    Description: Abstract 4934 The classical triad of eczema, recurrent skin and lung infections and high serum IgE, other connective tissue, cardiac and brain abnormalities are the accepted diagnostic criteria for HIES. The treatment of HIES is not established due to the scarce number of published cases, however is limited to skin local measures and supportive care. Herein we inform a severe case with response to Omalizumab, a monoclonal anti IgE antibody in combination with Dexametasone. A 36 year old male with family history of asthma and atopic dermatitis (AD). Since child, the patient had allergies and AD. At 8 years he presented asthma and recurrent upper airway infections at 2 to 3 times per year and 7 dental pieces removal. In the last 3 years he noted important increase of AD with very intense and disabling pruritus without response to treatment and progression to generalized erithrodermia, nodes in legs and arms, and skin trasudate, axilar and inguinal lymph nodes (6×4 cm). Laboratory positive test were eosinophils 6%, serum IgE 29,280 IU/mL. Skin biopsy showed psoriasis-like dermatitis, micro abscesses and dermatopathic lymphadenopathy. We started treatment with trimetoprim/Sulfamethoxazole 80/400 mg twice a day, oral Dexametasone 20 mg weekly and Omalizumab 200 mg subcutaneously every two weeks. After 15 days of treatment there was a rapid improvement of skin derangement and IgE levels dropped to 2000 IU/mL after 16 weeks of treatment. Patient continues on treatment with no side effects and pruritus disappears. Omalizumab is a monoclonal antibody against IgE recently introduced to the treatment of HIES in a few patients reported since 2008 with excellent response, along with intensive care of skin lesions, prompt antibiotic and antimycotic treatment for infections are the mainstay of HIES management.

    Description: Imatinib (IMA) total stop therapy has interesting worldwide results in selected patients (pts) with CML Ph+ who have achieved 4 to 5 log reduction of BCR/ABL copies, however there is no information of LDR. The observation that IMA intolerance induces a dose reduction in our cases and, the fact that during the follow-up of their RT-PCR for BCR/ABL remains in 〉 4 log reduction after two years, was the rationale for an open prospective LDR program with the main objective to optimizing CML Ph+ treatment due to economical limitations and drug availability in Mexico. Herein we report our ongoing preliminary results: A total of 73 of 152 (48%) pts was eligible for LDR after achieving Major Molecular Response (MMR) who reduced of 〉 4 log in at least two RT-PCR determinations in one or two years. The molecular response was assessed by peripheral blood real-time polymerase chain reaction at selected laboratory, able to express the results according to the International Scale (Hughes T, et al. Blood 2006;108:28-37). LDR included reduction of IMA to 25% of the 400mg for the chronic phase and 33% for the accelerated phase or those who reduced from 800 to 600 and even 400mg. Among 73 pts, 11 (15%, historic group) were intolerant to IMA and their median dose reduction was 50% (Min-Max; 25-100%) with a median follow-up of 28 months (12-48) with only one relapse after 48 months of dose reduction. The LDR included 62 of 152 (40%) pts with a median age of 37 years (18-74), the gender was, female/male (n-30/32), the median time (MT) duration of CML was 8 years (4-18 years), the MT of reduction was 16 months (12-30). In 52 of 62 pts (83%) the proportion of LDR was 25% and the others in the range of 800 to 400mg. Molecular relapse was seen in 4 cases (6.4%) of the 25% reduction group and in 2 cases of the 50% (600-to 800mg) that represented 1.2%. The LDR program is an interesting alternative for optimizing CML Ph+ IMA treatment with range from one to two and a half years in MMR with a 7.2% global relapse rate which is lower than the total interruption of TKIs in previous literature reports; however, the inclusion of more pts with follow-up as well, is mandatory to validate our program and the economic impact.

    Description: Introduction: BOS is approved for patients (pts) with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) CML resistant/intolerant to prior therapy and pts with newly diagnosed Ph+ CP CML. Approval of first-line BOS was based on the primary results from the phase 3 BFORE trial, which showed superior efficacy vs imatinib (IMA) in the modified intent-to-treat (ITT) population (pop; Ph+ with e13a2/e14a2 transcripts) after ≥12 mo of follow-up. We report the final efficacy and safety results from the BFORE trial after 5 y of follow-up. Methods: In the open-label BFORE trial (NCT02130557), 536 pts with newly diagnosed CP CML were randomized 1:1 to receive BOS (n=268) or IMA (n=268; 3 untreated), both at 400 mg once daily. Efficacy was assessed in the ITT pop (all randomized pts). Long-term secondary endpoints included duration of response (DOR), on-treatment event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). Safety was assessed in the safety pop (all treated pts). This final analysis was based on an April 17, 2020 last pt last visit (June 12, 2020 database lock), 5 y (240 weeks) after the last enrolled pt. Results: At study completion in BOS and IMA arms, respectively, 59.7% and 57.4% were still on treatment, 86.6% and 86.2% completed 5 y on study. Median duration of treatment and time on study was 55.2 mo for pts receiving BOS or IMA; respective median (range) dose intensity was 394 (39-583) vs 400 (189-765) mg/d. Cumulative major molecular response (MMR) rate by 60 mo was higher with BOS vs IMA (73.9% vs 64.6%), as was cumulative molecular response (MR)4 (58.2% vs 48.1%) and MR4.5 rate (47.4% vs 36.6%; Table). Among evaluable pts, more pts in the BOS arm achieved BCR-ABL1 ≤10% at 3 months (Table); cumulative MMR by 60 mo was higher in pts with transcripts ≤10% vs 〉10% in both treatment arms (BOS, HR 2.67 [95% CI, 1.90-3.75]; IMA, HR 3.12 [2.19-4.45]). Pts in the BOS arm achieved responses earlier than pts in the IMA arm; cumulative incidence function for MMR, MR4 and MR4.5 was higher with BOS vs IMA (HR [95% CI]: MMR 1.34 [1.10-1.64], MR4 1.34 [1.07-1.69], MR4.5 1.41 [1.09-1.83]). Among responders, duration of MMR was similar for BOS and IMA (Table). Superior MRs with BOS vs IMA were consistent across Sokal risk groups, with the greatest difference seen in pts with high Sokal risk (Table). On-treatment transformations to accelerated/blast phase (AP/BP) occurred in 6 (AP 3; BP 3) BOS- and 7 (AP 6; BP 1) IMA-treated pts. No transformation occurred after the 24-mo follow-up. In all, 18 BOS- vs 25 IMA-treated pts had EFS events. There were no differences in EFS between treatment arms; cumulative incidence of on treatment progression/death at 60 mo was 6.7% for BOS vs 9.3% for IMA (Table). The 60-mo OS rates were similar (94.5% and 94.6%; Table); 14 BOS- and 14 IMA-treated pts died during the study period: 3 and 4 were CML-related, 0 and 1 were due to adverse events (AEs) related to study treatment. The most common reasons for permanent discontinuation were AEs (25.0% vs 12.5%) and lack of efficacy (4.9% vs 16.2%). Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) occurred in 98.9% of pts in each arm; most common (〉30%) were diarrhea (75.0%), nausea (37.3%), thrombocytopenia (35.8%) and increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT; 33.6%) with BOS, and diarrhea (40.4%), nausea (42.3%) and muscle spasms (30.6%) with IMA. Most TEAEs occurred during the first year of treatment. Grade 3/4 TEAEs occurred in 73.5% of BOS- vs 57.0% of IMA-treated pts; most common (〉5%) were increased ALT (20.9%) and lipase (13.4%), thrombocytopenia (14.2%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (10.4%), diarrhea (9.0%) and neutropenia (7.5%) with BOS, and neutropenia (13.6%), thrombocytopenia (6.0%), anemia (5.7%) and increased lipase (5.7%) with IMA. No individual AE led to discontinuation in 〉5% of pts. The most frequent AEs leading to permanent treatment discontinuation were increased ALT (4.9%) with BOS vs thrombocytopenia (1.5%) with IMA; 1.5% vs 1.1% of pts discontinued due to diarrhea. Conclusions: At 5 y, first-line BOS continued to show superior efficacy vs IMA; BOS-treated pts achieved earlier and deeper molecular response. An improvement in MR with BOS was demonstrated across Sokal risk groups, with the greatest benefit vs IMA observed in Sokal high-risk pts. Long-term AEs were generally manageable, and consistent with previous reports and the known safety profiles of both drugs. These results confirm the use of BOS as a standard of care in pts with newly diagnosed CP CML.
