Purpose: The use of inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO), a conjugated anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody, is becoming a promising frontline treatment for older patients with ALL.
Patients And Methods: EWALL-INO is an open-label prospective multicenter phase II trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03249870).
Patients with Core-Binding Factor (CBF) and NPM1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) can be monitored by quantitative PCR after having achieved first complete remission (CR) to detect morphologic relapse and drive preemptive therapy. How to best manage these patients is unknown. We retrospectively analyzed 303 patients with CBF and NPM1-mutated AML, aged 18-60 years, without allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in first CR, with molecular monitoring after first-line intensive therapy.

In this multicenter, registry-based study, we analyzed outcomes of 378 patients undergoing first allo-HCT between 2006-2017 for t-MN arising secondary to lymphoma treatment. Median age was 58 years at allo-HCT; 222 (59%) had a diagnosis of t-MDS and 156 (41%) of t-AML, respectively.

Data evaluating outcomes of a large CMML cohort after allo-HCT compared to MDS are limited. We aim to compare outcomes of CMML to MDS patients who underwent allo-HCT between 2010 and 2018.

The combination of carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan (BEAM) followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is a commonly used intensification regimen for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. As etoposide and cytarabine dosing are not defined, we conducted a retrospective, multicenter study, to compare efficacy and toxicity in 130 patients with Hodgkin lymphoma receiving etoposide and cytarabine at either 200 mg/m/d ( = 50), 400 mg/m/d ( = 35), or etoposide 200 mg/m/d and cytarabine 400 mg/m/d ( = 45). Progression-free survival and overall survival were not associated with the intensity of conditioning.
