Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is initiated and maintained by BCR::ABL which is clinically targeted using tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). TKIs can induce long-term remission but are also not curative. Thus, CML is an ideal system to test our hypothesis that transcriptome-based state-transition models accurately predict cancer evolution and treatment response. We collected time-sequential blood samples from tetracycline-off (Tet-Off) BCR::ABL-inducible transgenic mice and wild-type controls. From the transcriptome, we constructed a CML state-space and a three-well leukemogenic potential landscape. The potential's stable critical points defined observable disease states. Early states were characterized by anti-CML genes opposing leukemia; late states were characterized by pro-CML genes. Genes with expression patterns shaped similarly to the potential landscape were identified as drivers of disease transition. Re-introduction of tetracycline to silence the BCR::ABL gene returned diseased mice transcriptomes to a near healthy state, without reaching it, suggesting parts of the transition are irreversible. TKI only reverted the transcriptome to an intermediate disease state, without approaching a state of health; disease relapse occurred soon after treatment. Using only the earliest time-point as initial conditions, our state-transition models accurately predicted both disease progression and treatment response, supporting this as a potentially valuable approach to time clinical intervention, before phenotypic changes become detectable.

Abstract
Therapy-related acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (tr-ALL) is a disease entity attributed to previous exposure to chemotherapy and/or radiation for antecedent malignancy. There is observed female predominance for tr-ALL, likely due to high prevalence and excellent curable rate for non-metastatic breast cancer as well as the frequent use of carcinogenic agents as part of adjuvant therapy. Here, we reviewed 37 women with diagnosis of ALL following breast cancer treatment with focus on cytogenetic categorization. Philadelphia chromosome positivity (Ph+), KMT2A alterations and other cytogenetic change groups were observed in 32%, 22% and 46% of patients respectively. Median overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were 19.4 and 12.9 months, overall while both OS and RFS were superior in tr-ALL with Ph+ disease compared to KMT2Ar and other cytogenetics respectively. Seventeen (45.9%) patients underwent consolidative allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) in CR1 out of which 4 (24%) relapsed following transplant. Both OS and RFS were superior in the KMT2Ar cytogenetics group following alloHCT. Ph chromosome represents the largest genetic entity of tr-ALL following breast cancer therapy, and it may be associated with superior survival outcomes while KMT2Ar may be associated with poorer outcomes that can perhaps be mitigated by alloHSCT.

Abstract
Decoy oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) allow targeting undruggable transcription factors, such as STAT3, but their limited potency and lack of delivery methods hampered translation. To overcome these challenges, we conjugated a STAT3-specific decoy to thalidomide, a ligand to cereblon in E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, to generate a proteolysis-targeting chimera (STAT3DPROTAC). STAT3DPROTAC downregulated STAT3 in target cells, but not STAT1 or STAT5. Computational modeling of the STAT3DPROTAC ternary complex predicted two surface lysines, K601 and K626, in STAT3 as potential ubiquitination sites. Accordingly, K601/K626 point mutations in STAT3, as well as proteasome inhibition or cereblon deletion, alleviated STAT3DPROTAC effect. Next, we conjugated STAT3DPROTAC to a CpG oligonucleotide targeting Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) to generate myeloid/B cell-selective C-STAT3DPROTAC. Naked C-STAT3DPROTAC was spontaneously internalized by TLR9+ myeloid cells, B cells, and human and mouse lymphoma cells but not by T cells. C-STAT3DPROTAC effectively decreased STAT3 protein levels and also STAT3-regulated target genes critical for lymphoma cell proliferation and/or survival (BCL2L1, CCND2, and MYC). Finally, local C-STAT3DPROTAC administration to human Ly3 lymphoma-bearing mice triggered tumor regression, while control C-STAT3D and C-SCR treatments had limited effects. Our results underscore the feasibility of using a PROTAC strategy for cell-selective, decoy oligonucleotide-based STAT3 targeting of and potentially other tumorigenic transcription factors for cancer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) have a >2-fold risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD; heart failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke), compared to the general population. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is predictive of CVD in nononcology patients but is not as well studied in patients who underwent HCT and survivors of HCT.The objective of this study was to examine the association between CAC and CVD risk and outcomes after HCT in patients with lymphoma. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of 243 consecutive patients who underwent a first autologous HCT for lymphoma between 2009 and 2014. CAC (Agatston score) was determined from chest computed tomography obtained <60 days from HCT. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to calculate hazard ratio (HR) estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusted for covariates (age, conventional risk factors [e.g., hypertension and dyslipidemia], and cancer treatment). RESULTS The median age at HCT was 55.7 years (range, 18.5-75.1 years), 59% were male, and 60% were non-Hispanic White. The prevalence of CAC was 37%. The 5-year CVD incidence for the cohort was 12%, and there was an incremental increase in the incidence according to CAC score: 0 (6%), 1-100 (20%), and >100 (32%) (p = .001). CAC was significantly associated with CVD risk (HR, 3.0; 95% CI, 1.2-7.5) and worse 5-year survival (77% vs. 50%; p < .001; HR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.1-3.4), compared to those without CAC. CONCLUSIONS CAC is independently associated with CVD and survival after HCT. This highlights the importance of integrating readily available imaging information in risk stratification and decision-making in patients undergoing HCT, which sets the stage for strategies to optimize outcomes after HCT.

Abstract
We conducted a retrospective analysis of WT1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients who underwent allogeneic stem cell transplant. Thirty-seven patients with WT1-mutated AML were identified. Primary induction failure (40%) and early relapse rate (18%) after idarubicin/cytarabine (7 + 3) chemotherapy were observed. All patients with induction failure subsequently achieved CR with additional chemotherapy. There was no significant difference between outcomes after myeloablative vs. reduced intensity (Fludarabine/Melphalan [Flu/Mel]) conditioning regimens. RFS but not OS was significantly better in patients who received FLAG-IDA prior to transplant and/or a fludarabine-containing conditioning. In an independent ex vivo study, WT1-mutated AML samples exhibited greater sensitivity to fludarabine (p = 0.026) and melphalan (p = 0.0005) than non-WT1-mutated AML samples while there was no difference between sensitivity to cytarabine. Our data favor using a fludarabine-based induction for AML with WT1 mutation instead of 7 + 3. Fludarabine conditioning regimens for alloHCT showed better RFS but not OS.

Abstract
Outcomes for pediatric brain tumor patients remain poor, and there is optimism that chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy can improve prognosis. Here, we present interim results from the first six pediatric patients treated on an ongoing phase I clinical trial (NCT04510051) of IL13BBζ-CAR T cells delivered weekly into the lateral cerebral ventricles, identifying clonal expansion of endogenous CAR-negative CD8+ T cells in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) over time. Additionally, of the five patients evaluable for disease response, three experienced transient radiographic and/or clinical benefit not meeting protocol criteria for response. The first three patients received CAR T cells alone; later patients received lymphodepletion before the first infusion. There were no dose limiting toxicities (DLTs). Aside from expected cytopenias in patients receiving lymphodepletion, serious adverse events possibly attributed to CAR T cell infusion were limited to one episode of headache and one of liver enzyme elevation. One patient withdrew from treatment during the DLT period due to a Grade 3 catheter-related infection and was not evaluable for disease response, although this was not attributed to CAR T cell infusion. Importantly, scRNA- and scTCR-sequence analyses provided insights into CAR T cell interaction with the endogenous immune system. In particular, clonally expanded endogenous CAR- T cells were recovered from the CSF, but not the peripheral blood, of patients who received intraventricular IL13BBζ-CAR T cell therapy. Additionally, although immune infiltrates in CSF and post-therapy tumor did not generally correlate, a fraction of expanded T cell receptors (TCRs) was seen to overlap between CSF and tumor. This has important implications for what samples are collected on these trials and how they are analyzed. These initial findings provide support for continued investigation into locoregionally-delivered IL13BBζ-CAR T cells for children with brain tumors.

Abstract
This phase 1 study evaluated the addition of vorinostat to pembrolizumab in patients with relapsed/refractory (RR) classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and follicular lymphoma. We report the results in cases of cHL. Adult patients with RR cHL who had received ≥1 prior lines of therapy and were ineligible for transplantation were treated in a dose-escalation cohort with 2 dose levels (DLs) and then on an expansion cohort at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) in 21-day cycles. Vorinostat 100 mg twice a day (DL1) and 200 mg twice a day (DL2) was administered orally from days 1 to 5 and 8 to 12; all patients received pembrolizumab 200 mg IV every 3 weeks. The primary end point was safety and determination of RP2D. In total, 32 patients with cHL were enrolled, including 30 at DL2 (RP2D); 78% had received prior anti-programmed cell death 1 (anti-PD-1) therapy, and 56% were PD-1 refractory. Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) included hypertension (9%), neutropenia (9%), hypophosphatemia (9%), thrombocytopenia (6%), and lymphopenia (6%). Immune-related AEs included grade 1 or 2 thyroiditis (13%), grade 1 rash (6%), and grade 3 esophagitis/duodenitis (3%). The overall response rate (ORR) was 72% and complete response (CR) rate was 34%. Patients refractory to prior PD-1 blockade (n = 18) had ORR and CR rates of 56% and 11%, respectively. Pembrolizumab and vorinostat was well tolerated with a high ORR rate in RR cHL including in anti-PD-1-refractory disease. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03150329.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHCT) is potentially curative for relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-cell NHL). However, relapse remains a major cause of treatment failure, especially in patients with either positron emission tomography (PET)-positive and/or chemoresistant disease prior to alloHCT. 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) is a radiolabeled anti-CD20 antibody which is a safe and effective therapy in multiple histologic subtypes of B-cell NHL and has also been incorporated in both autologous HCT (autoHCT) and alloHCT conditioning regimens. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and confirm the safety of the radiolabeled anti-CD20 antibody ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) combined with the reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen of fludarabine and melphalan (Flu/Mel) in patients with high-risk B-cell NHL. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a phase II trial (NCT00577278) of Zevalin with Flu/Mel in patients with high-risk B-cell NHL. We enrolled 41 patients from October 2007 to April 2014, all of whom had either a fully matched sibling or 8/8 or 7/8 matched unrelated donor (MUD). Patients received 111In-Zevalin (5.0 mCi) on day -21 pre-HCT, followed by 90Y-Zevalin (0.4 mCi/kg) on day -14. Fludarabine (25 mg/m2 daily) was given from days -9 to -5 and melphalan (140 mg/m2) was administered on day -4. All patients received rituximab 250 mg/m2 on day +8 and an additional dose on either day +1 or -21 depending on the baseline rituximab level. Patients with a low rituximab level were given rituximab on days -21 and -15. All patients received tacrolimus/sirolimus (T/S) with or without methotrexate (MTX) for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis starting on day -3, and stem cells were infused on day 0. RESULTS The 2-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for all patients were 63% and 61%, respectively. The incidence of relapse at 2 years was 20%. Nonrelapse mortality (NRM) at day +100 and 1 year were 5% and 12%, respectively. The overall cumulative incidence of grade II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD (aGVHD) were 44% and 15%, respectively. Extensive chronic GVHD (cGVHD) occurred in 44% of patients. On univariate analysis, histology (diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) vs. others) was negatively predictive for OS (P = .0013) and PFS (P = .0004), while histology (DLBCL vs. others, P = .0128) predicted for relapse. PET positivity pre-HCT did not correlate with any of the efficacy endpoints. CONCLUSION Addition of Zevalin to Flu/Mel is safe and effective in high-risk NHL and met the prespecific endpoint. Results were suboptimal in patients with DLBCL.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy has significantly benefited patients with several types of solid tumors and some lymphomas. However, many of the treated patients do not have durable clinical response. It has been demonstrated that rescuing exhausted CD8 + T cells is required for ICB-mediated antitumor effects. We recently developed an immunostimulatory strategy based on silencing STAT3 while stimulating immune responses by CpG, ligand for Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). The CpG-small interfering RNA (siRNA) conjugates efficiently enter immune cells, silencing STAT3 and activating innate immunity to enhance T-cell mediated antitumor immune responses. In the present study, we demonstrate that blocking STAT3 through locally delivered CpG- Stat3 siRNA enhances the efficacies of the systemic PD-1 and CTLA4 blockade against mouse A20 B cell lymphoma. In addition, locally delivered CpG- Stat3 siRNA combined with systemic administration of PD-1 antibody significantly augmented both local and systemic antitumor effects against mouse B16 melanoma tumors, with enhanced tumor-associated T cell activation. Overall, our studies in both B cell lymphoma and melanoma mouse models demonstrate the potential of combinatory immunotherapy with CpG- Stat3 siRNA and checkpoint inhibitors as a therapeutic strategy for B cell lymphoma and melanoma.

Abstract
Decoy-oligodeoxynucleotides (D-ODNs) can target undruggable transcription factors, such as STAT3. However, challenges in D-ODN delivery and potency hampered their translation. To overcome these limitations, we conjugated STAT3-specific D-ODN to thalidomide (Tha), a known ligand to cereblon (CRBN, a component of E3 ubiquitin ligase) to generate a proteolysis-targeting chimera (STAT3D PROTAC ). STAT3D PROTAC downregulated STAT3, but not STAT1 or STAT5, in target cells. Computational modeling of the STAT3D PROTAC ternary complex predicted two surface lysines on STAT3, K601 and K626 as potential ubiquitination sites for the PROTAC bound E3 ligase. Accordingly, K601/K626 point mutations in STAT3, as well as proteasome inhibitors, and CRBN deletion alleviated STAT3D PROTAC effect. Next, we conjugated STAT3D PROTAC to a CpG ligand targeting Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) to generate myeloid/B-cell-selective C-STAT3D PROTAC conjugate. Naked C-STAT3D PROTAC was spontaneously internalized by TLR9 + myeloid cells, B cells as well as human Ly18 and mouse A20 lymphoma cells, but not by T cells. C-STAT3D PROTAC decreased STAT3 levels to 50% at 250 nM and over 85% at 2 µM dosing in myeloid cells. We also observed significantly improved downregulation of STAT3 target genes involved in lymphoma cell proliferation and/or survival ( BCL2L1, CCND2, MYC ). Finally, we assessed the antitumor efficacy of C-STAT3D PROTAC compared to C-STAT3D or scrambled control (C-SCR) against human lymphoma xenotransplants. Local C-STAT3D PROTAC administration triggered lymphoma regression while control treatments had limited effects. Our results underscore feasibility of using PROTAC strategy for cell-selective, decoy oligonucleotide-based targeting of STAT3 and potentially other tumorigenic transcription factors for cancer therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In November 2020, the FDA issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy in patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 at high risk for disease progression. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 38 adult hematology patients who received mAbs from 11/2020 to 2/2021. RESULTS Thirty (79%) patients received bamlanivimab and 8 (21%) casirivimab-imdevimab. Four (11%) patients were hospitalized due to COVID-19, two (5%) progressed to severe disease and one patient (3%) died within 30 days from COVID-19 disease. Most patients (n = 34, 89%) ultimately tested negative for SARS-CoV-2, with 34% (n = 13) clearing the virus within 14 days after mAb infusion. The median time to clearance of viral shedding was 25.5 days (range: 7-138). After mAb infusion, most patients with hematological malignancies (HM) (n = 10/15; 67%) resumed therapy for underlying disease with a median delay of 21.5 days (range: 12-42). We observed a significant difference in hospitalization among patients who received a HCT versus non-HCT (0% n = 0/26 and 36% n = 4/11, respectively; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that SARS-CoV-2 specific mAb was safe and may reduce hospitalization compared to what is reported in malignant hematology patients at high risk for disease progression. Our HCT cohort patients had less hospitalization rate compared with HM cohort patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autologous stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using myeloablative total body irradiation (TBI) and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) as a conditioning regimen has become a standard treatment option for certain patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Normal organs are more radiosensitive and prone to compromised function in SSc, and therefore lungs and kidneys require dose reduction. We evaluated the role of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) TBI compared to standard anteroposterior (AP)/posteroanterior (PA) TBI technique. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients with SSc who underwent HSCT with TBI between 2017 and 2022 were eligible. All patients underwent conditioning with equine ATG, cyclophosphamide 120 mg/kg, and IMRT TBI to a total dose of 800 cGy in 200 cGy fractions. Patients were replanned using an AP/PA technique for dosimetric comparison. Patients were evaluated for outcomes including event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), disease-modifying antirheumatic drug-free survival (DMARD-FS), and treatment related mortality (TRM). RESULTS 14 patients were eligible for our analysis. Median follow-up was 34.6 months (1.0-51.7 months). There was one case of TRM secondary to respiratory failure. The 24-month OS, EFS, and DMARD-FS estimates were 92.9%, 74.3%, and 70.0%, respectively. Three patients experienced adverse events, which included respiratory failure (n=1), renal failure (n=1), and death (n=1). Five patients subsequently initiated DMARDs, but three did so due to worsening skin symptoms without other major organ dysfunction. On dosimetric analysis, the mean dose to the planning target volume (PTV) was significantly higher on the IMRT compared to the AP/PA plans (809.4 cGy versus 728.5 cGy, p<0.001). The mean dose to the lungs (239.5 cGy versus 443.9 cGy, p<0.001) and kidneys (204.9cGy versus 281.2 cGy, p<0.001) was significantly lower. CONCLUSIONS Use of IMRT TBI as part of the conditioning regimen for HSCT for SSc yields improved dosimetry with efficacy and toxicity outcomes comparable with published data.

Abstract
Abstract
Background In patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (RR-DLBCL), CAR T has been shown to be effective in patients with at least 2 prior lines of therapy. ZUMA-7 study demonstrated that axi-cel improved event free survival (EFS) compared to standard of care (SOC) salvage chemoimmunotherapy in primary refractory/early relapse DLBCL leading to its recent FDA approval in this setting. We evaluated the cost effectiveness of second line axi-cel. Methods We modeled a hypothetical cohort of US adults (mean age, 65 years) with primary refractory/early relapse DLBCL by developing a Markov model (20-year horizon) to model the cost-effectiveness of axi-cel in the second-line setting compared to SOC using a range of plausible long-term outcomes. EFS and OS were estimated from ZUMA-7. Outcome measures were reported in incremental cost-effectiveness ratios, with a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of $150,000/quality-adjusted life-year (QALY). Results Assuming a 5-year EFS of 35% with second line axi-cel and 10% with SOC, axi-cel was cost-effective at a WTP of 100,000 and 150,000 ($93,547/QALY). Axi-cel was no longer cost effective if its 5-year EFS was 26.4% or lower. One-way sensitivity analysis demonstrated that second-line CAR T is cost effective up to a cost of $972,061 at a WTP of $150,000. Second-line axi-cel was the cost-effective strategy in 73% of the 10,000 Monte-Carlo iterations at a WTP of $150,000. Conclusions If the absolute benefit in EFS is maintained over time, second line axi-cel for aggressive RR-DLBCL is cost effective when compared to SOC at WTPs of $100,000 and $150,000/QALY. However, its cost effectiveness is highly dependent on long-term outcomes. Routine usage of second-line CAR T would add significantly to healthcare expenditures even when used in a high-risk subpopulation. Further reductions in cost of CAR T are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total body irradiation in combination with melphalan for multiple myeloma (MM), was shown to be prohibitively toxic. To ameliorate toxicity, total marrow irradiation (TMI), was given as the sole ablative modality during the second cycle of tandem autologous stem cell transplant (TASCT) for MM patients on a phase I-II trial. STUDY DESIGN Patients with MM in response or with stable disease and ≤ 18 months from diagnosis received melphalan (MEL) 200 mg/m2 and ASCT (Cycle 1), and, after recovery, TMI and ASCT (Cycle 2) followed by maintenance with an IMiD and dexamethasone for up to 12 months. TMI doses were escalated from 1,000 cGy to 1,800 cGy by 200 cGy increments. RESULTS Fifty-four patients were to receive TASCT between 2004 and 2011; 8 patients received single ASCT due to patient or physician preference. The median time between melphalan and TMI was 65 days (range 47-125). Thirty patients (55•6%) received TASCT at the maximum tolerated dose of 1600 cGy. The complete and very good partial response rates were 48•1% and 22•2% following ASCT and maintenance. Median follow-up among survivors was 12.3 years (range: 9•2-15•5+). Progression free survival and overall survival at 10 years was 20•4% (95% CI 10•9-31•9) and 38•8% (95% CI: 25•9-51•5). Secondary neoplasms included (1 each) acute myeloid leukemia, papillary thyroid and prostate carcinoma, and melanoma, and we observed 1 case of ductal carcinoma in situ and 4 patients with non-melanoma skin cancers. CONCLUSION TMI as part of TASCT was well-tolerated and TASCT lead to a 20.4% PFS plateau. The inclusion of TMI as a conditioning regiment for MM prior to ASCT warrants further study in the context of modern induction and maintenance therapies.

Abstract
Aging of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is linked to various blood disorders and malignancies. SIRT1 has been implicated in healthy aging, but its role in HSC aging is poorly understood. Surprisingly, we found that Sirt1 knockout improved the maintenance of quiescence of aging HSCs and their functionality as well as mouse survival in serial bone marrow transplantation (BMT) recipients. The majority of secondary and tertiary BMT recipients of aging wild type donor cells developed B/myeloid mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), which was markedly inhibited by Sirt1 knockout. SIRT1 inhibition also reduced the growth and survival of human B/myeloid MPAL cells. Sirt1 knockout suppressed global gene activation in old HSCs, prominently the genes regulating protein synthesis and oxidative metabolism, which may involve multiple downstream transcriptional factors. Our results demonstrate an unexpected role of SIRT1 in promoting HSC aging and age-dependent MPAL and suggest SIRT1 may be a new therapeutic target for modulating functions of aging HSCs and treatment of MPAL.

Abstract
Patients with acute leukemia who undergo allogenic hematopoietic cell transplantation with active disease have high rates of relapse and poor overall survival (OS) post-transplant compared to patients undergoing HCT in remission. Here, we report the long-term outcomes in 32 patients who received a high-intensity conditioning regimen comprising fractionated total body irradiation (FTBI; 1200 cGy) with pharmacokinetic (PK) dosing of intravenous Busulfan (IV BU) targeted to first dose area under curve (AUC) of 700-900 µM/min and etoposide (30 mg/kg) in a prospective phase 2 clinical trial. The median age of the patients at the time of HCT was 37 years (range: 18-50) presenting with high-risk (n = 6) and relapsed/refractory(r/r) acute leukemias (n = 26). All but one patient underwent HCT using peripheral blood stem cells from matched sibling donors. At a median follow-up of 17.3 years (range 14.4-19.0), 11 patients remained alive. The disease-free survival and OS at 15 years was 34% (versus 40% at 5-years post-HCT). The 15-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 26% and non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 38% (95% CI: 21-54%) and the cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD at 15 years was 33% using a prophylactic regimen of cyclosporine A and mycophenolate mofetil. The most common life-threatening late effects were secondary malignancies, metabolic, or cardiac complications with a cumulative incidence of 6.6%, 6.6%, and 13.3%, respectively. No unusual late effects or patterns of relapse were noted on longer followed on patients treated with intensified myeloablative condition regimen. Results from this study supports continued development of intensive conditioning regimens in patients with r/r acute leukemias to improve leukemia free (LFS) and OS in this high-risk population.

Abstract
BackgroundWhile chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has shown impressive clinical efficacy for hematological malignancies,1 efficacy remains limited for solid tumors due in large part to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.2 Tumor-associated glycoprotein 72 (TAG72) is an aberrantly glycosylated protein overexpressed on ovarian cancer3 and is an exciting target for CAR T cell immunotherapy. Our lab previously developed a second-generation TAG72 CAR T cell product and showed its potency against TAG72-expressing ovarian tumor cells both in vitro and in preclinical mouse models.4 We report here further modification of our TAG72 CAR T cells, with incorporation of interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-15 (IL-15), and evaluate the therapeutic benefits in peritoneal ovarian tumor models.MethodsIn this preclinical study, we build upon our earlier work with in vitro and in vivo evaluation of 9 different second-generation TAG72 CAR constructs varying in single-chain variable fragment, extracellular spacer, transmembrane, and intracellular co-stimulatory domains. We then engineer CAR T cells with two types of cytokines – IL-12 and IL-15 – and put these engineered cells against challenging in vivo tumor models.ResultsThrough in vitro and in vivo studies, we identify the most optimal construct with which we aim to evaluate in a phase 1 clinical trial targeting TAG72-positive ovarian cancer in 2021. Despite thorough optimizations to the CAR backbone, CAR T cells can be additionally engineered for improved anti-tumor response. Therefore, we further engineered CAR T cells with IL-12 or IL-15 production that greatly improves the effectiveness of TAG72-CAR T cells in difficult-to-treat in vivo tumor models. We observed that modification of CAR T cells with IL-15 displayed toxicity when regionally delivered in vivo, yet introduction of IL-12 not only demonstrated safe and superior therapeutic responses, but also allowed the regional administration of CAR T cells to address systemic disease. We are now expanding these findings by evaluating these therapies using syngeneic immunocompetent mouse tumor models.ConclusionsThe tumor microenvironment (TME) harbors various factors that thwart the killing of tumor cells by CAR T cells. Thus, CAR T cells will likely require further engineering to overcome this barrier. We show that amplifying cytokine pathways is one way to overcome the TME and improve the efficacy of CAR T cell therapy for solid tumors.ReferencesMaude SL, Teachey DT, Porter DL, Grupp SA.

Abstract
BackgroundMeditope is a small cyclic peptide that was identified to bind to cetuximab within the Fab region. The meditope binding site can be grafted onto any Fab framework, creating a platform to uniquely and specifically target monoclonal antibodies. Here we demonstrate that the meditope binding site can be grafted onto chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) and utilized to regulate and extend CAR T cell function. We demonstrate that the platform can be used to overcome key barriers to CAR T cell therapy, including T cell exhaustion and antigen escape.MethodsMeditope-enabled CARs (meCARs) were generated by amino acid substitutions to create binding sites for meditope peptide (meP) within the Fab tumor targeting domain of the CAR. meCAR expression was validated by anti-Fc FITC or meP-Alexa 647 probes. In vitro and in vivo assays were performed and compared to standard scFv CAR T cells. For meCAR T cell proliferation and dual-targeting assays, the meditope peptide (meP) was conjugated to recombinant human IL15 fused to the CD215 sushi domain (meP-IL15:sushi) and anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab (meP-rituximab).ResultsWe generated meCAR T cells targeting HER2, CD19 and HER1/3 and demonstrate the selective specific binding of the meditope peptide along with potent meCAR T cell effector function. We next demonstrated the utility of a meP-IL15:sushi for enhancing meCAR T cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Proliferation and persistence of meCAR T cells was dose dependent, establishing the ability to regulate CAR T cell expansion using the meditope platform. We also demonstrate the ability to redirect meCAR T cells tumor killing using meP-antibody adaptors. As proof-of-concept, meHER2-CAR T cells were redirected to target CD20+ Raji tumors, establishing the potential of the meditope platform to alter the CAR specificity and overcome tumor heterogeneity.ConclusionsOur studies show the utility of the meCAR platform for overcoming key challenges for CAR T cell therapy by specifically regulating CAR T cell functionality. Specifically, the meP-IL15:sushi enhanced meCAR T cell persistence and proliferation following adoptive transfer in vivo and protects against T cell exhaustion. Further, meP-ritiuximab can redirect meCAR T cells to target CD20-tumors, showing the versatility of this platform to address the tumor antigen escape variants. Future studies are focused on conferring additional ‘add-on’ functionalities to meCAR T cells to potentiate the therapeutic effectiveness of CAR T cell therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Measurement of waist circumference is used to assess abdominal fat and risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer and stroke. It is performed in several clinical settings for health promotion and medical assessment purposes, including statutory medical assessments where results may influence decisions on fitness to work. Under the Diving at Work Regulations 1997, working divers must have an annual assessment of their fitness to dive performed by an approved medical examiner of divers (AMED), appointed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The assessment includes measurement of height, weight and waist circumference, the latter used as an indicator of central adiposity and associated health risks. AIMS To establish the practice of AMEDs in measuring waist circumference of working divers undergoing medical assessment to determine their fitness to dive. METHODS Ninety-seven AMEDs were sent a questionnaire and asked to describe their current practice in measuring waist circumference. The response rate was 79%. The audit standard used was the consensus document published by the World Health Organization (WHO). RESULTS Of the 77 responses, 76 were completed sufficiently to allow analysis. When the waist was measured, there was consistency in the diver's level of clothing, stage of breathing and posture for the procedure but variability in the site of measurement. Only 7/76 (9%) respondents carried out waist measurement fully in line with WHO guidance. CONCLUSIONS The audit has identified that there is a need for guidance for AMEDs on measuring waist circumference in the statutory medical assessment of working divers.

Abstract
The incidence of debilitating oral mucositis (OM) can be as high as 99% after myeloablative conditioning regimens preparing patients with hematologic malignancies for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Palifermin (KGF) is a recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor that reduces the incidence and duration of severe OM. The long-term safety of KGF has not been well established, however. In this long-term prospective matched-cohort study, patients who received KGF (cases) and underwent autologous or allogeneic HCT for hematologic malignancies between 2006 and 2013 were matched 1:1 to patients who did not receive KGF (controls). The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). Other outcomes were disease relapse, new malignancies, pancreatitis, renal failure requiring dialysis, pulmonary complications, cataract surgery, and acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The analysis population comprised 2191 matched pairs with a wide range of diseases and donor types that received diverse conditioning and GVHD preventive regimens, representing contemporary practice patterns. The median duration of follow-up was 8 years (range, 1 to 12.5 years). In multivariate analyses, the probabilities of OS (relative risk [RR], 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.91 to 1.12), relapse (RR, 1.06; 95% CI, 0.94 to 1.18), new malignancies (RR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.67 to 1.18), and cataract surgery (RR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.74 to 1.50) were not statistically significantly different between cases and controls. In univariate analyses, no increased risks were observed for renal failure requiring dialysis, pancreatitis, acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, interstitial pneumonitis/acute respiratory distress syndrome/idiopathic pneumonia syndrome, or bronchiolitis obliterans/cryptogenic organizing pneumonia/bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia among cases compared with controls. This long-term prospective safety cohort study demonstrates that the KGF group had no increased risk of overall mortality, relapse, new malignancies, or any other key outcome. The broad inclusion criteria allow the results to be generalized to contemporary practice for patients with a wide range of diseases and receiving a wide range of HCT conditioning regimens and graft sources from diverse donor types.

Abstract
Abstract
Despite recent advances in the treatment of non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma (BCL), significant numbers of patients relapse or remain refractory to current therapies. Treatment resistance in BCL is associated with survival signaling via NF-κB transcription factor. While NF-κB is an attractive molecular target in BCL and many other human cancers, as a transcription factor it remains undruggable. Here, we describe a B-cell-selective NF-κB inhibitor consisting of a NF-κB-specific decoy oligodeoxynucleotide (dODN) conjugated to a type B CpG ODN sequence targeting Toll-like receptor-9 (TLR9)-expressing B-cell lymphoma cells. Bc-NFκBdODN showed efficient uptake by human diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), such as U2932, OCI-Ly3 and Jeko1, respectively. In addition, we confirmed that Bc-NFκBdODN inhibited nuclear translocation and DNA-binding activity of NF-κB together with the expression of CCND2 and MYC target genes. In vitro Bc-NFκBdODN enhanced direct and ionizing radiation-induced cytotoxicity in lymphoma cells. In xenotransplanted models of human U2932 and Ly3 lymphomas, local injections of Bc-NFκBdODN reduced NF-κB activity in whole tumors and effectively arrested lymphoma progression when combined with a single, local 3Gy or 10Gy dose of radiation. In immune-competent mice, intratumoral treatment with Bc-NFκBdODN abrogated growth of directly treated as well as distant A20 lymphomas and triggered CD8+ T cell-mediated anti-tumor immune responses. Bc-NFκBdODN but not control Bc-scrambled oligonucleotides downregulated PD-1 expression on CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, while reducing Treg percentage in tumor draining lymph nodes (TDLN). Bc-NFκBdODN treatment also downregulated PD-L1 on tumor-associated myeloid cells and reduced percentage of tumor-infiltrating M-MDSCs. Our results underscore clinical relevance of NF-κB-specific decoy strategy, which can restore efficacy of standard radiation therapy to benefit patients with resistant or relapsed BCL.

Abstract
Temporal dynamics of gene expression inform cellular and molecular perturbations associated with disease development and evolution. Given the complexity of high-dimensional temporal genomic data, an analytic framework guided by a robust theory is needed to interpret time-sequential changes and to predict system dynamics. Here we model temporal dynamics of the transcriptome of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in a two-dimensional state-space representing states of health and leukemia using time-sequential bulk RNA-seq data from a murine model of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The state-transition model identified critical points that accurately predict AML development and identifies stepwise transcriptomic perturbations that drive leukemia progression. The geometry of the transcriptome state-space provided a biological interpretation of gene dynamics, aligned gene signals that are not synchronized in time across mice, and allowed quantification of gene and pathway contributions to leukemia development. Our state-transition model synthesizes information from multiple cell types in the peripheral blood and identifies critical points in the transition from health to leukemia to guide interpretation of changes in the transcriptome as a whole to predict disease progression. SIGNIFICANCE: These findings apply the theory of state transitions to model the initiation and development of acute myeloid leukemia, identifying transcriptomic perturbations that accurately predict time to disease development.See related commentary by Kuijjer, p. 3072 GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT: http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/canres/80/15/3157/F1.large.jpg.

Abstract
Background Triplex vaccine was developed to enhance cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific T cells and prevent CMV reactivation early after hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT). Objective To determine the safety and efficacy of Triplex. Design First-in-patient, phase 2 trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02506933). Setting 3 U.S. HCT centers. Participants 102 CMV-seropositive HCT recipients at high risk for CMV reactivation. Intervention Intramuscular injections of Triplex or placebo were given on days 28 and 56 after HCT. Triplex is a recombinant attenuated poxvirus (modified vaccinia Ankara) expressing immunodominant CMV antigens. Measurements The primary outcomes were CMV events (CMV DNA level ≥1250 IU/mL, CMV viremia requiring antiviral treatment, or end-organ disease), nonrelapse mortality, and severe (grade 3 or 4) graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), all evaluated through 100 days after HCT, and grade 3 or 4 adverse events (AEs) within 2 weeks after vaccination that were probably or definitely attributable to injection. Results A total of 102 patients (51 per group) received the first vaccination, and 91 (89.2%) received both vaccinations (46 Triplex and 45 placebo). Reactivation of CMV occurred in 5 Triplex (9.8%) and 10 placebo (19.6%) recipients (hazard ratio, 0.46 [95% CI, 0.16 to 1.4]; P = 0.075). No Triplex recipient died of nonrelapse causes during the first 100 days or had serious AEs, and no grade 3 or 4 AEs related to vaccination were observed within 2 weeks after vaccination. Incidence of severe acute GVHD after injection was similar between groups (hazard ratio, 1.1 [CI, 0.53 to 2.4]; P = 0.23). Levels of long-lasting, pp65-specific T cells with effector memory phenotype were significantly higher in Triplex than placebo recipients. Limitation The lower-than-expected incidence of CMV events in the placebo group reduced the power of the trial. Conclusion No vaccine-associated safety concerns were identified. Triplex elicited and amplified CMV-specific immune responses, and fewer Triplex-vaccinated patients had CMV viremia. Primary Funding Source National Cancer Institute and Helocyte.

Abstract
Although obesity is known to be critical for cancer development, how obesity negatively impacts antitumor immune responses remains largely unknown. Here, we show that increased fatty acid oxidation (FAO) driven by activated STAT3 in CD8+ T effector cells is critical for obesity-associated breast tumor progression. Ablating T cell Stat3 or treatment with an FAO inhibitor in obese mice spontaneously developing breast tumor reduces FAO, increases glycolysis and CD8+ T effector cell functions, leading to inhibition of breast tumor development. Moreover, PD-1 ligation in CD8+ T cells activates STAT3 to increase FAO, inhibiting CD8+ T effector cell glycolysis and functions. Finally, leptin enriched in mammary adipocytes and fat tissues downregulates CD8+ T cell effector functions through activating STAT3-FAO and inhibiting glycolysis. We identify a critical role of increased oxidation of fatty acids driven by leptin and PD-1 through STAT3 in inhibiting CD8+ T effector cell glycolysis and in promoting obesity-associated breast tumorigenesis.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has emerged as a powerful strategy for B-cell malignancies and may offer new opportunities to improve outcomes for patients with MGs. Our team is clinically evaluating IL13Rα2-targeted CAR-T cells for the treatment of recurrent IL13Rα2-positive MGs [NCT02208362]. While this trial is ongoing, we have previously reported that one patient with recurrent multifocal glioblastoma achieved a complete response post-IL13Rα2-CAR-T therapy despite the non-uniform expression of IL13Rα2 on the tumor. The therapeutic response against IL13Rα2-negative cells suggests CAR-T cells may stimulate endogenous immune responses. To study the interplay between CAR-T cells and host immune subsets, we have established a syngeneic immunocompetent glioma model, which recapitulates the tumor microenvironment (TME) of patients. Murine IL13Rα2-CAR-T cells mediate potent antitumor activity against IL13Rα2-engineered KR158, a highly invasive murine glioma model. Interestingly, mice “cured” from CAR-T therapy, after rechallenge, can successfully reject the tumors. Furthermore, we demonstrate comparable response rate in mice bearing gliomas with mixed antigen expression (50%IL13Rα2+/50%IL13Rα2-) vs 100% IL13Rα2+. Characterization of the TME post-CAR-T therapy indicates activation of endogenous cytotoxic CD8 T and myeloid cells, and decrease in the frequency of T regulatory cells. Further analyses reveal that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) may be reprogrammed during CAR-T therapy to exhibit tumoricidal activity and may promote the activation of endogenous T cells (CD4/CD8 T cells) resulting in enhanced antitumor activity. Current studies are focusing on the characterization of host immune cells to identify the mechanisms involved in induction of host immune responses mediated by CAR-T cell therapy. Our data thus strongly suggest that CAR-T therapy has the potential to reshape the glioma microenvironment creating a context permissible to elicit effective endogenous antitumor immunity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ASN002 is an oral dual inhibitor of Janus kinase and spleen tyrosine kinase, which are involved in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) through their regulatory role on T helper (Th)1, Th2 and Th17/Th22 pathways. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and effects on systemic biomarkers of ASN002 in patients with moderate-to-severe AD. Methods A total of 36 patients with moderate-to-severe AD were randomized (3 : 1) to ASN002 or placebo in the phase Ib study. Three dosage cohorts were studied over a 28-day period (20 mg, 40 mg and 80 mg once daily). RESULTS ASN002 was superior to placebo for the proportion of patients achieving Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) 50 (20 mg 20%, P = 0·93; 40 mg 100%, P = 0·003; 80 mg 83%, P = 0·03; placebo 22%), EASI 75 (20 mg 0%, P = 0·27; 40 mg 71%, P = 0·06; 80 mg 33%, P = 0·65; placebo 22%) and in change from baseline in pruritus (20 mg -1·3 ± 2·1, P = 0·81; 40 mg -3·1 ± 2·7, P = 0·27; 80 mg -4·7 ± 2·1, P = 0·01; placebo -1·6 ± 1·8). Adverse events were generally mild and similar across all groups. ASN002 showed dose-dependent plasma exposure with low interpatient variability, significantly downregulated several serum biomarkers involved in Th1, Th2 and Th17/Th22 immunity, and decreased the atherosclerosis-associated biomarker E selectin/SELE. CONCLUSIONS In patients with moderate-to-severe AD, ASN002 showed strong efficacy with rapid onset of action and associated improvements in systemic inflammation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a prognostic model and cytogenetic risk classification for previously treated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) undergoing reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We performed a retrospective analysis of outcomes of 606 patients with CLL who underwent RIC allogeneic HCT between 2008 and 2014 reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research. RESULTS On the basis of multivariable models, disease status, comorbidity index, lymphocyte count, and white blood cell count at HCT were selected for the development of prognostic model. Using the prognostic score, we stratified patients into low-, intermediate-, high-, and very-high-risk [4-year progression-free survival (PFS) 58%, 42%, 33%, and 25%, respectively, P < 0.0001; 4-year overall survival (OS) 70%, 57%, 54%, and 38%, respectively, P < 0.0001]. We also evaluated karyotypic abnormalities together with del(17p) and found that del(17p) or ≥5 abnormalities showed inferior PFS. Using a multivariable model, we classified cytogenetic risk into low, intermediate, and high (P < 0.0001). When the prognostic score and cytogenetic risk were combined, patients with low prognostic score and low cytogenetic risk had prolonged PFS (61% at 4 years) and OS (75% at 4 years). CONCLUSIONS In this large cohort of patients with previously treated CLL who underwent RIC HCT, we developed a robust prognostic scoring system of HCT outcomes and a novel cytogenetic-based risk stratification system. These prognostic models can be used for counseling patients, comparing data across studies, and providing a benchmark for future interventions. For future study, we will further validate these models for patients receiving targeted therapies prior to HCT.

Abstract
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) continues to be a major complication after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. A regimen of systemic corticosteroids is considered first-line therapy but is often associated with inadequate responses and multiple side effects. In patients with refractory disease, an evidenced-based consensus is lacking as to the single best approach to managing symptoms. Ruxolitinib, a selective JAK1/2 inhibitor, has recently gained favor as a second-line approach in patients with steroid-refractory cGVHD. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the outcomes of 46 patients who received ruxolitinib for cGVHD between March 2016 and December 2017 at our institution, and evaluated ruxolitinib's impact at 6 and 12 months, based on the National Institutes of Health Severity Scale, including organ-specific responses, and mean prednisone dose. Furthermore, we present the first reported probability of ruxolitinib's treatment failure-free survival (FFS) in patients with cGVHD. After 12 months of ruxolitinib therapy, complete response, partial response, and stable disease was observed in 13% (n = 6), 30.4% (n = 14), and 10.9% (n = 5) of patients, respectively. The 1-year probability of FFS was 54.2% (95% confidence interval, .388 to .673), and ruxolitinib use was associated with a reduction in prednisone dose. In conclusion, our data, which represent the largest cohort of patients with cGVHD reported to date, support the use of ruxolitinib for cGVHD refractory to steroids and currently available salvage therapies, discontinued due to lack of response and high cost.

Abstract
High-grade gliomas are aggressive cancers that often become rapidly fatal. Immunotherapy using CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), engineered to express both herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase (HSV1-TK) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) zetakine chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), is a treatment strategy with considerable potential. To optimize this and related immunotherapies, it would be helpful to monitor CTL viability and trafficking to glioma cells. We show that noninvasive positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with 9-[4-[18F]fluoro-3-(hydroxymethyl)butyl]guanine ([18F]FHBG) can track HSV1-tk reporter gene expression present in CAR-engineered CTLs. [18F]FHBG imaging was safe and enabled the longitudinal imaging of T cells stably transfected with a PET reporter gene in patients. Further optimization of this imaging approach for monitoring in vivo cell trafficking should greatly benefit various cell-based therapies for cancer.

Abstract
Purpose An apparent life-threatening event (ALTE) refers to the sudden occurrence in an infant of a breathing abnormality, color change, or alteration in muscle tone or mental status. The finding of retinal hemorrhage in an infant who has experienced an ALTE strongly suggests the possibility of shaken baby syndrome. Previous ALTE studies have reported the frequency of this specific ocular abnormality but have not reported other ocular findings and their possible diagnostic significance. Methods This study reviews ophthalmologic findings from a series of 120 patients with ALTE who underwent eye examinations as part of their inpatient evaluation. Details of the history, physical examination, diagnostic testing, and discharge diagnosis were abstracted from the medical record while the patient was in the hospital. Results Ten patients (8.3%) had positive findings, including retinal hemorrhages in four of the six patients with shaken baby syndrome, the only ophthalmologic finding that helped establish the cause of an ALTE. Conclusions Since the funduscopic examination can help identify child abuse as the cause of an apparent life-threatening event, ophthalmologists play a critical role in the early evaluation of infants who have experienced such an event.

Abstract
Growing evidence links the aggressiveness of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, especially the activated B cell-like type diffuse large B cell lymphomas (ABC-DLBCLs) to Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9)/MyD88 and STAT3 transcription factor signaling. Here, we describe a dual-function molecule consisting of a clinically relevant TLR9 agonist (CpG7909) and a STAT3 inhibitor in the form of a high-affinity decoy oligodeoxynucleotide (dODN). The CpG-STAT3dODN blocked STAT3 DNA binding and activity, thus reducing expression of downstream target genes, such as MYC and BCL2L1, in human and mouse lymphoma cells. We further demonstrated that injections (i.v.) of CpG-STAT3dODN inhibited growth of human OCI-Ly3 lymphoma in immunodeficient mice. Moreover, systemic CpG-STAT3dODN administration induced complete regression of the syngeneic A20 lymphoma, resulting in long-term survival of immunocompetent mice. Both TLR9 stimulation and concurrent STAT3 inhibition were critical for immune-mediated therapeutic effects, since neither CpG7909 alone nor CpG7909 co-injected with unconjugated STAT3dODN extended mouse survival. The CpG-STAT3dODN induced expression of genes critical to antigen-processing/presentation and Th1 cell activation while suppressing survival signaling. These effects resulted in the generation of lymphoma cell-specific CD8/CD4-dependent T cell immunity protecting mice from tumor rechallenge. Our results suggest that CpG-STAT3dODN as a systemic/local monotherapy or in combination with PD1 blockade can provide an opportunity for treating patients with B cell NHL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite current therapies, diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) often has a devastating outcome. We compared myeloablative CD34+ selected autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation with immunosuppression by means of 12 monthly infusions of cyclophosphamide in patients with scleroderma. METHODS We randomly assigned adults (18 to 69 years of age) with severe scleroderma to undergo myeloablative autologous stem-cell transplantation (36 participants) or to receive cyclophosphamide (39 participants). The primary end point was a global rank composite score comparing participants with each other on the basis of a hierarchy of disease features assessed at 54 months: death, event-free survival (survival without respiratory, renal, or cardiac failure), forced vital capacity, the score on the Disability Index of the Health Assessment Questionnaire, and the modified Rodnan skin score. RESULTS In the intention-to-treat population, global rank composite scores at 54 months showed the superiority of transplantation (67% of 1404 pairwise comparisons favored transplantation and 33% favored cyclophosphamide, P=0.01). In the per-protocol population (participants who received a transplant or completed ≥9 doses of cyclophosphamide), the rate of event-free survival at 54 months was 79% in the transplantation group and 50% in the cyclophosphamide group (P=0.02). At 72 months, Kaplan-Meier estimates of event-free survival (74% vs. 47%) and overall survival (86% vs. 51%) also favored transplantation (P=0.03 and 0.02, respectively). A total of 9% of the participants in the transplantation group had initiated disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) by 54 months, as compared with 44% of those in the cyclophosphamide group (P=0.001). Treatment-related mortality in the transplantation group was 3% at 54 months and 6% at 72 months, as compared with 0% in the cyclophosphamide group. CONCLUSIONS Myeloablative autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation achieved long-term benefits in patients with scleroderma, including improved event-free and overall survival, at a cost of increased expected toxicity. Rates of treatment-related death and post-transplantation use of DMARDs were lower than those in previous reports of nonmyeloablative transplantation.

Abstract
Total body irradiation (TBI) has been included in standard conditioning for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) before hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Non-TBI regimens have incorporated busulfan (Bu) to decrease toxicity. This retrospective study analyzed TBI and Bu on outcomes of ALL patients 18-60 years old, in first or second complete remission (CR), undergoing HLA-compatible sibling, related, or unrelated donor HCT, who reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research from 2005 to 2014. TBI plus etoposide (25%) or cyclophosphamide (75%) was used in 819 patients, and intravenous Bu plus fludarabine (41%), clofarabine (30%), cyclophosphamide (15%), or melphalan (13%) was used in 299 patients. Bu-containing regimens were analyzed together, since no significant differences for patient outcomes were noted between them. Bu patients were older, with better performance status; took longer to achieve first CR and receive HCT; were treated more recently; and were more likely to receive peripheral blood grafts, antithymocyte globulin, or tyrosine kinase inhibitors. With median follow-up of 3.6 years for Bu and 5.3 years for TBI, adjusted 3-year outcomes showed treatment-related mortality Bu 19% versus TBI 25% (P = .04); relapse Bu 37% versus TBI 28% (P = .007); disease-free survival (DFS) Bu 45% versus TBI 48% (P = .35); and overall survival (OS) Bu 57% versus TBI 53% (P = .35). In multivariate analysis, Bu patients had higher risk of relapse (relative risk, 1.46; 95% confidence interval, 1.15 to 1.85; P = .002) compared with TBI patients. Despite the higher relapse, Bu-containing conditioning led to similar OS and DFS following HCT for ALL.

Abstract
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is an autoimmune-like syndrome mediated by pathogenic CD4+ T and B cells, but the function of extrafollicular and germinal center CD4+ T and B interactions in cGVHD pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Here we show that extrafollicular CD4+ T and B interactions are sufficient for inducing cGVHD, while germinal center formation is dispensable. The pathogenesis of cGVHD is associated with the expansion of extrafollicular CD44hiCD62loPSGL-1loCD4+ (PSGL-1loCD4+) T cells. These cells express high levels of ICOS, and the blockade of ICOS/ICOSL interaction prevents their expansion and ameliorates cGVHD. Expansion of PSGL-1loCD4+ T cells is also prevented by BCL6 or Stat3 deficiency in donor CD4+ T cells, with the induction of cGVHD ameliorated by BCL6 deficiency and completely suppressed by Stat3 deficiency in donor CD4+ T cells. These results support that Stat3- and BCL6-dependent extrafollicular CD4+ T and B interactions play critical functions in the pathogenesis of cGVHD.Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is mediated by specific CD4 and B cells, but the relative contribution of extrafollicular and germinal centre (GC) T-B interaction is unclear. Here the authors show that the extrafollicular expansion of a specific CD4 T subset is sufficient for inducing cGVHD while GC is dispensable.
