Vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 are safe to administer in patients with antibodies to pegaspargase

Hope D. Swanson, Hana Hakim, Diego R. Hijano, Ted Morton, Shane Cross, Hiroto Inaba, Sima Jeha, Ching-Hon Pui, Seth E. Karol

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the safety of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in patients with anti-pegaspargase antibodies. The results showed that these patients tolerated the vaccines well, which also use polyethylene glycol as a stabilizing agent, with no significant adverse reactions observed.

Hunger, Keizo Horibe, Atsushi Manabe, Mignon L. Loh, Rob Pieters, Kjeld Schmiegelow, Lewis B. Silverman, Jan Stary, Ajay Vora, Ching-Hon Pui, Martin Schrappe, Martin Zimmermann

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the prognostic factors and efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in the first remission of patients with noninfant childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with 11q23/KMT2A rearrangements. The results showed that the prognosis of patients with noninfant 11q23/KMT2A-rearranged ALL has improved compared to historical data, but allo-HSCT did not improve outcomes. Targeted therapies are needed to reduce relapse and treatment-related mortality rates.

Summary: Studies on the association between BMI at diagnosis and treatment outcomes in Chinese children with ALL have shown inconsistent results. While weight status was not associated with event-free survival or overall survival, overweight patients were at a higher risk of treatment-related mortality.

Summary: This study utilized CRISPR/Cas9 technology to identify known genes, such as TOP2A and ABCC1, as well as novel genes including RAD54L2, PRKDC, and ZNF451, which may serve as potential therapeutic targets for overcoming treatment resistance.

Characterisation of children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia who presented without peripheral blood blasts at diagnosis

Summary: Among children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, about 14.7% presented without peripheral blood blasts. While absence of blasts did not affect survival outcomes, these patients had distinct genetic and clinical characteristics, with a higher incidence of hyperdiploid B-ALL and lower rates of central nervous system involvement.

Yang, Yen-Hsuan Ni, Ching-Hon Pui, Sung-Liang Yu, Yung-Li Yang

Summary: This study analyzed data from two consecutive protocols to determine the clinical impact of minimal/measurable residual disease (MRD) and tumor genetic subtypes in newly diagnosed pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. The results showed that MRD-directed therapy improved outcomes for pediatric ALL, especially for standard-risk patients. This study provides important data to inform the design of future clinical trials in Taiwan.

Pharmacotypes across the genomic landscape of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia and impact on treatment response

Summary: Contemporary chemotherapy for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia is personalized based on clinical features, leukemia genomics, and minimal residual disease. However, the pharmacological basis of these prognostic variables is unclear. A study analyzing samples from 805 children with newly diagnosed leukemia identified variations in drug response and determined that certain subtypes were more sensitive to specific agents. The findings suggest opportunities for individualizing therapy and exploring alternative strategies for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

An inflammatory state remodels the immune microenvironment and improves risk stratification in acute myeloid leukemia

Tikhonova, Maria Guillamot-Ruano, Geraldine Cayanan, Anna Yeaton, Gabriel Robbins, Esther A. Obeng, Aristotelis Tsirigos, Richard M. Stone, John C. Byrd, Stanley Pounds, William L. Carroll, Tanja A. Gruber, Ann-Kathrin Eisfeld, Iannis Aifantis

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the bone marrow immune microenvironment in adult and pediatric AML patients. Unique inflammation signatures were identified in a subset of AML patients, which were associated with poor outcomes. Dysfunctional B-cell subtype, atypical B cells, were found to be enriched in high-inflammation AML patients, along with an increase in CD8(+)GZMK(+) and regulatory T cells, and a reduction in T-cell clonal expansion. An inflammation-associated gene score (iScore) was developed which predicts survival outcomes and refines current risk stratifications in AML patients. The study highlights the importance of considering the inflammatory state in clinical settings.

Summary: This study investigated the clinical management strategies and effects of cytoreduction in pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and hyperleukocytosis. The results showed that LD-cytarabine treatment was safe and effective in reducing leukocyte counts in children with AML and hyperleukocytosis.

Upper Respiratory Infection Drives Clinical Signs and Inflammatory Responses Following Heterologous Challenge of SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern in K18 Mice

Jacob H. Nichols, Evan P. Williams, Jyothi Parvathareddy, Xueyuan Cao, Ying Kong, Elizabeth Fitzpatrick, Richard J. Webby, Colleen B. Jonsson

Summary: The evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has led to the emergence of variants of concern, such as Alpha and Delta, which show increased immune evasion and transmissibility. In a mouse study, it was found that while neutralizing antibodies provided protection against the original strain, reinfection with Alpha or Delta resulted in self-limited viral infection and inflammatory response in the upper respiratory tract. These findings suggest the importance of understanding breakthrough infections and immune response to different variants.

Summary: The closely related clinical isolates of SARS-CoV-2 exhibit phenotypic divergence and induce different immune responses. One variant shows faster viral replication and lower mortality rate, with unique immune responses. Lung histopathology reveals distinct phenotypes among the isolates.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study compared postoperative opioid consumption in patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The study found that patients treated with a perioperative multimodal analgesic injection had significantly lower consumption of PRN morphine equivalents and higher rates of ambulation on postoperative day 1 compared to those treated with patient-controlled analgesia.

Summary: This study investigated the association between pain and stress in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), and found that a specific gene SNP was related to acute pain and stress-related pain. Additionally, there was a correlation between clinical pain and environmental stress, but the gene SNP did not modify this correlation. This finding highlights the importance of further exploring the role of this gene SNP in SCD.
