A phase I study was performed to determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of XK469R in patients with refractory acute leukemia. The study aimed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of XK469R given intravenously over 30 to 60 min on days 1, 3, and 5 of a 21 day cycle. Patients were treated in successive cohorts of six until DLT was observed. Once the MTD was determined, an additional cohort of six patients was enrolled at the previous dose level and that dose was considered the recommended phase 2 dose (RPTD). Forty-six patients were treated at dose levels of 1,400, 1,750, 2,200, and 2,750 mg. The DLTs were: mucositis, colitis and hyperbilirubinemia. Reversible myelosuppression was noted at all dose levels. One (2%) of 42 patients achieved a complete remission and five patients (11%) had hematologic improvement. The half-life of the drug was long with a mean value of 48 h. The mean clearance was 206 mL/h with a coefficient of variation of 32%. No correlation was observed between the development of DLT and pharmacokinetics. The RTPD is 1,750 mg. XK469R induced hematological responses in patients with refractory leukemia at tolerable doses.

Background: Sequential CD19 and CD22 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy offers a promising approach to antigen-loss relapse in relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL); however, research in adults remains limited.
Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sequential CD19 and CD22 CAR-T cell therapy in adult patients with R/R B-ALL between November 2020 and November 2023 (ChiCTR2100053871). Key endpoints included the adverse event incidence, overall survival (OS), and leukemia-free survival (LFS).

New treatment approaches are warranted for patients with advanced melanoma refractory to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) or BRAF-targeted therapy. We designed BNT221, a personalized, neoantigen-specific autologous T cell product derived from peripheral blood, and tested this in a 3 + 3 dose-finding study with two dose levels (DLs) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic melanoma, disease progression after ICB, measurable disease (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1) and, where appropriate, BRAF-targeted therapy.

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) has a favorable clinical outcome with appropriate treatment; however, further research is needed on managing patients with relapsed or refractory disease and the risk of infection during prolonged periods. This study examined the long-term effects of 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (2-CdA), particularly using a weekly infusion protocol, in treatment-naïve patients with HCL. This retrospective study evaluated the long-term follow-up data from 21 South Korean patients diagnosed with HCL.

Introduction: Foreign body (FB) inhalation is a potentially life-threatening condition in children. Magnets, being rare, aspirated objects, pose significant threat due to their physical and magnetic properties.
Case Presentation: A 10-year-old girl with a history of magnet aspiration went into respiratory distress due to dislodgement of magnet to opposite main bronchus following failed attempt of removal via Rigid Bronchoscopy.

Introduction: Pediatric-onset Crohn's disease (CD) has a more severe phenotype than adult-onset, and nearly one-third of pediatric CD patients will require surgical therapy. There is limited data on patient/disease characteristics that are associated with earlier surgical management.
Methods: All pediatric CD patients (<22 yrs) who underwent ileocolectomy from 2005 to 2021 were included.
