BACKGROUND AIMS: Cytopenias after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) are a common complication, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms of which remain incompletely understood. Multipotent mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (MSC) therapy has been successfully employed in the treatment of immune-related disorders and can aid in the restoration of the hematopoietic niche. METHODS: A phase II clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of administering four sequential doses of ex-vivo expanded bone marrow MSCs from a third-party donor to patients with persistent severe cytopenias after allo-SCT was performed. RESULTS: The overall response rate on day 90 was 75% among the 27 evaluable patients (comprising 12 complete responses, 8 partial responses, and 7 with no response). The median time to respond was 14.5 days. Responses were observed across different profiles, including single or multiple affected lineages, primary or secondary timing, and potential immune-mediated or post-infectious pathophysiology versus idiopathic origin. With a median follow-up for surviving patients of 85 months after MSC infusion, 53% of patients are alive. Notably, no adverse events related to MSC therapy were reported. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, the sequential infusion of third-party MSCs emerges as a viable and safe therapeutic option, exhibiting potential benefits for patients experiencing cytopenias following allo-SCT.

ABSTRACT: The efficacies of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-Ts) and bispecific monoclonal antibodies (BiAbs) for triple-class refractory (TCR) myeloma have not previously been compared, and clinical data on how to rescue patients after relapse from these immunotherapies are limited. A retrospective study of 73 TCR patients included in trials was conducted: 36 received CAR-Ts and 37 received BiAbs. CAR-Ts produced a higher overall response rate (ORR) than BiAbs (97.1% vs 56.8%, P = .002). After a median of follow-up of 18.7 months, no significant difference in progression-free survival (PFS) was observed between the CAR-T and BiAbs groups (16.6 vs 10.8 months; P = .090), whereas overall survival (OS) was significantly longer in the CAR-T than in the BiAbs group (49.2 vs 22.6 months; P = .021). BiAbs after CAR-Ts yielded a higher ORR and longer PFS2 than did nonredirecting T-cell therapies after CAR-Ts (ORR: 87.5% vs 50.0%; PFS2: 22.9 vs 12.4 months). By contrast, BiAbs after BiAbs resulted in an ORR of 33% and PFS2 of 8.4 months, which was similar to that produced by the nonredirecting T-cell therapies (ORR: 28.6%; PFS2: 8.1 months). Although this is a pooled analysis of different trials with different products and the patient profile is different for CAR-Ts and BiAbs, both were effective therapies for TCR myeloma. However, in our experience, although the PFS was similar with the 2 approaches, CAR-T therapy resulted in better OS, mainly because of the efficacy of BiAbs as rescue therapy. Our results highlight the importance of treatment sequence in real-word experience.

Curative potential of allogeneic transplantation (AlloSCT) in high-risk non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) could be enhanced by the integration of Ofatumumab (OFA), a 2nd generation anti-CD20 moAb, due to an antitumor effect and a role over graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In this phase II trial (NCT01613300), we investigated safety and effectiveness of OFA-based reduced intensity conditioning (RIC). High-risk B-cell NHL patients with chemorrefractory disease or post-autologous SCT relapse were eligible. OFA was added to a standard RIC regimen. Primary endpoint was grade 3-4 aGVHD rate, while secondary endpoints included CR and survival rates. Thirty-three patients were included (median age 51; diffuse large B-cell:68%, HLA-identical donor: 74%). No grade >2 OFA toxicity was observed. Acute GVHD affected 77% of patients (16% grade 3-4). Remarkably, GVHD achieved CR in 75% of patients after first-line treatment. Chronic GVHD, primarily mild or moderate, occurred in 54% of patients. NHL CR rate at day +100 was 81%. Relapses occurred in 7 patients after a median of 3 months. Causes of death were lymphoma progression (5), infections (10), and GVHD (2). At 24 months, progression-free and overall survival rates were 50.1 and 51.6% respectively. OFA-RIC regimen is safe and effective, though acute GVHD remains a significant complication. However, data suggest that OFA could mitigate its severity.
