    Abstract The study by Kevlicius et al. from Lithuania gives further confirmation of the efficacy of booster mRNA COVID-19 vaccination for patients with haemato-oncological malignancies in the Omicron era. The risk of COVID-19 and mortality was considerably reduced when patients received the booster vaccination. The threshold of the humoral response to vaccination that was protective for haemato-oncological patients was defined. In particular, ruxolitinib and anti-CD20 treatments limited the humoral response to the third booster vaccination. These data may influence the clinical management of haemato-oncological patients in future waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, regarding for example the selection of patients for passive immunization against SARS-CoV-2.

Immunogenicity and clinical effectiveness of mRNA vaccine booster against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron in patients with haematological malignancies: A national prospective cohort study.

    Abstract Background: Steady evolution of therapies has improved prognosis of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) over the past two decades. Yet, knowledge about survival trends and causes of death in MM might play a crucial role in long-term management of this patient collective. Here, we investigate time trends in myeloma-specific survival at the population level over two decades and analyse causes of death in times of prolonged survival.
    Methods: Age-standardised and age group-specific relative survival (RS) of MM patients aged < 80 years at diagnosis was estimated for consecutive time periods from 2000-2019 using data from the Cancer Registry of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. Conditional RS was estimated for patients who already survived one to five years post diagnosis. Causes of death in MM patients were analysed and compared to the general population using standardised mortality ratios (SMR).
    Results: Three thousand three hundred thirty-six MM cases were included in the time trend analysis. Over two decades, age-standardised 5-year RS increased from 37 to 62%. Age-specific survival improved from 41% in period 2000-2004 to 69% in period 2015-2019 in the age group 15-69 years, and from 23 to 47% in the age group 70-79 years. Conditional 5-year RS of patients who survived five years after diagnosis slightly improved as compared to unconditional 5-year RS at diagnosis. MM patients are two times more likely to die from non-myeloma malignancies (SMR = 1.97, 95% CI 1.81-2.15) and from cardiovascular diseases (SMR = 2.01, 95% CI 1.86-2.18) than the general population.
    Conclusions: Prognosis of patients with MM has markedly improved since the year 2000 due to therapeutic advances. Nevertheless, late mortality remains a major concern. As survival improves, second primary malignancies and cardiovascular events deserve increased attention.

    Abstract Efficacy and toxicity of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy in relapsed/refractory (r/r) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with central nervous system (CNS) involvement remain understudied. Here we analyzed the outcomes of CAR-T cell therapy in r/r DLBCL patients with CNS involvement and compared them with patients without CNS disease. Retrospective and monocentric comparative analysis of patient cohort with r/r DLBCL treated with CAR-T cell therapy: 15 patients with CNS versus 65 patients without CNS involvement.

    Abstract Radiotherapy (RT) is an established treatment modality in the management of patients with multiple myeloma (MM), aiming at analgesia and stabilization of osteolytic lesions. As a multifocal disease, the combined use of RT, systemic chemotherapy, and targeted therapy (ST) is pivotal to achieve better disease control. However, adding RT to ST may lead to increased toxicity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the tolerability of ST given concurrently with RT. Overall, 82 patients treated at our hematological center with a median follow-up of 60 months from initial diagnosis and 46.5 months from the start of RT were evaluated retrospectively. Toxicities were recorded from 30 days before RT up to 90 days after RT. 54 patients (65.9%) developed at least one non-hematological toxicity, with 50 patients (61.0%) showing low-grade (grade I or II) and 14 patients (17.1%) revealing high-grade (grade III and IV) toxicities. Hematological toxicities were documented in 50 patients (61.0%) before RT, 60 patients (73.2%) during RT, and 67 patients (81.7%) following RT. After RT, patients who had received ST during RT showed a significant increase in high-grade hematological toxicities (

    Abstract We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of frontline polatuzumab vedotin-R-CHP (pola-R-CHP) treatment for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in Germany by using a Markov model (lifetime horizon). Progression rates and survival outcomes were extrapolated from the POLARIX trial. Outcomes were measured in incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERS) with a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of €80 000/quality-adjusted life-years (QALY). Assuming, 69.6% 5-year PFS with pola-R-CHP and 62.6% 5-year PFS with R-CHOP, the addition of polatuzumab vedotin resulted in an additional 0.52 life-years and an incremental 0.65 QALYs but €31 988 additional cost. Based on this, pola-R-CHP was cost-effective (€49 238/QALY) at a WTP of €80 000/QALY. The cost-effectiveness of pola-R-CHP is highly dependent on its long-term outcomes and cost. Our analysis is limited by the fact that the long-term outcomes of pola-R-CHP are unknown at this time.

    Abstract CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has become a standard treatment for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL). While the benefits of CAR-T cell treatment are clear in the general patient population, there remains a relative scarcity of real-world evidence regarding its efficacy and toxicity in patients (pts) aged ≥70 years with DLBCL. We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis including 172 r/r DLBCL pts with CAR-T cell treatment, axicabtagene ciloleucel or tisagenlecleucel, between 2019 and 2023 at three tertiary centers. Pts were grouped by age at CAR-T infusion (<70 vs. ≥70 years). Subsequently, descriptive and survival analyses, including propensity score matching, were performed to compare outcomes between both age groups. We identified 109 pts aged <70 and 63 pts aged ≥70 years. Overall response rates for both age groups were comparable (77.7% vs. 78.3%;

    Abstract At present, hemato-oncologic diagnostics is facing dynamic changes. This applies to the exploration and introduction of novel technologies such as next-generation sequencing or digital droplet PCR for myeloid and lymphatic malignancies in laboratory routine, or liquid biopsy for patients with lymphoid malignancies. Targeted therapies such as FLT3 or IDH1/IDH2 inhibitors for acute myeloid leukemia are entering clinical practice. Thus, the demand for hematologic precision diagnostics both at initial diagnosis and during the course of the disease are equally increasing, and a short turn-around time becomes crucial. NGS expands the armamentarium for minimal residual disease diagnostics, but novel questions arise relating to sensitivity, the appropriate time points of this analysis, or the thresholds triggering therapeutic interventions. In this review article, we summarize some of the most relevant current changes and subsequent challenges for diagnostics in various myeloid and lymphatic malignancies. Future directions of hemato-oncologic diagnostics in the next 5-10 years are highlighted.

    Abstract Initial treatment with the monoclonal anti-CD52 antibody alemtuzumab induces responses in the majority of patients with T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL). In eligible patients, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an option to consolidate hematological remissions. Here, we report our experience with 10 patients who received allo-HSCT against T-PLL. Notably, 3 patients with complete remission at transplantation and durable full-donor chimerism relapsed at months 12, 59, and 84 after transplantation, respectively. This relapse was associated with rapid progressive leukemia in 1 patient and extralymphatic lymphoma growth in the other 2. Despite CD52 positivity at relapse, alemtuzumab retreatment, donor lymphocyte infusions, and/or chemotherapy including salvage therapy, allo-HSCT yielded a transient partial response, only. Alemtuzumab induction and consolidative allo-HSCT enabled prolonged disease-free survival in these patients but failed to procure cure.
