Summary: Venetoclax plus azacitidine and DLI combination therapy showed significant efficacy in treating relapsed AML patients after allo-HSCT, with hematologic system adverse events being the most common, while other system adverse events were relatively fewer and milder, and no serious adverse events were observed.

Summary: The regimen of azacitidine and donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) can safely improve the outcomes of relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), especially in patients with signs of early relapse. The administration of targeted medicines in azacitidine-based therapies may further improve the outcomes of relapsed AML/MDS.

Summary: The prognostic impact of KIT mutations and MRD monitoring for AML with RUNX1-RUNX1T1 following HSCT remains controversial. This retrospective study showed that D816V KIT mutation was associated with post-transplant relapse and poor survival, and pre- and post-transplant MRD assessments were useful for predicting outcomes. Different transplant strategies may be more beneficial based on D816V KIT mutation and pre-transplant MRD status.

Summary: In this study, a case of AML patient with RUNX1-RUNX1T1 was reported, who underwent preemptive treatment with the combined application of tislelizumab and azacitidine to prevent post-transplant relapse. After the combination therapy, the patient achieved complete remission with improved hematologic response, but also experienced immune-related adverse events which were well controlled by immunosuppressive therapies.

Summary: Disease relapse post hematopoietic cell transplantation remains a major challenge, with novel cellular and biological therapies showing promise in treating acute leukemia relapse. Understanding the pathobiology of leukemia relapse is crucial for developing new therapeutic strategies, including targeted therapies and novel drug combinations.

Summary: DLI can be effective for managing patients with hematologic malignancies after allogeneic HSCT, with factors such as disease status before HSCT and DLI helping predict EFS outcomes. Vigilant monitoring and preparation are necessary when escalating DLI doses to improve patient outcomes.

Summary: Although haploidentical donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is a valid treatment option for relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the incidence and risk factors for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and the efficacy of haploidentical DLI have not been fully evaluated. Our retrospective analysis showed that a higher CD3(+) cell count was associated with an increased risk of acute GVHD, and preemptive DLI resulted in better overall response.

Summary: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is a potential cure for hematological diseases, but relapse and graft failure remain major causes of treatment failure. This study compared the outcomes of donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) and second-HCT for patients with relapse or graft failure after the first transplantation. The results showed that second-HCT had better survival rates for relapse patients compared to DLI. Donor mismatch, Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS), and time from first-HCT to intervention were identified as independent prognostic factors for survival.

Summary: Donor lymphocyte infusions (DLIs) can be used to prevent or treat relapse in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). Measurable residual disease (MRD) is a valuable biomarker for predicting the response and outcome of DLI treatment. This retrospective study showed that MRD status before and after DLI treatment is prognostic for event-free survival, overall survival, cumulative incidence of relapse, and relapse-free survival.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the efficacy of a second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT2) in 28 patients with relapsed/refractory acute leukemia after chemotherapy plus modified donor lymphocyte infusion following the first allo-HSCT (HSCT1). The findings showed a high rate of complete remission in patients post-HSCT2, with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates at 1 year post-HSCT2 being 25.0% and 21.4%, respectively. Risk factors for OS post-HSCT2 included risk stratification prior to HSCT1 and blast percentage before HSCT2, while relapse within 6 months post-HSCT1 was a risk factor for DFS and relapse post-HSCT2. The study suggests that HSCT2 could be a salvage option for patients with relapsed acute leukemia post-chemotherapy plus modified donor lymphocyte infusion.

Summary: The study found that donor-derived anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy is promising, safe, and potentially effective for patients with relapsed B-ALL after allo-HSCT. The therapy resulted in higher MRD-negative complete remission rates, longer complete remission duration, and better overall survival compared to DLI treatment. Additionally, fewer patients experienced severe complications such as acute graft-versus-host disease and cytokine release syndrome in the CAR T-cell therapy group.

Summary: Chemotherapy followed by donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is a promising treatment for patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The CCAG plus DLI regimen is safe and effective, and leads to durable remission and improved survival rates.

Summary: The study demonstrates that prolonged up to three years of low-dose pro-DLI administered every two months is safe and effective in reducing relapse rate in patients with high-risk acute leukemia. The strategy of low-dose repetitive administration DLI reduces the risk of GVHD and helps in preventing relapse by inducing sustained immunological pressure on residual leukemic cells. Further testing in larger cohorts is warranted to confirm the efficacy of this novel approach in high-risk acute leukemia patients.

Summary: In this study, we conducted a retrospective study on 161 Chinese patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma to clarify the importance of the FISH cut-off value and copy number variation for 1q21. The results demonstrated that 5% was a reliable threshold for 1q21+ and >= 4 copies of 1q21 should be considered high risk for early progression or death.

Summary: This study evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of a modified conditioning regimen in haploidentical HSCT for severe-cardiotoxic-risk SAA patients and found that the BuCy(low)Flu conditioning significantly decreased the incidence of severe cardiotoxicity while achieving favorable engraftment and survival rates. The results suggest that BuCy(low)Flu conditioning can be a feasible alternative for haplo-HSCT recipients at risk of severe cardiotoxicity.

Summary: ZNF384 rearrangement has been identified as a new subtype of B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). Comprehensive immunophenotypic studies showed that patients with ZNF384 rearrangement have distinct features compared to other BCP-ALL subtypes. A flow cytometry scoring system including CD10%, CD33MFI, CD13%, and CD123MFI was proposed and verified to predict ZNF384 rearrangement with high sensitivity and specificity.

Summary: CD34(+) cell dose has an impact on hematopoietic recovery in ALL patients, especially in pre-HSCT MRD-positive patients, where higher CD34(+) cell doses are associated with faster neutrophil and platelet engraftment. However, we did not observe direct correlations between CD34(+) cell dose and relapse, TRM, LFS, or OS.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of AML patients with and without TP53 mutations who underwent haplo-HSCT, and found no significant differences in 2-year clinical outcomes between the two groups. Multivariable analysis also showed that TP53 mutations had no significant impact on relapse rate, mortality rate, overall survival, graft-versus-host disease, leukemia-free survival or GvHD-free/relapse-free survival. The findings suggest that patients with AML with TP53 mutations may at least partially benefit from haplo-HSCT.

Summary: This study found that EVI1 high expression was associated with poor prognosis in the Non-KMT2A-MLLT3 group and both KMT2A-MLLT3 and Non-KMT2A-MLLT3 patients who received chemotherapy alone had poorer prognosis than those who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. High EVI1 expression was shown to have an adverse effect on AML with KMT2A rearrangement in different risk stratification subtypes.
