Cell-Free DNA Whole Genome Sequencing for Non-Invasive MRD Detection in Multiple Myeloma (ASH 2024)
MRD testing was performed at 100 days post-autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) (n=39) and/or after one year of lenalidomide (len) maintenance (n=33)...However, these findings are based on preliminary data from a small cohort, requiring further validation in larger studies. Future research will focus on enhancing sensitivity and validating these findings in a broader patient population.

Implications of MRD Progression in Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) Treated with Quadruplet Therapy and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASH 2024)
Understanding the implication of increasing MRD burden is particularly relevant in patients with NDMM treated with quadruplet therapy (QUAD, consisting of a PI, an IMiD, an anti-CD38 mAb and dexamethasone) and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), since most will reach MRD negativity...Among the 19 patients with MRD-P, 12 (63%) were on observation at time of MRD-P, 2 were receiving single agent lenalidomide, 5 were receiving a QUAD, 17 (89%) had previously obtained MRD negativity at <10-5 including 10 (53%) who had also achieved MRD negativity at 10-6...Outcomes of patients with MRD-P are similar to those of patients with IMWG-defined PD. These findings challenge the paradigm of IMWG-defined PD and paraprotein measurability as minimal parameters for change in therapy and introduction of agents with new mechanisms of action.

YTHDF2 upregulation and subcellular localization dictate CD8 T cell polyfunctionality in anti-tumor immunity. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
Accordingly, immunotherapy-induced efficacy could be largely restored in YTHDF2-deficient T cells through combinational use of IKZF1/3 inhibitor lenalidomide in a mouse model. Thus, YTHDF2 coordinates epi-transcriptional and transcriptional networks to potentiate T cell immunity, which could inform therapeutic intervention.

Optimal timeframe for achieving biochemical remission in Crohn's disease patients treated with first-line biologics: A retrospective multicenter study. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
The duration and value difference for CRP normalization between anti-tumor necrosis factor agents, ustekinumab, and vedolizumab were statistically insignificant...Treatment with 5-aminosalicylic acid (HR 2.77; 95% confidence interval &lsqb;CI] 1.26-6.11) and high albumin level (HR 1.64, 95% CI 1.04-2.61) favored early CRP normalization, whereas structuring behavior less likely than inflammatory behavior (HR 0.43, 95% CI 0.19-0.96). We have provided the actual rate of achieving CRP normalization and its appropriate timeframe as an initial target in CD treatment.

Structure-Activity Relationship of Potent, Selective, and Orally Bioavailable Molecular Glue Degraders of CK1α. (PubMed, ACS Med Chem Lett)
The original molecular glue degraders (thalidomide, lenalidomide, and pomalidomide) are known to bind to cereblon (CRBN) and alter its surface to induce recruitment, ubiquitination, and degradation of therapeutically valuable neosubstrates (IKZF1, IKZF3, and CK1α). Herein, we describe the medicinal chemistry efforts that resulted in the discovery of SJ3149 as well as other potent and selective CK1α degraders. We report kinetic profiling and parameters of CK1α degradation, ternary complex, antiproliferative effects, in vitro ADME data, and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies with demonstrated oral bioavailability.

Deep hematologic response to RD treatment in patients with multiple myeloma is associated with overexpression of IL-17R in CD138+ plasma cells. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Lenalidomide (LEN) is widely used immunomodulatory drug (IMiD)...The study included newly diagnosed MM patients (NDMM) and MM patients treated with first-line LEN and dexamethasone (RD) who achieved and least very good partial remission (VGPR)...This should be emphasized because IL-17-related signaling can potentially be targeted, providing the rationale for future research. Establishing the molecular background associated with long-lasting and profound response to LEN may improve LEN-based chemotherapy regimens and facilitate the development of adjuvant therapies to enhance its anti-MM activity.

Cell-free DNA Whole Genome Sequencing for Non-Invasive MRD Detection in Multiple Myeloma (IMW 2024)
MRD testing was performed at 100 days post-autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) (n=39) and/or after one year of lenalidomide (len) maintenance (n=33)... cfWGS is a promising MRD alternative which is less invasive than MFC and clonoSEQ. It benefits non-secretory and some light chain only patients where EasyM is not currently feasible and uniquely informs of clonal dynamics at progression. Future work will aim to improve sensitivity and validate findings in a larger cohort.

Does immunohistochemical staining predict mobilization success in multiple myeloma patients? (PubMed, Transfus Apher Sci)
Even though we could not find any predictive value of CD56, c-myc, and cyclin D1 expression on mobilization, c-myc was found to be associated with low OS. Further studies with large and homogenous study population would be more informative.

Rising Prevalence of Low-Frequency PPM1D Gene Mutations after Second HDCT in Multiple Myeloma. (PubMed, Curr Issues Mol Biol)
Multiple myeloma (MM) first-line treatment algorithms include immuno-chemotherapy (ICT) induction, high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) consolidation, followed by lenalidomide maintenance...Clinical outcomes were inferior in the PPM1D-mutated (PPM1Dmut) subset with median progression-free survival (PFS) of 15 vs. 37 months (p = 0.0002) and median overall survival (OS) of 36 vs. 156 months (p = 0.001) for the PPM1Dmut and PPM1Dwt population, respectively. Our data suggest that the occurrence of PPM1D gene mutations in peripheral blood cells correlates with inferior outcomes after ASCT in patients with multiple myeloma.

Lys-63-specific deubiquitinase BRCC36 enhances the sensitivity of multiple myeloma cells to lenalidomide by inhibiting lysosomal degradation of cereblon. (PubMed, Cell Mol Life Sci)
Immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), such as thalidomide and lenalidomide (Len), are effective drugs for the treatment of multiple myeloma. The combination of SHIN1 and Len can further increase the sensitivity of MM cells to IMiDs. Therefore, this study provides the basis for the exploration of a possible strategy for the SHIN1 and Len combination treatment for MM.

Transcriptomic classification of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma identifies a high-risk activated B-cell-like subpopulation with targetable MYC dysregulation. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
We compare and contrast our methodology with recent DLBCL classifiers to contextualize our clusters and show improved prognostic utility. Finally, using pre-clinical models, we demonstrate a mechanistic rationale for IKZF1/3 degraders such as lenalidomide to overcome the low immune infiltration phenotype of A7 by inducing T-cell trafficking into tumors and upregulating MHC I and II on tumor cells, and demonstrate that TCF4 is an important regulator of MYC-related biology in A7.

Stem cell collection and hematological recovery in the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) MCL0208 clinical trial. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
In the frontline high-dose phase 3 FIL-MCL0208 trial (NCT02354313), 8% of enrolled mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients could not be randomised to receive lenalidomide (LEN) maintenance vs observation after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) due to inadequate hematological recovery and 52% of those who started LEN, needed a dose reduction due to toxicity...A long lasting G4 neutropenia after ASCT (> 10 days) was associated with a worse outcome, both in terms of PFS and OS. In conclusion, although the harvesting procedures proved feasible for younger MCL patients, long-lasting cytopenia following ASCT remains a significant issue: this can hinder the administration of effective maintenance therapies, potentially increasing the relapse rate and negatively affecting survival outcomes.

Targeting dendritic cell-specific TNFR2 improves skin and joint inflammation by inhibiting IL-12/ IFN-γ pathways in a mouse model of psoriatic arthritis. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Furthermore, DC-TNFR2KO mice exhibited reduced levels of interleukin-12 (IL-12), a Th1 cell activator, as well as diminished Th1 cells, and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) levels in the serum compared to controls following MOS stimulation. In summary, our study provides compelling evidence supporting the role of TNFR2 in promoting PsA-like inflammation through cDC1/Th1 activation pathways.

Circulating miR-16 and miR-21 Levels in Multiple Myeloma: Prognostic Significance of Survival and Response to Lenalidomide Treatment. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
This study evaluated the prognostic significance of circulating miR-16 and miR-21 expression levels in 48 patients with MM at diagnosis treated with lenalidomide-dexamethasone (LD) compared with 15 healthy individuals (HI). Ratios of both miR-16 and miR-21 expression levels (prior to LD treatment/diagnosis) below two predicted a shorter time to response (p = 0.027) and a longer time to next treatment (p = 0.042), respectively. These findings suggested a prognostic value for serum miR-16 and miR-21 levels in MM, as their expression levels correlated with disease variables and treatment outcomes.
