Article Synopsis
  • Severe cytokine release syndrome (sCRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) hinder the use of CAR T-cell therapy, prompting researchers to develop a new CAR (ssCART-19) that incorporates shRNA to target the IL-6 gene.
  • In a study involving 87 patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, ssCART-19 demonstrated significantly lower rates of grade ≥3 CRS (14.89%) and ICANS (4.26%) compared to conventional CAR T-cells (cCART-19) which had rates of 37.5% and 15%, respectively.
  • Overall response rates and survival metrics were comparable

  • Acute leukemia was the most common reason for HSCT, with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) as the top condition; the primary source of stem cells was peripheral blood, and a BuCy-based conditioning regimen was most widely

It was previously believed that patients with Ph-like ALL had poorer prognosis compared with other B-ALL subgroups due to resistance to conventional chemotherapy and lack of targeted drugs. CAR-T therapy has been successfully applied in the treatment of relapsed and refractory B-ALL. Currently, there are few data on whether CAR-T therapy can alter the outcome of Ph-like ALL.

Background: Ocular graft-versus-host disease (oGVHD) is one of the complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), which impairs the quality of life and may indicate poor prognosis. In this retrospective study, the aim was to investigate the characteristics of ocular surface after HSCT, and analyze the risk factors related to the severity of ocular surface lesions.

Methods: 248 post-HSCT patients were enrolled in this retrospective study.

Between 2020 and 2021, 31,525 hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HSCTs) were reported to the Chinese Blood and Marrow Transplantation Registry Group throughout mainland China. In this report, we describe the activity and current trends for HSCT in China during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. In 2020, a total of 13,415 cases of HSCT were reported from 166 transplantation teams, and 75% (10,042 cases) were allogeneic HSCTs.

The 7 + 3 regimen is the front-line induction chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia, with a response rate of 60-80%. But it's not suitable for all patients especially old/unfit patients because of a higher treatment related toxicity. Therefore, safer and more effective induction therapies are required.

Mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is a subtype of leukemia in which lymphoid and myeloid markers are co-expressed. Knowledge regarding the genetic features of MPAL is lacking due to its rarity and heterogeneity. Here, we applied an integrated genomic and transcriptomic approach to explore the molecular characteristics of 176 adult patients with MPAL, including 86 patients with T-lymphoid/myeloid MPAL (T/My MPAL-NOS), 42 with Ph+ MPAL, 36 with B-lymphoid/myeloid MPAL (B/My MPAL-NOS), 4 with t(v;11q23), and 8 with MPAL, NOS, rare types.

Corneal perforation is a rare and serious complication of ocular graft-versus-host disease (oGVHD) patients. This study was to retrospectively report seven corneal perforation patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Demographic, hematologic, and ophthalmological data of patients were clarified in detail.

Patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) often show resistance to chemotherapy and have dismal outcomes. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new treatment strategies to address this problem. With tremendous achievement of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) therapy against B-cell malignancies, many efforts have been devoted to developing CAR-T therapy for R/R AML but with limited success, in part owing to a lack of specific targets.

Patients with relapsed/refractory early T-cell precursor lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ETP-ALL/LBL) respond poorly to traditional therapy and have dismal prognosis. CD7 is a promising therapeutic targets for chimeric antigen receptor modified T cell therapy (CART) due to its widely expression in almost all T-cell malignancies. Here we present the anti-CD7 CART therapy in a 11-year-old male with TP53 mutated relapsed/refractory ETP-ALL/LBL.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of platelet antibody in patients with hematological diseases, so as to research the effect of immunized platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) on the prognosis of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recepients with malignant hematological diseases patients.

Methods: The clinical data of platelet antibody positive patients tested by Capture-P in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from July 1, 2014 to July 1, 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including sex, age, disease, platelet transfusion assessments, CD34 cells, transplant prognosis, and so on.

Results: In 5 years, 913 (7.

-positive B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients are reported to have a unique immunophenotype with high expression of CD19 and CD22, weak expression of CD20 and aberrant expression of CD13 and/or CD33, sensitivity to chemotherapy and a favorable outcome. To date, the cases of only 53 patients have been reported, albeit few reports on salvage therapy when conventional chemotherapies failed. Here, we describe two relapsed and refractory adult B-ALL patients with who achieved second remission through tandem CD19/CD22 CAR T-cell therapy.

The consensus recommendations in 2018 from The Chinese Society of Hematology (CSH) on indications, conditioning regimens and donor selection for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) facilitated the standardization of clinical practices of allo-HSCT in China and progressive integration with the world. There have been new developments since the initial publication. To integrate recent developments and further improve the consensus, a panel of experts from the CSH recently updated the consensus recommendations, which are summarized as follows: (1) there is a new algorithm for selecting appropriate donors for allo-HSCT candidates.

Philadelphia chromosome-like B-lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-like ALL) describes a group of genetically heterogeneous, Ph-negative entities with high relapse rates and poor prognoses. A Janus-kinase-2 (2 rearrangement has been reported in approximately 7% of Ph-like ALL patients whose therapeutic responses to JAK inhibitors have been studied in clinical trials. Here, we report a novel fusion gene in a 21-year-old woman with Ph-like ALL.

Philadelphia chromosome-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-like ALL) is associated with high rates of treatment failure and poor outcome. Activation of ABL/Src family kinases is found in ~10% of Ph-like ALL, which can be therapeutically targeted by tyrosine kinase inhibitors. LYN is a member of the ABL/Src-tyrosine kinase family.

RNF6, a RING-type ubiquitin ligase, has been identified as an oncogene in various cancers but its role in multiple myeloma (MM) remains elusive. In the present study we first showed that the expression levels of RNF6 in MM were significantly elevated compared with the bone marrow cells of healthy donors. Overexpression of RNF6 in LP1 and PRMI-8266 MM cell lines promoted cell proliferation, whereas knockdown of RNF6 led to apoptosis of MM cells.
