RESUMO
PURPOSE: To compare the indications, specimen quality, and cost of CT versus non-image guided bone marrow aspirate and biopsy (BMAB). METHODS: All CT and non-image guided BMAB performed from January 2013-July 2022 were studied. Body-mass-index (BMI), skin-to-bone distance, aspirate, and core specimen quality, and core sample length were documented. Indications for CT guided BMAB were recorded. Categorical variables were compared using chi-squared test and continuous variables using Mann-Whitney test. Analysis of per-biopsy factors used linear mixed-effect models to adjust for clustering. Cost of CT and non-image guided BMAB was taken from patient billing data. RESULTS: There were 301 CT and 6535 non-image guided BMABs studied. All CT guided BMAB were studied. A subset of 317 non-image guided BMAB was selected randomly from the top ten CT BMAB referrers. BMI (kg/m2) and skin-to-bone distance (cm) was higher in the CT versus the non-image guided group; 34.4 v 26.8, p < 0.0001; 4.8 v 2.5, p < 0.0001, respectively. Aspirate and core sample quality were not different between groups, p = 0.21 and p = 0.12, respectively. CT guided core marrow samples were longer, p < 0.0001. The most common CT BMAB referral indications were large body habitus (47.7 %), failed attempt (18.8 %) and not stated (17.4 %). Cost of a CT guided BMAB with conscious sedation was $3945 USD versus $310 USD for non-image guided. CONCLUSION: CT guided BMAB are commonly performed in patients with large body habitus and failed attempt. However, the cost is 12.7 fold higher with no increase in specimen quality. These findings can help referrers be cost conscious.

PURPOSE: Develop a novel therapeutic strategy for patients with subtypes of mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Primary specimens, cell lines, patient-derived xenograft models, commercially available, and proprietary anti-KLRG1 antibodies were used for screening, target, and functional validation. RESULTS: Here we demonstrate that surface KLRG1 is highly expressed on tumor cells in subsets of patients with extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL), T-prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL), and gamma/delta T-cell lymphoma (G/D TCL). The majority of the CD8+/CD57+ or CD3-/CD56+ leukemic cells derived from patients with T- and NK-large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGLL and NK-LGLL), respectively, expressed surface KLRG1. The humanized afucosylated anti-KLRG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb208) optimized for mouse in vivo use depleted KLRG1+ TCL cells by mechanisms of ADCC, ADCP, and CDC rather than apoptosis. mAb208 induced ADCC and ADCP of T-LGLL patient-derived CD8+/CD57+ cells ex vivo. mAb208 effected ADCC of subsets of healthy donor-derived KLRG1+ NK, CD4+, CD8+ Tem, and TemRA cells while sparing KLRG1- naïve and CD8+ Tcm cells. Treatment of cell line and TCL patient-derived xenografts with mAb208 or anti-CD47 mAb alone and in combination with the PI3K-δ/γ inhibitor duvelisib extended survival. The depletion of macrophages in vivo antagonized mAb208 efficacy. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest the potential benefit of a broader treatment strategy combining therapeutic antibodies with PI3Ki for the treatment of patients with mature T-cell and NK-cell neoplasms.

BACKGROUND: To define the clinicopathologic and prognostic features of patients with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1)-associated adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) in North America, standard criteria were used to identify patients with ATLL. METHODS: Statistical analyses used included descriptive statistics, Kaplan-Meir survival analysis, and recursive partitioning. RESULTS: Eighty-nine patients were identified between August 1992 and May 2007, including 37 (41.6%) males and 52 (58.4%) females with a median age of 50 years (range, 22-82 years). All but 6 patients had immigrated to the United States from the Caribbean, Latin America, or Africa. The acute subtype predominated (68.5%). The majority of patients received a combination-alkylator-based chemotherapy regimen in the front-line setting (72.6%). The most common regimen was cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone at standard doses or attenuated and/or with methotrexate (CHOP-like), which produced an overall response rate of 64.1%. Despite initial responses to therapy, the median overall survival for all subtypes was 24 weeks (range, 0.9-315 weeks). Although the International Prognostic Index and Prognostic Index for peripheral T-cell lymphoma unspecified identified subsets of patients, these models were not completely predictive. A recursive partitioning analysis was performed on the data, which successfully identified 3 prognostic categories based on Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, stage, age, and calcium level at diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: This series proposed a new prognostic model for patients with HTLV-1-associated ATLL and confirmed a poor outcome for these patients in North America.

PURPOSE: To document the toxicity and activity of the histone deacetylase inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) in patients with pretreated hematologic malignancies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two formulations of SAHA (intravenous [IV] and oral) have been assessed in two consecutive phase I trials. In both trials, dose escalation was performed in parallel and independently in patients with solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Eligible patients were required to have adequate hepatic and renal function, an absolute neutrophil count > or = 500/microL and a platelet count more than 25,000/mL. All patients provided informed consent for study inclusion. RESULTS: A total of 39 patients with hematologic malignancy were enrolled (14 on IV SAHA and 25 on oral SAHA), of whom 35 were treated. The spectrum of diseases included patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n = 12), Hodgkin's disease (HD; n = 12), multiple myeloma (n = 2), T-cell lymphoma (n = 3), mantle cell lymphoma (n = 2), small lymphocytic lymphoma (n = 2), and myeloid leukemia (n = 2). Major adverse events with the oral formulation included fatigue, diarrhea, anorexia, and dehydration, whereas myelosuppression and thrombocytopenia were more prominent with the IV formulation. Typically, the hematologic toxicities resolved shortly after SAHA was stopped. There was no neutropenic fever or neutropenic sepsis. Reduction in measurable tumor was observed in five patients. One patient with transformed small lymphocytic lymphoma met criteria for complete response, whereas another met the criteria for partial response (PR). One patient with refractory HD had a PR, whereas three patients had stable disease for up to 9 months. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that SAHA has activity in hematologic malignancies including HD and select subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
