    Abstract Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is a highly aggressive malignant tumor associated with a poor prognosis. We herein report a 63-year-old man who was newly diagnosed with aggressive ATL. He was treated with brentuximab vedotin (BV) plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (A+CHP therapy), along with intrathecal chemotherapy using methotrexate and cytarabine. After achieving remission, he was placed on maintenance therapy with BV in the outpatient setting every 21 days for 17 months, without relapse. We suggest that initial treatment with A+CHP therapy and BV maintenance therapy may be beneficial against strongly CD30-expressing ATL.

    Abstract Several vaccines have been developed for coronavirus disease 2019 - caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) - in record time. A few cases of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination have been reported. We herein report a 90-year-old man who received the Pfizer-BioNTech SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (BNT162b2) and developed severe thrombocytopenia with intracranial hemorrhaging and duodenal bleeding, consistent with vaccine-related ITP. He was successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulin, prednisolone, and eltrombopag and discharged without cytopenia. Vaccine-related ITP should be suspected in patients presenting with abnormal bleeding or purpura after vaccination.

    Abstract Chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is primarily diagnosed by excluding myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). We report the case of a patient who developed secondary CNL 3 years after hypoplastic MDS. We used droplet digital polymerase chain reaction mutation detection assay to analyze genomic alterations during the progression from MDS to CNL. At the time of MDS diagnosis, U2AF1 Q157P and SETBP1 D868N were dominant and additional mutation of ASXL1 1934_insG was observed. CSF3R T618I and SETBP1 D868N were increasing at the time of CNL diagnosis. We revealed the accumulation of multiple gene mutations during CNL development from MDS. This suggests that CNL was clonally developed from the founding clone of MDS and CSF3R mutation contributes to the development of CNL in the present case. These findings provide insights into the pathology of CNL.

    Abstract Background/aim: The combination of venetoclax (VEN) and azacitidine (AZA) (VEN+AZA) leads to higher complete remission rates and longer overall survival (OS) in patients with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are ineligible for intensive combination chemotherapy. In practice, the doses of VEN and AZA are reduced at the attending physician's discretion to avoid adverse events; however, the impact of dose and duration reductions has not been fully clarified. We analyzed whether the efficacy was maintained with reduced VEN+AZA compared to AZA monotherapy in the real world.
    Patients and methods: A total of 33 patients were included; 17 (10 newly diagnosed, 7 primary refractory or relapsed) received VEN+AZA, and 16 (7 newly diagnosed, 9 primary refractory or relapsed) received AZA. We analyzed complete remission (CR) and CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) rates, OS, and the incidence of adverse events.
    Results: CR/CRi were achieved in 7/17 (41.2%) and 11/17 (64.7%) patients in the VEN+AZA group and 0/15 (0%) and 2/15 (6.7%) patients in the AZA group, respectively. The CR/CRi rate was higher in the VEN+AZA group than in the AZA group (p=0.001). OS was longer in the VEN+AZA group than in the AZA group (p=0.03), with a median of 506 days [95% confidence interval (CI)=234-585 days] and 208 days (95% CI=52-343 days), respectively.
    Conclusion: The doses of the VEN+AZA combination were reduced at the attending physician's discretion, resulting in a higher CR/CRi rate and longer OS than AZA monotherapy and is considered useful for AML in the real world.

    Abstract There are no reports of blood triglyceride (TG) levels increasing with the ABVD regimen. Herein, we present a case of Hodgkin's lymphoma that exhibited ABVD-induced blood TG increase. The patient was a 40-year-old Japanese man. Empiric therapy was initiated using the ABVD regimen for Hodgkin lymphoma. On day 58, the fasting blood TG concentration increased to 1,451 mg/dL. Since no adverse events were noted, 0.2 mg/day of pemafibrate was administered, and the ABVD regimen was continued. Blood TG levels should be periodically monitored during ABVD administration for the patients who are at high risk of increased blood TG levels.

    Abstract There are no clear criteria for selecting elderly patients with hematologic malignancies eligible for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This study aimed to evaluate inflammatory and nutritional status biomarkers as prognostic indicators of allogeneic HSCT in elderly patients. We compared the prognostic effects of 4 representative pretransplantation biomarkers: C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR), Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR). A total of 143 patients age ≥60 years who underwent their first allogeneic HSCT for a hematologic malignancy were enrolled between 2010 and 2020 in our single-center cohort. The median patient age was 65 years (range, 60 to 72 years). Pretransplantation high CAR, high GPS, and low PNI scores were associated with poor overall survival (OS), but the AGR was not associated with OS. Among the 4 biomarkers, CAR stratified OS most significantly (P < .001). Multivariate analyses identified only high CAR as an independent prognostic factor associated with OS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.98; P = .031) and showed that a Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Specific Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) score ≥3 also was associated with OS (HR, 2.04; P = .012). High CAR was correlated with poor performance status, male sex, and high Disease Risk Index, but not with high HCT-CI score. When the patients were stratified into 3 groups according to a composite risk assessment using CAR and HCT-CI, the 3-year OS decreased significantly with increasing scores (82.8%, 50.3%, and 27.0%, respectively; P < .0001). In conclusion, CAR is the most useful prognostic indicator among the inflammatory and nutritional status biomarkers for allogeneic HSCT in elderly patients. Inflammatory and nutritional status in the elderly may be important prognostic factors for allogeneic HSCT independent of HCT-CI score.

    Abstract As antibiotic resistance has become a global problem, the intervention of an antimicrobial stewardship team (AST) is warranted. In hematological disorders, infectious complications are crucial owing to abnormal neutrophil function and decreased cell-mediated immunity. Despite the widespread implementation of AST intervention, the effectiveness of stewardship practices for immunocompromised patients remains uncertain. We determined the effect of AST interventions on carbapenem therapy in the department of hematology. Patients admitted to the department and undergoing carbapenem therapy were enrolled. We compared carbapenem use between the pre-AST (April 2016-March 2018) and post-AST (April 2018-March 2021) periods. Factors associated with long-term carbapenem therapy were investigated. Overall, 515 episodes of carbapenem therapy in 264 patients in the department were evaluated. According to the interrupted time series analysis, the number of days of therapy decreased with AST intervention (β = -0.263,

    Abstract Inflammatory cytokines play a role in hematopoiesis and development of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Although increased serum levels of inflammatory cytokines are associated with poor survival in MDS patients, clinical management does not include assessment of inflammation. We investigated the significance of inflammation in MDS using serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, an indicator of the degree of systemic inflammation that can be used in routine practice. We hypothesized that serum CRP levels can be used to further classify low-risk MDS. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 90 patients with low-risk MDS, defined by the international prognostic scoring system (IPSS). We examined the prognostic relevance of CRP and known prognostic factors at diagnosis. Increased serum CRP (≥ 0.58 mg/dL) was associated with poor survival (hazard ratio [HR]: 17.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.83-53.28, P < 0.001) both overall and among the 73 patients with low-risk MDS as defined by the revised IPSS (HR: 28.05, 95% CI 6.15-128.04, P < 0.001). Increased CRP might predict poor prognosis and serum CRP levels can indicate clonal hematopoiesis and non-hematological comorbidity in patients with low-risk MDS.
