Introduction

Relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R ALL) remains a major therapeutic challenge with poor long-term survival outcomes. Although checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1/PD-L1 have shown efficacy in other hematologic malignancies, their role in ALL has not been fully defined. Combination strategies integrating PD-1/PD-L1 blockade with chemotherapy or CAR-T cells may enhance anti-leukemic responses and overcome immune resistance.

Methods

In this multicenter, open-label Phase II trial, 168 patients with R/R ALL were randomized to receive either FLAG chemotherapy plus nivolumab (Group A), CD19-directed CAR-T cells plus atezolizumab (Group B), or FLAG alone (Control). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary outcomes included overall survival (OS), MRD negativity, and safety. Immune profiling assessed biomarkers like PD-L1, TIM-3, CD25 + , and cytokines.

Results

MRD negativity rates were significantly higher in experimental arms compared to control (Group A: 19.5 %; Group B: 27.8 %; Control: 3 %; p < 0.001). Median PFS was 7.7 months in Group A, 11.7 months in Group B, and 4.1 months in the control group (p < 0.001). Median OS was 10.75, 13.5, and 5.65 months, respectively (p < 0.001). Higher baseline PD-L1 expression was independently associated with improved survival (HR 0.90 per 10 % increase; p = 0.002). The addition of checkpoint inhibitors did not significantly increase severe toxicities, and infection rates were lower in experimental groups compared to control. The swimmer plot analysis demonstrated prolonged remission in MRD-negative patients.

Conclusion

Adding PD-1 or PD-L1 blockade to either chemotherapy or CAR-T therapy improved clinical outcomes without excess toxicity in R/R ALL.

复发或难治性急性淋巴细胞白血病（R/R ALL）仍然是一个主要的治疗挑战，长期生存结果不佳。虽然靶向PD-1/PD-L1的检查点抑制剂在其他血液系统恶性肿瘤中显示出疗效，但它们在ALL中的作用尚未完全确定。将PD-1/PD-L1阻断与化疗或CAR-T细胞结合的联合策略可能增强抗白血病反应并克服免疫抵抗。方法在这项多中心、开放标签的II期临床试验中，168例R/R ALL患者随机接受FLAG化疗+纳武单抗（A组）、cd19靶向CAR-T细胞+阿特唑单抗（B组）或FLAG单独（对照组）。主要终点是无进展生存期（PFS）；次要结局包括总生存期（OS）、MRD阴性和安全性。免疫谱分析评估生物标志物，如PD-L1， TIM-3， CD25 + 和细胞因子。结果实验组smrd阴性率显著高于对照组（A组：19.5 %；B组：27.8 %；对照组：3 %；p <； 0.001）。A组的中位PFS为7.7个月，B组为11.7个月，对照组为4.1个月（p <； 0.001）。中位OS分别为10.75、13.5和5.65个月（p <； 0.001）。较高的基线PD-L1表达与生存率的提高独立相关（HR 0.90 / 10 %增加；p = 0.002）。添加检查点抑制剂并没有显著增加严重毒性，实验组的感染率比对照组低。游泳者图分析显示mrd阴性患者缓解时间延长。结论在化疗或CAR-T治疗中加入PD-1或PD-L1阻断剂可改善R/R ALL的临床结果，且无过量毒性。

While tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can effectively counteract BCR::ABL1 activity, resistance by BCR::ABL1 overexpression is a significant challenge in combating chronic myeloid leukemia, making down-regulation of BCR::ABL1 a promising anti-cancer strategy. We previously reported that the ubiquitin ligases c-Cbl and CHIP mediate BCR::ABL1 protein degradation. Bag1, a nucleotide exchange factor for Hsc70, senses immature structures of Hsp90-unchaperoned BCR::ABL1 protein and stimulates CHIP-induced BCR::ABL1 degradation. Peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) have been shown to regulate protein conformations for stability and degradation, while nothing is known about the PPIases for BCR::ABL1. Here we identified the parvulin-type Pin1 as a new regulatory component of BCR::ABL1 degradation system. Among several PPIases tested, we found that Pin1 specifically binds to BCR::ABL1 protein for degradation. Using a series of BCR::ABL1 mutants, we identified the SH2-binding domain of BCR portion as the Pin1 binding region. The Pin1 WW domain appears to associate with the one or more S/T-Pro motif(s) in the SH2 binding region of BCR::ABL1. Pin1 stimulates not only Hsp90 inhibitor- but also PP2A-induced protein degradation. We also found that Pin1 effectively inhibited TKI-induced BCR::ABL1 stabilization. Pin1 may convert the mature form BCR::ABL1 to an immature form for Bag1 recognition leading to CHIP-mediated ubiquitination and degradation. These findings may lead to provide a molecular basis for the development of new Pin1 related therapeutic strategies against TKI resistance.

虽然酪氨酸激酶抑制剂（TKIs）可以有效地抑制BCR::ABL1活性，但BCR::ABL1过表达的耐药性是治疗慢性髓系白血病的一个重大挑战，这使得下调BCR::ABL1成为一种有希望的抗癌策略。我们之前报道过泛素连接酶c-Cbl和CHIP介导BCR::ABL1蛋白降解。Bag1是Hsc70的核苷酸交换因子，可感知hsp90无伴侣BCR::ABL1蛋白的未成熟结构，并刺激chip诱导的BCR::ABL1降解。肽基脯氨酸顺式/反式异构酶（PPIases）已被证明可以调节蛋白质构象的稳定性和降解，而对于BCR::ABL1的PPIases则一无所知。在这里，我们发现parvulin型Pin1是BCR::ABL1降解系统的一个新的调控成分。在测试的几种PPIases中，我们发现Pin1特异性地结合BCR::ABL1蛋白进行降解。利用一系列BCR::ABL1突变体，我们确定了BCR部分的sh2结合域为Pin1结合区。Pin1 WW结构域似乎与BCR::ABL1 SH2结合区的一个或多个S/T-Pro基序相关。Pin1不仅刺激Hsp90抑制剂，还刺激pp2a诱导的蛋白降解。我们还发现Pin1有效抑制tki诱导的BCR::ABL1稳定。Pin1可能将成熟形式的BCR::ABL1转化为不成熟形式的Bag1识别，导致chip介导的泛素化和降解。这些发现可能为开发新的与Pin1相关的抗TKI耐药治疗策略提供分子基础。

We compared outcomes of patients ≥ 70 years old undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) with graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis regimens either including post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) or without cyclophosphamide (non-Cy). The primary endpoint was GvHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) at one and five years; secondary endpoints included clinically significant acute (grade III-IV) and chronic (extensive) GvHD, relapse, overall survival (OS), and non-relapse mortality (NRM). Among 61 patients, 41 received PTCy and 20 received non-Cy prophylaxis. Unrelated donors accounted for 80 % of allografts; all non-Cy patients had 10/10 HLA matches, while PTCy patients had 64 % matched, 29 % haploidentical, and 7 % mismatched unrelated donors. Acute GvHD occurred in 5 % of PTCy vs 15 % of non-Cy patients (p = ns). One-year chronic GvHD incidence was lower with PTCy (12 % vs 30 %, p = 0.03). One-year GRFS was similar (34 % PTCy, 35 % non-Cy; p = ns). At five years, OS was 20 % vs 30 % and GRFS 21 % vs 15 % for PTCy and non-Cy, respectively (p = ns). We observed similar outcomes among patients receiving GvHD prophylaxis with PTCy compared to non-Cy. Importantly, non-Cy patients had HLA-matched donors, whereas mismatched donors were possible for the PTCy group. In this way, PTCy seems to have equalized outcomes for fully matched and mismatched alloSCT by yielding similar one and five-year GRFS. We also found no significant difference in relapse rate, NRM, OS, and five-year GRFS between patients aged 70–74 and ages 75 + , showing that numerical age should not be a contraindication to alloSCT.

我们比较了≥ 70岁接受同种异体干细胞移植（alloSCT）的移植物抗宿主病（GvHD）预防方案包括移植后环磷酰胺（PTCy）或不含环磷酰胺（非cy）的患者的结果。主要终点是1年和5年无gvhd、无复发生存期（GRFS）；次要终点包括临床显著的急性（III-IV级）和慢性（广泛）GvHD、复发、总生存期（OS）和非复发死亡率（NRM）。61例患者中，41例接受PTCy治疗，20例接受非cy预防治疗。非亲属供体占同种异体移植的80% %；所有非cy患者有10/10的HLA匹配，而PTCy患者有64 %匹配，29 %单倍体相同，7 %不匹配的非亲属供体。急性GvHD发生在5 %的PTCy患者vs 15 %的非cy患者（p = ns）。PTCy组一年慢性GvHD发病率较低（12 % vs 30 %,p = 0.03）。1年GRFS相似（34 % PTCy， 35 %非cy； p = ns）。5年时，PTCy和非cy患者的OS分别为20 %和30 %，GRFS分别为21 %和15 % （p = ns）。我们观察到，在接受PTCy预防GvHD的患者中，与不接受PTCy的患者相比，结果相似。重要的是，非cy患者有hla匹配的供体，而PTCy组可能存在不匹配的供体。通过这种方式，PTCy似乎通过产生相似的1年和5年GRFS，使完全匹配和不匹配的同种异体移植的结果相等。我们还发现70-74岁和75岁患者的复发率、NRM、OS和5年GRFS无显著差异 + ，表明数字年龄不应成为同种异体移植的禁忌症。

Voriconazole has been a standard antifungal prophylactic (AFP) agent for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) during neutropenia. However, its use is complicated by side-effects including transaminase elevations, visual disturbances, and significant drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Isavuconazole is an AFP agent with a more attractive side-effect profile. In a retrospective analysis we compared rates of complications necessitating AFP withdrawal between patients with AML who initially started on isavuconazole (n = 63) or voriconazole (n = 215), and of invasive fungal infection (IFI) and median overall survival (OS) between patients who used only isavuconazole (n = 41) or voriconazole (n = 90). Voriconazole was associated with higher rates of AFP discontinuation due to transaminase elevations (p = 0.019), visual disturbances (p = 0.002), or DDIs (p = 0.002), while isavuconazole was more frequently discontinued due to coverage denial/high cost (p < 0.0001). Rates/classification of IFI, breakthrough IFI (bIFI) and IFI-free survival (IFI-FS) were comparable between azoles in both analyses. Isavuconazole is an effective AFP agent with a superior side-effect profile and should thus be considered as a promising AFP option for patients with AML.

伏立康唑一直是中性粒细胞减少期间急性髓性白血病（AML）患者的标准抗真菌预防（AFP）药物。然而，它的使用是复杂的副作用，包括转氨酶升高，视力障碍，和显著的药物-药物相互作用（ddi）。Isavuconazole是一种AFP药物，副作用更明显。在一项回顾性分析中，我们比较了最初开始使用isavuconazole （n = 63）或voriconazole （n = 215）的AML患者需要停用AFP的并发症发生率，以及仅使用isavuconazole （n = 41）或voriconazole （n = 90）患者的侵袭性真菌感染（IFI）和中位总生存期（OS）。由于转氨酶升高（p = 0.019）、视力障碍（p = 0.002）或ddi (p = 0.002)，Voriconazole与较高的AFP停药率相关，而isavuconazole则因拒绝覆盖/高成本而更频繁地停药(p

Neutropenic enterocolitis (NE) is an uncommon but serious complication in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), often arising during periods of myelosuppression. Although recognized clinically, its broader impact on hospitalization outcomes and healthcare utilization in AML is poorly defined. To evaluate the association between NE and key inpatient outcomes, including in-hospital mortality, length of stay (LOS), and total hospital charges among patients with AML, this retrospective cross-sectional analysis was performed using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2018 to 2022. Multivariable models were fitted using survey-weighted logistic regression for mortality and Poisson regression with a log link for LOS and charges, adjusting for demographic and clinical covariates to calculate adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and adjusted incidence rate ratios (aIRRs), with corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). Among an estimated 344,545 AML hospitalizations, 3865 involved NE, which were associated with significantly longer hospitalizations and higher costs. In adjusted models, NE increased LOS by nearly 50 % (aIRR: 1.47, 95 % CI: 1.41–1.54) and total charges by over 40 % (aIRR: 1.44, 95 % CI: 1.35–1.53), with both associations being highly significant (p < 0.0001). In contrast, NE was not independently associated with in-hospital mortality (aOR: 0.89, 95 % CI: 0.75–1.06; p = 0.20). This study's findings indicate that, though NE was not a predictor of mortality, it is a strong driver of healthcare utilization in patients hospitalized with AML. These findings underscore NE’s importance as a complication with major clinical and economic implications, highlighting the need for strategies to improve recognition and management in this vulnerable population.

中性粒细胞减少性小肠结肠炎（NE）是急性髓性白血病（AML）患者中一种罕见但严重的并发症，通常发生在骨髓抑制期间。虽然在临床上得到认可，但其对急性髓性白血病住院治疗结果和医疗保健利用的广泛影响尚不明确。为了评估NE与AML患者主要住院结局（包括住院死亡率、住院时间（LOS）和医院总收费）之间的关系，本研究使用2018年至2022年全国住院患者样本（NIS）进行了回顾性横断面分析。采用调查加权logistic回归拟合死亡率和泊松回归，对LOS和收费进行对数关联，调整人口统计学和临床协变量，计算调整优势比（aORs）和调整发病率比（aIRRs），相应的置信区间为95% % （ci）。在估计的344,545例急性髓性白血病住院中，3865例涉及NE，这与住院时间明显延长和费用较高相关。在调整后的模型中，NE使LOS增加了近50% % (aIRR: 1.47, 95 % CI: 1.41-1.54)，总收费增加了超过40% % (aIRR: 1.44, 95 % CI: 1.35-1.53)，两者的相关性都非常显著（p <； 0.0001）。相反，NE与住院死亡率没有独立相关性（aOR: 0.89, 95 % CI: 0.75-1.06; p = 0.20）。本研究的结果表明，虽然NE不是死亡率的预测因子，但它是急性髓性白血病住院患者医疗保健利用的强大驱动因素。这些发现强调了NE作为一种具有重大临床和经济意义的并发症的重要性，强调了在这一弱势群体中提高认识和管理策略的必要性。

Richter transformation (RT) represents the development of an aggressive lymphoma in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Patients with RT and relapsed CLL have poor outcomes. Yet, the molecular differences between the two entities have not been fully explored. In this pilot study, we conducted RNA-seq and targeted panel sequencing of nodal tissues from 12 patients, including seven with RT and five with CLL. Analysis of RNA-seq data revealed two major clusters, with five RT in cluster C1 and the remaining two RT and all five CLL in C2. Within C2, one of the CLL ultimately developed RT; it showed more similarity to the two RT than to the other CLL in expression profile, suggesting the presence of expression signature for RT prior to the clinical diagnosis. In addition, differentially expressed genes, the majority of which showed higher expression in C1 relative to C2, were enriched in pathways known to be important for CLL pathogenesis or transformation. Deconvolution of the bulk RNA-seq data revealed major differences in cellular composition between the two clusters, notably tumor B cells, macrophages M1, and CD8 + T cells. Furthermore, by targeted sequencing, we identified 51 genes that carried recurrent copy number alterations (CNAs) preferentially occurring in either cluster. Over 80 % of these CNAs occurred in C2, mainly gains of 17q12q25 in CLL. Patients in C1 had shorter overall survival (median 11 months) compared to those in C2 (median 36 months). Together, our findings highlight noticeable differences in transcriptomic and genomic alterations between CLL versus RT.

里希特转化（RT）代表慢性淋巴细胞白血病（CLL）侵袭性淋巴瘤的发展。放疗和复发的CLL患者预后较差。然而，这两种实体之间的分子差异尚未得到充分探讨。在这项初步研究中，我们对12名患者的淋巴结组织进行了RNA-seq和靶向小组测序，其中包括7名RT患者和5名CLL患者。RNA-seq数据分析显示两个主要集群，C1集群中有5个RT， C2集群中其余2个RT和所有5个CLL。在C2内部，一个CLL最终开发了RT；在表达谱上，它与两种RT比与其他CLL更相似，表明在临床诊断之前存在RT的表达特征。此外，差异表达的基因，其中大多数在C1中相对于C2表达更高，在已知的CLL发病或转化的重要途径中富集。大量RNA-seq数据的反褶积揭示了两个集群之间细胞组成的主要差异，特别是肿瘤B细胞，巨噬细胞M1和CD8 + T细胞。此外，通过靶向测序，我们确定了51个基因携带复发性拷贝数改变（CNAs），优先发生在两个集群中。超过80% %的CNAs发生在C2，主要是CLL中17q12q25的增加。C1组患者的总生存期（中位11个月）短于C2组（中位36个月）。总之，我们的研究结果突出了CLL与RT之间转录组学和基因组改变的显著差异。

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) provides curative outcomes for chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). We conducted a retrospective study to clarify the protective impact of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD and cGVHD) on relapse by transplant procedures in 314 CMML patients. Interaction effects of conditioning intensity were observed with aGVHD (P_interaction=0.181) and cGVHD (P_interaction=0.256) for the cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), whereas interaction effects of donor type were not detected with GVHD. In patients with the myeloablative conditioning regimens, the multivariate analysis showed that the development of aGVHD was not associated with overall survival (OS). The development of limited cGVHD correlated with better OS (HR [95 % CI], 0.34 [0.14–0.81]; P = 0.015); and that of extensive cGVHD correlated with better OS (HR, 0.44 [0.21–0.91]; P = 0.026) and lower CIR (HR, 0.28 [0.08–0.94]; P = 0.040). In patients with the reduced-intensity conditioning regimens, the development of grade I-II aGVHD correlated with better OS (HR, 0.39 [0.20–0.76]; P = 0.005) and lower CIR (HR, 0.30 [0.13–0.70]; P = 0.006). The development of extensive cGVHD correlated with better OS (HR, 0.44 [0.20–0.96]; P = 0.039). The present results suggest that the type and severity of GVHD mediating graft-versus-leukemia effects against relapse were influenced by conditioning intensity in CMML patients.

同种异体造血干细胞移植（alloo - hsct）为慢性髓细胞白血病（CMML）提供了治疗效果。我们进行了一项回顾性研究，以阐明急性和慢性移植物抗宿主病（aGVHD和cGVHD）对314例CMML患者移植手术复发的保护作用。调节强度与aGVHD （Pinteraction=0.181）和cGVHD （Pinteraction=0.256）对累积复发率（CIR）的交互作用，而供体类型与GVHD的交互作用未检测到。在接受清髓调节方案的患者中，多因素分析显示，aGVHD的发展与总生存期（OS）无关。局限性cGVHD的发展与较好的OS相关（HR[95 % CI], 0.34 [0.14-0.81]; P = 0.015）；广泛cGVHD与较好的OS （HR, 0.44 [0.21-0.91]; P = 0.026）和较低的CIR （HR, 0.28 [0.08-0.94]; P = 0.040）相关。在低强度调节方案的患者中，I-II级aGVHD的发展与更好的OS （HR, 0.39 [0.20-0.76]; P = 0.005）和更低的CIR （HR, 0.30 [0.13-0.70]; P = 0.006）相关。广泛cGVHD的发展与较好的OS相关（HR, 0.44 [0.20-0.96]; P = 0.039）。目前的结果表明，GVHD介导的移植物抗白血病复发效应的类型和严重程度受CMML患者调节强度的影响。
