RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has curative potential for myeloid malignancies, though many patients cannot tolerate myeloablative conditioning with high-dose chemotherapy alone or with total-body irradiation (TBI). Here we report long-term outcomes from a phase I/II study using iodine-131 (131I)-anti-CD45 antibody BC8 combined with nonmyeloablative conditioning prior to HLA-haploidentical HCT in adults with high-risk relapsed/ refractory acute myeloid or lymphoid leukemia (AML or ALL), or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS; ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00589316). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients received a tracer diagnostic dose before a therapeutic infusion of 131I-anti-CD45 to deliver escalating doses (12-26 Gy) to the dose-limiting organ. Patients subsequently received fludarabine, cyclophosphamide (CY), and 2 Gy TBI conditioning before haploidentical marrow HCT. GVHD prophylaxis was posttransplant CY plus tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil. RESULTS: Twenty-five patients (20 with AML, 4 ALL and 1 high-risk MDS) were treated; 8 had ≥ 5% blasts by morphology (range 9%-20%), and 7 had previously failed HCT. All 25 patients achieved a morphologic remission 28 days after HCT, with only 2 patients showing minimal residual disease (0.002-1.8%) by flow cytometry. Median time to engraftment was 15 days for neutrophils and 23 days for platelets. Point estimates for overall survival and progression-free survival were 40% and 32% at 1 year, and 24% at 2 years, respectively. Point estimates of relapse and nonrelapse mortality at 1 year were 56% and 12%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: 131I-anti-CD45 radioimmunotherapy prior to haploidentical HCT is feasible and can be curative in some patients, including those with disease, without additional toxicity.

In January 2020, the first documented patient in the United States infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was diagnosed in Washington State. Since that time, community spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the state has changed the practice of oncologic care at our comprehensive cancer center in Seattle. At the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, the primary oncology clinic for the University of Washington/Fred Hutchinson Cancer Consortium, our specialists who manage adult patients with hematologic malignancies have rapidly adjusted clinical practices to mitigate the potential risks of COVID-19 to our patients. We suggest that our general management decisions and modifications in Seattle are broadly applicable to patients with hematologic malignancies. Despite a rapidly changing environment that necessitates opinion-based care, we provide recommendations that are based on best available data from clinical trials and collective knowledge of disease states.

PURPOSE: Double-hit lymphomas and triple-hit lymphomas (DHL/THL), also known as high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 or BCL6 rearrangements, are associated with chemoresistance and inferior survival. However, whether radiation therapy (RT) efficacy is altered in DHL/THL is less well characterized. Among patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (R/R LBCL), we compared rates and durability of response between patients with and without DHL/THL. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We retrospectively reviewed consecutive R/R LBCL patients who were irradiated at a single institution from January 2008 to June 2017. Patients in whom c-MYC rearranged status was known were evaluated for response to RT, in-field control, progression-free, and overall survival. RESULTS: Among 245 irradiated patients with LBCL, 41 patients with confirmed c-MYC status were treated for R/R disease (14 DHL/THL, 27 non-DHL/THL) and formed our cohort. Compared with non-DHL/THL, more DHL/THL patients had progressive disease at RT (71% vs 48%), had larger gross tumor volumes (GTV; median 696 mL vs 117 mL), and were treated with palliative intent (71% vs 41%). Despite similar RT doses (median 35 Gy), radiographic complete response rate was lower among DHL/THL patients: 14.3% versus 64.7% (P = .01). With a median 2 years of follow-up, one in-field failure was observed in each group. DHL/THL patients had inferior progression-free survival (7% vs 46%; P = .02) and overall survival (14% vs 68%; P = .03) at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS: R/R LBCL is responsive to RT, although rates of response are lower among DHL/THL patients. Given poor survival after RT, in-field control was hard to evaluate in this cohort. Larger cohorts are required to better elucidate whether differences in response rates are driven by larger disease burden at RT versus tumor biology. These findings are of increasing pertinence in light of use of RT as bridging therapy to cellular immunotherapies.

Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) combines the mechanism of action and targeting capability of monoclonal antibodies with the tumoricidal effect of radiation and has shown promising results in the treatment of various hematologic malignancies. Based on RIT's efficacy and safety profile, many investigators have evaluated its use in transplant conditioning regimens with the goal of improving long-term disease control with limited toxicity. In lymphoma, two basic transplant approaches targeting CD20 have emerged: (1) myeloablative doses of RIT with or without chemotherapy, and (2) standard nonmyeloablative doses of RIT combined with high-dose chemotherapy. Myeloablative RIT has been shown to be feasible and efficacious using escalated doses of iodine 131-tositumomab, yttrium 90-ibritumomab tiuxetan, and (131)I-rituximab with or without chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). The second approach predominantly has used standard doses of (90)Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan or (131)I-tositumomab plus BEAM chemotherapy (carmustine [BCNU], etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan) followed by ASCT. RIT targeting CD45, CD33, and CD66 prior to allogeneic transplantation also has been evaluated for the treatment of acute leukemia. Overall RIT-based transplant conditioning for lymphoma and leukemia has been shown to be safe, effective, and feasible with ongoing randomized trials currently underway to definitively establish its place in the treatment of hematologic malignancies.

Relapsed or treatment refractory B-cell lymphomas are currently incurable with conventional chemotherapy and radiation treatments. High-dose chemoradiotherapy and stem cell transplantation can cure some patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma, but the majority of such patients die of progressive disease. We have investigated the potential utility of pretargeted radioimmunotherapy using monoclonal antibody-streptavidin, immunoconjugates, and fusion proteins in combination with N-acetylgalactosamine dendrimeric clearing agent and radiometal-labeled 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N'',N'''-tetraacetic acid biotin for treatment of lymphomas using mouse and primate models. We have targeted a variety of cell surface antigens, including CD20, CD22, CD45, and HLA-DR, using conventional and pretargeted radioimmunotherapy. These studies showed the marked superiority of pretargeted radioimmunotherapy for each of the antigenic targets in terms of superior biodistributions, more complete tumor regressions, and longer survival. We are optimistic that this novel approach will provide a meaningful prolongation of survival for patients with relapsed or refractory lymphomas.

PURPOSE: The majority of patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) are older than 60 years, yet they are often denied potentially curative high-dose therapy and autologous stem-cell transplantations (ASCT) because of the risk of excessive treatment-related morbidity and mortality. Myeloablative anti-CD20 radioimmunotherapy (RIT) can deliver curative radiation doses to tumor sites while limiting exposure to normal organs and may be particularly suited for older adults requiring high-dose therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients older than 60 years with relapsed B-cell NHL (B-NHL) received infusions of tositumomab anti-CD20 antibody labeled with 185 to 370 Mbq (5 to 10 mCi) [131I]-tracer for dosimetry purposes followed 10 days later by individualized therapeutic infusions of [131I]tositumomab (median, 19.4 Gbq [525 mCi]; range, 12.1 to 42.7 Gbq [328 to 1,154 mCi]) to deliver 25 to 27 Gy to the critical normal organ receiving the highest radiation dose. ASCT was performed approximately 2 weeks after therapy. RESULTS: Twenty-four patients with a median age of 64 years (range, 60 to 76 years), who had received a median of four prior regimens (range, two to 14 regimens), were treated. Thirteen patients (54%) had chemotherapy-resistant disease. The estimated 3-year overall and progression-free survival rates were 59% and 51%, respectively, with a median follow-up of 2.9 years (range, 1 to 6 years). All patients experienced expected myeloablation with engraftment of platelets (> or = 20 K/microL) and neutrophils ( 500/microL), occurring at a median of 9 and 15 days after ASCT, respectively. There were no treatment-related deaths, and only two patients experienced grade 4 nonhematologic toxicity. CONCLUSION: Myeloablative RIT and ASCT is a safe and effective therapeutic option for older adults with relapsed B-NHL.

The anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab induces remission in 40% to 60% of patients with indolent B-cell lymphoma, but virtually all patients have relapses. We evaluated the efficacy of concurrent administration of another biologic agent, N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) retinamide (4HPR, fenretinide) with rituximab against a variety of human B-cell lymphoma cell lines (Ramos, DHL-4, and FL-18) in vivo. Concurrent 4HPR and rituximab administration prevented tumor progression of lymphoma-bearing mice in a minimal disease model (rituximab + 4HPR, 100% progression free; rituximab alone, 37.5% progression free, P =.01; 4HPR alone, 12.5% progression free, P <.01; controls, 0% progression free, P <.01). Combinations of 4HPR + rituximab exceeded the predicted 50% additive rate of disease control from each agent alone (P =.038). Administering 4HPR and rituximab to mice with established tumors induced complete responses (CRs) in 80% of animals compared with 20% to 40% CRs using either agent alone (P =.07), resulting in significantly improved survival. Tumors harvested from 4HPR + rituximab-treated mice displayed elevated caspase activation compared with untreated controls (P =.02). Adding a broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor in vivo fully abrogated the antitumor effects of 4HPR + rituximab (P =.05). These results establish the efficacy of 4HPR/rituximab combinations, confirm their caspase-mediated mechanism of action, and offer the potential for disease control with minimal toxicity for patients with B-cell malignancies.

We performed a multivariable comparison of 125 consecutive patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) treated at our centers with either high-dose radioimmunotherapy (HD-RIT) using 131I-anti-CD20 (n = 27) or conventional high-dose therapy (C-HDT) (n = 98) and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The groups were similar, although more patients treated with HD-RIT had an elevated pretransplantation level of lactate dehydrogenase (41% versus 20%, P =.03) and elevated international prognostic score (41% versus 19%, P =.02). Patients treated with HD-RIT received individualized therapeutic doses of 131I-tositumomab (median, 19.7 GBq [531 mCi]) to deliver 17 to 31 Gy (median, 27 Gy) to critical organs. Patients treated with C-HDT received total body irradiation plus chemotherapy (70%) or chemotherapy alone (30%). Patients treated with HD-RIT experienced improved overall survival (OS) (unadjusted hazard ratio [HR] for death = 0.4 [95% confidence interval (95% CI), 0.2-0.9], P =.02; adjusted HR, 0.3, P =.004) and progression-free survival (PFS) (unadjusted HR =.6 [95% C.I., 0.3-1.0], P =.06; adjusted HR, 0.5, P =.03) versus patients treated with C-HDT. The estimated 5-year OS and PFS were 67% and 48%, respectively, for HD-RIT and 53% and 29%, respectively, for C-HDT. One hundred-day treatment-related mortality was 3.7% in the HD-RIT group and 11% in the C-HDT group. The probability of secondary myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML) was estimated to be.076 at 8 years in the HD-RIT group and.086 at 7 years in the C-HDT group. HD-RIT may improve outcomes versus C-HDT in patients with relapsed FL.

Relapsed mantle cell lymphoma is a radiation-sensitive malignancy that is unlikely to be cured by treatment with conventional high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. We tested the safety and efficacy of using a CD20-specific monoclonal antibody conjugated with (131)I to deliver high-dose radiation selectively to all lymphoma sites. Patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma received infusions of (131)I-labeled CD20-specific monoclonal antibody (Tositumomab). The antibody dose was 1.7 mg/kg body weight, and the amount of (131)I was calibrated to deliver 20 to 25 Gy to vital normal organs. This treatment was followed 10 days later by administration of high-dose etoposide (30-60 mg/kg), cyclophosphamide (60-100 mg/kg), and infusion of cryopreserved autologous stem cells. The 16 patients in this study had received a median of 3 prior treatments, and 7 had chemotherapy-resistant disease. The median dose of (131)I was 510 mCi (18.87 GBq). There were no therapy-related deaths. Among the 11 patients with conventionally measurable disease at the time of treatment, the respective complete and overall response rates were 91% and 100%. Fifteen patients remain alive, and 12 have had no progression of lymphoma at 6 to 57 months from transplantation and 16 to 97 months from diagnosis. Overall survival at 3 years from transplantation is estimated at 93%, and progression-free survival is estimated at 61%. High-dose treatment with (131)I-Tositumomab, etoposide, and cyclophosphamide results in a high remission rate and may provide long-term disease-free survival for patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma.
