    Abstract: The combination of elotuzumab, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (EloRd) enhanced the clinical benefit over Rd with a manageable toxicity profile in the ELOQUENT‐2 trial, leading to its approval in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). The present study is a 3‐year follow‐up update of a previously published Italian real‐life RRMM cohort of patients treated with EloRd. This revised analysis entered 319 RRMM patients accrued in 41 Italian centers. After a median follow‐up of 36 months (range 6–55), 236 patients experienced disease progression or died. Median progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 18.4 and 34 months, respectively. The updated multivariate analyses showed a significant reduction of PFS and OS benefit magnitude only in cases with International Staging System stage III. Major adverse events included grade 3/4 neutropenia (18.5%), anemia (15.4%), lymphocytopenia (12.5%), and thrombocytopenia (10.7%), while infection rates and pneumonia were 33.9% and 18.9%, respectively. No new safety signals with longer follow‐up have been observed. Of 319 patients, 245 (76.7%) reached at least a partial remission. A significantly lower response rate was found in patients previously exposed to lenalidomide. In conclusion, our study confirms that EloRd is a safe and effective regimen for RRMM patients, maintaining benefits across multiple unfavorable subgroups.

    Abstract: Infections represent one of the major concerns regarding the utilization of ruxolitinib (RUX) in patients with myelofibrosis. With the aim to investigate epidemiology, outcome and risk factors for infections in RUX‐exposed patients, we collected clinical and laboratory data of 446 myelofibrosis patients treated with RUX between June 2011 and November 2016 in 23 European Hematology Centers. After a median RUX exposure of 23.5 months (range, 1‐56), 123 patients (28%) experienced 161 infectious events (grades 3‐4 32%, fatal 9%), for an incidence rate of 17 cases per 100 pts/y. The rate of infections tended to decrease over time: 14% of patients developed the first infection within 6 months, 5% between 6 and 12 months, 3.7% between 12 and 18 months, 3.4% between 18 and 24 months, and 7.9% thereafter ( P   〈  .0001). Respiratory tract infections were more frequently observed (81 events, 50%), and bacteria were the most frequent etiological agents (68.9%). However, also viral (14.9%) and fungal infections (2.5%) were observed. In multivariate analysis, previous infectious event (HR 2.54; 95% CI, 1.51‐4.28; P  = .0005) and high international prognostic score system category (IPSS) (HR 1.53; 95% CI, 1.07‐2.20; P  = .021) significantly correlated with higher infectious risk. On the contrary, spleen reduction ≥50% from baseline after 3 months of treatment ( P  = .02) was associated with better infection‐free survival. Taken together, these findings reinforce the concept of disease severity as the most important risk factor for infections, and describe, for the first time, that a positive therapeutic effect in reducing splenomegaly may also reduce subsequent infectious complications.

    Abstract: Background Myelofibrosis (MF) is featured by an inflammatory condition that can also drive the progression of disease. Ruxolitinib (RUX) is the-first-in-class Jak1/2 inhibitor approved for treatment for MF. Clinical benefits of RUX are presumably derived from reduction of inflammatory cytokines even if the exact mechanism remains unclear. Recent reports have identified the ratio between absolute neutrophils count (ANC) and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), called NLR, as a simple parameter that mirrors the inflammatory status and the myeloid associated immune suppression. In various malignancies NLR has been indicated as predictor of progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Our preliminary work in a single-center experience showed that patients with NLR 〉 6 before RUX start had a lower chance to obtain 〉 50% spleen reduction in the first 12 weeks or a complete resolution of splenomegaly at 24 weeks. Objective : We proposed to test NLR=6 as bio-marker in MF to apply into clinical practice as a possible predictor of response to RUX. Methods We used two separate cohorts to validate NLR (as a continuous variable and as a cut off 6) as predictor of response to RUX bases on our preliminary data from healthy volunteers (data not shown). Cohort (#1) including 111 MF patients from MD Anderson Cancer Center treated with RUX on phase 1/2 clinical trial from 2007 to 2010; and cohort (#2) including 367 patients treated at 18 Italian centers between years 2012 - 2018. Spleen responses to RUX treatment, PFS and OS were independently validated in cohorts #1 and 2. As cohort 1 included patients treated on clinical trial, spleen was assessed by MRI before and after 24 weeks of RUX therapy, and by physical examination at week 12. In cohort #2, spleen size was assessed by physical examination before, after 12 and 24 weeks of RUX continuous treatment in a real-life setting. NLR was calculated using data obtained from the complete blood count before RUX start and correlated with driver mutations, early spleen reduction, progression free survival (PFS), defined as time from RUX start to last follow-up or progressive disease (including progression to acute myeloid leukemia, ≥20% blasts in peripheral blood or bone marrow, AML) or death for any reason; and overall survival (OS). Results : Clinical and demographics characteristics of patients in each cohort are summarized in Table 1. In cohort #1 we found that NLR was lower in patients with lower bone marrow fibrosis (grade 0-1: 6.2±0.8 versus grade 2-3: 7.3±0.8, p=0.03). Similarly, in cohort #2, patients with grade 0-1 bone marrow fibrosis had lower NLR than those carrying grade 2-3 bone marrow fibrosis (7.7±0.7 versus 10.6±1.3, p=0.04). NLR was higher in patients carrying JAK2 (V617F) mutation (mean +/- SD, 6.4±0.6 vs 5.3±0.5, p=0.02 in cohort 1 and 9.1±0.6 vs 5.0±0.5, p=0.002 in cohort 2). While in cohort 1 NLR appeared lower in CALR (exon 9 indel) mutated patients, the difference was statistically significant in cohort 2 (5.4±0.8 vs 8.9±0.6, p=0.03). In both cohorts, there were no differences in NLR in either triple negative or MPL (exon 10) patients. In cohort 1, the mean percentage change from baseline in palpable spleen length was −47.7% at week 12 and −53.4% at week 24. NLR=6 was able to identify at baseline early response to RUX with 66.9% sensitivity and 72.3% specificity (HR 1.68, p=0.01). Patients with NLR 〉 6 before RUX start had a lower chance to obtain a complete resolution of splenomegaly at 24 weeks (p=0.001). These observations were confirmed in cohort 2 where NLR 〉 6 was able to identify at baseline early response to RUX with 50.3% sensitivity and 67.7% specificity (HR 1.56, p=0.01). The mean percentage change from baseline in palpable spleen length was −60.3% at week 12 and −66.7% at week 24. Patients with NLR 〉 6 before RUX start had a lower chance to obtain a complete resolution of splenomegaly at 24 weeks (p 〈 0.002). At the time of this analysis, 84/111 (75.6%) patients in cohort 1 and 122/367 (33.2%) in cohort 2 had died (p 〈 0.001). Progression to AML occurred in 6/111 (5.4 %) patients of cohort 1 and in 35/367 (9.5%) patients of cohort 2 (p=0.03). With median follow-ups of 47.8 months and 35.2 months for cohorts 1 and 2, respectively, NLR as a continuous variable or NLR 〉 6 was not a predictor of PFS or OS. Conclusions : NLR before RUX start could serve as a useful, simple and early predictor of spleen response in MF patients; and it positively correlates with JAK2 mutation and higher fibrosis grade.

    Abstract: Introduction. Blast phase (BP) is the terminal and most incurable phase of myelofibrosis (MF) and occurs in a not negligible fraction of patients (pts). In the pre-ruxolitinib (RUX) era, peripheral blasts, thrombocytopenia, unfavorable cytogenetics, and high risk category were identified as predictors of BP. RUX is the standard of care for symptomatic MF; however, information on clinical/laboratory correlates of BP in RUX-treated pts is not available. Aims. The primary objective of the study is to assess real-world data on incidence, risk factors and outcome of BP in RUX-treated MF pts. Methods. A multicentre observational retrospective study on RUX-treated MF pts was conducted in 20 European Hematology Centers. Data were extracted from an electronic database that included consecutive pts treated with RUX from June 2011. Data cut-off was June 2019. Risk category was assessed at RUX start according to the Dynamic International Prognostic Score System (DIPSS) or the Myelofibrosis Secondary to PV and ET Collaboration Prognostic Model (MYSEC-PM) in pts with post-Polycythemia Vera (PV)/post-Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) MF (secondary MF, SMF). A time-to-event (BP) analysis was conducted with Fine & Gray model with death/time of stem cell transplant as competing risks. Variables tested for association with BP were: age≥65yr, sex, transfusion-dependency, PLT 〈 150x109/l, peripheral blasts ≥3%, marrow fibrosis grade, CALR-unmutated genotype, unfavorable karyotype, spleen length (≥10 cm), total symptoms score (≥20), previous hydroxyurea (HU), alkylating agents, and interferon (IFN) use, time from MF diagnosis to RUX start, and PV/ET duration. Cumulative Incidence Function among risk categories for DIPSS and MYSEC-PM was calculated applying the Gray's model. Results . Overall, 589 MF pts were included and observed for 1833 pt-yrs from RUX start (median, 35.4 mos). Diagnosis was PMF in 304 pts (51.6%), PPV-MF in 164 pts (27.8%) or PET-MF in 121 (20.6%); 58.4% males. Molecular status was: JAK2V617F (82.5%), CALR (11.3%) and MPLW515K/L (1.1%); 5.1% were triple negatives. Overall, 368 (62.5%) pts received ≥1 cytoreductive therapy before RUX, specifically: HU, n. 357; alkylating agents, n. 47; anagrelide, n. 33; and IFN, n. 29. Median time from MF diagnosis to RUX start was 1.3 yrs. DIPSS for the whole cohort was: INT-1 (52.9%), INT-2 (40.1%), and HIGH (7%). DIPSS distribution in PMF pts was: INT-1 (47.8%), INT-2 (45.7%), and HIGH (6.5%), while SMF pts were categorized at LOW (11.1%), INT-1 (43.1%), INT-2 (31.2%) and HIGH (14.6%) risk according to the MYSEC-PM. Overall, 65 (11%) developed BP. In 61 pts, BP caused RUX withdrawal after a median time of 1.2 yrs (0.7-6.2); in 4 pts BP occurred after RUX stop (median time: 2.4 yrs). BP incidence rate was 3.6 x100 pt-yrs and was comparable in PMF and SMF (p=0.1). In univariate analysis, the probability of BP evolution for the PMF cohort was significantly reduced by previous IFN use (p=0.001). In SMF, predictors for BP in univariate analysis were PLT 〈 150 x109/l (p=0.001), blasts ≥3% (p=0.002), grade 3 marrow fibrosis (p=0.03) and PV/ET duration ≥ 10 yrs (p=0.02); previous IFN significantly reduced the risk of BP (p=0.02). In multivariable analysis, PLT 〈 150 x109/l (HR 2.4, 95% CI 1.1-5.4, p=0.03), blasts ≥3% (HR 3.3, 95% CI 1.4-7.5, p=0.004) and previous IFN (HR 0.1, 95% CI 0.02-0.8, p=0.04) remained significant. High DIPSS risk significantly predicted BP in PMF (p=0.04, HR [95% CI]: 2.6 [1.1-6.5] ) but not in SMF (p=0.40). In this latter cohort, only the MYSEC-PM was associated with BP (p=0.02, HR 1.7 [95% CI]: [1.1-2.8] ) (Fig.1). Estimated HRs, in reference to the lower score category, were: 1.10 for INT-1, 1.82 for INT-2, and 4.04 for HIGH risk. HR for HIGH risk, comparing to all lower risk groups, was 3.53 (95% CI: 1.53-8.11). Overall, 54 (81.8%) BP pts died and median survival was 2.8 mos. Survival after BP was not influenced by type of MF, previous response to RUX, and type of salvage treatment. Conclusions. Thrombocytopenia and peripheral blasts at RUX start identified pts at higher risk of BP in SMF, while previous IFN use was associated with reduced BP evolution in both PMF and SMF, suggesting a possible disease-modifying action of this agent. Also, this analysis supports the ability of MYSEC-PM in predicting BP in pts with SMF. Despite RUX use, outcome after BP remained dismal, confirming the need for newer treatment strategies.

    Abstract: In real‐world data from 524 patients who received ruxolitinib for myelofibrosis, the incidence of and risk factors associated with drug discontinuation were investigated along with how reasons for discontinuation, disease phase at discontinuation, and salvage therapies may influence outcomes. At 3 years, higher risk category, lower platelet count, unfavorable karyotype, and transfusion dependency at the start of ruxolitinib were associated with a greater probability of drug discontinuation; and outcomes were significantly better in patients who discontinued in chronic phase versus blast phase and in those who received investigational agents and/or ruxolitinib rechallenge.

    Abstract: The 2016 WHO criteria identified early primary myelofibrosis (PMF) as an individual entity with milder clinical features and better outcome compared with overt PMF. Here, we compared early and overt PMF patients treated with ruxolitinib in terms of baseline clinical/laboratory characteristics, response, and toxicity to treatment. We observed that early‐PMF patients achieve better and more stable spleen and symptoms responses, with significantly lower rates of hematological toxicities. No differences in overall and leukemia‐free survival were detected between the two cohorts. The application of 2016 WHO criteria is crucial to identify those PMF patients who deserve a stricter monitoring during treatment.

    Abstract: Introduction . The 2016 WHO criteria identified early primary myelofibrosis (early-PMF) as an individual entity with different clinical/laboratory presentations and a significantly better outcome compared to overt PMF. No information is available on the therapeutic effects of ruxolitinib (RUX) in the context of each disease separately. Aims . To report the differences between early and overt PMF patients (pts) treated with RUX in terms of baseline clinical/laboratory characteristics, response to treatment and toxicity. Methods . A clinical database was created in 23 European Hematology Centers including retrospective data of 537 MF pts treated with RUX from Jan 2011 to July 2018. Spleen and symptoms response (SR & SyR) to RUX were evaluated according to the 2013 IWG-MRT criteria. Hematologic toxicity and infections were graded according to the WHO scale. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were estimated from diagnosis using the Cox proportional hazards regression model, with adjustment for the dynamic international prognostic score system (DIPSS) and left-truncation. Results . A total of 199 pts had a diagnosis of early (n. 59, 29.7%) or overt (n. 140, 70.3%) PMF confirmed by bone marrow biopsy at RUX start and were included in this analysis. At RUX start, median age was 68.4 yrs (26.5-88.9) and 66.3% of pts had a spleen palpable at ≥10 cm below the left costal margin (LCM) (median spleen length: 12 cm). Median hemoglobin value and total symptoms score (TSS) were 10.5 g/dL and 20 (0-80), respectively. DIPSS distribution was: intermediate-1 (50.5%), intermediate-2 (42.1%), high (7.4%). Molecular status was: JAK2V617F 72.3%, CALR 13.7%, MPLW515K/L 3.1%, triple-negative 5%. Median time from diagnosis to RUX start was 22.4 mos (0.1-394). Compared to overt PMF pts, pts with early PMF started RUX with higher hemoglobin levels (median, 11.6 vs 10.4 g/dl, p=0.01) and lower circulating blast counts (p 〈 0.001), and were more frequently at intermediate-1 DIPSS risk (69.6% vs 42.5%, p 〈 0.001). RUX starting and 12-weeks titrated doses were comparable in the two groups. At 3 and 6 months, 43.1% and 48.9% of early-PMF pts achieved a SR, compared to 27.9% and 31.3% of overt-MF pts (p=0.04 and p=0.04, respectively). The rate of SyR was also higher in early-PMF pts at 3 months (82.5% vs 68.8%, p=0.05) and at 6 months (90.0 vs 73.7, p=0.02). In the first 12 months from RUX start, anemia/thrombocytopenia of all grades occurred in 75.6%/43.1% and 86.3%/60.0% of early and overt PMF pts, respectively (p=0.11 and p=0.03). At 3 months, anemia was more frequent in overt PMF pts (94.7% vs 80.0%, p=0.01), with 32.6% of pts having a grade 3-4 anemia compared to 17.8% in early PMF (p=0.02). The incidence of thrombocytopenia was also higher in overt PMF at 3 (51.5% vs 36.2%, p=0.05) and 6 (52.9% vs 35.8%, p=0.04) months, with only 2.2% and 2.5% of pts having a grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia, respectively. Seventy-five pts had at least one grade ≥2 infectious episode during RUX therapy. Considering death as competing risk, the cumulative risk of infections grade ≥2 was comparable in the two cohorts (p=0.4). Overall, 108 pts discontinued RUX (52.5% and 55.0% of early and overt PMF pts, p=0.7). Evolution into acute leukemia (AL) occurred in 21 pts. After a median follow-up of 23 months, 69 pts died (19 early), specifically because of progression of myelofibrosis (38%), AL (16.9%), infections (11.3%), hemorrhage/thrombosis (12.6%), second neoplasias (8.5%) or transplant-associated toxicity (2.8%), other causes (9.9%). OS (p=0.88) and PFS (p=0.86) were comparable in early and overt PMF pts. Conclusions . This study indicates for the first time that early PMF represents a category of pts that is projected to have better responses and lower toxicities from RUX treatmemt. In the setting of RUX therapy, a WHO-defined diagnosis may contribute to better identify pts who may deserve a strict monitoring during treatment.
