In Brazil, limited data on pediatric leukemia trends hinder public health strategies. This study analyzed leukemia mortality in individuals aged 0-19years in São Paulo State, Brazil, from 2000 to 2019. An ecological time-series design was applied using official Mortality Information System (SIM/ DATASUS) microdata, identifying leukemia cases through ICD-10 codes C91-C96. Mortality trends were assessed using the Prais- Winsten regression model and Durbin-Watson test, estimating annual percent change (APC) and 95% confidence intervals. Between 2000 and 2019, 3687 deaths occurred (24.34/100,000), with a decreasing trend (APC: -0.017), from 1.69/100,000 in 2000 to 1.21/100,000 in 2019. Mortality was higher among males (56%), white individuals (71%), and adolescents aged 15-19years (30.8%). Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (C910) accounted for 50.8% of deaths, and unspecified septicemia (A419) was the most frequent associated cause (25.8%). SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Analyzing pediatric leukemia mortality trends in São Paulo state provides valuable epidemiological evidence to support surveillance, guide public health policies, and identify regional disparities. As one of Brazil's main referral centers, São Paulo offers important insights into the impact of demographic, socioeconomic, and healthcare factors on mortality, contributing to improved prevention and management strategies nationwide.</p>","PeriodicalId":18047,"journal":{"name":"Leukemia & Lymphoma","volume":" ","pages":"2235-2243"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148391281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted a systematic review of studies reporting such outcomes among patients with treated with axi-cel in 2L and 2L + R/R LBCL. In routine care, axi-cel shows effectiveness comparable to clinical trials, with a lower rate of serious cytokine release syndrome in real-world 2L populations. Most real-world studies reported similar or lower incidence of neurological complications despite their broader populations. Patient-reported data indicate an early, transient health-related quality of life (HRQoL) decline followed by improvements over baseline in multiple domains. HRQoL gains were consistent with or exceeded trial results. Early economic analyses suggest that outpatient administration may offer a lower-cost option than inpatient infusions for some patients.

Two dosing regimens have been investigated: the FDA-approved slow-titration regimen and a higher initial dose and accelerated titration (HIDAT) regimen. A cross-analysis of three prospective trials showed that ropeg achieved sustained Hct control and reduction of phlebotomy dependence in PV patients, including high-risk and hydroxyurea-resistant/intolerant patients. In exploratory cross-study comparisons, the HIDAT regimen was associated with more rapid phlebotomy-free Hct response rates, lower mean annualized phlebotomy frequency, higher overall hematologic response rates and deeper <i>JAK2</i>V617F allele burden reduction than slow titration.

It is extensively and significantly expressed in a variety of hematologic cancers, encompassing acute and chronic leukemias, lymphomas, and multiple myeloma. Given its expression pattern, along with its swift internalization and limited expression in most normal tissues, CD74 emerges as a promising target for a wide array of therapeutic approaches like antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), bispecific antibodies, and Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy.
