    Description: Studies of the relationship between the gastrointestinal microbiota and outcomes in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) have thus far largely focused on early complications, predominantly infection and acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). We examined the potential relationship of the microbiome with chronic GVHD (cGVHD) by analyzing stool and plasma samples collected late after allo-HCT using a case-control study design. We found lower circulating concentrations of the microbe-derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) propionate and butyrate in day 100 plasma samples from patients who developed cGVHD, compared with those who remained free of this complication, in the initial case-control cohort of transplant patients and in a further cross-sectional cohort from an independent transplant center. An additional cross-sectional patient cohort from a third transplant center was analyzed; however, serum (rather than plasma) was available, and the differences in SCFAs observed in the plasma samples were not recapitulated. In sum, our findings from the primary case-control cohort and 1 of 2 cross-sectional cohorts explored suggest that the gastrointestinal microbiome may exert immunomodulatory effects in allo-HCT patients at least in part due to control of systemic concentrations of microbe-derived SCFAs.

    Description: Background: Patients with COVID-19 have an increased risk of thromboembolic disease, this has been partly attributed to an excessive inflammatory response that is associated with hypercoagulability; patients develop thrombotic complications with rates of 6.4% in non-critically ill and 15 to 31 % in critically ill patients. With this data some clinicians have incorporated thromboprophylaxis with higher dose heparin into the management of this patients, to date there´s no information of the effect of this intervention. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort, including consecutive critical and non-critical adults admitted to a referral center in Mexico City, between March 18 and May 19, all with a positive RT-PCR for SARS-CoV 2. Conventional coagulation test results were collected on admission and during hospitalization; use of anticoagulation, and patient outcomes were recorded, all patients had been discharged at the time of the final analysis. Thromboprophylaxis was administered according to institutional recommendations and individual medical criteria, we defined anticoagulant dose according to each medication. We compared the basal characteristics and outcomes in critical and non-critical patients. We evaluated the factors associated with thrombosis, bleeding, and mortality using the Cox Regression Model. Results: We evaluated 447 consecutive hospitalized patients with COVID-19, median age was 50 years (range,18-91), 62.6 % were male, 111 (24.8%) were critical. At admission 156 patients (34.9%) had D-dimer values above 3000 ng/mL, median fibrinogen was 651 mg/dL (range 130-1095), APTT was prolonged (〉 3 seconds) in 179 patients (40%), and INR 〉1.2 in 26 patients (5.8%), median platelet value 215 X103/uL (range 33-666). Thromboprophylaxis' dosages were prophylactic in 267 (59.7%), intermediate in 75 (16.8%) and therapeutic in 91 (20.4%), 14 patients (3.1%) did not receive any medical thromboprophylaxis and 26 patients (5.8%) received aspirin during hospitalization. According to the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis' criteria (ISTH criteria) 40 patients (8.9%) had overt-DIC, sepsis induced coagulopathy (SIC) was present in 28 patients (6.3%), and high risk for bleeding by IMPROVE score ≥7 points was found in 5 patients (1.1%). Overall thrombotic event (TE) was confirmed in five patients (1.1%), arterial thrombosis events in 0.4%, one stroke and one acute myocardial infarction; radiographically confirmed venous thrombosis in 0.67%, two with pulmonary embolism (PE) and one with deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The TE were more common in critical than in non-critical patients (3.6% vs 0.3%). The number of CT pulmonary angiogram or duplex ultrasounds performed when PE/DVT was suspected was eighteen (4%), eight (47%) non-critically ill and ten (53%) in the ICU; the rate of radiographically positive results was 22.2%. The overall major bleeding rate was 2.5%, of these 91% were in the ICU. Mortality was 23.5% in the cohort. Table 1. No factors were found to be associated with thrombosis. The factors associated with bleeding were an INR 〉1.2 (HR 9.0, 95% CI 1.2-67.3, p 0.03), IMPROVE score ≥7 (HR 81.3, 95% CI 11.9-555.6, p 〈 0.01), and mechanical ventilation (HR 33.1, 95% CI 4.1-262.2, p 0.01). Factors associated with mortality were: age 〉70 (HR 2.5, 95% CI 1.5-4.2, p 3000 ng/mL (HR 2.0,95% CI 1.2-3.4, p

    Description: Background. GVHD is a frequent complication within the 1st year after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Recipients of reduced intensity (RI) and non-myeloablative (NMA) conditioning combined with calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-based GVHD prophylaxis, frequently develop GVHD in the context of immunosuppression taper. Ixazomib is an oral proteasome inhibitor (PI) that has demonstrated immunomodulatory properties, inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines, anti-tumor activity, and has a wide safety profile. We hypothesized that secondary GVHD prophylaxis using ixazomib, will facilitate CNI taper without increase in GVHD frequency and severity, maintaining graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effect, and a safety profile. Methods. We conducted an open label, prospective, single-center pilot study between 11/16 and 03/19. Eligible patients were 〉 18 yrs old, had a hematologic malignancy treated with RI or NMA conditioning allo-HCT, received CNI-based GVHD prophylaxis, and were within day 100 to 150 post-HCT. Patients with active acute and/or chronic GVHD were excluded. Patients were treated with ixazomib 4 mg orally once weekly, each cycle consisting of 3 weeks on and 1 week off therapy, until completion of taper from prophylactic CNI or 1-year post-HCT was reached, whichever occurred first. Patients who developed grade II-IV acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, or died of transplant-related mortality (TRM) were deemed treatment failure. The primary endpoint was the efficacy of ixazomib for the prevention of recurrent or late grade II-IV acute GVHD or chronic GVHD at 1-year post-HCT. Additional endpoints included TRM, relapse rate, survival analysis, safety evaluation, and immune reconstitution. Results. A total of 18 patients (median age of 58 yrs) were accrued in the study. The majority were male, had a diagnosis of NHL, and received RI conditioning (Table 1). All patients had a PBSC graft, and 16 (89%) were 10/10 HLA-matched. The median time for initiation of ixazomib was 141.5 days post-HCT. Fourteen patients had no GVHD during the study period. The 4 patients who developed GVHD had severe overlap syndrome (n = 2), mild de novo chronic GVHD (n = 1), and recurrent grade II acute GVHD (n = 1). Notably, patients with severe overlap syndrome had limited chronic GVHD involvement affecting the mouth and/or eyes, and the severity score was driven by acute manifestations affecting the skin and GI tract. Six patients successfully discontinued CNI and 4 patients were tapering immunosuppression close to the end of study at 1-year post-HCT. The cumulative incidence (CI) of grade II-IV acute and chronic GVHD at 1-year post-HCT was 25% (95%CI: 7.2-48.1) (Fig. 1A). No patients died during the study and therefore, the CI of TRM at 1-year was 0%, and only 1 patient had malignant relapse (NHL). The CI of PFS and the composite endpoint GVHD-free/relapse-free survival (GRFS) at 1-year were 83% (95%CI: 58-100) and 73% (95%CI: 49-100, Fig 1B), respectively. All patients experienced at least 1 TEAE of any grade. Most AEs were grade 1 or 2, with the most common being cytopenia and elevation in ALT/AST. Drug-related SAEs were reported in 9 patients and included neutrophil and decreased WBC. Seven patients required ixazomib dose reduction due to side effects, and 5 patients were removed from the study due to toxicity (1 neutropenia, 3 GI, 1 skin rash). Of those, 1 had subsequent GVHD by day 365 post-HCT. Immune recovery at 3, 6 and 12 months post-HCT was evaluated. There was a rapid and sustained recovery in T-cell subpopulations and B cell reconstitution Fig 2. Conclusions. Secondary GVHD prophylaxis with ixazomib was associated with low incidence of recurrent and late acute and chronic GVHD within the 1st year post-HCT. This approach allowed CNI taper while preserving GVT effect without aggravating GVHD. No deaths occurred during the study period and the 1-year GRFS was high. Ixazomib was overall well tolerated and favored immune reconstitution post-HCT. Our findings support further development of this approach and provide a proof-of-concept for secondary GVHD prophylaxis. Disclosures Dahi: Kite: Consultancy.

    Description: Background: Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that is typically associated with a poor prognosis. Romidepsin is a histone deacetylase inhibitor approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for patients with PTCL who have received at least 1 prior therapy (J Clin Oncol. 2012;30:631). Presented here is the final analysis of a phase III randomized study comparing romidepsin + cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (Ro-CHOP) with CHOP in patients with previously untreated PTCL. Methods: Ro-CHOP (NCT01796002) is a randomized multicenter phase III study in adult patients with previously untreated PTCL (i.e. nodal or extranodal entities including primary cutaneous non epidermotropic TCL, with the exclusion of ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphomas and EBV-positive extranodal NK/T-cell lymphomas). Diagnostic biopsies were centrally reviewed (94%), and patients were randomized based on International Prognostic Index (IPI) score at baseline (〈 2 vs ≥ 2), age (≤ 60 vs 〉 60 y), and histology type (nodal vs extranodal) to receive either Ro-CHOP or CHOP. Two-sided P-value from log-rank test stratified by all 3 stratification factors was used. All patients received CHOP in 3-week cycles for 6 cycles. Romidepsin, 12 mg/m2, was administered intravenously on days 1 and 8 of each 3-week cycle for 6 cycles (Lancet Haematol. 2015;2:e160), with dose reductions to 10 and 8 mg/m2 based on toxicity. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Adjudication Committee assessment according to International Working Group 1999 criteria. Secondary end points included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), complete response (CR) + CR unconfirmed (CRu), and safety. Results: As of the December 13, 2019 cutoff date, 421 patients were included in the intention-to-treat population (Ro-CHOP, n = 211; and CHOP, n =210). Median age was 65 y (range, 25-81); 76 patients (18%) had ECOG PS of 2-3; 267 (63%) had Ann Arbor stage IV disease; and 342 (81%) had IPI score ≥ 2. At a median follow-up of 27.5 mo, the study did not meet its primary end point because Ro-CHOP did not show a statistically significant PFS improvement vs CHOP alone. Median PFS for Ro-CHOP vs CHOP was 12.0 mo (95% CI, 9.0-25.8) vs 10.2 mo (95% CI, 7.4-13.2), with a hazard ratio of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.63-1.04; P = 0.096). Median OS for Ro-CHOP vs CHOP was 51.8 mo (95% CI, 35.7-72.6) vs 42.9 mo (95% CI, 29.9-not evaluable). ORR of Ro-CHOP vs CHOP was 63% vs 60% with CR + CRu rates of 41% vs 37%. In the safety population (Ro-CHOP, n = 210; CHOP, n = 208), any-grade treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) that occurred ≥ 40% in the Ro-CHOP or CHOP arms, respectively, included anemia (67% vs 38%), nausea (55% vs 31%), thrombocytopenia (52% vs 17%), neutropenia (51% vs 37%), and vomiting (40% vs 10%). Grade 3/4 TEAEs that occurred in ≥ 30% of patients in the Ro-CHOP or CHOP arm, respectively, included thrombocytopenia (50% vs 10%), neutropenia (49% vs 33%), anemia (47% vs 17%), and leukopenia (32% vs 20%). One grade 5 TEAE occurred in the Ro-CHOP arm (E. coli sepsis), and 2 occurred in the CHOP arm (colitis and acute cholecystitis). In the Ro-CHOP vs CHOP arms, TEAEs led to CHOP dose interruption in 75 (36%) vs 42 (20%) patients, reduction in 54 (26%) vs 31 (15%) patients, and discontinuation in 7 (3%) and 6 (3%) patients, respectively. In the Ro-CHOP arm, TEAEs led to romidepsin interruption, reduction, and discontinuation in 132 (63%), 77 (37%), and 17 (8%) patients, respectively. Conclusions: The addition of romidepsin to CHOP did not improve PFS, the primary endpoint of the study, and response rates and OS appeared similar with the combination. The toxicity profile of Ro-CHOP was consistent with its phase Ib/II data, with no unexpected findings. The high rates of TEAEs with the addition of romidepsin hampered the ability to adequately administer 6 cycles of CHOP. Additional exploratory analyses to compare Ro-CHOP outcomes in specific patient subgroups are ongoing. The combination of CHOP plus romidepsin does not represent an advance in the standard of care for patients with previously untreated PTCL.

    Description: Background: Venetoclax (ven) combined with azacitidine (aza/ven), decitabine (dec/ven), and low-dose cytarabine (LDAC/ven) is approved as frontline therapy for older or otherwise unfit AML patients (pts) and also frequently used for pts with relapsed/refractory (RR)-AML. However, clinical outcomes of AML pts who receive an allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT) after ven combination (ven combo) therapy are unclear. Methods: All AML pts who received treatment with aza/ven, dec/ven or LDAC/ven as either initial induction or for RR disease at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center from 08/2016 to 02/2020 and underwent a subsequent allo-SCT were included. The response to ven therapy prior to alloSCT was determined using the 2017 European LeukemiaNet response criteria. The overall response rate was defined as the combination of the complete response (CR) + complete response with incomplete count recovery (CRi) + morphologic leukemia free state (MLFS) rate. Measurable residual disease (MRD) was assessed by multiparameter flow cytometric analysis of bone marrow aspirate samples. Any level of residual disease was considered MRD+. Overall survival (OS) after alloSCT was calculated from the day of graft infusion until death or time of last follow-up. Results: A total of 130 pts were treated with ven combo therapy with 18 pts (13.8% of all pts) receiving a subsequent alloSCT. Median age was 65 years (A). While 3 pts received a ven combo as the first treatment for AML, 15 pts had RR-AML. Aza/ven was most commonly used (72%) and the majority of pts (83%) received 1-2 cycles of ven therapy prior to alloSCT. For 7, 6, 4 and 1 pts the donor was a matched related, a matched unrelated, a mismatched unrelated, or haploidentical; only one pt had received a prior alloSCT for AML (B). Unmodified peripheral blood stem cells (66%) and reduced intensity conditioning regimens (77%) were most commonly used. In pts who proceeded to an alloSCT, 12/18 pts achieved a response after ven combination therapy: 4/18 MRD-CR/CRi, 4/18 MRD+CR/CRi, 4/18 MLFS; 6/18 pts had persistent disease (C and D). It is important to note that these response rates were specific to patients who received an alloSCT after ven combination therapy. While pts with DNMT3A, NPM1, IDH1/2 and FLT3 mutations had a high response rate to ven therapy prior to alloSCT, none of the pts with TP53 or NRAS mutations achieved a response prior to alloSCT (E). Only DNMT3A mutations were statistically significantly associated with a high response rate prior to alloSCT (ORR 100%, CR/CRi 63%, p=0.01). AlloSCT was able to convert pts with MRD+ or persistent disease into an MRD- state in 50% of cases (F). With a median follow up of 10 months, the median OS was not reached; 56% of pts relapsed after alloSCT. Median time to relapse for all pts was 18 months (95% CI 4 months-not reached [NR]). Disease status prior to alloSCT was a powerful predictor of post-transplant outcomes. Pts who achieved CR, CRi, or MLFS with ven therapy prior to alloSCT had significantly prolonged OS (median OS not reached) compared with pts who had persistent disease prior to alloSCT (median OS 7 months, 95% CI 2.14 months-NR; p=0.029; G). The poor OS for pts with persistent disease prior to alloSCT was mainly driven by a high incidence of relapse for these pts compared to pts who achieved a response to ven combos (H). The median time to relapse after alloSCT was 17.9 months (95% CI 6.1 months-NR) for pts who achieved CR, CRi, or MLFS prior to alloSCT, and only 3.3 months (95% CI 1.9 months-NR, p=0.052) for pts with persistent disease prior to alloSCT. While 67% of pts experienced grade I-II acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD), only 1 pt was found to have grade III aGVHD and no pt experienced grade IV aGVHD. Median time to aGVHD after alloSCT was 1.4 months (95% CI 0.89 months-NR). Conclusion: Venetoclax combination therapy can bridge some AML pts to subsequent alloSCT. Most pts who underwent alloSCT received reduced-intensity conditioning given their advanced age and comorbidities. Pts who achieved CR, CRi, or MLFS with ven-based therapy prior to alloSCT had more favorable outcomes after alloSCT. With more widespread use of venetoclax, we anticipate that alloSCT following good responses to venetoclax combination therapy will become more common in pts with AML. Longer-term studies are needed to determine durability of post-alloSCT responses following pre-alloSCT venetoclax combination therapy.
