    Abstract Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) are well-recognized complications of bone marrow and solid organ transplantation, comprising a heterogenous group of lymphoproliferations with a spectrum of morphologic, phenotypic and molecular features. Although PTLDs are usually Epstein-Barr virus-driven B-cell lymphoproliferations, T/natural killer-cell lymphoproliferations, multiple myeloma, and Hodgkin's lymphoma are also recognized as part of the PTLD spectrum. Hairy cell leukemia, a low-grade B-cell lymphoproliferation, has not been recognized as part of the PTLD spectrum. We report the first case of hairy cell leukemia occurring after cardiac transplantation. It is unclear whether this case, similar to other cases of low-grade B-cell lymphoproliferations reported after transplantation, is related to immunosuppression and therefore part of the spectrum of PTLDs, or merely represents coincidental event occurring in an immunocompromised patient.

    Abstract Objectives: To test the feasibility of a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of aspirin and/or vitamin D3 in active surveillance (AS) low/favourable intermediate risk prostate cancer (PCa) patients with Prolaris® testing.
    Patients and methods: Newly-diagnosed low/favourable intermediate risk PCa patients (PSA ≤ 15 ng/ml, International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) Grade Group ≤2, maximum biopsy core length <10 mm, clinical stage ≤cT2c) were recruited into a multi-centre randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (ISRCTN91422391, NCT03103152). Participants were randomised to oral low dose (100 mg), standard dose (300 mg) aspirin or placebo and/or vitamin D3 (4000 IU) versus placebo in a 3 × 2 factorial RCT design with biopsy tissue Prolaris® testing. The primary endpoint was trial acceptance/entry rates. Secondary endpoints included feasibility of Prolaris® testing, 12-month disease re-assessment (imaging/biochemical/histological), and 12-month treatment adherence/safety. Disease progression was defined as any of the following (i) 50% increase in baseline PSA, (ii) new Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) 4/5 lesion(s) on multi-parametric MRI where no previous lesion, (iii) 33% volume increase in lesion size, or radiological upstaging to ≥T3, (iv) ISUP Grade Group upgrade or (v) 50% increase in maximum cancer core length.
    Results: Of 130 eligible patients, 104 (80%) accepted recruitment from seven sites over 12 months, of which 94 patients represented the per protocol population receiving treatment. Prolaris® testing was performed on 76/94 (81%) diagnostic biopsies. Twelve-month disease progression rate was 43.3%. Assessable 12-month treatment adherence in non-progressing patients to aspirin and vitamin D across all treatment arms was 91%. Two drug-attributable serious adverse events in 1 patient allocated to aspirin were identified. The study was not designed to determine differences between treatment arms.
    Conclusion: Recruitment of AS PCa patients into a multi-centre multi-arm placebo-controlled RCT of minimally-toxic adjunctive oral drug treatments with molecular biomarker profiling is acceptable and safe. A larger phase III study is needed to determine optimal agents, intervention efficacy, and outcome-associated biomarkers.

    Abstract Background: Quilty lesions are mononuclear cell infiltrates identified in human heart transplant biopsies. The biologic significance of Quilty lesions remains undetermined.
    Methods: We monitored acute rejection by biopsy and lymphocyte growth assay (LGA) as well as transplant-related coronary artery disease (TRCAD) by yearly angiogram in 285 recipients of primary heart allografts. Patients showing Quilty lesions on biopsies during the first year posttransplant were compared with patients without such lesions. Recipients' sera were obtained at the time of biopsy and tested for anti-HLA Class I and II antibodies.
    Results: The actuarial survival of patients who developed Quilty lesions was significantly better than those who did not (P=.0074). Patients with Quilty lesions were younger and more likely to have a biopsy diagnosis of acute rejection (P=.002) and positive LGA (P<.0001) during the first posttransplant year. Among patients who do not form anti-HLA Class II antibodies, those with Quilty lesions were more likely than patients without Quilty lesions to develop TRCAD 5 years posttransplantation (P=.04). There was no correlation of Quilty status with the number of HLA donor-recipient mismatches or posttransplant development of anti-HLA antibodies.
    Conclusions: Quilty formers showed improved survival and are more likely to be diagnosed with acute rejection on biopsy and have positive LGAs. Allograft recipients who do not form anti-HLA Class II antibodies but do form Quilty lesions are more likely to develop TRCAD by 5 years posttransplantation than those who do not form Quilty lesions.
