- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Comparative Clinical Value of Pharmacologic Therapies for B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: An Umbrella Analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 13, 2022
In naïve patients, the PFS hazard ratios associated with four recent chemo-free therapies (obinutuzumab- and/or acalabrutinib-based) ranged from 0.11 to 0.61 versus current standard treatments (STs), without a significant OS advantage...In conclusion, last-generation therapies for CLL consistently increase PFS, but not OS, and minimally decrease safety, as compared with STs. Based on available evidence, the patient-customized adoption of new therapies, rather than universal recommendations, seems desirable in CLL patients.

Studies already performed with ofatumumab given in standard doses of 1,500 mg 1.73m suggest no superiority compared to rituximab in children and young adults with steroid dependent nephrotic syndrome...In the unique study performed in patients with multidrug dependent nephrotic syndrome reporting positive effects, obinutuzumab was associated with the anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody daratumumab proposing the unexplored frontier of combined therapies...Results of randomized trials, now in progress, are awaited to add new possibilities in those cases that are resistant to other drugs. The aim of the present review is to open a discussion among nephrologists, with the hope to achieve shared approaches in terms of type of antibodies and doses in the different proteinuric renal conditions.

However, over the last 5 years, adoptive immunotherapy with effector lymphocytes of B cell NHL has experienced tremendous growth, with five different CAR T cell products now licensed by the FDA, four of which target CD19 and have approved indications for some subtype of B cell NHL-axicabtagene ciloleucel, brexucabtagene autoleucel, lisocabtagene maraleucel, and tisagenlecleucel...This renewed interest in the potential of cellular immunity-and the manufacturing, supply chain, and administration logistics that have been addressed with these new agents-have ignited a new wave of enthusiasm for NK cell-directed therapies in NHL. With high safety profiles and proven anti-lymphoma efficacy, one or more new NK cell-directed modalities are certain to be introduced into the standard toolbox of NHL therapy within the next few years, be it function-enhancing cytokine muteins, multi-domain NK cell engagers, or adoptive therapy with expanded or genetically modified NK cells.

Our analysis shows that, as the treatment landscape for CLL has shifted, use of newer and novel agents as a first line or earlier in the relapsed/refractory setting has resulted in improved survival outcomes.

With effective approved options and new agents in development, the role of chemoimmunotherapy in the management of CLL has diminished.

The observed trend for improved overall survival in the BCL2/EZH2 group is consistent with the mechanism of action of venetoclax, suggesting that targeting sequencing and NMF has potential for identifying patients who are more likely to gain benefit from venetoclax therapy.

Journal, IO biomarker: In Silico Designed Gain-of-Function Variants of Complement C2 Support Cytocidal Activity of Anticancer Monoclonal Antibodies. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 11, 2022 Based on the homology between AP and CP components, we modified the CP component C2 so that it emulates the known pathogenic mutations in the AP component, factor B. By using tumor cell lines and patient-derived leukemic cells along with a set of clinically approved immunotherapeutics, we showed that the supplementation of serum with recombinant GoF C2 variants not only enhances the cytocidal effect of type I anti-CD20 mAbs rituximab and ofatumumab, but also lowers the threshold of mAbs necessary for the efficient lysis of tumor cells and efficiently exploits the leftovers of the drug accumulated in patients' sera after the previous infusion. Moreover, we demonstrate that GoF C2 acts in concert with other therapeutic mAbs, such as type II anti-CD20, anti-CD22, and anti-CD38 specimens, for overcoming cancer cells resistance to complement attack.
