RESUMEN

Spleen volume reduction (SVR) is a key endpoint in inhibitors of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor studies. Retrospective analyses have demonstrated an association between SVR and improved overall survival (OS) among patients treated with ruxolitinib with a platelet count > 100 × 109/L. Whether this association occurs in patients with thrombocytopenia is unclear. Pacritinib, a JAK2/IRAK1/ACVR1 inhibitor, demonstrated improved SVR versus best available therapy (BAT [best available therapy]; including ruxolitinib) in patients with myelofibrosis and platelet counts ≤ 100 × 109/L in the PERSIST-2 study. Patients on study at the start of the 12-week SVR window on pacritinib 200 mg twice daily or BAT were included. OS was evaluated among SVR responders versus non-responders using different SVR thresholds (≥ 35%, ≥ 20%, ≥ 10%, and > 0%). Among patients on pacritinib (n = 89), SVR ≥ 10% demonstrated the greatest separation in OS curves between responders and non-responders (HR, 0.00; 95% CI, 0.00-0.14; p < 0.01), though SVR ≥ 0% and SVR ≥ 20% were also associated with improved OS. No SVR threshold conferred OS benefit on BAT (n = 84), including ruxolitinib (n = 39). In patients with myelofibrosis and platelets ≤ 100 × 109/L, achieving SVR on pacritinib, but not BAT (including ruxolitinib), was associated with significant OS benefit, suggesting that pacritinib may offer a unique survival advantage in patients with myelofibrosis and thrombocytopenia who achieve any SVR. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT02055781.

RESUMEN

Hypomethylating agents (HMA) and venetoclax (VEN) are commonly used in patients with IDH-mutated (IDHm) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) ineligible for induction chemotherapy. While prior studies demonstrated high response and survival rates with HMA/VEN in IDHm AML, the impact of treatment modifications in real-world settings is unclear. We retrospectively reviewed 89 IDHm AML patients treated with HMA/VEN from January 2018 to June 2023. CR/CRi rates were 76% in newly diagnosed (ND) and 55% in relapsed/refractory (R/R) patients, and median overall survival was 29.2 months (ND) and 17.1 months (R/R), respectively. Treatment modifications were common. Early VEN reductions were associated with lower response rates but not worse survival. Prolonged cycles were not associated with worse response rates or survival. Significant neutropenia and ED visits or unplanned hospitalizations were considerable before and after CR/CRi, though febrile neutropenia decreased afterward. HMA/VEN is efficacious, with treatment modifications not affecting survival, though long-term toxicities are notable.

RESUMEN

Cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major source of oncologic cost, morbidity and mortality. Identifying high-risk patients for prophylactic anticoagulation is challenging and adds to clinician burden. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) sequencing assays ('liquid biopsies') are widely implemented, but their utility for VTE prognostication is unknown. Here we analyzed three plasma sequencing cohorts: a pan-cancer discovery cohort of 4,141 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or breast, pancreatic and other cancers; a prospective validation cohort consisting of 1,426 patients with the same cancer types; and an international generalizability cohort of 463 patients with advanced NSCLC. ctDNA detection was associated with VTE independent of clinical and radiographic features. A machine learning model trained on liquid biopsy data outperformed previous risk scores (discovery, validation and generalizability c-indices 0.74, 0.73 and 0.67, respectively, versus 0.57, 0.61 and 0.54 for the Khorana score). In real-world data, anticoagulation was associated with lower VTE rates if ctDNA was detected (n = 2,522, adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 0.50, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.30-0.81); ctDNA- patients (n = 1,619) did not benefit from anticoagulation (adjusted HR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.40-2.0). These results provide preliminary evidence that liquid biopsies may improve VTE risk stratification in addition to clinical parameters. Interventional, randomized prospective studies are needed to confirm the clinical utility of liquid biopsies for guiding anticoagulation in patients with cancer.

RESUMEN

Venetoclax is a BCL2 inhibitor used in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) which can cause tumor lysis syndrome (TLS). We aimed to determine the incidence of and risk factors for TLS among patients with CLL/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who received treatment with venetoclax at our institution from 1/1/2016 to 12/31/2020. We included 616 venetoclax escalations among 136 pts with CLL. 74 pts (54%) underwent escalation exclusively outpatient, 35 (26%) had at least one planned hospitalization and 27 (20%) were escalated exclusively inpatient. During venetoclax initiation, 86% of pts received allopurinol, 71% intravenous hydration, 18% phosphate binders, and 10% prophylactic rasburicase. Among the entire cohort, 7 pts (5.1%) developed laboratory TLS by modified Cairo Bishop criteria and none developed clinical TLS. Incidence of laboratory TLS was 15% for those escalated exclusively inpatient, 2.9% for those with any prophylactic hospitalization and 2.7% for those escalated exclusively outpatient. Those who developed TLS were more likely to have higher TLS risk, and no additional risk factors were identified. In this single institution retrospective cohort study, laboratory TLS was observed, though clinical TLS was not. Prophylactic measures, including use of IV hydration, may have contributed to low rates of observed TLS in the outpatient setting.

RESUMEN

Breast cancer includes several subtypes with distinct characteristic biological, pathologic, and clinical features. Elucidating subtype-specific genetic etiology could provide insights into the heterogeneity of breast cancer to facilitate the development of improved prevention and treatment approaches. In this study, we conducted pairwise case-case comparisons among five breast cancer subtypes by applying a case-case genome-wide association study (CC-GWAS) approach to summary statistics data of the Breast Cancer Association Consortium. The approach identified 13 statistically significant loci and eight suggestive loci, the majority of which were identified from comparisons between triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and luminal A breast cancer. Associations of lead variants in 12 loci remained statistically significant after accounting for previously reported breast cancer susceptibility variants, among which, two were genome-wide significant. Fine mapping implicated putative functional/causal variants and risk genes at several loci, e.g., 3q26.31/TNFSF10, 8q22.3/NACAP1/GRHL2, and 8q23.3/LINC00536/TRPS1, for TNBC as compared with luminal cancer. Functional investigation further identified rs16867605 at 8q22.3 as a SNP that modulates the enhancer activity of GRHL2. Subtype-informative polygenic risk scores (PRS) were derived, and patients with a high subtype-informative PRS had an up to two-fold increased risk of being diagnosed with TNBC instead of luminal cancers. The CC-GWAS PRS remained statistically significant after adjusting for TNBC PRS derived from traditional case-control GWAS in The Cancer Genome Atlas and the African Ancestry Breast Cancer Genetic Consortium. The CC-GWAS PRS was also associated with overall survival and disease-specific survival among patients with breast cancer. Overall, these findings have advanced our understanding of the genetic etiology of breast cancer subtypes, particularly for TNBC. Significance: The discovery of subtype-informative genetic risk variants for breast cancer advances our understanding of the etiologic heterogeneity of breast cancer, which could accelerate the identification of targets and personalized strategies for prevention and treatment.

RESUMEN

Lenalidomide maintenance is associated with a significantly improved progression-free in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Maintenance with lenalidomide is generally well tolerated; however, lenalidomide associated diarrhea is a common side effect and bile acid malabsorption has been suggested as an underlying mechanism. We conducted a single arm phase 2 trial of colesevelam, a bile acid binder, for lenalidomide-associated diarrhea in multiple myeloma. Patients were treated with colesevelam daily starting at 1250 mg (2 tablets 625 mg) for 12 weeks. The trial included 25 patients, 1 patient with grade 3 diarrhea, 14 with grade 2, and 10 with grade 1 diarrhea. All patients were on treatment with single agent lenalidomide maintenance and no patient progressed during the trial. Colesevelam treatment was highly effective for treatment of lenalidomide-associated diarrhea; 22 (88%) of the 25 patients responded where 17 patients (68%) had complete resolution of diarrhea, and 5 patients (20%) had improvement by 1 grade of diarrhea. The responses to colesevelam were seen within the first two weeks of treatment. These findings support the conclusion that lenalidomide-associated diarrhea is driven by bile acid malabsorption. Five patients reported mild gastrointestinal side effects including constipation. Importantly, the pharmacokinetics of lenalidomide were not affected by concomitant colesevelam treatment. The stool microbiome composition was not significantly different before and after colesevelam treatment. Patients reported improved diarrhea, fewer gastrointestinal symptoms, and less interference with their daily life after starting colesevelam. In summary, colesevelam was safe and highly effective for treatment of lenalidomide-associated diarrhea in multiple myeloma and does not reduce the clinical effect of lenalidomide.

RESUMEN

B-cell-maturation-antigen (BCMA)-directed therapies are highly active for multiple myeloma, but infections are emerging as a major challenge. In this retrospective, single-center analysis we evaluated infectious complications after BCMA-targeted chimeric-antigen-receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T), bispecific-antibodies (BsAb) and antibody-drug-conjugates (ADC). The primary endpoint was severe (grade ≥3) infection incidence. Amongst 256 patients, 92 received CAR-T, 55 BsAb and 109 ADC. The incidence of severe infections was higher with BsAb (40%) than CAR-T (26%) or ADC (8%), including grade 5 infections (7% vs 0% vs 0%, respectively). Comparing T-cell redirecting therapies, the incidence rate of severe infections was significantly lower with CAR-T compared to BsAb at 1-year (incidence-rate-ratio [IRR] = 0.43, 95%CI 0.25-0.76, P = 0.004). During periods of treatment-emergent hypogammaglobulinemia, BsAb recipients had higher infection rates (IRR:2.27, 1.31-3.98, P = 0.004) and time to severe infection (HR 2.04, 1.05-3.96, P = 0.036) than their CAR-T counterparts. During periods of non-neutropenia, CAR-T recipients had a lower risk (HR 0.44, 95%CI 0.21-0.93, P = 0.032) and incidence rate (IRR:0.32, 95% 0.17-0.59, P < 0.001) of severe infections than BsAb. In conclusion, we observed an overall higher and more persistent risk of severe infections with BsAb. Our results also suggest a higher infection risk during periods of hypogammaglobulinemia with BsAb, and with neutropenia in CAR-T recipients.

RESUMEN

AIMS: B lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma (B-ALL) is thought to originate from Pro/Pre-B cells and the genetic aberrations largely reside in lymphoid-committed cells. A recent study demonstrated that a proportion of paediatric B-ALL patients have BCR::ABL1 fusion in myeloid cells, suggesting a chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML)-like biology in this peculiar subset of B-ALL, although it is not entirely clear if the CD19-negative precursor compartment is a source of the myeloid cells. Moreover, the observation has not yet been extended to other fusion-driven B-ALLs. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study we investigated a cohort of KMT2A-rearranged B-ALL patients with a comparison to BCR::ABL1-rearranged B-ALL by performing cell sorting via flow cytometry followed by FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) analysis on each of the sorted populations. In addition, RNA sequencing was performed on one of the sorted populations. These analyses showed that (1) multilineage involvement was present in 53% of BCR::ABL1 and 36% of KMT2A-rearranged B-ALL regardless of age, (2) multilineage involvement created pitfalls for residual disease monitoring, and (3) HSPC transcriptome signatures were upregulated in KMT2A-rearranged B-ALL with multilineage involvement. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, multilineage involvement is common in both BCR::ABL1-rearranged and KMT2A-rearranged B-ALL, which should be taken into consideration when interpreting the disease burden during the clinical course.

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT: Although significant progress has been made in understanding the genetic basis of primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), the pathogenesis of secondary HLH, the more prevalent form, remains unclear. Among the various conditions giving rise to secondary HLH, HLH in patients with lymphoma (HLH-L) accounts for a substantial proportion. In this study, we investigated the role of somatic mutations in the pathogenesis of HLH-L in a cohort of patients with T- and/or natural killer-cell lymphoma. We identified a 3-time higher frequency of mutations in FAS pathway in patients with HLH-L. Patients harboring these mutations had a 5-time increased HLH-L risk. These mutations were independently associated with inferior outcome. Hence, our study demonstrates the association between somatic mutations in FAS pathway and HLH-L. Further studies are warranted on the mechanistic role of these mutations in HLH-L.

RESUMEN

Our work was motivated by the question whether, and to what extent, well-established risk factors mediate the racial disparity observed for colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence in the United States. Mediation analysis examines the relationships between an exposure, a mediator and an outcome. All available methods require access to a single complete data set with these three variables. However, because population-based studies usually include few non-White participants, these approaches have limited utility in answering our motivating question. Recently, we developed novel methods to integrate several data sets with incomplete information for mediation analysis. These methods have two limitations: (i) they only consider a single mediator and (ii) they require a data set containing individual-level data on the mediator and exposure (and possibly confounders) obtained by independent and identically distributed sampling from the target population. Here, we propose a new method for mediation analysis with several different data sets that accommodates complex survey and registry data, and allows for multiple mediators. The proposed approach yields unbiased causal effects estimates and confidence intervals with nominal coverage in simulations. We apply our method to data from U.S. cancer registries, a U.S.-population-representative survey and summary level odds-ratio estimates, to rigorously evaluate what proportion of the difference in CRC risk between non-Hispanic Whites and Blacks is mediated by three potentially modifiable risk factors (CRC screening history, body mass index, and regular aspirin use).

During periods of non-neutropenia, CAR-T recipients had a lower risk (HR 0.44, 95%CI 0.21-0.93, P = 0.032) and incidence rate (IRR:0.32, 95% 0.17-0.59, P < 0.001) of severe infections than BsAb. In conclusion, we observed an overall higher and more persistent risk of severe infections with BsAb. Our results also suggest a higher infection risk during periods of hypogammaglobulinemia with BsAb, and with neutropenia in CAR-T recipients.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Outcomes for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) are heterogenous, with overall survival (OS) ranging from months to over 10 years. METHODS: To decipher and predict the molecular and clinical heterogeneity of NDMM, we assembled a series of 1,933 patients with available clinical, genomic, and therapeutic data. RESULTS: Leveraging a comprehensive catalog of genomic drivers, we identified 12 groups, expanding on previous gene expression-based molecular classifications. To build a model predicting individualized risk in NDMM (IRMMa), we integrated clinical, genomic, and treatment variables. To correct for time-dependent variables, including high-dose melphalan followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation (HDM-ASCT), and maintenance therapy, a multi-state model was designed. The IRMMa model accuracy was significantly higher than all comparator prognostic models, with a c-index for OS of 0.726, compared with International Staging System (ISS; 0.61), revised-ISS (0.572), and R2-ISS (0.625). Integral to model accuracy was 20 genomic features, including 1q21 gain/amp, del 1p, TP53 loss, NSD2 translocations, APOBEC mutational signatures, and copy-number signatures (reflecting the complex structural variant chromothripsis). IRMMa accuracy and superiority compared with other prognostic models were validated on 256 patients enrolled in the GMMG-HD6 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02495922) clinical trial. Individualized patient risks were significantly affected across the 12 genomic groups by different treatment strategies (ie, treatment variance), which was used to identify patients for whom HDM-ASCT is particularly effective versus patients for whom the impact is limited. CONCLUSION: Integrating clinical, demographic, genomic, and therapeutic data, to our knowledge, we have developed the first individualized risk-prediction model enabling personally tailored therapeutic decisions for patients with NDMM.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Contralateral breast cancer (CBC) is the most common second primary cancer diagnosed in breast cancer survivors, yet the understanding of the genetic susceptibility of CBC, particularly with respect to common variants, remains incomplete. This study aimed to investigate the genetic basis of CBC to better understand this malignancy. FINDINGS: We performed a genome-wide association analysis in the Women's Environmental Cancer and Radiation Epidemiology (WECARE) Study of women with first breast cancer diagnosed at age < 55 years including 1161 with CBC who served as cases and 1668 with unilateral breast cancer (UBC) who served as controls. We observed two loci (rs59657211, 9q32, SLC31A2/FAM225A and rs3815096, 6p22.1, TRIM31) with suggestive genome-wide significant associations (P < 1 × 10-6). We also found an increased risk of CBC associated with a breast cancer-specific polygenic risk score (PRS) comprised of 239 known breast cancer susceptibility single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rate ratio per 1-SD change: 1.25; 95% confidence interval 1.14-1.36, P < 0.0001). The protective effect of chemotherapy on CBC risk was statistically significant only among patients with an elevated PRS (Pheterogeneity = 0.04). The AUC that included the PRS and known breast cancer risk factors was significantly elevated. CONCLUSIONS: The present GWAS identified two previously unreported loci with suggestive genome-wide significance. We also confirm that an elevated risk of CBC is associated with a comprehensive breast cancer susceptibility PRS that is independent of known breast cancer risk factors. These findings advance our understanding of genetic risk factors involved in CBC etiology.

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT: Multiple myeloma (MM) is twice as common in Black individuals compared with in White individuals, and diabetes mellitus (DM) disproportionately affects Black patients. Although numerous studies have shown a correlation between DM and MM, this has not been studied in the context of race and in vivo mechanisms. We conducted a retrospective clinical study of 5383 patients with MM of which 15% had DM (White, 12% and Black, 25%). Multivariable Cox models showed reduced overall survival (OS) for patients with DM (hazard ratio, 1.27; 95% confidence interval, 1.11-1.47; P < .001). This appeared to be driven by a marked difference in OS between White patients with and without DM but not in Black patients. In contrast, obesity was associated with better OS in Black patients but not in White patients. To complement this analysis, we assessed MM growth in a genetically engineered immunocompromised nonobese diabetic (Rag1-/-/muscle creatinine kinase promoter expression of a human IGF1R [M] with a lysine [K] to arginine [R] point mutation) mouse model to evaluate the mechanisms linking DM and MM. MM.1S xenografts grew in more Rag1-/-/MKR mice and grew more rapidly in the Rag1-/-/MKR mice compared with in controls. Western blot analysis found that MM1.S xenografts from Rag1-/-/MKR mice had higher phosphorylated S6 ribosomal protein (Ser235/236) levels, indicating greater activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway. Our study is, to our knowledge, the first to evaluate racial differences in DM prevalence and survival in MM, as well as the effect of DM on tumor growth in mouse models. Our results suggest that DM may contribute to the higher incidence of MM in Black patients; and to improve survival in MM, DM management cannot be ignored.

RESUMEN

Mixed phenotype (MP) in acute leukemias poses unique classification and management dilemmas and can be seen in entities other than de novo mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL). Although WHO classification empirically recommends excluding AML with myelodysplasia related changes (AML-MRC) and therapy related AML (t-AML) with mixed phenotype (AML-MP) from MPAL, there is lack of studies investigating the clinical, genetic, and biologic features of AML-MP. We report the first cohort of AML-MRC and t-AML with MP integrating their clinical, immunophenotypic, genomic and transcriptomic features with comparison to MPAL and AML-MRC/t-AML without MP. Both AML cohorts with and without MP shared similar clinical features including adverse outcomes but were different from MPAL. The genomic landscape of AML-MP overlaps with AML without MP but differs from MPAL. AML-MP harbors more frequent RUNX1 mutations than AML without MP and MPAL. RUNX1 mutations did not impact the survival of patients with MPAL. Unsupervised hierarchal clustering based on immunophenotype identified biologically distinct clusters with phenotype/genotype correlation and outcome differences. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis showed an enrichment for stemness signature in AML-MP and AML without MP as compared to MPAL. Lastly, MPAL but not AML-MP often switched to lymphoid only immunophenotype after treatment. Expression of transcription factors critical for lymphoid differentiation were upregulated only in MPAL, but not in AML-MP. Our study for the first time demonstrates that AML-MP clinically and biologically resembles its AML counterpart without MP and differs from MPAL, supporting the recommendation to exclude these patients from the diagnosis of MPAL. Future studies are needed to elucidate the molecular mechanism of mixed phenotype in AML. Key points: AML-MP clinically and biologically resembles AML but differs from MPAL. AML-MP shows RUNX1 mutations, stemness signatures and limited lymphoid lineage plasticity.

RESUMEN

Background: Despite patient interest in knowing whether diet is linked to multiple myeloma (MM), there is limited research on dietary patterns and MM risk. Two studies have assessed this risk, albeit with a small number of MM cases. The EPIC-Oxford cohort and Oxford Vegetarian study (65 MM cases) showed that fish eaters, vegetarians and vegans had significantly reduced MM risk compared to meat eaters. The Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study (478 MM cases) showed a significantly increased MM risk in men with Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Pattern. Methods: The NIH-AARP Diet and Health study is a prospective cohort of 567,169 persons who completed a food frequency questionnaire in 1995-1996 and were followed until December 2011. Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015), Healthy Diet Score (HDS), alternate Mediterranean Diet (aMED) and healthful Plant-based Diet Index (hPDI) scores were calculated using a priori defined methods and grouped into quartiles, with higher scores reflecting healthier eating patterns. We prospectively evaluated the association between pre-diagnosis dietary patterns and MM incidence in this cohort. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were estimated using multivariate Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for age at study entry, sex, race, body mass index, education, and total energy intake (by residual method). Sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess reverse causality by excluding MM cases diagnosed within one year of follow-up. Results: Among 392,589 participants (after exclusions), a total of 1,366 MM cases (59% males; 92% non-Hispanic whites) were identified during the follow-up period. Analysis revealed a significant association between hPDI scores and reduced MM risk (highest vs lowest quartile, HR 0.85; 95%CI 0.73-1.0; p=0.043) (Table). In sensitivity analysis (1,302 MM cases), the association was no longer significant (HR 0.87; 95%CI 0.74-1.03; p 0.09) but trended in the same direction. This may be due to small sample size, given MM is a rare disease. HEI-2015, HDS and aMED scores were not associated with MM risk. Conclusions: A healthful plant-based diet was associated with reduced MM risk in the NIH-AARP cohort. These results will help oncologists and patients make informed choices about their diet. To our knowledge, this is the largest epidemiologic study to date assessing pre-diagnosis dietary patterns and MM risk.
