Analysis of relapse after transplantation in acute leukemia: A comparative on second allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation and donor lymphocy…
2018
Relapse of acute leukemia (AL) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (Allo-HCT) entails a dismal prognosis. In this scenario, donor lymphocyte infusions (DLIs) and second Allo-HCT are two major approaches. We compared outcomes of AL patients treated for relapse with DLI or second Allo-HCT after receiving debulking therapy. In total, 46 patients were included in the study; 30 (65%) had acute myeloid leukemia and 16 (35%) had acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The median age was 38 years (range 4-66). Twenty-seven patients received a second Allo-HCT and 19 patients received DLI. The median follow-up of the cohort was 273 days (range 9-7013). Overall survival (OS), disease-free surviv…

Bone marrowVEGFCexpression is associated with multilineage dysplasia and several prognostic markers in adult acute myeloid leukemia, but not with sur…
2018
Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) stimulates leukemia cell proliferation and survival, and promotes angiogenesis. We studied VEGFC expression in bone marrow samples from 353 adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients and its relationship with several clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular variables. We also studied the expression of 84 genes involved in VEGF signaling in 24 patients. We found that VEGFC expression was higher in AML patients with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC) than in patients with non-AML-MRC. We also found an association between VEGFC expression and the patient cytogenetic risk group, with those with a worse prognosis having higher VEGFC expression leve…
Acute myeloid leukemia with NPM1 mutation and favorable European LeukemiaNet category: outcome after preemptive intervention based on measurable resi…
2020
In the European LeukemiaNet favourable risk category, allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) is not indicated in first complete remission for patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) with NPM1 mutations (ELNfav NPM1 AML), although a proportion of these patients will relapse. Given the prognostic importance of measurable residual disease (MRD), CETLAM-12 considered a pre-emptive intervention in patients with molecular failure (MF). We analyzed 110 ELNfav NPM1 AML patients achieving complete remission (CR) after induction chemotherapy. Two-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), overall survival (OS) and leukaemia-free survival (LFS) were 17%, 81 center dot 5% an…
Long-term outcome of older patients with newly diagnosed de novo acute promyelocytic leukemia treated with ATRA plus anthracycline-based therapy
2018
Treatment outcome in older patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is lower compared with younger patients, mainly because of a higher induction death rate and postremission non-relapse mortality (NRM). This prompted us to design a risk-and age-adapted protocol (Programa Espanol de Tratamientos en Hematologia (PETHEMA)/HOVON LPA2005), with dose reduction of consolidation chemotherapy. Patients aged >= 60 years reported to the PETHEMA registry and were treated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) plus anthracycline-based regimens according to three consecutive PETHEMA trials that were included. We compared the long-term outcomes of the LPA2005 trial with the preceding PETHEMA tria…
Feasibility of thiotepa addition to the fludarabine-busulfan conditioning with tacrolimus/sirolimus as graft vs host disease prophylaxis.
2020
In classical reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens, including the fludarabine and busulphan (BF) combination, sirolimus and tacrolimus (SIR-TAC) as graft vs host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis has shown acceptable results. The outcomes of SIR-TAC in a more intense RIC regimen as Thiotepa-fludarabine-busulfan (TBF) have been hardly investigated. This retrospective study included all consecutive patients receiving an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for myeloid malignancies (January 2009-2017) conditioned with either TBF or BF and receiving SIR-TAC. Patients receiving TBF presented higher non-relapse mortality (31.6 vs 12.3%,p = .01), along with shorter overall survival …
Ex vivo T-cell depletion vs post-transplant cyclophosphamide, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil as graft-vs-host disease prophylaxis for allogenei…
2021
Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of CD34+ selected ex vivo T-cell depletion (TCD) vs post-transplant cyclophosphamide, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil (PTCy-Sir-MMF) as graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. Methods We retrospectively included patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) with either TCD (n = 38) or PTCy-Sir-MMF (n = 91). Results Cumulative incidence of neutrophil and platelet recovery was 92% vs 99% (P = .06) and 89% vs 97% (P = .3) in TCD and PTCy-Sir-MMF, respectively. Cumulative incidences of aGHVD grade II-IV, III-IV, and moderate to severe cGVHD were 11% vs 19% (P = .2), 3% vs 2% (P = .9), and 3% vs 36% (P < …
Mutational Profiling Predicts Clinical Outcomes to Azacytidine and Low Dose Cytarabine Plus Fludarabine (FLUGA) in Elderly Acute Myeloid Leukemia Pat…
2019
BACKGROUND: Older patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) who are unsuitable for standard induction therapy have limited treatment options. While DNMT3A, TET2, IDH1/2 and TP53 mutations have been previously associated to better response to hypomethylating agents, there are no molecular biomarkers for low-dose cytarabine (LDAC)-based regimens. AIMS: To predict outcome in AML older patients at diagnosis based on mutation status in the context of FLUGAZA trial. FLUGAZA trial was focus on >65 years AML de novo patients comparing azacytidine vs. fludarabine and LDAC (FLUGA Scheme). METHODS: We analyzed bone marrow (BM) samples at diagnosis from 209 out of 285 AML patients treated accordin…
Favorable Outcome in Patients with Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia (AML) with NPM1 Mutation Who Present an Inadequate Clearance or Relapse of Minimal/Mea…
2018
Abstract Introduction Patients diagnosed with AML with NPM1mutation (NPM1mut AML) included in the European LeukemiaNet favorable genetic risk category (ELNfav, i.e., without FLT3-ITD or with a low allelic burden FLT3-ITD comutation [FLT3-ITD/FLT3wt <0.5; FLT3-ITDLOW]) do not benefit from an allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) in first complete remission (CR1). However, a significant proportion of these patients fail to frontline chemotherapy and require salvage therapy. Persistence or detection of MRD after post-CR treatment is associated with a high relapse risk and worse prognosis. With this background, the cooperative group CETLAM proposed an early therapeutic intervention …

Clinical significance of complex karyotype at diagnosis in pediatric and adult patients with de novo acute promyelocytic leukemia treated with ATRA a…
2019
Although additional cytogenetic abnormalities (ACA) do not affect the prognosis of patients with t(15;17) acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), the role of a complex karyotype (CK) is yet to be clarified. We aimed to investigate the relationship of CK with relapse incidence in 1559 consecutive APL patients enrolled in three consecutive trials. Treatment consisted of AIDA induction followed by risk-adapted consolidation. A CK (CK) was defined as the presence of ≥2 ACA, and a very CK (CK+) as ≥3 ACA. Eighty-nine patients (8%) had a CK, of whom 41 (4%) had CK+. The 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) in patients with CK was 18%, and 12% in those with <2 ACA (p=.09). Among patients wi…
