Remission, treatment failure, and relapse in pediatric ALL: an international consensus of the Ponte-di-Legno Consortium.

Comparison of treatment strategies in de novo pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) requires standardized measures of efficacy. Key parameters that define disease-related events, including complete remission (CR), treatment failure (TF; not achieving CR), and relapse (loss of CR) require an updated consensus incorporating modern diagnostics. We collected the definitions of CR, TF, and relapse from recent and current pediatric clinical trials for the treatment of ALL, including the key components of response evaluation (timing, anatomic sites, detection methods, and thresholds) and found significant heterogeneity, most notably in the definition of TF. Representatives of the major international ALL clinical trial groups convened to establish consensus definitions. CR should be defined at a time point no earlier than at the end of induction and should include the reduction of blasts below a specific threshold in bone marrow and extramedullary sites, incorporating minimal residual disease (MRD) techniques for marrow evaluations. TF should be defined as failure to achieve CR by a prespecified time point in therapy. Relapse can only be defined in patients who have achieved CR and must include a specific threshold of leukemic cells in the bone marrow confirmed by MRD, the detection of central nervous system leukemia, or documentation of extramedullary disease. Definitions of TF and relapse should harmonize with eligibility criteria for clinical trials in relapsed/refractory ALL. These consensus definitions will enhance the ability to compare outcomes across pediatric ALL trials and facilitate development of future international collaborative trials.

CD34+CD19-CD22+ B-cell progenitors may underlie phenotypic escape in patients treated with CD19-directed therapies.

CD19-directed immunotherapies have revolutionized the treatment of advanced B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Despite initial impressive rates of complete remission (CR) many patients ultimately relapse. Patients with B-ALL successfully treated with CD19-directed T cells eventually relapse, which, coupled with the early onset of CD22 expression during B-cell development, suggests that preexisting CD34+CD22+CD19- (pre)-leukemic cells represent an "early progenitor origin-related" mechanism underlying phenotypic escape to CD19-directed immunotherapies. We demonstrate that CD22 expression precedes CD19 expression during B-cell development. CD34+CD19-CD22+ cells are found in diagnostic and relapsed bone marrow samples of ∼70% of patients with B-ALL, and their frequency increases twofold in patients with B-ALL in CR after CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. The median of CD34+CD19-CD22+ cells before treatment was threefold higher in patients in whom B-ALL relapsed after CD19-directed immunotherapy (median follow-up, 24 months). Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis in flow-sorted cell populations and xenograft modeling revealed that CD34+CD19-CD22+ cells harbor the genetic abnormalities present at diagnosis and initiate leukemogenesis in vivo. Our data suggest that preleukemic CD34+CD19-CD22+ progenitors underlie phenotypic escape after CD19-directed immunotherapies and reinforce ongoing clinical studies aimed at CD19/CD22 dual targeting as a strategy for reducing CD19- relapses. The implementation of CD34/CD19/CD22 immunophenotyping in clinical laboratories for initial diagnosis and subsequent monitoring of patients with B-ALL during CD19-targeted therapy is encouraged.

Inotuzumab ozogamicin combined with chemotherapy in pediatric B-cell precursor CD22+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia: results of the phase IB ITCC-059 trial.

Inotuzumab Ozogamicin (InO) is a CD22-directed antibody conjugated with calicheamicin. The Phase 1B of the ITCC-059 trial tested InO combined with chemotherapy in pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). Relapsed /refractory CD22+ BCP-ALL pediatric patients were enrolled. The primary objective was to establish the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D). Secondary objectives included preliminary efficacy and tolerability. InO was combined with 1.5 mg/m2 of vincristine (days 3, 10, 17, 24), 20 mg/m2 of dexamethasone (two 5-day blocks, then amended), and intrathecal therapy. A rolling-6 design was used testing InO from 0.8 to 1.8 mg/m2/cycle. Between May-2020 and Apr-2022, 30 patients were treated, and 29 were evaluable for dose limiting toxicities (DLTs). At 1.1 mg/m2/cycle, two out of four patients had DLTs (liver toxicity). InO was de-escalated to 0.8 mg/m2/cycle (n=6) without DLTs while awaiting a protocol amendment to reduce dexamethasone dose to 10 mg/m2. Post amendment, InO was re-escalated to 1.1 mg/m2/cycle (n=6, 1 DLT), then to 1.4 mg/m2/cycle (n=3, no DLTs), and finally to 1.8 mg/m2/cycle (n=7, 1 DLT). Three additional patients were treated in an expansion cohort. The pooled response rate was 80% (24/30; 95%CI: 61.4% to 92.3%) and, among responders, 66.7% achieved minimal residual disease negativity. The RP2D of InO combined with vincristine, dexamethasone and IT therapy was declared at 1.8 mg/m2/cycle (1.5 mg/m2/cycle after remission) in a fractionated schedule. This combination showed an response rate similar to the single agent cohorts of this trial, with liver toxicity issues at the initial higher dexamethasone dose. #NTR5736.

A miRNA signature related to stemness identifies high-risk patients in paediatric acute myeloid leukaemia.

Clinical and biological variables like genetic aberrations at diagnosis and the levels of measurable residual disease (MRD) are the most powerful biomarkers to predict the outcome of paediatric leukaemia. Recently, a model integrating the genetic abnormalities, transcriptional identity, and leukaemia stemness measured as leukaemic stem cell score (pLSC6) has been proposed to identify high-risk paediatric acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients. However, the role of epigenetics in defining prognosis still needs to be established. We evaluated the role of 89 miRNAs regulating stemness and their contribution to predicting outcomes in 110 paediatric patients with acute leukaemia. We identified a 24-miRNA signature capable of distinguishing paediatric AML patients with excellent or poor outcomes. We validated these results in an independent cohort using public repository-based data. The 24-miRNA signature was significantly associated with the leukaemic stemness scores and the underlying genetics of patients. Notably, the combination of classical prognostic factors (MRD and genetics), the pLSC6 score and the 24-miRNA signature had a higher capacity to predict the overall and event-free survival than each variable individually. Our 24-miRNA signature provides epigenetic data to integrate into genetics, MRD and stemness-related leukaemic scores to refine risk stratification in paediatric AML patients.

Results of ARI-0001 CART19 cell therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory CD19-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia with isolated extramedullary disease.

We evaluated outcomes of 18 patients with isolated extramedullary disease (iEMD) relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) treated with the CD19-directed CAR T cells ARI-0001 in two centers (adult and pediatric), including patients treated in the CART19-BE-01 trial and the consecutive compassionate use program. iEMD was detected by PET-CT in 78% (14/18), and/or by cerebrospinal fluid analysis in 28% (5/18). Patients received cyclophosphamide and fludarabine followed by 1 × 106 ARI-0001 cells/kg, initially as a single dose (first patient) and later split into three fractions (10%, 30%, and 60%). Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) occurred in 50% (9/18) of patients, with no cases of grade ≥3 CRS, and 1 case (6%) of grade 1 neurotoxicity. Tocilizumab was used in 6% of patients (1/18). Procedure-related mortality was 0% at 2 years. Objective responses were seen in 94% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 73%-99%) of patients, with complete responses (CR) seen in 78% (95% CI: 52%-94%) of them. Progression-free and overall survival were 49% (95% CI: 30%-79%) and 61% (95% CI: 40%-92%) at 2 years. In conclusion, the use of ARI-0001 cells in patients with R/R ALL and iEMD was associated with a safety and efficacy profile that is comparable with what is observed in patients with marrow involvement and in line with other CART19 products.

CART19-BE-01: A Multicenter Trial of ARI-0001 Cell Therapy in Patients with CD19+ Relapsed/Refractory Malignancies.

We evaluated the administration of ARI-0001 cells (chimeric antigen receptor T cells targeting CD19) in adult and pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory CD19+ malignancies. Patients received cyclophosphamide and fludarabine followed by ARI-0001 cells at a dose of 0.4-5 × 106 ARI-0001 cells/kg, initially as a single dose and later split into 3 fractions (10%, 30%, and 60%) with full administration depending on the absence of cytokine release syndrome (CRS). 58 patients were included, of which 47 received therapy: 38 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), 8 with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and 1 with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. In patients with ALL, grade ≥3 CRS was observed in 13.2% (26.7% before versus 4.3% after the amendment), grade ≥3 neurotoxicity was observed in 2.6%, and the procedure-related mortality was 7.9% at day +100, with no procedure-related deaths after the amendment. The measurable residual disease-negative complete response rate was 71.1% at day +100. Progression-free survival was 47% (95% IC 27%-67%) at 1 year: 51.3% before versus 39.5% after the amendment. Overall survival was 68.6% (95% IC 49.2%-88%) at 1 year. In conclusion, the administration of ARI-0001 cells provided safety and efficacy results that are comparable with other academic or commercially available products. This trial was registered as ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03144583.

Outcomes for paediatric acute leukaemia patients admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit.

Children with acute leukaemia (AL) are a high-risk population for infections and life-threatening conditions requiring paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission, presenting an increased mortality rate. A few literature exists about PICU outcomes in this kind of patients, especially with haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) background. We investigated the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of these patients as well as their outcomes. A retrospective, single-centre analytical/observational study was conducted from January 2011 to December 2018 in the PICU of a tertiary care hospital. AL patients from 28 days to 18 years old admitted to the PICU were included, excluding those with histories of HSCT or CAR T-cell therapy. We collected epidemiological and clinical characteristics, laboratory and microbiology results and outcomes. Forty-three patients with AL required urgent admission (35 lymphoblastic and 8 myeloblastic) for 63 different episodes. The main reasons were sepsis (21, 33.3%), hyperleukocytosis (12, 19%), respiratory failure (11, 17.5%) and seizures (8, 12.7%). Nineteen (30.2%) required inotropic support, and fifteen (23.8%) required mechanical ventilation. Three patients died at the hospital (3/43, 6.9%). Sixty-day mortality was 9.3%, and 1-year mortality was 13.9%. There was no differences regarding the type of AL and 60-day mortality (log-rank 2.652, p = 0.103).Conclusion: In our study, the main cause of admission for AL patients was infection, which was associated to more severity and longer hospital admission. What is Known: • Acute leukaemia is the most common childhood cancer. Admission to a paediatric intensive care unit is required in 30% of children with acute leukaemia. • Regarding the outcomes of children with acute leukaemia that require admission to the intensive care unit data are scarce. What is New: • Mortality in acute leukaemia patients admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit is lower than that of patients with a history of stem cell therapy but higher than that of patients with solid tumours. • The main reason for admission was sepsis, which is related in literature to more severity and long length of stay.

Tisagenlecleucel in Children and Young Adults with B-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

BACKGROUND: In a single-center phase 1-2a study, the anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy tisagenlecleucel produced high rates of complete remission and was associated with serious but mainly reversible toxic effects in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). METHODS: We conducted a phase 2, single-cohort, 25-center, global study of tisagenlecleucel in pediatric and young adult patients with CD19+ relapsed or refractory B-cell ALL. The primary end point was the overall remission rate (the rate of complete remission or complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery) within 3 months. RESULTS: For this planned analysis, 75 patients received an infusion of tisagenlecleucel and could be evaluated for efficacy. The overall remission rate within 3 months was 81%, with all patients who had a response to treatment found to be negative for minimal residual disease, as assessed by means of flow cytometry. The rates of event-free survival and overall survival were 73% (95% confidence interval [CI], 60 to 82) and 90% (95% CI, 81 to 95), respectively, at 6 months and 50% (95% CI, 35 to 64) and 76% (95% CI, 63 to 86) at 12 months. The median duration of remission was not reached. Persistence of tisagenlecleucel in the blood was observed for as long as 20 months. Grade 3 or 4 adverse events that were suspected to be related to tisagenlecleucel occurred in 73% of patients. The cytokine release syndrome occurred in 77% of patients, 48% of whom received tocilizumab. Neurologic events occurred in 40% of patients and were managed with supportive care, and no cerebral edema was reported. CONCLUSIONS: In this global study of CAR T-cell therapy, a single infusion of tisagenlecleucel provided durable remission with long-term persistence in pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell ALL, with transient high-grade toxic effects.

Lower incidence of clinical allergy with PEG-asparaginase upfront versus the sequential use of native E. coli asparaginase followed by PEG-ASP in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Asparaginase (ASP) is an essential component for the acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treatment, but toxicities, such as allergy, frequently limit its use. Although the potentially lower PEG-ASP formulation immunogenicity, few studies with conflicting results have compared the allergy incidence between Escherichia coli-ASP and PEG-ASP in the same protocol. We aimed at comparing the allergy incidence in children receiving native E. coli-ASP versus PEG-ASP within the same clinical protocol (Spanish Society of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology ALL-SEHOP-PETHEMA 2013). One hundred and twenty-six children (1-19 years) diagnosed with ALL from 2013 to 2020 were included. Patients in group 1 received a sequential scheme of native E. coli-ASP 10,000 IU/m2 intramuscularly (IM) followed by PEG-ASP 1000 IU/m2 IM. Patients in group 2 received PEG-ASP 1000 IU/m2 IM upfront. Clinical allergy incidence was compared between both groups. Serum ASP activity (SAA) was measured in a subgroup of patients, and silent inactivation was recorded. The cumulative incidence of clinical allergy was significantly higher in group 1 (native followed by PEG-ASP) than in group 2 (PEG-ASP upfront), 24.7% versus 4.1% (p = 0.0085). Adequate ASP activity was achieved with PEG-ASP 1000 IU/m2 dose in most patients (median SAA 412.5 and 453.0 IU/L at days 7 and 14). The incidence of silent inactivation in PEG-ASP upfront patients was very low. PEG-ASP-used upfront was associated with a lower incidence of clinical allergy than that observed in the sequential use of native E. coli-ASP followed by PEG-ASP. PEG-ASP at 1000 IU/m2 was effective in achieving enough ASP activity in most patients.

Blinatumomab and inotuzumab for B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in children: a retrospective study from the Leukemia Working Group of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology (SEHOP).

Blinatumomab and inotuzumab ozogamycin represent promising alternatives to conventional chemotherapy in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). We analysed data from 29 children with ALL treated under compassionate use with blinatumomab, inotuzumab or both. The complete remission (CR) rate in a heavily pretreated population with overt relapse was 47·6%. At earlier stages (first/second CR), both antibodies represented a useful tool to reduce minimal residual disease, and/or avoid further toxic chemotherapy until stem cell transplantation. Six patients developed grade 3 reversible non-haematological toxicity. The 12-month overall survival and event-free survival rates were 50·8 ± 26·4% and 38·9 ± 25·3% with blinatumomab, 45·8 ± 26% and 27·5 ± 25% with inotuzumab.

Patient-reported quality of life after tisagenlecleucel infusion in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: a global, single-arm, phase 2 trial.

BACKGROUND: The ELIANA trial showed that 61 (81%) of 75 paediatric and young adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia achieved overall remission after treatment with tisagenlecleucel, a chimeric antigen receptor targeted against the CD19 antigen. We aimed to evaluate patient-reported quality of life in these patients before and after tisagenlecleucel infusion. METHODS: ELIANA, a global, single-arm, open-label, phase 2 trial, was done in 25 hospitals across Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Spain, and the USA. Patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia aged at least 3 years at the time of screening and 21 years or younger at the time of initial diagnosis who were in second or greater bone marrow relapse, chemorefractory, relapsed after allogeneic stem-cell transplantation, or were otherwise ineligible for allogeneic stem-cell transplantation were enrolled. Patients received a single intravenous administration of a target dose of 0·2-5 × 106 transduced viable T cells per kg for patients weighing 50 kg or less or 0·1-2·5 × 108 transduced viable T cells for patients weighing more than 50 kg. The primary outcome, reported previously, was the proportion of patients who achieved remission. A prespecified secondary endpoint, reported here, was patient-reported quality of life measured with the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) and European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D). Patients completed the questionnaires at baseline, day 28, and months 3, 6, 9, and 12 after treatment. The data collected were summarised using descriptive statistics and post-hoc mixed models for repeated measures. Change from baseline response profiles were illustrated with cumulative distribution function plots. The proportion of patients achieving the minimal clinically important difference and normative mean value were reported. Analysis was per protocol. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02435849. FINDINGS: Between April 8, 2015, and April 25, 2017, 107 patients were screened, 92 were enrolled, and 75 received tisagenlecleucel. 58 patients aged 8-23 years were included in the analysis of quality of life. At baseline, 50 (86%) patients had completed the PedsQL questionnaire and 48 (83%) had completed the EQ-5D VAS. Improvements in patient-reported quality-of-life scores were observed for all measures at month 3 after tisagenlecleucel infusion (mean change from baseline to month 3 was 13·3 [95% CI 8·9-17·6] for the PedsQL total score and 16·8 [9·4-24·3] for the EQ-5D visual analogue scale). 30 (81%) of 37 patients achieved the minimal clinically important difference at month 3 for the PedsQL total score and 24 (67%) of 36 patients achieved this for the EQ-5D visual analogue scale. INTERPRETATION: These findings, along with the activity and safety results of ELIANA, suggest a favourable benefit-risk profile of tisagenlecleucel in the treatment of paediatric and young adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

Paediatric patients with acute leukaemia and KMT2A (MLL) rearrangement show a distinctive expression pattern of histone deacetylases.

Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) had emerged as promising drugs in leukaemia, but their toxicity due to lack of specificity limited their use. Therefore, there is a need to elucidate the role of HDACs in specific settings. The study of HDAC expression in childhood leukaemia could help to choose more specific HDACi for selected candidates in a personalized approach. We analysed HDAC1-11, SIRT1, SIRT7, MEF2C and MEF2D mRNA expression in 211 paediatric patients diagnosed with acute leukaemia. There was a global overexpression of HDACs, while specific HDACs correlated with clinical and biological features, and some even predicted outcome. Thus, some HDAC and MEF2C profiles probably reflected the lineage and the maturation of the blasts and some profiles identified specific oncogenic pathways active in the leukaemic cells. Specifically, we identified a distinctive signature for patients with KMT2A (MLL) rearrangement, with high HDAC9 and MEF2D expression, regardless of age, KMT2A partner and lineage. Moreover, we observed an adverse prognostic value of HDAC9 overexpression, regardless of KMT2A rearrangement. Our results provide useful knowledge on the complex picture of HDAC expression in childhood leukaemia and support the directed use of specific HDACi to selected paediatric patients with acute leukaemia.

Influence of new antiretrovirals on hematological toxicity in HIV-exposed uninfected infants.

UNLABELLED: Maternal combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) successfully prevents HIV mother-to-child transmission but also causes hematological toxicity in the HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infant. We performed a single-center prospective observational study. Hematological toxicity during the first year of life (at 3 and 6 weeks, and 3, 6, and 12 months) was compared between HEU infants born in two different time periods: P1 (2000-2001) and P2 (2007-2013). Mother-infant pairs in P1 (n = 55) and P2 (n = 48) mainly differed in maternal ethnic origin, HIV route of transmission, and cART regimens. Anemia and neutropenia were both less common in P2 than P1, albeit not significantly. Earlier normalization of red blood cell mean corpuscular volume levels in P2 infants suggests that current cART maternal regimens and shorter neonatal prophylaxis are less toxic. Leukocyte, lymphocyte, and platelet counts remained within normal values during follow-up, without differences between groups. CONCLUSION: New cART regimens have had very little impact on the hematological toxicity in HEU infants. WHAT IS KNOWN: • Antiretroviral drugs during pregnancy and the neonatal period very effectively prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV infection. • Hematological toxicity has been widely reported among HIV-exposed uninfected children. What is New: • In HIV-exposed uninfected children, hematological toxicity is still mainly caused by exposure to zidovudine. • New antiretroviral drugs have very little impact on hematological toxicity among HIV-exposed uninfected children.

Genetic basis of congenital erythrocytosis: mutation update and online databases.

Congenital erythrocytosis (CE), or congenital polycythemia, represents a rare and heterogeneous clinical entity. It is caused by deregulated red blood cell production where erythrocyte overproduction results in elevated hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. Primary congenital familial erythrocytosis is associated with low erythropoietin (Epo) levels and results from mutations in the Epo receptor gene (EPOR). Secondary CE arises from conditions causing tissue hypoxia and results in increased Epo production. These include hemoglobin variants with increased affinity for oxygen (HBB, HBA mutations), decreased production of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate due to BPGM mutations, or mutations in the genes involved in the hypoxia sensing pathway (VHL, EPAS1, and EGLN1). Depending on the affected gene, CE can be inherited either in an autosomal dominant or recessive mode, with sporadic cases arising de novo. Despite recent important discoveries in the molecular pathogenesis of CE, the molecular causes remain to be identified in about 70% of the patients. With the objective of collecting all the published and unpublished cases of CE the COST action MPN&MPNr-Euronet developed a comprehensive Internet-based database focusing on the registration of clinical history, hematological, biochemical, and molecular data (http://www.erythrocytosis.org/). In addition, unreported mutations are also curated in the corresponding Leiden Open Variation Database.

Thrombin Generation Profile Using ST-Genesia after PEG-asparaginase in Pediatric Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) etiology in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is multifactorial. The use of global assays of hemostasis as a thrombin generation test (TGT) is useful to individualize VTE risk in adult patients. This prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of an automated TGT to evaluate VTE risk during ALL treatment in children. METHODS: TGT (automated analyzer ST Genesia; ThromboScreen) and pro- and anticoagulant plasma proteins were analyzed during ALL treatment in pediatric patients following LAL-SEHOP-PETHEMA-2013 guidelines. Results were compared with a series of pediatric normal controls and evaluated according to pegylated asparaginase PEG-ASP administration and to VTE risk factors. RESULTS: The study included 67 patients: males n = 35, B-ALL (n = 60). None had a VTE during the evaluated period. Compared to healthy controls, the normalized endogenous thrombin potential (N-ETP) ratio in patients was higher and ETP inhibition (ETP-inh) was lower, especially after PEG-ASP administration. Plasmatic protein C and protein S levels decreased after PEG-ASP administration, but antithrombin mean level did not. A bivariant analysis showed that ETP-inh was lower in patients >10 years old (p = 0.05) and in those with non-O blood type (p = 0.005). A linear mixed model also showed a higher TGT prothrombotic profile in patients with inherited thrombophilia. CONCLUSION: TGT could be a biomarker of a high VTE risk in ALL pediatric patients. Non-O blood group and inherited thrombophilia were associated with a significantly higher thrombotic profile, and an increased profile was also observed after administration of PEG-ASP.
