Abstract

background The use of aspirin for the prevention of thrombotic complications in polycythemia vera is controversial. methods We enrolled 518 patients with polycythemia vera, no clear indication for aspirin treatment, and no contraindication to such treatment in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial to assess the safety and efficacy of prophylaxis with low-dose aspirin (100 mg daily). The two primary end points were the cumulative rate of nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes and the cumulative rate of nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, pulmonary embolism, major venous thrombosis, or death from cardiovascular causes. The mean duration of follow-up was about three years. results Treatment with aspirin, as compared with placebo, reduced the risk of the combined end point of nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes (relative risk, 0.41; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.15 to 1.15; P=0.09) and the risk of the combined end point of nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, pulmonary embolism, major venous thrombosis, or death from cardiovascular causes (relative risk, 0.40; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.18 to 0.91; P=0.03). Overall mortality and cardiovascular mortality were not reduced significantly. The incidence of major bleeding episodes was not significantly increased in the aspirin group (relative risk, 1.62; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.27 to 9.71). conclusions Low-dose aspirin can safely prevent thrombotic complications in patients with polycythemia vera who have no contraindications to such treatment.

Abstract

Young patients (aged 1860 years) with good-prognosis diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) [0 and 1 risk factor according to age-adjusted international prognostic index (aa-IPI)] are distinguished from patients with poor-prognosis. Six cycles of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (CHOP) in combination with rituximab achieved best results in young patients with low-risk DLBCL. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 82 patients (1860 years) with untreated aa-IPI 01 DLBCL, from six Italian institutions, who underwent, between January 2002 and January 2007, rituximab-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, methotrexate, bleomicin and prednisone (R-MACOP-B) therapy followed, in patients with bulky presentation, by 3036 Gy involved-field radiation therapy (34 patients). An overall response rate was noted in 77 out of 82 (94) patients (75 patients had a complete response (91), 2 patients had a partial response). With a median follow-up of 46 months, 7-year progression-free and overall survival were estimated to be 91 and 94, respectively. R-MACOP-B regimen followed by involved-field radiation on bulky presentation is safe and very effective in the treatment of young patients with low-risk DLBCL. © 2009 Informa Healthcare USA, Inc.

Abstract

In a randomized, phase 3 study, superior complete/near-complete response (CR/nCR) rates and extended progression-free survival were demonstrated with bortezomib-thalidomide-dexamethasone (VTD) versus thalidomide-dexamethasone (TD) as induction therapy before, and consolidation after, double autologous stem cell transplantation for newly diagnosed myeloma patients (intention-to-treat analysis; VTD, n = 236; TD, n = 238). This per-protocol analysis (VTD, n = 160; TD, n = 161) specifically assessed the efficacy and safety of consolidation with VTD or TD. Before starting consolidation, CR/nCR rates were not significantly different in the VTD (63.1%) and TD arms (54.7%). After consolidation, CR (60.6% vs 46.6%) and CR/nCR (73.1% vs 60.9%) rates were significantly higher for VTD-treated versus TD-treated patients. VTD consolidation significantly increased CR and CR/nCR rates, but TD did not (McNemar test). With a median follow-up of 30.4 months from start of consolidation, 3-year progression-free survival was significantly longer for the VTD group (60% vs 48% for TD). Grade 2 or 3 peripheral neuropathy (8.1% vs 2.4%) was more frequent with VTD (grade 3, 0.6%) versus TD consolidation. The superior efficacy of VTD versus TD as induction was retained despite readministration as consolidation therapy after double autologous transplantation. VTD consolidation therapy significantly contributed to improved clinical outcomes observed for patients randomly assigned to the VTD arm of the study. The study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01134484.

Abstract

Front line treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and chemotherapy (CHT) results in molecular remission in approximately 95% of patients tested after consolidation. The small fraction of patients with persistence of molecular disease (i.e. those in whom polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is positive for PML/RARalpha) after such therapy are thought to have a dismal prognosis but has not yet been investigated in detail.We analyzed the clinico-biological features at presentation of APL patients who showed PCR-detectable residual disease and compared them to those of patients achieving molecular remission after AIDA induction and consolidation. Furthermore, we report the outcome of patients with molecularly persistent disease treated with salvage therapy.Patients attaining molecular remission (n=650) and patients who tested PCR+ve at the end of consolidation (n=23) were not statistically significantly different as regards median age, white cell and platelet counts, morphologic subtype (M3 or M3v), fibrinogen levels or PML/RARalpha transcript type. As to treatment outcome after salvage therapy, 7 patients were treated before morphologic relapse [3 with chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT) and 4 with allogeneic SCT], and are alive after 64-118 months. Of 16 patients treated at the time of morphologic relapse, only 2 patients are alive, both of whom received an allogeneic SCT.Our findings indicate that APL patients who are molecularly resistant to the AIDA protocol have no distinguishing features at presentation. Their outcome suggests the need for early therapeutic intervention with aggressive treatment prior to the occurrence of hematologic relapse.

All patients received an identical induction with all-trans retinoic acid and idarubicin; 116 (86%) entered complete remission (CR), two (2%) were resistant and 16 (12%) died during induction. After CR, 106 patients received further therapy whereas 10 did not, because of refusal (n=5) or toxicity (n=5). Consolidation consisted of three chemotherapy courses in the AIDA protocol (AIDA, 67 patients) or, since 1997, of an amended protocol including only the first cycle (amended AIDA, aAIDA, 39 patients). In the AIDA group, 43 patients (64%) completed consolidation, while seven (11%) and 17 (25%) patients were withdrawn after first and second courses, respectively; nine patients (13%) died in CR and 12 (18%) relapsed. In the aAIDA group, all patients received the assigned treatment; two patients (5%) died in CR and six (15%) relapsed. In the AIDA and aAIDA series, the 3-year overall and discase-free survival rates were 81 and 83% (P=NS), 73 and 72% (P=NS), respectively. We highlight here the frequency and severity of complications linked to intensive chemotherapy in this clinical setting and suggest that, in APL of the elderly, less intensive postremission therapy allows significant reduction of severe treatment-related toxicity and may be equally effective.

Abstract

The coexistence of a primary myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and a T-cell cutaneous non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is an extremely rare event, which has so far only been reported in a single instance in the literature. We describe herein an additional case in which the lymphoid disease was combined with an MDS at the time of its evolution into acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Both diseases were successfully treated with a regimen containing fludarabine. We discuss possible pathogenetic mechanisms and suggest the use of nonalkylating drugs, such as fludarabine, for the treatment of this rare association of malignancies usually characterized by a very poor response to therapy.

Abstract

Spontaneous remission (SR) in de novo myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is a rare event, which has been so far described only in children with monosomy 7. The phenomenon is extremely heterogeneous, perhaps depending on different pathogeneses of the disease.We retrospectively evaluated the outcome of 564 consecutive adult patients with primary MDS diagnosed at our Institution in a 12-year period. SR was defined as an unexpected improvement lasting more than 1 year without concomitant treatments other than vitamins or low-dose steroids (in patients with platelets50 x 10(9)/L).Nine cases of SR were observed in 3 males and 6 females (median age 38.7 years). At diagnosis, all patients had Hb levels10 g/dL and 8/9 required packed red cell transfusions. The median time from diagnosis to SR was 18 months (range 4-46) and all patients had normalization of peripheral blood parameters: in 2 out of 3 patients with karyotypic abnormalities at onset, a cytogenetic remission was documented. The median duration of SR was 56 months; 5 patients are still in SR and 4 patients have relapsed (1 as MDS and 3 as acute myeloid leukemia).SR is a rare (less than 2% in our experience) but possible event also in adult MDS patients. It should be kept in mind in the evaluation of experimental treatments for MDS in which very low rates of complete responses are expected.

Abstract

The role of the host immune compartment in the control of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) has been suggested by numerous biological and clinical evidence. In the present study, the phenotypic and functional machinery of both T and cytotoxic lymphocytes was evaluated in a series of CML patients in complete haematological, and frequently also in cytogenetic, remission after treatment with interferon (IFN) alpha or hydroxyurea, and compared with the profile observed in patients at diagnosis and in normal controls. In particular, the lymphocyte subset distribution, the cytotoxic activity and the intracellular production of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)alpha and IFN gamma by CD4(+), CD8(+) and CD56(+) cells were investigated. CML patients in complete haematological remission showed a normalized CD4/CD8 T-cell subset distribution, as well as a restored spontaneous and interleukin 2 (IL-2) induced cytotoxic function compared with the pattern observed at diagnosis. This was associated with a significantly increased proportion of activated CD4(+) lymphocytes (CD25(+)). TNF alpha and IFN gamma production by CD4(+), CD8(+) and CD56(+) lymphocytes was significantly enhanced compared with that of patients at diagnosis. However, the values were lower than those of normal controls. These results indicate that, in contrast to the observations at presentation, CML patients, at the time of the best possible response to treatment, show a normalized T-cell subset distribution associated with an activated CD4 T-cell compartment and a restored cytotoxic activity. In addition, they also show a markedly increased intracellular cytokine production by the lymphoid populations that play an important role in the process of specific tumour recognition. The design of therapeutic strategies aimed at stimulating the host immune compartment finds a further rationale for CML patients responsive to treatment with both IFN alpha and hydroxyurea.

Abstract

Complete remission was observed in an adult patient with acute myelogenous leukemia after minimal monochemotherapy. Remission occurred after a severe febrile pneumonia and was accompanied by cytogenetic and molecular remission. The hypothesis of spontaneous remission was raised, even if a high sensitivity to low-dose cytostatics cannot be excluded. Such spontaneous complete remissions, often associated with bacterial infections and blood transfusions, are extremely rare, and are usually of short duration. Previous cases are summarized, and the role of etiologic factors is discussed.

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to develop a definition of myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM) using diagnostic criteria that would remain valid within the set of patients with chronic myeloproliferative disorders or myelodysplastic syndromes. A list of 12 names for the disease and 37 diagnostic criteria were proposed to a Consensus Panel of 12 Italian experts who ranked them in order so as to identify a core set of criteria. The Panel was then asked to score the diagnosis of 46 patient profiles as appropriate or not appropriate for MMM. Using the experts' consensus as the gold standard, the performance of 90 possible definitions of the disease obtained through the core set was evaluated. 'Myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia' ranked as the preferred name of the disease. Necessary criteria consisted of 'diffuse bone marrow fibrosis' and 'absence of Philadelphia chromosome or BCR-ABL rearrangement in peripheral blood cells'. The six optional criteria in the core set consisted of: splenomegaly of any grade; anisopoikilocytosis with tear-drop erythrocytes; the presence of circulating immature myeloid cells; the presence of circulating erythroblasts: the presence of clusters of megakaryoblasts and anomalous megakaryocytes in bone marrow sections; myeloid metaplasia. The definition of the disease with the highest final score was as follows: necessary criteria plus any other two criteria when splenomegaly is present or any four when splenomegaly is absent. The use of this definition will help to standardize the conduct and reporting of clinical studies and should help practitioners in clinical practice.
