- |||||||||| Impact of Pre-Existing Mental Health Disorders (MHD) on CAR T-Cell Therapy Outcomes in Patients with Large B-Cell Lymphoma (Halls G-H (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_3035;
380 (86%) received axicabtagene ciloleucel, 42 (10%) received lisocabtagene maraleucel, 19 (4%) received tisagenlecleucel...Patients with MHD had a higher incidence of grade ?3 CRS (19% vs. 9.4%, p=0.0040) and grade ?3 ICANS (51% vs. 26%, p<0.0001), as well as higher use of anakinra (14% vs. 5%, p=0.0019) and corticosteroids (65% vs. 46%, p=0.0001) for CAR-T related toxicity...This data supports access to CAR-T for patients with MHD and underscore the need for integrated psychiatric care and close monitoring to reduce adverse events. Future research should assess if targeted interventions can mitigate CAR-T related toxicity in patients with MHD.

Steroid Prophylaxis in Patients Receiving CAR T-Cell Therapy for Relapsed and Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (Halls G-H (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_3034; Data from this single-institution experience suggest the use of prophylactic steroids accompanying CART during treatment of R/R NHL may delay onset of CRS without adversely affecting overall clinical outcomes. Larger cohort studies and/or randomized control trials will be required to confirm these findings.

WUN101-01: First in Human Human (FIH) Phase 1 Study of WU-NK-101 (W-NK1) in Patients with Relapsed or Refractory (R/R) Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) (Halls G-H (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_3001; P1 Cytokine Release Syndrome was reported in 4 (44.4%) pts, all G1, typically occurring the day of first or second infusion, a median duration of 2 days, and managed to complete resolution with antipyretics +/- tocilizumab...Overall, W-NK1 has demonstrated a tolerable and manageable safety profile with preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity. Furthermore, our study highlights the evolution, expansion, and persistence of W-NK1 in patients with AML, suggesting W-NK1 as a best-in-class NK cell therapy.

Tagraxofusp Achieves Anti-Tumor Activity with Rapid Restoration of Normal Hematopoiesis in Treatment-Na (Halls G-H (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_2882; P1/2 Conclusions As demonstrated previously, TAG offers rapid and durable responses in front-line treated BPDCN patients. The observed safety profile, lack of cumulative myelosuppression, and restoration of normal hematopoiesis with TAG treatment support the efficacy and tolerability of TAG as monotherapy for BPDCN and makes TAG a safe and promising combination partner for treatment of other CD123+ hematologic malignancies.

Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm (BPDCN) International Registry: Tagraxofusp Cohort Treatment Results (Halls G-H (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_2842; This therapy is currently only available in selected countries and only 3 out of the 13 countries participating in this registry reported its use. The treatment strategy of BPDCN should be a total therapy approach incorporating novel agents like tagraxofusp with intrathecal chemotherapy and allo-SCT to prevent the relapse.

Romidepsin, Azacitidine, Dexamethasone, and Lenalidomide (RAdR) for Relapsed/Refractory T-Cell Lymphoma (Pacific Ballroom Salons 15-17 (Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_2462; P1 Multiagent targeted therapy with RAdR is safe in r/r TCL and induces a high rate of response, particularly at the MTD, but durable complete responses are uncommon without consolidation. The four-drug regimen is active across the diverse spectrum of TCL subtypes and may be an effective therapeutic bridge to transplantation.

A Novel Small Molecule Drug-Based Approach for Treating Beta-Globinopathies (Room 31 (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_2411; Synergistic effects with Decitabine were notable, showing a 4-fold increase in mRNA expression compared to SH6 alone and a 9-fold increase compared to Decitabine alone. Additionally, SH6 demonstrated the unique ability to reactivate more "primitive" forms of globins, epsilon and zeta globins, suggesting potential relevance for treating both alpha and beta thalassemia.

Burden of Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease (iMCD) in the US: A Population-Level Real World Analysis Using a Health-Claims Dataset (Room 6B (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_2356; Larger randomized studies are needed to confirm and expand on our results. Results from this analysis reveal 1) a discordance in the number of iMCD cases identified using different approaches, supporting the notion that using a health-claims dataset to study the epidemiology of iMCD is challenging, 2) an algorithm relying on use of the CD-specific ICD-10 code in conjunction with the minor criteria consistent with international diagnostic guidelines2 and exclusion of CD mimics likely provides the most accurate pool of iMCD patients, 3) siltuximab use was dismally low at 22%, indicating high unmet treatment need and 4) the use of a non-FDA approved therapy rituximab was observed in 16%, indicating divergence from clinical guidelines in routine clinical practice.

Impact of Thrombosis and Bleeding on Survival of Older People with Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS): A Population Analysis (Room 6CF (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_2350; While this could be due baseline differences in comorbidity and MDS risk, it could also result from the consequences of bleeding versus VTE on clinical management, with bleeding events more significantly impacting use of disease-modifying therapy such as HMA. We identified risk factors for VTE and bleeding, which may help refine risk assessment and potentially preventing these adverse events.

Thus, CAR may be able to overcome the historically poor prognosis associated with conventional therapies for tiNHL.

This suggests a clinically significant improvement in overall survival and emphasises the importance of early combination of PI and IMID therapy rather than a response adapted approach, with particular benefit in patients with aggressive disease defined as HiR or UHiR.

653. Multiple Myeloma: Clinical and Epidemiological: Advancing Minimal Residual Disease (MRD): Detection, Impact on Prognosis and Treatment Decisions (San Diego Ballroom AB (Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_2134; In addition, the session also examines the clinical significance of peripheral residual disease beyond conventional MRD measurements in the bone marrow; the use of single-cell whole-genome sequencing to study circulating tumor cells in relapsed/refractory MM, and the utility of soluble B-cell maturation antigen levels for monitoring disease in oligo- and non-secretory MM. Collectively, these studies highlight advancements in understanding MRD and its potential as a key marker for guiding treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes in multiple myeloma.
