RESUMEN

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.

RESUMEN

High-dose therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) can improve outcomes for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) but is associated with a high incidence of relapse. A retrospective study of 191 MCL patients who underwent ASCT at City of Hope was performed to examine prognostic factors for outcomes after ASCT. For all patients the 5-year overall survival (OS) was 71% (95% confidence interval [CI], 63% to 77%) and progression-free survival (PFS) was 53% (95% CI, 45% to 60%). The 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 41% (95% CI, 34% to 48%) with a continuous pattern of relapse events occurring at a median of 2.1 years (range, .2 to 13.4) after ASCT. In multivariate analysis, post-transplant maintenance rituximab was the factor most significantly associated with both OS (relative risk [RR], .17; 95% CI, .07 to .38) and PFS (RR, .25; 95% CI, .14 to .44). For the subset of patients who had positron emission tomography (PET) data available and were in a PET-negative first complete remission at ASCT (n = 105), maintenance rituximab was significantly associated with superior OS (RR, .17; 95% CI, .05 to .59) and PFS (RR, .20; 95% CI, .09 to .43). These results support a benefit with maintenance rituximab for all MCL patients treated with ASCT.

RESUMEN

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.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT) is potentially curative for relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-cell NHL). However, relapse remains a major cause of treatment failure, especially in patients with either positron emission tomography (PET)-positive and/or chemoresistant disease prior to alloHCT. 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) is a radiolabeled anti-CD20 antibody which is a safe and effective therapy in multiple histologic subtypes of B-cell NHL and has also been incorporated in both autologous HCT (autoHCT) and alloHCT conditioning regimens. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and confirm the safety of the radiolabeled anti-CD20 antibody ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) combined with the reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen of fludarabine and melphalan (Flu/Mel) in patients with high-risk B-cell NHL. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a phase II trial (NCT00577278) of Zevalin with Flu/Mel in patients with high-risk B-cell NHL. We enrolled 41 patients from October 2007 to April 2014, all of whom had either a fully matched sibling or 8/8 or 7/8 matched unrelated donor (MUD). Patients received 111In-Zevalin (5.0 mCi) on day -21 pre-HCT, followed by 90Y-Zevalin (0.4 mCi/kg) on day -14. Fludarabine (25 mg/m2 daily) was given from days -9 to -5 and melphalan (140 mg/m2) was administered on day -4. All patients received rituximab 250 mg/m2 on day +8 and an additional dose on either day +1 or -21 depending on the baseline rituximab level. Patients with a low rituximab level were given rituximab on days -21 and -15. All patients received tacrolimus/sirolimus (T/S) with or without methotrexate (MTX) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis starting on day -3, and stem cells were infused on day 0. RESULTS: The 2-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for all patients were 63% and 61%, respectively. The incidence of relapse at 2 years was 20%. Nonrelapse mortality (NRM) at day +100 and 1 year were 5% and 12%, respectively. The overall cumulative incidence of grade II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) were 44% and 15%, respectively. Extensive chronic GVHD (cGVHD) occurred in 44% of patients. On univariate analysis, histology (diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) vs. others) was negatively predictive for OS (P = .0013) and PFS (P = .0004), while histology (DLBCL vs. others, P = .0128) predicted for relapse. PET positivity pre-HCT did not correlate with any of the efficacy endpoints. CONCLUSION: Addition of Zevalin to Flu/Mel is safe and effective in high-risk NHL and met the prespecific endpoint. Results were suboptimal in patients with DLBCL.

RESUMEN

We report feasibility and response results of a phase II study investigating prolonged weekly bortezomib and dexamethasone followed by thalidomide and dexamethasone as maintenance therapy after single autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients with multiple myeloma. Within 4 to 8 weeks of ASCT, patients received weekly bortezomib and dexamethasone for six cycles, followed by thalidomide and dexamethasone for six more cycles. Thalidomide alone was continued until disease progression. Forty-five patients underwent ASCT. Forty patients started maintenance therapy; of these, 36 patients received four cycles, and 32 completed six cycles of maintenance bortezomib. Of these 40 patients, nine (22%) were in complete response (CR) before ASCT, 13 (32%) achieved CR after ASCT but before bortezomib maintenance therapy, and 21 (53%) achieved CR after bortezomib maintenance therapy. Nine patients not previously in CR (33%) upgraded their response to CR with bortezomib maintenance. At 1 year post-ASCT, 20 patients achieved CR, and two achieved very good partial response. Twenty-seven patients experienced peripheral neuropathy during bortezomib therapy, all grade 1 or 2. Our findings indicate that prolonged sequential weekly bortezomib, dexamethasone, and thalidomide maintenance therapy after single ASCT is feasible and well tolerated. Bortezomib maintenance treatment upgraded post-ASCT CR responses with no severe grade 3/4 peripheral neuropathy.

RESUMEN

We report results of our prospective pilot trial evaluating safety/feasibility of peritransplantation ruxolitinib for myelofibrosis treatment. Primary objectives were to determine safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ruxolitinib. Ruxolitinib was administered at 2 dose levels (DLs) of 5 and 10 mg twice daily, with fludarabine/melphalan conditioning regimen and tacrolimus/sirolimus graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. We enrolled 6 and 12 patients at DL1 and DL2, respectively. Median age at transplantation was 65 years (range, 25-73). Per Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System, 4 patients were high and 14 intermediate risk. Peripheral blood stem cells were graft source from matched sibling (n = 5) or unrelated (n = 13) donor. At each DL, 1 patient developed dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs): grade 3 cardiac and gastrointestinal with grade 4 pulmonary DLTs in DL1, and grade 3 kidney injury in DL2. All patients achieved engraftment. Grade 2 to 4 and 3 to 4 acute GVHD cumulative incidence was 17% (95% confidence interval [CI], 6-47) and 11% (95% CI, 3-41), respectively. Cumulative incidence of 1-year chronic GVHD was 42% (95% CI, 24-74). With 22.6-month (range, 6.2-25.8) median follow-up in surviving patients, 1-year overall and progression-free survival were 77% (95% CI, 50-91) and 71% (95% CI, 44-87), respectively. Causes of death (n = 4) were cardiac arrest, GVHD, respiratory failure, and refractory GVHD of liver. Our results show peritransplantation ruxolitinib is safe and well tolerated at MTD of 10 mg twice daily and associated with dose-dependent pharmacokinetic and cytokine profile. Early efficacy data are highly promising in high-risk older patients with myelofibrosis. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02917096.

RESUMEN

Patients with peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) have a poor prognosis with current treatment approaches. We examined the outcomes of high-dose therapy (HDT) and autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (AHCT) on the treatment of PTCL and the impact of patient/disease features on long-term outcome. Sixty-seven patients with PTCL-not otherwise specified (n = 30), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (n = 30), and angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (n = 7) underwent HDT/AHCT at the City of Hope. The median age was 48 years (range: 5-78). Twelve were transplanted in first complete remission (1CR)/partial remission (PR) and 55 with relapsed or induction failure disease (RL/IF). With a median follow-up for surviving patients of 65.8 months (range: 24.5-216.0) the 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 54% and 40%, respectively. The 5-year PFS was 75% for 1CR/PR compared to 32% for RL/IF patients (P = .01). When the Prognostic Index for PTCL unspecified (PIT) was applied at the time of transplant, patients in the PIT 3-4 group had 5-year PFS of only 8%. These results show that HDT/AHCT can improve long-term disease control in relapsed/refractory PTCL and that HDT/AHCT should ideally be applied either during 1CR/PR, or as part of upfront treatment. More effective and novel therapies are needed for patients with high-risk disease (PIT 3-4 factors) and allogeneic HCT should be explored in these patients.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive and incurable lymphoma. Standard of care for younger patients with MCL is induction chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-HCT). Rituximab maintenance after auto-HCT has been shown to improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in MCL. Bortezomib maintenance therapy has also been shown to be tolerable and feasible in this setting. However, the combination of bortezomib and rituximab as maintenance therapy post-auto-HCT has not been studied. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter, phase II trial of bortezomib given in combination with rituximab as maintenance in MCL patients after consolidative auto-HCT. Enrolled patients (n = 23) received bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 subcutaneously weekly for 4 weeks every 3 months (up to 24 months) and rituximab 375 mg/m2 intravenously weekly for 4 weeks every 6 months (up to 24 months) for a total duration of 2 years. The primary study endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS). RESULTS: With a median follow-up of 35.9 months, the 2-year DFS probability was 90.2% (95% CI 66-97), and 2-year OS was 94.7% (95% CI 68-99). The most frequent grade 3/4 toxic events were neutropenia (in 74% of patients) and lymphopenia (in 35%). The incidence of peripheral neuropathy was 48% for grade 1, 9% for grade 2, and 0% for grade 3/4. We also examined the role of quantitative cyclin D1 (CCND1) mRNA in monitoring minimal residual disease. CONCLUSION: Combined bortezomib and rituximab as maintenance therapy in MCL patients following auto-HCT is an active and well-tolerated regimen.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Patients seropositive for cytomegalovirus (CMV) and undergoing allogeneic haemopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HCT) are at risk for CMV reactivation. Stimulating viral immunity by vaccination might achieve CMV viraemia control without the need for antiviral agents. CMVPepVax is a chimeric peptide composed of a cytotoxic CD8 T-cell epitope from CMV pp65 and a tetanus T-helper epitope. It is formulated with the adjuvant PF03512676, a Toll-like receptor 9 agonist, which augments cellular immunity. We aimed to assess safety, immunogenicity, and possible clinical benefit of the CMVPepVax vaccine in patients undergoing HCT. METHODS: We did a randomised, open-label, phase 1b trial at one transplant centre in the USA. Eligible patients were CMV-seropositive, positive for HLA-A*0201, aged 18-75 years, and undergoing HCT from a matched-related or matched-unrelated donor. Patients were reassessed for eligibility on day 28 after HCT. We randomly allocated patients to either the CMVPepVax vaccine or observation, in blocks stratified by CMV donor serostatus. CMVPepVax was administered subcutaneously on days 28 and 56. The primary outcome was safety, which consisted of secondary graft failure, grade III-IV acute GVHD, non-relapse mortality by day 100, serious adverse events related to the vaccine (judged by the data and safety monitoring committee [DSMC]) grade 3-4 adverse events related to the vaccine (judged by the DSMC) within 2 weeks of vaccination, and development of double-strand (ds) DNA autoantibodies. Statistical analyses included all randomised patients and were done per-protocol. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01588015. This trial is closed to accrual and the final analysis is presented in this report. FINDINGS: Between Oct 31, 2012, and Nov 5, 2014, 36 eligible patients were allocated to either CMVPepVax (n=18) or observation (n=18), with no adverse effect on HCT (no secondary graft failures in either group) or cases of acute GVHD (seven patients assigned vaccine and six under observation had acute GVHD of grade 2 or less), and no unexpected adverse events. Compared with observation, better relapse-free survival was recorded in patients allocated the vaccine (seven vs one; hazard ratio [HR] 0·12, 95% CI 0·01-0·94; p=0·015). No patients had non-relapse mortality by day 100. One serious adverse event (grade 1 fever) was attributed to CMVPepVax but resolved within 48 h. Four patients assigned the vaccine had a serious adverse event, which was unrelated to the vaccine (grade 3 thrombocytopenia, grade 3 device-related infection, grade 2 nausea, and grade 1 fever), compared with nine patients under observation (grade 4 maculopapular rash, grade 3 nausea, grade 3 infection, grade 3 thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpurea, grade 2 nausea, grade 2 generalised muscle weakness, grade 2 infection, grade 1 fever, and grade 1 fatigue; p=0·16). 54 grade 3-4 adverse events were reported in patients assigned the vaccine compared with 91 in patients who were under observation (p=0·2). No patients had grade III-IV acute GVHD or developed dsDNA autoantibodies. INTERPRETATION: The results show safety and immunogenicity of the CMVPepVax vaccine. The prospect of substantial clinical benefits warrant testing in a phase 2 trial. FUNDING: National Cancer Institute.

RESUMEN

We report a consecutive series of 59 patients with MDS who underwent reduced-intensity hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (RI-HSCT) with fludarabine/melphalan conditioning and tacrolimus/sirolimus-based GVHD prophylaxis. Two-year OS, EFS, and relapse incidences were 75.1%, 65.2%, and 20.9%, respectively. The cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality at 100 days, 1 year, and 2 years was 3.4%, 8.5%, and 10.5%, respectively. The incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD was 35.4%; grade III-IV was 18.6%. Forty of 55 evaluable patients developed chronic GVHD; of these 35 were extensive grade. This RI-HSCT protocol produces encouraging outcomes in MDS patients, and tacrolimus/sirolimus-based GVHD prophylaxis may contribute to that promising result.

RESUMEN

Anaplasma phagocytophilum, an unusual obligate intracellular pathogen that persists within neutrophils, causes human anaplasmosis (previously known as human granulocytic ehrlichiosis). To study the effects of this pathogen on the transcriptional profile of its host cell, we performed a comprehensive DNA microarray analysis of the early (4-h) transcriptional response of human neutrophils to A. phagocytophilum infection. A. phagocytophilum infection resulted in the up- and down-regulation of 177 and 67 neutrophil genes, respectively. These data were verified by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR of selected genes. Notably, the up-regulation of many antiapoptotic genes, including the BCL2A1, BIRC3, and CFLAR genes, and the down-regulation of the proapoptotic TNFSF10 gene were observed. Genes involved in inflammation, innate immunity, cytoskeletal remodeling, and vesicular transport also exhibited differential expression. Vascular endothelial growth factor was also induced. These data suggest that A. phagocytophilum may alter selected host pathways in order to facilitate its survival within human neutrophils. To gain further insight into the bacterium's influence on host cell gene expression, this report presents a detailed comparative analysis of our data and other gene expression profiling studies of A. phagocytophilum-infected neutrophils and promyelocytic cell lines.
