Retrospective Analysis of Adolescent Young Adult Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia or Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Treated with the CALGB 10403 Regimen Since Completion of Trial Enrollmen... (SDCC - Halls G-H) - Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_5673; Previously treated patients, except with hydroxyurea, steroids, or one dose of single-agent therapy were excluded; patients given rituximab for CD20+ B-ALL were included...Forty-four patients (44%) were taken off C10403 while in CR; 20 (20%) for allogeneic HCT, 23 (23%) for non-HCT alternative treatments including Hyper-CVAD or blinatumomab, and 1 (1%) for patient preference...While only 31% of patients completed the regimen through end of maintenance, a majority of patients who came off regimen either underwent consolidative HCT or alternative therapy while in CR. These data confirm the pediatric regimen as an excellent front-line option in AYA ALL.

Treatment and Follow-up Data for Young Patients with a Gne Defect and Congenital Thrombocytopenia (SDCC - Halls G-H) - Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_5379; Of particular interest is the effectiveness of romiplostim in ameliorating thrombocytopenia in these cases. Both siblings in our study exhibited stable, acceptable platelet counts in response to this therapy, suggesting that romiplostim might offer a promising therapeutic strategy for managing congenital thrombocytopenia linked to GNE mutations.

Interim Analysis of Treatment Satisfaction from a Prospective Phase 4 Study in Adult Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) Subjects after Switching from Eltrombopag or Romiplostim to Avatrombopag (SDCC - Halls G-H) - Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_5370; P4 Despite high patient satisfaction scores at BL from prior therapy (ELT or ROMI), patients reported higher satisfaction following a switch to AVA across all domains of the TSQM (effectiveness, side effects, convenience, and global satisfaction) over 90 days. In a population of patients who were generally responding to TPO-RAs prior to a switch to AVA, mean/median PCs were also either improved or maintained with AVA treatment for the duration of the study (reported in a separate abstract submission), suggesting that some patients may experience sustained effectiveness paired with enhanced overall treatment satisfaction when switching from ELT or ROMI.

Outcome of Infants Treated on Total Therapy for Infants with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia I: Results from a Non-Randomized Multi-Center Study (Grand Hyatt - Grand Hall C) - Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_4974; P1/2 In this study, bortezomib and vorinostat were incorporated into an ALL chemotherapy backbone containing dexamethasone, mitoxantrone, and pegasparaginase during induction and reinduction chemotherapy cycles...Following induction intensification with cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, and mercaptopurine, 77% and 66% of all patients and KMT2Ar patients respectively were MRD negative at the time of count recovery...Although the study was not powered to evaluate outcomes, EFS and OS in KMT2Ar patients suggest a clinical signal worth pursuing given the low proportion of patients transplanted in first remission. The successor study, TINI 2 (NCT05848687), will build upon the bortezomib/vorinostat backbone by incorporating 2 cycles of blinatumomab and the menin inhibitor ziftomenib in combination with chemotherapy during reinduction.

Impact of Romiplostim on Overall Survival in Chemotherapy Induced Thrombocytopenia (SDCC - Room 25) - Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_4948; CONCLUSION In this retrospective exact-matched cohort analysis of patients treated with romiplostim for CIT, survival was inferior compared to patients receiving G-CSF alone. We acknowledge the limitations of single-center retrospective cohort analysis, but these findings highlight the urgent need to establish clinical benefit of thrombopoietin receptor agonists in the management of CIT.

Evaluating Blinatumomab Treatment Adoption in Varied Resource Settings Using the RE-AIM Framework (SDCC - Halls G-H) - Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_4670; Conclusion Successful implementation and collaboration with local multidisciplinary teams is a critical predecessor to establishing effectiveness and improving future global access to complex, novel therapies such as blinatumomab. Systematic application of established implementation measures, such as RE-AIM, can improve reporting of rich implementation data and inform strategies to improve the long-term adoption and maintenance of these effective therapies in the real world.

Second, we show that IL-10 levels have a differential impact on IFN?

(SDCC - Halls G-H) - Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_3829; Eight doses of rituximab 375mg/m 2 were given on D1, 8 of C1-4 if CD20 was =20% by flow cytometry...Ursodeoxycholic acid was given to all patients...Maintenance was initially with vincristine 2mg D1, prednisolone 50mg daily D1-5, 6-mercaptopurine 50mg BID & MTX 10mg/m 2 weekly (POMP) for three years...Conclusion Older patients with ND Ph-negative ALL treated with mHCVD plus InO, with or without blina had excellent response rates and deep remissions. However, further adjustment of the regimen is needed, especially in patients =70 years.

Mini-Hyper-CVD Plus Venetoclax for Treatment of Older Adults with Newly Diagnosed Ph-Negative B-ALL or T-ALL (SDCC - Halls G-H) - Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_3826; P1/2 We hypothesized that VEN plus dose-reduced hyper-CVD (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, dexamethasone) chemotherapy would be well tolerated and effective in older pts...Eight B-ALL pts had received prior chemotherapy for multiple myeloma (n=6; n=4 auto HSCT, n=5 lenalidomide), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n=1, RCHOP), and breast cancer (n=1, docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab)...Conclusion In this ongoing study, the addition of VEN to hyper-CVD in newly diagnosed ALL was well tolerated with encouraging responses. A future amendment will incorporate blinatumomab consolidation for pts with B-ALL.

Furthermore, the results are promising and support further mechanistic and clinical studies to elucidate the therapeutic role for sevuparin as a treatment in anemia of inflammatory and/or chronic diseases in monotherapy or in combination with EPO and to explore its role in kidney protection.

In-Depth Immune Profiling in Children with BCP-ALL within the AIEOP-BFM ALL 2017 Study (Grand Hyatt - Grand Hall D) - Nov 3, 2023 - Abstract #ASH2023ASH_3274; The international multicenter frontline therapy trial AIEOP-BFM ALL 2017 prospectively randomizes CD19-targeting T-cell engager blinatumomab (BLN) against standard of care (SOC) to improve outcomes in pediatric patients (pts) with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) stratified for high (HR) and medium (MR) risks of relapse...Here, we report until know undescribed effect of BLN on T-cell compartment. Upcoming clinical data, which will be correlated with obtained immune profiles will answer the open question regarding the clinical relevance of these findings, and shed light into the mechanisms determining response to BLN, for its maximum benefit in childhood ALL.
