Recent studies indicate a minority of malignant cells, termed drug-tolerant persisters (DTPs), stochastically upregulate stress pathways to evade cell death upon acute exposure to chemotherapy without acquiring new genetic mutations. This chemoresistant state is transient and the cells return to baseline after removal of chemotherapy. Yet, the mechanisms employed by DTPs to resist chemotherapy are not well understood and it is largely unknown whether these mechanisms are also seen in patients receiving chemotherapy. Here, we used leukemia cell lines, primary AML patient samples and samples from patients with AML receiving systemic chemotherapy to study the DTP state. We demonstrated that a subset of AML cells transiently increases membrane rigidity to resist killing due to acute exposure to Daunorubicin and Ara-C. Upon removal of the chemotherapy, membrane rigidity returned to baseline and the cells regained chemosensitivity. Although resistant to chemotherapy, the increased membrane rigidity, rendered AML cells more susceptible to T-cell mediated killing. Thus, we identified a novel mechanism by which DTP leukemic cells evade chemotherapy and a strategy to eradicate these persistent cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":12964,"journal":{"name":"Haematologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142681550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is limited information on the challenges to accessing new and innovative therapies. The aim of this study was to explore challenges with accessing haemophilia treatment from the perspective of healthcare professionals (HCPs). A crosssectional study design was used. A pilot-tested, online survey was distributed to haemophilia treatment centres in Australia, Canada, France, Italy, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, Turkey, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The questionnaire covered questions on product access, economic considerations, health technology assessment requirements, and patient organization involvement. The results were analyzed descriptively using SPSS. A total of 154 HCPs completed the questionnaire. There was heterogeneity across countries, regions, and centres regarding HCPs' knowledge of access to novel recently developed treatments. Notable limitations to access were reported such as differences in access based on age of patient and type of product, economic considerations, and the growing influence of HTA bodies. Many countries have a hemophilia patient organization that does not have a vote at the decision-making table. There is a need to empower HCPs to better understand national healthcare structures and decisions that lead to access limitations. Requirements from HTA bodies must be understood to optimally design clinical studies and value generation of treatment options. This may strengthen the haemophilia treatment centre's voice to collectively mandate for exchange with key involved individuals, such as the payers and politicians for the provision of optimal therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":12964,"journal":{"name":"Haematologica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142619066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In summary, in this largest retrospective cohort study of Lonca in the RWS, the response rates, EFS, and OS were lower than those reported in LOTIS-2, which is likely reflective of its use in higher risk and more heavily pre-treated patients within the real world compared to those enrolled on clinical study.</p>","PeriodicalId":12964,"journal":{"name":"Haematologica","volume":" ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142619079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
