Multi-drug resistance (MDR) protein expression is associated with reduced gemtuzumab ozogamicin (Mylotarg) activity. Both cyclosporine-A (CSA) and liposome-encapsulated daunorubicin, DaunoXome (DNX) may reduce the negative impact of MDR. A gemtuzumab ozogamicin, DNX, cytarabine (ara-C) and CSA (MDAC) regimen was piloted in patients with refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) (relapsed 10, primary refractory 1) (median age 37 years (16-67)). One (9%) patient achieved a transient CR, one CRp. Grade 3/4 toxicities included sepsis (seven patients; 63%); hyperbilirubinemia (six patients; 54%), with transaminitis in one patient; mucositis (three patients; 27%). The inclusion of CSA in a gemtuzumab ozogamicin-containing regimen is feasible. The MDAC regimen was associated with significant toxicity in a cohort of patients with very advanced AML.

Utility of ursodiol prophylaxis against sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS)/ veno-occlusive disease (VOD) in acute leukemia patients receiving gemtuzumab-ozogamicin (GO) or inotuzumab-ozogamicin (InO).

Purpose: Sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS)/veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a serious complication in hematopoietic stem-cell transplant (HSCT) patients. Gemtuzumab-ozogamicin (GO) and InO are known to cause SOS/VOD in leukemic and transplant populations. Due to limited data on ursodiol prophylaxis in non-HSCT patients, we aimed to assess hepatotoxicity, SOS/VOD incidences, time to hepatotoxicity, and confirmed SOS/VOD in adults receiving GO or InO ± ursodiol.

Targeted DNA sequencing of 263 genes was performed in 568 AML patients (median age: 59 years) entered into the prospective AMLSG 09-09 treatment trial. Most commonly co-mutated genes were (49.

Introduction: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are increasingly utilized in patients with solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. However, the adverse ocular toxicity induced by ADCs has not been comprehensively evaluated in real-world clinical settings.
Methods: Data from April 2019 to March 2024 based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) were extracted and analyzed.
CPX-351 +/- gemtuzumab ozogamicin as induction therapy for adult patients with newly diagnosed, favourable-intermediate risk, FLT3-ITD negative, AML: A pilot study.

This pilot study evaluated CPX-351 in adults with newly diagnosed, favourable-intermediate risk, FLT3-ITD-negative AML. Twenty patients received CPX-351 for induction, with six also receiving gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO). The complete response rate was 95%, with 42% achieving flow-based minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity post-induction.
