    Abstract For patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with relapse following B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies (CAR-T), optimal salvage treatment strategies remain unclear. BCMA-directed CAR-T and bispecific antibodies (BsAb) are now commercially available, and the outcomes for retreatment with BCMA-directed approaches are not well-studied. We performed a retrospective analysis of 68 patients with relapsed disease after BCMA-directed CAR-T to evaluate outcomes and responses to salvage therapies. With a median follow-up of 13.5 months, median overall survival from time of relapse until death was 18 months (95% confidence interval (CI): 13.2 months-not reached (NR)). 58 patients received subsequent myeloma-directed therapies, with a total of 265 lines-of-therapy (LOTs). The overall response rate for first-line salvage therapy was 41% (CI: 28-55%). Among all LOTs, high response rates were observed among those receiving another BCMA-directed CAR-T (89%), BCMA-directed BsAb (60%), CD38-directed combinations (80% when combined with BsAb; 50% when combined with immunomodulatory drugs and/or proteasome inhibitors), and alkylator-combinations (50% overall; 69% with high-dose alkylators). Thirty-four patients received at least one line of salvage BCMA-directed therapy; median PFS was 8.3 months (CI: 7.9 months-NR), 3.6 months (CI: 1.4 months-NR), and 1 month (CI: 0.9 months-NR) with median duration of response (DOR) of 8 months, 4.4 months, and 2.8 months for subsequent BCMA-directed CAR-T, BsAb, and belantamab mafadotin, respectively. Retreatment with BCMA-directed CAR-T and BsAb can be effective salvage options post-BCMA-directed CAR-T relapse; however, DORs appear limited and further studies with new combinations and alternative targets are warranted.

    Abstract Purpose: Gamma delta T-cell receptor-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (γδ T-ALL) is a high-risk but poorly characterized disease.
    Methods: We studied clinical features of 200 pediatric γδ T-ALL, and compared the prognosis of 93 cases to 1,067 protocol-matched non-γδ T-ALL. Genomic features were defined by transcriptome and genome sequencing. Experimental modeling was used to examine the mechanistic impacts of genomic alterations. Therapeutic vulnerabilities were identified by high throughput drug screening of cell lines and xenografts.
    Results: γδ T-ALL in children under three was extremely high-risk with 5-year event-free survival (33% v. 70% [age 3-<10] and 73% [age ≥10],

    Abstract Background: Contemporary data of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and natural-killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTL) patients treated with ifosfamide, carboplatin and etoposide (ICE) are limited.
    Aims: We performed a retrospective analysis to estimate outcomes of ICE-treated PTCL and NKTL patients at three tertiary cancer centres in Singapore.
    Methods and results: Patients were identified through lymphoma databases from National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS), National University Hospital, Singapore (NUHS), and Singapore General Hospital (SGH). Responses and survival outcomes were determined from electronic medical records. A total of 75 patients with a median age of 50 were included. ICE was used as first-line treatment in 14 patients (19%) and as subsequent lines of treatment in 61 patients (81%). The overall response rates (ORR) for all patients was 63% (40% complete response [CR]). The ORR and CR in the first line were 86% and 64% respectively. At a median follow-up duration of 71.0 months, the median progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for all patients were 4.4 months (95%CI, 2.7-6.0) and 16 months (95%CI, 8.3-45.4) respectively.
    Conclusion: In summary, ICE showed high ORR but poor PFS in relapsed/refractory PTCL and NKTL. ORR of ICE in the first line setting appears better than real-world CHOP data and warrants further study.

    Abstract T1 relaxation times of the 14 T1 phantom spheres that make up the standard International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM)/National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) system phantom are reported at 7 T. T1 values of six of the 14 T1 spheres at 7 T (with T1 > 270 ms) have been reported previously, but, to the best of our knowledge, not all of the T1s of the 14 T1 spheres at 7 T have been reported before. Given the increasing number of 7-T MRI systems in clinical settings and the increasing need for T1 phantoms that cover a wide range of T1 relaxation times to evaluate rapid T1 mapping techniques at 7 T, it is of high interest to obtain accurate T1 values for all the ISMRM/NIST T1 spheres at 7 T. In this work, T1 relaxation time was measured on a 7-T MRI scanner using an inversion-recovery spin-echo pulse sequence and derived by curve fitting to a signal equation that exhibits insensitivity to

    Abstract Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is proposed to be initiated by age-related clonal hematopoiesis (ACH) with TET2 mutations, whereas the G17V RHOA mutation in immature cells with TET2 mutations promotes the development of T follicular helper (TFH)-like tumor cells. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which TET2-mutant immune cells enable AITL development using mouse models and human samples. Among the 2 mouse models, mice lacking Tet2 in all the blood cells (Mx-Cre × Tet2flox/flox × G17V RHOA transgenic mice) spontaneously developed AITL for approximately up to a year, while mice lacking Tet2 only in the T cells (Cd4-Cre × Tet2flox/flox × G17V RHOA transgenic mice) did not. Therefore, Tet2-deficient immune cells function as a niche for AITL development. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) of >50 000 cells from mouse and human AITL samples revealed significant expansion of aberrant B cells, exhibiting properties of activating light zone (LZ)-like and proliferative dark zone (DZ)-like germinal center B (GCB) cells. The GCB cells in AITL clonally evolved with recurrent mutations in genes related to core histones. In silico network analysis using scRNA-seq data identified Cd40-Cd40lg as a possible mediator of GCB and tumor cell cluster interactions. Treatment of AITL model mice with anti-Cd40lg inhibitory antibody prolonged survival. The genes expressed in aberrantly expanded GCB cells in murine tumors were also broadly expressed in the B-lineage cells of TET2-mutant human AITL. Therefore, ACH-derived GCB cells could undergo independent clonal evolution and support the tumorigenesis in AITL via the CD40-CD40LG axis.

    Abstract Signal transduction induced by chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) is generally believed to rely on the activity of the SRC family kinase (SFK) LCK, as is the case with T cell receptor (TCR) signaling. Here, we show that CAR signaling occurs in the absence of LCK. This LCK-independent signaling requires the related SFK FYN and a CD28 intracellular domain within the CAR. LCK-deficient CAR-T cells are strongly signaled through CAR and have better in vivo efficacy with reduced exhaustion phenotype and enhanced induction of memory and proliferation. These distinctions can be attributed to the fact that FYN signaling tends to promote proliferation and survival, whereas LCK signaling promotes strong signaling that tends to lead to exhaustion. This non-canonical signaling of CAR-T cells provides insight into the initiation of both TCR and CAR signaling and has important clinical implications for improvement of CAR function.

    Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has demonstrated remarkable success as an immunotherapy for hematological malignancies, and its potential for treating solid tumors is an active area of research. However, limited trafficking and mobility of T cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) present challenges for CAR T cell therapy in solid tumors. To gain a better understanding of CAR T cell function in solid tumors, we subjected CD70-specific CAR T cells to a challenge by evaluating their immune trafficking and infiltration through a confined 3D microchannel network in a bio-conjugated liquid-like solid (LLS) medium. Our results demonstrated successful CAR T cell migration and anti-tumor activity against CD70-expressing glioblastoma and osteosarcoma tumors. Through comprehensive analysis of cytokines and chemokines, combined with in situ imaging, we elucidated that immune recruitment occurred via chemotaxis, and the effector-to-target ratio plays an important role in overall antitumor function. Furthermore, through single-cell collection and transcriptomic profiling, we identified differential gene expression among the immune subpopulations. Our findings provide valuable insights into the complex dynamics of CAR T cell function in solid tumors, informing future research and development in this promising cancer treatment approach. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The use of specialized immune cells named CAR T cells to combat cancers has demonstrated remarkable success against blood cancers. However, this success is not replicated in solid tumors, such as brain or bone cancers, mainly due to the physical barriers of these solid tumors. Currently, preclinical technologies do not allow for reliable evaluation of tumor-immune cell interactions. To better study these specialized CAR T cells, we have developed an innovative in vitro three-dimensional model that promises to dissect the interactions between tumors and CAR T cells at the single-cell level. Our findings provide valuable insights into the complex dynamics of CAR T cell function in solid tumors, informing future research and development in this promising cancer treatment approach.

    Abstract Background & aims: It is unclear if there may be sex differences in response to nucleos(t)ide analogs including virologic response (VR), biochemical response (BR), complete response (CR), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence among hepatitis B patients. We compared nucleos(t)ide analog treatment outcomes by sex.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 3388 treatment-naïve adult hepatitis B patients (1250 female, 2138 male) from the Real-World Evidence from the Global Alliance for the Study of Hepatitis B Virus consortium who initiated therapy with either entecavir or tenofovir from 22 sites (Argentina, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and the United States). We used propensity-score matching to balance background characteristics of the male and female groups and competing-risks analysis to estimate the incidence and subdistribution hazard ratios (SHRs) of VR, BR, CR, and HCC.
    Results: Females (vs males) were older (52.0 vs 48.6 y); less likely to be overweight/obese (49.3% vs 65.7%), diabetic (9.9% vs 13.1%), or cirrhotic (27.9% vs 33.0%); and had a lower HBV DNA level (5.9 vs 6.0 log10 IU/mL) and alanine aminotransferase level (91 vs 102 IU/L) (all P < .01). However, after propensity-score matching, relevant background characteristics were balanced between the 2 groups. Females (vs males) had similar 5-year cumulative VR (91.3% vs 90.3%; P = .40) and HCC incidence rates (5.1% vs 4.4%; P = .64), but lower BR (84.0% vs 90.9%; P < .001) and CR (78.8% vs 83.4%; P = .016). Males were more likely to achieve BR (SHR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.17-1.46; P < .001) and CR (SHR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.03-1.31; P = .016), but VR and HCC risks were similar.
    Conclusions: Sex differences exist for treatment outcomes among hepatitis B patients. Male sex was associated with a 16% higher likelihood of clinical remission and a 31% higher likelihood of biochemical response than females, while virologic response and HCC incidence were similar between the 2 groups.
