RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) demonstrated significant efficacy with a manageable safety profile as third-line or later treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) in the TRANSCEND NHL 001 study. Primary end points were adverse events (AEs), dose-limiting toxicities, and objective response rate (ORR) per independent review committee. Key secondary end points were complete response (CR) rate, duration of response (DOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). After 2-year follow-up, patients could enroll in a separate study assessing long-term (≤15 years) safety and OS. Liso-cel-treated patients (N = 270) had a median age of 63 years (range, 18-86 years) and a median of 3 prior lines (range, 1-8) of systemic therapy, and 181 of them (67%) had chemotherapy-refractory LBCL. Median follow-up was 19.9 months. In efficacy-evaluable patients (N = 257), the ORR was 73% and CR rate was 53%. The median (95% confidence interval) DOR, PFS, and OS were 23.1 (8.6 to not reached), 6.8 (3.3-12.7), and 27.3 months (16.2-45.6), respectively. Estimated 2-year DOR, PFS, and OS rates were 49.5%, 40.6%, and 50.5%, respectively. In the 90-day treatment-emergent period (N = 270), grade 3 to 4 cytokine release syndrome and neurological events occurred in 2% and 10% of patients, respectively. The most common grade ≥3 AEs in treatment-emergent and posttreatment-emergent periods, respectively, were neutropenia (60% and 7%) and anemia (37% and 6%). Liso-cel demonstrated durable remissions and a manageable safety profile with no new safety signals during the 2-year follow-up in patients with R/R LBCL. These trials were registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT02631044 and #NCT03435796.

Cell based therapies including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are promising for treating leukemias and solid cancers. At the same time, there is interest in enhancing the functionality of these cells via surface decoration with nanoparticles (backpacking). Magnetic nanoparticle cell labeling is of particular interest due to opportunities for magnetic separation, in vivo manipulation, drug delivery and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). While modification of T cells with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) was explored before, we questioned whether MNPs are compatible with CAR-T cells when introduced during the manufacturing process. We chose highly aminated 120 nm crosslinked iron oxide nanoworms (CLIO NWs, ~36,000 amines per NW) that could efficiently label different adherent cell lines and we used CD123 CAR-T cells as the labeling model. The CD123 CAR-T cells were produced in the presence of CLIO NWs, CLIO NWs plus protamine sulfate (PS), or PS only. The transduction efficiency of lentiviral CD123 CAR with only NWs was ~23% lower than NW+PS and PS groups (~33% and 35%, respectively). The cell viability from these three transduction conditions was not reduced within CAR-T cell groups, though lower compared to non-transduced T cells (mock T). Use of CLIO NWs instead of, or together with cationic protamine sulfate for enhancement of lentiviral transduction resulted in comparable levels of CAR expression and viability but decreased the proportion of CD8+ cells and increased the proportion of CD4+ cells. CD123 CAR-T transduced in the presence of CLIO NWs, CLIO NWs plus PS, or PS only, showed similar level of cytotoxicity against leukemic cell lines. Furthermore, fluorescence microscopy imaging demonstrated that CD123 CAR-T cells labeled with CLIO NW formed rosettes with CD123+ leukemic cells as the non-labeled CAR-T cells, indicating that the CAR-T targeting to tumor cells has maintained after CLIO NW labeling. The in vivo trafficking of the NW labeled CAR-T cells showed the accumulation of CAR-T labeled with NWs primarily in the bone marrow and spleen. CAR-T cells can be magnetically labeled during their production while maintaining functionality using the positively charged iron oxide NWs, which enable the in vivo biodistribution and tracking of CAR-T cells.
RESUMO
Umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation is a potentially curative treatment for patients with refractory severe aplastic anaemia (SAA), but has historically been associated with delayed engraftment and high graft failure and mortality rates. We conducted a prospective phase 2 trial to assess outcome of an allogeneic transplant regimen that co-infused a single UCB unit with CD34+ -selected cells from a haploidentical relative. Among 29 SAA patients [including 10 evolved to myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)] who underwent the haplo cord transplantation (median age 20 years), 97% had neutrophil recovery (median 10 days), and 93% had platelet recovery (median 32 days). Early myeloid engraftment was from the haplo donor and was gradually replaced by durable engraftment from UCB in most patients. The cumulative incidences of grade II-IV acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were 21% and 41%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 7·5 years, overall survival was 83% and GVHD/relapse-free survival was 69%. Patient- and transplant-related factors had no impact on engraftment and survival although transplants with haplo-versus-cord killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) ligand incompatibility had delayed cord engraftment. Our study shows haplo cord transplantation is associated with excellent engraftment and long-term outcome, providing an alternative option for patients with refractory SAA and hypoplastic MDS who lack human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-matched donors.

BACKGROUND: Lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) is an autologous, CD19-directed, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell product. We aimed to assess the activity and safety of liso-cel in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphomas. METHODS: We did a seamless design study at 14 cancer centres in the USA. We enrolled adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphomas. Eligible histological subgroups included diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, high-grade B-cell lymphoma with rearrangements of MYC and either BCL2, BCL6, or both (double-hit or triple-hit lymphoma), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma transformed from any indolent lymphoma, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, and follicular lymphoma grade 3B. Patients were assigned to one of three target dose levels of liso-cel as they were sequentially tested in the trial (50â×â106 CAR+ T cells [one or two doses], 100â×â106 CAR+ T cells, and 150â×â106 CAR+ T cells), which were administered as a sequential infusion of two components (CD8+ and CD4+ CAR+ T cells) at equal target doses. Primary endpoints were adverse events, dose-limiting toxicities, and the objective response rate (assessed per Lugano criteria); endpoints were assessed by an independent review committee in the efficacy-evaluable set (comprising all patients who had confirmed PET-positive disease and received at least one dose of liso-cel). This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02631044. FINDINGS: Between Jan 11, 2016, and July 5, 2019, 344 patients underwent leukapheresis for manufacture of CAR+ T cells (liso-cel), of whom 269 patients received at least one dose of liso-cel. Patients had received a median of three (range 1-8) previous lines of systemic treatment, with 260 (97%) patients having had at least two lines. 112 (42%) patients were aged 65 years or older, 181 (67%) had chemotherapy-refractory disease, and seven (3%) had secondary CNS involvement. Median follow-up for overall survival for all 344 patients who had leukapheresis was 18·8 months (95% CI 15·0-19·3). Overall safety and activity of liso-cel did not differ by dose level. The recommended target dose was 100â×â106 CAR+ T cells (50â×â106 CD8+ and 50â×â106 CD4+ CAR+ T cells). Of 256 patients included in the efficacy-evaluable set, an objective response was achieved by 186 (73%, 95% CI 66·8-78·0) patients and a complete response by 136 (53%, 46·8-59·4). The most common grade 3 or worse adverse events were neutropenia in 161 (60%) patients, anaemia in 101 (37%), and thrombocytopenia in 72 (27%). Cytokine release syndrome and neurological events occurred in 113 (42%) and 80 (30%) patients, respectively; grade 3 or worse cytokine release syndrome and neurological events occurred in six (2%) and 27 (10%) patients, respectively. Nine (6%) patients had a dose-limiting toxicity, including one patient who died from diffuse alveolar damage following a dose of 50â×â106 CAR+ T cells. INTERPRETATION: Use of liso-cel resulted in a high objective response rate, with a low incidence of grade 3 or worse cytokine release syndrome and neurological events in patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphomas, including those with diverse histological subtypes and high-risk features. Liso-cel is under further evaluation at first relapse in large B-cell lymphomas and as a treatment for other relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies.

Heavily transfused patients frequently develop human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allo-immunization resulting in platelet transfusion refractoriness and a high risk for life-threatening thrombocytopenia. Data suggest complement activation leading to the destruction of platelets bound by HLA allo-antibodies may play a pathophysiologic role in platelet refractoriness. Here we conducted a pilot trial to investigate the use of eculizumab, a monoclonal antibody that binds and inhibits C5 complement, to treat platelet transfusion refractoriness in allo-immunized patients with severe thrombocytopenia. A single eculizumab infusion was administered to 10 eligible patients, with four (40%) patients overcoming platelet refractories assessed measuring the corrected platelet count increment (CCI) 10-60 min and 18-24 h post transfusion. Responding patients had a reduction in the requirement for subsequent platelet transfusions and had higher post-transfusion platelet increments for 14 days following eculizumab administration. Remarkably, three of the four responders met CCI criteria for response despite receiving HLA-incompatible platelets. Our results suggest that eculizumab has the ability to overcome platelet transfusion refractoriness in patients with broad HLA allo-immunization. This study establishes proof of principle that complement inhibition can treat platelet transfusion refractoriness, laying the foundation for a large multicentre trial to assess the overall efficacy of this approach (ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT02298933).

Cell-based therapeutics are one of the most promising and exciting breakthroughs in modern medicine. Modification of the cell surface with ligands, biologics, drugs, and nanoparticles can further enhance the functionality. Previously, we described the synthesis of a dioctadecyl indocarbocyanine Cy3 analog (aminomethyl-DiI) for efficient and stable modification (painting) of mouse erythrocytes with small molecules, enzymes, and biologics. Here, we synthesized a near-infrared aminomethyl dioctadecyl derivative of Cy7 (aminomethyl-DOCy7) and systematically compared it to aminomethyl-DiI as an anchor for the modification of human erythrocytes, Jurkat cells, and primary T cells with immunoglobulin G. To enable copper-free click chemistry modification of cell membranes, we conjugated a methyltetrazine (MTz) group to the amino-indocyanine lipids via a polyethylene glycol (PEG) linker. DOCy7-PEG3400-MTz showed over 99% modification efficiency of human red blood cells (RBCs) at 25 µM. Reaction of trans-cyclooctene (TCO) modified immunoglobulin G (IgG) with DOCy7-PEG4-MTz-modified RBCs (2-step method) resulted in â¼80,000 IgG molecules per erythrocyte, whereas modification with a preconjugated DOCy7-PEG3400-IgG construct (1-step method) resulted in â¼20,000 IgG molecules per erythrocyte as detected by immuno dot-blot. The number of IgG/RBC was controlled by the concentration of IgG. The incubation of RBCs with DiI-PEG3400-MTz resulted in a similar number of IgG/RBC. Modification of the T-lymphocyte cell line Jurkat with IgG resulted in â¼1 × 106 IgG/cell with the 1-step and 2-step methods, and the efficiency was similar for DOCy7 and DiI constructs. Finally, we used DOCy7 and DiI constructs to demonstrate efficient modification of primary CD3+T cells from healthy donors. In conclusion, click indocarbocyanine conjugates represent a novel multicolor chemical biology tool kit for efficient surface modification of different cells types and can be used for potential imaging and drug delivery applications involving engineered cells.

The "Minnesota" reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) cord blood transplantation (CBT) regimen (standard RIC) of fludarabine (Flu) (200 mg/m2), cyclophosphamide (Cy) (50 mg/kg), and 200- or 300-cGy total body irradiation (TBI) is the most published RIC CBT regimen. Though well tolerated, high relapse rates remain a concern with this regimen. Intensification of conditioning may reduce relapse without increasing transplant-related mortality (TRM). We performed a retrospective cohort comparison of outcomes in adult patients who underwent first double-unit CBT with standard RIC as compared with the intensified regimen of Flu 150 mg/m2, Cy 50 mg/kg, thiotepa 10 mg/kg, and 400-cGy TBI (intensified RIC). Of the 99 patients studied, 47 received intensified RIC. Acute myelogenous leukemia was the major indication for transplant. The median age at transplant was 67 years (range, 24 to 74 years) and 54 years (range, 25 to 67 years) in standard RIC and intensified RIC, respectively. Median hematopoietic stem cell transplantation comorbidity index was 3 (range, 0 to 5) and 1 (range, 0 to 6) in the standard RIC and intensified RIC groups, respectively. Median follow-up among survivors was 22 months (range, 3.7 to 79 months) following standard RIC and 15 months (range, 2.8 to 36 months) following intensified RIC. The cumulative incidence (CI) of relapse was significantly lower following intensified RIC compared with standard RIC (P = .0013); this finding maintained significance in multivariate analysis (P = .045). TRM was comparable between the 2 groups (P = .99). Overall survival (OS) was significantly improved following intensified RIC as compared with standard RIC (P = .03). Median OS was 17 months following standard RIC versus not reached followed intensified RIC. The CI of grade II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was significantly higher in the intensified RIC cohort than the standard RIC-cohort (P = .007), while CI of grade III to IV acute GVHD, any chronic GVHD, and moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD was comparable in each cohort (P = .20, P = .21, and P = .61, respectively). This retrospective analysis shows an improvement in OS and decreased relapse without increase in TRM in patients receiving intensified RIC as compared with standard RIC. Our data suggest that consideration of thiotepa-based intensified RIC may improve outcomes in fit, older patients undergoing double-unit CBT.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is defined by the presence of Philadelphia chromosome (Ph), resulting from a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 [t(9;22] that gives rise to a BCR-ABL1 fusion gene. CML occurs in 3 different phases (chronic, accelerated, and blast phase) and is usually diagnosed in the chronic phase. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy is a highly effective first-line treatment option for all patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML (CP-CML). The selection TKI therapy should be based on the risk score, toxicity profile of TKI, patient's age, ability to tolerate therapy, and the presence of comorbid conditions. This manuscript discusses the recommendations outlined in the NCCN Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of patients with CP-CML.

Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation is curative for severe aplastic anaemia (SAA) unresponsive to immunosuppressive therapy. To reduce chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), which occurs more frequently after peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation compared to bone-marrow transplantation (BMT), and to prevent graft rejection, we developed a novel partial T-cell depleted transplant that infuses high numbers of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized CD34+ selected PBSCs combined with a BMT-equivalent dose of non-mobilized donor T-cells. Fifteen patients with refractory SAA received cyclophosphamide, anti-thymocyte globulin and fludarabine conditioning, and were transplanted with a median 8 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg and 2 × 107 non-mobilized CD3+ T-cells/kg from human leucocyte antigen-matched sibling donors. All achieved sustained engraftment with only two developing acute and two developing chronic GVHD. With a 3·5-year median follow-up, 86% of patients survived and were transfusion-independent. When compared to a retrospective cohort of 56 bone-marrow failure patients that received the identical transplant preparative regimen and GVHD prophylaxis with the exception that the allograft contained unmanipulated PBSCs, partial T-cell depleted transplant recipients had delayed donor T-cell chimerism and relative reduction of 75% in the incidence of acute grade II-IV GVHD (13% vs. 52%; P = 0·010) and of 82% in chronic GVHD (13% vs. 72%; P = 0·0004). In multivariate analysis, partial T-cell depleted transplants remained significantly associated with a reduced risk of GVHD. In conclusion, for patients with refractory SAA, this novel transplant strategy achieves excellent engraftment and survival when compared to unmanipulated PBSC transplants and dramatically reduces the incidence of both acute and chronic GVHD.

Hematopoietic stem cells can be mobilized from healthy donors using single-agent plerixafor without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor and, following allogeneic transplantation, can result in sustained donor-derived hematopoiesis. However, when a single dose of plerixafor is administered at a conventional 240 µg/kg dose, approximately one-third of donors will fail to mobilize the minimally acceptable dose of CD34+ cells needed for allogeneic transplantation. We conducted an open-label, randomized trial to assess the safety and activity of high-dose (480 µg/kg) plerixafor in CD34+ cell mobilization in healthy donors. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive either a high dose or a conventional dose (240 µg/kg) of plerixafor, given as a single subcutaneous injection, in a two-sequence, two-period, crossover design. Each treatment period was separated by a 2-week minimum washout period. The primary endpoint was the peak CD34+ count in the blood, with secondary endpoints of CD34+ cell area under the curve (AUC), CD34+ count at 24 hours, and time to peak CD34+ following the administration of plerixafor. We randomized 23 subjects to the two treatment sequences and 20 subjects received both doses of plerixafor. Peak CD34+ count in the blood was significantly increased (mean 32.2 versus 27.8 cells/µL, P=0.0009) and CD34+ cell AUC over 24 hours was significantly increased (mean 553 versus 446 h cells/µL, P<0.0001) following the administration of the 480 µg/kg dose of plerixafor compared with the 240 µg/kg dose. Remarkably, of seven subjects who mobilized poorly (peak CD34+ ≤20 cells/µL) after the 240 µg/kg dose of plerixafor, six achieved higher peak CD34+ cell numbers and all achieved higher CD34+ AUC over 24 hours after the 480 µg/kg dose. No grade 3 or worse drug-related adverse events were observed. This study establishes that high-dose plerixafor can be safely administered in healthy donors and mobilizes greater numbers of CD34+ cells than conventional-dose plerixafor, which may improve CD34+ graft yields and reduce the number of apheresis procedures needed to collect sufficient stem cells for allogeneic transplantation.

The NCCN Guidelines for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) provide recommendations for the management of chronic-phase and advanced-phase CML in adult patients. The median age of disease onset is 67 years. However, because CML occurs in all age groups, clinical care teams should be prepared to address issues relating to fertility and pregnancy with patients who are of reproductive age at the time of diagnosis. CML is relatively rare in children and there are no evidence-based recommendations for the management of CML in pediatric population. These NCCN Guidelines Insights discuss special considerations for the management of CML during pregnancy and for the management of CML in the pediatric population.

BACKGROUND: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has improved the historically poor outcomes for relapsed and refractory (R/R) large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (LBCL). However, nearly 60% of patients will either fail to respond or relapse after CAR T-cell therapy. Currently, PET/CT scans are used to assess response. Cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is released by tumor cells into the peripheral blood and can be measured for minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment. METHODS: In this retrospective, IRB approved pilot study, archived lymphoma tissue and ctDNA from peripheral blood samples on day 0, 14, 28, 56, 90, 180, and 365 after CAR T-cell infusion from 10 patients with R/R NHL were collected for next-generation sequencing (NGS) of clonal variable-diversity-joining (VDJ) rearrangements (Adaptive biotechnologies [Seattle, WA]). Response was assessed by PET/CT on days 90 and 365 and graded according to the Lugano 2014 criteria. The primary endpoint was to determine the feasibility of detecting ctDNA to monitor disease response after anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. The secondary endpoint was to compare the sensitivity/specificity of MRD assessment from ctDNA to PET/CT imaging. RESULTS: Nine out of 10 patients with a trackable sequence [median age 69 (range: 56-76); 55.6% male; median LDH 224], were included in this study. Each received tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) CAR T-cell therapy after median 2 prior treatments (range: 2-4). 7/9 patients had R/R diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and 2/9 had transformed follicular lymphoma. At a median follow up of 12.7 months (range: 1.5-30 months), 4 patients were alive. By day 90, 3 patients (33.3%) achieved a radiographic complete response (CR) whilst 6 patients (66.6%) had progressive disease (PD). Detectable MRD on day 14 or day 28 had 83% sensitivity and 100% specificity for radiographic progression at any time before 1 year. For patients with PD, the median (interquartile range) MRD at day 0, 14, and 28 were 17.31 (1.01, 96.84), 9.12 (0.30, 18.8), and 23.77 (8.01, 137.53) copies per milliliter (mL), respectively. For patients with detectable MRD at day 28, mOS and mPFS were 6.7 and 1.3 months, respectively. CONCLUSION: Monitoring MRD was a sensitive and specific method to detect poor response to tisa-cel. Additional studies evaluating MRD more frequently and with different products are warranted.
RESUMO
Up to 40% of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are refractory to or relapse after first-line therapy, highlighting the need for better treatments. Mosunetuzumab is a CD20 × CD3 bispecific antibody that engages and redirects T cells to eliminate malignant B cells. In this phase 2, open-label study (NCT03677141), 40 patients (52.5% with international prognostic index ≥3) with previously untreated DLBCL initiated 6 cycles of IV mosunetuzumab with CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) chemotherapy. Mosunetuzumab was administered in cycle 1 as step-up doses to mitigate cytokine release syndrome [CRS], and a dose of 30 mg was given on day 1 of cycles 2-6. Efficacy end points included objective and complete response rates, as determined by the investigator, via positron emission tomography-computed tomography, using Lugano 2014 criteria (87.5% and 85.0%, respectively). At a median follow-up of 32.0 months, the estimated 2-year progression-free survival and event-free survival rates were 65.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 49.5-81.4) and 60.4% (95% CI, 44.7-76.1), respectively. CRS occurred in 60.0% of patients; all events were grade 1 (45.0%) or grade 2 (15.0%) and occurred primarily in cycle 1. Mosunetuzumab-related grade ≥3 neurologic adverse events (AEs) potentially consistent with immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome occurred in 1 patient (2.5%). Grade 5 AEs were reported in 2 patients. Neutropenia occurred in 70.0% of patients, mostly during cycle 1 and was of short duration. These findings demonstrate promising activity and a manageable safety profile for mosunetuzumab-CHOP and warrant further investigation of mosunetuzumab in first-line combination regimens for DLBCL.

Over the past 15 years, and despite many difficulties, significant progress has been made to advance child and adolescent tuberculosis (TB) care. Despite increasing availability of safe and effective treatment and prevention options, TB remains a global health priority as a major cause of child and adolescent morbidity and mortality-over one and a half million children and adolescents develop TB each year. A history of the global public health perspective on child and adolescent TB is followed by 12 narratives detailing challenges and progress in 19 TB endemic low and middle-income countries. Overarching challenges include: under-detection and under-reporting of child and adolescent TB; poor implementation and reporting of contact investigation and TB preventive treatment services; the need for health systems strengthening to deliver effective, decentralized services; and lack of integration between TB programs and child health services. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on case detection and treatment outcomes. Child and adolescent TB working groups can address country-specific challenges to close the policy-practice gaps by developing and supporting decentral ized models of care, strengthening clinical and laboratory diagnosis, including of multidrug-resistant TB, providing recommended options for treatment of disease and infection, and forging strong collaborations across relevant health sectors.
RESUMO
One of the mechanisms by which all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has been shown to suppress the growth of CAOV3 ovarian carcinoma cells involves an increase in the accumulation of Rb2/p130 protein, a member of the retinoblastoma family of tumor suppressors. This increase in accumulation of RB2/p130 by ATRA results from increased stability of Rb2/p130 protein as a result of an increase in dephosphorylation of the protein by the serine/threonine phosphatase PP2A. We show that upon ATRA treatment, PP2A interacts with the Rb2/p130 C-terminus and specifically dephosphorylates two residues (S1080 and T1097) adjacent to NLS1 and NLS2 of Rb2/p130. Moreover, co-immunoprecipitation studies reveal that Rb2/p130 can form a complex with the nuclear transport proteins, importin α and importin ß, binding to the same dephosphorylated NLS1 and NLS2 sites. Finally, mutation of S1080 and T1097 results in retension of Rb2/p130 in the cytoplasm. Our studies suggest that one mechanism by which ATRA treatment of CAOV3 cells induces G0/G1 arrest involves the recruitment of PP2A to the C-terminus of Rb2/p130, resulting in the dephosphorylation of the S1080 and T1097 adjacent to the NLS and the subsequent interaction of Rb2/p130 with importins leading to transport of the Rb2/p130 to the nucleus where it inhibits cell-cycle progression.

We compared outcomes among adult matched related donor (MRD) patients undergoing peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and adult patients undergoing double unit cord blood transplantation (CBT) at our center between 2010 and 2017. A total of 190 CBT patients were compared with 123 MRD patients. Median follow-up was 896 days (range, 169-3350) among surviving CBT patients and 1262 days (range, 249-3327) among surviving MRD patients. Comparing all CBT with all MRD patients, overall survival (OS) was comparable (P = .61) and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) relapse-free survival (GRFS) was significantly improved among CBT patients (P = .0056), primarily because of decreased moderate to severe chronic GVHD following CBT (P < .0001; hazard ratio [HR], 3.99; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.26-7.04). Among patients undergoing our most commonly used MRD and umbilical cord blood (CB) myeloablative regimens, OS was comparable (P = .136) and GRFS was significantly improved among CBT patients (P = .006). Cumulative incidence of relapse trended toward decreased in the CBT group (P = .075; HR, 1.85; CI 0.94-3.67), whereas transplant-related mortality (TRM) was comparable (P = .55; HR, 0.75; CI, 0.29-1.95). Among patients undergoing our most commonly used nonmyeloablative regimens, OS and GRFS were comparable (P = .158 and P = .697). Cumulative incidence of both relapse and TRM were comparable (P = .32; HR, 1.35; CI, 0.75-2.5 for relapse and P = .14; HR, 0.482; CI, 0.18-1.23 for TRM). Our outcomes support the efficacy of CBT and suggest that among patients able to tolerate more intensive conditioning regimens at high risk for relapse, CB may be the preferred donor source.

We compared CMV outcomes of three prophylactic approaches used for CBT and haploidentical cord transplants from December 2009 through 2018: letermovir (n = 32) through day 100 post transplant, "valacyclovir day 100" (valacyclovir 2 g orally three times daily through day 100) (n = 60), and "valacyclovir hospital discharge" (valacyclovir 2 g orally three times daily through hospital discharge then acyclovir 800 mg twice daily) (n = 41). Through day 100, none in the letermovir group, six (10%) in the "valacyclovir day 100," and nine (22%) in the "valacyclovir hospital discharge" group required CMV directed treatment (p = 0.005 and 0.06 comparing letermovir to "valacyclovir hospital discharge" and "valacyclovir day 100"). Fewer patients in the letermovir group (n = 7, 22%) had any CMV reactivation versus the "valacyclovir day 100" group (n = 20, 33%) versus the "valacyclovir hospital discharge" group (n = 23, 57%) (p = 0.003 and 0.21 comparing letermovir to "valacyclovir hospital discharge" and "valacyclovir day 100"). Among patients not reactivating CMV before 100 days, reactivation rates between day 100 and 180 were higher in the letermovir and "valacyclovir day 100" groups than the "valacyclovir hospital discharge" group. Letermovir is safe and effective compared with alternative prophylaxis approaches following CBT through day 100. Reactivation and monitoring after day 100 remain potential concerns.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a group of heterogeneous disorders caused by ineffective hematopoiesis and characterized by bone marrow dysplasia and cytopenia. Current treatment options for MDS are limited to supportive care, hypomethylating agents, and stem cell transplant. Most patients eventually succumb to the disease or progress to leukemia. Previously, we found that CD123 can be used to delineate MDS stem cells in patients at high risk for MDS and that the CD123-positive population is biologically distinct from normal hematopoietic stem cells. Furthermore, selective targeting of MDS stem cells can dramatically reduce tumor burden in preclinical models. On the basis of these findings, we propose CD123 as a candidate target for chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in high-risk MDS patients. To test this concept, we employed a CAR lentiviral vector containing a CD123-specific single-chain variable fragment in combination with the CD28 costimulatory domain, CD3ζ signaling domain, and truncated estimated glomerular filtration rate. Utilizing this system, we illustrate that CD123 CAR can be expressed on both healthy donor and MDS patient-derived T lymphocytes with high efficiency, leading to the successful elimination of MDS stem cells both in vitro and in patient-derived xenografts. These results provide the concept for the use of CD123-targeted CAR T cells as a therapeutic option for patients with MDS.
