Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in patients with chemo-refractory B-cell lymphoma, a significant portion is refractory or relapse. Resistance is a major barrier to improving treatment efficacy and long-term survival in CAR T-cell therapy, and clinicians have very limited tools to discriminate a priori patients who will or will not respond to treatment. While CD19-negative relapses due to loss of target antigen is well described, it accounts for only about 30% of cases with treatment failure...

OBJECTIVES: The higher risk of prolonged viral shedding in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients with haematological malignancies (HM) necessitates test-based de-isolation strategies. However, evidence to establish their appropriate isolation period is insufficient. This study investigated the factors affecting prolonged viral shedding and the requisite isolation period in these patients. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 14 COVID-19 patients with HM between January and April 2022, who were subjected to our test-based de-isolation strategy, followed by analysis of the viral load trajectory...

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T) are widely used for the treatment of relapsed/refractory Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The data for CAR-T cell therapy in patients with extra-nodal(EN) lymphoma is restricted. We included 126 consecutive patients with DLBCL treated with commercially available CAR-T cells (tisagenlecleucel, n=100, 79.4% and axicabtagene ciloleucel, n=26, 20.6%). At lymphodepletion, 72/126(57%) had EN disease, 42/126(33%) patients had nodal disease (ND)-only and 12/126(10%) showed no disease assessed by PET-CT...

Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation's success lies in its ability to induce immune reconstitution. To date, there is no review published to compare the immune reconstitution among the three sources of HSC: umbilical cord blood (UCB), bone marrow (BM), and peripheral blood (PB). The review aims to analyze the kinetic of immune reconstitution among UCB, PB, and BM in HSC transplant patients by focusing on NK cells, B and T lymphocytes, and neutrophils. A systematic review was conducted through five databases, searching for clinical trials and RCTs which analyze the kinetics of immune reconstitution in at least two sources...

There are few large-scale epidemiological and prognostic studies on blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) due to its rarity. We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to investigate the incidence, clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, and survival trends of BPDCN. The age-adjusted incidence of BPDCN had a bimodal pattern with peaks in those under 20 and above 60 years. Of 697 patients, the median age at diagnosis was 31 years. The most common primary sites were lymph nodes (59...

INTRODUCTION: A high CD4/CD8 T cell ratio in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) allografts was observed to predict graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) but has not been comparatively examined in settings of various GVHD-prophylaxis regimens. METHODS: This retrospective monocentric study included all consecutive HSCT performed with peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) between January 2000 and June 2021. The impact of the graft CD4/CD8 ratio was analyzed in three cohorts with different GVHD-prophylaxis platforms...

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cancer (PC) carries a high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Several risk assessment models (RAMs) predict benefit of thromboprophylaxis in solid tumors; however, none are verified in metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC). METHODS: A retrospective mPC cohort treated at an academic cancer center from 2010-16 was investigated for VTE incidence (VTEmets). Multivariable regression analysis was used to assess multiple VTE risk factors. Overall survival (OS) was compared between mPC groups with and without VTE...

OBJECTIVES: Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a risk factor for life-threatening infections. Early diagnosis and prompt interventions are associated with better outcomes, but the prediction of infection severity remains an open question. Recently, National Early Warning Score (NEWS) and quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) scores were proposed as warning clinical instruments predicting in-hospital mortality, but their role in the haematological context is still unknown...

Because of lacking of head-to-head comparison among recently effective novel agents combination regimens for newly diagnosed patients with mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) who are ineligible for intensive therapy like autologous stem cell transplantation, the optimal option for these patients still remains undefined. We searched relevant published reports. Three RCTs with 1459 subjects were identified. In the network meta-analysis, ibrutinib plus bendamustine and rituximab (Ibru+BR) significantly improved progression free survival (PFS) when compared to bortezomib, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (VR-CAP) (HR:0...
