Myeloablative regimens used for disease control are associated with acute and long-term adverse effects. We used a CD45RA-depleted haploidentical graft for adoptive transfer of memory T cells combined with NK-cell addback and hypothesized that maximizing the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect might allow for reduction in intensity of conditioning regimen. In this phase II clinical trial (NCT01807611), 72 patients with hematological malignancies (complete remission (CR)1: 25, ≥ CR2: 28, refractory disease: 19) received haploidentical CD34 + enriched and CD45RA-depleted hematopoietic progenitor cell grafts followed by NK-cell infusion. Conditioning included fludarabine, thiotepa, melphalan, cyclophosphamide, total lymphoid irradiation, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis consisted of a short-course sirolimus or mycophenolate mofetil without serotherapy. The 3-year overall survival (OS) and event-free-survival (EFS) for patients in CR1 were 92% (95% CI:72–98) and 88% (95% CI: 67–96); ≥ CR2 were 81% (95% CI: 61–92) and 68% (95% CI: 47–82) and refractory disease were 32% (95% CI: 11–54) and 20% (95% CI: 6–40). The 3-year EFS for all patients in morphological CR was 77% (95% CI: 64–87) with no difference amongst recipients with or without minimal residual disease (P = 0.2992). Immune reconstitution was rapid, with mean CD3 and CD4 T-cell counts of 410/μL and 140/μL at day + 30. Cumulative incidence of acute GVHD and chronic GVHD was 36% and 26% but most patients with acute GVHD recovered rapidly with therapy. Lower rates of grade III-IV acute GVHD were observed with NK-cell alloreactive donors (P = 0.004), and higher rates of moderate/severe chronic GVHD occurred with maternal donors (P = 0.035). The combination of a CD45RA-depleted graft and NK-cell addback led to robust immune reconstitution maximizing the GVL effect and allowed for use of a submyeloablative, TBI-free conditioning regimen that was associated with excellent EFS resulting in promising long-term outcomes in this high-risk population. The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01807611).","PeriodicalId":16023,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hematology & Oncology","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":28.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141461895","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}

Moreover, this review focuses on the major challenges encountered by CAR-T-cell therapies, including the nonspecific killing due to T-cell target antigen sharing and contamination with cell products during preparation. This review discusses strategies to overcome these challenges, presenting novel therapeutic approaches that could enhance the efficacy and applicability of CAR-T-cell therapy in the treatment of T-cell malignancies.

Patients with newly diagnosed MM (aged ≥ 65 years) received eight induction cycles of bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (daratumumab was recommended for frail patients), with treatment intensity adjusted according to longitudinal changes in the frailty category (IMWG-FI) at each cycle.

Of 75 patients who had geriatric assessment at least twice, 28 (37%) experienced frailty category changes at least once. At analysis, 15/26 (58%) frail patients improved (27% became fit and 31% became intermediate fit), 4/15 (27%) intermediate fit patients either improved or deteriorated (two for each), and 6/30 (20%) fit patients deteriorated.

These specialized immune cells play crucial roles in tumour growth, angiogenesis, immune regulation, metastasis, and chemoresistance. TAMs encompass various subpopulations, primarily classified into M1 and M2 subtypes based on their differentiation and activities. M1 macrophages, characterized by a pro-inflammatory phenotype, exert anti-tumoural effects, while M2 macrophages, with an anti-inflammatory phenotype, function as protumoural regulators. These highly versatile cells respond to stimuli from tumour cells and other constituents within the tumour microenvironment (TME), such as growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, and enzymes. These stimuli induce their polarization towards one phenotype or another, leading to complex interactions with TME components and influencing both pro-tumour and anti-tumour processes. This review comprehensively and deeply covers the literature on macrophages, their origin and function as well as the intricate interplay between macrophages and the TME, influencing the dual nature of TAMs in promoting both pro- and anti-tumour processes. Moreover, the review delves into the primary pathways implicated in macrophage polarization, examining the diverse stimuli that regulate this process. These stimuli play a crucial role in shaping the phenotype and functions of macrophages. In addition, the advantages and limitations of current macrophage based clinical interventions are reviewed, including enhancing TAM phagocytosis, inducing TAM exhaustion, inhibiting TAM recruitment, and polarizing TAMs towards an M1-like phenotype. In conclusion, while the treatment strategies targeting macrophages in precision medicine show promise, overcoming several obstacles is still necessary to achieve an accessible and efficient immunotherapy.","PeriodicalId":16023,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hematology & Oncology","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":28.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141304498","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}

This review summarizes the fundamental molecular mechanisms and regulatory pathways underlying ferroptosis, including both GPX4-dependent and -independent antioxidant mechanisms. Additionally, we examine the involvement of ferroptosis in various pathological conditions, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, sepsis, ischemia–reperfusion injury, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic disorders. Specifically, we explore the role of ferroptosis in response to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, nanotherapy, and targeted therapy. Furthermore, we discuss pharmacological strategies for modulating ferroptosis and potential biomarkers for monitoring this process.
