RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibody-mediated platelet destruction. Treatment with CM313, a novel anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, can result in targeted clearance of CD38-positive cells, including plasma cells. METHODS: We conducted a phase 1-2, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CM313 in adult patients with ITP. CM313 was administered intravenously at a dose of 16 mg per kilogram of body weight every week for 8 weeks, followed by a 16-week follow-up period. The primary outcomes were adverse events and documentation of two or more consecutive platelet counts of at least 50×109 per liter within 8 weeks after the first dose of CM313. The status of peripheral-blood immune cells in patients and changes in the mononuclear phagocytic system in passive mouse models of ITP receiving anti-CD38 therapy were monitored. RESULTS: Of the 22 patients included in the study, 21 (95%) had two consecutive platelet counts of at least 50×109 per liter during the treatment period, with a median cumulative response duration of 23 weeks (interquartile range, 17 to 24). The median time to the first platelet count of at least 50×109 per liter was 1 week (range, 1 to 3). The most common adverse events that occurred during the study were infusion-related reaction (in 32% of the patients) and upper respiratory tract infection (in 32%). After CD38-targeted therapy, the percentage of CD56dimCD16+ natural killer cells, the expression of CD32b on monocytes in peripheral blood, and the number of macrophages in the spleen of the passive mouse models of ITP all decreased. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, anti-CD38 targeted therapy rapidly boosted platelet levels by inhibiting antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity on platelets, maintained long-term efficacy by clearing plasma cells, and was associated with mainly low-grade toxic effects.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has a significant impact on the immune system. This is the first and largest study on pre-existing immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) patients infected with COVID-19 in China. We prospectively collected ITP patients infected with COVID-19 enrolled in the National Longitudinal Cohort of Hematological Diseases (NICHE, NCT04645199) and followed up for at least 1 month after infection. One thousand and one hundred forty-eight pre-existing ITP patients were included. Two hundred and twelve (18.5%) patients showed a decrease in the platelet (PLT) count after infection. Forty-seven (4.1%) patients were diagnosed with pneumonia. Risk factors for a decrease in the PLT count included baseline PLT count <50 × 109/L (OR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.25-2.46; p = 0.001), maintenance therapy including thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) (OR, 2.27; 95% CI, 1.60-3.21; p < 0.001) and previous splenectomy (OR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.09-3.61; p = 0.03). Risk factors for pneumonia included age ≥40 years (OR, 2.45; 95% CI, 1.12-5.33; p = 0.02), ≥2 comorbidities (OR, 3.47; 95% CI, 1.63-7.64; p = 0.001), maintenance therapy including TPO-RAs (OR, 2.14; 95% CI, 1.17-3.91; p = 0.01) and immunosuppressants (OR, 3.05; 95% CI, 1.17-7.91; p = 0.02). In this cohort study, we described the characteristics of pre-existing ITP patients infected with COVID-19 and identified several factors associated with poor outcomes.

Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare but serious bleeding disorder. Randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the efficacy of immunosuppression therapy for AHA lacks. We conducted the first multicenter RCT aiming to establish whether the single-dose rituximab combination regimen was noninferior to the cyclophosphamide combination regimen. From 2017 to 2022, 63 patients with newly diagnosed AHA from five centers were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive glucocorticoid (methylprednisolone 0.8 mg/kg per day for the first 3 weeks and then tapered) plus single-dose rituximab (375 mg/m2 ; n = 31) or plus cyclophosphamide (2 mg/kg per day until inhibitor becomes negative, for a maximum of 5 weeks; n = 32). The primary outcome was complete remission (CR, defined as FVIII activity ≥50 IU/dL, FVIII inhibitor undetectable, immunosuppression tapered and no bleeding for 24 h without bypassing agents) rate measured within 8 weeks. The noninferiority margin was an absolute difference of 20%. Twenty-four (77.4%) patients in the rituximab group and 22 (68.8%) patients in the cyclophosphamide group achieved CR, which showed the noninferiority of the single-dose rituximab-based regimen (absolute difference = -8.67%, lower limit of the 95% confidence interval = -13.11%; Pnoninferiority = 0.005). No difference was found in the incidence of treatment-related adverse events. Single-dose rituximab plus glucocorticoid regimen showed similar efficacy and safety, without a reported risk of secondary malignancies or reproductive toxicity seen in cyclophosphamide, it might be recommended as a first-line therapy for AHA, especially in China where there is a young age trend in AHA patients. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT03384277.

The clinical characteristics and prognosis of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with hematological diseases remain controversial. This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and explore the prognostic factors in such patients. A total of 238 ICH patients with a hematological disease were recruited from the Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital, China, from January 2015 to April 2020. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify the prognostic factors for 30-day mortality in ICH patients with a hematological disease. There were 123 cases of acute leukemia (AL), 20 of myelodysplasia/myeloproliferative neoplasm, 35 of aplastic anemia (AA), 29 of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), 19 of congenital/acquired coagulation factor deficiency, and 12 of other hematological diseases. Furthermore, 121 patients presented with a multi-site hemorrhage (MSH), 58 with a single-site hemorrhage in the brain parenchyma (PCH), 23 with a subarachnoid hemorrhage, 33 with a subdural hemorrhage (SH), and three with an epidural hemorrhage. The Cox proportional hazards model indicated association of SH (vs PCH, hazard ratio [HR]: 0.230; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.053-0.996; P = 0.049), low white blood cells (≤ 100 × 109/L vs > 100 × 109/L, HR: 0.56; 95% CI: 0.348-0.910; P = 0.019), AA (vs AL, HR: 0.408; 95% CI: 0.203-0.821; P = 0.012), and ITP (vs AL, HR: 0.197; 95% CI: 0.061-0.640; P = 0.007) with improved 30-day mortality. However, increased age (HR: 1.012; 95% CI: 1.001-1.022; P = 0.034), MSH (vs PCH, HR: 1.891; 95% CI: 1.147-3.117; P = 0.012), and a disturbance of consciousness (HR: 1.989; 95% CI: 1.269-3.117; P = 0.003) were associated with increased risk of 30-day mortality. In conclusion, in this study, we revealed the clinical characteristics of Chinese ICH patients with a hematological disease. Moreover, we identified risk factors (age, white blood cells, AA, ITP, SH, MSH, and a disturbance of consciousness) that may influence 30-day mortality.

BACKGROUND: Approximately two-thirds of patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL) do not respond to or relapse after anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T)-cell therapy, leading to poor outcomes. Previous studies have suggested that intensified lymphodepletion and hematological stem cell infusion can promote adoptively transferred T-cell expansion, enhancing antitumor effects. Therefore, we conducted a phase I/II clinical trial in which CNCT19 (an anti-CD19 CAR T-cell) was administered after myeloablative high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT) in patients with R/R LBCL. METHODS: Transplant-eligible patients with LBCL who were refractory to first-line immunochemotherapy or experiencing R/R status after salvage chemotherapy were enrolled. The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this combinational therapy. Additionally, frozen peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples from this trial and CNCT19 monotherapy studies for R/R LBCL were used to evaluate the impact of the combination therapy on the in vivo behavior of CNCT19 cells. RESULTS: A total of 25 patients with R/R LBCL were enrolled in this study. The overall response and complete response rates were 92.0% and 72.0%, respectively. The 2-year progression-free survival rate was 62.3%, and the overall survival was 68.5% after a median follow-up of 27.0 months. No unexpected toxicities were observed. All cases of cytokine release syndrome were of low grade. Two cases (8%) experienced grade 3 or higher CAR T-cell-related encephalopathy syndrome. The comparison of CNCT19 in vivo behavior showed that patients in the combinational therapy group exhibited enhanced in vivo expansion of CNCT19 cells and reduced long-term exhaustion formation, as opposed to those receiving CNCT19 monotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: The combinational therapy of HDT/ASCT and CNCT19 demonstrates impressive efficacy, improved CNCT19 behavior, and a favorable safety profile. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS: ChiCTR1900025419 and NCT04690192.

Patients with refractory immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) frequently encounter substantial bleeding risks and demonstrate limited responsiveness to existing therapies. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) present a promising alternative, capitalizing on their low immunogenicity and potent immunomodulatory effects for treating diverse autoimmune disorders. This prospective phase I trial enrolled eighteen eligible patients to explore the safety and efficacy of UC-MSCs in treating refractory ITP. The research design included administering UC-MSCs at escalating doses of 0.5 × 106 cells/kg, 1.0 × 106 cells/kg, and 2.0 × 106 cells/kg weekly for four consecutive weeks across three cohorts during the dose-escalation phase, followed by a dose of 2.0 × 106 cells/kg weekly for the dose-expansion phase. Adverse events, platelet counts, and changes in peripheral blood immunity were monitored and recorded throughout the administration and follow-up period. Ultimately, 12 (with an addition of three patients in the 2.0 × 106 cells/kg group due to dose-limiting toxicity) and six patients were enrolled in the dose-escalation and dose-expansion phase, respectively. Thirteen patients (13/18, 72.2%) experienced one or more treatment emergent adverse events. Serious adverse events occurred in four patients (4/18, 22.2%), including gastrointestinal hemorrhage (2/4), profuse menstruation (1/4), and acute myocardial infarction (1/4). The response rates were 41.7% in the dose-escalation phase (5/12, two received 1.0 × 106 cells/kg per week, and three received 2.0 × 106 cells/kg per week) and 50.0% (3/6) in the dose-expansion phase. The overall response rate was 44.4% (8/18) among all enrolled patients. To sum up, UC-MSCs are effective and well tolerated in treating refractory ITP (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04014166).

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the preventive effect of low-dose porcine anti-thymocyte globulin (P-ATG) on graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients' donors over 40 years old or female donors undergoing HLA-matched sibling donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (MSD-HSCT). METHODS: The clinical data of 30 patients received Low-dose Porcine antithymocyte globulin (P-ATG) as a part of the conditioning regimen (the P-ATG group), while the other 30 patients didn't receive ATG (the Non-ATG group). RESULTS: There was a significant difference in the incidence of aGVHD ([23.3 (10.1-39.7) %] vs [50.0 (30.8-66.5) %], P = 0.028), grade II-IV aGVHD ([16.7 (5.94-32.1) %] vs [40.0 (22.4-57.0) %], P = 0.049) and chronic GVHD (cGVHD) ([22.4 (6.03-45.1) %] vs [69.0 (43.4-84.8) %], P = 0.001) between two groups. But there was no significant difference in terms of moderate-severe cGVHD (P = 0.129), 1-year relapse rate (P = 0.742), non-relapse mortality (P = 0.237), or overall survival (P = 0.441). CONCLUSION: The application of low-dose P-ATG in patients/donors over 40 years old or female donors undergoing MSD-HSCT for hematological malignancy can significantly reduce the incidence of aGVHD, grade II-IV aGVHD and cGVHD, doesn't increase the risk of relapse.

Background: The development of factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitor is a severe complication during replacement therapy for hemophilia A patients. Objectives: We investigated the potential risk factors for FVIII inhibitor formation based on genome-wide RNA-sequencing and whole-genome bisulfite sequencing analysis. Methods: RNA-sequencing and whole-genome bisulfite sequencing analysis were applied on 17 blood samples with F8 intron 22 inversion, including seven with inhibitors and 10 without. Results: Altogether, 344 mRNA transcripts and 20 long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) transcripts were differentially expressed. Among the differentially expressed transcripts, 200 mRNAs and 12 lncRNAs were upregulated, and 144 mRNAs and eight lncRNAs were downregulated. Gene ontology enrichment analysis of differentially expressed mRNAs showed that genes involved in immune stimulation, especially those for T-cell activation, were upregulated, whereas genes involved in negative immune response regulation were downregulated. Coexpression analysis revealed that the targeted upregulated genes of differentially expressed lncRNA were similarly closely related to immune activation, especially T-cell activation. Methylation analysis showed inhibitor patients exhibited a slightly lower methylation status in the CpG islands, 5' untranslated region, and exon regions (p < 0.01). Genes with differentially methylated regions were also related to T-cell activation. Conclusions: There is an upregulation of genes involved in activation of the immune system in hemophilia A patients with inhibitors. The lncRNA and methylation modifications may play important roles in inhibitor production. These findings are potentially to reveal novel therapeutic targets for prevention and treatment of inhibitors.
RESUMEN
Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a common complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The incidence is about 7% to 68%, and some patients have to suffer a long period of frequent, urgent, and painful urination, which brings great pain. This study aimed to analyze risk factors of HC and its effect on patient survival. We collected the medical records of 859 patients who underwent HSCT at our hospital between August 2016 and August 2020. Patients with and without HC were matched using propensity score matching at a 1:1 ratio based on sex, age, and diagnosis, and logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with HC. We used Kaplan-Meier curves to analyze the survival rates of patients in the HC and non-HC groups. We also analyzed the relationship between BK viral load and the occurrence of HC using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis. After propensity score matching, there were 131 patients each in the HC and non-HC groups. In the HC group, 89 patients (67.9%) had mild HC (stage II°) and 43 (32.1%) had severe HC (stage III-IV). The median interval between stem cell transplantation and HC development was 31 (3-244) days. Univariate analysis indicated that donor age, hematopoietic stem cell source, HLA, acute graft-versus-host disease, busulfan, anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), total body irradiation, cytomegalovirus (CMV) (urine), and BK polyomavirus (BKV) (urine) were significantly associated with HC. ATG, CMV (urine), and BKV (urine) were independent risk factors for HC based on the multivariate analysis. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed no significant difference between the HC and non-HC groups (Pâ=â.14). The 1- and 2-year survival rates in the HC group were 78.4% and 69.6%, respectively, and the corresponding rates in the non-HC group were 84.4% and 80.7%, respectively. ROC analysis indicated that a urine BKV load of 1â×â107âcopies/mL was able to stratify the risk of HC. In conclusion, when the BKV load is >1â×â107, we need to be aware of the potential for the development of HC.
RESUMEN
Very few reports elucidate the prognosis of patients with TP53 aberrations using both measurable residual disease (MRD) and the status of having undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). In this study, aberrations of TP53 were analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) ALL enrolled in a prospective single-arm clinical trial at our leukemia center. We analyzed the survival of the patients grouped according to the MRD level at the third month and whether or not received allo-SCT. We found that allo-SCT could improve the OS in patients with TP53 aberrations; Patients having negative MRD at the third month still showed worse 3-year OS and 3-year DFS without undergoing allo-SCT, which is different from previous studies, moreover, the prognostic significance of TP53 deletions was as important as TP53 mutations, the importance of screening both TP53 deletions and mutations in adult Ph- ALL at diagnosis should be emphasized.
RESUMEN
Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenström macroglobulinemia (LPL/WM) is a heterogeneous disease in which the role of immunoglobulin heavy-chain genes (IGHs) remains unknown. To determine the clinical relevance of the IGH repertoire in patients with LPL/WM, we performed immunoglobulin gene rearrangement and complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) analysis. The IGH variable gene (IGHV) repertoire was remarkably biased in LPL/WM. IGHV3-23, IGHV4-34, IGHV3-30, IGHV3-7, and IGHV3-74 accounted for one-half of the cohort's repertoire. Most cases (97.1%) were found to carry mutated IGHV genes, based on a 98% IGHV germline homology cutoff. IGHV3-30 was associated with long heavy chain CDR3, indicating there was specific antigen selection in LPL/WM. Patients with IGHV3-7 were significantly more likely to harbor the 6q deletion (P < .001) and an abnormal karyotype (P = .004). The IGHV hypermutation rate in patients with the MYD88 L265P mutation was significantly higher than that of wild-type patients (P = .050). IGHV3-23 and IGHV3-74 segments were more frequently detected in patients with MYD88-mutated LPL/WM (P = .050), whereas IGHV3-7 presented more frequently in MYD88 wild-type patients (P = .042). Patients with IGHV4, especially IGHV4-34, had higher levels of lactate dehydrogenase, and IGHV4 was a predictive marker of shorter progression-free survival. These results showed for the first time that the IGHV repertoire has clinical relevance in LPL/WM.

Although the concept of "myeloid neoplasm continuum" has long been proposed, few comparative genomics studies directly tested this hypothesis. Here we report a multi-modal data analysis of 730 consecutive newly diagnosed patients with primary myeloid neoplasm, along with 462 lymphoid neoplasm cases serving as the outgroup. Our study identified a "Pan-Myeloid Axis" along which patients, genes, and phenotypic features were all aligned in sequential order. Utilizing relational information of gene mutations along the Pan-Myeloid Axis improved prognostic accuracy for complete remission and overall survival in adult patients of de novo acute myeloid leukemia and for complete remission in adult patients of myelodysplastic syndromes with excess blasts. We submit that better understanding of the myeloid neoplasm continuum might shed light on how treatment should be tailored to individual diseases. Significance: The current criteria for disease diagnosis treat myeloid neoplasms as a group of distinct, separate diseases. This work provides genomics evidence for a "myeloid neoplasm continuum" and suggests that boundaries between myeloid neoplastic diseases are much more blurred than previously thought.

Minimal residual disease (MRD) levels monitored by polymerase chain reaction are associated with outcomes in acute myeloid leukemia with RUNX1-RUNX1T1. The objectives of our study were to quantitatively compare the predictive value of MRD reduction and absolute copies and assess the influence of other prognostic factors on MRD. A total of 224 consecutive patients with RUNX1-RUNX1T1 aged ≤55 years were included in the MRD study. Patients received different induction regimens including conventional- or intermediate-dose cytarabine plus low-dose daunorubicin and omacetaxine mepesuccinate or daunorubicin at 60 mg/m2/day on days 1-3. As continuous variables, both MRD reduction and absolute MRD level were significantly associated with cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR; hazard ratio [HR]â¯=â¯1.610, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.370-1.890, p < 0.001, and HRâ¯=â¯1.170, 95% CI: 1.120-1.230, p < 0.001, respectively). For the CIR, the area under the curves (AUCs) of MRD reduction and absolute MRD level after the first consolidation chemotherapy were 0.629 and 0.629, respectively. Intermediate-dose cytarabine induction (HRâ¯=â¯0.494; pâ¯=â¯0.039 for CIR, HR, 0.451; pâ¯=â¯0.014 for RFS, and HR, 0.262; pâ¯=â¯0.006 for OS) remained significantly associated with outcomes after adjusting for MRD reduction after the first consolidation therapy (HRâ¯=â¯1.456, p < 0.001, for CIR; HRâ¯=â¯1.467, pâ¯=â¯0.001, for relapse-free survival; and HRâ¯=â¯1.468, pâ¯=â¯0.014, for overall survival) in multivariate analyses. In conclusion, the prognostic significance of MRD after the first consolidation therapy was influenced by the induction regimen in acute myeloid leukemia with RUNX1-RUNX1T1.

BACKGROUND: Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine know that auricular point acupressure (APP) using vaccaria seeds on the large intestine point (CO7) has a significant effect on postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction. A standardized, clinical, research design will transform this clinical experience into scientific evidence, thus providing a basis to promote the wider use of this therapy. We aim to carry out a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of APP treatment for gastrointestinal dysfunction after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS/DESIGN: This study is a randomized, double-blind, controlled, single-center, clinical, pilot trial. It has been designed according to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT 2010) guidelines as well as the Standards for Reporting Interventions in Controlled Trials of Acupuncture (STRICTA). Study subjects are being selected from among hospitalized patients who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the Department of Minimally Invasive Surgery of Tianjin Nankai Hospital. Qualified subjects will be assigned randomly either to the APP group or to the APP sham stimulation group on the basis of random numbers generated using SPSS 19.0. A specifically appointed investigator will be responsible for the randomization. The APP therapy (or sham stimulation) will be performed 6 h after surgery and every 12 h subsequently; six sessions will be conducted, each lasting 3 min. The first evaluation will be performed immediately before the first treatment (6 h after surgery) and, then, every 12 h for seven evaluations. The primary outcome is the time to first passage of flatus after surgery; the secondary outcome measures are abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, time to first defecation, psychological status, and quality of life. DISCUSSION: This pilot trial is a standardized, scientific, clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of APP treatment-using vaccaria seeds on CO7-for gastrointestinal dysfunction after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We aim to provide objective evidence to promote this therapy in clinical practice. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR-IPR-15007643 . Registered on 14 December 2015.
