RESUMO

The implementation of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) therapy in the real-world setting is hindered by logistical and financial barriers, impacting timely access to this life-saving treatment. Clinical trials have reported the time from leukapheresis to CAR T cell infusion (vein-to-vein time) but not the time from CAR T referral to infusion (decision-to-vein time). Herein, we report the barriers to CAR T therapy in a real-world setting. We evaluated the factors influencing the decision-to-vein time and explored the association with clinical outcomes in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who received CAR T therapy. We conducted a retrospective study of adult patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL who underwent consultation for CAR T cell therapy at Levine Cancer Institute and Wake Forest Comprehensive Cancer Center and collected information regarding demographic data, referral type, insurance type, CAR T product, and survival outcomes. The effects of variables on decision-to-vein time were analyzed by Fisher's exact test for categorial variables and Wilcoxon rank-sum test for continuous variables. Survival analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox Proportional Hazard models. The study included 142 patients who were referred for CAR T of which 99 patients received CAR T. Median decision-to-vein time was 62 days compared to median vein-to-vein time of 32 days. Patients with private insurance took longer to obtain financial clearance compared to patients with government insurance (median 25 versus 9 days, P < .001). Of those with private insurance (n = 63), 35% needed a single-case agreement (SCA) which led to significant delay in receiving financial clearance (median 50.5 versus 19 days, P < .001) and increased decision-to-vein time (median 75 versus 55 days, P < .001) compared to those who did not need SCA. Decision-to-vein time was significantly different among various products, clinical trial being the shortest (median 47 days, n = 9) and non-conforming products being the longest (median 94.5 days, n = 6) (P< .001). Axi-cel had the shortest median decision-to-vein time at 61 days compared to 81 days with tisa-cel and 85 days with liso-cel. Although delays in receiving CAR T therapy did not impact survival, the median overall survival for patients who were referred for CAR T therapy but did not receive it, was significantly lower than those who received CAR T cell therapy (9.0 versus 21.0 months, P < .001). Decision-to-vein time is a major cause of delay in receiving CAR T therapy. SCAs lead to significant increase in decision-to-vein time leading to delays in CAR T therapy in a real-world setting. Patients who were referred for CAR T but are not able to receive it, have inferior survival compared to CAR T recipients. Our findings underscore the significance of addressing administrative hurdles, such as SCAs and insurance approvals, for timely access to CAR T therapy for patients with DLBCL.

RESUMO

Historically, salvage chemoimmunotherapy with consolidative autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) was the only potentially curative therapeutic option for patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). Treatment options were few and outcomes poor for patients whose lymphoma failed to respond to salvage chemotherapy/ASCT and for patients not eligible for ASCT. The approval of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for relapsed/refractory LBCL revolutionized the treatment landscape with unprecedented response rates and durability of responses. As a result, earlier intervention with CAR T-cell therapy has been explored, and the enthusiasm for CAR T-cell therapy has overshadowed ASCT. In this article, we will review the data available for ASCT and CAR T-cell therapy in relapsed LBCL and will examine the role for ASCT in relapsed/refractory LBCL in the era of CAR T-cell therapy.

RESUMO

The revised International Prognostic Index (R-IPI) is an important prognostic tool in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL); however, outcomes can vary markedly within R-IPI groups, and additional prognostic markers are needed. We conducted a prospective observational study to evaluate the circulating immature myeloid (IM) cell subsets and cytokine profiles of 31 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL before and after chemoimmunotherapy. Among circulating IM cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) were the predominant cell type (73.8% ± 26%). At baseline, circulating monocytic MDSCs (M-MDSCs) and polymorphonuclear MDSCs (PMN-MDSCs) were predominantly mutually exclusive. Patients with DLBCL clustered into three distinct immunotypes according to MDSC levels and subtype predominance: M-MDSChigh, PMN-MDSChigh, and MDSClow. The M-MDSChigh immunotype was associated with the germinal center B cell-like (GCB) subtype and elevated serum IL-8 and MIP-1α levels. PMN-MDSChigh was associated with the non-GCB subtype and elevated IL-8, MCP-1, IP-10, TNFα, and IL-1Ra levels. Standard chemoimmunotherapy partially reduced M-MDSC distribution across the MDSClow and M-MDSChigh groups. By contrast, among the MDSClow and PMN-MDSChigh groups, PMN-MDSCs persisted after treatment. Two high-risk patients with non-GCB DLBCL and MDSClow immunotype experienced early disease recurrence within 12 months of treatment completion. This study demonstrates that distinct types of MDSCs are associated with subtypes of DLBCL. MDSC levels are dynamic and may be associated with disease status. Persistence of PMN-MDSCs among high-risk patients with DLBCL may be associated with early relapse.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell (CAR-T) immunotherapy is an effective therapy for relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r B-NHL). However, data are limited on the impact of the convergence of race and social determinants of health on outcomes for patients treated with CAR-T therapy. We examined the impact of interactions between race and insurance type on health care use and outcomes in patients treated with CAR-T therapy for aggressive B-NHL. Adult patients with r/r B-NHL treated with CD19 CAR-Ts were identified between 2015 and 2021 across 13 US academic centers. Insurance type, demographic, and clinical data were collected and analyzed. In total, 466 adult patients were included in our analysis. Median follow-up after CAR-T therapy was 12.7 months. Median progression-free survival (mPFS) was longer for Caucasians (11.5 months) than for African Americans (3.5 months; hazard ratio [HR], 1.56 [1.03-2.4]; P = .04) or Asians (2.7 months; HR, 1.7 [1.02-2.67]; P = .04). Differences in median overall survival (mOS) were not significant. For Medicare (n = 206) vs Medicaid (n = 33) vs private insurance (n = 219) vs self-pay (n = 7): mPFS was 15.9 vs 4.2 vs 6.0 vs 0.9 months (P < .001), respectively; and mOS was 31.2 vs 12.8 vs 21.5 vs 3.2 months (P < .001), respectively. Our multicenter retrospective analysis showed that race and insurance status can affect outcomes for patients treated with CAR-T therapy.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treated with ibrutinib are at risk of developing cardiovascular side effects (CVSE). The molecular determinants of CVSEs have not been fully elucidated. We interrogated genetic polymorphisms in the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) signaling pathway for their association with ibrutinib-related CVSEs. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We conducted a retrospective/prospective observational pharmacogenetic study of 50 patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed CLL who received ibrutinib at a starting daily dose of 420 mg for at least 6 months. CVSEs, primarily atrial fibrillation and hypertension, occurred in 10 patients (20%), of whom 4 discontinued therapy. DNA was isolated from buccal swabs of all 50 patients and genotyped for 40 SNPs in GATA4, SGK1, KCNQ1, KCNA4, NPPA, and SCN5A using a customized next-generation sequencing panel. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to determine genetic and clinical factors associated with the incidence of ibrutinib-related CVSEs. RESULTS: GATA4 rs804280 AA (P = 0.043), KCNQ1 rs163182 GG (P = 0.036), and KCNQ1 rs2237895 AA (P = 0.023) genotypes were univariately associated with ibrutinib-related CVSEs. On the basis of multivariate analysis, a high genetic risk score, defined as the presence of at least two of these genotypes, was associated with 11.5-fold increased odds of CVSEs (P = 0.019; 95% confidence interval, 1.79-119.73). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest possible genetic determinants of ibrutinib-related CVSEs in CLL. If replicated in a larger study, pretreatment pharmacogenetic testing for GATA4 and KCNQ1 polymorphisms may be a useful clinical tool for personalizing treatment selection for CLL and/or instituting early risk mitigation strategies.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Treatment options are limited beyond JAK inhibitors for patients with primary myelofibrosis (MF) or secondary MF. Preclinical studies have revealed that PI3Kδ inhibition cooperates with ruxolitinib, a JAK1/2 inhibitor, to reduce proliferation and induce apoptosis of JAK2V617F-mutant cell lines. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a phase I dose-escalation and -expansion study, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of a selective PI3Kδ inhibitor, umbralisib, in combination with ruxolitinib in patients with MF who had a suboptimal response or lost response to ruxolitinib. Enrolled subjects were required to be on a stable dose of ruxolitinib for ≥8 weeks and continue that MTD at study enrollment. The recommended dose of umbralisib in combination with ruxolitinib was determined using a modified 3+3 dose-escalation design. Safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy outcomes were evaluated, and spleen size was measured with a novel automated digital atlas. RESULTS: Thirty-seven patients with MF (median age, 67 years) with prior exposure to ruxolitinib were enrolled. A total of 2 patients treated with 800 mg umbralisib experienced reversible grade 3 asymptomatic pancreatic enzyme elevation, but no dose-limiting toxicities were seen at lower umbralisib doses. Two patients (5%) achieved a durable complete response, and 12 patients (32%) met the International Working Group-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment response criteria of clinical improvement. With a median follow-up of 50.3 months for censored patients, overall survival was greater than 70% after 3 years of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Adding umbralisib to ruxolitinib in patients was well tolerated and may resensitize patients with MF to ruxolitinib without unacceptable rates of adverse events seen with earlier generation PI3Kδ inhibitors. Randomized trials testing umbralisib in the treatment of MF should be pursued.

RESUMO

Most patients receiving chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) for aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) do not experience a durable remission. Several novel agents are approved to treat relapsed, refractory aggressive B-NHL; however, it remains unclear how to sequence these therapies pre- and post-CAR-T. We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis to describe peri-CAR-T practice patterns and survival predictors for patients receiving CD19-directed CAR-T. Patients (n = 514) from 13 centers treated with CAR-T for B-NHL between 2015-2021 were included in the study. Survival curves were constructed using Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to determine the impact of the variables on survival outcomes. For all patients receiving CAR-T, a greater number of lines of therapy pre-CAR-T apheresis and bridging therapy were predictive of inferior progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The median PFS and OS from the time of CAR-T cell infusion were 7.6 and 25.6 months, respectively. From the time of progression post-CAR-T, the median OS was 5.5 months. The median PFS of treatments administered in the first-line post-CAR-T failure was 2.8 months. Patients with refractory disease on day 30 had inferior OS and were less likely to receive subsequent treatment(s) than other patients with CAR-T failure. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for selected patients at any time following CAR-T failure led to durable responses in over half of patients at 1 year. These data provide a benchmark for future clinical trials in patients with post-CAR-T cell progression, which remains an unmet clinical need.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) comprise several rare hematologic malignancies with shared concomitant dysplastic and proliferative clinicopathologic features of bone marrow failure and propensity of acute leukemic transformation, and have significant impact on patient quality of life. The only approved disease-modifying therapies for any of the MDS/MPN are DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTi) for patients with dysplastic CMML, and still, outcomes are generally poor, making this an important area of unmet clinical need. Due to both the rarity and the heterogeneous nature of MDS/MPN, they have been challenging to study in dedicated prospective studies. Thus, refining first-line treatment strategies has been difficult, and optimal salvage treatments following DNMTi failure have also not been rigorously studied. ABNL-MARRO (A Basket study of Novel therapy for untreated MDS/MPN and Relapsed/Refractory Overlap Syndromes) is an international cooperation that leverages the expertise of the MDS/MPN International Working Group (IWG) and provides the framework for collaborative studies to advance treatment of MDS/MPN and to explore clinical and pathologic markers of disease severity, prognosis, and treatment response. METHODS: ABNL MARRO 001 (AM-001) is an open label, randomly allocated phase 1/2 study that will test novel treatment combinations in MDS/MPNs, beginning with the novel targeted agent itacitinib, a selective JAK1 inhibitor, combined with ASTX727, a fixed dose oral combination of the DNMTi decitabine and the cytidine deaminase inhibitor cedazuridine to improve decitabine bioavailability. DISCUSSION: Beyond the primary objectives of the study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of novel treatment combinations in MDS/MPN, the study will (i) Establish the ABNL MARRO infrastructure for future prospective studies, (ii) Forge innovative scientific research that will improve our understanding of pathogenetic mechanisms of disease, and (iii) Inform the clinical application of diagnostic criteria, risk stratification and prognostication tools, as well as response assessments in this heterogeneous patient population. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov on August 19, 2019 (Registration No. NCT04061421).

RESUMO

Ibrutinib is effective in the treatment of relapsed/refractory (R/R) marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) with an overall response rate (ORR) of 48%. However, factors associated with response (or lack thereof) to ibrutinib in R/R MZL in clinical practice are largely unknown. To answer this question, we performed a multicenter (25 US centers) cohort study and divided the study population into three groups: "ibrutinib responders"-patients who achieved complete or partial response (CR/PR) to ibrutinib; "stable disease (SD)"; and "primary progressors (PP)"-patients with progression of disease as their best response to ibrutinib. One hundred and nineteen patients met the eligibility criteria with 58%/17% ORR/CR, 29% with SD, and 13% with PP. The median PFS and OS were 29 and 71.4 months, respectively, with no difference in PFS or OS based on the ibrutinib line of therapy or type of therapy before ibrutinib. Patients with complex cytogenetics had an inferior PFS (HR = 3.08, 95% CI 1.23-7.67, p = 0.02), while those with both complex cytogenetics (HR = 3.00, 95% CI 1.03-8.68, p = 0.04) and PP (HR = 13.94, 95% CI 5.17-37.62, p < 0.001) had inferior OS. Only primary refractory disease to first-line therapy predicted a higher probability of PP to ibrutinib (RR = 3.77, 95% CI 1.15-12.33, p = 0.03). In this largest study to date evaluating outcomes of R/R MZL treated with ibrutinib, we show that patients with primary refractory disease and those with PP on ibrutinib are very high-risk subsets and need to be prioritized for experimental therapies.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Aggressive large B-cell lymphomas (LBCLs) are curable, but previous studies have shown inferior outcomes in minorities. Nurse navigation programs can improve patient outcomes by providing patient support. This study presents the outcomes of White and minority patients with aggressive LBCL at an institution with an active nurse navigation program. METHODS: The authors prospectively collected baseline characteristics, treatment regimens, and outcome data for patients with aggressive LBCL. Navigation encounters were characterized as low or high intensity. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated with Kaplan-Meier methods. Baseline characteristics were compared with Fisher exact tests. RESULTS: Two hundred four consecutive patients (47 minority patients and 157 White patients) were included. Results were presented as minorities versus Whites. There were no differences in prognostic scores (Revised International Prognostic Index score of 3-5, 43% vs 47%; P = .50), frontline chemotherapy (98% vs 96%; P = .68), or the incidence of relapsed/refractory disease (40% vs 38%; P = .74). For relapsed/refractory LBCL, similar proportions of patients underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (32% vs 29%; P > .99) or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (16% vs 19%; P > .99). Enrollment in clinical trials was comparable (17% vs 14%; P = .64). More than 85% received nurse navigation, but minorities had higher intensity navigation encounters (42% vs 21%; P = .01). The 2-year OS rates were 81% and 76% for minorities and Whites, respectively (P = .27); the 2-year PFS rates were 62% and 65%, respectively (P = .78). CONCLUSIONS: This study shows similar survival between Whites and minorities with aggressive LBCL, which was likely due to equal access to guideline-concordant therapy. Minorities received higher intensity navigation encounters, which may have helped them to overcome socioeconomic disadvantages.

RESUMO

Collectively, hematological malignancies account for the fourth most common malignancy. Myeloma and lymphoma are the most common types of hematological malignancies. Unfortunately, the management of refractory myeloma and lymphoma remains challenging. The discovery of new immunological therapies, namely chimeric antigen receptors T cells (CAR-T), outlined unprecedented B cell malignancies results. In this context, the CAR-T-based approach has led to the proliferation of many clinical studies. In this review, we will deal with the CAR-T structure, and we will summarize the primary clinical studies assessing the risks and benefits of CAR-T cell therapy. We will also deal with the adverse events and management of cytokine release syndromes/immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Subsequently, we will review potential future improvements to overcome refractoriness and improve expansion while decreasing CAR-T's off-target effects. The advances in the CAR-T platform represent a step forward with promising unlimited future possibilities that made it a paradigm-shifting for the management of B cell malignancies.

RESUMO

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm overlap syndrome characterized by monocytic proliferation in the presence of dysplastic bone marrow changes, inflammatory symptoms, and propensity for transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Unlike the α and ß isoforms, the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)-δ signaling protein is predominantly expressed by hematopoietic cells and therefore has garnered interest as a potential target for the treatment of lymphomas and leukemias. We revealed a pattern of increased PIK3CD:PIK3CA ratio in monocytic M5 AML patients and cell lines, and this ratio correlated with responsiveness to pharmacological PI3K-δ inhibition in vitro. Because CMML is a disease defined by monocytic clonal proliferation, we tested the PI3K-δ inhibitor umbralisib as a single agent and in combination with the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib, in CMML. Our ex vivo experiments with primary CMML patient samples revealed synergistic inhibition of viability and clonogenicity with this combination. Phospho-specific flow cytometry revealed that dual inhibition had the unique ability to decrease STAT5, ERK, AKT, and S6 phosphorylation simultaneously, which offers a mechanistic hypothesis for the enhanced efficacy of the combination treatment. These preclinical data indicate promising activity by co-inhibition of PI3K-δ and JAK1/2 and support the use of ruxolitinib + umbralisib combination therapy in CMML under active clinical investigation.

RESUMO

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) defines the following types of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as favorable-risk: acute promyelocytic leukemia with t(15;17) (APL); AML with core-binding factor (CBF) rearrangements, including t(8;21) and inv(16) or t(16;16) without mutations in KIT (CBF-KITwt); and AML with normal cytogenetics and mutations in NPM1 (NPM1mut); or biallelic mutations in CEBPA (CEBPAmut/mut), without FLT3-ITD. Although these AMLs are categorized as favorable risk by NCCN, clinical experience suggests that there are differences in clinical outcome amongst these cytogenetically and molecularly distinct leukemias. This study compared clinical and genotypic characteristics of 60 patients with favorable-risk AML, excluding APL, and demonstrated significant differences between them. Patients with NPM1mut AML were significantly older than those in the other groups. Targeted next-generation sequencing on DNA from peripheral blood or bone marrow revealed significantly more mutations in NPM1mut AML than the other favorable-risk diseases, especially in genes related to DNA splicing and methylation. CEBPAmut/mut AMLs exhibited more mutations in transcription-related genes. Patients with NPM1mut AML and CEBPAmut/mut AML show significantly reduced overall survival in comparison with CBF-KITwt AML. These findings emphasize that favorable-risk AML patients have divergent outcomes and that differences in clinical and genotypic characteristics should be considered in their evaluation and management.

RESUMO

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a myeloid malignancy which shares clinical and morphologic features of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and is classified by the WHO as an MDS/MPN. The defining feature of CMML is clonal hematopoiesis that results in peripheral monocytosis. The benefit of early treatment is currently unclear, and treatment may be held until the disease exhibits accelerated blast counts or the patient becomes symptomatic. Optimal treatments for CMML are not well defined. Conventional treatments include hydroxyurea, cytarabine, and hypomethylating agents. However, all treatment options are limited and, with the exception of allogeneic stem cell transplantation, are considered palliative. As we continue to learn about the genomics of CMML and about arising therapeutic targets and those under active clinical investigation, the future therapy of CMML will likely improve considerably. Here, we review the data available for conventional therapies and highlight emerging therapeutic strategies.
