Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS The combination therapy of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART) therapy has been employed to improve outcomes for relapsed or refractory (R/R) B-cell non-Hodgkin-lymphoma (B-NHL). The widely used conditioning regimen before ASCT plus CART therapy reported in the literature was carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine and melphalan (BEAM). However, whether adding fludarabine to the BEAM regimen (BEAMF) can improve the survival of patients with R/R B-NHL remains unknown. METHODS In total, 39 and 19 patients with R/R B-NHL were enrolled to compare clinical outcomes in the BEAM and BEAMF regimens before ASCT plus CD19/22 CART therapy, respectively. RESULTS The objective response (OR) rates at 3 months to BEAM and BEAMF regimens before ASCT plus CD19/22 CART therapy were 71.8% and 94.7%, respectively (P = 0.093). The BEAMF regimen showed a trend towards a superior duration of response compared with the BEAM regimen (P = 0.09). After a median follow-up of 28 months (range: 0.93-51.9 months), the BEAMF regimen demonstrated superior 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) (89.5% versus 63.9%; P = 0.048) and 2-year overall survival (OS) (100% vs 77.3%; P = 0.035) compared with the BEAM regimen. In the multivariable Cox regression analysis, OR at month 3 (responders) was remarkably correlated with better OS (hazard ratio: 0.112, P = 0.005) compared with OR (non-responders). CONCLUSIONS For patients with R/R B-NHL, the BEAMF regimen before ASCT plus CD19/22 CART therapy was correlated with superior PFS and OS than the BEAM regimen, and the BEAMF regimen is a promising alternative conditioning regimen for ASCT plus CAR-T therapy.

Abstract
The purine analog fludarabine (Flu) plays a central role in reduced-intensity conditioning and myeloablative reduced-toxicity conditioning regimens because of limited nonhematologic toxicities. Few reports assess the impact of different dose of Flu on the clinical outcomes and the Flu doses vary across reports. To compare the effect of Flu dose, the clinical outcomes of patients who received Flu and busulfan (FB; n = 1647) or melphalan (Flu with melphalan (FM); n = 1162) conditioning for unrelated bone marrow transplantation were retrospectively analyzed using Japanese nationwide registry data. In the FB group, high-dose Flu (180 mg/m2; HFB) and low-dose Flu (150/125 mg/m2; LFB) were given to 1334 and 313 patients, respectively. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rates were significantly higher in the HFB group than in the LFB group (49.5% versus 39.2%, P < .001). In the HFB and LFB groups, the cumulative incidences were 30.4% and 36.6% (P = .058) for 3-year relapse and 25.1% and 28.1% (P = .24) for 3-year nonrelapse mortality (NRM), respectively. In the multivariate analysis for OS and relapse, Flu dose was identified as an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio: 0.83, P = .03; hazard ratio: 0.80, P = .043). In the FM group, high-dose Flu (180 mg/m2; HFM) and low-dose Flu (150/125 mg/m2; LFM) were given to 118 and 1044 patients, respectively. The OS, relapse, and NRM after 3 years did not differ significantly between the HFM and LFM groups (48.3% versus 48.8%, P = .92; 23.7% versus 27.2%, P = .55; 31.9% versus 30.8%, P = .67). These findings suggest that high-dose Flu was associated with favorable outcomes in the FB group but not in the FM group.

Abstract
A randomized study (acronym: MC-FludT.14/L Trial II) demonstrated that fludarabine plus treosulfan (30 g/m²) was an effective and well tolerated conditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). To further evaluate this regimen, all 252 study patients aged 50 to 70 years were compared with similar patients, who underwent allo-HCT after fludarabine/melphalan (140 mg/m²) (FluMel) or busulfan (12.8 mg/kg)/cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg) (BuCy) regimens and whose data was provided by the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation registry. In 1:1 propensity-score matched-paired analysis (PSA) of AML patients, there was no difference in 2-year-relapse-incidence after FluTreo compared with either FluMel (n = 110, p = 0.28) or BuCy (n = 78, p = 0.98). However, 2-year-non-relapse-mortality (NRM) was lower compared with FluMel (p = 0.019) and BuCy (p < 0.001). Consequently, 2-year-overall-survival (OS) after FluTreo was higher compared with FluMel (p = 0.04) and BuCy (p < 0.001). For MDS patients, no endpoint differences between FluTreo and FluMel (n = 30) were evident, whereas 2-year-OS after FluTreo was higher compared with BuCy (n = 25, p = 0.01) due to lower 2-year-NRM. Multivariate sensitivity analysis confirmed all significant results of PSA. Consequently, FluTreo (30 g/m²) seems to retain efficacy compared with FluMel and BuCy, but is better tolerated by older patients.

Abstract
The present study compared lower-dose melphalan (80 mg/m2, FM80) and higher-dose melphalan (140 mg/m2, FM140) when administering reduced-intensity conditioning with fludarabine in adult patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). We retrospectively analyzed nationwide registry data (2006 to 2019) and compared transplant outcomes between the 2 groups. Ninety-two patients (median age, 61 [interquartile range, 56 to 65] years) were assigned to the FM80 and FM140 groups by propensity score matching. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate in the FM140 group (63.9%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 52.9% to 73.0%) was significantly higher than that in the FM80 group (54.2%; 95% CI, 37.1% to 52.1%) (P = .038). The FM140 group had a nonsignificantly (P = .095) lower 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse (15.5%; 95% CI, 8.9% to 23.8% versus 26.0%; 95% CI, 17.3% to 35.5%). The 3-year cumulative incidences of nonrelapse mortality were 22.3% (95% CI, 14.1% to 31.8%) and 23.7% (95% CI, 15.4% to 33.2%) in the FM80 and FM140 groups, respectively (P = .49). The beneficial effect of FM140 was more evident in patients with a poor cytogenetic risk. Our findings suggest the superiority of FM140 in patients with MDS undergoing allo-HSCT, especially in high-risk patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be curative for children with difficult-to-treat leukemia. The conditioning regimen utilized is known to influence outcomes. We report outcomes of the conditioning regimen used at the Alberta Children's Hospital, consisting of busulfan (with pharmacokinetic target of 3750 μmol*min/L/day ±10%) for 4 days, higher dose (250 mg/m2 ) fludarabine and 400 centigray (cGy) of total body irradiation. PROCEDURE This retrospective study involved children receiving transplant for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It compared children who fell within the target range for busulfan with those who were either not measured or were measured and fell outside this range. All other treatment factors were identical. RESULTS Twenty-nine children (17 within target) were evaluated. All subjects engrafted neutrophils with a median [interquartile range] time of 14 days [8-30 days]. The cumulative incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease was 44.8% [95% confidence interval, CI: 35.6%-54.0%], while chronic graft-versus-host disease was noted in 16.0% [95% CI: 8.7%-23.3%]. At 2 years, the overall survival was 78.1% [95% CI: 70.8%-86.4%] and event-free survival was 74.7% [95% CI: 66.4%-83.0%]. Cumulative incidence of relapse was 11.3% [95% CI: 5.1%-17.5%]. There were no statistically significant differences in between the group that received targeted busulfan compared with the untargeted group. CONCLUSION Our conditioning regiment for children with ALL resulted in outcomes comparable to standard treatment with acceptable toxicities and significant reduction in radiation dose. Targeting busulfan dose in this cohort did not result in improved outcomes.

Abstract
Fludarabine/busulfan and fludarabine/melphalan are viable options as conditioning regimens. However, the optimal fludarabine-based conditioning in cord blood transplantation (CBT) remains unclear. Therefore, this retrospective, registry-based study aimed to analyze the impact of five fludarabine-containing conditioning regimens on 1395 adult patients (median age, 61 years) with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and chronic myeloid leukemia who underwent their first CBT. Treatment outcomes of fludarabine combined with melphalan (100-140 mg/m2 ) and low-dose total body irradiation (TBI; FM140T); melphalan (80-99 mg/m2 ) and TBI (FM80T); busulfan (12.8 mg/kg) and melphalan (FB4M); busulfan (12.8 mg/kg) and TBI (FB4T); and busulfan (6.4 mg/kg) and TBI (FB2T) were compared. The 3-year survival rate was 67%, 53%, 44%, 36%, and 39%, respectively (p < .0001). The FM140T survival rate was the most favorable after adjusting for confounders, and the hazard ratios (vs. FM140T) for overall mortality were as follows: FM80T, 1.6 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2-2.2); FB4M, 2.1 (95% CI, 1.6-2.8); FB4T, 2.7 (95% CI, 2.0-3.7); and FB2T, 2.2 (95% CI, 1.6-3.1). The better survival observed with FM140T, regardless of the disease, disease risk, age, or transplant year, was attributed to the lower relapse rate and lower non-relapse mortality (NRM) associated with fewer infectious deaths. Conversely, FB4T was associated with a higher relapse rate and higher NRM. The findings indicate that the outcomes of CBT in myeloid malignancies were highly dependent on both the alkylating agent and its dose in combination with fludarabine. Therefore, compared with fludarabine/busulfan-based conditioning, FM140T may be the preferred regimen.

Abstract
Optimal conditioning prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for children with non-malignant diseases is subject of ongoing research. This prospective, randomized, phase 2 trial compared safety and efficacy of busulfan with treosulfan based preparative regimens. Children with non-malignant diseases received fludarabine and either intravenous (IV) busulfan (4.8 to 3.2 mg/kg/day) or IV treosulfan (10, 12, or 14 g/m2/day). Thiotepa administration (2 × 5 mg/kg) was at the investigator's discretion. Primary endpoint was freedom from transplantation (treatment)-related mortality (freedom from TRM), defined as death between Days -7 and +100. Overall, 101 patients (busulfan 50, treosulfan 51) with at least 12 months follow-up were analyzed. Freedom from TRM was 90.0% (95% CI: 78.2%, 96.7%) after busulfan and 100.0% (95% CI: 93.0%, 100.0%) after treosulfan. Secondary outcomes (transplantation-related mortality [12.0% versus 3.9%]) and overall survival (88.0% versus 96.1%) favored treosulfan. Graft failure was more common after treosulfan (n = 11), than after busulfan (n = 2) while all patients were rescued by second procedures except one busulfan patient. CTCAE Grade III adverse events were similar in both groups. This study confirmed treosulfan to be an excellent alternative to busulfan and can be safely used for conditioning treatment in children with non-malignant disease.

Abstract
How important is choice of conditioning regimen in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for sickle cell disease (SCD)? We compared HSCT outcomes by conditioning regimen in paediatric patients with SCD from the EBMT registry. In 2010-2020, 251 patients aged <18 years underwent a first matched sibling donor (MSD) HSCT with conditioning based on busulfan-fludarabine (bu-flu; n = 89) or treosulfan-fludarabine (treo-flu; n = 162). In the bu-flu and treo-flu groups, 51.7% and 99.4% of patients, respectively, received thiotepa. Median follow-up was 2.7 years. Two-year overall survival (OS) was 98.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 90.9-99.8) with bu-flu and 99.3% (95% CI: 95.2-99.9) with treo-flu (p = 0.63). Grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) at 100 days was 2.4% (95% CI: 0.4-7.5) and 0.6% (0.1%-3.2%) for bu-flu and treo-flu respectively (p = 0.25). The 2-year incidence of extensive chronic GVHD was 1.5% (95% CI: 0.1-7.3) with bu-flu and 8.0% (95% CI: 4.1-13.3) with treo-flu (p = 0.057). These multinational data confirm the excellent curative capacity of MSD HSCT with myeloablative conditioning. Both conditioning regimens yielded excellent OS, low rates of acute and chronic GVHD, and low rates of graft failure.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a heterogeneous disease, the prognosis of which varies according to the cytogenetic group. We characterized a rare chromosomal abnormality (del(8p), deletion of the short arm of chromosome 8) in the context of CLL. By comparing the largest cohort of del(8p) CLL to date (n = 57) with a non-del(8p) cohort (n = 155), del(8p) was significantly associated with a poor prognosis, a shorter time to first treatment, worse overall survival (OS), and a higher risk of Richter transformation. For patients treated with fludarabine-based regimens, the next-treatment-free survival and the OS were shorter in del(8p) cases (including those with mutated IGHV). One copy of the TNFRSF10B gene (coding a pro-apoptotic receptor activated by TRAIL) was lost in 91% of del(8p) CLL. TNFRSF10B was haploinsufficient in del(8p) CLL, and was involved in the modulation of fludarabine-induced cell death - as confirmed by our experiments in primary cells and in CRISPR-edited TNFRSF10B knock-out CLL cell lines. Lastly, del(8p) abrogated the synergy between fludarabine and TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Our results highlight del(8p)'s value as a prognostic marker and suggest that fit CLL patients (i.e. with mutated IGHV and no TP53 disruption) should be screened for del(8p) before the initiation of fludarabine-based treatment.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains the only curative treatment for myelofibrosis. However, the optimal conditioning regimen either with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) or myeloablative conditioning (MAC) is not well known. Using the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database, we identified adults aged ≥18 years with myelofibrosis undergoing allo-HCT between 2008-2019 and analyzed the outcomes separately in the RIC and MAC cohorts based on the conditioning regimens used. Among 872 eligible patients, 493 underwent allo-HCT using RIC (fludarabine/ busulfan n=166, fludarabine/melphalan n=327) and 379 using MAC (fludarabine/busulfan n=247, busulfan/cyclophosphamide n=132). In multivariable analysis with RIC, fludarabine/melphalan was associated with inferior overall survival (hazard ratio [HR]=1.80; 95% confidenec interval [CI]: 1.15-2.81; P=0.009), higher early non-relapse mortality (HR=1.81; 95% CI: 1.12-2.91; P=0.01) and higher acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) (grade 2-4 HR=1.45; 95% CI: 1.03-2.03; P=0.03; grade 3-4 HR=2.21; 95%CI: 1.28-3.83; P=0.004) compared to fludarabine/busulfan. In the MAC setting, busulfan/cyclophosphamide was associated with a higher acute GvHD (grade 2-4 HR=2.33; 95% CI: 1.67-3.25; P<0.001; grade 3-4 HR=2.31; 95% CI: 1.52-3.52; P<0.001) and inferior GvHD-free relapse-free survival (GRFS) (HR=1.94; 95% CI: 1.49-2.53; P<0.001) as compared to fludarabine/busulfan. Hence, our study suggests that fludarabine/busulfan is associated with better outcomes in RIC (better overall survival, lower early non-relapse mortality, lower acute GvHD) and MAC (lower acute GvHD and better GRFS) in myelofibrosis.

Abstract
Bone marrow failure syndrome (BMFS) type 3 is a rare genetic heterogeneous disorder, considered to be one of Inherited BMFSs related to ribosomopathies. It caused by a novel Homozygous variant in DNAJC21 gene, which affects cytoplasmic maturation of 60S ribosomal, leading to increase cell death, and inhibits cellular proliferation causing shwachman-diamond Syndrome-like syndrome. Only 15 cases of BMFS type 3 have been published in the literature. Therefore, the full phenotypic spectrum and the experience of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are limited. Herein, we report an uncomplicated HSCT from human leukocyte antigen-identical sibling for a BMFS-3 patient at 22 months of age, who suffered from chronic diarrhea, severe failure to thrive and cytopenia required transfusions. We used a reduced intensity conditioning regimen including fludarabine, low-dose cyclophosphamide, and antithymocyte globulin with cyclosporine for prevent graft versus host disease. This regimen was safe and sufficient to achieve rapid engraftment without significant toxicity. Although, Mixed chimerism between 80% and 90% was observed since day +30, she gained 2 kg during 12 months post-transplant and no need for transfusions has been reported any more. Thus, we recommend HSCT with fludarabine-based reduced intensity conditioning regimen in this syndrome as progressive cytopenia occurs and an human leukocyte antigen-matched family donor is available.

Abstract
Objective Graft failure (GF) is a life-threatening complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). A standardized conditioning regimen and an appropriate graft source of salvage HSCT for GF have not yet been established. Some case series have shown good hematopoietic recoveries after salvage HSCT using a short-term reduced-intensity preparative regimen consisting of fludarabine (30-90 mg/m2), cyclophosphamide (2 g/m2), and total-body irradiation (2 Gy). However, the dose of fludarabine has varied in these reports based on the clinical condition of the patients, resulting in very limited experiences with each dose of fludarabine. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 10 patients who developed GF after allogeneic HSCT and underwent salvage cord blood transplantation (CBT) using the above-mentioned conditioning regimen with a fixed dose (90 mg/m2) of fludarabine. Results Eight patients (80.0%) achieved neutrophil engraftment within 30 days from salvage HSCT with a median of 21 (range, 17-23) days. The 1-year overall survival (OS) rate after the salvage HSCT was 50.0%, and the median OS was 281 (range, 23-1,638) days. Cumulative incidences of non-relapse mortality and relapse at 1 year were 50.0% and 10.0%, respectively. Conclusion CBT using this short-term reduced-intensity conditioning regimen may be a promising salvage therapy for GF.

Abstract
E1912 was a randomized phase 3 trial comparing indefinite ibrutinib plus 6 cycles of rituximab (IR) to 6 cycles of fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab (FCR) in untreated younger patients with CLL. We describe measurable residual disease (MRD) levels in E1912 over time and correlate them with clinical outcome. Undetectable MRD rates (<1 CLL cell per 104 leukocytes) were 29.1%, 30.3%, 23.4%, and 8.6% at 3, 12, 24, and 36 months for FCR, and significantly lower at 7.9%, 4.2%, and 3.7% at 12, 24, and 36 months for IR, respectively. Undetectable MRD at 3, 12, 24, and 36 months was associated with longer progression-free survival (PFS) in the FCR arm, with hazard ratios (MRD detectable/MRD undetectable) of 4.29 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.89-9.71), 3.91 (95% CI, 1.39-11.03), 14.12 (95% CI, 1.78-111.73), and not estimable (no events among those with undetectable MRD), respectively. In the IR arm, patients with detectable MRD did not have significantly worse PFS compared with those in whom MRD was undetectable; however, PFS was longer in those with MRD levels <10-1 than in those with MRD levels above this threshold. Our observations provide additional support for the use of MRD as a surrogate end point for PFS in patients receiving FCR. In patients on indefinite ibrutinib-based therapy, PFS did not differ significantly by undetectable MRD status, whereas those with MRD <10-1 tended to have longer PFS, although continuation of ibrutinib would very likely be necessary to maintain treatment efficacy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Treatment-associated upregulation of suppressive checkpoints and a lack of costimulatory signals compromise the antitumor efficacy of oncolytic virus immunotherapy. Therefore, we aimed to identify highly effective therapeutic targets to provide a proof-of-principle for immune checkpoint together with oncolytic virus-mediated viro-immunotherapy for cancer. METHODS A fusion protein containing both the extracellular domain of programmed death-1 (PD-1) and the poliovirus receptor (PVR) was designed. Next, the corresponding expression fragment was inserted into the genome of a replication-competent adenovirus to generate Ad5sPD1PVR. The infection, expression, replication and oncolysis of Ad5sPD1PVR were investigated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines. Immune activation and the antitumor efficacy of Ad5sPD1PVR were examined in HCC tumor models including a humanized immunocompetent mouse model. RESULTS Ad5sPD1PVR effectively infected and replicated in HCC cells and secreted sPD1PVR. In a H22 ascitic HCC mouse model, intraperitoneal injection of Ad5sPD1PVR markedly recruited lymphocytes and activated antitumor immune responses. Ad5sPD1PVR exerted a profound antitumor effect on ascitic HCC. Furthermore, we found that Ad5sPD1PVR-H expressing sPD1PVR of human origin exhibited potent antitumor effects in a HCC humanized mouse model. We also found that CD8+ T cells mediated the antitumor effects and long-term tumor-specific immune surveillance induced by Ad5sPD1PVR. Finally, when combined with fludarabine, the antitumor efficacy of Ad5sPD1PVR was found to be further improved in the ascitic HCC model. CONCLUSIONS From our data we conclude that the newly designed recombinant Ad5sPD1PVR virus significantly enhances CD8+ T cell-mediated antitumor efficacy with long-term tumor-specific immune surveillance in hepatocellular carcinoma, and that fludarabine is a promising therapeutic partner for Ad5sPD1PVR.

Abstract
In continuation of our previous effort, different in silico selection methods were applied to 310 naturally isolated metabolites that exhibited antiviral potentialities before. The applied selection methods aimed to pick the most relevant inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 nsp10. At first, a structural similarity study against the co-crystallized ligand, S-Adenosyl Methionine (SAM), of SARS-CoV-2 nonstructural protein (nsp10) (PDB ID: 6W4H) was carried out. The similarity analysis culled 30 candidates. Secondly, a fingerprint study against SAM preferred compounds 44, 48, 85, 102, 105, 182, 220, 221, 282, 284, 285, 301, and 302. The docking studies picked 48, 182, 220, 221, and 284. While the ADMET analysis expected the likeness of the five candidates to be drugs, the toxicity study preferred compounds 48 and 182. Finally, a density-functional theory (DFT) study suggested vidarabine (182) to be the most relevant SARS-Cov-2 nsp10 inhibitor.

This study aimed to identify the impact of conditioning regimen on the outcome of CBT in children with acute leukemia. METHODS Medical records of patients with acute leukemia who received CBT were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS A total of 71 patients were allocated into 2 groups; patients who received total body irradiation 10 Gy, cyclophosphamide 120 mg/kg, and fludarabine 75 mg/m² were named as TCF group (n = 18), while the non-TCF group (n = 53) included patients conditioned with regimens other than the TCF regimen. All patients in the TCF group were successfully engrafted, while 22.6% in the non-TCF group (n = 12) failed to achieve donor-origin hematopoiesis (P = 0.028). The incidence of cytomegalovirus diseases was 5.6% in the TCF group and 30.2% in the non-TCF group (P = 0.029). The 5-year overall survival rates of the TCF and non-TCF groups were 77.8% and 44.2%, respectively (P = 0.017). CONCLUSION Patients conditioned with the TCF regimen achieved better engraftment and survival rates, less suffering from cytomegalovirus disease. Our data suggest that the TCF regimen is a preferred option for CBT in children with acute leukemia.

Abstract
Prognosis for relapsed or refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) despite salvage therapy is dismal. This phase I dose-escalation trial assessed the safety and preliminary clinical activity of selinexor, an oral exportin-1 (XPO1) inhibitor, in combination with FLAG-Ida in younger R/R AML patients. The aim was to find the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Fourteen patients were included, and selinexor dosage was 60 mg (3 patients), 80 mg (3 patients), and 100 mg (7 patients) weekly. No dose-limiting toxicities were reported. Grade ≥3 non-hematologic adverse events (AEs) occurred in 78.6% of patients. Two patients were non MTD evaluable due to early death, and overall, 3 out of 14 patients (21.4%) had fatal AEs. Five out of 12 (42%) response and MTD evaluable patients achieved a complete remission (CR; n=4) or CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi, n=1), and 4 patients (33%) subsequently underwent allogeneic transplantation. The median overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were 6.0 (range 0.9-19.3) and 1.1 months (range 0.7-19.3), respectively. Using selinexor 100 mg/weekly, CR/CRi rate of 66.7%, OS 13.6 months (range, 1.6-19.3), and EFS 10.6 months (range, 0.9-19.3). At last follow-up, 3 patients were alive. Selinexor 100 mg/weekly with FLAG-Ida combination in R/R AML showed acceptable tolerability and efficacy, establishing the RP2D of this regimen in future clinical trials. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03661515.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Very little is known about the risk that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral infection poses to cancer patients, many of whom are immune compromised causing them to be more susceptible to a host of infections. As a precautionary measure, many clinical studies halted enrollment during the initial surge of the global Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic. In this case report, we detail the successful treatment of a relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM) patient treated with an anti-B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy immediately following clinical recovery from COVID-19. CASE PRESENTATION The 57 year old Caucasian male patient had a 4-year history of MM and was considered penta-refractory upon presentation for CAR T cell therapy. He had a history of immunosuppression and received one dose of lymphodepleting chemotherapy (LDC) the day prior to COVID-19 diagnosis; this patient was able to mount a substantial immune response against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and antiviral antibodies remain detectable 2 months after receiving anti-BCMA CAR T cell therapy. The recent SARS-CoV-2 infection in this patient did not exacerbate CAR T-associated cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and conversely the CAR T cell therapy did not result in COVID-19-related complications. One month after CAR T cell infusion, the patient was assessed to have an unconfirmed partial response per International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. CONCLUSION Our case adds important context around treatment choice for MM patients in the era of COVID-19 and whether CAR T therapy can be administered to patients who have recovered from COVID-19. As the COVID-19 global pandemic continues, the decision of whether to proceed with CAR T cell therapy will require extensive discussion weighing the potential risks and benefits of therapy. This case suggests that it is possible to successfully complete anti-BCMA CAR T cell therapy after recovery from COVID-19. CRB-402 study registered 6 September 2017 at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03274219).

Abstract
CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor-engineered (CD19 CAR) T-cell therapy has shown significant efficacy for relapsed or refractory (R/R) B-cell malignancies. Yet, CD19 CAR T cells fail to induce durable responses in most patients. Second infusions of CD19 CAR T cells (CART2) have been considered as a possible approach to improve outcomes. We analyzed data from 44 patients with R/R B-cell malignancies (acute lymphoblastic leukemia [ALL], n = 14; chronic lymphocytic leukemia [CLL], n = 9; non-Hodgkin lymphoma [NHL], n = 21) who received CART2 on a phase 1/2 trial (NCT01865617) at our institution. Despite a CART2 dose increase in 82% of patients, we observed a low incidence of severe toxicity after CART2 (grade ≥3 cytokine release syndrome, 9%; grade ≥3 neurotoxicity, 11%). After CART2, complete response (CR) was achieved in 22% of CLL, 19% of NHL, and 21% of ALL patients. The median durations of response after CART2 in CLL, NHL, and ALL patients were 33, 6, and 4 months, respectively. Addition of fludarabine to cyclophosphamide-based lymphodepletion before the first CAR T-cell infusion (CART1) and an increase in the CART2 dose compared with CART1 were independently associated with higher overall response rates and longer progression-free survival after CART2. We observed durable CAR T-cell persistence after CART2 in patients who received cyclophosphamide and fludarabine (Cy-Flu) lymphodepletion before CART1 and a higher CART2 compared with CART1 cell dose. The identification of 2 modifiable pretreatment factors independently associated with better outcomes after CART2 suggests strategies to improve in vivo CAR T-cell kinetics and responses after repeat CAR T-cell infusions, and has implications for the design of trials of novel CAR T-cell products after failure of prior CAR T-cell immunotherapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) targeting CD19 have shown great potential for treatment of B-cell malignancies. For those patients who can not achieve complete remission (CR) or suffer from relapse after CAR-T therapy, further therapeutic strategies still remain elusive. Whether existing CAR-T cells can revitalize in vivo and eradicate tumor cells is still unknown. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a case of diffused large B-cell lymphoma patient who had achieved CR after CD19 targeted CAR-T therapy but relapsed after 5 months. DIAGNOSIS Five months after CAR-T cell infusion, the patient was confirmed a relapse by follow-up PET/CT scan and a mass biopsy. Flow cytometry showed a dramatically decreased percentage of CAR-T cells in peripheral blood (PB). INTERVENTIONS A second anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy was planned with deliberation. Firstly, the patient received lymphodepletion chemotherapy with fludarabine (25 mg/m, d1-d3) and cyclophosphamide (500 mg/m d2-d3). OUTCOMES After fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) lymphodepletion chemotherapy, pre-existing CAR-T cells were revitalized and the patient developed grade 2 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) contributing to the regression of relapsed B-cell lymphoma. CONCLUSIONS This case suggested that FC chemotherapy could revitalize CAR-T cells contributing to the regression of relapsed B-cell lymphoma. Nevertheless, further researches are required in the future as this report described only a single case.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for children with nonmalignant disorders is challenged by potential drug-related toxicities and poor engraftment. This retrospective analysis expands on our single pediatric medical center experience with targeted busulfan, fludarabine, and intravenous (IV) alemtuzumab as a low-toxicity regimen to achieve sustained donor engraftment. Sixty-two patients received this regimen for their first HCT for a nonmalignant disorder between 2004 and 2018. Donors were matched sibling in 27%, 8/8 HLA allele-matched unrelated in 50%, and 7/8 HLA allele-mismatched in 23% (some of whom received additional immunoablation with thiotepa or clofarabine). Five patients experienced graft failure for a cumulative incidence of 8.4% (95% CI, 1 to 16%). In engrafted patients, the median donor chimerism in whole blood and CD3, CD14/15, and CD19 subsets at 1-year were 96%, 90%, 99%, and 99%, respectively. Only one patient received donor lymphocyte infusions (DLIs) for poor chimerism. Two patients died following disease progression despite 100% donor chimerism. The 3-year cumulative incidence of treatment-related mortality was 10% (95% CI, 2 to 17%). Overall survival and event-free-survival at 3-years were 87% (95% CI, 78 to 95%) and 80% (95% CI, 70 to 90%), respectively. The 6-month cumulative incidence of grade II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was 7% (95% CI, 3 to 13%), while the 3-year cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD was 5% (95% CI, 0 to 11%). These results suggest that use of targeted busulfan, fludarabine and IV alemtuzumab offers a well-tolerated option for children with nonmalignant disorders to achieve sustained engraftment with a low incidence of GVHD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with optimal conditioning has helped better long-term survival in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This study investigated the efficacy and safety of reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) with busulfan and fludarabine in adult ALL patients unfit for myeloablation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Records of 78 patients who underwent HSCT with RIC consisting of 3.2 mg/kg/day of busulfan for 2 or 3 days and 30 mg/m²/day of fludarabine for 5 or 6 days were analyzed. RESULTS The median age at diagnosis was 49 years. Over a median follow-up of 22 months, 2-year estimates of relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival were 57.4% and 68.7%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed a trend of improved RFS in patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (hazard ratio, 0.53; 95% confidence interval, 0.26-1.08; p=0.080). The cumulative incidences of relapse and non-relapse mortality were 42.9% and 19.6%, respectively and one case of central nervous system relapse was noted. No hepatic veno-occlusive disease was reported. Grade II-IV acute GVHD and any grade chronic GVHD occurred in 21.1% and 41.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION RIC with busulfan and fludarabine is an effective and safe conditioning regimen for adult ALL patients unfit for myeloablation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with relapsed or refractory mantle-cell lymphoma who have disease progression during or after the receipt of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor therapy have a poor prognosis. KTE-X19, an anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, may have benefit in patients with relapsed or refractory mantle-cell lymphoma. METHODS In a multicenter, phase 2 trial, we evaluated KTE-X19 in patients with relapsed or refractory mantle-cell lymphoma. Patients had disease that had relapsed or was refractory after the receipt of up to five previous therapies; all patients had to have received BTK inhibitor therapy previously. Patients underwent leukapheresis and optional bridging therapy, followed by conditioning chemotherapy and a single infusion of KTE-X19 at a dose of 2×106 CAR T cells per kilogram of body weight. The primary end point was the percentage of patients with an objective response (complete or partial response) as assessed by an independent radiologic review committee according to the Lugano classification. Per the protocol, the primary efficacy analysis was to be conducted after 60 patients had been treated and followed for 7 months. RESULTS A total of 74 patients were enrolled. KTE-X19 was manufactured for 71 patients and administered to 68. The primary efficacy analysis showed that 93% (95% confidence interval [CI], 84 to 98) of the 60 patients in the primary efficacy analysis had an objective response; 67% (95% CI, 53 to 78) had a complete response. In an intention-to-treat analysis involving all 74 patients, 85% had an objective response; 59% had a complete response. At a median follow-up of 12.3 months (range, 7.0 to 32.3), 57% of the 60 patients in the primary efficacy analysis were in remission. At 12 months, the estimated progression-free survival and overall survival were 61% and 83%, respectively. Common adverse events of grade 3 or higher were cytopenias (in 94% of the patients) and infections (in 32%). Grade 3 or higher cytokine release syndrome and neurologic events occurred in 15% and 31% of patients, respectively; none were fatal. Two grade 5 infectious adverse events occurred. CONCLUSIONS KTE-X19 induced durable remissions in a majority of patients with relapsed or refractory mantle-cell lymphoma. The therapy led to serious and life-threatening toxic effects that were consistent with those reported with other CAR T-cell therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the outcome of stem cell transplantation (SCT), including overall survival (OS), failure-free survival (FFS) and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD)-free/failure-free survival (GFFS), and to analyze prognostic factors in children with aplastic anemia (AA). METHODS From 1991 to 2018, 43 allogeneic SCT recipients were enrolled in the study to investigate the demographic characteristics, survival outcomes and prognostic factors. RESULTS With the median follow-up of 7.1 years, the estimated 10-year OS, FFS, GFFS were 86.0%, 60.5%, and 51.2%, respectively. Matched related donors (MRD, n = 28) showed better 10-year OS than unrelated donors (n = 15) (96.4% vs. 66.7%; P = 0.006). Engraftment failure was seen in 13 patients (30.2%). Donor-type aplasia was seen in 13.8% (4/29) after fludarabine (Flu)-based conditioning (Flu-group), while in 42.6% (6/14) after cyclophosphamide (Cy)-based regimen (Cy-group) (P = 0.035). Six patients died. The 10-year OS in Cy-group was 92.9% (n = 14, all MRD), while that of Flu-group was 82.1% (n = 29; P = 0.367). But Flu-group tended to have better FFS and GFFS than Cy-group, although Flu-group had less MRDs (41.4% vs. 100%; P = 0.019), and higher proportion of previous immunosuppressive treatment (IST; 62% vs. 21.4%, P = 0.012). In MRD transplants, OS was similar between Flu-group (100%, n = 14) and Cy-group (92.9%, n = 14), while FFS (100.0% vs. 42.9%; P = 0.001) and GFFS (85.7% vs. 35.7%; P = 0.006) were significantly better in Flu-group. Stem cell sources, irradiation in the conditioning, and method of GvHD prophylaxis did not significantly influence the outcome. CONCLUSION This study reviewed SCT outcomes for pediatric AA with changes of transplant strategies over the last 25 years. The FFS and GFFS were higher in Flu-group than in Cy-group, especially in matched related transplantation. Graft failure including donor-type aplasia remains troublesome even with Flu-based conditioning. Further refinement of transplant strategies to ensure better quality-of-life should be pursued.

Abstract
This retrospective single-center analysis studied the impact of the conditioning and the graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis on outcome in unselected patients allografted for chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) secondary to documented prior CMML. A total of 44 patients (median age 61 years) allografted between 2002 and 2019 in our institution were analyzed. Fifteen patients had secondary AML. The conditioning regimen was fractionated 6-8 Gy total body irradiation (TBI) in combination with fludarabine in 33 (75%) patients. Eleven patients (25%) received alkylator-based conditioning therapy without TBI. For GVHD prophylaxis, a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) backbone in combination with methotrexate (MTX) or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was applied in 21 and 23 patients, respectively. All patients allografted from an unrelated donor (UD) received antithymocyte globuline. In univariate analysis of the entire cohort, TBI-based conditioning and MMF-containing immunosuppression were associated with improved leukemia-free survival (LFS, HR 0.16, P < 0.001 and HR 0.41, P = 0.030, respectively). After stratification according to conditioning and GVHD prophylaxis into four groups (TBI-MMF [n = 17], TBI-MTX [n = 16], alkylator-MMF [n = 6], alkylator-MTX [n = 5]), TBI-MMF was associated with improved overall survival (OS) and LFS (P = 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). Patient and disease characteristics did not differ between the groups. The associations of TBI-based conditioning and MMF with prolonged LFS were observed across the CMML (n = 29), secondary AML (n = 15), and UD allograft (n = 34) subgroups. In summary, our study suggests that allografting based on intermediate-dose TBI conditioning and MMF-containing GVHD prophylaxis is associated with increased disease control in CMML. Larger (registry-based) studies are warranted to confirm our findings.

Abstract
This is a multicenter retrospective comparison of 2 myeloablative conditioning regimens in 454 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in remission: busulfan (4 days) and fludarabine (BUFLU) versus thiotepa, busulfan, and fludarabine (TBF). Eligible for this study were patients allografted between January 2008 and December 2018 in 10 transplant centers, with AML in first or second remission: 201 patients received BUFLU, whereas 253 received TBF. The 2 groups (BUFLU and TBF) were comparable for age (P = .13) and adverse AML risk factors (P = .3). The TBF group had more second remissions and more haploidentical grafts. The donor type included HLA-identical siblings, unrelated donors, and family haploidentical donors. The 5-year cumulative incidence of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was 19% for BUFLU and 22% for TBF (P = .8), and the 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 30% and 15%, respectively (P = .0004). The 5-year actuarial survival was 51% for BUFLU and 68% for TBF (P = .002). In a multivariate Cox analysis, after correcting for confounding factors, the use of TBF reduced the risk of relapse compared with BUFLU (P = .03) and the risk of death (P = .03). In a matched pair analysis of 108 BUFLU patients matched with 108 TBF patients, with the exclusion of haploidentical grafts, TBF reduced the risk of relapse (P = .006) and there was a trend for improved survival (P = .07). Superior survival of patients receiving TBF as compared with BUFLU is due to a reduced risk of relapse, with comparable NRM. The survival advantage is independent of donor type and AML risk factors.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is a primary treatment for various inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs). Achieving stable and sustained engraftment while minimizing transplantation-related morbidity and mortality is critical to optimizing outcomes for IMDs. Traditional regimens have used myeloablative approaches, primarily busulfan and cyclophosphamide (BuCy), which is associated with significant regimen-related toxicity. Alternatively, reduced-toxicity regimens, such as busulfan and fludarabine (BuFlu), have been proposed to offer similar efficacy with reduced toxicities. We compared transplantation-related outcomes with BuCy-based and BuFlu-based conditioning in patients with IMDs. We retrospectively analyzed the University of Minnesota's transplantation database for patients with IMDs who underwent HCT using a BuCy (with alemtuzumab) or BuFlu (with antithymocyte globulin) preparative regimen between March 2008 and September 2017. Overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), and incidence of neutrophil and platelet recovery were determined using standard definitions. Complications such as graft failure, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, hemorrhagic cystitis, and respiratory failure were compared. Graft failure includes primary and secondary aplastic graft failure with and without autologous recovery. The incidence of viral infections post-transplantation in the 2 regimens was also determined. A total of 99 patients underwent HCT for IMDs during the study period. Sixty-four patients received BuCy conditioning, and the other 35 received BuFlu. Hurler syndrome (46%) and adrenoleukodystrophy (43%) were the most common IMDs, and umbilical cord blood was the most common graft source (74%). One-year OS was similar in the 2 groups (81.2% in BuCy versus 85.5% in BuFlu; P = .8), with an EFS of 75% versus 63%, respectively. The 2 groups also had similar incidences of grade III-IV acute GVHD (9% versus 6%; P = .5) and chronic GVHD (9% versus 7%; P = .67). Neutrophil and platelet recovery were similar in the 2 groups, with a significantly shorter duration of hospital stay noted in the BuFlu cohort (median, 21 days versus 34 days; P = .002). The cumulative incidence of graft failure was significantly higher in the BuFlu group (29% versus 14%; P = .08), as was the rate of second HCT (27% versus 3%; P = .001). The incidences of adenoviral infection (14% versus 0%; P = .02) and hemorrhagic cystitis (23% versus 3%; P = .01) were higher in the BuCy group. T cell engraftment occurred significantly sooner with BuCy conditioning until 1-year post-transplantation, but donor myeloid engraftment was similar in the 2 groups. Our data indicate that reduced-toxicity conditioning is associated with lower rates of infection and other transplantation-related complications but is concerning for a higher rate of graft failure in patients with IMDs. Alternate immunosuppressive agents and novel techniques should be considered to minimize toxicities and reduce complications.

Abstract
Outcomes for patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) that proves refractory to treatment remain poor. Treatment of such patients is individualized and can include enrolment in a clinical trial of novel agents or use of one of a wide array of drug regimens. Initial treatment with anthracyclines such as doxorubicin limits options at later stages of treatment because of anthracycline-related cumulative cardiotoxicity. The aza-anthracenedione pixantrone was developed to reduce the likelihood of cardiotoxicity without compromising efficacy and is currently conditionally approved for use as monotherapy in patients with multiply-relapsed or refractory aggressive B cell NHL. The use of pixantrone in combination therapy, often to replace doxorubicin or mitoxantrone, has or is currently being investigated in numerous studies in patients with aggressive or indolent NHL and is the focus of this review. These include the R-CPOP regimen (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, pixantrone, vincristine, prednisone) for aggressive NHL in the first-line setting, including a study in elderly patients with limited cardiac function, and for patients with relapsed NHL with prior anthracycline exposure; the PSHAP regimen (pixantrone, cytarabine, prednisone, cisplatin), also in the latter setting; the PREBen/PEBen regimen (pixantrone, bendamustine and etoposide with or without rituximab) as salvage therapy; and pixantrone in combination with fludarabine, dexamethasone, and rituximab (FPD-R) for relapsed indolent NHL.

Abstract
Haplo-identical transplant with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (haplo) and umbilical cord blood transplant supported by third-party CD34 cells (haplo-cord) are competing approaches to alternative donor transplant. We compared, in adults younger than age 60 years, the outcomes of 170 haplo at 1 institution with that of 137 haplo-cord at 2 other institutions. All received reduced intensity conditioning with fludarabine and melphalan ± total body irradiation. GVHD prophylaxis for haplo consisted of cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate, whereas haplo-cord received antithymocyte globulin, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate. Haplo transplant used mostly bone marrow, and peripheral blood stem cells were used in haplo-cord transplants. Haplo-cord were older and had more advanced disease. Haplo-cord hastened median time to neutrophil (11 vs 18 days, P = .001) and platelet recovery (22 vs 25 days, P = .03). At 4 years, overall survival (OS) was 50% for haplo-cord vs 49% for haplo. Progression-free survival (PFS) was 40% for haplo-cord vs 45% for haplo. In multivariate analysis, the disease risk index was significant for OS (hazard ratio, 1.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.48-2.17; P = .00) and PFS. Total body irradiation was associated with decreased recurrence and improved PFS, age >40 with increased nonrelapse mortality. The type of transplant had no effect on OS, PFS, relapse, or nonrelapse mortality. Cumulative incidence of grade 2-4 acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) by day 100 was 16% after haplo-cord vs 33% after haplo (P < .0001), but grade 3-4 GVHD was similar. Chronic GVHD at 1 year was 4% after haplo-cord vs 16% after haplo (P < .0001). Haplo or haplo-cord results in similar and encouraging outcomes. Haplo-cord is associated with more rapid neutrophil and platelet recovery and lower acute and chronic GVHD. Institutional review board authorization for this retrospective study was obtained at each institution. Some patients participated in trials registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01810588 and NCT01050946.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although chylothorax is rare in patients with malignant lymphoma, it has been reported in cases with mediastinal lymphadenopathy, a bulky retroperitoneal mass, or thoracic ducts blocked by lymphocytes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The clinical picture is not specific. Patients become more immunocompromised and malnourished after repeated evacuations. Chylothorax is usually diagnosed when the triglyceride level is > 1.24 mmol/l and the cholesterol level is < 5.18 mmol/ l in the effusion. Chemotherapy or radiotherapy of the associated malignant tumors has been used as the first-line treatment of malignant chylothorax. The responses of chylothorax after 3-8 chemotherapy courses have been described. A few cases of indolent lymphoma associated with chylothorax that were treated with fludarabine-based chemotherapies with various outcomes have been published. Total parenteral nutrition or a low-fat diet combined with ingestion of medium-chain triglycerides can accelerate remission of chylothorax. OBSERVATION This study presents two cases with chylothorax associated with a bulky abdominal mass in relapsed CLL and newly diagnosed follicular lymphoma, respectively. No further evacuations were required after one and three courses of fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide with/without rituximab in the patients with CLL and follicular lymphoma, respectively. Chylothorax disappeared after five courses, and a partial or complete response of malignant lymphoma was achieved. The response lasted for 30 months in the patient with CLL and has persisted throughout maintenance therapy with rituximab in the patient with follicular lymphoma. CONCLUSION Limited experience indicates that fludarabine-based regimes can result in rapid regression of chylothorax, in addition to treating indolent lymphoma, which prevents patients becoming more malnourished and immunocompromised. Key words: lymphoma - fludarabine - chylothorax The authors declare they have no potential confl icts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study. The Editorial Board declares that the manuscript met the ICMJE recommendation for biomedical papers. Submitted: 2. 2. 2018 Accepted: 20. 5. 2018.

Abstract
The treatment landscape of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has changed dramatically in the last few years. The role of chemoimmunotherapy has declined significantly for patients with CLL. Fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, rituximab chemotherapy remains the standard frontline therapy for young fit patients with CLL, especially if IGHV mutated. For older adults, ibrutinib has been shown to be superior to chlorambucil. Hence, the role of chlorambucil monotherapy in the current era in the management of CLL is limited. The combination of chlorambucil and obinutuzumab is an alternative option for patients with comorbidities. For patients with del(17p), ibrutinib has become the standard treatment in the frontline setting. Several phase 3 trials with novel targeted agents, either as monotherapy or in combination, are either ongoing or have completed accrual. The results of many of these trials are expected in the next 1 to 2 years, and they will further help refine the frontline treatment strategy.

Abstract
Nonmyeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) can provide prolonged remissions in patients with advanced B cell lymphoma (B-NHL) via the graft-versus-lymphoma effect, although inferior results are seen in patients with chemoresistant, bulky, or aggressive disease. Radioimmunotherapy can safely induce responses in B-NHL with minimal nonhematologic toxicity. Initial results of 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan-based allografting demonstrated early safety and disease control in nonremission patients but with short follow-up. Here we report the long-term outcomes of patients treated on this study with specific emphasis on patients achieving early remissions. Eleven of 40 patients were alive at a median follow-up of 9 years (range, 5.3 to 10.2). Fourteen (35%) deaths were due to disease progression and 14 (35%) deaths to complications from HCT. One patient died of a Merkel cell carcinoma. The 5-year overall and progression-free survival for patients with indolent B-NHL was 40% and 27.5%, respectively. None of the patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma was a long-term disease-free survivor regardless of early remission status. 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan-based allografting represents a viable option in patients with indolent histologies. Improved strategies are needed for aggressive B-NHL. The original trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00119392.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in the elderly is complex and has a poor prognosis, often characterized by higher risk cytogenetic and molecular features compared to that in younger patients. Rates of transplant have been limited by concern related to non-relapse mortality, as older patients have historically been considered medically unfit for the transplantation process. Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been shown to provide similar efficacy to myeloablative methods, with decreased non-relapse mortality in the elderly and improved efficacy over non-transplant approaches with cytotoxic chemotherapy alone. Targeted non-cytotoxic and modified cytotoxic agents have emerged to further improve transplant outcomes for older AML patients. Validated comorbidity indices are useful tools to assess an individual's fitness for undergoing HSCT rather than chronological age alone. We believe HSCT is the primary curative treatment approach for many older AML patients, taking into account risk and comorbidities, particularly given the tendency of leukemia in this population to harbor an unfavorable disease profile. We use RIC and advocate for the addition of targeted agents if applicable. With continuing data in support of transplant for older AML patients, we anticipate that transplant rates in this population will continue to rise.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with myeloablative conditioning for disorders associated with excessive inflammation such as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is associated with early mortality. A multicenter prospective phase 2 trial of reduced-intensity conditioning with melphalan, fludarabine, and intermediate-timing alemtuzumab was conducted for HLA matched or single HLA locus mismatched related or unrelated donor HCT in a largely pediatric cohort. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis was cyclosporine with methylprednisolone. The primary end point was 1-year overall survival (OS). Thirty-four patients with HLH and 12 with other primary immune deficiencies were transplanted. With a median follow-up of 20 months, the 1-year OS for transplanted patients was 80.4% (90% confidence interval [CI], 68.6%-88.2%). Five additional deaths by 16 months yielded an 18-month OS probability of 66.7% (90% CI, 52.9%-77.3%). Two patients experienced primary graft failure, and 18 patients either experienced a secondary graft failure or required a second intervention (mostly donor lymphocyte infusion [DLI]). At 1 year, the proportion of patients alive with sustained engraftment without DLI or second HCT was 39.1% (95% CI, 25.2%-54.6%), and that of being alive and engrafted (with or without DLI) was 60.9% (95% CI, 45.4 %-74.9%). The day 100 incidence of grade II to IV acute GVHD was 17.4% (95% CI, 8.1%-29.7%), and 1-year incidence of chronic GVHD was 26.7% (95% CI, 14.6%-40.4%). Although the trial demonstrated low early mortality, the majority of surviving patients required DLI or second HCT. These results demonstrate a need for future approaches that maintain low early mortality with improved sustained engraftment. The trial was registered at Clinical Trials.gov (NCT 01998633).

Patients were treated with regimens based on the following drugs: cytarabine, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and fludarabine (FLAG) (n = 46); cytarabine and G-CSF in addition to aclarubicin or daunorubicin (CAG/DAG) (n = 30); cytarabine, G-CSF, and cladribine (CLAG) (n = 27); cytarabine, etoposide, and mitoxantrone (MEA) (n = 17); cytarabine plus idarubicin, daunorubicin, or mitoxantrone (IA/DA/MA) (n = 12); and homoharringtonine, cytarabine, and aclarubicin or daunorubicin (HAA/HAD) (n = 10).A total of 43 (35.2%) patients achieved complete remission (CR), 60 (49.2%) patients achieved overall remission rate (ORR), and 18 (14.8%) patients received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) after CR. Median OS was 8.0 (95% CI 6.6-9.4) months with a 1-year OS rate of (29.9 ± 3.9)% and 3-year OS rate of (11.1 ± 3.6)%. No difference of CR (P = .621), ORR (P = .385), and allo-HSCT (P = .537) achievement was observed among different chemotherapy regimens. Interestingly, we observed that the CLAG-based regimen did not affect CR (P = .165), while it achieved a numerically higher ORR (P = .093) and was an independent factor for prolonged OS (P = .016). No other regimens were determined to be correlated with CR, ORR, or OS.FLAG-, CAG/DAG-, CLAG-, MEA-, IA/DA/MA- and HAA/HAD-based regimens were found to achieve similar CR rates, while the CLAG-based regimen achieved numerically higher ORR rates and significant favorable OS. Therefore, CLAG-based regimens should be a prioritized treatment option for R/R AML patients.

Abstract
Busulfan/fludarabine (BuFlu) is a widely used conditioning regimen for patients with myeloid malignancies. The sequential FLAMSA (fludarabine + Ara-C + amsacrine chemotherapy) protocol followed by either cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation (FLAMSA-TBI) or cyclophosphamide and busulfan (FLAMSA-Bu) has shown remarkable activity in high-risk acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients. Here we compare the outcomes of AML patients transplanted in first complete remission (CR1) or second complete remission (CR2) after conditioning with BuFlu or FLAMSA. Eligible patients had their first allogeneic stem cell transplantation for AML in CR1 or CR2 between January 2005 and June 2016. Donors were matched related or unrelated with up to 1 mismatch. Conditioning consisted of either BuFlu or FLAMSA. Propensity score matching was applied and comparisons were performed using weighted Cox regression. BuFlu conditioning was used in 1197 patients, whereas FLAMSA-TBI and FLAMSA-Bu were used in 258 and 141 patients, respectively. Median follow-up of survivors was 24.72 months. In univariate analysis, relapse incidence (RI) was 30.3%, 21.9%, and 23.1% in the BuFlu, FLAMSA-TBI, and FLAMSA-Bu groups, respectively (P < .01), and nonrelapse mortality at 2 years was 16.1%, 16.4%, and 26.7%, respectively (P < .01). Leukemia-free survival (LFS) at 2 years was 53.6%, 61.6%, and 50.1%, respectively (P = .03). Weighted Cox regression revealed that FLAMSA-TBI compared with BuFlu was associated with lower RI (hazard ratio [HR], .64; 95% confidence interval [CI], .42 to .98; P = .04) and a trend for better LFS (HR, .72; 95% CI, .49 to 1.06; P = .09). These results suggest that compared with BuFlu, conditioning with FLAMSA-TBI leads to reduced RI at 2 years in AML patients transplanted in CR1 or CR2.

Abstract
Aims The study was carried out to investigate the efficacy and toxicity of fludarabine phosphate in the treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) in previously treated patients. Methods Sixteen patients, 11 males and 5 females, 9 in stage B and 7 in stage C, according to the Binet Staging System, were treated with a maximum of 6 cycles of fludarabine (25 mg/m2) for 5 days, every 4 weeks. All patients had been pretreated, 10 were refractory to standard regimens, 5 were in relapse, and 1 patient was in partial remission. Results Thirteen patients were judged suitable for evaluation. Overall 9 patients were responsive to treatment; 4 complete and 5 partial responses were observed. Of the 4 patients in complete remission, 3 were alive at 6, 10 and 13 months, respectively, from the beginning of treatment. One patient died after 11 months for acute graft-versus-host disease after allogenic bone marrow transplantation by an HLA sibling donor. Two of the 5 patients in partial remission were alive at 7 and 17 months, respectively, and the other 3 died (2 of disease reexpansion after 14 and 16 months and 1 of septic shock following pneumonia). Four patients were not responsive to treatment: 1 died from disease progression after 8 months from the beginning of therapy, 1 from cardiac failure after 9 months, 1 from septic shock following meningitis, and 1 was alive after 7 months of follow-up. Treatment was well tolerated, with nausea and vomiting in only one patient. We observed two episodes of pneumonitis, without any evidence of the responsible agent, a tumor lysis syndrome with acute renal failure, a recurrence of autoimmune thrombocytopenia, and a Coombs-positive hemolytic anemia. Conclusions Fludarabine phosphate is effective in the treatment of patients with advanced B-CLL, even in those refractory to multiple chemotherapy regimens.

Abstract
The "Minnesota" reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) cord blood transplantation (CBT) regimen (standard RIC) of fludarabine (Flu) (200 mg/m2), cyclophosphamide (Cy) (50 mg/kg), and 200- or 300-cGy total body irradiation (TBI) is the most published RIC CBT regimen. Though well tolerated, high relapse rates remain a concern with this regimen. Intensification of conditioning may reduce relapse without increasing transplant-related mortality (TRM). We performed a retrospective cohort comparison of outcomes in adult patients who underwent first double-unit CBT with standard RIC as compared with the intensified regimen of Flu 150 mg/m2, Cy 50 mg/kg, thiotepa 10 mg/kg, and 400-cGy TBI (intensified RIC). Of the 99 patients studied, 47 received intensified RIC. Acute myelogenous leukemia was the major indication for transplant. The median age at transplant was 67 years (range, 24 to 74 years) and 54 years (range, 25 to 67 years) in standard RIC and intensified RIC, respectively. Median hematopoietic stem cell transplantation comorbidity index was 3 (range, 0 to 5) and 1 (range, 0 to 6) in the standard RIC and intensified RIC groups, respectively. Median follow-up among survivors was 22 months (range, 3.7 to 79 months) following standard RIC and 15 months (range, 2.8 to 36 months) following intensified RIC. The cumulative incidence (CI) of relapse was significantly lower following intensified RIC compared with standard RIC (P = .0013); this finding maintained significance in multivariate analysis (P = .045). TRM was comparable between the 2 groups (P = .99). Overall survival (OS) was significantly improved following intensified RIC as compared with standard RIC (P = .03). Median OS was 17 months following standard RIC versus not reached followed intensified RIC. The CI of grade II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was significantly higher in the intensified RIC cohort than the standard RIC-cohort (P = .007), while CI of grade III to IV acute GVHD, any chronic GVHD, and moderate-to-severe chronic GVHD was comparable in each cohort (P = .20, P = .21, and P = .61, respectively). This retrospective analysis shows an improvement in OS and decreased relapse without increase in TRM in patients receiving intensified RIC as compared with standard RIC. Our data suggest that consideration of thiotepa-based intensified RIC may improve outcomes in fit, older patients undergoing double-unit CBT.

Abstract
Up to two thirds of all patients affected by advanced Hodgkin's disease will be cured by chemotherapy alone or by combined chemoradiation modalities. High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue may be potentially curative for patients progressing under frontline chemotherapy or developing early relapse of disease. In spite of this, an unacceptably high percentage of these highrisk patients will relapse after salvage treatments and die of their disease. Fludarabine phosphate is an adenosine nucleoside analog highly active in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. There are only few data in the literature concerning its use in the management of Hodgkin's disease. We report the case of an elderly, heavily pretreated Hodgkin's disease patient in progression under third-line chemotherapy who experienced good palliation of her B symptoms and a major clinical response of her refractory bone lesions with the administration of fludarabine as monotherapy. The treatment was well tolerated, without grade 4 hematological toxicity or opportunistic infections. The duration of clinical remission and systemic symptom palliation was 9 and 11 months, respectively. Further evaluation of fludarabine phosphate as salvage therapy in relapsed/refractory elderly Hodgkin's disease patients is needed.

Abstract
The typical genome of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) carries ∼2000 molecular lesions. Few mutations recur across patients at a frequency >5%, whereas a large number of biologically and clinically uncharacterized genes are mutated at lower frequency. Approximately 80% of CLL patients carry at least 1 of 4 common chromosomal alterations, namely deletion 13q14, deletion 11q22-23, deletion 17p12, and trisomy 12. Knowledge of the CLL genome has translated into the availability of molecular biomarkers for prognosis and treatment prediction. Prognostic biomarkers do not affect treatment choice, and can be integrated into prognostic scores that are based on both clinical and biological variables. Molecular predictive biomarkers affect treatment choice, and currently include TP53 disruption by mutation and/or deletion and IGHV mutation status. TP53 disruption by gene mutation and/or deletion associates with chemoimmunotherapy failure and mandates treatment with innovative drugs, including ibrutinib, idelalisib, or venetoclax. The mutation status of IGHV genes represents a predictive biomarker for identifying patients that may benefit the most from chemoimmunotherapy with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab. Assessment of these biomarkers at the time of treatment requirement is recommended by most current guidelines for CLL management. Other molecular predictors are under investigation, but their application in clinical practice is premature.

Abstract
RATIONALE The deep-rooted pathogenesis of the human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is still uncertain and argumentative. As we know, a lot of cases of esophageal infections, such as esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal squamous papilloma (ESP), associated with HPV are reported. However, primary esophageal ulcer infection associated with HPV is unusual. PATIENT CONCERNS This case is different from the other reports associated with HPV due to the patient's favorable prognosis. DIAGNOSES We present a case of a man diagnosed in the Gastroenterology Department of Tianjin Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, which presented a deep and big esophageal ulcer with irregular borders caused by type 16 HPV infection. INTERVENTIONS The esophageal ulcer was treated with vidarabine monophosphate treatment. OUTCOME The esophageal ulcer was cured. LESSONS We could put forward the diagnostic criteria available for diagnostic guidelines and 2 hypotheses that could possibly prevent esophageal carcinoma from happening.
