Advances in replacement therapy with clotting factor (F) VIII or FIX product have contributed greatly to reducing the incidence of hemophilic arthropathy and improving quality of life (QOL) in patients with hemophilia. However, frequent intravenous administration of clotting factor products, blood access, and development of alloantibodies (inhibitors) have been important issues. Clinical studies aimed at addressing these issues have been conducted in Japan as well, including a multicenter study to determine factors involved in inhibitor development. Drug development has also progressed: several clotting factor products with extended half-life and non-clotting factor therapies have been introduced in quick succession. Anti-FIX/FX bispecific antibody in particular has a long half-life when administered subcutaneously and controls bleeding in patients with hemophilia A. Anti-antithrombin therapy and anti-TFPI monoclonal antibody products that work by rebalancing coagulation have also been developed. In addition, gene therapy has been approved for adults in U.S. and Europe, where improved vectors and codon optimization have enabled protein expression up to the near-therapeutic hemostatic range. Recent significant developments in hemophilia treatment are expected to overcome long-standing problems and further improve QOL.
凝血因子 (F) VIII 或 FIX 产品替代疗法的进步极大地降低了血友病关节病的发病率,改善了血友病患者的生活质量(QOL)。然而,频繁静脉注射凝血因子产品、血液获取和异体抗体(抑制剂)的产生一直是个重要问题。日本也开展了旨在解决这些问题的临床研究,包括一项确定抑制剂产生因素的多中心研究。药物开发也取得了进展:几种延长半衰期的凝血因子产品和非凝血因子疗法相继问世。抗 FIX/FX 双特异性抗体的皮下注射半衰期较长,可控制 A 型血友病患者的出血,抗抗凝血酶疗法和抗 TFPI 单克隆抗体产品也已开发出来,它们通过重新平衡凝血发挥作用。此外,基因疗法已在美国和欧洲获准用于成人患者,通过改进载体和优化密码子,使蛋白质表达量接近治疗止血范围。血友病治疗领域的最新重大进展有望克服长期存在的问题,进一步改善患者的生活质量。

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is an innovative treatment for B-cell malignancies and multiple myeloma. CAR T-cell therapy is now approved in Japan and has become one of the essential therapeutic options for chemotherapy-resistant disease. It has many unique features that distinguish it from conventional chemotherapies, including the limitations imposed by the production of CAR-T cells from autologous T cells, and the limited availability and mandatory waiting period for treatment. Importantly, each patient has only one opportunity to receive CAR T-cell therapy. To achieve the maximum therapeutic benefit from CAR T-cell therapy, it is necessary to understand all aspects of CAR T-cell therapy, including factors that influence its efficacy. The design of the entire treatment sequence, including before and after CAR T-cell therapy, is also important to optimize clinical outcomes. In addition, since this treatment is only available at a limited number of facilities, effective coordination between local hospitals and treatment centers is also important. This educational session will focus on the practical aspects of CAR T-cell therapy in adults and will provide indispensable knowledge for providing CAR T-cell therapy to patients with B-cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma.
嵌合抗原受体(CAR)T 细胞疗法是一种治疗 B 细胞恶性肿瘤和多发性骨髓瘤的创新疗法。CAR T 细胞疗法现已在日本获得批准,并已成为化疗耐药疾病的基本治疗方案之一。CAR T 细胞疗法与传统化疗相比有许多独特之处,包括从自体 T 细胞中提取 CAR T 细胞所带来的限制,以及治疗的有限性和强制等待期。重要的是,每位患者只有一次接受 CAR T 细胞治疗的机会。要想从 CAR T 细胞疗法中获得最大的治疗效果,就必须了解 CAR T 细胞疗法的方方面面,包括影响其疗效的因素。整个治疗序列(包括 CAR T 细胞疗法前后)的设计对于优化临床结果也很重要。此外,由于这种疗法只在有限的几家机构提供,当地医院和治疗中心之间的有效协调也很重要。本讲座将重点介绍成人 CAR T 细胞疗法的实际操作,为 B 细胞淋巴瘤和多发性骨髓瘤患者提供 CAR T 细胞疗法不可或缺的知识。

Immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), proteasome inhibitors (PIs), and anti-CD38 antibodies have been the three mainstays of myeloma treatment. B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted immunotherapy, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) and bispecific antibodies (BsAbs), is emerging as another important class of treatment. Two BCMA-targeting CAR-T products, idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) and ciltacabtagene autoleucel, are approved in Japan, but only ide-cel is available for clinical use. Recently, a randomized phase III study comparing ide-cel with standard therapy in patients with refractory myeloma who had received 2 to 4 prior lines of therapy showed that ide-cel was superior in terms of both response rate and PFS. Based on these results, ide-cel was approved as a third-line therapy. The new availability of bispecific antibodies has also raised new clinical questions regarding how to use CAR-T and BsAbs for each patient, and in what order. Limited data have suggested that favorable responses can be achieved when BsAbs are administered after CAR-T, but responses are suboptimal when CAR-T is administered after BsAbs. Finally, it is important to note that coordination between referring centers and treating centers, including aspects such as timing of patient referral, bridging therapy, and long-term follow-up after CAR-T, is critical to optimization of CAR-T.

An 80-year-old Japanese man presented with systemic lymphadenopathy, including the para-aortic area and left inguinal nodes, which was diagnosed as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and human herpesvirus (HHV) 8-positive/HIV-negative Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Immunohistochemical examination revealed that the lymphoma cells were negative for HHV-8. The patient received combined chemotherapy with rituximab, pirarubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisolone for six cycles and achieved complete remission. In the literature, five cases of simultaneous appearance of malignant lymphoma and KS in the same lymph node have been reported, but DLBCL as a histological subtype has not yet been reported.

A 47-year-old woman presented with subcutaneous hemorrhage. Blood tests revealed leukoerythroblastosis, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Bone marrow biopsy led to a diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis (aaDIPSS, DIPSS-plus: intermediate-II risk). JAK2, CALR, and MPL mutations were not detected in peripheral blood, but targeted sequencing of bone marrow specimens revealed a double mutation (Q157R, S34F) in U2AF1. Allo-PBSCT was performed using an HLA-matched related donor, and post-transplantation bone marrow examination showed complete donor chimerism on day 55. Two years after allogeneic transplantation, the patient remains relapse-free. Although U2AF1 gene abnormality is known as a poor prognostic factor in primary myelofibrosis, this patient had a favorable long-term prognosis due to prompt transplantation therapy. This case highlights the importance of detailed gene mutation analysis in patients with triple-negative MF.

Patient 1 was a 70-year-old woman with refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who received allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation from an HLA-haploidentical related donor. Upper back pain appeared on day63, and Th8-Th9 pyogenic spondylitis was diagnosed based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Blood culture on day14 identified Corynebacterium striatum as the causative bacteria of blood stream infection (BSI). The pyogenic spondylitis resolved after treatment with daptomycin for 2 months. Patient 2 was a 65-year-old man with relapsed angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma who received bone marrow transplantation from an HLA-DR single-antigen-mismatched unrelated donor. Lower back pain appeared on day30, and L4-L5 pyogenic spondylitis was diagnosed based on MRI. Blood culture was negative. Daptomycin and clindamycin were selected for treatment based on the drug susceptibility of bacteria that had caused pre-engraftment BSI (Escherichia coli on day3 and Corynebacterium striatum on day9), and the pyogenic spondylitis resolved after 6 months of this treatment. Pyogenic spondylitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of back pain accompanied by BSI before engraftment in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a refractory cancer that arises from hematopoietic stem cells and predominantly affects elderly adults. In addition to driver gene mutations, which are also found in clonal hematopoiesis in healthy elderly people, systemic inflammation caused by infection or collagen disease has long been known as an extracellular factor in the pathogenesis of MDS. Wild-type HSCs have an "innate immune memory" that functions in response to infection and inflammatory stress, and my colleagues and I used an infection stress model to demonstrate that the innate immune response by the TLR-TRIF-PLK-ELF1 pathway is similarly critical in impairment of hematopoiesis and dysregulation of chromatin in MDS stem cells. This revealed that not only are MDS stem cells expanded by the TRAF6-NF-kB pathway, the innate immune response is also involved in generating MDS stem cells. In this review, I will present research findings related to "innate immune memory," one of the pathogenic mechanisms of blood cancer, and discuss future directions for basic pathological research and potential therapeutic development.

Many novel agents have been developed for BCR::ABL1-negaive myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), namely, polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). Some of these agents not only achieve hematologic complete response, reduce spleen size, and alleviate constitutional symptoms, but also induce molecular response, which means that they reduce the allele burden of driver gene mutations. These agents also prevent and alleviate fibrosis in bone marrow, which reduces the incidence of thrombotic events and disease progression and might improve prognosis. This article discusses the latest findings and promising treatments, including ongoing clinical trials, in PV, ET, and PMF.
