Urinary minimal residual disease detection predicts recurrence in BCG-unresponsive NIMBC and quantifies molecular response to nadofaragene firadenovec (AUA 2024)
uMRD enables quantitative assessment of molecular response to drug treatment. uMRD-determined pre-treatment disease burden assessment can support stratification of control and intervention arms in future treatment trials.

Real-World Experience of Ropeginterferon-Alfa Treatment of PV and ET - Two Centers Experience (ASH 2023)
Prior to ropeginterferon-alfa, the participants were managed with therapeutic phlebotomies, or cytoreduced with either hydroxyurea, pegylated interferon-alpha 2a ( Pegasys), JAK2 inhibitors, or were newly diagnosed and previously untreated. Ropeginterferon-alfa is effective in PV and ET, however, the dose that achieves CHR is highly individualized, necessitating an incremental titration approach. The patients already in CHR from prior therapy needed relatively lower doses of ropeginterferon-alfa to maintain CHR. Clinical trials are ongoing with an alternate accelerated dosing scheme and results are awaited.

Novel immunotherapeutic options for BCG-unresponsive high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Med)
Three drugs-pembrolizumab, valrubicin, and most recently, nadofaragene firadenovec-vncg-have been FDA approved for the treatment of BCG-unresponsive NMIBC in patients who are ineligible for or decline RC. Despite the challenges faced in finding effective therapies, many potential treatments are currently under investigation. Addressing the landscape of biomarkers, mechanisms of progression, BCG resistance, and trial design challenges in HR-NMIBC is essential for the discovery of new targets and the development of effective treatments.

EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF XALNESIRAN COMBINATION THERAPIES WITH AND WITHOUT AN IMMUNOMODULATOR IN VIROLOGICALLYSUPPRESSED PARTICIPANTS WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS B: PRIMARY ENDPOINT RESULTS FROM THE PHASE 2, RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED, ADAPTIVE, OPEN-LABEL PLATFORM STUDY (PIRANGA) (AASLD 2023)
Here, we report the primary endpoint results of xalnesiran, a small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) targeting the HBsAg coding region of the HBV genome (RO7445482, RG6346) in combination with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NUC), with or without an immunomodulator: pegylated interferon alfa-2a (Peg-IFN-α, Pegasys®), or ruzotolimod (toll-like receptor 7 agonist, RO7020531, RG7854). Xalnesiran combination therapies of 48 wks treatment duration were generally safe and well tolerated. Higher HBsAg loss rates were observed when xalnesiran was combined with an immunomodulator (PegIFN-α or ruzotolimod).

Impact on survival of interferon-alpha delivery in glioblastoma with unmethylated MGMT by immuno-gene therapy with Temferon (SNO 2023)
The other four patients with 2 year follow-up were treated with Gamma-Knife followed by bevacizumab (n = 1), regorafenib followed by bevacizumab (n = 1) and bevacizumab only (n = 2). These data corroborate the initial evidence on safety and tolerability of Temferon. They also suggest that Temferon has potential to counteract disease progression in patients affected by uMGMT GBM.

EFFICACY OF INTRAVESICAL NADOFARAGENE FIRADENOVEC FOR PATIENTS WITH BCG-UNRESPONSIVE CARCINOMA IN SITU OF THE BLADDER: 36-MONTH FOLLOW-UP FROM A PHASE 3 TRIAL (SUO 2023)
Intravesical nadofaragene firadenovec, administered once every three months, demonstrated a sustained durability of response in patients with BCG-unresponsive CIS±Ta/T1 papillary disease. Nadofaragene firadenovec represents a novel treatment option for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with a favorable benefit-to-risk ratio. *All patients had passed 36 months at data cutoff on 09 September 2021.

MACROPHAGES-BASED IMMUNOTHERAPY OF SOLID TUMORS MICROENVIRONMENT: THE TEM-GBM STUDY (NCT03866109) (EANO 2023)
The comparison of the overall ISGs expression at first surgery and second surgery highlighted the activation of IFN-responsive genes at second surgery suggesting the occurrence of the local delivery within the TME of biologically active IFN-a. CONCLUSION The results provide initial evidence of Temferon’s potential to modulate the TME of GBM patients.

Genetic Engineering of Hematopoietic Progenitor Stem Cells for Targeted IFN-α Immunotherapy Reprogramming the Solid Tumor Microenvironment: A First-in-Man Study in Glioblastoma Multiforme (NCT03866109) (ASH 2023)
Autologous CD34+ HSPC are mobilized with lenograstim and plerixafor, collected by apheresis, purified and ex vivo modified with a lentiviral vector. So far, up to 3 million Temferon cells/kg have been co-administered with a fixed dose of non-manipulated CD34+ supporter cells following a sub-myeloablative conditioning regimen (Thiotepa + BCNU or Busulfan or Busulfan alone)... These data show that Temferon is safe and biologically active at the tumor site and favors anti-tumor immunity. The results provide initial evidence of Temferon's potential to modulate the TME of GBM patients and to counteract disease progression and improve the survival of uMGMT GBM patients.

Expression and purification of human interferon alpha 2a (IFNα2a) in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. (PubMed, Protein Expr Purif)
The biological activity of the P. pastoris-produced IFNα2a was confirmed in A549 and HT29 cells by monitoring transcriptional up-regulation of a panel of known interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Our results document that the P. pastoris expression system is a suitable system for producing biologically functional IFNα2a in a secreted form.

Successful CAR-T Cell Treatment of JAK1/2 Inhibitor Treatment Induced DLBCL (EHA-EBMT-CART 2023)
Ruxolitinib was discontinued and the patient received two cycles of RR-EPOCH, four cycles of R-COMP and lenalidomide. While this treatment resulted in complete metabolic response, the patient was deemed eligible for CAR-T cell treatment by the lymphoma-board, because of the high-risk features of this lymphoma (immunosuppression associated, high IPI score and double expressor score of 2).After bridging with polatuzumab-vedotin-bendamustin, the patient received axicabtagene ciloleucel on 22.11.2021... Therapy of JAK1/2 inhibitor associated aggressive B-Cell lymphoma is feasible and results in durable remissions with acceptable toxicity.Figure 1DateJAK2 V617F Allelic burden(Sample site: peripheral blood)17.07.20192,108%27.08.20192,038%29.10.20191,37816.10.20200,889%04.03.20210,814%23.08.20210,275%15.09.20210,528%12.01.20221,101%23.02.20220,645%Table 1
