Fix low dose venetoclax-azacitidine treatment of unfit acute myeloid leukemia patients.

The prognosis of elderly AML patients had not even been improved by using hypomethylating agents; however, synergistic effect of combining azacitidin with venetoclax had resulted in a remarkable therapeutic advance. Our goal was to study the latter treatment with a new dosing regimen in a retrospective/observational study. In our department, we analyzed the data of AML patients who were unfit for curative high-dose treatment and accepted the medication with a fixed-dose of azacitidin and venetoclax combination (AZA-VEN, 100 mg sc for 7 days-100 mg per os continuously).

A potentially new thromboembolic event scoring system in polycythaemia vera patients: An audit of the Hungarian Philadelphia negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasia register.

Objective: The Hungarian National Registry for Philadelphia chromosome negative myeloproliferative neoplasms was used to analyse the thromboembolic events (TE) of Hungarian patients with polycythemia vera (PV).

Methods: Data from 351 JAK2 V617F-positive patients diagnosed with PV were collected online from 15 haematology centres reporting clinical characteristics, therapeutic interventions and thromboembolic events. TE events were evaluated before and after diagnosis based upon the Landolfi and Tefferi risk assessment scales.

Landscape of Resistance Mutations in a Real-World Cohort of Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Treated with Venetoclax.

The oral, highly selective Bcl2 inhibitor venetoclax has substantially improved the therapeutic landscape of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Despite the remarkable response rates in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) disease, acquired resistance is the leading cause of treatment failure, with somatic mutations being the predominant genetic drivers underpinning venetoclax resistance. To assess the correlation between disease progression and the most common mutations G101V and D103Y, sensitive (10) screening for the most common mutations G101V and D103Y was performed in 67 R/R CLL patients during venetoclax single-agent or venetoclax-rituximab combination therapy.

Hemizygous nonsense variant in the moesin gene leads to a new autoimmune phenotype of Immunodeficiency 50.

Here, we present the findings of an investigation involving two male siblings with juvenile total tooth loss, early-onset chronic leg ulcers, and autoimmune thyroiditis, as well as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis with associated pulmonary emphysema in one and diabetes mellitus in the other. The clinical picture and lupus anticoagulant, cryoglobulin, and cold agglutinin positivity suggested the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome. Flow cytometry analysis showed immunophenotypes consistent with immune dysregulation: a low number of naive T cells, elevated CD4 T cell counts, and decreased CD8 T-cell counts were detected, and more than half of the T-helper population was activated.

The Association between Patient Characteristics and the Efficacy and Safety of Selinexor in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma in the SADAL Study.

Selinexor, an oral selective inhibitor of nuclear export, was evaluated in the Phase 2b SADAL study in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who previously received two to five prior systemic regimens. In post hoc analyses, we analyzed several categories of patient characteristics (age, renal function, DLBCL subtype, absolute lymphocyte count, transplant status, number of prior lines of therapy, refractory status, Ann Arbor disease stage, and lactate dehydrogenase) at baseline, i.e.

Acalabrutinib and its use in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors have changed the treatment landscape for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma dramatically. In 2019, acalabrutinib was approved by the US FDA for the treatment of treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory CLL and MCL. Acalabrutinib monotherapy was found to be effective and safe in CLL patients.

Effect of Prior Therapy and Disease Refractoriness on the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Selinexor in Patients with Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL): A Post-hoc Analysis of the SADAL Study.

Background: Despite a number of treatment options, patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) whose disease has become refractory to treatment have a poor prognosis. Selinexor is a novel, oral drug that is approved to treat patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL. In this post hoc analysis of the SADAL study, a multinational, open-label study, we evaluated subpopulations to determine if response to single agent selinexor is impacted by number of lines of prior treatment, autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT), response to first and most recent therapies, and time to progressive disease.

Comparison of the Effectiveness and Safety of the Oral Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export, Selinexor, in Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma Subtypes.

Background: The SADAL study evaluated oral selinexor in patients with relapsed and/or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapy. In this post-hoc analysis, we analyzed the outcomes of the SADAL study by DLBCL subtype to determine the effects of DLBCL subtypes on efficacy and tolerability of selinexor.

Patients And Methods: Data from 134 patients in SADAL were analyzed by DLBCL subtypes for overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), duration of treatment response, progression-free survival, and adverse events rate.

Screening and monitoring of the BTK mutation in a real-world cohort of patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia during ibrutinib therapy.

The Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib has revolutionised the therapeutic landscape of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). Acquired mutations emerging at position C481 in the BTK tyrosine kinase domain are the predominant genetic alterations associated with secondary ibrutinib resistance. To assess the correlation between disease progression, and the emergence and temporal dynamics of the most common resistance mutation BTK , sensitive (10 ) time-resolved screening was performed in 83 relapsed/refractory CLL patients during single-agent ibrutinib treatment.

Diagnostic pitfalls: intramyocardial lymphoma metastasis mimics acute coronary syndrome in a diffuse large B cell lymphoma patient-case report.

Background: Cardiac tumors are very uncommon compared to other cardiac diseases. Their clinical symptoms can vary from absent to non-specific. The most common symptoms are arrhythmias, blood flow obstruction due to valvular dysfunction, shortness of breath, systemic embolization, and accumulation of pericardial fluid.

Health-related quality of life and utility outcomes with selinexor in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and health utility impact of single-agent selinexor in heavily pretreated patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) - Lymphoma and EuroQoL five-dimensions five-levels data collected in the single-arm Phase IIb trial SADAL (NCT02227251) were analyzed with mixed-effects models. Treatment responders maintained higher FACT - Lymphoma (p ≤ 0.
