    Abstract Multiple myeloma is characterized by a wide clinical heterogeneity due to an intricate network of interactions between bone marrow-resident clonal plasma cells and the microenvironment. Over the last years, dramatic improvement in the understanding of these pathways led to the introduction of novel drugs with immune-mediated mechanisms of action. Some of these compounds, such as the anti-cd38 daratumumab and isatuximab, the anti-slamf-7 elotuzumab, and the antibody-drug conjugate belantamab-mafodotin, have been tested in large clinical trials and have now fully entered the real-life management. The bispecific T-cell engagers are under investigation with promising results, and other satisfactory data is expected from the application of nanotechnologies. The perfect timing to introduce these drugs in the sequence of treatment and their adverse events represent new challenges to be addressed, and further experience is required to improve their use.

    Abstract Over the last 2 years, different cases of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in patients affected by SARS-CoV2 have been reported. The management of SARS-CoV2 in subjects with simultaneous or previous ITP can be challenging because of the great involvement of the haemostatic system in this viral infection. In this report, we describe the management and outcome of patients with newly diagnosed (ND), chronic and previous ITP, infected by COVID-19, referred to the Haematology Institute of University Hospital Policlinico Umberto I in Rome. Steroids + immunoglobulins for ND or relapsed ITP and continuation of home therapy for chronic ITP are advised, although further knowledge is required.

    Abstract Venous thromboembolism is a common complication of patients with hematologic malignancies, due both to release of procoagulant factors by tumor cells and to external factors, such us drugs. In multiple myeloma patients, the risk is increased by use of immunomodulants, especially when associated to multidrug therapy, during the induction phase. Prevention of venous thromboembolism in myeloma patients is highly recommended but specific guidelines are still lacking. The most common approach is to stratify the thrombotic risk according to individual, myeloma-related and therapy-related risk factors and to use aspirin for all patients, except those with two or more thrombotic risk factors who should be treated with traditional oral or parenteral anticoagulant. A more controversial approach indicates for prophylaxis either anticoagulant or aspirin, regardless of risk stratification. Recent trials investigate prophylaxis in myeloma patients with direct oral anticoagulants, based on studies showing efficacy and safety of this new class of drugs in the treatment and prophylaxis of thrombosis in patients with any malignancy. The results of these trials are encouraging but they need to be confirmed by larger studies. An international consensus about best prophylaxis to prevent venous thromboembolism in patients with multiple myeloma on treatment is still missing. Therefore, thrombosis in multiple myeloma remains an ongoing issue.

    Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common leukemia in adults. In spite of the most recent discoveries about the molecular landscape of this disease, the treatment of elderly and unfit young patients continues to be a great challenge. The hypomethylating agents (HMA) still represent an effective therapeutic option for these categories, especially for the low-risk subgroups. We report the case of a young patient with NPM1mut-AML who underwent a first cycle of intensive induction treatment, achieving a complete remission, but suffered from a serious life-threatening neurologic toxicity. Due to the ineligibility to further lines of intensive chemotherapy, we decided to consolidate the response with azacitidine, administered according to the regular schedule. The minimal residual disease (MRD), monitored through the NPM1 mutation at diagnosis, progressively decreased and became undetectable after 36 cycles of hypomethylating therapy. After 1 year from discontinuation of azacitidine, MRD remains undetectable. Therefore, HMA might still represent a feasible and effective option for patients with low-risk AML, especially when the standard chemotherapy is not indicated, or as maintenance therapy in nontransplantable patients.

    Abstract Treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) patients has radically changed over the last years following the introduction of next generation proteasome inhibitors (PI) and immunomodulatory derivative (IMiDs). In the last years, one further therapeutic option for MM patients is represented by monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs), that seem to change the paradigm of MM treatment, particularly for heavily pretreated or double refractory to a PI and IMiDs patients. Antibodies have an immune-based mechanism, induce durable responses with limited toxicity and combine well with existing therapies. The therapeutic effects are prevalently obtained by means of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis (ADCP), complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and concurrently by the induction of signals on cell effectors. Immunotherapeutic strategies offer a new and exciting approach to target key molecular pathways that continue to be implicated in the survival of malignant plasma cells. These targets include cell surface proteins (CD38, CD138 [SDC1], B cell maturation antigen [BCMA, TNFRSF17]), cytokines that play a role in plasma cell survival and proliferation (interleukin 6 [IL6] and B cell activating factor), signal regulators of bone metabolism (RANKL [TNFSF11], DKK1) and regulators of the immune system (PD-1[PDCD1], PD-L1[CD274]). This article focuses on new MoAbs and related innovative immunotherapeutic modalities currently under investigation in the treatment landscape of MM.

    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 The anticoagulant treatment for patients with hematologic malignancies is low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), which is considered the safest in this particular patients setting. Although direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have proven their efficacy and safety in patients with cancer, their use can be challenging in patients with hematologic malignancies due to the peculiarity of these neoplasms: high thrombotic risk, possible onset of thrombocytopenia and concomitant anticancer therapies. The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DOACs for venous thromboembolism or atrial fibrillation in patients with hematologic malignancies and plasmatic DOACs level during anticancer therapy and at time of bleeding or thrombotic complications. We evaluated patients with hematologic malignancies treated with DOACs for venous thromboembolism or atrial fibrillation-therapy was maintained until the platelet count was ≥50 × 10

    Abstract Bone involvement in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is rare. The differential diagnosis between HL bone localization and other malignant or benign skeletal diseases is challenging. We report the case of a girl affected by classic HL, initially staged IVA because of supradiaphragmatic lymph nodes and skeletal involvement. After 6 ABVD (adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine) cycles, positron emission tomography (PET) showed a complete metabolic response of the nodal localizations and a persistent, high metabolic activity of bone lesions. Salvage treatment followed by autologous stem cell transplant was carried out. After the transplant, the bone lesions maintained a high metabolic activity at PET. A targeted bone biopsy led to the diagnosis of a fibrous dysplasia excluding the presence of HL. To our knowledge, the concomitant presence of HL and fibrous dysplasia has not been previously reported. An in-depth evaluation of disease response to frontline treatment with a biopsy of the PET-hypercaptant bone lesions could have avoided overtreatment in this patient.
