In 2022 and 2023, three Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Registry Leaders Roundtable sessions were convened by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in collaboration with the American Society of Hematology (ASH). HHS subsequently initiated development of an SCD-specific U.S. Core Data for Interoperability Plus program (USCDI+ SCD) (2).

Participants evaluated proposed elements of care delivery and center infrastructure, with consensus defined a priori as ³70% agreement on categorization. Twenty-four elements were identified as essential, and four as recommended for optimal implementation. These elements span clinical infrastructure, multidisciplinary care, treatment delivery, and longitudinal follow-up. The resulting framework provides a practical foundation to guide centers in developing and standardizing gene therapy programs for SCD.

While pirtobrutinib was developed to overcome resistance mediated by BTK C481 mutations, its use has been increasingly associated with the emergence of BTK T474, which is associated with resistance to this and commercially available BTKis. We retrospectively analyzed 17 relapsed/refractory CLL patients from two academic centers who acquired BTK T474 mutations on BTKi therapy, integrating paired next-generation sequencing (NGS), cytogenetics, and clinical outcomes. Results showed that this was a heavily pretreated, high-risk cohort; 42% had del(17p) and/or TP53 mutations. T474I was the most common substitution (82%). At first T474 detection, patients were receiving ibrutinib (6/17), acalabrutinib (5/17), pirtobrutinib (5/17), or nemtabrutinib (1/17); median time on the current BTKi at time of mutation detection was 28 months (range, 4-69). Concurrent BTK C481 mutations were present in 14/17 (82%). Median T474 VAF at progression was 13%, and all patients progressed after T474 detection with a median time to progression of 4 months. Non-BTK mutations were frequent (82%), most commonly TP53 and SF3B1. After progression, venetoclax-based therapy produced the longest median progression-free survival (18 months). Median overall survival was 44 months from first documentation of T474 mutation (95% CI, 20-62) and PFS after T474 detection was 6 months.

Urinary 11-dehydro-thromboxane B₂ (TXM) reflects in vivo platelet activation. Although low-dose aspirin (ASA) is recommended for PE prevention in high-risk pregnancies, variable thromboxane suppression may lead to persistent platelet activation. This study aimed at identifying platelet-derived predictors of PE in high-risk women receiving ASA and assessing biomarkers improving risk stratification. This observational study included 25 high-risk pregnant women on ASA and 12 with physiological pregnancies. Clinical evaluation and blood/urine sampling were performed at baseline (T0), and at 21 (T4) and 27 (T5) weeks. Urinary TXM and percentage inhibition (<75% = reduced inhibition) were assessed. Platelet biomarkers included thrombopoietin (TPO), glycocalicin (GC), P-selectin, and CD40L. Late-onset PE occurred in 6/25 (24%) high-risk women and in none of the controls. TXM levels were higher in high-risk versus physiological pregnancies (p=0.009), especially at T4-T5 (p<0.0001). Women developing PE had higher TXM at T4 (adjusted p=0.014) and lower TXM inhibition (51% vs 81%; p=0.020). Reduced inhibition (<75%) was associated with increased PE risk (44.4% vs 14.3%; OR 4.8). TPO showed a different longitudinal pattern according to PE occurrence (time-by-outcome interaction p=0.036). Glycocalicin showed higher estimated values at baseline in women who developed PE (p=0.048), but the time-specific contrast was attenuated after Holm adjustment (adjusted p=0.19). Incomplete thromboxane suppression during ASA therapy is associated with PE. TXM, together with opposite trends of TPO and GC, identifies a profile consistent with altered platelet homeostasis and possible changes in platelet turnover, potentially enhancing risk prediction in high-risk pregnancies.</p>","PeriodicalId":9228,"journal":{"name":"Blood advances","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149191193","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}
