Objective: The efficacy of mogamulizumab in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) was reported in a previous phase 2 study. Compared with patients in clinical trials, however, most patients in real-life settings have demonstrated worse outcomes.

Method: We retrospectively analyzed 96 patients with relapsed/refractory ATLL who received mogamulizumab treatment.

Results: Relapsed/refractory ATLL patients with a median age of 70 years received a median of five courses of mogamulizumab. Hematologic toxicity and skin rash were the most common adverse events, and both were manageable. Of 96 patients, 87 were evaluable for efficacy. The overall response rate was 36%, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from the start of mogamulizumab therapy were 1.8 and 4.0 months, respectively. Of the original 96 patients, only 25 fulfilled the inclusion criteria of the phase 2 study. Those who met the criteria demonstrated longer median PFS and OS durations of 2.7 and 8.5 months, respectively. The median OS from diagnosis in relapsed/refractory ATLL patients receiving mogamulizumab was 12 months, longer than the 5.8 months in a historical cohort without mogamulizumab.

Conclusion: In clinical practice, mogamulizumab exhibited antitumor activity in patients with relapsed/refractory ATLL, with an acceptable toxicity profile. Mogamulizumab therapy improved the OS of ATLL patients.

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematological malignancy with poor response to conventional therapy, derived from hematopoietic progenitors committed to T-cell lineage. Relapsed/Refractory patients account for nearly 20% of childhood and 45% of adult cases. Aberrant Notch signaling plays a critical role in T-ALL pathogenesis and therapy resistance.

Introduction: Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has emerged as a promising approach for treating relapsed/refractory (r/r) T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). However, it is mostly used as a bridging therapy for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Furthermore, secondary allo-HSCT is costly and associated with significantly high treatment-related mortality rate than the primary transplants.

Lenalidomide is an oral immunomodulatory agent approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) in Japan. Post-marketing surveillance (PMS) was conducted to confirm its safety and effectiveness. From April 2017 until April 2020, safety data were obtained for 77 patients and effectiveness data for 65 patients (31.

The Role of CAR T-Cell Therapy in Relapsed/Refractory Adult B-ALL.

Department of Hematology and Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation, City of Hope National Medical Center, Duarte, CA.

CAR T-cell therapy is a recent therapeutic advancement that has transformed the management of relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). To date, there are 2 FDA-approved CAR-T products for R/R B-ALL: tisagenlecleucel in patients aged <26 years and brexucabtagene autoleucel in those aged ≥18 years. This review summarizes the pivotal clinical trials that led to FDA approval of these 2 products and highlight emerging data addressing key questions pertinent to CAR-T utilization in the rapidly evolving landscape of R/R ALL management.

Article Synopsis
  • CAR-T therapy has improved treatment options for relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia, but it can cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS).
  • A study involving 93 patients showed that while most (81.7%) experienced CRS and a few (5.3%) experienced ICANS, these conditions did not significantly impact treatment effectiveness or patient survival rates.
  • Ultimately, the findings suggest that experiencing CRS or ICANS does not lead to worse outcomes for patients receiving anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy.
