RÉSUMÉ
T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is difficult to treat when it relapses after therapy or is chemoresistant; the prognosis of patients with relapsed or refractory T-ALL is generally poor. We report a case series of 17 such patients who received autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells expressing an anti-CD7 CAR and an anti-CD7 protein expression blocker (PEBL), which prevented CAR T cell fratricide. Despite high leukemic burden and low CAR T cell dosing, 16 of the 17 patients attained minimal residual disease-negative complete remission within 1 month. The remaining patient had CD7- T-ALL cells before infusion, which persisted after infusion. Toxicities were mild: cytokine release syndrome grade 1 in ten patients and grade 2 in three patients; immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome grade 1 in two patients. Eleven patients remained relapse-free (median follow-up, 15 months), including all nine patients who received an allotransplant. The first patient is in remission 55 months after infusion without further chemotherapy or transplantation; circulating CAR T cells were detectable for 2 years. T cells regenerating after lymphodepletion lacked CD7 expression, were polyclonal and responded to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination; CD7+ immune cells reemerged concomitantly with CAR T cell disappearance. In conclusion, autologous anti-CD7 PEBL-CAR T cells have powerful antileukemic activity and are potentially an effective option for the treatment of T-ALL.

Bullous pemphigoid (BP), although a rare disease, is the most frequent subepidermal autoimmune disorder. Treatment with gliptins, used for type 2 diabetes, was reported as associated with BP onset. To identify HLA alleles that may reflect a higher susceptibility to BP in the Italian population, we analysed 30 patients affected by idiopathic bullous pemphigoid (IBP) and 86 gliptin-associated BP (GABP) patients. A significant association between HLA-DQB1*03:01 allele and IBP and GABP patients was found. Of note, both IBP and GABP were significantly associated with one of the following haplotypes: DRB1*11:01, DRB3*02:02, DQA1*05:05, DQB1*03:01 or DRB1*11:04, DRB3*02:02, DQA1*05:05 and DQB1*03:01. These data identify, for the first time, potential markers of susceptibility to BP in the Italian population, especially when associated with gliptin intake.

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer, with long-term overall survival rates of ~85%. However, B-ALL harboring rearrangements of the MLL gene (also known as KMT2A), referred to as MLLr B-ALL, is common in infants and is associated with poor 5-year survival (<30%), frequent relapses, and refractoriness to glucocorticoids (GCs). GCs are an essential part of the treatment backbone for B-ALL and GC resistance is a major clinical predictor of poor outcome. Elucidating the mechanisms of GC resistance in MLLr B-ALL is, therefore, critical to guide therapeutic strategies that deepen the response after induction therapy. Neuron-glial antigen-2 (NG2) expression is a hallmark of MLLr B-ALL and is minimally expressed in healthy hematopoietic cells. We recently reported that NG2 expression is associated with poor prognosis and that anti-NG2 immunotherapy strongly reduces/delays relapse in MLLr B-ALL xenograft models. Despite its contribution to MLLr B-ALL pathogenesis and its diagnostic utility, the role of NG2 in MLLr-mediated leukemogenesis/chemoresistance remains elusive. Here we show that NG2 is an epigenetically regulated direct target gene of the leukemic MLL-AF4 fusion protein. NG2 negatively regulates the expression of the GC receptor NR3C1 and confers GC resistance to MLLr B-ALL cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, NG2 interacts with FLT3 to render ligand-independent activation of FLT3 signaling (a hallmark of MLLr B-ALL) and downregulation of NR3C1 via AP-1-mediated trans-repression. Collectively, our study elucidates the role of NG2 in GC resistance in MLLr B-ALL through FLT3/AP-1-mediated downregulation of NR3C1, providing novel therapeutic avenues for MLLr B-ALL.
RÉSUMÉ
Patients with relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoblastic lymphoma (LL) have poor outcomes compared with newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve patients. The phase 2, open-label DELPHINUS study evaluated daratumumab (16 mg/kg intravenously) plus backbone chemotherapy in children with relapsed/refractory B-cell ALL (n=7) after ≥2 relapses and children and young adults with T-cell ALL (children, n=24; young adults, n=5) or LL (n=10) after first relapse. The primary endpoint was complete response (CR) in the B-cell ALL (end of Cycle 2) and T-cell ALL (end of Cycle 1) cohorts, after which patients could proceed off study to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Seven patients with advanced B-cell ALL received daratumumab with no CRs achieved; this cohort was closed due to futility. For the childhood T-cell ALL, young adult T-cell ALL, and T-cell LL cohorts, the CR (end of Cycle 1) rates were 41.7%, 60.0%, and 30.0%, respectively; overall response rates (any time point) were 83.3% (CR+CR with incomplete count recovery [CRi]), 80.0% (CR+CRi), and 50.0% (CR+partial response); minimal residual disease-negativity (<0.01%) rates were 45.8%, 20.0%, and 50.0%; observed 24-month event-free survival rates were 36.1%, 20.0%, and 20.0%; observed 24-month overall survival rates were 41.3%, 25.0%, and 20.0%; and allogeneic HSCT rates were 75.0%, 60.0%, and 30.0%. No new safety concerns with daratumumab were observed. In conclusion, daratumumab was safely combined with backbone chemotherapy in children and young adults with T-cell ALL/LL and contributed to successful bridging to HSCT. This trial was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT03384654.

Radiotherapy (RT) plays a critical role in the management of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), the prevalent soft tissue sarcoma in childhood. The high risk PAX3-FOXO1 fusion-positive subtype (FP-RMS) is often resistant to RT. We have recently demonstrated that inhibition of class-I histone deacetylases (HDACs) radiosensitizes FP-RMS both in vitro and in vivo. However, HDAC inhibitors exhibited limited success on solid tumors in human clinical trials, at least in part due to the presence of off-target effects. Hence, identifying specific HDAC isoforms that can be targeted to radiosensitize FP-RMS is imperative. We, here, found that only HDAC3 silencing, among all class-I HDACs screened by siRNA, radiosensitizes FP-RMS cells by inhibiting colony formation. Thus, we dissected the effects of HDAC3 depletion using CRISPR/Cas9-dependent HDAC3 knock-out (KO) in FP-RMS cells, which resulted in Endoplasmatic Reticulum Stress activation, ERK inactivation, PARP1- and caspase-dependent apoptosis and reduced stemness when combined with irradiation compared to single treatments. HDAC3 loss-of-function increased DNA damage in irradiated cells augmenting H2AX phosphorylation and DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and counteracting irradiation-dependent activation of ATM and DNA-Pkcs as well as Rad51 protein induction. Moreover, HDAC3 depletion hampers FP-RMS tumor growth in vivo and maximally inhibits the growth of irradiated tumors compared to single approaches. We, then, developed a new HDAC3 inhibitor, MC4448, which showed specific cell anti-tumor effects and mirrors the radiosensitizing effects of HDAC3 depletion in vitro synergizing with ERKs inhibition. Overall, our findings dissect the pro-survival role of HDAC3 in FP-RMS and suggest HDAC3 genetic or pharmacologic inhibition as a new promising strategy to overcome radioresistance in this tumor.
RÉSUMÉ
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are highly effective at targeting and eliminating cells of the B cell lineage. CAR T cell therapy has become a standard-of-care treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory B cell malignancies. In addition, the administration of genetically modified T cells with the capacity to deplete B cells and/or plasma cells has tremendous therapeutic potential in autoimmune diseases. In the past few years, CD19-based and B cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-based CAR T cell therapies have been applied to various B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, systemic sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, myasthenia gravis and multiple sclerosis. The scientific rationale behind this approach is that deep depletion of B cells, including autoreactive B cell clones, could restore normal immune function, referred to as an immune reset. In this Review, we discuss important aspects of CAR T cell therapy in autoimmune disease, including considerations relating to patient selection, safety, efficacy and medical management. These considerations are based on the early experiences of CAR T cell therapy in autoimmune diseases, and as the field of CAR T cell therapy in autoimmune diseases continues to rapidly evolve, these issues will remain subject to ongoing refinement and adaptation.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only established curative option for Fanconi anemia (FA) associated bone marrow failure (BMF)/aplastic anemia (AA) and hematological malignancy. We performed a retrospective multicenter study on 813 FA children undergoing first HSCT between 2010 and 2018. Median duration of follow-up was 3.7 years (interquartile range, 3.4-4.0). Median age at transplant was 8.8 years (6.5-18.1). Overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS) and GvHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) at 5 years were 83% (80-86%), 78% (75-81%) and 70% (67-74%) respectively. OS was comparable between matched family donor (MFD, n=441, 88%) and matched unrelated donor (MUD, n=162, 86%) and was superior to that of mismatched family or unrelated donor (MMFD/MMUD, n=144, 72%) and haploidentical donor (HID) (n=66, 70%, p<0.001). In multivariable analysis, a transplant indication of acute myeloid leukaemia/myelodysplastic syndrome compared to AA/BMF, use of MMFD/MMUD and HID compared to MFD, Fludarabine-Cyclophosphamide (FluCy) + other conditioning compared to FluCy independently predicted inferior OS, while alemtuzumab compared to ATG was associated with better OS. Age ï³ 10 years was associated with worse EFS and GRFS. Cumulative incidences (CIN) of primary and secondary graft failure were 2% (1-3%) and 3% (2-4%) respectively. CIN of grade II-IV acute GvHD, grade III-IV acute GvHD and chronic GvHD were 23% (20-26%), 12% (10-15%) and 8% (6-10%) respectively. The 5-year CIN of secondary malignancy was 2% (1-3%). These data suggest that HSCT should be offered to Fanconi Anemia patients with AA/BMF at a younger age in the presence of a well-matched donor.
RÉSUMÉ
BACKGROUND: Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a debilitating, and sometimes life threatening, complication of allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). We aimed to investigate the activity, pharmacokinetics, and safety of ruxolitinib added to corticosteroids in paediatric patients (ie, <18 years) with moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD. METHODS: In this single-arm, phase 2 study, patients were recruited at 21 hospitals or clinics across 14 countries in Asia, Europe, and Canada. Eligible patients were aged 28 days to younger than 18 years, had undergone allogenic HSCT, and had been diagnosed with treatment-naive or corticosteroid-refractory moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD, per 2014 National Institutes of Health consensus criteria. Patients received oral ruxolitinib dosing on the basis of their age at the start of treatment: those aged 12 years to younger than 18 years received 10 mg twice daily (age ≥12 to <18 years group), those aged 6 years to younger than 12 years (age ≥6 to <12 years group) received 5 mg twice daily, and those aged 2 years to younger than 6 years received 4 mg/m2 twice daily (age ≥2 to <6 years group). Treatment was to be administered in 28-day cycles for approximately 36 months, alongside supportive treatment per institutional guidelines. The primary activity endpoint was overall response rate at cycle 7 day 1. Activity and safety analyses are reported in the full analysis set, which included all patients who received at least one dose of ruxolitinib. Here we report the prespecified interim analysis, scheduled to occur after all patients had completed 1 year of treatment or discontinued treatment, and the results for the primary endpoint evaluation reported here is to be considered final. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03774082, enrolment is complete, and the study is ongoing. FINDINGS: Between May 20, 2020, and Sept 17, 2021, 48 patients were screened, of whom 45 were enrolled and received at least one dose of study drug (median age was 11·0 years [IQR 7·2-14·3], 16 [36%] were female, 29 [64%] were male, 21 [47%] were White, one [2%] was Black or African American, 23 [51%] were Asian, 17 [38%] were treatment-naive, 28 [62%] were corticosteroid-refractory). As of data cutoff (Oct 19, 2022), after a median ruxolitinib exposure of 55·1 weeks (IQR 13·1-75·3), the overall response rate at cycle 7 day 1 was 40·0% (18 of 45; 90% CI 27·7-53·3), with responses seen in seven (41%) of 17 treatment-naive patients and 11 (39%) of 28 corticosteroid-refractory patients. The most common treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or worse were neutropenia (eight [18%] of 45) and thrombocytopenia (six [13%]). Seven (16%) patients had grade 3 or worse serious treatment-related adverse events; the most common was hyponatraemia (two [4%] of 45). Three (7%) patients died while on-treatment (within 30 days of treatment discontinuation), one due to Aspergillus infection, one due to septic shock, and one due to acute respiratory distress syndrome; none were considered to be related to study drug. INTERPRETATION: Pending final analysis, this study suggests that ruxolitinib is active and well tolerated in both treatment-naive and corticosteroid-refractory patients aged 2 years to younger than 18 years with chronic GVHD, thereby supporting its use in this patient population. The safety profile of ruxolitinib in this patient population is consistent with that of adults. Final analysis of this study will provide further information on the long-term benefits of ruxolitinib in children with chronic GVHD. FUNDING: Novartis.

In REACH4 (NCT03491215), a phase 1/2, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study, the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, and safety of ruxolitinib were evaluated in treatment-naïve and steroid-refractory pediatric patients with grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD; n=45). Ruxolitinib dosing was based on age and targeted the exposure in adults receiving 10 mg twice daily; group 1 (≥12 to <18 years) received 10 mg twice daily and preliminary starting doses for groups 2 (≥6 to <12 years) and 3 (≥2 to <6 years) were 5 mg twice daily and 4 mg/m2 twice daily, respectively. Phase 1 primary objective was to assess ruxolitinib PK parameters and define an age-appropriate recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for patients <12 years of age. Phase 2 primary objective was to measure the activity of ruxolitinib as assessed by overall response rate (ORR) at day 28; the key secondary objective was to assess the durable ORR at day 56. Ruxolitinib exposure was comparable across age groups; starting doses were confirmed as the RP2D. The median duration of ruxolitinib exposure was 3.8 months (range 0.3-11.2). ORR in all patients was 84.4% (90% confidence interval [CI], 72.8-92.5) at day 28, with a durable ORR at day 56 of 66.7% (90% CI, 53.4-78.2); high response rates were observed across age groups and in both treatment-naïve and steroid-refractory subgroups. Adverse events were consistent with those expected in ruxolitinib-treated patients with aGvHD (anemia, decreased neutrophil and leukocyte count). In pediatric patients with aGvHD, ruxolitinib showed clinically meaningful efficacy with no new safety signals.
RÉSUMÉ
BACKGROUND: Enhancer reprogramming plays a significant role in the heterogeneity of cancer. However, we have limited knowledge about the impact of chromatin remodeling in B-Cell Precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (BCP-ALL) patients, and how it affects tumorigenesis and drug response. Our research focuses on investigating the role of enhancers in sustaining oncogenic transformation in children with BCP-ALL. METHODS: We used ATAC-seq to study the accessibility of chromatin in pediatric BCP-ALL at three different stages-onset, remission, and relapse. Using a combination of computational and experimental methods, we were able to analyze the accessibility landscape and focus on the most significant cis-regulatory sites. These sites were then functionally validated through the use of Promoter capture Hi-C in a primary cell line model called LAL-B, followed by RNA-seq and genomic deletion of target sites using CRISPR-Cas9 editing. RESULTS: We found that enhancer activity changes during cancer progression and is mediated by the production of enhancer RNAs (eRNAs). CRISPR-Cas9-mediated validation of previously unknown eRNA productive enhancers demonstrated their capability to control the oncogenic activities of the MYB and DCTD genes. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings directly support the notion that productive enhancer engagement is a crucial determinant of the BCP-ALL and highlight the potential of enhancers as therapeutic targets in pediatric BCP-ALL.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to report the safety and efficacy of CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells in a child with refractory juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). METHODS: We describe a 12-year-old White boy with severe, chronically active JDM refractory to multiple immunosuppressive treatment lines, including B cell depletion with rituximab. The patient received a single infusion of fresh, autologous, second-generation anti-CD19 CAR T cell product (lentiviral vector) manufactured on the Prodigy device (1 × 106 CAR T cells/kg), after lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide (1,000 mg/m2 over two days) and fludarabine (90 mg/m2 over three days). Immunosuppressive and glucocorticoid treatment were withdrawn before leukapheresis and CAR T cell infusion. RESULTS: Before anti-CD19 CAR T cell therapy, the patient had persistent severe skin and muscular disease activity. CAR T cells expanded significantly (peak at day 7, 32.69 cells/µL). Complete B cell depletion was documented on day 5 in the blood and at week 2 in the bone marrow. The patient presented with fever as part of mild cytokine release syndrome (grade 1), transient anemia (grade 2), and neutropenia (grade 4). Neither infection nor neurotoxicity were observed. Laboratory tests, magnetic resonance imaging, Physician Global Assessment of disease activity, Childhood Myositis Assessment Scale, and Cutaneous Assessment Tool for myositis were performed at baseline and follow-up to assess treatment response, showing remarkable progressive improvement that persists over time, even after B cell recovery. CONCLUSION: This patient with JDM with severe chronic disease, refractory to multiple treatments, achieved sustained B cell depletion and ongoing immunosuppressive drug-free clinical and radiologic improvement eight months after a single infusion of anti-CD19 CAR T cells.
RÉSUMÉ
Over the past decade, chimeric antigen receptor T cells have emerged as a breakthrough cancer therapy in selected hematologic malignancies. Translating the success of this therapy to solid tumors is challenging. In this issue, we discuss strategies potentially useful to increase the chimeric antigen receptor T-cell efficacy in this clinical indication. See related article by Fischer-Riepe et al., p. 3564.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia expressing the gamma delta T cell receptor (yo T-ALL) is a poorly understood disease. We studied 200 children with yo T-ALL from 13 clinical study groups to understand the clinical and genetic features of this disease. We found age and genetic drivers were significantly associated with outcome. yo T-ALL diagnosed in children under three years of age was extremely high-risk and enriched for genetic alterations that result in both LMO2 activation and STAG2 inactivation. Mechanistically, using patient samples and isogenic cell lines, we show that inactivation of STAG2 profoundly perturbs chromatin organization by altering enhancer-promoter looping, resulting in deregulation of gene expression associated with T-cell differentiation. High throughput drug screening identified a vulnerability in DNA repair pathways arising from STAG2 inactivation, which can be targeted by Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition. These data provide a diagnostic framework for classification and risk stratification of pediatric yo T-ALL.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Inotuzumab ozogamicin is an antibody-drug conjugate approved for treating relapsed/refractory B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) in adults. Pediatric pharmacokinetic data of inotuzumab ozogamicin are lacking. This study is the first to examine the population pharmacokinetics of inotuzumab ozogamicin in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory BCP-ALL. METHODS: From 531 adult patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, 234 adult patients with BCP-ALL, and 53 pediatric patients with BCP-ALL, 8924 inotuzumab ozogamicin serum concentrations were analyzed using non-linear mixed-effects modeling. A published adult inotuzumab ozogamicin population-pharmacokinetic model, a two-compartment model with linear and time-dependent clearance, was adapted to describe the pediatric data. RESULTS: Modifications in this analysis, compared to the published adult model, included: (i) re-estimating pharmacokinetic parameters and covariate effects; (ii) modifying covariate representation; and (iii) introducing relevant pediatric covariate effects (age on the decay coefficient of time-dependent clearance and ALL effect (disease type and/or different bioanalytical analysis methods) on initial values of time-dependent clearance). For patients with relapsed/refractory BCP-ALL, increasing age was associated with a decreasing decay coefficient of time-dependent clearance, reflecting that the target-mediated drug clearance declines more rapidly in children. In pediatric BCP-ALL, the median [interquartile range] cumulative area under the concentration-time curve was significantly higher among responders (n = 42) versus non-responders (n = 10) at the end of the first cycle (26.1 [18.9-35.0] vs 10.1 [9.19-16.1], × 103 ng*h/mL, p < 0.001). From simulations performed at the recommended pediatric phase II dose, inotuzumab ozogamicin exposure reached a similar level as observed in responding pediatric trial participants. CONCLUSIONS: The pharmacokinetic profile of inotuzumab ozogamicin in pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory BCP-ALL was well described in this study. No dose adjustment is required clinically for pediatric patients with BCP-ALL based on the simulated inotuzumab ozogamicin exposure at the recommended pediatric phase II dose, promising efficacy and acceptable tolerability.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has emerged as a breakthrough cancer therapy over the past decade. Remarkable outcomes in B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders and multiple myeloma have been reported in both pivotal trials and real-word studies. Traditionally, the use of a patient's own (autologous) T cells to manufacture CAR products has been the standard practice. Nevertheless, this approach has some drawbacks, including manufacturing delays, dependence on the functional fitness of the patient's T cells, which can be compromised by both the disease and prior therapies, and contamination of the product with blasts. A promising alternative is offered by the development of allogeneic CAR-cell products. This approach has the potential to yield more efficient drug products and enables the use of effector cells with negligible alloreactive potential and a significant CAR-independent antitumor activity through their innate receptors (i.e., natural killer cells, γδ T cells and cytokine induced killer cells). In addition, recent advances in genome editing tools offer the potential to overcome the primary challenges associated with allogeneic CAR T-cell products, namely graft-versus-host disease and host allo-rejection, generating universal, off-the-shelf products. In this review, we summarize the current pre-clinical and clinical approaches based on allogeneic CAR T cells, as well as on alternative effector cells, which represent exciting opportunities for multivalent approaches and optimized antitumor activity.
