ABSTRACT

Venetoclax is a BCL2 inhibitor with activity in relapsed/refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). We conducted a multi-centre retrospective analysis of 105 R/R CLL patients who received venetoclax pre-National Health Service commissioning. The median age was 67 years and median prior lines was 3 (range: 1-15). 48% had TP53 disruption. At ≥2 lines, 60% received a Bruton Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor (BTKi) and no prior phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor (Pi3Ki), 25% received a Pi3Ki and no prior BTKi, and 10% received both. Patients discontinued B cell receptor inhibitor (BCRi) because of toxicity in 44% and progression in 54%. Tumour lysis syndrome risk was low, intermediate or high in 27%, 25%, and 48% respectively. Overall response was 88% (30% complete response [CR]). The overall response rate was 85% (CR 23%) in BTKi-exposed patients, 92% (CR 38%) in Pi3Ki-exposed patients and 80% (CR 20%) in both (P = 0·59). With a median follow-up of 15·6 months, 1-year progression-free survival was 65·0% and 1-year overall survival was 75·1%. Dose reduction or temporary interruption did not result in an inferior progression-free or discontinuation-free survival. Risk of progression or death after stopping a prior BCRi for progression was double compared to those stopping for other reasons (predominantly toxicity) (Hazard Ratio 2·01 P = 0·05). Venetoclax is active and well tolerated in R/R CLL post ≥1 BCRi. Reason(s) for stopping BCRi influences venetoclax outcomes.

ABSTRACT

Relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in those unfit or ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantation is associated with a poor outcome and new treatment approaches are needed. Pixantrone is a novel aza-anthracenedione which is structurally similar to anthracyclines and is licenced in R/R DLBCL and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)-approved following the PIX301 trial. No data exist post-NICE approval. We performed a UK-wide retrospective multi-centre study of 92 R/R DLBCL who received pixantrone. Eighty-five per cent had refractory disease and 72% had an international prognostic index (IPI) 3-5 at commencement of pixantrone. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2·0 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 1·5-2·4) and the median overall survival was 3·4 months (95% CI 2·7-4·5). The overall response rate was 24% (complete response 10%; partial response 14%). We demonstrate that pixantrone has limited activity in a cohort of high risk, predominantly refractory DLBCL. Multivariate Cox regression revealed that patients who relapsed >12 months after first line treatment, those with fewer prior lines of therapy and relapsed (non-refractory) DLBCL had improved PFS. The major population of unmet need are those with refractory DLBCL who are poorly represented within trials and in whom pixantrone appears less efficacious compared to relapsed DLBCL.

ABSTRACT

No studies have been reported so far on bridging treatment with idelalisib for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). To study potential carry-over effects of idelalisib and to assess the impact of pathway-inhibitor (PI) failure we performed a retrospective EBMT registry-based study. Patients with CLL who had a history of idelalisib treatment and received a first alloHCT between 2015 and 2017 were eligible. Data on 72 patients (median age 58 years) were analyzed. Forty percent of patients had TP53mut/del CLL and 64% had failed on at least one PI. No primary graft failure occurred. Cumulative incidences of acute GVHD °II-IV and chronic GVHD were 51% and 39%, respectively. Estimates for 2-year overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and cumulative incidences of relapse/progression (CIR) and non-relapse mortality NRM were 59%, 44%, 25%, and 31%. In univariate analysis, drug sensitivity was a strong risk factor. For patients who had failed neither PI treatment nor chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) the corresponding 2-year estimates were 73%, 65%, 15%, and 20%, respectively. In conclusion, idelalisib may be considered as an option for bridging therapy prior to alloHCT. Owing to the high risk for acute GVHD intensified clinical monitoring is warranted.

ABSTRACT

Stem cell transplantation remains the curative option for many patients with hematological malignancies. The long-term effects of these treatments on the patients and their immune systems have been extensively investigated, but there remains a paucity of data regarding autoimmune manifestations post-transplant, although these effects are well recognized.Herein we present the clinical picture and therapeutic approach in three patients (cases 1-3), with varied presentations of autoimmune disease post-transplant. Case 1 exhibited autoimmune hemolytic anemia and other autoimmune manifestations (serositis, thyroiditis), that were probably linked to graft versus relapsed leukemia effect. Cases 2 and 3 had pure red white cell aplasia and pure red cell aplasia, respectively, which were associated with hyperglobulinemia and a clonal T cell expansion.

ABSTRACT

Herein we present a female patient aged 61 with Philadelphia negative acute lymphoblastic leukaemia demonstrating near haploid karyotype and abnormal TP53 expression at diagnosis, who relapsed with lineage switch as Acute Monocytic Leukemia post allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Molecular analysis established that both neoplasms were derived from the same founder clone. The leukemic lineage switch phenomenon has recently re-attracted interest as mechanism of leukemic evasion post treatment with chimeric antigen receptor T-cells but there is paucity of data on its presence post allograft or following novel antibody treatments such as Inotuzumab Ozogamicin or Blinatumomab. Our proposition for cancer research is that near haploidy in ALL could be linked to leukemic stem cell plasticity evading stem cell transplantation and other immunotherapy approaches.
