RESUMEN
The optimal myeloablative conditioning regimen for ALL patients undergoing hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) with an alternative donor is unknown. We analyzed HCT outcomes ALL patients (n = 269) who underwent HCT at our center from 2010 to 2020 in complete remission (CR) after FTBI-etoposide and CNI-based GvHD prophylaxis for matched donor HCT (ETOP-package; n = 196) or FTBI-Fludarabine and post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based prophylaxis for HLA- mismatched (related or unrelated) donors (FLU-package; n = 64). Patients in FLU-package showed a significant delay in engraftment (p < 0.001) and lower cumulative incidence (CI) of any and extensive chronic GVHD (p = 0.009 and 0.001, respectively). At the median follow up of 4.6 years (range 1-12 years); non-relapse mortality, overall or leukemia-free survival and GVHD-free/relapse-free survival were not significantly impacted by the choice of conditioning. However, in patients at CR2 or with measurable residual disease (MRD+), there was a trend towards higher relapse after FLU-package (p = 0.08 and p = 0.07, respectively), while patients at CR1 regardless of MRD status had similar outcomes despite the package/donor type (p = 0.9 and 0.7, respectively). Our data suggests that FLU-package for alternative donors offers comparable outcomes to ETOP-package for matched donor HCT to treat ALL. Disease status and depth of remission at HCT were independent predictors for better outcomes.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Midostaurin is a multikinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 mutated (FLT3m) acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Azole antifungal medications are commonly used in AML and are known to interact with anti-cancer drugs such as midostaurin through the CYP3A pathway. However, there are no midostaurin related dose modifications recommended with strong CYP3A inhibitors. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 40 patients between 2017-2022 and compared efficacy and safety outcomes in patients who received azole antifungals concurrently to those who did not receive an azole or received it sequentially to midostaurin for treatment of FLT3m AML. RESULTS: Median age of both groups was approximately 55 years and 70% of patients harbored FLT-3 internal tandem duplication mutations. Most patients in the concurrent arm were on either posaconazole (33%) or isavuconazole (50%) for antifungal prophylaxis and micafungin (72%) for the sequential/no azole arm. Overall CR/CRi rate with concurrent versus sequential/no azole were 72% and 77%, and non-hematologic grade 3 toxicities were 22% and 40% (p = 0.21), respectively. Rates of dose reductions (6% vs. 0%, p = 0.26) and held doses (17% vs. 14%, p = 0.79) were not different between concurrent and sequential/no azole. There were no differences in the rates of new fungal infection during induction between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Azoles given concurrently or sequentially with midostaurin were found to be equally safe and effective in the treatment of newly diagnosed FLT3 AML. Additional confirmatory studies are needed due to our limited sample size.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) remains the only curative treatment for most patients with hematological malignancies. A well-matched donor (related or unrelated) remains as the preferred donor for patients undergoing allogeneic HCT; however, a large number of patients rely on alternative donor choices of mismatched related (haploidentical) or unrelated donors to access HCT. In this retrospective study, we described outcomes of patients who underwent mismatched donor (related or unrelated) HCT with radiation-based MAC regimen in combination with FLU, and PTCy as higher intensity GVHD prophylaxis. We analyzed outcomes based on donor type. METHODS: We retrospectively assessed HCT outcomes in 155 patients who underwent mismatched donor HCT [related/haploidentical vs unrelated (MMUD)] with fractionated-total body irradiation (FTBI) plus fludarabine and post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis at City of Hope from 2015 to 2021. Diagnoses included ALL (46.5%), AML (36.1%) and MDS (6.5%). The median age at HCT was 38 years and 126 (81.3%) patients were from ethnic minorities. HCT-CI was ≥3 in 36.1% and 29% had a disease-risk-index (DRI) of high/very high. Donor type was haplo (67.1%) or MMUD (32.9%). RESULTS: At 2-years post-HCT, disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) for all subjects were 75.4% and 80.6%, respectively. Donor type did not impact OS [HR=0.72, (95% CI: 0.35,1.49), p=0.37] and DFS [HR=0.78, (95% CI: 0.41,1.48), p=0.44] but younger donors resulted in less grade III-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD, [HR=6.60, (95% CI: 1.80,24.19), p=0.004] and less moderate or severe chronic GVHD [HR=3.53, (95% CI: 1.70,7.34), p<0.001] with a trend toward better survival (p=0.099). MMUD led to significantly faster neutrophil (median 15 vs 16 days, p=0.014) and platelet recovery (median 18 vs 24 days, p=0.029); however, there was no difference in GVHD outcomes between these groups. Non-relapse mortality [HR=0.86, (95% CI: 0.34,2.20), p=0.76] and relapse risk [HR=0.78, 95%CI: (0.33,1.85), p=0.57] were comparable between the two groups. Patient age <40-years and low-intermediate DRI showed a DFS benefit (p=0.004 and 0.029, respectively). High or very High DRI was the only predictor of increased relapse [HR=2.89, 95%CI: (1.32, 6.34), p=0.008]. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, FLU/FTBI with PTCy was well-tolerated in mismatched donor HCT, regardless of relationship with patient, provided promising results, and improved access to HCT for patients without a matched donor especially patients from ethnic minorities and mixed race.
RESUMEN
While intensive induction chemotherapy (IC) remains the standard of care for younger patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), data from older patients shows that hypomethylating agents + venetoclax (HMA/VEN) can lead to durable remissions among patients with NPM1 mutations. Whether IC or HMA/VEN is superior in patients ≥60 years-old with NPM1-mutant AML is unknown. To compare IC and HMA/VEN, we performed an international, multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients with newly diagnosed, NPM1-mutant AML.We included 221 patients (147 IC, 74 HMA/VEN) with previously untreated NPM1-mutant AML. Composite complete remission (cCR; defined as CR + CR with incomplete count recovery [CRi]) rate was similar for IC and HMA/VEN (cCR: 85% vs. 74%; p=0.067). While OS was favorable with IC in unselected patients compared to HMA/VEN (24-month OS 59% [95% CI: 52-69%] vs. 38% [95% CI 27-55%]; p=0.013), it was not statistically different among patients 60-75 years-old (60% [95% CI 52-70%] vs. 44% [95% CI 29-66%]; p=0.069) and patients who received an allogeneic stem cell transplant (70% [95% CI: 58-85%] vs. 66% [95% CI: 44-100%]; p=0.56). Subgroup analyses suggested that patients with normal cytogenetics (24-month OS with IC 65% [95% 56-74%] vs. 40% [95% CI: 26-60%] with HMA/VEN; p=0.009) and without FLT3-ITD mutations might benefit from IC compared with HMA/VEN (24-month OS: 68% [95% CI: 59-79%] vs. 43% [95% CI: 29-63%]; p=0.008). In multivariable analysis, OS was not statistically different for patients treated with IC and HMA/VEN (hazard ratio for death HMA/VEN vs. IC: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.40-1.27; p=0.25).
RESUMEN
CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy has led to unprecedented rates of complete remission (CR) in children and adults with relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), yet the majority of adults relapse after initial response. One proposed method to extend the durability of remission in adults following response to CAR-T therapy is consolidation with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). Considering the limited published data for the utility of post CAR-T therapy consolidative alloHCT in r/r B-ALL, especially data related to patients receiving a second alloHCT, we sought to describe outcomes of patients with r/r B-ALL at our institution who received their first or second alloHCT following response to CAR-T therapy. We performed a retrospective analysis of adult patients with r/r B-ALL who responded to either investigational or standard of care (SOC) CD19-targeted CAR-T therapy and underwent consolidation with alloHCT while in CR without interim therapy. We identified 45 patients, of whom 26 (58%) and 19 (42%) received their first and second alloHCT as consolidation post CAR-T therapy, respectively. The median age was 31 years (range: 19-67) and 31 (69%) patients were Hispanic. Ph-like was the most common genetic subtype and comprised over half of cases (53%; n = 24). The median number of prior therapies pre-transplant was 5 (range: 2-7), and disease status at the time of alloHCT was CR1, CR2 or ≥CR3 in 7 (16%), 22 (49%) and 16 (35%) patients, respectively. The median time from CAR-T therapy until alloHCT was 93 (range: 42-262) days. The conditioning regimen was radiation-based myeloablative (MAC) in 22 (49%) patients. With a median follow-up of 2.47 years (range: 0.13-6.93), 2-year overall survival (OS), relapse free survival (RFS), cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were 57.3% (95% CI: 0.432-0.760), 56.2% (95% CI: 0.562-0.745), 23.3% (95% CI: 0.13-0.42), and 20.4% (95% CI: 0.109-0.384), respectively. Two-year OS (52% vs. 68%, P = .641), RFS (54% vs. 59%, P = .820), CIR (33.5% vs. 8.5%, P = .104), and NRM (12.5% vs. 32.2%, P = .120) were not significantly different between patients who underwent their first vs. second transplant, respectively. In univariate analysis, only Ph-like genotype was associated with inferior RFS (P = .03). AlloHCT post CAR-T response is associated with a relatively low early mortality rate and encouraging survival results in high-risk adults with r/r B-ALL, extending to the second alloHCT for fit and eligible patients.

AMG 330, a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE®) that binds CD33 and CD3 on T cells facilitates T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity against CD33+ cells. This first-in-human, open-label, dose-escalation study evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of AMG 330 in adults with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML). Amongst 77 patients treated with AMG 330 (0.5 µg/day-1.6 mg/day) on 14-day or 28-day cycles, maximum tolerated dose was not reached; median duration of treatment was 29 days. The most frequent treatment-related adverse events were cytokine release syndrome (CRS; 78%) and rash (30%); 10% of patients experienced grade 3/4 CRS. CRS was mitigated with stepwise dosing of AMG 330, prophylactic dexamethasone, and early treatment with tocilizumab. Among 60 evaluable patients, eight achieved complete remission or morphologic leukemia-free state; of the 52 non-responders, 37% had ≥50% reduction in AML bone marrow blasts. AMG 330 is a promising CD33-targeted therapeutic strategy for R/R AML.

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) offers a potential cure in Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); nonetheless, relapses are common and the major cause of mortality. One strategy to prevent relapse is tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) maintenance post-HCT, but published clinical experience is primarily with the first-generation TKI imatinib while data with newer generation TKIs are limited. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 185 Ph+ ALL patients who underwent HCT followed by TKI maintenance from 2003 to 2021 at City of Hope. Initially, 50 (27.0%) received imatinib, 118 (63.8%) received a second-generation TKI (2G-TKI), and 17 (9.2%) received ponatinib. A total of 77 patients (41.6%) required a dose reduction of their initial TKI due to toxicity. Sixty-six patients (35.7%) did not complete maintenance due to toxicity; 69 patients (37.3%) discontinued 1 TKI, and 11 (5.9%) discontinued 2 TKIs due to toxicity. Initial imatinib versus 2G-TKI versus ponatinib maintenance was discontinued in 19 (38.0%) versus 68 (57.6%) versus 3 (17.6%) patients due to toxicity (p = .003), respectively. Patients on ponatinib as their initial TKI had a longer duration of TKI maintenance versus 2G-TKI: 576.0 days (range, 72-921) versus 254.5 days (range, 3-2740; p = .02). The most common reasons for initial TKI discontinuation include gastrointestinal (GI) intolerance (15.1%), cytopenia (8.6%), and fluid retention (3.8%). The 5-year overall survival and progression-free survival for the total population were 78% and 71%, respectively. Our findings demonstrate the challenges of delivering post-HCT TKI maintenance in a large real-world cohort as toxicities leading to TKI interruptions, discontinuation, and dose reduction were common.

BRAF mutations are rare in myeloid neoplasms and are reported to be associated with poor treatment outcomes. The purpose of our study is to characterize BRAF mutations in myeloid neoplasms using a next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel based on the experiences of a single cancer center. We conducted a retrospective review of patients with myeloid neoplasms who underwent the HopeSeq studies between January 2018 and September 2023. A total of 14 patients with myeloid neoplasms carrying BRAF mutations were included in our cohort. The clinical, pathological, and molecular features of these patients were investigated. Our study indicates that BRAF mutations are rare in myeloid neoplasms, constituting only 0.53% (14/2632) of all myeloid neoplasm cases, with the most common BRAF mutation being BRAF V600E (4/14; 28.6%). Interestingly, we observed that six out of seven patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) exhibited AML with monocytic differentiation, and all the patients with AML exhibited an extremely poor prognosis compared to those without BRAF mutations. TET2 (5/14; 35.7%), ASXL1 (4/14; 28.6%), and JAK2 (4/14; 28.6%) were the three most frequently co-mutated genes in these patients. Moreover, we noted concurrent KMT2A gene rearrangement with BRAF mutations in three patients with AML (3/7; 42.9%). Our study suggests that although BRAF mutations are rare in myeloid neoplasms, they play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of specific AML subtypes. Furthermore, RAS pathway alterations, including BRAF mutations, are associated with KMT2A gene rearrangement in AML. However, these findings warrant further validation in larger studies.

Therapy-related acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (tr-ALL) is a disease entity attributed to previous exposure to chemotherapy and/or radiation for antecedent malignancy. There is observed female predominance for tr-ALL, likely due to high prevalence and excellent curable rate for non-metastatic breast cancer as well as the frequent use of carcinogenic agents as part of adjuvant therapy. Here, we reviewed 37 women with diagnosis of ALL following breast cancer treatment with focus on cytogenetic categorization. Philadelphia chromosome positivity (Ph+), KMT2A alterations and other cytogenetic change groups were observed in 32%, 22% and 46% of patients respectively. Median overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were 19.4 and 12.9 months, overall while both OS and RFS were superior in tr-ALL with Ph+ disease compared to KMT2Ar and other cytogenetics respectively. Seventeen (45.9%) patients underwent consolidative allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) in CR1 out of which 4 (24%) relapsed following transplant. Both OS and RFS were superior in the KMT2Ar cytogenetics group following alloHCT. Ph chromosome represents the largest genetic entity of tr-ALL following breast cancer therapy, and it may be associated with superior survival outcomes while KMT2Ar may be associated with poorer outcomes that can perhaps be mitigated by alloHSCT.

ABSTRACT: Ivosidenib is a first-in-class mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (mIDH1) inhibitor with efficacy and tolerability in patients with advanced mIDH1 hematologic malignancies, leading to approval in frontline and relapsed/refractory (R/R) mIDH1 acute myeloid leukemia. We report final data from a phase 1 single-arm substudy of once-daily ivosidenib in patients with R/R mIDH1 myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after failure of standard-of-care therapies. Primary objectives were to determine safety, tolerability, and clinical activity. The primary efficacy end point was the complete remission (CR) + partial remission (PR) rate. Nineteen patients were enrolled; 18 were included in the efficacy analysis. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 8 (42.1%) patients, including a grade 1 QT interval prolongation in 1 (5.3%) patient and grade 2 differentiation syndrome in 2 (10.5%) patients. Rates of CR + PR and objective response (CR + PR + marrow CR) were 38.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 17.3-64.3) and 83.3% (95% CI, 58.6-96.4), respectively. Kaplan-Meier estimates showed a 68.6% probability of patients in CR achieving a remission duration of ≥5 years, and a median overall survival of 35.7 months. Of note, 71.4% and 75.0% baseline red blood cell (RBC)- and platelet-transfusion-dependent patients, respectively, became transfusion independent (TI; no transfusion for ≥56 days); 81.8% and 100% of baseline RBC and platelet TI patients, respectively, remained TI. One (5.3%) patient proceeded to a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. In conclusion, ivosidenib is clinically active, with durable remissions and a manageable safety profile observed in these patients. This trial was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT02074839.

CD123 "expression" is common in hematological malignancies, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Flotetuzumab is a novel, investigational CD3/CD123 DART®. We conducted a phase 1 study evaluating safety and efficacy of flotetuzumab in relapsed/refractory ALL (Cohort A) and other advanced CD123-positive hematological malignancies (excluding myeloid malignancies) (cohort B). Thirteen patients (9 in Cohort A and 4 in Cohort B) were treated at dose level 1 (500 ng/kg/day) before early closure due to discontinuation of drug development by sponsor. Two dose limiting toxicities (Grade 4 thrombocytopenia and neutropenia) occurred in one patient in Cohort B. Cytokine release syndrome occurred in most patients (85%), all being grade ≤2. Responses only occurred in Cohort B, with a partial response in one patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma and morphological complete remission in the bone marrow in one patient with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm. In conclusion, flotetuzumab had a manageable safety profile in advanced CD123-positive hematological malignancies.

OBJECTIVE: We conducted a phase 1 study of a conditioning regimen with or without total marrow irradiation (TMI) before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with high-risk or refractory multiple myeloma. METHODS: Eighteen patients were enrolled on one of 2 strata. Patients with no prior radiation received TMI (900 cGy), fludarabine (FLU), and melphalan (MEL) conditioning, with bortezomib added in the second cohort (stratum I). Patients with prior radiation received FLU, MEL, and bortezomib, without TMI (stratum II). RESULTS: Eight patients were enrolled in the TMI arm (stratum I). One of 3 patients in cohort 1 experienced dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), which led to the expansion to 3 more patients with no DLT. Cohort 2 enrolled only 2 patients due to low accrual, with bortezomib, added at 0.5 mg/m 2 ; neither experienced DLT. Nine patients were enrolled in the non-TMI arm (stratum II). Three patients were enrolled in cohort 1 (bortezomib 0.5 mg/m 2 ) and none experienced DLT. Three were enrolled in cohort 2 (bortezomib 0.7 mg/m 2 ), and 1 experienced DLT; therefore, the cohort expanded to 3 more patients. One more patient experienced DLT. Median overall survival on strata I and II was 44.5 months (95% CI: 1.73-not reached) and 21.6 months (95% CI: 4.1-72.7), respectively. Median progression-free survival on strata I and II was 18.1 months (95% CI: 1.73-not reached) and 8.9 months (95% CI: 2.7-24.4), respectively. CONCLUSION: TMI 900 cGy, FLU, and MEL are considered feasible as conditioning for allogeneic stem cell transplantation and may warrant further investigation due to favorable response rates and survival.

Molecularly defined secondary acute myeloid leukemia is associated with a prior myeloid neoplasm and confers a worse prognosis. We compared outcomes of molecularly defined secondary AML patients (n = 395) treated with daunorubicin and cytarabine (7 + 3, n = 167), liposomal daunorubicin and cytarabine (CPX-351, n = 66) or hypomethylating agents (HMA) + venetoclax (VEN) (n = 162). Median overall survival (OS) was comparable between treatment groups among patients aged >60 years. In a multivariable model HMA + VEN vs. 7 + 3 was associated with better OS (hazard ratio [HR] 0.64 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.42-0.98, p = 0.041]), whereas CPX-351 vs. 7 + 3 was not (HR 0.79 [CI 95% 0.50-1.25, p = 0.31]). Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, BCOR and IDH mutations were associated with improved OS; older age, prior myeloid disease, NRAS/KRAS mutations, EZH2 mutation, and monosomal karyotype were associated with worse OS. When analyzed in each treatment separately, the IDH co-mutations benefit was seen with 7 + 3 and the detrimental effect of NRAS/KRAS co-mutations with HMA + VEN and CPX-351. In pairwise comparisons adjusted for age, HMA + VEN was associated with improved OS vs. 7 + 3 in patients with SF3B1 mutation and improved OS vs. CPX-351 in those with RNA splicing factor mutations. In molecularly defined secondary AML treatment with HMA + VEN might be preferred but could further be guided by co-mutations.

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) predominantly occurs in adults ≥60 years old; 10-20% of cases are pediatric or adolescent/young adult (AYA) patients. Tagraxofusp (TAG, Elzonris®) is the only approved treatment for BPDCN; in the United States it is approved for patients aged ≥2 years. Data on treating pediatric and AYA BPDCN patients are limited. We present a case series of pediatric and AYA patients with BPDCN treated with TAG. Eight patients (five newly diagnosed; three relapsed/refractory [R/R]), aged 2-21 years, received 12 mcg/kg TAG. Seven patients were female; most had skin (n = 6) and/or bone marrow (n = 4) involvement. No new safety signals were identified. Grade 3 adverse events were headache (n = 1) and transaminitis (n = 2). Three patients with newly diagnosed BPDCN achieved complete response, one achieved partial response, and one had stable disease (SD). One patient with R/R BPDCN achieved a minor response; one had SD. Seven patients (88%) were bridged to stem cell transplant: 80% of newly diagnosed patients and 100% of R/R patients. Five patients remained alive at last follow-up. These cases highlight the efficacy and safety of TAG in pediatric and AYA patients for whom there is no other approved BPDCN therapy.
RESUMEN
Relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations remains a difficult and hard to treat entity. Gilteritinib is a potent oral FLT-3 inhibitor that improves overall survival in R/R AML, but studies are limited in combining gilteritinib with a hypomethylating agent and venetoclax treatment backbone (HMA-VEN-GILT). Here we report our experience with HMA-VEN-GILT for 22 R/R FLT3 AML patients. HMA-VEN-GILT yielded an ORR of 77.3% (17/22), CR 4.5% (1/22), CRi 13.6% (3/22), MLFS 59.1% (13/22). Median follow-up was 10.4 months with a relapse rate of 29.4% (5/17), median time to relapse of 69 days (range 35-298 days), 6-month overall survival of 84%, and median OS of 10.1 months. Additionally, 36.4% (8/22) of patients proceeded to hematopoietic stem cell transplant. In conclusion, HMA-VEN-GILT for the treatment of R/R FLT3 AML is feasible and can be used as a bridge to allogeneic transplantation.
