Impact of induction chemotherapy with intermediate-dosed cytarabine and subsequent allogeneic stem cell transplantation on the outcome of high-risk acute myeloid leukemia

Summary: Induction chemotherapy with intermediate-dosed cytarabine showed satisfactory response rate in AML patients, while consolidation therapy with allo-HSCT after full or reduced-intensity conditioning further improved survival, similar to outcomes reported for CPX-351.

Combination of treosulfan, fludarabine and cytarabine as conditioning in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome and myeloproliferative neoplasms

Samantha O'Hagan Henderson, Jochen J. Frietsch, Inken Hilgendorf, Andreas Hochhaus, Claus-Henning Koehne, Jochen Casper

Summary: Treosulfan, fludarabine, and cytarabine (Treo/Flu/AraC) conditioning regimen shows tolerable, feasible, and effective outcomes in high-risk AML, MDS, and MPN patients undergoing allogeneic SCT. The incidence of non-relapse mortality and relapse is acceptable in this heavily pre-treated population with advanced disease. Further prospective trials with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these promising initial findings.

Clinical experience with venetoclax in patients with newly diagnosed, relapsed, or refractory acute myeloid leukemia

Maximilian Fleischmann, Sebastian Scholl, Jochen J. Frietsch, Inken Hilgendorf, Karin Schrenk, Jakob Hammersen, Florian Prims, Christian Thiede, Andreas Hochhaus, Ulf Schnetzke

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of 56 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients treated with venetoclax from January 2019 to June 2021. The results showed that venetoclax treatment had good efficacy in both first-line treatment and relapsed or refractory AML patients. Furthermore, venetoclax might play a positive role as a salvage regimen in patients who failed conventional chemotherapy prior to or after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Outcome of patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia treated with Mito-FLAG salvage chemotherapy

Summary: The Mito-FLAG salvage protocol is an effective and feasible treatment regimen for patients with r/r AML, with a high rate of achieving remission and successful transition to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for long-term disease-free survival.

Treosulfan compared with reduced-intensity busulfan improves allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation outcomes of older acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome patients: Final analysis of a prospective randomized trial

Summary: In older or comorbid patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, treosulfan-based conditioning regimen shows better event-free survival and overall survival compared to a widely applied reduced-intensity conditioning busulfan regimen.

Treosulfan plus fludarabine versus TEAM as conditioning treatment before autologous stem cell transplantation for B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Jochen J. Frietsch, Jenny Miethke, Paul Linke, Carl C. Crodel, Ulf Schnetzke, Sebastian Scholl, Andreas Hochhaus, Inken Hilgendorf

Summary: The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of conditioning with Treo/Flu compared to TEAM in patients with B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) before autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT). The results showed no significant differences in progression-free survival, event-free survival, and overall survival between the two groups. However, the Treo/Flu group had a lower dependence on platelet transfusions, older age, and fewer infectious complications, mucositis, and stomatitis. This study highlights the potential value of Treo/Flu as an alternative conditioning regimen for elderly patients with B-cell NHL.

Comparison of fludarabine-melphalan and fludarabine-treosulfan as conditioning prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation-a registry study on behalf of the EBMT Acute Leukemia Working Party

Savani, Alexandros Spyridonidis, Arnon Nagler, Mohamad Mohty

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of two commonly used conditioning protocols, FluMel and FluTreo, for patients with acute myeloid leukemia. While both groups had similar overall survival rates, the FluMel group had a lower relapse incidence and slightly higher non-relapse mortality.

Long-term survival in cancer: definitions, concepts, and design principles of survivorship programs

Summary: Due to improvements in diagnostics and treatment options in hematology and oncology, the number of long-term cancer survivors in Germany is constantly increasing. However, the healthcare situation for these survivors is not satisfactory. Therefore, it is necessary to develop orientation guides and innovative survivorship programs.

Sex-Disaggregated Analysis of Biology, Treatment Tolerability, and Outcome of Multiple Myeloma in a German Cohort

Summary: This study provides a sex-disaggregated analysis of multiple myeloma patients in Germany, showing comparable survival rates between men and women, but higher toxicity of high-dose therapy in women. Additionally, women have a higher incidence of clinically relevant anaemia, which requires further investigation to identify treatable causes.

Middeke, Friedrich Stoelzel

Summary: In this study, the impact of alloHCT on AML patients with IDH1/2 mutations was investigated. It was found that certain IDH mutational subclasses, such as IDH1 R132C and IDH2 R172K, showed a significant benefit from alloHCT in terms of overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) compared to chemotherapy alone. AlloHCT may have prognostic value for AML risk stratification and therapeutic decision making.

Psychosocial distress in young adults surviving hematological malignancies: a pilot study

Andreas Wittwer, Kristin Sponholz, Jochen J. Frietsch, Paul Linke, Peter Kropp, Andreas Hochhaus, Inken Hilgendorf

Summary: Young adult cancer survivors experience psychosocial distress and have unmet needs. They often report depressive symptoms, anxiety, fear of progression, and increased psychosocial stressors. Their quality of life is lower than the general population and they have poorer outcomes. Employment is associated with lower levels of psychosocial distress, anxiety, fatigue, and better quality of life. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these findings, and psycho-oncological and social support should be integrated into the aftercare of young adult cancer survivors.
