Using the World Health Organization individual case safety report pharmacovigilance database, VigiBase®, we aimed to determine the association between ibrutinib dosing regimens and IRAF reporting. Ibrutinib daily dose was extracted from IRAF cases from VigiBase® and was divided into 5 ibrutinib dosing regimen (140–280–420–560 and >560 mg/day). Disproportionality analysis was used to evaluate the association between IRAF reporting and ibrutinib daily dose, through logistic regression. Single term deletions produced the ibrutinib daily dose global p-value. Then, a multivariable adjusted reporting odds-ratio with its 95% confidence interval was calculated for each ibrutinib dosing regimen, against the lowest dosing regimen (140 mg/day) as reference. A total of 1162 IRAF cases were identified in VigiBase® (n = 62 for ibrutinib 140 mg/day, 114 for ibrutinib 280 mg/day, 811 for ibrutinib 420 mg/day, 164 for ibrutinib 560 mg/day and 11 for ibrutinib >560 mg/day). After adjustment on several variables of interest, IRAF reporting was not significantly associated with ibrutinib dosing regimen (p = 0.09). Our results from Vigibase® do not support IRAF as a dose-dependent ADR (ClinicalTrial registration number: NCT06224452).","PeriodicalId":18109,"journal":{"name":"Leukemia","volume":"38 12","pages":"2628-2635"},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41375-024-02413-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142273465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While they represent a major clinical improvement, they are still limited in terms of efficacy by e.g. single, sometimes low-expressed antigen targeting, and in terms of safety by e.g., lack of on-off activity. Successful cell-of-origin non-discriminative targeting of heterogeneous hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell malignancies, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), will require antigen-versatile targeting and off-switching of effectors in order to then allow rescue by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), preventing permanent myeloablation. To address this, we developed adaptor-CAR (AdFITC-CAR) T-cells targeting fluoresceinated AML antigen-binding diabody adaptors. This platform enables the use of adaptors matching the AML-antigen-expression profile and conditional activity modulation. Combining adaptors significantly improved lysis of AML cells in vitro. In therapeutic xenogeneic mouse models, AdFITC-CAR T-cells co-administered with single diabody adaptors were as efficient as direct CAR T-cells, and combinatorial use of adaptors further enhanced therapeutic efficacy against both, cell lines and primary AML. Collectively, this study provides proof-of-concept that AdFITC-CAR T-cells and combinations of adaptors can efficiently enhance immune-targeting of AML.","PeriodicalId":18109,"journal":{"name":"Leukemia","volume":"38 12","pages":"2598-2613"},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41375-024-02409-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142245874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) that induce proteasomal degradation of mutated FLT3 emerge as innovative pharmacological approach. Molecular mechanisms that control targeted proteolysis beyond the ubiquitin-proteasome-system are undefined and PROTACs are the only known type of FLT3 degraders. We report that the von-Hippel-Lindau ubiquitin-ligase based FLT3 PROTAC MA49 (melotinib-49) and the FLT3 hydrophobic tagging molecule MA50 (halotinib-50) reduce endoplasmic reticulum-associated, oncogenic FLT3-ITD but spare FLT3. Nanomolar doses of MA49 and MA50 induce apoptosis of human leukemic cell lines and primary AML blasts with FLT3-ITD (p < 0.05-0.0001), but not of primary hematopoietic stem cells and differentiated immune cells, FLT3 wild-type cells, retinal cells, and c-KIT-dependent cells. In vivo activity of MA49 against FLT3-ITD-positive leukemia cells is verified in a Danio rerio model. The degrader-induced loss of FLT3-ITD involves the pro-apoptotic BH3-only protein BIM and a previously unidentified degrader-induced depletion of protein-folding chaperones. The expression levels of HSP90 and HSP110 correlate with reduced AML patient survival (p < 0.1) and HSP90, HSP110, and BIM are linked to the expression of FLT3 in primary AML cells (p < 0.01). HSP90 suppresses degrader-induced FLT3-ITD elimination and thereby establishes a mechanistically defined feed-back circuit.","PeriodicalId":18109,"journal":{"name":"Leukemia","volume":"38 12","pages":"2561-2572"},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41375-024-02405-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142245596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of 44 patients assessable for response, 29 (66%) achieved a complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) or better, with poorer responses seen in those stopping their last-line of therapy for resistance. Fewer patients with a prior history of a non-T315I-BCR::ABL1 single nucleotide variant (BSNV), or a non-T315I-BSNV detectable at baseline achieved CCyR. Serial tracking of BSNV by next generation sequencing demonstrated clonal expansion of BSNV-harbouring populations, which in some settings was associated with resistance (E459K, F317L, F359I), while in others was seen in the context of ongoing response, often with intensified dosing (T315I, I502F).

Whilst PI3K-α/δ inhibitors demonstrate clinical benefit in certain B-cell lymphomas, PI3K signalling inhibitors have been inadequate in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in part, due to treatment related toxicities. Clinically, AKT inhibitors exhibit a differentiated tolerability profile offering an alternative approach for treating patients with B-cell malignancies. To explore how AKT inhibition complements other potential therapeutics in the treatment of DLBCL patients, an in vitro combination screen was conducted across a panel of DLCBL cell lines. The AKT inhibitor, capivasertib, in combination with the BCL-2 inhibitor, venetoclax, produced notable therapeutic benefit in preclinical models of DLBCL. Capivasertib and venetoclax rapidly induced caspase and PARP cleavage in GCB-DLBCL PTEN wildtype cell lines and those harbouring PTEN mutations or reduced PTEN protein, driving prolonged tumour growth inhibition in DLBCL cell line and patient derived xenograft lymphoma models. The addition of the rituximab further deepened the durability of capivasertib and venetoclax responses in a RCHOP refractory DLBCL in vivo models. These findings provide preclinical evidence for the rational treatment combination of AKT and BCL-2 inhibitors using capivasertib and venetoclax respectively alongside anti-CD20 antibody supplementation for treatment of patients with DLBCL.","PeriodicalId":18109,"journal":{"name":"Leukemia","volume":"38 12","pages":"2663-2674"},"PeriodicalIF":12.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41375-024-02401-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142234434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further functional and mechanistic investigations revealed a crucial regulatory function of USP4 in HSC regeneration and leukemia progression by modulating ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis. USP4 deubiquitinates and stabilizes PES1 to facilitate ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis in proliferative HSCs and leukemic cells. Usp4 deletion significantly decreases protein synthesis, proliferation and reconstitution capacity of HSCs. Usp4 inhibition suppresses ribosome biogenesis and proliferation of leukemic cells, and prolongs the survival of AML (Acute myeloid leukemia) mice.
