Dosing flexibility (adjustment to daily dose of <420 mg/d) with ibrutinib can help prevent recurrence or worsening of adverse events while maintaining long-term efficacy. This study compared time to next treatment among patients with CLL/SLL in the United States initiating 1L single-agent ibrutinib at 420 mg/d (index date) and staying on this dose vs patients with dose adjustment (DA) within 3 to 12 months. Two databases were used: Komodo claims (a majority from community practices) and Acentrus electronic medical records (from academic and nonteaching hospital systems). To account for immortal time bias (patients with DA survived on 1L therapy until DA) and overlap between follow-up time and definition of treatment strategies, a target trial emulation approach was used, in which patients were cloned at index date and contributed follow-up to both treatment strategy arms until deviation from the strategy. Among 3343 patients in Komodo (mean age: 67.5 years; 37.6% female) and 1171 patients in Acentrus (mean age: 70.4 years; 34.6% female) who initiated 1L single-agent ibrutinib 420 mg/d, 18.0% and 19.6%, respectively, had a DA. DA was not associated with an increased risk of having a next treatment in both databases (adjusted hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: Komodo: 0.95 [0.80-1.14], Acentrus: 1.14 [0.80-1.62]).

Here, we sought to extend our currently limited insight into CD38 surface expression by using a multiomics approach.

Integrated transcriptome and surface proteome data confirmed high specificity of all-trans retinoic acid in upregulating CD38, in contrast to the broader effects of azacytidine and panobinostat.

In a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model, we analyzed 13 000 cells from different murine niche cell populations after long-term (>24 weeks) exposure to MDS vs healthy human grafts. Subsequently, we analyzed over 24 000 primary human BM cells enriched for the nonhematopoietic compartment by using whole bone fragments from n = 8 patients with MDS and n = 7 healthy, age-matched donors. In PDX who received MDS transplantation, mesenchymal cell (MSC) subpopulations were forced to overexpress hematopoietic factors such as Cxcl12 and Il7 upon contact with hematopoietic MDS cells as compared with healthy grafts. Single-cell analyses of primary in situ BM cells from patients with MDS showed highly heterogeneous MSC subpopulations on a patient-individual level. We identified inflammatory gene expression profiles as well as overexpression of C-X-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 12, KIT ligand, and Interleukin 7 in MDS MSCs and endothelial cells. In conclusion, we demonstrate reprogramming of the BM microenvironment by MDS cells, pointing to altered MSC subpopulations with increased growth factor expression profiles in a subgroup of patients with MDS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100189,"journal":{"name":"Blood Neoplasia","volume":"1 3","pages":"Article 100021"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950328024000219/pdfft?md5=7e40a71e101380a24de189eb79bb44c9&pid=1-s2.0-S2950328024000219-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141131243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
