RESUMO

Aggressive types of adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL), namely, the acute type, lymphoma type, and chronic type with poor prognostic factors, have a poor prognosis. Although allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) may improve prognosis, relapse is common. In June 2021, tucidinostat was approved for relapsed or refractory ATL in Japan. We report a case of a 62-year-old man with relapsed ATL after allogeneic HSCT. In March 2017, he was diagnosed with ATL (acute type) and received two courses of mLSG-15 therapy. ATL cells reappeared in his peripheral blood, so he underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in September 2017. In June 2021, his soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) level increased, and he began experiencing sensory abnormalities in his face and legs. In September, he developed respiratory failure and was diagnosed with relapse of ATL. He was again treated with mLSG-15. His sIL-2R normalized and the sensory abnormalities decreased, but sIL-2R rose again in February 2022. After tucidinostat treatment was initiated, sIL-2R normalized and the patient's general condition improved. Tucidinostat shows promise as an effective treatment for ATL that has relapsed after allogeneic HSCT.

RESUMO

A 69-year-old man with an unremarkable medical history presented with asymptomatic pancytopenia and diagnosed with Bence Jones protein-λ multiple myeloma (MM). Despite treatment with various chemotherapeutic regimens, myelosuppressive neutropenia occurred after each successive course; therefore, the treatment was determined to be ineffective and was discontinued. Consequently, one year after the diagnosis, a daratumumab-based therapy was initiated, and the MM was stabilized without clinical or laboratory evidences of myelosuppression. However, 18 months after the daratumumab induction, the patient developed hematochezia. Following an unremarkable lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, he presented fever and disturbed consciousness. Serum laboratory results showed liver dysfunction, and Listeria monocytogenes meningitis was diagnosed by cerebrospinal fluid examination. Empiric antibacterial treatment was administered for 3 weeks, which resolved the symptoms with no permanent neurological deficit.Daratumumab, a CD38 monoclonal antibodies, binds to expressed CD38 on myeloma cells and has an anti-myeloma cytotoxic effect but also binds to CD38 on activated macrophages. Additionally, activated macrophages play an important role in the immune defense of Listeria monocytogenes. Furthermore, inactivation of macrophages may increase the susceptibility to Listeria infection. Therefore, the possibility of infections such as Listeria meningitis should be considered in patients with MM receiving daratumumab-based therapy.

RESUMO

Most hematologic diseases are immunosuppressed, either by the disease itself or by treatment. As such, the implementation of vaccination is largely at the discretion of the attending physician. In this context, an objective measure is needed, therefore the index of vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in B-cell lymphomas treated with antibody therapy against CD20 (including after the completion of therapy) was examined. A total of 40 patients with B-cell lymphoma during or after antibody therapy against CD20 were vaccinated twice with the BNT162b2 messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer, Inc. and BioNTech SE.) at 3-week intervals and then again six months later with the same vaccine or mRNA-1273 (Moderna, Inc.). Antibody testing was conducted ~1 month after the third vaccination. Analysis was performed using the antibody titers to the anti-spike immunoglobulin assay, with a titer of 0.8 U/ml or higher (considered positive) and a titer of 264 U/ml or higher (considered the value at which the efficacy of the vaccine can be fully expected). Significant factors of antibody acquisition were identified when i) antibody titers were 0.8 U/ml or higher (CD4 ≥400/µl), ii) no anti-CD20 antibody maintenance therapy was undertaken (CD19 ≥100/µl), iii) patients were not on treatment (CD4 ≥400/µl), or 4) at least six months had passed since treatment ended (CD19 ≥100/µl). When antibody titers were 264 U/ml or higher, the treatment method, the stage of the primary disease and other factors related to the condition treatment method of the patient were relevant. When these were analyzed by multivariate analysis, the significant factor when antibody titers were set to 0.8 U/ml was CD19 ≥100/µl. In contrast, when setting them to 264 U/ml or higher, CD4 ≥400/µl was not significant, but there was a tendency for it to be related. The findings of the present study on vaccine-induced antibody acquisition in patients with B-cell lymphoma indicated that it is desirable to have a CD19 titer of at least 100/µl and a CD4 titer of at least 400/µl (both conditions should be met), and that no maintenance therapy with anti-CD20 antibody should be administered for at least six months after the last treatment or completion of the treatment. Interestingly, when the criteria for antibody titers were compared between 0.8 U/ml, where antibody titer is detected, and 264 U/ml, where vaccine efficacy is expected, several key factors were different. It is possible that these key factors may change depending on the antibody titer used as a criterion.
