    Abstract With advances in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT), disease relapse has replaced transplant-related mortality as the primary cause of treatment failure for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The efficacy of allo-HCT in AML is a consequence of a graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect that is mediated by T lymphocytes, and unique mechanisms of immune evasion underlying post-allo-HCT AML relapses have recently been characterized. Relapsed AML following allo-HCT presents a particularly vexing clinical challenge because transplant-related toxicities, such as graft-versus-host (GVHD) and infections, increase the risk of treatment-related morbidity and mortality. In general, the prognosis of relapsed AML following allo-HCT is poor with most patients failing to achieve a subsequent remission and 2-year survival consistently <15%. The two factors that have been found to predict a better prognosis are a longer duration of post-transplant remission prior to relapse and a lower disease burden at the time of relapse. When considered in combination with a patient's age; co-morbidities; and performance status, these factors can help to inform the appropriate therapy for the treatment of post-transplant relapse. This review discusses the options for the treatment of post-transplant AML relapse with a focus on the options to achieve a subsequent remission and consolidation with cellular immunotherapy, such as a second transplant or donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI). While intensive reinduction therapy and less intensive approaches with hypomethylating agents have long represented the two primary options for the initial treatment of post-transplant relapse, molecularly targeted therapies and immunotherapy are emerging as potential alternative options to achieve remission. Herein, we highlight response and survival outcomes achieved specifically in the post-transplant setting using each of these approaches and discuss how some therapies may overcome the immunologic mechanisms that have been implicated in post-transplant relapse. As long-term survival in post-transplant relapse necessarily involves consolidation with cellular immunotherapy, we present data on the efficacy and toxicity of both DLI and second allo-HCT including when such therapies are integrated with reinduction. Finally, we provide our general approach to the treatment of post-transplant relapse, integrating both novel therapies and our improved understanding of the mechanisms underlying post-transplant relapse.

    Abstract Although DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTis), such as azacitidine and decitabine, are used extensively in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia, there remain unanswered questions about DNMTi's mechanism of action and predictors of clinical response. Because patients often remain on single-agent DNMTis or DNMTi-containing regimens for several months before knowing whether clinical benefit can be achieved, the development and clinical validation of response-predictive biomarkers represents an important unmet need in oncology. In this review, we will summarize the clinical studies that led to the approval of azacitidine and decitabine, as well as the real-world experience with these drugs. We will then focus on biomarker development for DNMTis-specifically, efforts at determining exposure-response relationships and challenges that remain impacting the broader clinical translation of these methods. We will highlight recent progress in liquid-chromatography tandem mass spectrometry technology that has allowed for the simultaneous measurement of decitabine genomic incorporation and global DNA methylation, which has significant potential as a mechanism-of-action based biomarker in patients on DNMTis. Last, we will cover important research questions that need to be addressed in order to optimize this potential biomarker for clinical use.

    Abstract Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapies are rapidly evolving with novel targeted therapies showing high-level responses in a notoriously difficult to treat group of patients - the elderly and unfit. This review will examine the outcomes of older AML patients (>60 years old) with conventional induction strategies, and published literature on risks of pursuit of induction. Low-intensity combination therapy response rates appear to be approaching that of induction regimens, and with lower toxicity, low-intensity therapy likely represents the future standard approach in this age group. Lastly, allogeneic transplant appears to have a role in increasing durable remissions regardless of age and should be considered in patients with limited comorbidities.

    Abstract While digital health solutions continue to grow in number and in complexity, the ability for stakeholders in healthcare to easily discern quality lags far behind. This challenge is in part due to the lack of a transparent and standardized approach to validation. Evaluation of mobile health applications (apps) is further burdened by low barriers to development and direct-to-user marketing, leading to a crowded and confusing landscape. In this context, we investigated the pragmatic application of a previously described framework for digital health validation, the Digital Health Scorecard, in a cohort of 22 popular mobile health oncology apps. The apps evaluated using this framework performed poorly, scoring 49.4% across all evaluation criteria as a group. Performance across component domains varied considerably with cost scoring highest at 100%, usability at 56.7%, technical at 37.3%, and clinical at 15.9%. satisfaction of prospectively determined end-user requirements derived from patient, family, and clinician consensus scored 37.2%. While cost outperformed consistently and usability was adequate, the results also suggested that apps suffered from significant technical limitations, were of limited clinical value, and generally did not do what end users wanted. These large gaps further support the need for transparent and standardized evaluation to help all stakeholders in healthcare improve the quality of mobile health.

    Abstract The combination of venetoclax and hypomethylating agent (HMA/venetoclax) has emerged as a treatment option for patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are unfit to receive intensive chemotherapy. In this single-center retrospective study, we evaluated clinical outcomes following treatment with HMA/venetoclax in 35 patients with advanced myeloproliferative neoplasms, myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm overlap syndromes or AML with extramedullary disease. The composite complete remission (CR) rate (including confirmed/presumed complete cytogenetic response, acute leukemia response-complete, CR and CR with incomplete hematologic recovery) was 42.9% with median overall survival (OS) of 9.7 months. Complex karyotype was associated with inferior median OS (3.7 versus 12.2 months;

    Abstract Purpose: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) patients can achieve undetectable minimal residual disease (UMRD) and discontinue tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Cellular immunity plays an important role in CML disease control. We conducted a randomized, non-blinded phase II trial of adjuvant immunotherapy with TKIs to facilitate TKI discontinuation.
    Methods: TKI-treated patients with CP-CML were randomized to receive the K562/GM-CSF vaccine (vaccine) OR Interferon-α + Sargramostim (IFN). If UMRD was achieved, then all treatment was stopped. Patients who did not achieve UMRD within one year, had a molecular relapse, or discontinued therapy for toxicity could crossover.
    Results: Thirty-four patients were randomized to IFN (n = 18) or vaccine (n = 16), and 21 patients crossed over (IFN⟶vaccine: n = 9, vaccine⟶IFN, n = 12). TKIs at enrollment included imatinib (n = 31), nilotinib (n = 2), and dasatinib (n = 1). No patients discontinued vaccine due to side effects, while 33 % of IFN-treated patients discontinued treatment. More patients randomized to IFN (47.4 %, 95 % CI: 16.7-66.7 %) versus vaccine (25.0 %, 95 % CI: 0.5-43.5 %) achieved UMRD within one year. Seven patients randomized to IFN discontinued treatment with 28.6 % (95 % CI: 8.9-92.2 %) sustaining treatment-free remission (TFR) at 1 year, while three patients randomized to vaccine discontinued treatment with none sustaining TFR. Including crossover, there was a cumulative discontinuation success rate of 36.4 % (95 % CI: 16.6 %-79.5 %) after adjuvant IFN. Patients who sustained TFR received a median of 29 months of imatinib prior to discontinuation.
    Conclusion: Adjuvant IFN led to durable TFRs with limited prior TKI exposure with comparable success to prior discontinuation trials, but many patients stopped IFN early.
