were typically bacterial (68%) and severe (50%). Later infections between days 31 and 100 were 50% bacterial and 42% viral; only 13% were grade ≥ 3. On univariate analysis, high pre-CAR-T marrow myeloma burden (≥ 50%), circulating plasma cells at pre-lymphodepletion (LD), and grade ≥ 3 anemia at pre-LD were associated with grade ≥ 3 cytopenia at both days 30 and 90. Longer time from last bridging treatment to LD was the only significant risk factor for infection.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is a curable malignancy, with a complete remission rate of approximately 90%. However, relapse remains a significant cause of mortality. Prognostic factors are useful in guiding therapy. This is a large, single-institution study defining the clinicopathologic features, prognostic factors, and treatment outcomes of patients with cHL. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We reviewed 727 patients with cHL treated at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute from 1990 to 2017. Data on demographics, laboratory studies, and disease statuses were collected from the institutional database and electronic medical records. Statistical analyses, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS: The median age was 35 years. Fifty-four percent of patients were men; 45.6% had advanced stage disease; 82% were treated with ABVD (doxorubicin hydrochloride [adriamycin], bleomycin sulfate, vincristine, and dacarbazine) as frontline therapy; and 70% achieved complete response. The median PFS after first-line treatment was 16.8 years. The median OS of patients with early stage and advanced stage cHL was 19 and 12.9 years, respectively. Poor prognostic factors for OS included older age, advanced stage disease, presence of B symptoms, and a higher International Prognostic Score. CONCLUSION: Despite high cure rates, cHL accounted for the cause of death in 47% of patients who died during follow-up. Prognostic factors, such as age, stage at diagnosis, International Prognostic Score, and B symptoms, are helpful to guide treatment. Outcomes observed in this study are comparable with those reported in previously published studies.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Venetoclax-based therapy is a standard-of-care option in first-line and relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Patient management following venetoclax discontinuation remains nonstandard and poorly understood. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: To address this, we conducted a large international study to identify a cohort of 326 patients who discontinued venetoclax and have been subsequently treated. Coprimary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR) and progression-free survival for the post-venetoclax treatments stratified by treatment type [Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi), PI3K inhibitor (PI3Ki), and cellular therapies]. RESULTS: We identified patients with CLL who discontinued venetoclax in the first-line (4%) and relapsed/refractory settings (96%). Patients received a median of three therapies prior to venetoclax; 40% were BTKi naïve (n = 130), and 81% were idelalisib naïve (n = 263). ORR to BTKi was 84% (n = 44) in BTKi-naïve patients versus 54% (n = 30) in BTKi-exposed patients. We demonstrate therapy selection following venetoclax requires prior novel agent exposure consideration and discontinuation reasons. CONCLUSIONS: For BTKi-naïve patients, selection of covalently binding BTKis results in high ORR and durable remissions. For BTKi-exposed patients, covalent BTK inhibition is not effective in the setting of BTKi resistance. PI3Kis following venetoclax do not appear to result in durable remissions. We conclude that BTKi in naïve or previously responsive patients and cellular therapies following venetoclax may be the most effective strategies.See related commentary by Rogers, p. 3501.
