Transcript

  • 00:00So the abstracts that are selected were
  • 00:03chosen by the speakers because they are
  • 00:06the most clinically relevant and they are
  • 00:09grouped in areas of clinical unmet need.
  • 00:12Of course that doesn't mean that other
  • 00:15abstracts that have been presented in
  • 00:18the meeting or are as good or important,
  • 00:21but you have to choose basically for this
  • 00:24type of sessions important to remember.
  • 00:27Again, many of the ash presentations.
  • 00:31Basically are focused on preliminary
  • 00:33data and subsequently some of those
  • 00:36results might be modified and
  • 00:38they are still not peer reviewed,
  • 00:40so this is important to keep up in mind as we
  • 00:45think about the data that will be presented.
  • 00:50That there will be a recording of
  • 00:52this session and all the sessions.
  • 00:54This will be available and accessible as
  • 00:57in during material in addition to the
  • 00:59slides and at the end of the entire series,
  • 01:02the six sessions you'll be able
  • 01:04to claim your CME credit.
  • 01:05For those of you who wants to claim it.
  • 01:08After you answer a brief evaluation
  • 01:10and some feedback about how we can
  • 01:13improve the format of of the series.
  • 01:17So today it's a pleasure
  • 01:19to introduce the speakers.
  • 01:21Sorry, there's a typo here is clearly
  • 01:23this is not on my Lloyd update.
  • 01:26It's the pediatric leukemia updates.
  • 01:28So Doctor but also full start by.
  • 01:32Talking to us about major
  • 01:33updates from the meeting about
  • 01:35Accutane for blastic leukemia.
  • 01:38Then Doctor Nina Kadan Lotic will
  • 01:40update us and I think some of the
  • 01:43most important updates from the
  • 01:45ASH meeting on pediatric leukemias,
  • 01:48including LL, of course,
  • 01:50and then at the end, Dr.
  • 01:52Nikita Shah will present to us or
  • 01:55will moderate the Q&A session for any
  • 01:58questions that will arise about the
  • 02:01talks that will be presented our the.
  • 02:04Abstractly presented,
  • 02:05but also about any other additional
  • 02:07questions about pediatric hematology,
  • 02:09and in general so we look forward
  • 02:12to a very exciting discussion,
  • 02:15and I would like to start by
  • 02:18introducing Doctor Nikolai Bodos.
  • 02:20If our associate professor of medicine,
  • 02:23here in the hematologist auction,
  • 02:25who focuses on Accutane for blastic leukemia.
  • 02:36Nicola, you're on mute.
  • 02:44He would go so almost there next.
  • 02:48Let me see. Looking for
  • 02:51my PowerPoint here ago.
  • 02:56Right, and do you see a single screen?
  • 03:01Yep OK alright. So hold on one second let
  • 03:05me just get to the beginning of all this.
  • 03:10Not sure why this happened this way.
  • 03:15So I would like to start
  • 03:17from a brief introduction,
  • 03:18so this are my disclosures.
  • 03:20And we will be talking about
  • 03:23acute lymphoblastic leukemia,
  • 03:24which is further abbreviated as a LL.
  • 03:28This is still the disease of the young
  • 03:30and I represent adult hematology here,
  • 03:32so Nina will be talking to what's happening
  • 03:35in this field in pediatric hematology.
  • 03:37And we certainly learned a lot over the
  • 03:39last years from our pediatric colleagues,
  • 03:42so this shows you that about 6000 patients
  • 03:44are diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic
  • 03:46leukemia per year in the United States,
  • 03:49and only about 2000 of
  • 03:50them are actually adults.
  • 03:52Median age of diagnosis, as you can see,
  • 03:54is around 9 years old and about
  • 03:571500 deaths per year, most of them.
  • 04:00Are adults.
  • 04:02So these survival remains very
  • 04:03different between pediatric LL
  • 04:05patients and adult male patients,
  • 04:06and you can see 5 year old survival
  • 04:09is about 90% and children and
  • 04:12still half of that in adults.
  • 04:14So we're excited to have approvals
  • 04:17for newbs CLL therapies.
  • 04:19You can call them immuno therapies.
  • 04:22This includes approval of
  • 04:24Blinatumomab in 2017 by FDA.
  • 04:26It's a bispecific T cell engager
  • 04:29attacking CD 19 positive B cells
  • 04:32including the lymphoblasts.
  • 04:33Also in 2017 there was an approval notice
  • 04:37amalgamation which is antibody drag Queen.
  • 04:40You get attacking CD 22 on again
  • 04:43B cells and finally approval of.
  • 04:46It is a jungle occlusal.
  • 04:49The car T cell therapy for younger
  • 04:51patients with relapsed refractory disease.
  • 04:54Again,
  • 04:54attacking CD 19 cells on view lymphoblasts.
  • 04:57This is for patients who are
  • 05:00younger than 26 or younger,
  • 05:02so the mechanism of action is bluna.
  • 05:05Tumors represent on this slide is bite.
  • 05:08Bispecific T cell engager,
  • 05:10which attaches cytotoxic T
  • 05:11cells to tumor cells.
  • 05:13Through a CD 19 and by means of
  • 05:16this attachment increases the.
  • 05:19A pop ptosis of this tumor cells?
  • 05:21So the studies which put this on
  • 05:24the map and make it available to
  • 05:27us are tower phase three study,
  • 05:29which looked at Glenna to mob
  • 05:31in relapsed refractory disease
  • 05:33against conventional chemotherapy.
  • 05:35And as you can see,
  • 05:37there was a survival difference
  • 05:39of 7.7 versus four months,
  • 05:41which was statistically significant.
  • 05:43Response rate was 44%,
  • 05:44with 76% achieving mean negative,
  • 05:46minimal residual disease.
  • 05:48So this is all control study
  • 05:50also blinatumomab it's an.
  • 05:52It's a phase two study single arm
  • 05:54looking at BLT amount for Peach paused,
  • 05:57available patients and again you can
  • 05:59see that the survival here for this
  • 06:02patients with relapsed refractory pH.
  • 06:03Posted bail is about 7.1 months with
  • 06:06response rate of 36% among those patients.
  • 06:08So the drug is approved for both
  • 06:11relapse refractory pH positive
  • 06:12and pH negative B cell L patients.
  • 06:15The next drug is in its mother's advice
  • 06:18and its antibody drag Queen you get.
  • 06:20Which brings Felicia my son to
  • 06:23the B cell positive for CD 22.
  • 06:25After internalization,
  • 06:26the drug is released inside the cell
  • 06:29and code goes to the nucleus to cause
  • 06:32cause DNA damage in a pop ptosis.
  • 06:35Some of the drugs you can see
  • 06:37can be flexed
  • 06:38and circulating blood causing the
  • 06:40main side effect of this medication
  • 06:43in occlusive disease and deliver.
  • 06:46So this study we as a Cancer Center
  • 06:49participated in and contributed patients
  • 06:51to innovate phase three study looked
  • 06:53at the data some up again and relapse
  • 06:56refractory B cell L patients including
  • 06:58Peach posed accomplish negative
  • 07:00and showed improved survival when
  • 07:02compared to standard therapy group.
  • 07:03So the median overall survival was 7.7
  • 07:06versus 6.7 months and response rate was
  • 07:09kind of double of what we see in Blender.
  • 07:12Two map studies about 80% again
  • 07:14with most of the patients 17%.
  • 07:16Accomplishing negative minimal
  • 07:18residual disease status.
  • 07:20So today I'm going to talk about four
  • 07:24studies and basically all of them.
  • 07:28Are about adult patients with
  • 07:30the introduction of drugs,
  • 07:31which I used in relapse refractory setting
  • 07:34in the frontline therapy for some of them.
  • 07:37So we are trying to capitalize on the
  • 07:41accomplishment and approval of this
  • 07:43drugs and try to move them up front
  • 07:46to get our patients to have better
  • 07:49responses and ultimately survival.
  • 07:50So the studies are grouped based
  • 07:53on our approach to management of
  • 07:55these patients and refers to wall.
  • 07:58Look at the patient age and
  • 08:00then Peach chromosome status,
  • 08:02pH positive and pH.
  • 08:04Negative patients are treated quite
  • 08:06differently as you will see.
  • 08:07So the first study is from MD Anderson
  • 08:11Cancer Center and I would like to thank
  • 08:14all of the presenting authors who gave
  • 08:17me their slides to share with you today.
  • 08:20So the first study is about pH,
  • 08:23negative B cell L adults who were treated
  • 08:26with Hyper Civitan sequential blinatumomab.
  • 08:29And again, the speech negative patients.
  • 08:30So let's have a look at the results of
  • 08:33this phase two study from MD Anderson.
  • 08:35So the primary endpoint of the study was
  • 08:37relapse free survival secondary endpoints.
  • 08:39You can look at here including overall
  • 08:42response rate and MRD negativity rate.
  • 08:44So this you are newly
  • 08:46diagnosed patients with pH,
  • 08:47negative B cell,
  • 08:48LL patients could receive one cycle
  • 08:50induction chemotherapy prior to enrollment.
  • 08:52Of course they have to get to MD Anderson
  • 08:55from elsewhere where they treated.
  • 08:58So that's why they kind of broaden
  • 09:00the inclusion criteria this way.
  • 09:02Interestingly,
  • 09:02they included patients age 14 and older,
  • 09:05so this is usually going in the
  • 09:07territory where Nina treats patients,
  • 09:10so they allowed enrollment of younger
  • 09:12patients on the study this patients.
  • 09:15Have to be eligible for intensive
  • 09:17chemotherapy.
  • 09:18Equal Performance status of three
  • 09:20or less adequate organ function
  • 09:22and no significant CNS involvement.
  • 09:24So CNS patients patient was
  • 09:26seen as leukemia were excluded,
  • 09:28so this is the schema of the study.
  • 09:32You can see this is 4 cycles
  • 09:34of hyper seaward, part A&B,
  • 09:37with addition of Rituxan two patients for CD,
  • 09:4020 positive or over to map another
  • 09:43CD 20 antibody.
  • 09:44As well as use of prophylactic it
  • 09:47chemotherapy sectarian metrics 8 so
  • 09:49after finishing this intensive phase,
  • 09:51patients would go to blender two
  • 09:53more phase where they would receive
  • 09:556 four cycles of blinatumomab,
  • 09:57four weeks on continuous infusion,
  • 09:59two weeks off and.
  • 10:00Go to maintenance phase which
  • 10:02is actually 18 as opposed to 36
  • 10:05months and the blender two map is
  • 10:08incorporated between the cycles of pomp,
  • 10:11chemotherapy and additional
  • 10:123 cycles of blinatumomab.
  • 10:13As you can see here.
  • 10:16So these are the patients who were
  • 10:18enrolled in the study, 38 patients.
  • 10:21And as you can see the age difference.
  • 10:24The H variance was between 17 and 59.
  • 10:28The patients about 32% of patients had.
  • 10:31Adverse karyotype the pH like
  • 10:33positive patients were 19% as
  • 10:35defined by presence of CRLF 21.
  • 10:38Flow cytometry testing,
  • 10:39and 27% of patients get TP 53 mutation.
  • 10:43So this is one of the secondary points
  • 10:46response rates CR after induction was
  • 10:49accomplished in 81% of patients and then yes,
  • 10:52you know they preceded with Blender
  • 10:55two Mob and at the end of 32 patients
  • 10:59accomplished a CR and MRD,
  • 11:01negativity was 71%.
  • 11:02After induction and 97% at anytime
  • 11:05during the study,
  • 11:06early mortality was at 0.
  • 11:09So.
  • 11:09I relapse free.
  • 11:11Survival was not one of the endpoints
  • 11:14of the study, and as you can see,
  • 11:17relapse free survival at two years is 71%.
  • 11:20At one year,
  • 11:2180% overall survival was at two years of 80%,
  • 11:24so it's pretty impressive numbers for
  • 11:27patients for adults with B cell LL.
  • 11:29Of course you know this particular group
  • 11:33included younger patients 17 and older.
  • 11:35So this is comparing the results
  • 11:37of current study in blue with
  • 11:40another study done in the same
  • 11:43institution earlier hyper.
  • 11:44See what with over to Mumbai think
  • 11:4760 plus patient 69 patients and
  • 11:49you can see that both studies show
  • 11:52comperable to overall survival,
  • 11:55but the plateau of no mortality
  • 11:57after two years for the current
  • 12:00study is very encouraging.
  • 12:02So the side effects specifically
  • 12:04adverse events of interest.
  • 12:06Related to Blender two map
  • 12:08highlighted in yellow side,
  • 12:09The kind Release syndrome Grade 3 four
  • 12:13was only seen in one patient and.
  • 12:16It in your logical amounts were
  • 12:19seen in 13% of patients.
  • 12:21One patient,
  • 12:22discontinued blended home up due to toxicity.
  • 12:25It was great to encephalopathy and dysphasia,
  • 12:28so the conclusion of this
  • 12:30presentation is here.
  • 12:31Hyper Squad with Sequential
  • 12:34Blinatumomab is highly effective.
  • 12:36Frontline therapy for pH negative deal
  • 12:38adults, MRD rate was 97% year old,
  • 12:41survival was 80%.
  • 12:42There are no relapses beyond two years.
  • 12:45There was low rate of grade three
  • 12:47adverse events related to blinatumomab
  • 12:49and at this time protocol is amended
  • 12:52and now includes in autism observation.
  • 12:54In addition to Blender tomorrow
  • 12:57for frontline management of this
  • 12:59group of patients. So the 2nd.
  • 13:04Study or two studies.
  • 13:05I would like to talk about our about
  • 13:07older adults and the definition
  • 13:09of all the adults in BLL world is
  • 13:12different in different places.
  • 13:13The first study again from this
  • 13:15study is actually from Germany.
  • 13:17German leukemia group and you know
  • 13:19their definition of older adult was
  • 13:2155 and older and then there will be.
  • 13:24I will present results of meaning
  • 13:26high perceived within autism
  • 13:27up with or without Minotaur map.
  • 13:29Here the definition is age 60 and older.
  • 13:32So let's start from the German study.
  • 13:34So this is. Initial one phase two trial
  • 13:37which looked at induction treatment
  • 13:39with three cycles of inotuzumab instead
  • 13:41of regular chemotherapy induction,
  • 13:43followed by standard to consolidate if
  • 13:45approach from Journal Leukemia Group,
  • 13:47which as you can see, is reasonably intense.
  • 13:50Includes a asparaginase administration.
  • 13:52It looks like 3 times.
  • 13:54Also for CD 20 positive patients
  • 13:56there is rituximab and so on.
  • 13:58So this consolidation requires admission.
  • 14:00And then there is about you know half
  • 14:03of 6 MP methotrexate maintenance.
  • 14:06Uh, so. The results,
  • 14:09which were presented included
  • 14:11mostly 31 patients,
  • 14:13those who received at least one
  • 14:15cycle Organism up induction and
  • 14:18could be assessed for remission.
  • 14:20So the patient characteristics table
  • 14:22shows that patients which were enrolled
  • 14:26were between 56 and 80 years old and
  • 14:29you can see that all of these patients
  • 14:32obviously had CD 22 expression.
  • 14:34Different density of
  • 14:36expression is represented here.
  • 14:38So, uh,
  • 14:39the secondary point end point of
  • 14:41the study was response rates,
  • 14:43and you can see that out 31 patients
  • 14:47they looked at 100% had response CRCR I.
  • 14:50And now this actually, you know,
  • 14:53for patients receive three cycles.
  • 14:5684% so some of them have their early
  • 14:59relapses and there are no early deaths
  • 15:02and then MRD was accomplished in
  • 15:0478% of patients with this strategy.
  • 15:06So there were some haematological
  • 15:08and molecular responses.
  • 15:10As you can see total of three
  • 15:12and allogeneic stem transplant in
  • 15:14remission was provided to three of
  • 15:17those patients and one patient went
  • 15:19to transplant after relapse so only
  • 15:22four patients were transplanted
  • 15:23out of this 31. So this is.
  • 15:26The primary endpoint is on the right
  • 15:28event free survival at one year,
  • 15:30so was 87%.
  • 15:31So for all the group of patients
  • 15:33is actually pretty good and then
  • 15:35overall survival at one year was
  • 15:37also 87% events were defined,
  • 15:39it persisting one marrable us after two
  • 15:41cycles went into some of relapse or death.
  • 15:44So this is a side effects are in relation
  • 15:46to inductions within a two zone map.
  • 15:49As you can see after initial
  • 15:51induction that are more cytopenias.
  • 15:53But you know this kind of decreases
  • 15:55overtime obviously and then
  • 15:57the side effect of interest.
  • 15:58Here adverse event of interest would
  • 16:01be LFT abnormalities because we
  • 16:03inclusive disease is one of those
  • 16:04things we watch for and then some of
  • 16:07treated patients and LFTS elevation
  • 16:09were not common and no patients
  • 16:11had been occlusive disease.
  • 16:12Of course only four.
  • 16:13Patients out of city one went to
  • 16:16allogeneic stem cell transplant.
  • 16:18The conclusion of the study in this
  • 16:20map seems to be highly effective as
  • 16:23monotherapy and using haematological
  • 16:24remission in all patients with MRD
  • 16:27accomplished in more than 70% of
  • 16:29patients had acceptable toxicity.
  • 16:30No early deaths observed.
  • 16:33Novena occlusive disease.
  • 16:34Promising survival 80% overall
  • 16:36survival benefit survival at one
  • 16:38year and finally another man has a
  • 16:40great potential to become standard
  • 16:41induction option in all the patients
  • 16:43with newly diagnosed
  • 16:44BLL. So we're not using this regiment at
  • 16:47Yale, and I don't think it is frequently
  • 16:50used in the United States, so we're kind
  • 16:53of more interested in high perceived,
  • 16:55which is of course the Backbone Regiment for
  • 16:57MD Anderson Cancer Center and many hyper.
  • 17:00See what is something we used
  • 17:02in some patients over years?
  • 17:03Older patients with?
  • 17:04We sell LL as well as T cell LL.
  • 17:08So I'm going to share with you the
  • 17:11results of this mini high perceived study,
  • 17:14which added in a tumor band later
  • 17:16one blinatumomab for management
  • 17:18of all the patients with Vissel.
  • 17:20So here, ages 60 or more before
  • 17:23on status up to three.
  • 17:25Adequate organ function ejection
  • 17:27fraction should be more than 40%.
  • 17:29So those reduced so-called meaning hyper
  • 17:32see what consists of cyclophosphamide
  • 17:34reduced by 50% dexamethasone,
  • 17:36again reduced by 50%.
  • 17:37There is no under cycling metrics
  • 17:40take high dose metrics,
  • 17:42a reduced by 75% anhydrous site,
  • 17:44urban by 83%.
  • 17:45So the inner tubes mob was added one day,
  • 17:49three for the first 4 courses and
  • 17:52rituximab was used as usual on D2 and
  • 17:55eight with four CD 20 positive patients.
  • 17:59Patients already also received it.
  • 18:01Chemotherapy prophylaxis.
  • 18:02So this is the schema of the study.
  • 18:05You can see that there are the eight
  • 18:08cycles with it chemotherapy administered
  • 18:10during the first 4 as well as in ministered.
  • 18:14As I specified overtime,
  • 18:15the dozing off into some other Wolf
  • 18:18first six patients higher dose than
  • 18:21those was like lower dose than hide.
  • 18:23Those was escalated,
  • 18:25and then finally at the end they settled
  • 18:28on a dose of 1.3 on cycle one and one.
  • 18:32On Cycle 2,
  • 18:33four.
  • 18:33So the study was further modified
  • 18:36after enrollment of 49 patients,
  • 18:38and here you can see that
  • 18:40four out of eight cycles,
  • 18:42we only have 4 cycles of chemotherapy.
  • 18:45Now Inotuzumab is given twice per cycle,
  • 18:48and the dozing is here and blender to map.
  • 18:524 cycles of blinatumomab I added in
  • 18:55consolidation phase and maintenance
  • 18:56was reduced from 36 months to
  • 18:5918 months and now also includes
  • 19:01four cycles of blinatumomab.
  • 19:03So once again,
  • 19:04this is starting from patient 50.
  • 19:06An further total number of
  • 19:08patients enrolled in this phase.
  • 19:10Two trial with 70 patients.
  • 19:11So 20 patients receive treatment this way.
  • 19:14So this is characteristics of the patients.
  • 19:16And as you can see that you know these
  • 19:19are all the patients 6281 and there
  • 19:22are 41% of them are 70 or older.
  • 19:24The complex karyotype as well as other
  • 19:27cytogenetic abnormalities which I
  • 19:28usually associate with worse outcomes.
  • 19:30I seen in at least a third of those patients.
  • 19:34As well as quite a few patients
  • 19:36had that Peach like disease and
  • 19:39TP53 mutated disease,
  • 19:40so the overall response rate was 98%.
  • 19:43This includes CR,
  • 19:45CR P&CRI and there were no early deaths.
  • 19:48MRD response on the 21 I was observed in
  • 19:5278% and overall in 96% of the patients.
  • 19:55So the reason that why numbers
  • 19:58are all different, there's been.
  • 20:00Five patients were enrolled in
  • 20:02CR on this
  • 20:03study. This is the patients who received
  • 20:05one cycle before they were enrolled
  • 20:07because they have to make it to MD
  • 20:09Anderson to start their treatment.
  • 20:11So these are grade three adverse
  • 20:12events and I just highlighted here
  • 20:14being occlusive disease, which was
  • 20:16seen only in nine percent of patients.
  • 20:20So this is the complete remission duration,
  • 20:23which at three years was 79%.
  • 20:25That's the top blue line.
  • 20:27The Red line is overall survival
  • 20:29line 56% at three years.
  • 20:31Once again these are all the patients
  • 20:33and there's a pretty good results
  • 20:35for this population of patients.
  • 20:37So this slide highlights worse outcomes
  • 20:40in patients who are 70 and older.
  • 20:42This is the blue line.
  • 20:44As you can see,
  • 20:46three azerate three year survival rate
  • 20:48was 65 for patients who are 60 to 69 and.
  • 20:51Only 43 for patients 470 and older.
  • 20:55So I think you can see that.
  • 20:59Conclusions are based on this results.
  • 21:01Overall response rate was 98%
  • 21:03margin negativity in 96%.
  • 21:04There were no early deaths.
  • 21:063 SCR duration was 79.
  • 21:08Overall survival of 56%.
  • 21:10Best outcomes of course.
  • 21:11In patients who are 60 to 69 and
  • 21:14style studies now amended to
  • 21:16eliminate chemotherapy for patients
  • 21:18for 70 and older and older.
  • 21:21A longer follow-up is of course
  • 21:23needed to determine if a low dose
  • 21:25fractionated into some oven blender
  • 21:26to warm up will improve outcomes.
  • 21:29So finally the last study is
  • 21:31about pH positive DLL patients.
  • 21:33Again, this is a study from MD Anderson Ann.
  • 21:37Its interim results of the Phase 1
  • 21:39two study of the Fanatic Phonetic
  • 21:42locks and dexamethasone for
  • 21:44patients with relapsed or refractory
  • 21:46Philadelphia chromosome positive LL.
  • 21:48So as you know,
  • 21:49the never clocks is the drug
  • 21:51which is currently approved for
  • 21:53frontline treatment together with
  • 21:55hyperventilating agents with FI LL
  • 21:57also approved for treatment of CLL
  • 21:59and so this is a BCL two inhibitor.
  • 22:02So what is the logic of trying
  • 22:05this drug in patients with DLL Now
  • 22:08the outcomes of relapse refractory
  • 22:10disease in Peach posted below poor.
  • 22:13So the PACE trial showed that
  • 22:15the native can induce responses
  • 22:17and 40% of patients but one year
  • 22:20progression free survival is only 8%.
  • 22:23So pH positive LL is highly dependent
  • 22:25on BCL two protein for its survival
  • 22:28and that's why potentially there is
  • 22:31a therapeutic role for phonetic lax.
  • 22:34Preclinical studies also showed
  • 22:35that platinum can cooperate with an
  • 22:38attic locks and be synergistic in
  • 22:40attacking Peach positive LL cells.
  • 22:42So there is synergistic inhibition of growth.
  • 22:45An induction of Opelousas,
  • 22:46and perhaps the reason for it is
  • 22:50inhibition of Lynn tires in Chinese by
  • 22:53platinum and it increases beam and.
  • 22:56Which prevents MCL one upregulation MCL.
  • 22:58One is another anti up anti optic
  • 23:01protein and usually in escape route
  • 23:04when BCL two anti apoptosis is inhibited.
  • 23:08So the results which were presented
  • 23:10at ASH 2020 were results of the phase
  • 23:12one of the study. Only nine patients.
  • 23:14But you know,
  • 23:15they are quite interesting and that's why
  • 23:17I selected this for the discussion today.
  • 23:20My so the point of Phase one studies of
  • 23:22course to identify maximal tolerated
  • 23:24dose of another class in combination
  • 23:27with platinum and dexamethasone.
  • 23:28There are secondary endpoint including
  • 23:30CMR 8 Relapse free survival,
  • 23:32overall survival and of course, safety.
  • 23:34So.
  • 23:35The patients who were included on
  • 23:37the study
  • 23:38where patients with relapsed
  • 23:41refractory Peach positive LL with
  • 23:43CML in lymphoid blah space and they
  • 23:46have to be treated by at least one
  • 23:50desireable TTI prior to the study.
  • 23:52Age was 18 and older.
  • 23:55Oclock performance status
  • 23:56like in previous study.
  • 23:58Adequate organ function nor uncontrolled
  • 24:00active cardiovascular disease.
  • 24:01Becausw Anatomy was known to have
  • 24:03cardiovascular toxicity arterial occlusive,
  • 24:05occlusive events,
  • 24:05and no prior use of genetic lacks.
  • 24:08So this is the schema of the study.
  • 24:11Initially,
  • 24:11patients were open at 9:45 for seven days,
  • 24:14then the network locks ramp up together with
  • 24:17dexamethasone for four days at 40 milligrams,
  • 24:20so the phase one included
  • 24:22ramping up to 400 milligrams,
  • 24:24or 800 milligrams.
  • 24:25So this were two.
  • 24:27Those are some phonetic lacks which
  • 24:29were accomplished in this study,
  • 24:31so not new,
  • 24:33but those was further reduced with.
  • 24:37Haematological response to 30 milligrams
  • 24:39and for patients with accomplished
  • 24:41complete molecular response to.
  • 24:4215 milligrams.
  • 24:43To avoid arterial occlusive events and
  • 24:46other side effects so as you can see,
  • 24:49patients also received CNS prophylaxis
  • 24:52and Rituxan if they were CD 20 positive.
  • 24:55So this is the characteristic of this.
  • 24:58Nine patients enrolled on this phase.
  • 25:00One of the study you can see
  • 25:03that the issue is 26 to 73.
  • 25:05There were no patience with the
  • 25:07with performance status of three,
  • 25:09so half of the patients had T315I mutations.
  • 25:12And as you can see it was very
  • 25:15heavily pretreated group.
  • 25:1717% order received platinum probably
  • 25:18going to my treatment and 56% of patients
  • 25:21and prior transplant in 67% of patients.
  • 25:24So nine but very heavily pretreated
  • 25:26patients with relapsed refractory disease.
  • 25:29So we're not even look like
  • 25:31Sundecks didn't cause any deal
  • 25:32tease those limited toxicities.
  • 25:34Maximal tolerated dose was not reached.
  • 25:37Three patients were treated or
  • 25:38magnetic locks 400 milligram those
  • 25:40level one and six patients receive
  • 25:43genetic lacks 800 milligrams and
  • 25:45this was selected to be recommended.
  • 25:47Phase two dose.
  • 25:48There are no early mortality so
  • 25:50the side effects are listed here.
  • 25:52I think 1 interesting side effect in
  • 25:55this storm Bolick event which occurred
  • 25:57in one patient and was graded as Grade 3.
  • 26:01Patient had DVT MP.
  • 26:02There are patients who had
  • 26:04great for Trump aside opinion,
  • 26:07neutropenia but no febrile neutropenia.
  • 26:09Not great four.
  • 26:10So reasonably acceptable.
  • 26:11Side effect profile for this
  • 26:13heavily pretreated group of
  • 26:15relapse refractory patients.
  • 26:17So the response rate was 56%.
  • 26:19Of course,
  • 26:20it's five out of nine patients,
  • 26:2344% of four now had CR and one had CR.
  • 26:27I complete.
  • 26:28Molecular response was accomplished.
  • 26:31I'm on 4 out of nine patients and
  • 26:33complete molecular response after
  • 26:35first cycle was in three patients.
  • 26:37One patient actually responded by
  • 26:39decreasing blossom mirror from
  • 26:4194 to 6% had neutrophil recovery
  • 26:42in place with recovery,
  • 26:44but was not counted as responded because
  • 26:46Blacks were still about 5% in the marrow.
  • 26:49So this is to highlight that phonetic
  • 26:51likes those 800 milligram patients
  • 26:53are the only patients who responded.
  • 26:56None of the three patients
  • 26:57who received an attic LAX
  • 26:59at 400. Those responded, but five out of 6.
  • 27:03Our patients in those two with 800
  • 27:05milligrams of another class had response,
  • 27:08so this is of course 9 patients.
  • 27:10Potassium plus fanatical X
  • 27:12one year old survival, 63%.
  • 27:14Only two patients died and those were
  • 27:16nonresponders they were not relapse patients.
  • 27:19They did not respond to the magnet
  • 27:21and Venetic lacks combination.
  • 27:23And as you can see this
  • 27:25is six months or less.
  • 27:273 survival of 100% for five
  • 27:29patients is reasonably reassuring.
  • 27:31You once again it's a small phase one study.
  • 27:35So in conclusion,
  • 27:36this is oral regimen of banana
  • 27:38phonetic likes and dexamethasone,
  • 27:40and this looks like safe and
  • 27:42effective in heavily pretreated,
  • 27:43relapsed refractory Peach
  • 27:45post available patients.
  • 27:46Maximal tolerated dose was not reached,
  • 27:48and those selected for phase two of
  • 27:51this study is 800 MG CR CR rate was
  • 27:5456 on CMR rate was 44% responses
  • 27:57were observed across subgroups,
  • 27:58but may be high in Veneta clocks.
  • 28:01800 milligram daily Group estimated one
  • 28:03year old survival 63% no relapses today.
  • 28:06Correlative studies ongoing
  • 28:07to better understand mechanism
  • 28:09of response and resistance.
  • 28:10So what do we do with yell
  • 28:14to introduce this new drugs?
  • 28:16Our two frontline management of
  • 28:18our patients so we are opening this
  • 28:20alliance study phase two trial
  • 28:22overnight as a mob induction,
  • 28:24followed by Glenna to map consolidation
  • 28:26for patients with newly diagnosed
  • 28:28or relapse refractory CD.
  • 28:2922 points of DLL.
  • 28:30I have to say that CD 19 and CD 22
  • 28:34positivity is seen in more than
  • 28:3690% of patients with SLE,
  • 28:38so this cohort one includes patients
  • 28:40older than 60 and older and we will
  • 28:43be looking at event free survival,
  • 28:45one event free survival.
  • 28:46For this transplant in eligible
  • 28:48patient group with newly diagnosed LL,
  • 28:50the cohort two is for younger
  • 28:53patients who have relapsed refractory
  • 28:54disease and you know,
  • 28:56of course this patients potentially can
  • 28:58go to transplant if they have response.
  • 29:01So this combination makes sense
  • 29:02because of the existing vanity.
  • 29:04Zoom up within occlusive disease post
  • 29:06transplant and even without transplant.
  • 29:08And that's why we would like to
  • 29:10separate transplant by giving other
  • 29:12treatments to this patients in between.
  • 29:15Another modern transplant itself.
  • 29:16So I would like to wrap it up at
  • 29:21this point and next speaker doctor,
  • 29:23Nina,
  • 29:23Kate and Logic will be talking
  • 29:26about pediatric AOL studies.
  • 29:39You know, now you have to share your
  • 29:41slides. I just unshared. Thank you.
  • 29:57So thank you,
  • 29:58I'm going to now shift the focus.
  • 30:00Two childhood adolescent and young
  • 30:03adult ELL and I'm including young
  • 30:06adult because often the eligibility
  • 30:08for our studies extend well into
  • 30:11the 20s and sometimes older.
  • 30:16So I'm going to focus most of my time on
  • 30:21the 1st three abstracts. The first is our.
  • 30:29Presented the results of our recently
  • 30:32closed T cell lymphoblastic leukemia.
  • 30:35Lymphoma study AALL 1231 in which Pertuzumab
  • 30:38was studied and which cranial radiation
  • 30:41was illuminated for 90% of patients.
  • 30:44Next, I'm going to discuss results of
  • 30:48using Blue Netuma map versus intensive
  • 30:51chemo in children in high risk.
  • 30:54First, relapse of B cell LL.
  • 30:57Anne, and then I'm going to
  • 31:01discuss some results regarding
  • 31:03the prior use of Luna to mmap.
  • 31:05As associated with karty outcomes.
  • 31:11And then I'm going to shift and talk
  • 31:14a bit about toxicity related to
  • 31:17asparagine ease and maybe some of the
  • 31:20factors associated with that toxicity.
  • 31:28The first study is by the study chair,
  • 31:31Doctor Teachey and I would like
  • 31:34to also thank all the authors,
  • 31:37investigators who slides I will present.
  • 31:41And this is a ALL 1231.
  • 31:44The reason that there is a
  • 31:47T allow study even though.
  • 31:51Three year event free survival
  • 31:53approaches 90% is that T cell
  • 31:56patients can't really be salvage.
  • 31:58They have really. Abysmal outcomes.
  • 32:02If they relapse, so the goal is to try
  • 32:07to treat them up front as much as possible.
  • 32:12So part is Amab is a proteasome inhibitor.
  • 32:15It inhibits Dave teaching would call it
  • 32:19the garbage can of the cell it inhibits.
  • 32:23And is supposed to be pretty old.
  • 32:26Zones are supposed to take
  • 32:28care of waste from the cell.
  • 32:30Inhibitors inhibit a number
  • 32:31of the regulatory proteins,
  • 32:33including NF KB,
  • 32:34which is very important in T
  • 32:36cell LL pathogenesis.
  • 32:37It's been shown in relapse studies
  • 32:40to be well tolerated and effective.
  • 32:43So therefore it was the basis of this
  • 32:46study and the Burtis amab is an upfront
  • 32:50randomization randomization that starts
  • 32:52an induction and those randomized
  • 32:54get a total of eight doses of autism.
  • 32:58The induction backbone changed for
  • 33:00TLL compared to past studies in a
  • 33:03nonrandomized way based on British
  • 33:06data in which all patients get
  • 33:08dexamethasone and two doses of peg.
  • 33:11Asparagine, Ace, and then randomization.
  • 33:13Is based on end of consolidation MRD.
  • 33:18So one is classified as standard res
  • 33:21intermediate risk or very high risk.
  • 33:23Based on that and the backbone very
  • 33:26slightly in terms of the intensive
  • 33:29therapy based on risk status.
  • 33:31The only group that gets radiation
  • 33:34are the very high risk patients.
  • 33:38For those who are seen as positive
  • 33:41at diagnosis,
  • 33:4190% of patients do not get
  • 33:44radiation and this was decided.
  • 33:46And that was one of the decisions
  • 33:48for using dexamethasone induction
  • 33:50because of the tire CNS penetration.
  • 33:52There was a great goal in our
  • 33:55group because of the high cure
  • 33:58rates in the long term.
  • 33:59Late effects to try to
  • 34:01eliminate this this radiation.
  • 34:06The T lymphoblastic lymphoma patients
  • 34:08were also eligible for this study
  • 34:11and their end of consolidation.
  • 34:13MRD was based on Image Ng and I
  • 34:15do want to emphasize patients 1
  • 34:18to 30 years were eligible and we
  • 34:21do have patients throughout that
  • 34:24range so the majority are under 18.
  • 34:30This time is expected to accrue 1400
  • 34:33patients over 4.4 years, most powered
  • 34:36for a 5% difference in four year EFS.
  • 34:41However, it only enrolled 847 patients
  • 34:44because went at that point to the
  • 34:47results of the precursor study was
  • 34:50available in that precursor study.
  • 34:53AALL 0434 randomized to know Larabee
  • 34:57nor not and was. Found to be.
  • 35:03Very much an advantage to having
  • 35:06allara been with event free survival.
  • 35:10Advantage of about 5% and also
  • 35:14at lower CNS recurrence rate.
  • 35:17So that's the study was
  • 35:20amended and closed early and.
  • 35:24This is what was presented is the
  • 35:27patients that were enrolled at 800
  • 35:31approximately 800 patients and for TI.
  • 35:34Don't know why this keeps moving for TLL,
  • 35:39the. There was no difference.
  • 35:43Arm A was the standard arm in ARM,
  • 35:46B was upper to some arm.
  • 35:48There was no difference in three
  • 35:51year EFS or in three year.
  • 35:53Overall survival by arm.
  • 35:57But when one looked at it by risk group,
  • 36:00those who were standard risk or who
  • 36:03had the lowest MRD at the end of
  • 36:06consolidation had a clear advantage
  • 36:09of 92% versus 85% in three year FS.
  • 36:12And there was a similar advantage
  • 36:14in their intermediate risk.
  • 36:16There was no advantage for purchase map,
  • 36:18but in fact those who got burnt to the
  • 36:22map did worse for very high risk TLL.
  • 36:25Those who had high.
  • 36:28End of consolidation burden or who were?
  • 36:32Early relapse patients and this
  • 36:35was statistically significant
  • 36:36for unclear reasons,
  • 36:38though it was speculated by the authors
  • 36:42that this could relate to early toxicity.
  • 36:46So in terms of the
  • 36:49lymphoblastic lymphoma outcomes,
  • 36:51there was an advantage.
  • 36:53A statistically clear advantage
  • 36:55of Virtusa ma'am,
  • 36:57both for event free survival
  • 37:00and overall survival.
  • 37:02Up about 7 to 8%.
  • 37:06We wanted to compare outcomes on 12th.
  • 37:09Oh, that's what I did.
  • 37:11OK, so the differences in
  • 37:15induction therapy were remarkable
  • 37:18in that there was a higher.
  • 37:21So actually, going back with this
  • 37:24and with this study truncated and
  • 37:27with the recent AALLO 434 results,
  • 37:30there were some opportunities to
  • 37:33compare some strategies because
  • 37:36the Miller Bing was not included
  • 37:39in this current study because
  • 37:42those results were not known and.
  • 37:45Therefore, the. The.
  • 37:51First thing that was examined was
  • 37:54in those who got a little over 3,
  • 37:57four, which would be known
  • 37:59allara being an induction,
  • 38:01but could get in conduct
  • 38:03consolidation and then now I'm
  • 38:05sorry this is end of induction, MRD.
  • 38:08Those who got no LL Bean
  • 38:11versus all comers for 1231.
  • 38:13There was actually much higher MRD
  • 38:16negativity in those in the later study.
  • 38:19The 1231 that looked at Partism.
  • 38:22Which is interesting because MRD
  • 38:24says we typically think of as
  • 38:26predictive of long-term outcomes,
  • 38:28but not.
  • 38:28It's not the only predictor in
  • 38:31that kind of emphasizes that.
  • 38:33The other thing that was really
  • 38:35remarkable was that there was a
  • 38:38lot more high grade toxicity in
  • 38:40the PARTISM study compared to
  • 38:42the previous Miller being study,
  • 38:44and this is not clear why it's
  • 38:46speculated to be due to the dexamethasone
  • 38:49and the extra peg asparagine ease.
  • 38:52So while the?
  • 38:53Total number of events or
  • 38:55toxic events were higher in
  • 38:58the precursor study that 0434.
  • 39:00There was a much higher rate of
  • 39:03higher grade ones and they were
  • 39:06due to infections predominantly
  • 39:08and particularly fungal infections.
  • 39:10The next thing that was examined was
  • 39:13the cranial radiation, 'cause again,
  • 39:16we had this opportunity to look in 043, four.
  • 39:2090% of patients had cranial radiation.
  • 39:23While in the current 1231,
  • 39:27only 10% did and can see that the.
  • 39:36The. CNS relapse rate was
  • 39:42higher in the 1231 study.
  • 39:46But not overall relapse,
  • 39:48and that's what we call Pete sometimes.
  • 39:52The Pillsbury Doughboy effect where you
  • 39:55shift relapses to bone marrow relapses,
  • 39:58but there was no diff.
  • 40:00And overall relapses,
  • 40:02so this was felt as justification that
  • 40:06cranial radiation could be illuminated.
  • 40:09So next I'd like to go to an abstract
  • 40:12that looks at Linda to mmap versus
  • 40:16intensive chemo for first relapse,
  • 40:18standard of care in first relapse
  • 40:20therapy is to give three blocks
  • 40:23of intensive chemotherapy.
  • 40:24This is from a European study and
  • 40:27they call those blocks HC 1 HC 2
  • 40:30and HD three in this study after
  • 40:33the first 2 blocks patients were
  • 40:36randomized to blend into mmap or two.
  • 40:39Third block and then they went to
  • 40:42stem cell transplant if they could.
  • 40:44And this study also ended early.
  • 40:47It was supposed to enroll 202
  • 40:49patients and only 100 patients or
  • 40:51so were enrolled because there was
  • 40:54a clear result that there was an
  • 40:57advantage of blended to mmap both in.
  • 41:01Add.
  • 41:02Event free survival and in time
  • 41:07from diagnosis to relapse.
  • 41:11There is also an advantage.
  • 41:13A significant advantage in overall
  • 41:15survival in the blue netuma Bab arm.
  • 41:20There was superior MRD remission that
  • 41:23was assessed by PCR in the billing
  • 41:26to mmap arm overall and it was more
  • 41:30remarkable or in those that had a
  • 41:33higher tumor burden load initially,
  • 41:35so it was most remarkable in those
  • 41:40who had more MRD at baseline.
  • 41:43There was very notably much
  • 41:45decreased toxicity,
  • 41:47so while overall toxicity was similar,
  • 41:50there was a much lower rate of
  • 41:54serious toxicity of 24% versus 43%,
  • 41:58and those are greater than Grade 3,
  • 42:02so this changes.
  • 42:04The construct,
  • 42:06because previously the standard,
  • 42:08was to get three blocks of chemotherapy.
  • 42:14Before transplant in first relapse
  • 42:16and this also mirrors a similar
  • 42:18see OG study that also found some
  • 42:20results that were reported last year.
  • 42:27What there is always concerned about
  • 42:29neurological toxicity with cytokine
  • 42:31release syndrome with netuma.
  • 42:33But while there were
  • 42:34more neurological events,
  • 42:36there were no Grade 3 or higher
  • 42:39events in CR S and there weren't.
  • 42:42There was really not an increase in severe
  • 42:45events or moderate or severe events,
  • 42:48so the third study that also relates
  • 42:51to blend into my map has to do
  • 42:54with whether Blend into my map.
  • 42:57Treatment prior to car affects car outcomes.
  • 43:02And this is a multi site study.
  • 43:05I'm so just there will be
  • 43:07a separate car session,
  • 43:09but this slide is here if people
  • 43:12want to look at this later.
  • 43:14But basically a patients T cells
  • 43:17are harvested and then they
  • 43:20are expanded and then they are.
  • 43:23They. Are transfected to T cells
  • 43:28via viral vector 2.
  • 43:32Have T cell receptor gamma and
  • 43:36then often something else.
  • 43:38In this case it was for one BB,
  • 43:41but it can be different things and
  • 43:45it's reinfused and then it can.
  • 43:48Go after the particular marker
  • 43:51on the on the tumor.
  • 43:54So sitting 19 modulation represents a
  • 43:57mechanism of resistance to CD 19 targeting.
  • 44:00It's both blue 2:00 AM AB and CD19
  • 44:03car T cells are associated lineages.
  • 44:07Switch CD 19.
  • 44:08Lawson CD.
  • 44:0919 antigen downregulation becoming dim,
  • 44:11and there's just limited impact on
  • 44:14the how they impact each other.
  • 44:16This was a multicenter study.
  • 44:19There were three different car
  • 44:21T cell constructs,
  • 44:22and it was a seven site study.
  • 44:25Their median post infusion followed was
  • 44:282.3 years and this occurred over seven years.
  • 44:31Um,
  • 44:3275 of the 420 patients had had
  • 44:36previous blenner,
  • 44:37of which 57.3% achieved CR and
  • 44:40the median time from last minute
  • 44:44to the current Fusion in these
  • 44:47patients was 129 days.
  • 44:49So there was no difference in those
  • 44:52who had had Blender and prior blenna
  • 44:55and those who did not in terms of MRD status,
  • 45:00whether they had an empty or M3 marrow
  • 45:03CNS status, extramedullary disease,
  • 45:05or circulating glass.
  • 45:06There was a higher rate in those who had
  • 45:10prior brunette with the KM T2A R mutation,
  • 45:14maybe indicating that there were more younger
  • 45:17patients 'cause that occurs more in infants.
  • 45:20And and the overall response to the
  • 45:24car was great in these 120 patients,
  • 45:2891% achieved CR,
  • 45:3088% were MRD negative and the
  • 45:33relapse rate was 39.8%,
  • 45:35however.
  • 45:36Blender patients are the ones
  • 45:38who had previously know were more
  • 45:41likely to have residual disease.
  • 45:44Post CD 19 car,
  • 45:45so it was 18% if one had prior blina
  • 45:49and only 7% if there was previous blender.
  • 45:53This also corresponded to worse relapse
  • 45:56free survival both at six months.
  • 45:58Anna, 12 months and the median relapse.
  • 46:01Free survival was twenty months.
  • 46:04If one had had previous planner and 45
  • 46:07months. If there had been no blender.
  • 46:12So we're not is associated.
  • 46:14Also was also associated with a higher
  • 46:16incidence of CD 19 modulation pre car.
  • 46:19So the incidents of CD 19,
  • 46:21negative, dim or partial
  • 46:23expression prior to the car was.
  • 46:25Was higher in prior blender patients,
  • 46:2813% versus 6% and in patients in which
  • 46:32there was a pre and post Lena CD 19
  • 46:36expression 11% had evolution to CD.
  • 46:3819 dim expression.
  • 46:42Going to change gears now and talk a
  • 46:45little bit about toxicities because
  • 46:48and listen to young adults were
  • 46:51found to have inferior outcomes
  • 46:53compared to children and do better
  • 46:56when they are treated with PD type.
  • 47:00Regiments we can talk about this a little
  • 47:04bit more, but there's some trade offs.
  • 47:07And so as especially in the early 20s,
  • 47:11there is an advantage with pediatric
  • 47:14regiments rather than this C vad,
  • 47:16this has to be reassessed in
  • 47:19the era of cellular therapy.
  • 47:23So the goal of this study was to look
  • 47:26at bone toxicities and it was found
  • 47:28that this is a retrospective study
  • 47:31of Dana Farber consortia patients
  • 47:34who were up to 50 years and initially
  • 47:38they were true with the coli based
  • 47:41ones and had 30 weeks of asparagine
  • 47:44ace depletion and then later,
  • 47:46this changed to PEG.
  • 47:48And steroid Dennis Progenies associates
  • 47:51Austin across is glucose corduroy,
  • 47:54corticoids,
  • 47:54disrupt osteoblasts and cause ischaemia.
  • 47:56It's not really clear how asparagine
  • 47:59ease results in Aston across is,
  • 48:02but it is highly associated,
  • 48:04maybe due to hypercoagulability in
  • 48:07altered lipid metabolism and previous
  • 48:09ranges and kids was incidents of
  • 48:12osteonecrosis of 69% much higher in
  • 48:15adolescence as high in the high teens or 20s.
  • 48:19And a good proportion needs surgery and
  • 48:22and joint replacement as as 20 year olds.
  • 48:26So the goal is to understand
  • 48:28this incidence and risk factors.
  • 48:30This has this study had 367
  • 48:34patients from 25 institutions.
  • 48:36And it was found that 17% of them
  • 48:40developed osteonecrosis and a
  • 48:42median time to event was 1.6 years
  • 48:46and 12% developed a fracture with
  • 48:49median time to event of 1.4 years.
  • 48:53When one looked at risk factors,
  • 48:56those under 30 years had a 21% risk,
  • 48:59so this is really a condition of
  • 49:02adolescents and young adults.
  • 49:04With only 8% in those over 30 years
  • 49:07and there was a much higher risk
  • 49:09in those who had peg based therapy.
  • 49:12Rather than E.
  • 49:13Coli based therapy,
  • 49:15almost a fivefold increased risk.
  • 49:18So the potential mechanisms are
  • 49:21not known in the later eras,
  • 49:24along with Pegasus Virginis
  • 49:26more dexamethasone.
  • 49:27Dexamethasone is uniformly used and
  • 49:29it was proposed that asparagine
  • 49:31ease could cause hypoalbuminemia,
  • 49:33which decreases dex clearance,
  • 49:36and dexamethasone is a steroid more
  • 49:39than Prednisone that is a much
  • 49:42higher risk of osteonecrosis.
  • 49:45And Asperges clearance is higher
  • 49:46free collide that Nino Peg Lated
  • 49:48is meant to be there along time,
  • 49:50and maybe that's it.
  • 49:52The investigators plan to look at
  • 49:53asparagine ace levels more closely, and this.
  • 49:56I'll just summarize this.
  • 49:57This abstract would seem to be made for this.
  • 50:00In which this group looked at asperges
  • 50:04levels and toxicity and found that
  • 50:07high levels of this urge nice was
  • 50:10not associated with an increased
  • 50:12risk of any of the known toxicities,
  • 50:15including pancreatitis, thromboembolism,
  • 50:17or osteonecrosis.
  • 50:19So the the answer it may be not as
  • 50:22simple as that and may have to be
  • 50:25looked at a little more closely.
  • 50:28We have several studies open here
  • 50:31at Yale that build
  • 50:33on this. We have a study of.
  • 50:37Tessa Jean Luc's Loosle Carty 19.
  • 50:39Made by Novartis in first line,
  • 50:42high risk patients who are MRD positive
  • 50:45and end up consolidation that goes up
  • 50:48to 25 years of age were investigating
  • 50:51blinatumomab in standard risk patients,
  • 50:55again with a similar goal of trying
  • 50:58to limit chemotherapy eventually
  • 51:01and then we're staying ina choose
  • 51:03the map in high risk PML patients.
  • 51:07To 25 years and we have a study of
  • 51:10Pseudomonas derived asparagine ease for
  • 51:12those who had hypersensitive reaction to E.
  • 51:15Coli drive, despair genese.
  • 51:17That's any age.
  • 51:18And finally, we have a study where bout
  • 51:22to open a blender to mmap with Nivo.
  • 51:26And first relapse for patients
  • 51:28up to 31 years.
  • 51:30So with that,
  • 51:31I think you and I hand the floor
  • 51:33over to moderate are Doctor Shaw.
  • 51:37Thank you very much Doctor Nikolai and talk
  • 51:41to Nina for summarizing on the newer data,
  • 51:45which were presented at ASH last year.
  • 51:50Regarding both pediatric, any Delta LL.
  • 51:52So now session is open for questions
  • 51:55and when we are waiting for so I think
  • 51:59there are some questions there in the chat.
  • 52:02Yeah I saw that.
  • 52:05Some of them are just comments, but you know.
  • 52:09So one of them is addressed to me.
  • 52:11Yeah, would you use Hyper C Vad
  • 52:14plus blinatumomab approach in your
  • 52:16practice today to avoid transplant?
  • 52:18So I do have to mention that in that study
  • 52:21which I think enrolled about 39 patients,
  • 52:2412 patients went to transplant and you know
  • 52:2710 of them actually went before relapse.
  • 52:30So even folks in MD Anderson
  • 52:32who are using this approach,
  • 52:34they still using transplant as a modality
  • 52:36for this patient after they accomplished
  • 52:38CR with without minimal residual disease.
  • 52:41So I think the transplant is reserved for
  • 52:44high risk patients as defined by their
  • 52:46karyotype of maletis pH like status.
  • 52:49Anti P53 expression.
  • 52:50I have TP 53 mutations so I don't think it.
  • 52:53I think it is too soon to say that
  • 52:55this particular approach will eliminate
  • 52:57the transplant but certainly gives
  • 52:59hope to patients who cannot have
  • 53:02transplant for whatever reason.
  • 53:03An at least maybe a choice for some
  • 53:05of those patients who have disease
  • 53:08with less risky features.
  • 53:10So I and I would say that that is a
  • 53:14point of convergence in our literature.
  • 53:18So a patient in their 20s,
  • 53:21if they came in through a pediatric
  • 53:24treatment center, would not accept
  • 53:27for certain molecular findings.
  • 53:30Would not automatically get transplanted
  • 53:32first remission because we have it.
  • 53:34We don't use the high perceived backbone,
  • 53:37we use the BFM backbone.
  • 53:41And use a lot more asparagine
  • 53:43ease and methotrexate.
  • 53:45But the and and antimetabolites,
  • 53:47but the we have we have survival event free
  • 53:51survival in the in the 80s in that group,
  • 53:54but what I think.
  • 53:56But I think the challenges and what
  • 53:59we're learning more and This is why I
  • 54:02wanted to highlight the toxicity issue.
  • 54:05I think what we want to learn
  • 54:08more is that it does seem like.
  • 54:11Even in patients in their 20s who
  • 54:14we call the older patients rather,
  • 54:16they have higher rates of infection.
  • 54:18They have higher rates of AVN.
  • 54:20They have had higher rates
  • 54:22of pancreatitis and,
  • 54:23and it's not clear how to
  • 54:25balance those two things,
  • 54:27but they would be treated very
  • 54:29differently and they would have
  • 54:31good disease free outcomes.
  • 54:34So we just want comment.
  • 54:36We do use pediatric protocols.
  • 54:37Pediatric like protocols become
  • 54:39backbone protocols and we're
  • 54:40participating in Lion study which
  • 54:42uses inotuzumab randomization.
  • 54:44So phase three study after initial induction,
  • 54:46randomizing patients to two cycles in
  • 54:48a tourism up or regular consolidation.
  • 54:51This is between H20 and 39,
  • 54:53so you know how I perceive what is
  • 54:56usually something you would consider
  • 54:58for patients who are older than that.
  • 55:01And we tried to use again DFM.
  • 55:04Backbone augmented BFM backbone
  • 55:05protocols for younger patients,
  • 55:07so there is a question in the chat.
  • 55:10I think both Amarillo Heath and
  • 55:12the doctors 8 and that was it was
  • 55:14our introduction which reduced us
  • 55:16and Doctor Gowda who is one of our
  • 55:19adult transplanters asking about.
  • 55:22Blender two map consolidation instead
  • 55:24of usage of tag asparaginase which
  • 55:26is certainly much more difficult
  • 55:28for all the patients to tolerate
  • 55:30and one of the reasons why you
  • 55:32know a lot of people who all the
  • 55:34cannot go on pediatric protocols.
  • 55:36Can this eliminate usable in a tomb?
  • 55:38Up eliminate need for US Virgin eyes?
  • 55:41And how do we explain so good outcomes
  • 55:43with high perceived cannot be cause
  • 55:45younger patients were enrolled well so
  • 55:47they tried to enroll patients 14 and older.
  • 55:50I think the youngest patients was 17.
  • 55:53On that study and the oldest patient was 59,
  • 55:56so certainly some of the outcomes can
  • 55:59be explained by patient selection,
  • 56:01but decent number of these
  • 56:03patients have the you know,
  • 56:05karyotype abnormalities,
  • 56:06Peach like disease and very
  • 56:08high number had TP 53 mutations,
  • 56:11so it's challenging to say and again
  • 56:13you know comparing head to head tag
  • 56:16asparaginase containing BFM type
  • 56:18protocols with MD Anderson Hyper.
  • 56:20See what will not be possible but you know.
  • 56:24This is ongoing argument.
  • 56:25Which one is better for adult patients?
  • 56:29And I think there is one more
  • 56:32discussion question to both of
  • 56:34you with all this novel Agents
  • 56:36of Lena Nine. It is a man.
  • 56:38Can you see the use of car T still
  • 56:41in the relapse refractory patients?
  • 56:43Yeah, you know. So
  • 56:45I think there's certainly
  • 56:46enroll for car T cells,
  • 56:48and we recently had a discussion about
  • 56:50young adult who I'm taking care of.
  • 56:53And she's actually going for car T cells
  • 56:56after she didn't respond to Blender to map.
  • 57:00And you know, for some of these patients,
  • 57:03it can be a curative treatment.
  • 57:05Depending on the construct.
  • 57:07So I still hope that some of those patients
  • 57:11who fail or who are failed by transplant
  • 57:14can be rescued and some well known cases.
  • 57:18Nationally where this happened and
  • 57:19people survive for many years afterwards.
  • 57:21So certainly car T cells is a nice
  • 57:23addition to the armamentarium we have
  • 57:26for management of these patients.
  • 57:28Unfortunately,
  • 57:28right now is only for patients
  • 57:30or twenty 1625 in.
  • 57:33Is only approved for this group
  • 57:34of patients and I didn't touch
  • 57:36on those studies because I hope
  • 57:38some of them will be addressed
  • 57:40by the session for two weeks so,
  • 57:41but we're hoping that this
  • 57:43treatment will become safer and
  • 57:44may be used for patients who are
  • 57:46all that is definitely something
  • 57:47we would like to see for our old
  • 57:50LL patients. Yeah,
  • 57:51but I'm an maybe at that time we
  • 57:54need to just keep in mind that data.
  • 57:56Mirali presented with Nina, included in
  • 57:59her today is that the prior Lena exposure.
  • 58:03May have effect on the Carty outcome,
  • 58:06so I think there should be some selection
  • 58:08of the patients where we need to right away.
  • 58:11Start cleaner if you are really
  • 58:13thinking of them offering Cardi,
  • 58:15we need to double check whether we need
  • 58:17to give those glena front option or not.
  • 58:20So I think there should be some selection
  • 58:22of the patients who one of the mechanisms
  • 58:25of resistance is of course loss
  • 58:27of CD 19 expression right so and
  • 58:30then you know you lose the target
  • 58:32for car T cells so should link.
  • 58:34Fortunately it doesn't happen too frequently.
  • 58:37So, but nevertheless, the point in world is
  • 58:39well taken. Yes no, I agree,
  • 58:41and I think one of the things that the
  • 58:44investigation that study discussed in this
  • 58:46session afterwards with the questions.
  • 58:48Is that they would like to understand
  • 58:51what was their response to the
  • 58:54blender and weather because it
  • 58:57may be that even with the karty.
  • 59:00I'm sorry even with the CD 19 expression,
  • 59:04there's something different about
  • 59:06those individuals that needs to
  • 59:09be recognized and then the other.
  • 59:12Thing is that I think just pairing it
  • 59:14with that other study that I presented
  • 59:16where the outcomes are better if one
  • 59:19receives blina prior to transplant.
  • 59:21So one can think about I definitely
  • 59:24agree about having car.
  • 59:25T in the arm and it arium.
  • 59:28But whether one should think about
  • 59:30transplant versus party as the next step,
  • 59:32and then I think those are those
  • 59:34are the complicated equations and
  • 59:36we almost have too many choices now.
  • 59:39Well, you know,
  • 59:40it's nice to have more choices
  • 59:42and I wish we have more
  • 59:44choices for T cell L.
  • 59:45As you know, adults with this disease
  • 59:48do not do as well as children.
  • 59:50Certainly Laura being.
  • 59:51Is that reasonable option,
  • 59:53but there are no studies in adults on T cell.
  • 59:56Disease of course.
  • 59:57Most of the patients have diesel L 85% only.
  • 01:00:0015% have T cell disease,
  • 01:00:02but this is certainly unmet
  • 01:00:04need as not a lot of studies
  • 01:00:06addressing this patients right
  • 01:00:08now, especially adults, and one of
  • 01:00:11the questions which Lloyd is just
  • 01:00:13asking with regard to this discussion
  • 01:00:15of car T versus other newer regions.
  • 01:00:18Can these new region across the CNS?
  • 01:00:20Yeah, you know.
  • 01:00:23It's challenging questions,
  • 01:00:25so you know we know.
  • 01:00:28That you know we're not counting
  • 01:00:29on Blender to my boy Natuzzi map to
  • 01:00:32address CNS disease in these patients
  • 01:00:34were excluded from those studies,
  • 01:00:36so we don't really have those
  • 01:00:38questions answered by the studies
  • 01:00:39which led to the approval of these
  • 01:00:41drugs in regards to car T cells.
  • 01:00:44Again, you know this patients with
  • 01:00:45CNS disease are usually excluded,
  • 01:00:47so we don't know.
  • 01:00:48But we presume that this
  • 01:00:50has to be addressed
  • 01:00:51separately from systemic therapies
  • 01:00:52and there is there are some
  • 01:00:54data from CHOP actually for car,
  • 01:00:56T for CNS positivity and
  • 01:00:58maybe Doctor shopping go into.
  • 01:00:59To that a little more,
  • 01:01:01but there's it's small numbers,
  • 01:01:03but it seems to be covering CNS disease,
  • 01:01:06not necessarily testicular disease.
  • 01:01:07But yes, that
  • 01:01:09is the same as penetration with the Carty,
  • 01:01:11and we have seen the success
  • 01:01:14rate particularly, and again,
  • 01:01:15it's need to be now as parties
  • 01:01:17commercially available.
  • 01:01:18We need to review those data also down
  • 01:01:21the rain so you know, for us, it's a
  • 01:01:25move to, you know,
  • 01:01:26to zoom out Blender to map,
  • 01:01:28you know, without the systemic
  • 01:01:30administration of site error.
  • 01:01:32Why does it say Terminatrix 8?
  • 01:01:33So you know this is certainly
  • 01:01:35a very pertinent issue,
  • 01:01:36which puts a lot of pressure
  • 01:01:38on giving out chemotherapy in
  • 01:01:39adequate numbers to those patients.
  • 01:01:40As we don't know really,
  • 01:01:42you know about the effects of the tool.
  • 01:01:47My last question to Doctor Nikolai and
  • 01:01:50I'm I'm pediatric transplant are so,
  • 01:01:53but looking at this good
  • 01:01:55day to our financials,
  • 01:01:57demandment cleaner to ma'am.
  • 01:01:58Would you consider this in this?
  • 01:02:01You're more than 60 year old older adult,
  • 01:02:04so how you see in changing your
  • 01:02:07practice or your treatment
  • 01:02:09algorithm for those group of LL
  • 01:02:12patient highly scalable patients
  • 01:02:14so you know I think 4.
  • 01:02:16Older patients, the question about
  • 01:02:19transplant is more difficult because
  • 01:02:22you know the outcomes are worse.
  • 01:02:25And the administration of this new drugs
  • 01:02:27give hope that some of these patients
  • 01:02:29may be cured without transplant.
  • 01:02:31Having said that, I don't think we know
  • 01:02:34yet how many of them will be cured,
  • 01:02:36so that's why I cannot clearly
  • 01:02:38answer that question.
  • 01:02:39And I apologize.
  • 01:02:40I have to leave because I'm
  • 01:02:42running that your board,
  • 01:02:44which starts at 1:00 o'clock.
  • 01:02:45When on that note, thank you so much.
  • 01:02:48Tower speakers at Doctor Baddour said doctor
  • 01:02:50catalytic and overloaded and moderate
