RESUMO
PURPOSE: Bosutinib is approved for adults with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML): 400 mg once daily in newly diagnosed (ND); 500 mg once daily in resistant/intolerant (R/I) patients. Bosutinib has a different tolerability profile than other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and potentially less impact on growth (preclinical data). The primary objective of this first-in-child trial was to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) for pediatric R/I and ND patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In the phase I part of this international, open-label trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04258943), children age 1-18 years with R/I (per European LeukemiaNet 2013) Ph+ CML were enrolled using a 6 + 4 design, testing 300, 350, and 400 mg/m2 once daily with food. The RP2D was the dose resulting in 0/6 or 1/10 dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the first cycle and achieving adult target AUC levels for the respective indication. As ND participants were only enrolled in phase II, the ND RP2D was selected based on data from R/I patients. RESULTS: Thirty patients were enrolled; 27 were evaluable for DLT: six at 300 mg/m2, 11 at 350 mg/m2 (one DLT), and 10 at 400 mg/m2 (one DLT). The mean AUCs at 300 mg/m2, 350 mg/m2, and 400 mg/m2 were 2.20 µg h/mL, 2.52 µg h/mL, and 2.66 µg h/mL, respectively. The most common adverse event was diarrhea (93%; ≥grade 3: 11%). Seven patients stopped because of intolerance and eight because of insufficient response. Complete cytogenetic and major molecular response to bosutinib appeared comparable with other published phase I/II trials with second-generation TKIs in children. CONCLUSION: Bosutinib was safe and effective. The pediatric RP2D was 400 mg/m2 once daily (max 600 mg/d) with food in R/I patients and 300 mg/m2 once daily (max 500 mg/d) with food in ND patients, which achieved targeted exposures as per adult experience.

INTRODUCTION: Although primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is rare in childhood, it is the most frequent cause of thrombocytopenia. There have been attempts to establish risk factors to predict the progression of the disease in order to optimise its management, which has changed in recent years due to, among other reasons, specialised care. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective, observational and analytical study was conducted on patients diagnosed with ITP over a 3-year period in a Paediatric Haematology specialist clinic. RESULTS: From the epidemiological, clinical and analytical point of view, the characteristics of this group are similar to others. Most of the patients (23/31, 74.2%) had ITP for less than 12 months, with there being no serious complications related to the disease or the treatment received. It was established that risk factors were related to being slowly evolving (lower event-free survival (EFS)) with no statistical significance, female gender, age over 10 years, leukopenia absence of initial severe thrombocytopenia, and non-specialised care. The absence of a history of infection was significantly related to a lower EFS. CONCLUSIONS: The epidemiological and analytical risk factors for a slowly evolving ITP are the same that described in the literature. Patients treated before the beginning of specialised care also had a lower EFS. These data seem to support the current recommendation that rare diseases should be managed in specialised units.

The Catalonian Newborn Screening Program (CNSP) began in 1969, in Barcelona. It was promoted by Dr. Juan Sabater Tobella and supported by Barcelona Provincial Council and Juan March Foundation. That is how the Institute of Clinical Biochemistry was born, whose aims were diagnosis, research and teaching, along with the spirit of contributing to the prevention of mental retardation. The CNSP began with the detection of phenylketonuria (PKU), and, in 1982, the Program was expanded with the inclusion of congenital hypothyroidism detection. Towards 1990, the Program covered almost 100% of all newborns (NB) in Catalonia. In 1999, the CNSP was expanded with the incorporation of cystic fibrosis. It took fourteen years, until 2013, to make the largest expansion so far, with the incorporation of 19 metabolic diseases to the screening panel. The detection of sickle cell disease began in 2015 and in 2017 the detection of severe combined immunodeficiency was included. Currently, the CNSP includes 24 diseases in its main panel. Since 1969, 2,787,807 NBs have been screened, of whom 1,724 have been diagnosed with any of these diseases, and 252 of other disorders by differential diagnosis with those included in the main panel. The global prevalence is 1: 1,617 NBs affected by any of the diseases included in the CNSP and 1: 1,140 NBs if incidental findings diagnosed through the CNSP are included.
El Programa de Cribado Neonatal de Cataluña (PCNC) se inició en el año 1969, en Barcelona, impulsado por el Dr. Juan Sabater Tobella y apoyado por la Diputación de Barcelona y la Fundación Juan March. Así nació el Instituto de Bioquímica Clínica para acometer funciones asistenciales, de investigación y docencia, con el espíritu de contribuir a la prevención del retraso mental. El PCNC se inició con la detección de la fenilcetonuria (PKU) y en el año 1982 se amplió con la detección del hipotiroidismo congénito. Hacia el año 1990 la cobertura territorial llegó casi al 100% de todos los recién nacidos en Cataluña. En 1999 se amplió el PCNC con la incorporación de la fibrosis quística y tras catorce años, en 2013, se realizó la ampliación más numerosa hasta ahora, con la incorporación de la detección de 19 enfermedades metabólicas hereditarias. En el año 2015 comenzó la detección de la enfermedad de células falciformes y en el 2017 la detección de la inmunodeficiencia combinada grave. Actualmente, el PCNC incluye la detección de 24 enfermedades. Desde su inicio en el año 1969, se han cribado 2.787.807 recién nacidos, de los cuales 1.724 han sido diagnosticados de alguna de las 24 enfermedades que componen nuestro panel principal y 252 por diagnóstico diferencial de las primeras. En total la prevalencia global es de 1:1.617 RN afectos de alguna de las enfermedades incluidas en el PCNC y de 1:1.140 RN si se incluyen los hallazgos incidentales encontrados.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency with an incidence of 1/200,000-250,000 live births. CGD affects mainly male patients, most of the mutations being X-linked, and autosomal recessive forms occur more frequently in communities with greater numbers of consanguineous marriages. CGD is characterized by sensitivity to recurrent and severe bacterial and fungal infections, with formation of granulomas due to the inability of phagocytes to generate reactive oxygen compounds, necessary for the intracellular death of phagocytic microorganisms. We report three cases of CGD in which Serratia marcescens was isolated, and after detailed anamnesis and performance of neutrophil function tests, a molecular diagnosis of the disease was reached. CGD can be manifested in a wide variety of ways, so that high suspicion and a meticulous anamnesis are essential to reach a diagnosis.
La enfermedad granulomatosa crónica es una inmunodeficiencia primaria, con una incidencia de 1/200 000-250 000 recién nacidos vivos. Afecta, principalmente, a varones; la mayoría de las mutaciones son ligadas al cromosoma X y las formas autosómicas recesivas ocurren, con más frecuencia, en comunidades con mayor número de matrimonios consanguíneos. Se caracteriza por sensibilidad a infecciones recurrentes y graves, bacterianas y fúngicas, con formación de granulomas, debido a la incapacidad de los fagocitos para generar compuestos reactivos de oxígeno, necesarios para la muerte intracelular de microorganismos fagocitados. Se presentan tres casos de enfermedad granulomatosa crónica en los que se aisló Serratia marcescens y, tras una anamnesis minuciosa y obtener resultados de pruebas de funcionalidad de neutrófilos, se llegó a un diagnóstico molecular de la enfermedad. La enfermedad granulomatosa crónica puede manifestarse de formas muy variadas, por lo que el alto índice de sospecha y una buena anamnesis son fundamentales para alcanzar un diagnóstico.

Anemia is very common in infants. Although its causes are usually not severe and treatable, proper etiologic diagnosis should be established. When anemia is non-regenerative, it can be caused by aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, bone marrow infiltration or hematopoietic factors deficiencies. Another possible cause is Pearson's syndrome, a rare mitochondrial disease that causes non-regenerative anemia associated with other cytopenias, pancreatic insufficiency, lactic acidosis and great variability in clinical presentation conditioned by heteroplasmy. It is characteristic to find in bone marrow studies variable vacuolization in erythroblastic progenitors and ring sideroblasts. The diagnosis is established by genetic study of mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid performed by Southern blot analysis (complete mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid amplification by polymerase chain reaction -long), obtaining 70-80% deletion of 4977 bp (NMD 8343-13459). There is no curative therapy and support treatment is the only available nowadays. Death is frequent in early years of life.
La anemia es frecuente en lactantes, y, aunque su causa, habitualmente, es banal, debe establecerse un diagnóstico etiológico adecuado. Cuando la anemia es arregenerativa, puede deberse a aplasia medular, síndrome mielodisplásico, infiltración medular o déficits de factores hematopoyéticos. Otra posible causa es el síndrome de Pearson, una rara enfermedad mitocondrial que se presenta con anemia asociada a otras citopenias, insuficiencia pancreática, acidosis láctica y gran variabilidad en su presentación clínica condicionada por la heteroplasmia. Es característico encontrar en el aspirado/biopsia de médula ósea vacuolización de los precursores de serie roja y sideroblastos en anillo. El diagnóstico de certeza se establece mediante el estudio genético del ácido desoxirribonucleico mitocondrial con Southern blot (amplificación completa de ácido desoxirribonucleico mitocondrial mediante reacción en cadena de la polimerasa-largo), que obtiene deleción del 70%-80% de 4977 pb (DNAm 8343-13459). No existe tratamiento curativo y las medidas son de soporte. Es frecuente el fallecimiento en los primeros años de vida. Se presentan dos casos de lactantes con síndrome de Pearson
