Targeting Enterobacter cloacae attenuates osteolysis by reducing ammonium in multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM)-induced bone disease affects not only patients' quality of life but also their overall survival. Our previous work demonstrated that the gut microbiome plays a crucial role in MM progression and drug resistance. However, the role of altered gut microbiota in MM bone disease remains unclear.

A machine learning-based model to predict POD24 in follicular lymphoma: a study by the Chinese workshop on follicular lymphoma.

Background: Disease progression within 24 months (POD24) significantly impacts overall survival (OS) in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL). This study aimed to develop a robust predictive model, FLIPI-C, using a machine learning approach to identify FL patients at high risk of POD24.

Methods: A cohort of 1,938 FL patients (FL1-3a) from seventeen centers nationwide in China was randomly divided into training and internal validation sets (2:1 ratio).

Uncommon biphasic CAR-T expansion induces hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-like syndrome and fatal multiple infections following BCMA CAR-T cell therapy: a case report.

B-cell maturation antigen(BCMA)-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapy has significantly improved the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM). Nevertheless, the uncommon phenomenon of biphasic CAR-T cell expansion in vivo and its related severe toxicities have not been methodically described and studied. Herein, we report a case of patients with MM who experienced two CAR-T cell expansion peaks and subsequently developed multiple severe toxicities following BCMA CAR-T cell infusion.

Phase 1 study of isatuximab monotherapy in Chinese patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

In this multi-center, Phase-1 study (NCT03733717), we characterized the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the anti-CD38 antibody isatuximab (Isa) after IV administration (primary objective), and evaluated safety, immunogenicity, and preliminary anti-myeloma activity in Chinese patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Isa 20-mg/kg was administered weekly (QW) in cycle 1, then biweekly (Q2W). Twenty-one extensively pretreated RRMM patients (median 4 prior lines; 95.

Equecabtagene Autoleucel in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma: The FUMANBA-1 Nonrandomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Equecabtagene autoleucel (eque-cel), a fully human-derived B-cell maturation antigen-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, has exhibited potential for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), and further investigation in a larger cohort is necessary.

Objective: To evaluate whether eque-cel can benefit patients with RRMM and determine the overall response rate postinfusion.

Design, Setting, And Participants: The FUMANBA-1 trial was a single-arm, open-label, phase 1b/2 trial that evaluated eque-cel in adult patients with RRMM.

T(11;14) with multiple myeloma: Standard risk survival but slow and poor response.

We described 790 patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, including 224 (28.4%) standard risk (SR) patients without t(11;14), 99 (12.5%) patients with t(11;14)alone, 58 (7.

C-CAR066, a novel fully human anti-CD20 CAR-T therapy for relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after failure of anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy: A phase I clinical study.

Managing large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) that is refractory to or relapsed after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapy remains a significant challenge. Here we aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of C-CAR066, an autologous fully human anti-CD20 specific CAR-T, for relapsed/refractory LBCL after failure of anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy. This first-in-human, single-arm, phase 1 study was conducted at two sites in China.

Lymphoma cell-driven IL-16 is expressed in activated B-cell-like diffuse large Bcell lymphomas and regulates the pro-tumor microenvironment.

The activated B-cell-like subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL) displays a worse outcome than the germinal center B-cell-like subtype (GCB-DLBCL). Currently, targeting tumor microenvironment (TME) is the promising approach to cure DLBCL with profound molecular heterogeneity, however, the factors affecting the tumor-promoting TME of ABCDLBCL are elusive. Here, cytokine interleukin-16 (IL-16) is expressed in tumor cells of ABCDLBCL and secreted by the cleavage of active caspase-3.

Sustained benefit of zanubrutinib vs ibrutinib in patients with R/R CLL/SLL: final comparative analysis of ALPINE.

The ALPINE trial established the superiority of zanubrutinib over ibrutinib in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma; here, we present data from the final comparative analysis with extended follow-up. Overall, 652 patients received zanubrutinib (n = 327) or ibrutinib (n = 325). At an overall median follow-up of 42.

A Phase Ib Study of Linperlisib in the Treatment of Patients with Relapsed and/or Refractory Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma.

Purpose: Relapsed and/or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (r/r PTCL) is an aggressive and heterogeneous hematologic malignancy with high unmet need. Previously, PI3K inhibitors were shown to be efficacious in B- and T-cell lymphomas, but as a drug class, these agents have frequently been observed to have tolerability limitations. Next-generation agents that improve the tolerability while maintaining efficacy are desirable.

Clinical implications of residual normal plasma cells within bone marrow across various disease stages in multiple myeloma.

Residual normal plasma cells (NPCs), which compete with tumor plasma cells, play an important role in multiple myeloma. However, large-scale cohort studies investigating residual NPCs, especially at the minimal residual disease (MRD) phase, are currently lacking. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive investigation into the clinical significance of residual NPCs throughout the entire disease course in 1363 myeloma patients from the NICHE cohort (NCT04645199).

Identification of Therapy-Induced Clonal Evolution and Resistance Pathways in Minimal Residual Clones in Multiple Myeloma through Single-Cell Sequencing.

Purpose: In multiple myeloma (MM), therapy-induced clonal evolution is associated with treatment resistance and is one of the most important hindrances toward a cure for MM. To further understand the molecular mechanisms controlling the clonal evolution of MM, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to paired diagnostic and posttreatment bone marrow (BM) samples.

Experimental Design: scRNA-seq was performed on 38 BM samples from patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (n = 1), MM patients at diagnosis (n = 19), MM posttreatment (n = 17), and one healthy donor (HD).

Improved efficacy and safety of zanubrutinib versus ibrutinib in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (R/R CLL) in China: a subgroup of ALPINE.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) has different epidemiology in Chinese vs. Western patients, but there are few studies of CLL/SLL in large populations of Chinese patients. ALPINE is a global phase 3 trial investigating Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors zanubrutinib vs.

Venetoclax resistance leads to broad resistance to standard-of-care anti-MM agents, but not to immunotherapies.

To our knowledge, venetoclax is the first example of personalized medicine for multiple myeloma (MM), with meaningful clinical activity as a monotherapy and in combination in patients with myeloma harboring the t(11:14) translocation. However, despite the high response rates and prolonged progression-free survival, a significant proportion of patients eventually relapse. Here, we aim to study adaptive molecular responses after the acquisition of venetoclax resistance in sensitive t(11:14) MM cell models.

Subcutaneous daratumumab in Chinese patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma: an open-label, multicenter, phase 1 study (MMY1010).

Despite recent progress in multiple myeloma (MM) treatments, most patients will relapse and require additional treatment. Intravenous daratumumab, a human IgGκ monoclonal antibody targeting CD38, has shown good efficacy in the treatment of MM. A subcutaneous version of daratumumab was formulated to reduce the burden of intravenous infusions.

Consensus guidelines and recommendations for the management and response assessment of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in clinical practice for relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma: a report from the International Myeloma Working Group Immunotherapy Committee.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has shown promise in patients with late-line refractory multiple myeloma, with response rates ranging from 73 to 98%. To date, three products have been approved: Idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) and ciltacabtagene autoleucel (cilta-cel), which are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, the European Medicines Agency, Health Canada (ide-cel only), and Brazil ANVISA (cilta-cel only); and equecabtagene autoleucel (eque-cel), which was approved by the Chinese National Medical Products Administration. CAR T-cell therapy is different from previous anti-myeloma therapeutics with unique toxic effects that require distinct mitigation strategies.

LILRB4 represents a promising target for immunotherapy by dual targeting tumor cells and myeloid-derived suppressive cells in multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable hematologic malignancy. Despite tremendous advances in the treatment of this disease, about 10% of patients still have very poor outcomes with a median overall survival of less than 24 months. Our study aimed to underscore the critical mechanisms pertaining to rapid disease progression and provide novel therapeutic choices for these ultrahigh-risk patients.
