RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Response rates of approved systemic therapies for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) hover near 30%, suggesting unmet need. This study describes real-world treatment patterns and response rates of extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) in CTCL patients. METHODS: A chart review was conducted in the United States of adults with CTCL who initiated ECP between January 1, 2017, and February 28, 2019, and received at least three months of ECP treatment as monotherapy or concomitant therapy. Clinical outcomes were collected quarterly for up to 18 months. RESULTS: The 52 patients were predominantly Caucasian. Half were male; median age was 69 years. Most patients had Sézary syndrome (50%) or mycosis fungoides (36.5%). Nearly 40% of patients had stage IV disease; 33% had lymph node involvement. Nineteen patients (36.5%) achieved response (>50% reduction in BSA affected); median time to response was 6.5 months. The percentage of patients rated as at least minimally improved was 59.5% at 6 months (N = 22), 75.0% at 9 months (N = 24), and 60.0% at 12 months (N = 15) after ECP initiation. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the ECP treated population in this study being older and having more advanced-stage disease than recent trials, response rates were comparable. These real-world findings support ECP as an effective treatment option for CTCL patients.

RESUMO

Current treatments for T cell malignancies encounter issues of disease relapse and off-target toxicity. Using T cell receptor (TCR)Vß2 as a model, here we demonstrate the rapid generation of an off-the-shelf allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T platform targeting the clone-specific TCR Vß chain for malignant T cell killing while limiting normal cell destruction. Healthy donor T cells undergo CRISPR-induced TRAC, B2M and CIITA knockout to eliminate T cell-dependent graft-versus-host and host-versus-graft reactivity. Second generation 4-1BB/CD3zeta CAR containing high affinity humanized anti-Vß scFv is expressed efficiently on donor T cells via both lentivirus and adeno-associated virus transduction with limited detectable pre-existing immunoreactivity. Our optimized CAR-T cells demonstrate specific and persistent killing of Vß2+ Jurkat cells and Vß2+ patient derived malignant T cells, in vitro and in vivo, without affecting normal T cells. In parallel, we generate humanized anti-Vß2 antibody with enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) by Fc-engineering for NK cell ADCC therapy.

RESUMO

The incidence of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) increases with age, and blood involvement portends a worse prognosis. To advance our understanding of the development of CTCL and identify potential therapeutic targets, we performed integrative analyses of paired single-cell RNA and T-cell receptor (TCR) sequencing of peripheral blood CD4+ T cells from patients with CTCL to reveal disease-unifying features. The malignant CD4+ T cells of CTCL showed highly diverse transcriptomic profiles across patients, with most displaying a mature Th2 differentiation and T-cell exhaustion phenotype. TCR-CDR3 peptide prediction analysis suggested limited diversity between CTCL samples, consistent with a role for a common antigenic stimulus. Potential of heat diffusion for affinity-based trajectory embedding transition analysis identified putative precancerous circulating populations characterized by an intermediate stage of gene expression and mutation level between the normal CD4+ T cells and malignant CTCL cells. We further revealed the therapeutic potential of targeting CD82 and JAK that endow the malignant CTCL cells with survival and proliferation advantages.

RESUMO

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a malignancy of skin-homing T lymphocytes that is more likely to involve the peripheral blood in advanced stages. For such patients with advanced disease, there are few available systemic treatment options, and prognosis remains poor. Exome sequencing studies of CTCL have suggested therapeutic targets, including within the JAK/STAT pathway, but JAK inhibition strategies may be limited by patient-specific mutational status. Because our recent research has highlighted the potential roles of single and combination approaches specifically using BCL2, bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET), and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition, we aimed to investigate the effects of JAK inhibition on CTCL cells and established CTCL cell lines when paired with these and other targeting agents. Peripheral blood malignant CTCL isolates exhibited differential responses to JAK inhibition, with JAK2 expression levels negatively correlating to 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) values. Regardless of single-agent sensitivity, JAK inhibition potentiated malignant cell cytotoxicity in combination with BCL2, BET, HDAC, or proteasome inhibition. Combination inhibition of JAK and BCL2 showed the strongest potentiation of CTCL cytotoxicity, driven by both intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis pathways. JAK inhibition decreased expression of BCL2 in the high-responder samples, suggesting a putative mechanism for this combination activity. These results indicate that JAK inhibition may have major effects on CTCL cells, and that combination strategies using JAK inhibition may allow for more generalized cytotoxic effects against the malignant cells from patients with CTCL. Such preclinical assessments help inform prioritization for combination targeted drug approaches for clinical utilization in the treatment of CTCL.

RESUMO

Mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), is characterized by malignant CD4+ skin-homing T-cells that drive formation of cutaneous patches, plaques, and/or tumors. MF's known immunogenicity makes it an ideal candidate for local immunotherapy. Recombinant human leukocyte interferon-α2 (rIFN-α2) has well-established immunomodulatory, antiproliferative, and antitumor effects; and relatively low levels of endogenous IFN-α have been observed within MF lesions. As a systemic therapy delivered via subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) injection, rIFN-α2 has previously shown efficacy against MF. Due to high levels of toxicity associated with the systemic dosing required for improvement of disease, rIFN-α2 has had limited use in the treatment of MF. For these reasons, we sought to deliver rIFN-2 as a local immunotherapy, and herein describe two cases of MF successfully managed with intralesional injections of low-dose rIFN-α2. With limited reporting in the medical literature, intralesional injection of rIFN-α2 has shown efficacy, but with high frequency of associated systemic side effects. Towards a better tolerated, localized immunotherapy, we initiated treatment in two MF patients with low dose (0.5 MU) rIFN-α2 per injection that led to marked responses, and subsequent dosing to 1.0 MU ultimately led to complete resolution of the treated lesions without the generalized side effects observed with systemic administration of rIFN-α2. These cases suggest that low-dose intralesional rIFN-α2 may be an efficacious and well-tolerated local immunotherapy for early stage MF, providing a therapeutic option for the management of chronic, recalcitrant lesions.

RESUMO

Conventional emulsion-based sunscreen formulations are limited by postapplication epicutaneous penetration that increases the risk of allergic dermatitis, cellular damage, and filter photodegradation upon ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure. Encapsulation of the UVB filter padimate O within bioadhesive biodegradable nanoparticles (BNPs) composed of poly(d,l-lactic acid)-hyperbranched polyglycerol was previously shown to enhance UVR protection while preventing skin absorption. Herein, we assess the capacity of BNP co-incorporation of avobenzone and octocrylene to provide broad-spectrum UVR protection. The ratio of UV filters within nanoparticles (NPs) was optimized for filter-filter stabilization upon UV irradiation and maximum drug loading. In vitro water-resistance test showed significant particle retention at 85% over 3 hr. In a pilot clinical study, protection against UVR-induced erythema of BNPs was found to be comparable to the FDA standard P2. Thus, sunscreen formulations utilizing BNP incorporation of a combination of organic filters may offer key safety and performance advantages.

RESUMO

While several systemic therapies are approved for cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), a non-Hodgkin lymphoma of skin-homing T cells that may involve lymph nodes and peripheral blood in advanced stages, relapses are common. Mutational analysis of CTCL cells has revealed frequent amplification of the MYC oncogene, and bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) protein inhibitors have been shown to repress MYC expression in various malignancies. Towards a potential novel therapy, we thus sought to examine the effect of BET inhibition on CTCL cells in vitro. Each of the four tested BET inhibitors (JQ1, ABBV-075, I-BET762, CPI-0610) consistently induced dose-dependent decreases in viability of isolated patient-derived CTCL cells and established CTCL cell lines (MyLa, Sez4, HH, Hut78). This effect was synergistically potentiated by combination of BET inhibition with BCL2 inhibition (e.g. venetoclax) or histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition (e.g. vorinostat or romidepsin). There was also a marked increase in caspase 3/7 activation when JQ1 was combined with either vorinostat or romidepsin, confirming that the observed synergies are due in major part to induction of apoptosis. Furthermore, MYC and BCL2 expression were each synergistically repressed when CTCL cells were treated with JQ1 plus HDAC inhibitors, suggesting cooperative activities at the level of epigenetic regulation. Taken together, these data indicate that targeting BET proteins in CTCL represents a promising novel therapeutic strategy that may be substantially potentiated by combination with BCL2 or HDAC inhibition.

RESUMO

The presence and degree of peripheral blood involvement in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) portend a worse clinical outcome. Available systemic therapies for CTCL may variably decrease tumor burden and improve quality of life, but offer limited effects on survival; thus, novel approaches to the treatment of advanced stages of this non-Hodgkin lymphoma are clearly warranted. Mutational analyses of CTCL patient peripheral blood malignant cell samples suggested the antiapoptotic mediator B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) as a potential therapeutic target. To test this, we developed a screening assay for evaluating the sensitivity of CTCL cells to targeted molecular agents, and compared a novel BCL2 inhibitor, venetoclax, alone and in combination with a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, vorinostat or romidepsin. Peripheral blood CTCL malignant cells were isolated from 25 patients and exposed ex vivo to the 3 drugs alone and in combination, and comparisons were made to 4 CTCL cell lines (Hut78, Sez4, HH, MyLa). The majority of CTCL patient samples were sensitive to venetoclax, and BCL2 expression levels were negatively correlated (r = -0.52; P =018) to 50% inhibitory concentration values. Furthermore, this anti-BCL2 effect was markedly potentiated by concurrent HDAC inhibition with 93% of samples treated with venetoclax and vorinostat and 73% of samples treated with venetoclax and romidepsin showing synergistic effects. These data strongly suggest that concurrent BCL2 and HDAC inhibition may offer synergy in the treatment of patients with advanced CTCL. By using combination therapies and correlating response to gene expression in this way, we hope to achieve more effective and personalized treatments for CTCL.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Accurate quantification of malignant cells in the peripheral blood of patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is important for early detection, prognosis, and monitoring disease burden. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine the spectrum of current clinical practices; critically evaluate elements of current International Society for Cutaneous Lymphomas (ISCL) B1 and B2 staging criteria; and assess the potential role of T-cell receptor-Vß analysis by flow cytometry. METHODS: We assessed current clinical practices by survey, and performed a retrospective analysis of 161 patients evaluated at Yale (2011-2014) to compare the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of parameters for ISCL B2 staging. RESULTS: There was heterogeneity in clinical practices among institutions. ISCL B1 criteria did not capture 5 Yale cohort cases with immunophenotypic abnormalities that later progressed. T-cell receptor-Vß testing was more specific than polymerase chain reaction and aided diagnosis in detecting clonality, but was of limited benefit in quantification of tumor burden. LIMITATIONS: Because of limited follow-up involving a single center, further investigation will be necessary to conclude whether our proposed diagnostic algorithm is of general clinical benefit. CONCLUSION: We propose further study of modified B1 criteria: CD4/CD8 ratio 5 or greater, %CD4(+) CD26(-) 20% or greater, or %CD4(+) CD7(-) 20% or greater, with evidence of clonality. T-cell receptor-Vß testing should be considered in future diagnostic and staging algorithms.

RESUMO

Cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a non-Hodgkin lymphoma of skin-homing T lymphocytes. We performed exome and whole-genome DNA sequencing and RNA sequencing on purified CTCL and matched normal cells. The results implicate mutations in 17 genes in CTCL pathogenesis, including genes involved in T cell activation and apoptosis, NF-κB signaling, chromatin remodeling and DNA damage response. CTCL is distinctive in that somatic copy number variants (SCNVs) comprise 92% of all driver mutations (mean of 11.8 pathogenic SCNVs versus 1.0 somatic single-nucleotide variant per CTCL). These findings have implications for new therapeutics.

RESUMO

CD4 + primary cutaneous small/medium-sized pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma (CD4 + PCSM-TCL) is a rare T-cell lymphoma associated with a favorable prognosis. A retrospective study of 23 patients with CD4 + PCSM-TCL as defined by World Health Organization-European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (WHO-EORTC) and WHO classifications was conducted. Median age was 63 years. The head and neck were the most commonly affected locations, followed by the trunk. Two patients had evidence of systemic involvement at relapse. All tumors were CD3 + and CD4+. CD5 and CD7 loss occurred in 52% and 84%, respectively. The median follow-up was 33.6 months. Eleven patients had excisional biopsy only, six had localized radiotherapy and two received excision and localized radiation. Cytotoxic chemotherapy and localized radiation were used in one patient with aggressive and invasive features. All patients had a complete remission but one developed systemic involvement. Our case series demonstrates that CD4 + PCSM-TCL is an indolent T-cell lymphoma that can be treated with local modalities and raises the question of its current classification as a lymphoma.

RESUMO

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a heterogeneous non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that may variably involve the skin, lymph nodes, and peripheral blood. Malignant burden ranges from cutaneous patches and plaques with little evidence of blood involvement to erythroderma often in association with frank leukemia, as in Sézary syndrome. Toward a better understanding of the pathogenesis of this CD4+ T-cell malignancy, we conducted a high-resolution genomic analysis combining DNA (23 samples) and mRNA (12 samples) data of peripheral blood isolates from CTCL patients across a spectrum of stages. Strikingly, even patients with limited involvement, e.g., normal CD4 counts, contained significant copy-number alterations. Defining genomic characteristics of CTCL blood involvement included gains on 8q and 17q, and deletions on 17p and chromosome 10. A consensus analysis of 108 leukemic CTCL samples demonstrated global similarities among patients with varied blood involvement, narrowing 38 of 62 loci. Toward an annotated framework for in vitro testing, we also characterized genomic alterations in five CTCL cell lines (HH, HUT78, PNO, SeAx, and Sez4), revealing intact core features of leukemic CTCL. Together, these studies produce the most comprehensive view of the leukemic CTCL genome to date, with implications for pathogenesis, molecular classification, and potential future therapeutic developments.

RESUMO

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a rare fibrosing disorder described among patients with renal disease. Currently, no standard therapy exists, although therapeutic modalities have included plasmapheresis, extracorporeal photopheresis, sodium thiosulphate, imatinib and renal transplantation. We describe a patient with NSF who was physically debilitated and underwent renal transplantation. After transplantation, the patient's lesions improved clinically, and the patient was ambulatory. Despite developing worsening renal function, her lesions remained unchanged. We conclude that renal transplantation improves symptoms of NSF, and believe that in patients with NSF, careful consideration should be made for early renal transplantation.

RESUMO

Basal keratinocyte lysis is the hallmark histopathological finding of epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS), a group of rare heritable mechanobullous disorders characterized by intraepidermal blister formation and skin fragility. Over 100 mutations, found predominantly in the genes encoding keratins 5 and 14 (KRT5, KRT14), have been described to account for a variety of clinical subtypes. EBS with mottled pigmentation (EBS-MP) is a rare variant featuring childhood-onset reticulate hyperpigmentation and focal palmoplantar keratoderma, typically associated with a P25L KRT5 mutation. In this report, we present the case of a 77-year-old woman with a history of palmoplantar keratoderma who developed a transient EBS-MP-like phenotype associated with bexarotene treatment for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Genetic sequencing revealed a heterozygous G138E KRT5 variant, present in approximately 10% of the European population and only rarely associated with pathology. Bexarotene, which has been reported to alter keratin synthesis, caused vesiculobullous reactions with similar frequency in clinical trials. We propose that the cumulative effect of drug treatment and underlying G138E polymorphism resulted in transient basal keratinocyte lysis in our patient and provides a plausible explanation for this unusual bexarotene side effect.
