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.

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).

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

Challenging the Concept of Triple-Negative Thrombocytosis: Real-World Evidence from a Single Institution Experience (ASH 2022)
Cytoreductive therapy was given to 14 TNT patients (Hydroxycarbamide, n=12; Pegasys, n=1,; Anagrelide, n=1) dictated by physician choice.In evaluable patients with TNT (n=69), NDM was found in only 9 patients (13.2%) and associated with older age (median age 69.3 yr)...We hence favour the term idiopathic thrombocytosis in selected for patients with TNT patients. Further studies are warranted to examine the role of cytoreduction and anti-platelet therapy in TNT in selected patient groups, e.g. previous thrombosis , cardiovascular risk factors, older age and extreme thrombocytosis.

Recombinant Interferon-β in the Treatment of Polycythemia Vera and Related Neoplasms: Rationales and Perspectives. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Later, pegylated IFN-α2a (Pegasys) and pegylated IFN-α2b (PegIntron) were introduced, which have since been reported to be better tolerated due to reduced toxicity...Within the hematological malignancies, rIFN-α2 has been used off-label for decades in patients with Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs)-i.e., essential thrombocythemia, polycythemia vera, and myelofibrosis-and in recent years rIFN-α2 has been revived with the marketing of ropeginterferon-α2b (Besremi) for the treatment of polycythemia vera patients...Another rIFN formulation-recombinant interferon-β (rIFN-β)-has been used for decades in the treatment of multiple sclerosis but has never been studied as a potential agent to be used in patients with MPNs, although several studies and reviews have repeatedly described rIFN-β as an effective anticancer agent as well. In this paper, we describe the rationales and perspectives for launching studies on the safety and efficacy of rIFN-β in patients with MPNs.

The use of pegulated interferon a2a in a cohort of Greek patients with Mycosis Fungoides. (PubMed, J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol)
(1) However, recombinant IFN a-2a or IFN a-2b interferon regimens are no longer available and therefore, the pegylated analogue (pegylated IFN a-2a, Pegasys; Hoffmann-La Roche) has been currently used. Nevertheless, treatment outcomes have only been reported in case reports and in a few clinical trials.(2)(3)(4) The current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of peg IFN in the treatment of mycosis fungoides (MF).

The spectrum of BRCA1 and BRCA2 Pathogenic Sequence Variants (PSVs) in Middle Eastern, North African, and South European countries. (PubMed, Hum Mutat)
Notably, some mutations [e.g., p.Asn257Lysfs (c.771_775del)] were observed in unrelated populations. Thus, seemingly genotyping recurring BRCA PSVs in specific populations may provide first pass BRCA genotyping platform.
