CD8-Depleted Donor Lymphocyte Infusions Convert Mixed into Complete Donor T-Cell Chimerism after T-Cell Depleted Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation.
2008
Abstract Donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) are increasingly used to treat minimal residual disease or mixed hematopoietic donor-recipient chimerism in T-cell depleted allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). In addition, several clinical trials currently investigate the prophylactic application of DLI to promote donor T-cell reconstitution after transplantation. However, DLI carry a substantial risk of inducing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). We investigate DLI heavily depleted of CD8 T cells using a clinical grade immunomagnetic in vitro procedure in an ongoing clinical study [Meyer et al., Blood2007, 109:374]. These DLI are administered in a prophylactic setting to patients with hemat…

Residual Abdominal Lymphadenopathy after Intensive Frontline Chemoimmunotherapy Is Associated with Inferior Outcome Regardless of MRD Status in Advan…
2018
Abstract Introduction: In CLL, chemoimmunotherapies (CIT) and combinations with novel agents have proven to be highly effective with regard to eradication of minimal residual disease (MRD), while complete remissions (CR) are frequently not achieved due to residual lymphadenopathy. We have previously reported that minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity after CIT is a prognostic factor irrespective of the clinical response (Kovacs et al., JCO 2016). Because inferior outcome was observed in small subgroups of patients (pts) with residual lymphadenopathy, we analyzed the prognostic value of residual lymphadenopathy after CIT in comparison to MRD detection in a larger pt population. Methods: …
R-CVP versus R-CHOP versus R-FM as first-line therapy for advanced-stage follicular lymphoma: Final results of FOLL05 trial from the Fondazione Itali…
2012
8006 Background: The optimal chemotherapy regimen for patients with advanced, active follicular lymphoma (FL) has not been established yet. We conducted a randomized trial comparing R-CVP with R-CHOP and R-FM. Methods: Previously untreated patients with advanced FL were randomly assigned to receive 8 doses of rituximab associated to 8 cycles of CVP, or 6 cycles of CHOP or FM (fludarabine 25 mg/m2 day 1-3, mitoxantrone 10 mg/m2 day 1). No maintenance therapy was allowed. The principal study end point was Time to Treatment Failure (TTF). Events in TTF were failure of induction therapy, progressive or relapse disease and death from any causes. In order to show a hazard ratio between each expe…
Ofatumumab retreatment and maintenance in patients with fludarabine-refractory CLL.
2012
6584 Background: In Study 406, the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody ofatumumab (ofa), given as monotherapy over 6 months, showed 47% overall response rate (ORR) in patients (pts) with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) refractory to fludarabine and alemtuzumab (FA-ref), or to fludarabine with bulky (>5cm) lymphadenopathy (BF-ref). The effects of ofa retreatment (retx) and maintenance (mt) are unknown. Methods: Pts who responded to ofa and then progressed or had stable disease (SD) in Study 406, were offered retx in Study 416 (NCT00802737; GSK/Genmab) with ofa 1 x 300 mg + 7 x 2000 mg weekly followed by mt with ofa 2000 mg monthly for up to 2 years (if SD or better). Primary endpoint was OR…
Associations of ofatumumab exposure and treatment outcomes in patients with untreated CLL receiving chemoimmunotherapy
2016
Relationships between patient characteristics, ofatumumab pharmacokinetics, and treatment outcomes were investigated in this phase 2 trial of ofatumumab plus fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) in untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive 500 or 1000 mg ofatumumab (Cycle 1; 300 mg) plus FC every 4 weeks for six cycles. Median C(max) and C(trough) values were similar at Cycle 1 regardless of the ultimate clinical outcome. At later doses, these values were higher for patients with complete response (CR) than for other patients. Higher C(max) and C(trough) values at Cycles 3 and 6 were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of CR, whereas …
Prognostic role of human equilibrative transporter 1 (hENT1) in patients with resected gastric cancer.
2010
Nucleoside transporter proteins are specialized proteins that mediate the transport of nucleosides and nucleoside analog drugs across the plasma membrane. The human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1) is a member of these proteins and mediates cellular entry of gemcitabine, cytarabine, and fludarabine. The hENT1 expression has been demonstrated to be related with prognosis and activity of gemcitabine-based therapy in breast, ampullary, lung, and pancreatic cancer. We investigated the immunohistochemical expression of hENT in tumor samples from 111 patients with resected gastric adenocarcinoma, correlating these data with clinical parameters and disease outcomes. None of the patie…
Validation of the High-Risk Prognostic Score Defined By the Presence of Mutations in NRAS or TP53 in a Cohort of 497 Patients with Acute Myeloid Leuk…
2020
INTRODUCTION Older AML patients have a different mutational landscape compared to younger patients. The prognostic classification of AML proposed by the European Leukemia Net (2017) is based on the presence of mutations in FLT3 (ITD), NPM1, CEBPA, RUNX1, ASXL1 and TP53. However, our group has identified a high-risk prognostic score in older patients with AML, who are undergoing treatment with azacitidine or low-dose cytarabine plus fludarabine, which predict a shorter survival. OBJECTIVE Validation of the previously identified high-risk prognostic score, defined by the presence of mutations in NRAS or TP53, in 3 cohorts of patients with AML who have been studied by NGS with a custom panel i…
Fludarabine combined with radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced NSCLC lung carcinoma: a phase I study
2011
Abstract Background and purpose Fludarabine is an adenine nucleoside analogue that has significant activity in hematological malignancies and has shown promising activity in combination with radiation in preclinical solid tumor models. We designed a phase I trial exploring concurrent fludarabine and radiotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of fludarabine given with concurrent irradiation. Materials and methods Thirteen patients with stage IIIB NSCLC received thoracic irradiation of 60 Gy. Fludarabine was administered during the 5th and 6th week of radiotherapy. Doses started at 10 mg/m2 per day and increased by s…
Correlations Between Ofatumumab Exposure and Treatment Outcomes for patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Treated with Frontline Ofatumuma…

Abstract Abstract 1793 Introduction: Results: Seven pts (4 male) with a medianLittle is known about the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) with chemotherapy in patients (pts) with CLL. Ofatumumab (O) is a human mAb targeting a membrane-proximal small-loop epitope on CD20 and mediates efficient complement-dependent cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Safety and efficacy of O at 2 dose levels in combination with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) were evaluated in previously untreated pts with CLL. Relationship between O PK, baseline characteristics, and clinical outcomes were studied. Pts and Methods: Pts with active CL…
