BACKGROUND: Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) are a group of aggressive malignancies with inferior outcomes compared to B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Both allogeneic and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are commonly employed for consolidation and salvage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a single-center review of all adult PTCL patients at OHSU who received HCT from 1991 to 2020 with responses assed by CIBMTR criteria. RESULTS: 88 patients (autoHCT = 52, alloHCT = 36) were identified from the internal registry of ∼3800 autoHCT & alloHCT recipients in that time period...

Venetoclax, a potent BCL-2 inhibitor, is currently under development for treatment of t(11;14) Multiple myeloma (MM). The objective of this research was to investigate the exposure-response relationships of venetoclax for a phase 1/2 study evaluating venetoclax monotherapy or in combination with dexamethasone in relapsed or refractory MM. A total of 117 patients receiving venetoclax at 300, 600, 800, 900, or 1200 mg were included in the analysis. The impact of venetoclax exposures on efficacy (objective response rate [ORR], progression-free survival [PFS] and overall survival [OS]) as well as safety (treatment-emergent adverse effects (grade ≥3) of neutropenia, infection, and any grade of serious treatment-emergent adverse effects) was evaluated...

INTRODUCTION: The treatment of elderly multiple myeloma (MM) patients with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a controversial procedure. Most clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of ASCT have primarily included patients younger than 65 years. DESIGN AND METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of patients with MM who underwent ASCT between 2008 and 2018. Patients at or over 65 years were compared with patients under 65 years. We analyzed treatment-related mortality (TRM), response rate, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS)...

Immunotherapy using bispecific antibodies including bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) has the potential to enhance the efficacy of treatment for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. However, myeloma may still recur after treatment due to downregulation of a target antigen and/or myeloma cell heterogeneity. To strengthen immunotherapy for myeloma while overcoming its characteristics, we have newly developed a BiTE-based modality, referred to as Bridging-BiTE (B-BiTE). B-BiTE was able to bind to both a human IgG-Fc domain and the CD3 molecule...

Deleterious germline RUNX1 variants cause the autosomal dominant disease familial platelet disorder with associated myeloid malignancy (FPDMM), characterized by thrombocytopenia, platelet functional defects and predisposition to hematologic malignancies (HMs). We launched a FPDMM natural history study and, from January 2019-December 2021, enrolled 214 participants, including 111 patients with 39 different RUNX1 variants from 45 unrelated families. Of those with available data, 91% (70/77) had thrombocytopenia, 100% (18/18) had abnormal platelet aggregometry, 46% (16/35) had platelets with decreased dense granules, and 51% (28/55) had abnormal bleeding scores...

PURPOSE: The gold standard for monitoring response status in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) is serum and urine protein electrophoresis which quantify M-spike proteins; however, the turnaround time for results is 3-7 days which delays treatment decisions. We hypothesized that machine learning (ML) could integrate readily available clinical and laboratory data to rapidly and accurately predict patient M-spike values. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed using the deidentified, electronic medical records of 171 patients with MM...

Telomere dysfunction is a notable event observed in many cancers contributing to their genomic instability. A major factor controlling telomere stability is the human telomerase reverse transcriptase catalytic subunit (hTERT). Telomere shortening has been observed in multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell malignancy with a complex and heterogeneous genetic background. In the present study, we aimed to analyse telomere length and hTERT genetic variants as potential markers of risk and survival in 251 MM patients...
