Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is a potentially curative treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). However, these transplants are complicated by a high rate of relapse in very high cytogenetic risk or refractory diseases. The benefit of this therapeutic strategy for these serious malignant hemopathies could therefore be reassessed.

Introduction: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCST) is a widely used therapy in the management of hematological malignancies, leading to cytopenias that require transient transfusions. Platelet recovery (PR) following HSCT is assessed by monitoring platelet count (PC). Immature platelet fraction (IPF) is a research parameter offered by Sysmex® on XN series analyzers, enabling rapid diagnostic orientation in the event of thrombocytopenia.

Tafasitamab plus lenalidomide (TAFA-LEN) treatment relevance pre- or post-anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is debated. We analyzed patients with large B-cell lymphoma in the DESCAR-T registry treated with axi[1]cel or tisa-cel in ≥3rd line and TAFA-LEN before (n = 15, "TL-pre-CAR-T" set) or directly after (n = 52, "TL-post-CAR-T" set) CAR T-cell therapy. We compared TAFA-LEN v.

Article Synopsis
  • Autologous anti-CD19 CAR T cells are becoming standard treatment for relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma, but serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity (ICANS) pose risks, often requiring ICU care.
  • In a study involving 925 patients in France, high rates of CRS (84.1%) and ICANS (40.5%) were observed, with significant proportions experiencing severe forms of these conditions.
  • Two prognostic scoring systems (CRS-PSS and ICANS-PSS) were developed to identify patients at higher risk for severe CRS and ICANS based on specific clinical factors, and these scores were validated in other patient groups treated with similar therapies.
