RESUMO
PURPOSE: Sensory chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is well-recognized, but motor CIPN remains understudied. This secondary analysis focused on the long-term severity and impact of motor disorders, their relation to sensory CIPN, neuropathic pain, psychological distress, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors. METHODS: Data from a multicenter, cross-sectional study were re-analyzed to explore motor CIPN among CRC survivors up to 5 years post-chemotherapy, with no longitudinal follow-up. Questionnaires assessed sensory and motor CIPN (QLQ-CIPN20), neuropathic pain (DN4), anxiety and depression (HADS), and HRQoL (QLQ-C30). RESULTS: Among 405 CRC survivors, 31.1% had sensory CIPN as previously described. When categorizing the 405 CRC survivors based on the years since their last oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, the motor scores derived from the QLQ-CIPN20 showed no significant difference between years (p = 0.08). Motor CIPN scores correlated with female gender, higher oxaliplatin dose intensity, sensory CIPN, and neuropathic pain. Motor CIPN also linked to decreased HRQoL and increased psychological distress. CONCLUSION: The study underscores the detrimental impact of motor disorders on CRC survivors post-oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Oncologists should prioritize assessing and managing motor manifestations alongside sensory symptoms to enhance post-cancer quality of life.

Conventional therapies for patients with T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL), such as cytotoxic chemotherapy and alemtuzumab, have limited efficacy and considerable toxicity. Several novel agent classes have demonstrated preclinical activity in T-PLL, including inhibitors of the JAK/STAT and T-cell receptor pathways, as well as histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors. Recently, the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax also showed some clinical activity in T-PLL. We sought to characterize functional apoptotic dependencies in T-PLL to identify a novel combination therapy in this disease. Twenty-four samples from patients with primary T-PLL were studied by using BH3 profiling, a functional assay to assess the propensity of a cell to undergo apoptosis (priming) and the relative dependence of a cell on different antiapoptotic proteins. Primary T-PLL cells had a relatively low level of priming for apoptosis and predominantly depended on BCL-2 and MCL-1 proteins for survival. Selective pharmacologic inhibition of BCL-2 or MCL-1 induced cell death in primary T-PLL cells. Targeting the JAK/STAT pathway with the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib or HDAC with belinostat both independently increased dependence on BCL-2 but not MCL-1, thereby sensitizing T-PLL cells to venetoclax. Based on these results, we treated 2 patients with refractory T-PLL with a combination of venetoclax and ruxolitinib. We observed a deep response in JAK3-mutated T-PLL and a stabilization of the nonmutated disease. Our functional, precision-medicine-based approach identified inhibitors of HDAC and the JAK/STAT pathway as promising combination partners for venetoclax, warranting a clinical exploration of such combinations in T-PLL.

Familial forms of monoclonal gammopathy, defined as multiple myeloma (MM) or Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS), are relatively infrequent and most series reported in the literature describe a limited number of families. MM rarely occurs in a familial context. MGUS is observed much more commonly, which can in some cases evolve toward full-blown MM. Although recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities have been described in tumor cells of sporadic cases of MM, the pathogenesis of familial MM remains largely unexplained. In order to identify genetic factors predisposing to familial monoclonal gammopathy, the Intergroupe Francophone du Myélome identified 318 families with at least two confirmed cases of monoclonal gammopathy. There were 169 families with parent/child pairs and 164 families with cases in at least two siblings, compatible with an autosomal transmission. These familial cases were compared with sporadic cases who were matched for age at diagnosis, sex and immunoglobulin isotype, with 10 sporadic cases for each familial case. The gender distribution, age and immunoglobulin subtypes of familial cases were unremarkable in comparison to sporadic cases. With a median follow-up of 7.4 years after diagnosis, the percentage of MGUS cases having evolved to MM was 3%. The median overall survival of the 148 familial MM cases was longer than that of matched sporadic cases, with projected values of 7.6 and 16.1 years in patients older and younger than 65 years, respectively. These data suggest that familial cases of monoclonal gammopathy are similar to sporadic cases in terms of clinical presentation and carry a better prognosis.

Follicular lymphomas (FLs) with MYC rearrangements (MYC-R) and extra copies of MYC (MYC-EC) are rare and the prognosis impact is uncertain. We conducted a retrospective study including 321 FL patients, among whom 259 (81%) had no 8q24 alterations and 62 (19%) were assigned to 8qAlt. Forty-five cases were classified as MYC-EC and six as MYC-R. MYC-R patients were significantly older (P = 0·008), had higher follicular lymphoma international prognostic index (FLIPI) stage (P = 0·05) and ß2-microglobulin (ß2m; P = 0·05). Among patients treated with immuno-chemotherapy, four presented a MYC-R and 25 a MYC-EC. Univariate analysis showed the absence of significant difference between MYC-EC and normal MYC (MYC-NL) regarding progression-free survival (PFS; HR1·3; 95% CI [0·4-1·6]) and specific overall survival (SOS; HR 1·6; 95% CI [0·4-5·7]). Those results were compared to data from the PRIMA trial. This confirmed that MYC-EC had no impact on PFS (P = 0·86) or SOS (P = 0·9). Conversely, MYC-R was associated with a trend to inferior outcome regarding PFS (HR : 6·1; 95% CI [2·2-17·1]; P = 0·00026), lymphoma-related death (SOS; HR 13·6; 95% CI [2·9-65]; P = 0·00014) and risk of transformation (transformation-free survival (TFS); HR 82·7; 95% CI [14·8-463·4]; P < 0·0001). In conclusion, MYC-EC has no prognostic impact in FL but MYC-R FL tended to be associated with an increased risk of transformation and poorer outcome.

Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents are generally the first line of treatment of anemia in patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. We prospectively investigated the predictive value of somatic mutations, and biomarkers of ineffective erythropoiesis including the flow cytometry RED score, serum growth-differentiation factor-15, and hepcidin levels. Inclusion criteria were no prior treatment with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, low- or intermediate-1-risk myelodysplastic syndrome according to the International Prognostic Scoring System, and a hemoglobin level <10 g/dL. Patients could be red blood cell transfusion-dependent or not and were given epoetin zeta 40 000 IU/week. Serum erythropoietin level, iron parameters, hepcidin, flow cytometry Ogata and RED scores, and growth-differentiation factor-15 levels were determined at baseline, and molecular analysis by next-generation sequencing was also conducted. Erythroid response (defined according to the International Working Group 2006 criteria) was assessed at week 12. Seventy patients, with a median age of 78 years, were included in the study. There were 22 patients with refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia, 19 with refractory cytopenia with unilineage dysplasia, 14 with refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts, four with refractory anemia with excess blasts-1, six with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, two with del5q-and three with unclassifiable myelodysplastic syndrome. According to the revised International Prognostic Scoring System, 13 had very low risk, 47 had low risk, nine intermediate risk and one had high-risk disease. Twenty patients were transfusion dependent. Forty-eight percent had an erythroid response and the median duration of the response was 26 months. At baseline, non-responders had significantly higher RED scores and lower hepcidin:ferritin ratios. In multivariate analysis, only a RED score >4 (P=0.05) and a hepcidin:ferritin ratio <9 (P=0.02) were statistically significantly associated with worse erythroid response. The median response duration was shorter in patients with growth-differentiation factor-15 >2000 pg/mL and a hepcidin:ferritin ratio <9 (P=0.0008 and P=0.01, respectively). In multivariate analysis, both variables were associated with shorter response duration. Erythroid response to epoetin zeta was similar to that obtained with other erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and was correlated with higher baseline hepcidin:ferritin ratio and lower RED score. ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT 03598582.

The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is higher in myeloma patients receiving immunomodulatory compounds. A VTE prophylaxis using low-molecular-weight heparin or aspirin is therefore proposed. Apixaban is an oral direct anti-Xa. Several studies have shown the efficacy and safety of apixaban in VTE prophylaxis compared to enoxaparin. The objective of this prospective phase 2 pilot study was to assess the risk of VTE and bleeding in patients with myeloma treated with immunomodulatory compounds lenalidomide (len) or thalidomide (thal), using apixaban in a preventive scheme. Myeloma patients requiring Melphalan-Prednisone-Thalidomide in the first line, or Lenalidomide-Dexamethasone in the relapse setting received apixaban, 2.5 mg x 2/day for 6 months. Venous (pulmonary embolism-PE, or symptomatic proximal or distal deep vein thrombosis-DVT, or all proximal asymptomatic events detected by systematic proximal bilateral compression ultrasound) or arterial thrombotic events, and bleeding events (ISTH 2005) were registered. One hundred and four patients were enrolled (mean age 69.8 ± 7.8 years), 11 in first line and 93 in relapse. Two venous thrombotic events were observed, for example, an asymptomatic proximal DVT and a symptomatic distal DVT, in the context of apixaban stopped 14 days before, due to lenalidomide-induced thrombocytopenia. No PE or arterial cardiovascular events were reported. Only one major and 11 CRNM hemorrhages were reported. These data must now be confirmed on a randomized large study.

INTRODUCTION: Considering the notable advances made in the treatment of lymphoma, assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of lymphoma patients has become a critical aspect to consider both in clinical research and routine practice. However, there is paucity of information about lymphoma specific HRQoL profile at diagnosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: HRQoL at diagnosis was assessed for 3922 adult patients with newly diagnosed high-grade (HG) (n = 1994), low-grade (LG) (n = 1053) non-Hodgkin (NHL) and Hodgkin (HL) (n = 875) lymphomas included in REal world dAta in LYmphoma and Survival in Adults (REALYSA, NCT03869619), a prospective non-interventional multicentric cohort in France. Disease-specific HRQoL aspects were assessed with three validated EORTC questionnaires, namely, the QLQ-NHL-HG29, the QLQ-NHL-LG20 and the QLQ-HL27, for patients with NHL-HG, NHL-LG and HL, respectively. RESULTS: We confirmed the high-level of completion of these questionnaires in REALYSA cohort, ranging from 84 % for QLQ-HG29 to 88 % for QLQ-HL27. The proportion of patients with impaired global health status was as follows: T-cell NHL, 67 %; diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL), 62 %; Burkitt, 61 %; HL, 53 %; marginal zone, 49 %; mantle cell, 48 %; follicular, 47 %. Multivariable regression analyses for DLBCL, follicular and HL showed that gender, performance status and B symptoms were independently associated with all HRQoL dimensions. However, a variable effect of age and stage were observed among these three subtypes. CONCLUSIONS: A comprehensive analysis was made describing the HRQoL profile of newly diagnosed patients with different types of lymphomas. Our data may help to enhance the interpretation of HRQoL results in future studies using the recently validated EORTC lymphoma specific questionnaires.

ABSTRACT: Real-world data (RWD) are essential to complement clinical trial (CT) data, but major challenges remain, such as data quality. REal world dAta in LYmphoma and Survival in Adults (REALYSA) is a prospective noninterventional multicentric cohort started in 2018 that included patients newly diagnosed with lymphoma in France. Herein is a proof-of-concept analysis on patients with first-line diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) to (1) evaluate the capacity of the cohort to provide robust data through a multistep validation process; (2) assess the consistency of the results; and (3) conduct an exploratory transportability assessment of 2 recent phase 3 CTs (POLARIX and SENIOR). The analysis population comprised 645 patients with DLBCL included before 31 March 2021 who received immunochemotherapy and for whom 3589 queries were generated, resulting in high data completeness (<4% missing data). Median age was 66 years, with mostly advanced-stage disease and high international prognostic index (IPI) score. Treatments were mostly rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP 75%) and reduced dose R-CHOP (13%). Estimated 1-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival rates were 77.9% and 90.0%, respectively (median follow-up, 9.9 months). Regarding transportability, when applying the CT's main inclusion criteria (age, performance status, and IPI), outcomes seemed comparable between patients in REALYSA and standard arms of POLARIX (1-year progression-free survival 79.8% vs 79.8%) and SENIOR (1-year EFS, 64.5% vs 60.0%). With its rigorous data validation process, REALYSA provides high-quality RWD, thus constituting a platform for numerous scientific purposes. The REALYSA study was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03869619.

Oxaliplatin, a pivotal drug in the management of colorectal cancer, causes chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in a third of cancer survivors. Based on a previous cross-sectional study assessing oxaliplatin-related sensory CIPN in colorectal cancer survivors, a secondary analysis was designed to explore the possibility that different clusters of patients may co-exist among a cohort of patients with oxaliplatin-related CIPN. Other objectives were to characterize these clusters considering CIPN severity, anxiety, depression, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), patients' characteristics and oxaliplatin treatments. Among the 96 patients analyzed, three clusters were identified (cluster 1: 52, cluster 2: 34, and cluster 3: 10 patients). Clusters were significantly different according to CIPN severity and the proportion of neuropathic pain (cluster 1: low, cluster 2: intermediate, and cluster 3: high). Anxiety, depressive disorders and HRQOL alteration were lower in cluster 1 in comparison to clusters 2 and 3, but not different between clusters 2 and 3. This study underlines that patients with CIPN are not a homogenous group, and that CIPN severity is associated with psychological distress and a decline of HRQOL. Further studies are needed to explore the relation between clusters and CIPN management.
RESUMO
PURPOSE OF THE REPORT: We aimed to evaluate the role of 18F-FDG PET/CT in predicting patient outcome following chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cells infusion in aggressive B-cell lymphoma. METHODS: 18F-FDG PET/CT data before leukapheresis, before CAR T-cell infusion and 1 month (M1) after CAR T-cell infusion, from 72 patients were retrospectively analyzed. SUVmax, total lesion glycolysis (TLG), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and parameters describing tumor kinetics were calculated for each 18F-FDG PET/CT performed. The aim was to evaluate the prognostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters for predicting progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) following CAR T-cell therapy. RESULTS: Regarding PFS, ∆MTVpre-CAR and ∆TLGpre-CAR were found to be more discriminating compared with metabolic parameters at preinfusion. Median PFS in patients with a ∆MTVpre-CAR of less than 300% was 6.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.8 months to not reached) compared with 2.8 months (95% CI, 0.9-3.0 months) for those with a value of 300% or greater (P = 0.004). Likewise, median PFS in patients with ∆TLGpre-CAR of less than 420% was 6.8 months (95% CI, 2.8 months to not reached) compared with 2.7 months (95% CI, 1.3-3.0 months) for those with a value of 420% or greater (P = 0.0148). Regarding OS, metabolic parameters at M1 were strongly associated with subsequent outcome. SUVmax at M1 with a cutoff value of 14 was the most predictive parameter in multivariate analysis, outweighing other clinicobiological variables (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Disease metabolic volume kinetics before infusion of CAR T cells seems to be superior to initial tumor bulk itself for predicting PFS. For OS, SUVmax at M1 might adequately segregate patients with different prognosis.

(1) Background: Oxaliplatin is among the most neurotoxic anticancer drugs. Little data are available on the long-term prevalence and consequences of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), even though the third largest population of cancer survivors is made up of survivors of colorectal cancer. (2) Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted in 16 French centers to assess the prevalence of CIPN, as well as its consequences (neuropathic pain, anxiety, depression, and quality of life) in cancer survivors during the 5 years after the end of adjuvant oxaliplatin chemotherapy. (3) Results: Out of 406 patients, the prevalence of CIPN was 31.3% (95% confidence interval: 26.8-36.0). Little improvement in CIPN was found over the 5 years, and 36.5% of patients with CIPN also had neuropathic pain. CIPN was associated with anxiety, depression, and deterioration of quality of life. None of the patients with CIPN were treated with duloxetine (recommendation from American Society of Clinical Oncology), and only 3.2%, 1.6%, and 1.6% were treated with pregabalin, gabapentin, and amitriptyline, respectively. (4) Conclusions: Five years after the end of chemotherapy, a quarter of patients suffered from CIPN. The present study showed marked psychological distress and uncovered a failure in management in these patients.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to identify actionable genomic alterations in the gynaecological subpopulation of the ProfiLER programme and to report clinical efficacy of recommended targeted treatment (RTT). METHODS: The ProfiLER programme (NCT01774409) is a multicentric prospective trial aiming to implement molecular profiling in patients with advanced refractory cancers. In this programme, tumour DNA is analysed by targeted next-generation sequencing (69 genes) and by whole genome array comparative genomic hybridisation. Clinical cases and genomic profiles are presented in a dedicated molecular tumour board to guide treatment strategies. We report here an analysis of patients with gynaecological cancers included in this trial. RESULTS: From February 2013 to February 2017, 309 patients with gynaecologic cancer were included; 279 (90%) had sufficient quality, and 131 patients (42.4%) had at least one actionable genomic alteration in cancer cells. Four alterations were shared by at least 3% of the patients: 27 (9.7%) PIK3CA mutations, 15 (5.4%) KRAS mutations, 11 (3.9%) ERBB2 amplifications and 9 (3.2%) CDKN2A deletions. Forty-one treatments were initiated among 39 patients (12.6% of the screened population): 8 (20%) had a partial response, and other 10 (24%) had a stable disease. The median progression-free survival was 2.7 months. The median overall survival was 15.6 months for patients who received a RTT. CONCLUSION: Molecular profiling identified actionable alterations in 42.4% of patients with advanced refractory gynaecologic cancer, but only 12.6% were treated with a RTT. Among them, 46% derived clinical benefit (5.8% of the screened population).

INTRODUCTION: Use of anthracyclines is often limited in older patients due to cardiac and hematologic toxicities. Thanks to its reduced toxicity profile, Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD) allows an extended use of doxorubicin to this population. We aimed at modeling PLD-induced hematotoxicity in patients with metastatic breast cancer ≥70 years old and at finding predictive factors of neutrophil nadir value. METHODS: Sixty patients, enrolled in the DOGMES prospective multicentric phase II trial, were treated with PLD at 40mg/m(2) every 28days during six cycles. Trial design included geriatric covariates assessment at inclusion and monitoring of cells count every week for three cycles. A population model was developed to describe hematopoiesis and hematopoietic reserve in these patients. The effect of co-administered G-CSF (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor) was also examined. RESULTS: A pharmacodynamic model was built using data from 53 patients not receiving G-CSF. This model assumed an instantaneous effect of PLD on the system. Based on this model, exact neutrophil nadir value was computed and ranged between 0.069K/mm(3) and 2.63K/mm(3) confirming the weak hematotoxicity of PLD. The same model was then applied to the 7 patients receiving G-CSF and showed that basal neutrophil count was higher for these patients. No other difference was found between both cohorts. Among the covariates collected, three were predictive of neutrophil nadir value: diabetes, frailty syndrome and assistance at home. CONCLUSION: This developed model allowed the identification of predictive factors of nadir ANC and the identification of patients that are more likely to develop hematotoxicity that should be monitored with attention.

Our aim was to examine indices of cardiorespiratory capacity at rest and during exercise before initiation of therapy for Hodgkin's disease. We prospectively studied 24 patients divided into two groups according to the disease stage. Group 1 included eight patients in stage IA and four in stage IIA; group 2 included four patients in stage IIB, six in stage III, and two in stage IV. All patients underwent detailed cardiopulmonary evaluations at rest using electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, spirometry, and measurement of pulmonary diffusing capacity (DLCO), and during exercise using a cardiopulmonary exercise test. Groups 1 and 2 were similar with respect to sex distribution (eight women and four men in each), mean age (35+/-36 vs37+/-4.6 years), body mass index, and hemoglobin concentration (12.7+/-0.2 vs 12.1+/-0.3 g l-1). All patients had a normal cardiovascular status. All patients in group 1 had normal cardiorespiratory measurements at rest and during exercise. Forced vital capacity was significantly lower in group 2 (84.8+/-2.7% predicted) than in group 1 (105+/-3%, P<0.0001), without abnormalities in DLCO or in resting and exercise oxygen diffusion. Likewise, percentage predicted VO2max (65+/-4 vs 97+/-6, P<0.0002), oxygen pulse at peak exercise (0.12+/-0.01 vs 0.17+/-0.01, P<0.001), and DeltaVO2/DeltaW slope (8.4+/-0.3 vs 10.2+/-0.4, P<0.003) were significantly lower in group 2 than in group 1. Functional capacity during exercise was markedly reduced in patients suffering from Hodgkin's disease in advanced stages. This loss of exercise capacity appeared mainly related to a peripheral disorder.
