    Abstract Treatment with tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) achieves excellent complete remission rates in children and young adults with relapsed or refractory B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), but approximately 50% maintain long-term remission. Consolidative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (cHSCT) is a potential strategy to reduce relapse risk, but it carries substantial short- and long-term toxicities. Additionally, several strategies for management of B cell recovery (BCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) positivity post-tisa-cel exist, without an accepted standard. We hypothesized that practice preferences surrounding cHSCT, as well as management of BCR and NGS positivity, varies across tisa-cel-prescribing physicians and sought to characterize current practice preferences. A survey focusing on preferences regarding the use of cHSCT, management of BCR, and NGS positivity was distributed to physicians who prescribe tisa-cel for children and young adults with B-ALL. Responses were collected from August 2022 to April 2023. Fifty-nine unique responses were collected across 43 institutions. All respondents prescribed tisa-cel for children and young adults. The clinical focus of respondents was HSCT in 71%, followed by leukemia/lymphoma in 24%. For HSCT-naive patients receiving tisa-cel, 57% of respondents indicated they made individualized decisions for cHSCT based on patient factors, whereas 22% indicated they would avoid cHSCT and 21% indicated they would pursue cHSCT when feasible. Certain factors influenced >50% of respondents towards recommending cHSCT (either an increased likelihood of recommending or always recommending), including preinfusion disease burden >25%, primary refractory B-ALL, M3 bone marrow following reinduction for relapse, KMT2A-rearranged B-ALL, history of blinatumomab nonresponse, and HSCT-naive status. Most respondents indicated they would pursue HSCT for HSCT-naive, total body irradiation (TBI) recipients with BCR before 6 months post-tisa-cel or with NGS positivity at 1 or 3 months post-tisa-cel, although there was variability in responses regarding whether to proceed to HSCT directly or provide intervening therapy prior to HSCT. Fewer respondents recommended HSCT for BCR or NGS positivity in patients with a history of HSCT, in noncandidates for TBI, and in patients with trisomy 21. The results of this survey indicate there exists significant practice variability regarding the use of cHSCT, as well as interventions for post-tisa-cel BCR or NGS positivity. These results highlight areas in which ongoing clinical trials could inform more standardized practice.

    Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell (CAR-T) therapy has emerged as a revolutionary cancer treatment modality, particularly in children and young adults with B cell malignancies. Through clinical trials and real-world experience, much has been learned about the unique toxicity profile of CAR-T therapy. The past decade brought advances in identifying risk factors for severe inflammatory toxicities, investigating preventive measures to mitigate these toxicities, and exploring novel strategies to manage refractory and newly described toxicities, infectious risks, and delayed effects, such as cytopenias. Although much progress has been made, areas needing further improvements remain. Limited guidance exists regarding initial administration of tocilizumab with or without steroids and the management of inflammatory toxicities refractory to these treatments. There has not been widespread adoption of preventive strategies to mitigate inflammation in patients at high risk of severe toxicities, particularly children. Additionally, the majority of research related to CAR-T toxicity prevention and management has focused on adult populations, with only a few pediatric-specific studies published to date. Given that children and young adults undergoing CAR-T therapy represent a unique population with different underlying disease processes, physiology, and tolerance of toxicities than adults, it is important that studies be conducted to evaluate acute, delayed, and long-term toxicities following CAR-T therapy in this younger age group. In this pediatric-focused review, we summarize key findings on CAR-T therapy-related toxicities over the past decade, highlight emergent CAR-T toxicities, and identify areas of greatest need for ongoing research.

    Abstract Purpose: Infections pose a significant risk during therapy for childhood cancer. However, little is known about the risk of infection in long-term survivors of childhood cancer.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective observational study of children and adolescents born in Washington State diagnosed with cancer before age 20 years and who survived at least 5 years after diagnosis. Survivors were categorized as having a hematologic or nonhematologic malignancy and were matched to individuals without cancer in the state birth records by birth year and sex with a comparator:survivor ratio of 10:1. The primary outcome was incidence of any infection associated with a hospitalization using diagnostic codes from state hospital discharge records. Incidence was reported as a rate (IR) per 1,000 person-years. Multivariate Poisson regression was used to calculate incidence rate ratios (IRR) for cancer survivors versus comparators.
    Results: On the basis of 382 infection events among 3,152 survivors and 771 events among 31,519 comparators, the IR of all hospitalized infections starting 5 years after cancer diagnosis was 12.6 (95% CI, 11.4 to 13.9) and 2.4 (95% CI, 2.3 to 2.6), respectively, with an IRR 5.1 (95% CI, 4.5 to 5.8). The survivor IR during the 5- to 10-year (18.1, 95% CI, 15.9 to 20.5) and > 10-year postcancer diagnosis (8.3, 95% CI, 7.0 to 9.7) periods remained greater than comparison group IRs for the same time periods (2.3, 95% CI, 2.1 to 2.6 and 2.5, 95% CI, 2.3 to 2.8, respectively). When potentially vaccine-preventable infections were evaluated, survivors had a greater risk of infection relative to comparators (IRR, 13.1; 95% CI, 7.2 to 23.9).
    Conclusion: Infectious complications continue to affect survivors of childhood cancer many years after initial diagnosis. Future studies are needed to better understand immune reconstitution to determine specific factors that may mitigate this risk.

    Abstract Background: Suboptimal adherence to 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) is prevalent in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and associated with increased risk of relapse. Rapid uptake of personal technology makes mobile health (mHealth) an attractive platform to promote adherence.
    Objective: Study objectives were to examine access to mobile technology and preferences for an mHealth intervention to improve medication adherence in pediatric ALL.
    Methods: A cross-sectional survey was administered in oncology clinic to parents of children with ALL as well as adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with ALL receiving maintenance chemotherapy.
    Results: A total of 49 parents (median age [IQR] 39 [33-42] years; female 76% [37/49]) and 15 patients (median age [IQR] 17 [16-19]; male 80% [12/15]) participated. All parents and AYAs owned electronic tablets, smartphones, or both. Parents' most endorsed mHealth app features included a list of medications (71%, 35/49), information about 6-MP (71%, 35/49), refill reminders (71%, 35/49), and reminders to take 6-MP (71%, 35/49). AYAs' most endorsed features included refill reminders (73%, 11/15), reminders to take 6-MP (73%, 11/15), and tracking 6-MP (73%, 11/15).
    Conclusions: Parents and AYAs reported ubiquitous access to mobile technology and strong interest in multiple adherence-specific mHealth app features. Parents and AYAs provided valuable insight into preferred features for a multifunctional behavioral intervention (mHealth app) to promote medication adherence in pediatric ALL.

    Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)-like toxicities (LTs) involving hyperferritinemia, multiorgan dysfunction, coagulopathy, and/or hemophagocytosis are described as occurring in a subset of patients with cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Case series report poor outcomes for those with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) who develop HLH-LTs, although larger outcomes analyses of children and young adults (CAYAs) with B-ALL who develop these toxicities after the administration of commercially available tisagenlecleucel are not described. Using a multi-institutional database of 185 CAYAs with B-ALL, we conducted a retrospective cohort study including groups that developed HLH-LTs, high-grade (HG) CRS without HLH-LTs, or no to low-grade (NLG) CRS without HLH-LTs. Primary objectives included characterizing the incidence, outcomes, and preinfusion factors associated with HLH-LTs. Among 185 CAYAs infused with tisagenlecleucel, 26 (14.1%) met the criteria for HLH-LTs. One-year overall survival and relapse-free survival were 25.7% and 4.7%, respectively, in those with HLH-LTs compared with 80.1% and 57.6%, respectively, in those without. In multivariable analysis for death, meeting criteria for HLH-LTs carried a hazard ratio of 4.61 (95% confidence interval, 2.41-8.83), controlling for disease burden, age, and sex. Patients who developed HLH-LTs had higher pretisagenlecleucel disease burden, ferritin, and C-reactive protein levels and lower platelet and absolute neutrophil counts than patients with HG- or NLG-CRS without HLH-LTs. Overall, CAYAs with B-ALL who developed HLH-LTs after tisagenlecleucel experienced high rates of relapse and nonrelapse mortality, indicating the urgent need for further investigations into prevention and optimal management of patients who develop HLH-LTs after tisagenlecleucel.

    Abstract Background: Tisagenlecleucel was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2017 for refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and B-ALL in ≥2nd relapse. Outcomes of patients receiving commercial tisagenlecleucel upon 1st relapse have yet to be established. We aimed to report real-world tisagenlecleucel utilisation patterns and outcomes across indications, specifically including patients treated in 1st relapse, an indication omitted from formal FDA approval.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of real-world tisagenlecleucel utilisation patterns across 185 children and young adults treated between August 30, 2017 and March 6, 2020 from centres participating in the Pediatric Real-World CAR Consortium (PRWCC), within the United States. We described definitions of refractory B-ALL used in the real-world setting and categorised patients by reported Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell indication, including refractory, 1st relapse and ≥2nd relapse B-ALL. We analysed baseline patient characteristics and post-tisagenlecleucel outcomes across defined cohorts.
    Findings: Thirty-six percent (n = 67) of our cohort received tisagenlecleucel following 1st relapse. Of 66 evaluable patients, 56 (85%, 95% CI 74-92%) achieved morphologic complete response. Overall-survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) at 1-year were 69%, (95% CI 58-82%) and 49%, (95% CI 37-64%), respectively, with survival outcomes statistically comparable to remaining patients (OS;
    Interpretation: Our findings suggested that tisagenlecleucel response and survival rates overlap across patients treated with upfront refractory B-ALL, B-ALL ≥2nd relapse and B-ALL in 1st relapse. We additionally highlighted that definitions of refractory B-ALL are evolving beyond morphologic measures of residual disease.

    Abstract Background: Adherence to oral chemotherapy, including 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), is suboptimal in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), which is associated with increased risk of relapse. Study objectives were to examine self-reported adherence to 6-MP and related barriers to adherence, mapped to the capability, opportunity, motivation, and behavior (COM-B) model for behavior change.
    Procedure: Forty-nine parents (median, 39 years old; 76% females) and 15 patients (median, 17 years old, 20% females) completed the study survey.
    Results: Suboptimal adherence was reported in 43% of parents and 73% of patients. Most parents and patients (80% and 90%, respectively) reported ≥1 adherence barrier. Parents reported difficulty helping their child meet others with ALL (43%), contacting community organizations (39%), and meeting other parents (37%). Patients reported difficulty finding out what their medications are (40%), finding out what 6-MP does (47%), and meeting other patients (40%). Using the COM-B, we found that parents and patients endorsed barriers in multiple components, especially physical (55%, 67%) and social opportunity (56%, 47%), highlighting that barriers to adherence may be multifaceted.
    Conclusions: Our results suggest that parents and patients with ALL face various prevalent barriers to medication adherence and provide insight into the development of behavioral interventions focused on promoting adherence, which is essential to prevent relapse and optimize health outcomes in ALL.

    Abstract Ponatinib has proven to be effective in adults with Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukaemias, but data in paediatrics are scarce. Among paediatric patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia (n = 9) or acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (n = 12) treated with varying doses of ponatinib in 13 centres, 71% showed a decrease in disease burden after a median of three months. Ponatinib was well tolerated, with grade 3 toxicities occurring in 29% of patients. Toxicities were similar to those reported in adults, with the exception of arterial thrombotic events, which were not observed.
