IL-6 knockdown in a model of the human bone marrow, abrogates DNA damage induction in bystander cells post-chemotherapy induced cytokine release syndrome. (PubMed, Transl Oncol)
During HSCT, haematopoietic cells are exposed to a complex mix of cytokines, so to determine if IL-6 was integral in a chemotherapy-induced bystander effect, we attempted to inhibit IL-6 from HS-5 cells using resatorvid or siRNA, treated with chlorambucil or mitoxantrone, and then co-cultured with bystander TK6 cells. Our data suggests that exposure to high IL-6 (in the absence of inflammatory cells) has potential to induce genetic damage and may contribute to de novo tumorigenesis post-CS. We suggest that for individuals with a pro-inflammatory profile, anti-IL-6 therapy may be an appropriate intervention to prevent complications post-CS.

Enhanced Sampling Molecular Dynamics Simulations Reveal Transport Mechanism of Glycoconjugate Drugs through GLUT1. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Here, we employed all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, coupled to steered and umbrella sampling techniques, to examine the thermodynamics governing the transport of glucose and two glycoconjugate drugs (i.e., 6-D-glucose-conjugated methane sulfonate and 6-D-glucose chlorambucil) by GLUT1...Importantly, our results described, for the first time, the free energy profiles of GLUT1-transporting glycoconjugate drugs, and demonstrated that H160 and W388 served as important gates to regulate their transport via GLUT1. These findings provide novel atomic-scale insights for understanding the transport mechanism of GLUT1, facilitating the discovery and rational design of GLUT1-targeted anticancer drugs.

Discovery of Dual Function Agents That Exhibit Anticancer Activity via Catastrophic Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Depletion. (PubMed, J Med Chem)
Among them, compound 11b exhibited potent anticancer efficacy in cancer cell lines and mouse tumor models with intrinsic resistance to the parent compound FK866 or chlorambucil. Compound 11b caused catastrophic NAD depletion via a synergistic effect between the NAD salvage pathway blockade and DNA damage-triggered NAD consumption. Our findings suggest a new intervention strategy for causing catastrophic NAD depletion in cancer cells and provide basis for the development of new inhibitors targeting NAD metabolism.

The Efficacy and Safety of Zanubrutinib, Dexamethasone and or Not Cyclophosphamide Regimen in Symptomatic Waldenstrom Macroglobulinnemia (ASH 2023)
After 8 cycles, patients with VGPR remission receive Chlorambucil 6mg D1-4,15-18, dexamethasone 20mg D1-4,15-18, cyclophosphamide 300mg, D1-4,15-18 for 4cycles, others receive Zanubrutinib as maintenance. These results demonstrate that zanubrutinib, dexamethasone and or not cyclophosphamide are quickly effective in the treatment of WM, with more deeper response and less toxicity, maybe treatment discontinued by combining with cyclophosphamide after deep remission. Comments*The regimen of ZD: Zanubrutinib 240mg d1-28, dexamethasone 20mg D1-4,15-18. Patients more than 75 years old, Zanubrutinib 160mg d1-28, dexamethasone 10mg D1-4,15-18.

Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients Receiving Sequential Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (BTKi)/B-Cell Lymphoma 2 Inhibitor (BCL2i) for Treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) in the Real-World (rw) Practice Setting (ASH 2023)
Other non-BTKi/BCL2i therapies received included bendamustine+rituximab, rituximab monotherapy, investigational regimens, chlorambucil+obinutuzumab, and other regimens. Our findings indicate that patients treated with BTKi/BCL2i sequences in 1L and 2L may have experienced improved outcomes relative to patients who received other sequences in the same LOTs. While research is beginning to investigate characteristics and outcomes for patients who received these therapies consecutively (Lew et al. , Blood Adv 2021), future research should further examine these outcomes in a larger patient population and in patients who have already discontinued and relapsed on both BTKis and BCL2is.

Deep Immune Profiling Identifies Novel T-Cell Subpopulations That Influence Specific Clinical Outcomes in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) (ASH 2023)
The discovery cohort comprised pre-treatment samples from 79 CLL patients enrolled in the NCRI RIAltO trial (NCT01678430) who underwent factorial randomisation to ofatumumab and either bendamustine or chlorambucil, with or without idelalisib. The present study has identified three previously undescribed T-cell subpopulations that appear to influence the risk of infection, SPM, and death in patients with CLL receiving frontline chemo-immunotherapy. Further studies are warranted to validate these findings in the setting of targeted agents and in patients receiving CIT for other haematological malignancies.

Ibrutinib Plus Venetoclax with MRD-Directed Duration of Treatment Is Superior to FCR and Is a New Standard of Care for Previously Untreated CLL: Report of the Phase III UK NCRI FLAIR Study (ASH 2023)
A Phase III trial comparing I+V (15 months [mo]) with chlorambucil-obinutuzumab led to the approval of I+V. Ibrutinib plus venetoclax significantly improved progression-free and overall survival compared to FCR in untreated CLL. Using MRD to direct the duration of I+V maximizes outcome with 97.2% progression free survival at 3 years The efficacy seen in FLAIR is superior to previous Phase III CLL trials indicating that I+V with duration guided by MRD is a new gold standard for CLL treatment.

Outcomes of Patients with Richter Transformation without Prior Chemoimmunotherapy for CLL/SLL: An International Multicenter Retrospective Study (ASH 2023)
Pts with RT occurring as large B-cell lymphoma who did not previously receive CIT (e.g., fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, bendamustine, chlorambucil) for their CLL/SLL were included...The remaining 14% had been treated with an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (MoAb), steroids, lenalidomide, radiation, or alemtuzumab... This is the largest cohort of pts who developed RT having received only SMI with no CIT for their CLL reported, thus reflecting the current treatment landscape. Despite being CIT-naïve, pts in our series who received tx for their CLL/SLL and then developed RT had a short OS, underscoring the need to develop better therapies for these pts. In contrast, as in other published analyses (Wang Haematologica 2020), pts w/o prior tx for CLL/SLL had more favorable outcomes, with a median OS of approximately 5 years.

High Dimensional Detection of Non-Malignant B-Cells and Its Clinical Implications in Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) Undergoing Frontline Therapy (ASH 2023)
Patients were randomly assigned to receive bendamustine or chlorambucil plus ofatumumab, with or without idelalisib. To our knowledge, this is the first study to identify correlations between the re-emergence of non-malignant B-cells following anti-CLL therapy and specific clinical endpoints such as haematopoietic recovery, serum Ig levels, TTP and OS. Although further validation is required in the context of targeted agents, our findings suggest that therapy-induced re-emergence of non-malignancy B-cells may have important biological and clinical implications in CLL.

Immunomodulatory Effects of Chemo-Immunotherapy ± Idelalisib in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) (ASH 2023)
Patients were randomly assigned to receive ofatumumab plus either bendamustine or chlorambucil, with or without idelalisib. CIT results in profound immune changes that persists up to 18.5 [16.1 – 22.6] months following treatment. Furthermore, the overall effect of these changes further differentiates the CLL-associated immune profile from that of HC, deepening the existing T-cell dysfunction irrespective of chemotherapy choice, or the addition of idelalisib. Our study has important potential implications for patients receiving CIT in a range of clinical settings and supports the move towards more targeted agents that are less likely to cause indiscriminate immune perturbation.

Multifunctional Novel Nanoplatform for Effective Synergistic Chemo-Photodynamic Therapy of Breast Cancer by Enhancing DNA Damage and Disruptions of Its Reparation. (PubMed, Molecules)
Herein, we developed a photosensitizer prodrug (CSP) by conjugating the photosensitizer pyropheophorbide a (PPa) and the DNA-damaging agent Chlorambucil (Cb) with a GSH-responsive disulfide linkage and demonstrated a multifunctional co-delivery nanoplatform (CSP/Ola nanoparticles (NPs)) together with DSPE-PEG and PARP inhibitor Olaparib (Ola). As a consequence, the co-delivery nanoplatform greatly promotes the tumor cell apoptosis and shows a high antitumor performance with combinational chemotherapy and PDT. Overall, this work provides a potential alternative to improve the therapeutic efficiency of triple negative breast cancer cell (TNBC) treatment by synergistically enhancing DNA damage and disrupting DNA damage repair.

In an exploratory analysis, 40 patients enrolled in the CLL14 trial (NCT02242942, N=432) treated with obinutuzumab (G) in combination with chlorambucil (Clb) or Venetoclax (Ven) were selected based on an undetectable MRD status (<10 -4 ) at 3 months after last dose of G and subsequent molecular relapse, defined as MRD ≥10 -4 , within a defined follow-up (FU) time of 24 months. In this small subset of patients with MRD relapse after ClbG or VenG patient groups showed different clonal expansion. Whether the observed results are caused by biological factors or the treatment has to be investigated on larger patient numbers.

Genomic Alterations and Outcomes With Fixed‑Duration Ibrutinib + Venetoclax: Results From the Phase 3 GLOW Study in Patients With Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) (SOHO 2023)
Objective: Impact of baseline genomic aberrations on undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD) at 3 months after end of treatment (EOT+3) and progression-free survival (PFS) of ibrutinib+venetoclax (Ibr+Ven) and chlorambucil+obinutuzumab (Clb+O) in patients with previously untreated CLL from GLOW (NCT03462719) was evaluated. With approximately 4 years of follow-up, uIGHV status and trisomy-12 were associated with shorter PFS with fixed-duration Ibr+Ven in patients with previously untreated CLL. However, imbalances in early non- progression events and small sample size may limit interpretation. PFS with Ibr+Ven was significantly better than Clb+O across most genomic subgroups.

Is Fixed-Duration Therapy the New Standard of Care in Frontline CLL? (SOHO 2023)
An improved understanding of the disease biology has contributed to the development of novel agents able to target key pathways in CLL.2 Two classes of targeted agents have been extremely impactful in shaping current treatment of CLL: the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax and the Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) ibrutinib, acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib...Patients received six 28-day cycles of ibrutinib in combination with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab (FCR) followed by 2 years of ibrutinib maintenance...The combination of ibrutinib-venetoclax demonstrated superior progression-free survival (24 months estimated rate 84.4% for patients treated with ibrutinib-venetoclax and 44.1% for patients treated with chlorambucil-obinutuzumab) and superior rates of U-MRD (55.7% vs 21%).15 The time-limited approach with concomitant administration of BTK and BCL2 targeting agents has potential advantages over continuous BTK inhibitor-based therapy in terms of reduced risk for treatment-related side effects due to the prolonged administration and potentially lower costs8 , however, there are still open questions in terms of selection of therapy at time of retreatment and quality and durability of responses to subsequent therapies. It is important to note that treatment with combination of BTKi and venetoclax with or without CD20 monoclonal antibodies is not FDA approved and is still being investigated in clinical trials.

Peripheral cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, NOS: a case report (EADV 2023)
Given the patient’s clinical fragility in a multidisciplinary meeting, we opted for therapy aimed at symptomatic relief and containment of the disease with chlorambucil and prednisolone, with progressive clinical improvement until the 3rd cycle of treatment. This case illustrates the natural history of many cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, which exhibit an initial phase clinically and histologically indistinguishable from eczema. Although, rapid evolution to an aggressive primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, as described in our case, is not the commonly described evolutionary pattern. Treatment of PCTCL-NOS includes systemic chemotherapy, autologous bone marrow transplantation, and eventually, brentuximab vedotin or alemtuzumab.

Real-World Evidence on the Clinical Characteristics and Management of Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in Spain Using Natural Language Processing: The SRealCLL Study. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
The most common antineoplastic treatment was ibrutinib in 1L (64.8%) and 2L (62.1%), followed by bendamustine + rituximab (12.6%), obinutuzumab + chlorambucil (5.2%), rituximab + chlorambucil (4.8%), and idelalisib + rituximab (3.9%) in 1L and venetoclax (15.5%), idelalisib + rituximab (6.9%), bendamustine + rituximab (3.5%), and venetoclax + rituximab (3.5%) in 2L. This study expands the information available on patients with CLL in Spain, describing the diversity in patient characteristics and therapeutic approaches in clinical practice.
