RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Ofatumumab is a humanized type 1 anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody. Preclinical studies show improved complement-mediated cytotoxicity (CMC) compared to rituximab in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of combining ofatumumab with HyperCVAD/MA (O-HyperCVAD) in newly diagnosed MCL. METHODS: In this single-arm phase 2 study, 37 patients were treated with the combination of O-HyperCVAD for 4 or 6 cycles, followed by high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant. Primary objectives were overall response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) rate at the end of therapy. Secondary objectives included minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: Median age was 60 years; ORR was 86% and 73% achieved a CR by modified Cheson criteria. The MRD negativity rate was 78% after 2 cycles of therapy, increasing to 96% at the end of induction; median PFS and OS were 45.5 months and 56 months, respectively. Achieving a post-induction CR by both imaging and flow cytometry was associated with improved PFS and OS. Early MRD negativity (post-2 cycles) was also associated with an improved PFS but not OS. There were 3 deaths while on therapy, and grades 3 and 4 adverse events (AEs) were observed in 22% and 68% of the patients. CONCLUSION: The addition of ofatumumab to HyperCVAD/HD-MA led to high rates of MRD negativity by flow cytometry in patients with newly diagnosed MCL. Achieving a CR post-induction by both imaging and flow cytometry is associated with improved overall survival.

RESUMO

Disease relapse and toxicity are the shortcomings of reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). We hypothesized that adding total body irradiation (TBI) to and decreasing melphalan (Mel) from a base RIC regimen of fludarabine (Flu) and Mel would increase cytoreduction and improve disease control while decreasing toxicity. We performed a phase II trial of Flu 160 mg/m2, Mel 50 mg/m2, and TBI 400 cGy (FluMelTBI-50, n = 61), followed by a second phase II trial of Flu 160 mg/m2, Mel 75 mg/m2, and TBI 400cGy (FluMelTBI-75, n = 94) as RIC for alloHCT. Outcomes were compared with a contemporaneous cohort of 162 patients who received Flu 125 mg/m2 and Mel 140 mg/m2. Eligibility criteria were equivalent for all 3 regimens. All patients were ineligible for myeloablative/intensive conditioning. The median (range) follow-up for all patients was 51 (15 to 103) months. Day 100 donor lymphoid chimerism and transplant-related mortality, neutrophil and platelet engraftment, acute and chronic graft versus host disease incidence, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were equivalent between FluMel, FluMelTBI-50, and FluMelTBI-75. Stomatitis wasdecreased for FluMelTBI versus FluMel (P < .01). PFS for patients not in complete remission on alloHCT was improved for FluMelTBI-75 versus FluMel (P = .03). On multivariate analysis, OS (P = .05) and PFS (P = .05) were significantly improved for FluMelTBI-75 versus FluMel. FluMelTBI-75 is better tolerated than FluMel, with improved survival and disease control.

RESUMO

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is generally characterized by an indolent disease course. Histologic transformation (also known as Richter's transformation) to more aggressive lymphomas, such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or Hodgkin lymphoma, occurs in approximately 2% to 10% of patients and is associated with a poor prognosis. These NCCN Guidelines Insights discuss the recommendations for the diagnosis and management of patients with histologic transformation.

RESUMO

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is characterized by an aggressive clinical course and inevitable development of refractory disease, stressing the need to develop alternative therapeutic strategies. To this end, we evaluated pevonedistat (MLN4924), a novel potent and selective NEDD8-activating enzyme inhibitor in a panel of MCL cell lines, primary MCL tumor cells, and 2 distinct murine models of human MCL. Pevonedistat exposure resulted in a dose-, time-, and caspase-dependent cell death in the majority of the MCL cell lines and primary tumor cells tested. Of interest, in the MCL cell lines with lower half-maximal inhibitory concentration (0.1-0.5 µM), pevonedistat induced G1-phase cell cycle arrest, downregulation of Bcl-xL levels, decreased nuclear factor (NF)-κB activity, and apoptosis. In addition, pevonedistat exhibited additive/synergistic effects when combined with cytarabine, bendamustine, or rituximab. In vivo, as a single agent, pevonedistat prolonged the survival of 2 MCL-bearing mouse models when compared with controls. Pevonedistat in combination with rituximab led to improved survival compared with rituximab or pevonedistat monotherapy. Our data suggest that pevonedistat has significant activity in MCL preclinical models, possibly related to effects on NF-κB activity, Bcl-xL downregulation, and G1 cell cycle arrest. Our findings support further investigation of pevonedistat with or without rituximab in the treatment of MCL.

RESUMO

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a critical role in the natural history of human plasma cell neoplasms (PCNs), such as plasma cell myeloma and plasmacytoma (PCT). IL-6 is also at the center of neoplastic plasma cell transformation in BALB/c (C) mice carrying a transgene, H2-L(d)-IL6, that encodes human IL-6 under control of the major histocompatibility complex H2-L(d) promoter: strain C.H2-L(d)-IL6. These mice are prone to PCT, but tumor development is incomplete with long latencies ( approximately 40% PCT at 12 months of age). To generate a more robust mouse model of IL-6-dependent PCN, we intercrossed strain C.H2-L(d)-IL6 with strains C.iMyc(Emu) or C.iMyc(Calpha), 2 interrelated gene-insertion models of the chromosomal T(12;15) translocation causing deregulated expression of Myc in mouse PCT. Deregulation of MYC is also a prominent feature of human PCN. We found that double-transgenic C.H2-L(d)-IL6/iMyc(Emu) and C.H2-L(d)-IL6/iMyc(Calpha) mice develop PCT with full penetrance (100% tumor incidence) and short latencies (3-6 months). The mouse tumors mimic molecular hallmarks of their human tumor counterparts, including elevated IL-6/Stat3/Bcl-X(L) signaling. The newly developed mouse strains may provide a good preclinical research tool for the design and testing of new approaches to target IL-6 in treatment and prevention of human PCNs.

RESUMO

Osmotic nephrosis with acute kidney injury can follow the administration of colloid volume expanders and other hypertonic solutions. In the kidney transplant setting, such agents may be used in the donor before organ procurement and in the recipient during the perioperative period. We report a case of acute lung and kidney injury after infusion of dextran 40 immediately after surgery in a kidney-pancreas transplant recipient. Osmotic nephrosis was confirmed by kidney biopsy, and a spectrophotometric assay was used to measure dextran 40 levels in serial serum samples. Plasmapheresis was initiated to decrease dextran 40 levels. Post hoc analysis confirmed that a single session of apheresis was sufficient to rapidly decrease dextran 40 levels without rebound, consistent with a small volume of distribution in a single-compartment model.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Primary cutaneous CD4(+) small/medium-sized pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma (PCSM-TCL) was defined as a provisional entity in the 2005 World Health Organization-European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer classification of cutaneous lymphomas. A limited number of reports describe a generally indolent but heterogeneous condition. OBJECTIVE: We reviewed the concept of PCSM-TCL when applied to our experience and to the published literature. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective chart review and a PubMed search to identify all reported cases of PCSM-TCL from 2005 to 2010. RESULTS: Ten patients, including 4 of the youngest described, were identified in our institution, and their clinical and pathologic features were analyzed. All had a benign clinical course. Ten reports of patients with PCSM-TCL were reviewed and commonalities were found within an otherwise variable spectrum of clinical presentation, pathology, and biologic behavior. LIMITATIONS: This study was retrospective, follow-up was short term in some cases, and data were limited in a number of published reports. CONCLUSIONS: Our experience of 10 cases that met the diagnostic criteria of the provisional entity PCSM-TCL highlights its occurrence in children and further supports characterization of this condition as a clonal T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder with indolent behavior.

RESUMO

Follicular helper T cells (TFH) have specialized properties in promoting normal B cell activation but their role in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is unknown. We find that TFH cells are elevated in CLL patients and are phenotypically abnormal, expressing higher levels of PD-1, TIGIT, CD40L, IFNγ and IL-21, and exhibiting abnormal composition of TFH1, TFH2 and TFH17 subsets. Frequencies of CD4-positive T cells expressing TFH1 markers and IL-21 were positively correlated with patient lymphocyte counts and RAI stage, suggesting that accumulation of abnormal TFH cells is concomitant with expansion of the leukemic B cell clone. Treatment with ibrutinib led to normalization of TFH frequencies and phenotype. TFH cells identified in CLL bone marrow display elevated expression of several functional markers compared to blood TFH cells. CLL T cell-B cell co-culture experiments revealed a correlation of patient TFH frequencies with functional ability of their CD4-positive T cells to promote CLL proliferation. Conversely, CLL cells can preferentially activate the TFH cell subset in co-culture. Together our results indicate that CLL development is associated with expansion of abnormal TFH populations that produce elevated levels of cytokines and costimulatory molecules which may help support CLL proliferation.

RESUMO

A 78-year-old-male with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treated for seven years with dasatinib developed an acute promyelocytic leukemia complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. A promyelocytic blast crisis was diagnosed by demonstrating co-expression of chimeric BCL/ABL and PML/RARα translocations by karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Promyelocytic blast crisis of CML is a rare event with historically poor outcomes. Treatment of our patient with all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO) resulted in complete morphologic remission. We review here the relevant literature of promyelocytic blast crisis and highlight the potential of ATRA/ATO as first line management.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To explore the role of augmenting neutrophil function in B-cell lymphoma, we conducted a phase II study evaluating the safety and clinical efficacy of pegfilgrastim and rituximab in low-grade CD20+ B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty patients with indolent B-NHL were treated with rituximab (375 mg/m2) every other week for 4 doses, followed by every 2 months for 4 additional doses. Pegfilgrastim was administered subcutaneously 3 days before each dose of rituximab. Clinical activity and tolerability were assessed using standard criteria. Biologic monitoring included phenotype characteristics of the host neutrophils, changes in oxidative burst, and functional assays. RESULTS: The patient demographics included median age of 64 years, 70% were male, 70% had follicular lymphoma, and 90% had stage III-IV disease. The median number of previous therapies was 2 (range, 0-5); 90% had received previous anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy. The addition of pegfilgrastim to rituximab did not increase rituximab-related toxicities. The overall response rate was 60% (12 of 20), with a complete response (CR) rate of 35% (7 of 20). The median progression-free survival (PFS) duration was 17.9 months (95% confidence interval, 9.9-27.6 months); the median overall survival was not reached. A shorter time-to-peak oxidative burst after the first dose of pegfilgrastim was associated with greater CR rates (P = .04) and longer PFS (P = .03). CONCLUSION: The pegfilgrastim-rituximab combination was well tolerated, with favorable outcomes compared with historical controls. A shorter time-to-peak oxidative burst was associated with higher CR rates and longer PFS. Our results support further evaluation of strategies that enhance the innate immune system to improve rituximab activity in B-NHL.

RESUMO

TAFRO syndrome is a rare clinicopathologic variant of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease characterized by Thrombocytopenia, Ascites (anasarca), myeloFibrosis, Renal dysfunction, and Organomegaly. Here, we report a case of TAFRO syndrome in an HIV-negative young Caucasian male who presented with fever, normocytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal insufficiency. The serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) level was elevated. Chest and abdominal CT revealed bilateral pleural effusion, ascites, splenomegaly, and multiple mildly enlarged lymph nodes. An excisional biopsy of inguinal lymph node showed a few atrophic follicles and expansion of interfollicular areas by marked vascular proliferation and polytypic plasmacytosis. HHV-8 was negative. Subsequent bone marrow biopsy was normocellular with moderately increased megakaryocytes and occasional megakaryocytic emperipolesis. His signs and symptoms improved after treatment with methylprednisolone and tocilizumab (anti-IL-6 receptor antibody). Our study confirms the distinctive nature of this syndrome, which should allow for better recognition and appropriate therapy.

RESUMO

The Case Study Interpretation (CSI) cases presented at the 2014 International Clinical Cytometry Society (ICCS) meeting in Seattle illustrate the utility of state-of-the art multiparameter flow cytometry in the diagnosis of hematolymphoid neoplasms. Download the listmode files (Supporting Information) and test your analysis skills before reading the case reports, keeping in mind the following questions. How many separate abnormal mature B-cell populations can you identify, and how many of these represent different subtypes of B-cell neoplasm? How many separate abnormal mature T-cell populations can you identify, and do these represent different subtypes of T-cell neoplasm or phenotypic heterogeneity in one neoplasm? How many separate immature/blastic cell populations can you identify, and do they meet criteria for mixed phenotype leukemia? Is there a population of blasts that lacks T-cell, B-cell, and myeloid lineage defining antigens and if so, what entities should you consider and what additional antigens should you assess for?

RESUMO

Burkitt lymphoma (BL) occurs at all ages, but the patterns of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positivity in relation to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), immunoprofiles and age have not been fully explored. BL tissues from residual tissue repositories, and two academic centers in the United States were examined by expert hematopathologists for morphology, immunohistochemistry, MYC rearrangement, EBV-encoded RNA (EBER), and diagnosed according to the 2008 WHO lymphoma classification. Analysis was done using frequency tables, Chi-squared statistics, and Student's t-test. Of 117 cases examined, 91 were confirmed as BL. The age distribution was 26%, 15%, 19%, and 29% for 0-19, 20-34, 35-59, 60+ years, and missing in 11%. MYC rearrangement was found in 89% and EBER positivity in 29% of 82 cases with results. EBER positivity varied with age (from 13% in age group 0-19 to 55% in age group 20-34, and fell to 25% in age group 60+ years, p = 0.08); with race (56% in Blacks/Hispanics vs 21% in Whites/Asians/Pacific Islanders, p = 0.006); and by HIV status (64% in HIV positive vs 22% in HIV negative cases, p = 0.03). EBER positivity was demonstrated in about one-third of tumors and it was strongly associated with race and HIV status, and marginally with age-group.
