    Abstract Artificial Intelligence has the potential to reshape the landscape of clinical trials through innovative applications, with a notable advancement being the emergence of synthetic patient generation. This process involves simulating cohorts of virtual patients that can either replace or supplement real individuals within trial settings. By leveraging synthetic patients, it becomes possible to eliminate the need for obtaining patient consent and creating control groups that mimic patients in active treatment arms. This method not only streamlines trial processes, reducing time and costs but also fortifies the protection of sensitive participant data. Furthermore, integrating synthetic patients amplifies trial efficiency by expanding the sample size. These straightforward and cost-effective methods also enable the development of personalized subject-specific models, enabling predictions of patient responses to interventions. Synthetic data holds great promise for generating real-world evidence in clinical trials while upholding rigorous confidentiality standards throughout the process. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate the applicability and performance of these methods in the context of onco-hematological research, breaking through the theoretical and practical barriers associated with the implementation of artificial intelligence in medical trials.

    Abstract Unmet needs remain in later lines chronic myeloid leukemia (CML): the response rate and the overall survival of resistant patients in the chronic phase who changed a second-generation TKI in the second line with another TKI with similar action are usually poor, while the off-target toxicities and the potential development of mutations increase. The recent approval of asciminib, a STAMP inhibitor, in the third line, has the potential to soon change the therapeutic algorithm for this subset of patients. Here, we report the results of a GIMEMA survey assessing the number of patients currently treated in the third line in Italy, the current approach in later lines by Italian physicians, and the future role of this drug according to the reason to switch to asciminib (resistance and/or intolerance), as well as the perceptions about the future position of this agent.

    Abstract The management of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (blast phase) secondary to myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) is extremely challenging and the outcome dismal, with a median overall survival of about 3-6 months. Effective therapeutic approaches are lacking, especially when intensive strategies followed by allogeneic transplantation are not feasible. The combination of venetoclax and hypomethylating agents has recently been established as standard for newly diagnosed, unfit patients with

    Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is a heterogeneous malignancy characterized by the proliferation of abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow. Multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) plays a role in the work-up of the disease in view of the aberrant expression of surface antigens. Our study aimed at describing the antigenic profile detected by MFC in a series of newly diagnosed MM patients to correlate the level of expression with other features of the disease. Between April 2018 and June 2022, 84 consecutive MM patients were studied at presentation. CD56 and CD117 were commonly detected, while CD45, CD28, CD20, CD19, CD13 and CD33 were less recurrent. CD20 expression was associated with the type of secretory MM (p=0.041) and with a higher disease burden (p=0.038). CD28 positivity correlated with a lower platelet count at baseline (p=0.005) and with a lower rate of complete response (p=0.038). Furthermore, CD28 positivity and a lower CD138 expression tended to associate with the high-risk chromosomal translocations t(14;16) and t(4;14). The results of this study indicate that in the diagnostic work-up of MM, MFC may help to identify different patient subsets and improve risk stratification. These observations need to be validated in larger series of patients with a longer follow-up.

    Abstract Background: Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are successfully increasingly used in children in onco-hematologic setting. PICC insertion, especially in oncologic patients, can be associated with adverse events (thrombosis, mechanical complications, and infections). Data regarding the use of PICC, as long-term access in pediatric patients with severe hematologic diseases, are still limited.
    Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of 196 PICC, inserted in 129 pediatric patients with acute leukemia diagnosed and treated at Pediatric Hematology Unit, Sapienza University of Rome.
    Results: The 196 PICC analyzed were in situ for a median dwell time of 190 days (range 12-898). In 42 children, PICC was inserted twice and in 10, three times or more due to hematopoietic stem cell transplant, disease recurrence, or PICC-related complications. The overall complication rate was 34%: catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) occurred in 22% of cases after a median time of 97 days; a catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) in 3.5% and mechanical complications in 9% of cases. Premature removal for complications occurred in 30% of PICC. One death from CRBSI was observed.
    Conclusions: To our knowledge, this study represents the largest cohort of pediatric patients who have inserted the PICC for acute leukemia. In our experience, PICC was a cheap, safe, and reliable device for long-term intravenous access in children with acute leukemia. This has been possible with the help of dedicated PICC team.

    Abstract The increasing knowledge of molecular genetics of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) necessitated the update of previous diagnostic and prognostic schemes, which resulted in the development of the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Consensus Classification (ICC), and the new European LeukemiaNet (ELN) recommendations in 2022. We aimed to provide a real-world application of the new models, unravel differences and similarities, and test their implementation in clinical AML diagnosis. A total of 1001 patients diagnosed with AML were reclassified based on the new schemes. The overall diagnostic changes between the WHO 2016 and the WHO 2022 and ICC classifications were 22.8% and 23.7%, respectively, with a 13.1% difference in patients' distribution between ICC and WHO 2022. The 2022 ICC "not otherwise specified" and WHO "defined by differentiation" AML category sizes shrank when compared with that in WHO 2016 (24.1% and 26.8% respectively, vs 38.7%), particularly because of an expansion of the myelodysplasia (MDS)-related group. Of 397 patients with a MDS-related AML according to the ICC, 55.9% were defined by the presence of a MDS-related karyotype. The overall restratification between ELN 2017 and ELN 2022 was 12.9%. The 2022 AML classifications led to a significant improvement of diagnostic schemes. In the real-world setting, conventional cytogenetics, usually rapidly available and less expensive than molecular characterization, stratified 56% of secondary AML, still maintaining a powerful diagnostic role. Considering the similarities between WHO and ICC diagnostic schemes, a tentative scheme to generate a unified model is desirable.

    Abstract Background: In the setting of mismatched-hematopoietic stem cells transplantation, the detection of antibodies directed against donor-specific HLA allele(s) or antigen(s) (DSA) represents a barrier for engraftment. It is thus necessary to plan an immunosuppressive strategy, or to select an alternative donor. This prospective study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of our strategy for testing DSAs and the efficacy of the desensitization strategy (DS) employed between November 2017 and November 2020.
    Materials and methods: The anti-HLA antibody search was performed using the Luminex bead assays (Lifecode ID and LSA I/II-Immucor) and expressed as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI >1,000 positive). If the patient had DSAs and no alternative donors, a DS was employed with rituximab (day -15), 2 single volume plasmaphereses (PP; days -9 and -8), intravenous immunoglobulins (day -7) and infusion of HLA selected platelets, if persistent DSAs were directed against class I HLA. DS was scheduled with or without PP, according to the DSA MFI (>1,000 or <5,000) and FCXM (flow cytometry crossmatch).
    Results: Twenty-two out of 126 patients (17.46%) showed anti-HLA antibodies, 5 of them DSAs (3.97% of total); 3 patients underwent DS obtaining engraftment. Female gender (p=0.033) and a history of previous pregnancies or miscarriages (p=0.009) showed a statistically significant impact on alloimmunization. Factors associated with a delayed neutrophil engraftment were patient's female gender (p=0.039), stem cell source (p=0.025), and a high HSCT-specific comorbidity index (p=0.028). None of the analyzed variables, including the DSA detection, influenced engraftment.
    Conclusions: Our study confirms the importance to test DSAs in mismatched-hematopoietic stem cells transplantation The DS used proved successful in removing DSAs. Prospective multicenter studies are needed to better define and validate consensus strategies on DSA management in HSCT.
