RESUMO

Growing evidence suggests that gain or amplification [gain/amp(1q)] accumulates during disease progression of multiple myeloma (MM). Previous investigations have indicated that small gain/amp(1q) subclones present at the time of diagnosis may evolve into dominant clones upon MM relapse. However, the influence of a minor clone of gain/amp(1q) on MM survival, as well as the correlation between different clonal sizes of gain/amp(1q) and the chromosomal instability (CIN) of MM, remains poorly understood. In this study, we analyzed fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results of 998 newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients. 513 patients were detected with gain/amp(1q) at diagnosis. Among these 513 patients, 55 had a minor clone (≤20%) of gain/amp(1q). Patients with a minor clone of gain/amp(1q) displayed similar survival outcomes compared to those without gain/amp(1q). Further analysis demonstrated patients with a minor clone of gain/amp(1q) exhibited a clonal architecture similar to those without gain/amp(1q). Lastly, our results showed a significant increase in the clonal size of the minor clone of gain/amp(1q), frequently observed in MM. These findings suggested that a minor clone of gain/amp(1q) might represent an earlier stage in the pathogenesis of gain/amp(1q) and propose a "two-step" process in the clonal size changes of gain/amp(1q) in MM.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Over 50% of patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (r/r LBCL) receiving CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR19) T-cell therapy fail to achieve durable remission. Early identification of relapse or progression remains a significant challenge. In this study, we prospectively investigate the prognostic value of dynamic circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and track genetic evolution non-invasively, for the first time in an Asian population of r/r patients undergoing CAR19 T-cell therapy. METHODS: Longitudinal plasma samples were prospectively collected both before lymphodepletion and at multiple timepoints after CAR19 T-cell infusion. ctDNA was detected using a capture-based next-generation sequencing which has been validated in untreated LBCL. RESULTS: The study enrolled 23 patients with r/r LBCL and collected a total of 101 ctDNA samples. Higher pretreatment ctDNA levels were associated with inferior progression-free survival (PFS) (p=0.031) and overall survival (OS) (p=0.023). Patients with undetectable ctDNA negative (ctDNA-) at day 14 (D14) achieved an impressive 3-month complete response rate of 77.8% vs 22.2% (p=0.015) in patients with detectable ctDNA positive (ctDNA+), similar results observed for D28. CtDNA- at D28 predicted significantly longer 1-year PFS (90.9% vs 27.3%; p=0.004) and OS (90.9% vs 49.1%; p=0.003) compared with patients who remained ctDNA+. Notably, it is the first time to report that shorter ctDNA fragments (<170 base pairs) were significantly associated with poorer PFS (p=0.031 for D14; p=0.002 for D28) and OS (p=0.013 for D14; p=0.008 for D28) in patients with LBCL receiving CAR T-cell therapy. Multiple mutated genes exhibited an elevated prevalence among patients with progressive disease, including TP53, IGLL5, PIM1, BTG1, CD79B, GNA13, and P2RY8. Notably, we observed a significant correlation between IGLL5 mutation and inferior PFS (p=0.008) and OS (p=0.014). CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlights that dynamic ctDNA monitoring during CAR T-cell therapy can be a promising non-invasive method for early predicting treatment response and survival outcomes. Additionally, the ctDNA mutational profile provides novel insights into the mechanisms of tumor-intrinsic resistance to CAR19 T-cell therapy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains an effective treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The limited availability of carmustine has prompted the exploration of novel alternative conditioning regimens. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety profile of GBM/GBC (gemcitabine, busulfan, and melphalan or cyclophosphamide) conditioning compared with the standard BEAM/BEAC regimens (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan or cyclophosphamide) for ASCT in patients with NHL. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 231 NHL patients, who underwent ASCT from October 2010 to October 2021 at the Institute of Hematology & Blood Disease Hospital, including both first-line and salvage settings. This resulted in the inclusion of 112 patients in the GBM/GBC arm and 92 in the BEAM/BEAC arm. Propensity score matching was employed to validate the results. RESULTS: Disease subtype distribution was similar between the GBM/GBC and BEAM/BEAC groups, with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma being the most common (58.9% vs. 58.7%), followed by PTCL (17.0% vs. 18.5%) and MCL (14.3% vs. 14.1%). At 3 months post-ASCT, complete response (CR) rates were comparable (GBM/GBC 93.5% vs. BEAM/BEAC 91.1%; p = 0.607). The 4-year progression-free survival (78.4% vs. 82.3%; p = 0.455) and 4-year overall survival (88.1% vs. 87.7%; p = 0.575) were also similar. Both groups exhibited low non-relapse mortality at 4 years (GBM/GBC 1.8% vs. BEAM/BEAC 3.5%; p = 0.790) with no transplant-related mortalities reported. The GBM/GBC cohort demonstrated a higher incidence of grade 3/4 oral mucositis and hepatic toxicity, whereas the BEAM/BEAC group had more frequent cases of bacteremia or sepsis (13 cases vs. 5 in GBM/GBC). CONCLUSIONS: The GBM/GBC regimen is effective and well-tolerated, offering outcomes that are highly comparable to those in NHL patients conditioned with BEAM/BEAC, as demonstrated in a prognostically matched cohort.

RESUMO

Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) is a type of incurable, indolent B-cell lymphoma that is prone to relapse. Over time, treatment strategies have progressed from cytotoxic drugs to rituximab (R)- or bortezomib (V)-based regimens, and have now entered into an era of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi)-based regimens. However, the optimal treatment for the relapsed patients is still unclear. Herein, we analyzed the outcomes of the first- and second-line therapies in 377 patients with WM to illustrate the optimal choices for second-line therapy. After a median follow-up of 45.4 months, 89 patients received second-line therapy, and 53 patients were evaluated for response. The major response rates (MRR) of first- and second-line treatment were 65.1% and 67.9% (P = 0.678). The median progression-free survival (PFS) for the second-line therapy (PFS2) was shorter than that for the first-line therapy (PFS1) (56.3 vs 40.7 months, P = 0.03). However, PFS2 in targeted drugs group (R-/V-/BTKi-based regimens) was comparable to PFS1 (60.7 months vs 44.7 months, respectively, P = 0.21). Regarding second-line therapy, patients who underwent sequential treatment escalation-such as transitioning from cytotoxic drugs to R-/V-/BTKi-based regimens or from R-/V-based to BTKi-based regimens (escalation group) -had higher MRR (80.6% vs 47.1%, respectively, P = 0.023) and longer PFS2 (50.4 vs 23.5 months, respectively, P < 0.001) compared to the non-escalation group. Patients in the escalation group also had longer post-relapse overall survival compared with the non-escalation group (median, 50.4 vs 23.5 months, respectively, P = 0.039). Our findings indicate that sequential treatment escalation may improve the survival of patients with WM.

RESUMO

Current standard predictive models of disease risk do not adequately account for the heterogeneity of survival outcomes in patients with new-diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM). In this retrospective, multicohort study, we collected clinical and genetic data from 1792 NDMM patients and identified the prognostic impact of all features. Using the top-ranked predictive features, a weighted Myeloma Prognostic Score System (MPSS) risk model was formulated and validated to predict overall survival (OS). In the training cohort, elevated lactate dehydrogenase level (LDH), International Staging System (ISS) Stage III, thrombocytopenia, and cumulative high-risk cytogenetic aberration (HRA) numbers were found to have independent prognostic significance. Each risk factor was defined as its weighted value respectively according to their hazard ratio for OS (thrombocytopenia 2, elevated LDH 1, ISS III 2, one HRA 1, and ≥2 HRA 2, points). Patients were further stratified into four risk groups: MPSS I (22.5%, 0 points), II (17.6%, 1 points), III (38.6%, 2-3 points), and IV (21.3%, 4-7 points). MPSS risk stratification showed optimal discrimination, as well as calibration, of four risk groups with median OS of 91.0, 69.8, 45.0, and 28.0 months, for patients in MPSS I to IV groups (p < .001), respectively. Importantly, the MPSS model retained its prognostic value in the internal validation cohort and an independent external validation cohort, and exhibited significant risk distribution compared with conventional prognostic models (R-ISS, R2-ISS, and MASS). Utilization of the MPSS model in clinical practice could improve risk estimation in NDMM patients, thus prompting individualized treatment strategies.

RESUMO

Background: Deeper depth of response (DpR) after induction therapy, especially gain of negative minimal residual disease (MRD), has been linked to prolonged survival in multiple myeloma (MM). However, flow-MRD examination focuses on the numbers but not on the biological characteristics of residual plasma cells (PCs). Objectives: To explore whether the genetic features of residual tumor cells affect the survival time of patients with MM. Design: A retrospective cohort study. Methods: We investigated the clonality of cytogenetic abnormalities (CAs) of the residual PCs using interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (iFISH) in the National Longitudinal Cohort of Hematological Diseases in China (NCT04645199). Here, a longitudinal cohort of 269 patients with patient-paired diagnostic and post-induction iFISH results was analyzed. Results: Persistent CAs after induction therapy were detected in about half of the patients (118/269, 43%), and patients with undetectable CAs showed significantly improved survival compared with those with genetically detectable MRD [median progression-free survival (mPFS): 59.7 versus 35.7 months, p < 0.001; median overall survival (mOS): 97.1 versus 68.8 months, p = 0.011]. In addition, different patterns of therapy-induced clonal evolution were observed by comparing the clonal structure of residual PCs with paired baseline samples. Patients who maintained at a high risk during follow-up had the worst survival (mPFS: 30.5 months; mOS: 54.4 months), while those who returned to lower risk or had iFISH- at both time points had the best survival (mPFS: 62.0 months, mOS: not reached). Conclusion: These findings highlighted the prognostic value of genetic testing in residual tumor cells, which may provide a deep understanding of clonal evolution and guide clinical therapeutic strategies.


Study using fluorescence in situ hybridization (iFISH) to investigate the clonality of cytogenetic abnormalities of the residual plasma cells in multiple myeloma Gain of negative minimal residual disease (MRD) has been linked to prolonged survival in cancer treatment. However, in multiple myeloma (MM), detection of MRD-negativity (MRD-) using multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) only reflects the quantitative characteristics of residual plasma cells (PCs), while the biological and genetic features of MRD are neglected. To address this gap, our study has employed interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (iFISH) to evaluate the clonality of cytogenetic abnormalities (CAs) of the bone marrow residual PCs after induction therapy, in combined with MRD detection by MFC to predict the prognosis of MM patients. A total of 396 patients from the database of National Longitudinal Cohort of Hematological Diseases in China (ClinicalTrials.gov identifiers: NCT04645199) were enrolled. Persistent CAs after induction therapy were detected in about half of the patients (118/269, 43%), and patients with undetectable CAs showed significantly improved survival compared with those without genetically detectable MRD. In addition, different patterns of therapy-induced clonal evolution were observed by comparing the clonal structure of residual PCs with paired baseline samples. And therapy-induced clonal evolution exerted a significant impact on patient outcomes. These findings highlighted the importance of genetic testing of residual tumor cells after induction therapy, which may represent a reliable complementary technique for flow-MRD detection and provide a further understanding of clonal evolution.

RESUMO

The significant role of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) for disease diagnosis, including cancer, has garnered a lot of attention. The challenges of creating target-specific primers and the possibility of false-positive signals make amplification-based detection methods problematic. Fluorescent biosensors based on CRISPR-Cas have been widely established, however they still require an amplification step before they can be used for detection. To detect cfDNA, researchers have created a CRISPR-Cas12a-based nucleic acid amplification-free fluorescent biosensor that uses a combination of fluorescence and colorimetric signaling improved by duplex-specific nuclease (DSN). DSN-assisted signal recycling is initiated in H1@MBs when the target cfDNA activates the CRISPR-Cas12a complex, leading to the degradation of single-strand DNA (ssDNA) sequences. This method has an extremely high detection limit for the BRCA-1 breast cancer gene. In addition to measuring viral DNA in a field-deployable and point-of-care testing (POCT) platform, this fast and highly selective sensor can be used to evaluate additional nucleic acid biomarkers.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Multiple myeloma (MM) is an incurable hematological malignancy of the plasma cells. The maintenance of protein homeostasis is critical for MM cell survival. Elevated levels of paraproteins in MM cells are cleared by proteasomes or lysosomes, which are independent but inter-connected with each other. Proteasome inhibitors (PIs) work as a backbone agent and successfully improved the outcome of patients; however, the increasing activity of autophagy suppresses the sensitivity to PIs treatment. METHODS: The transcription levels of CRIP1 were explored in plasma cells obtained from healthy donors, patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), and relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) using Gene expression omnibus datasets. Doxycycline-inducible CRIP1-shRNA and CRIP1 overexpressed MM cell lines were constructed to explore the role of CRIP1 in MM pathogenesis. Proliferation, invasion, migration, proteasome activity and autophagy were examined in MM cells with different CRIP1 levels. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) with Tandem affinity purification/Mass spectrum (TAP/MS) was performed to identify the binding proteins of CRIP1. The mouse xenograft model was used to determine the role of CRIP1 in the proliferation and drug-resistance of MM cells. FINDINGS: High CRIP1 expression was associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes in patients with MM and served as a biomarker for RRMM with shorter overall survival. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that CRIP1 plays a critical role in protein homeostasis via the dual regulation of the activities of proteasome and autophagy in MM cells. A combined analysis of RNA-seq, Co-IP and TAP/MS demonstrated that CRIP1 promotes proteasome inhibitors resistance in MM cells by simultaneously binding to de-ubiquitinase USP7 and proteasome coactivator PA200. CRIP1 promoted proteasome activity and autophagosome maturation by facilitating the dequbiquitination and stabilization of PA200. INTERPRETATION: Our findings clarified the pivotal roles of the CRIP1/USP7/PA200 complex in ubiquitin-dependent proteasome degradation and autophagy maturation involved in the pathogenesis of MM.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We investigated both the clinical utilities and the prognostic impacts of the clonotypic peptide mass spectrometry (MS)-EasyM, a blood-based minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring protocol in multiple myeloma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A total of 447 sequential serum samples from 56 patients with multiple myeloma were analyzed using EasyM. Patient-specific M-protein peptides were sequenced from diagnostic samples; sequential samples were quantified by EasyM to monitor the M-protein. The performance of EasyM was compared with serum immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE), bone marrow multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC), and next-generation flow cytometry (NGF) detection. The optimal balance of EasyM sensitivity/specificity versus NGF (10-5 sensitivity) was determined and the prognostic impact of MS-MRD status was investigated. RESULTS: Of the 447 serum samples detected and measured by EasyM, 397, 126, and 92 had time-matching results for comparison with serum IFE, MFC-MRD, and NGF-MRD, respectively. Using a dotp >0.9 as the MS-MRD positive, sensitivity was 99.6% versus IFE and 100.0% versus MFC and NGF. Using an MS negative cutoff informed by ROC analysis (<1.86% of that at diagnosis), EasyM sensitivity remained high versus IFE (88.3%), MFC (85.1%), and NGF (93.2%), whereas specificity increased to 90.4%, 55.8%, and 93.2%, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, older diagnostic age was an independent predictor for progression-free survival [PFS; high risk (HR), 3.15; 1.26-7.86], the best MS-MRD status (MS-MRD negative) was independent predictor for both PFS (HR, 0.25; 0.12-0.52) and overall survival (HR, 0.16; 0.06-0.40). CONCLUSIONS: EasyM is a highly sensitive and minimal invasive method of MRD monitoring in multiple myeloma; MS-MRD had significant predictive ability for survival outcomes.

RESUMO

Prognostic significance of multiple immune antigens in multiple myeloma has been well established. However, a level of uncertainty remains regarding the intrinsic relationship between immunophenotypes and cytogenetic stability and precise risk stratification. To address these unresolved issues, we conducted a study involving 1389 patients enrolled in the National Longitudinal Cohort of Hematological Diseases in China (NCT04645199). Our results revealed that the correlation between antigen expression and cytogenetics is more prominent than cytopenia or organ dysfunction. Most immune antigens, apart from CD38, CD138, and CD81, exhibit significant associations with the incidence of at least one cytogenetic abnormality. In turn, we identified CD138-low/CD27-neg as specific adverse immunophenotypic profile, which remaining independent impact on progression-free survival (HR, 1.49; P = 0.007) and overall survival (HR, 1.77; P < 0.001) even in the context of cytogenetics. Importantly, CD138-low/CD27-neg profile was also associated with inferior survival after first relapse (P < 0.001). Moreover, the antigen expression profiles were not strictly similar when comparing diagnosis and relapse; in particular, the CD138-low/CD27-neg pattern was notably increased after disease progression (19.1 to 29.1%; P = 0.005). Overall, our study demonstrates that diverse immune profiles are strongly associated with cytogenetic stability, and a specific immunophenotype (CD138-low/CD27-neg) could effectively predict prognoses across different disease stages.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The duration of response to treatment is a major prognostic factor, and early relapse (ER) strongly predicts inferior survival in multiple myeloma (MM). However, the definitions of ER in MM vary from study to study and how to dynamically integrate risk distribution is still unsolved. METHODS: This study evaluated these ER definitions and further investigated the underlying relationship with static risk distribution in 629 newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients from the National Longitudinal Cohort of Hematological Diseases in China (NCT04645199). RESULTS: These data indicated that early relapse within 18 months (ER18) after initial treatment was the best time point for identifying early progression and dynamic high-risk in MM. The ER18 population (114 of 587, 19.4%) presented with more aggressive biologic features and the inferior response to treatment compared to a reference cohort (p < .001), with a significantly short median overall survival (OS) of 28.9 months. Multivariate analyses confirmed the most significant prognostic value of ER18 on OS in the context of International Staging System stage, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, thrombocytopenia, cytogenetic abnormalities, and treatment (hazard ratio, 4.467; p < .001). The authors also described the specific transitions from static risk profile to dynamic risk distribution and then constructed a mixed-risk-pattern to identify four novel populations with distinct survival (p < .001). Additionally, the authors proposed a second-state model that predicts dynamic risk changes, enabling a complementary role to the Revised International Staging System model in facilitating individualized systematic treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, this study concludes that ER18 is a simple and dynamic prognostic predictor in MM. In addition to static risk assessment, dynamic risk plays an important role in survival prediction.

RESUMO

The deletion of chromosome 17p (del(17p)) is considered a crucial prognostic factor at the time of diagnosis in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). However, the impact of del(17p) on survival at different clonal sizes at relapse, as well as the patterns of clonal evolution between diagnosis and relapse and their prognostic value, has not been well described. To address these issues, we analyzed the interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (iFISH) results of 995 newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients and 293 patients with MM at their first relapse. Among these patients, 197 had paired iFISH data at diagnosis and first relapse. Our analysis of paired iFISH revealed that a minor clone of del(17p) at relapse but not at diagnosis was associated with poor prognosis in MM (hazard ratio for median overall survival 1.64 vs. 1.44). Fifty-six and 12 patients developed one or more new cytogenetic abnormalities at relapse, mainly del(17p) and gain/amp(1q), respectively. We classified the patients into six groups based on the change patterns in the clonal size of del(17p) between the two time points. Patients who did not have del(17p) during follow-up showed the best outcomes, whereas those who acquired del(17p) during their disease course, experienced compromised survival (median overall survival: 61.3 vs. 49.4 months; hazard ratio =1.64; 95% confidence interval: 1.06-2.56; P<0.05). In conclusion, our data confirmed the adverse impact of a minor clone of del(17p) at relapse and highlighted the importance of designing optimal therapeutic strategies to eliminate high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities (clinicaltrials gov. identifier: NCT04645199).

RESUMO

The gut microbiome has been found to play a crucial role in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), which is still considered incurable due to drug resistance. In previous studies, we demonstrated that intestinal nitrogen-recycling bacteria are enriched in patients with MM. However, their role in MM relapse remains unclear. This study highlights the specific enrichment of Citrobacter freundii (C. freundii) in patients with relapsed MM. Through fecal microbial transplantation experiments, we demonstrate that C. freundii plays a critical role in inducing drug resistance in MM by increasing levels of circulating ammonium. The ammonium enters MM cells through the transmembrane channel protein SLC12A2, promoting chromosomal instability and drug resistance by stabilizing the NEK2 protein. We show that furosemide sodium, a loop diuretic, downregulates SLC12A2, thereby inhibiting ammonium uptake by MM cells and improving progression-free survival and curative effect scores. These findings provide new therapeutic targets and strategies for the intervention of MM progression and drug resistance.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To carry out combined genetic analysis on two patients suspected for Burkitt lymphoma to facilitate their diagnosis and treatment. METHODS: G banded karyotyping and interphase and metaphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were used to detect the specific sites of chromosomes by using separate and fusion probes. RESULTS: The separate probe showed no presence of MYC gene abnormality, while fusion probe confirmed the IGH::MYC translocation in the samples. Combined with the clinical features and pathological characteristics, the two patients were finally diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma, which was confirmed by targeted capture next generation sequencing. CONCLUSION: The separate probe for the MYC gene has some shortcomings and should be used together with dual fusion probe to improve the accuracy of diagnosis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Multiple myeloma is a highly heterogenous plasma cell malignancy, commonly seen in older patients. Age is one of the important prognostic factors. However, nearly all the prognostic staging systems are based on clinical trials, where patients were relatively fit and young. It is unknown how the presence of biochemical or cytogenetic prognostic factors and their risk weights changes with older age. To further investigate this question, we retrospectively analyzed the data from a consecutive cohort of patients treated with either bortezomib or thalidomide-based therapy. METHODS: This retrospective study was carried out on a cohort of 1125 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients, from January 2008 to December 2019. Patients received bortezomib or thalidomide-based induction and maintenance therapy. Patients accepted hematopoietic stem cell transplantation if eligible. Statistical analysis was conducted by Stata/MP 16.0 and SPSS 26.0. RESULTS: With age increasing, the proportion of patients with ISS 3, performance status score ≥2, and the incidence rate of gain(1q) significantly increased. We also found that ISS became less important in older patients. However, cytogenetic abnormalities exerted a consistently adverse impact on survival, both in young and old patients. Older patients had an inferior outcome than their young counterparts. All patients in our cohort benefitted more from bortezomib than thalidomide-based induction therapy, except for patients ≥71 years old. CONCLUSIONS: ISS may lose prognostic value in patients ≥71 years old. Older patients had an inferior outcome and needed more effective and less toxic treatment.Plain Language SummaryMultiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer commonly seen in older people. To treat this disease, genetic abnormality, the poor physical status of patients and the abundance of tumor cells are the main difficulties. We often draw these conclusions from clinical trials. However, clinical trials always enrolled relatively younger patients, so the presence and significance of these factors may vary from clinical trials to the real world. We conducted the study to find out the real risk in both young and old patients. We found that older patients were more likely to have anemia, poor nutritional status and renal function. We also found older patients had more risk of relapse, progression or death than young patients. Frail physical status is the key obstacle to treating older patients, and tumor burden no longer impacts the outcome of these people. Bortezomib is a powerful drug to treat this disease, but patients ≥71 years old had less benefit than younger ones. More studies should focus on older or frail patients as these patients need more effective and less toxic treatment.
