RESUMO

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare outcomes of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) maintenance therapy with or without allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in first remission (CR1). A literature search was performed on PubMed, Cochrane, and Clinical trials.gov. After screening 1720 articles, 12 studies were included. Proportions and odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were computed. I2 provides an estimate of the percentage of variability in results across studies that is due to real differences and not due to chance. Of 1039 patients, 635 (61%) had TKI alone and 404 (39%) patients had HSCT followed by TKI. At 3 years, a trend towards poor overall survival (OS; OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.39-1.15, I2 = 68%), (disease-free survival; OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.26-1.29, I2 = 76%), and higher relapse rate (RR; OR = 2.52, 95% CI = 1.66-3.83, I2 = 26%) was seen with TKI alone compared to HSCT-TKI. Although HSCT followed by TKI maintenance in Ph+ ALL has long been considered standard of care, the introduction of potent third-generation TKIs and bispecific T-cell engagers such as Blinatumomab has significantly improved outcomes while sparing the need for HSCT in newly diagnosed patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The role of salvage autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (sAHCT2) for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in the era of modern therapeutics is unclear. As prospective data is limited, we conducted a retrospective analysis to determine the outcomes of sAHCT2. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a single-institution, retrospective analysis of patients who received sAHCT2 at The Ohio State University from 2000 to 2018. Patients who received a second transplant as part of a planned tandem or autologous-allogeneic transplant were excluded. RESULTS: Fifty-seven patients were treated with sAHCT2. Patients had a median of 2 lines of therapy after AHCT1 prior to their sAHCT2; 70% had prior immunomodulatory imide drugs, 82% had prior proteasome inhibitor, and 20% had prior anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies as part of re-induction therapy. Forty-two percent of patients attained ≥VGPR prior to sAHCT2. Seventy-four were treated with melphalan 200 mg/m2 as conditioning regimen before infusion of a median of 3.8 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg. Fifty-eight percent patients had maintenance therapy and 81% patients attained CR/VGPR as the best response after sAHCT2. The median PFS and OS after sAHCT2 were 1.6 and 3.6 years, respectively. On multivariable analysis, high-risk cytogenetics, not having attained CR/VGPR, and having more than 2 lines of therapy post-AHCT1 were associated with inferior PFS. Melphalan 140 mg/m2 compared to melphalan 200 mg/m2 and no maintenance therapy compared to maintenance therapy were not associated with inferior PFS. There was no transplant-related mortality in this patient cohort. CONCLUSIONS: For MM patients deriving durable remission after their AHCT1, sAHCT2 was safe and resulted in deep and durable remissions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Individuals with Lynch syndrome (LS) and hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) are at increased risk of both colorectal cancer and other cancers. The interplay between immunosuppression, a comorbid inflammatory condition (CID), and HNPCC on cancer risk is unclear. AIM: To evaluate the impact of CIDs, and exposure to monoclonal antibodies and immunomodulators, on cancer risk in individuals with HNPCC. METHODS: Individuals prospectively followed in a hereditary cancer registry with LS/HNPCC with the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease or rheumatic disease were identified. We compared the proportion of patients with cancer in LS/HNPCC group with and without a CID. We also compared the proportion of patients who developed cancer following a CID diagnosis based upon exposure to immunosuppressive medications. RESULTS: A total of 21 patients with LS/HNPCC and a CID were compared to 43 patients with LS/HNPCC but no CID. Cancer occurred in 84.2% with a CID compared to 76.7% without a CID (P = 0.74) with no difference in age at first cancer diagnosis 45.5 ± 14.6 vs 43.8 ± 7.1 years (P = 0.67). LS specific cancers were diagnosed in 52.4% with a CID vs 44.2% without a CID (P = 0.54). Nine of 21 (42.9%) patients were exposed to biologics or immunomodulators for the treatment of their CID. Cancer after diagnosis of CID was seen in 7 (77.8%) of exposed individuals vs 5 (41.7%) individuals unexposed to biologics/immunomodulators (P = 0.18). All 7 exposed compared to 3/5 unexposed developed a LS specific cancer. The exposed and unexposed groups were followed for a median 10 years and 8.5 years, respectively. The hazard ratio for cancer with medication exposure was 1.59 (P = 0.43, 95%CI: 0.5-5.1). CONCLUSION: In patients with LS/HNPCC, the presence of a concurrent inflammatory condition, or use of immunosuppressive medication to treat the inflammatory condition, might not increase the rate of cancer occurrence in this limited study.

RESUMO

Platelet-albumin-bilirubin (PALBI) score was proposed by Roayaie et al with modification of previously studied albumin-bilirubin score to include platelet as an indicator of portal hypertension in 2015. Predictive value of this score was recently tested by Elshaarawy et al for re-bleeding in patients presenting with acute variceal hemorrhage. We did a similar study at our center (n = 170) to look at incidence of re-bleeding after band ligation defined as drop in 2 units of hemoglobin and witnessed melena or hematemesis within 2 wk of the procedure. We calculated PALBI scores for all patients based on lab values prior to the procedure. Of 25.3% had re-bleeding episodes, area under receiver operating characteristic curve for PALBI as predictor of re-bleeding was 0.601 (95% confidence interval: 0.502-0.699). PALBI score showed moderate accuracy at predicting re-bleeding in our population.

RESUMO

Brucellosis is a zoonotic bacterial infection and is highly treatable. Despite being eradicated from most developed countries, its prevalence in Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia pose a high risk of morbidity if undiagnosed. It mainly affects the reticuloendothelial system and manifests as fever, constitutional symptoms, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly, but other organ systems can also be involved. Neurobrucellosis is a type of brucellosis in which the central or peripheral nervous systems are affected. It can present with a myriad of signs and symptoms such as stroke, meningitis, and cranial nerve palsies. We present a rare case of a 16-year-old boy with brucellosis who presented with pancytopenia and foot drop. He was subsequently managed with intravenous antibiotics for brucellosis and physiotherapy for foot drop.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Ibrutinib, a Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor has reformed the treatment of various B-cell malignancies including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma, and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. Although generally well tolerated, here we describe our institutional experience of unique adverse effects encountered with the use of ibrutinib in patients with B-cell lymphomas. METHODS: This is a retrospective observational study done at a tertiary care facility, to evaluate adverse events in patients with B-cell malignancies on treatment with ibrutinib between 2014 and 2018. Further details including type of malignancy, cytogenetics, interventions for treatment of the side effect, and outcomes were obtained through electronic health record. CASE SERIES: We found 10 patients with unique adverse events related to ibrutinib. Among those, six had chronic lymphocytic leukemia, two had Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, and two had mantle cell lymphoma. The events included palindromic rheumatoid arthritis, diffuse spongiotic dermatitis, bullous pemphigoid, recurrent hemorrhagic stroke, peripheral neuropathy, recurrent paronychia, intramedullary fibrosis, recurrent joint pains, pulmonary aspergillosis, dyspnea with exacerbation of atrial fibrillation, and resolution of autoimmune hemolytic anemia. CONCLUSION: Our case series illustrates the wide variety of unique events recognized in patients treated with ibrutinib, some of which required cessation and most had dose reduction of the treatment. Thus, stressing the importance of early identification and intervention for the events to avoid worsening of toxicity and inability to continue treatment in such patients.
