Therapy-related Myeloid Neoplasms After Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for Lymphoma: A Single-Center Experience. (PubMed, Blood Cell Ther)
dexamethasone, ara-C, cisplatin (DHAP) was the most common salvage regimen (47.8%)...BCNU, etoposide, ara-C, melphalan (BEAM) was the most common conditioning regimen 91.9%...t-MN significantly contributes to NRM post-auto-HCT. Age at transplant is the primary risk factor, highlighting the need for vigilant monitoring and risk mitigation strategies.

Feasibility of early tacrolimus initiation in haploidentical-PBSCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide after melphalan-based conditioning regimen. (PubMed, Blood Cell Ther)
However, to our best knowledge, there has been no report about modification of fludarabine (Flu)/melphalan (Mel)-based PTCy-haplo in a real-world setting...In addition, despite the poor baseline characteristics including older age (median, 59 years [range, 25-72]), active diseases at the time of PTCy-haplo (n=8), and short interval between the first and second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) (n=8; median, 12.4 months [range, 3.9-32.9]; all patients received Flu/busulfan (Bu)-based conditioning regimen for their first allo-HSCT), only two patients (10.5%) developed sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD). With a median follow-up of 30.2 months (range, 1.0-53.1), overall survival and disease-free at 2 years were 56.8 and 51.5%, respectively. These findings suggested that early TAC initiation using Flu/Mel-based PTCy-haplo may be potentially useful for older patients with low tolerance to CRS, high risk of SOS/VOD or recurrence, or for those who are unlikely to receive Bu-based conditioning regimen due to early relapse after allo-HSCT with Bu-based conditioning regimen.

Longitudinal ctDNA monitoring in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma undergoing isolated hepatic perfusion in combination with ipilimumab and nivolumab. (PubMed, Immunooncol Technol)
In the randomized SCANDIUM II trial, patients with metastatic UM received a one-time treatment with isolated hepatic perfusion using high-dose melphalan in combination with systemic immune checkpoint inhibition with ipilimumab (3 mg/kg) and nivolumab (1 mg/kg). Patients with undetectable ctDNA 2-4 months after the start of treatment had significantly improved progression-free survival (P = 0.024), and a non-significant improvement in overall survival. In patients with UM liver metastases treated with combined hepatic perfusion and immune checkpoint inhibition, ctDNA may serve as a predictive biomarker and warrants further validation.
