Cerebrospinal fluid flow cytometry and risk of central nervous system relapse after hyperCVAD in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Kelsey-Leigh A. Garcia et al.

Summary: Multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is more effective than conventional cytospin (CC) in identifying adults at high risk for CNS relapse after treatment with hyperCVAD. However, surveillance of CSF by MFC has limited utility, as no CSF- patients became CSF+ during initial treatment despite multiple tests.

High-sensitivity next-generation sequencing MRD assessment in ALL identifies patients at very low risk of relapse

Nicholas J. Short et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical impact of a highly sensitive next-generation sequencing (NGS) MRD assay in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients. The study found that NGS detection could identify patients with a significant risk of relapse, even if they were considered MRD negative by multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC). Early assessment of MRD using NGS provides important prognostic information for predicting relapse risk and long-term survival in ALL patients.

Measurable residual disease in acute lymphoblastic leukemia: methods and clinical context in adult patients

Caner Saygin et al.

Summary: Measurable residual disease (MRD) is a strong predictor of relapse risk and survival in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Various methods, including next-generation sequencing, can evaluate MRD levels. Immunotherapy approaches have shown efficacy in eradicating MRD in B-ALL, but T-ALL remains a challenge. As MRD detection and novel therapeutics advance, MRD will play an increasingly important role in ALL therapy.

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Version 2.2021

Patrick A. Brown et al.

Summary: The NCCN Guidelines for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) focus on classification, risk assessment, treatment strategies, and supportive care for ALL patients. Treatment at a specialized cancer center with expertise in ALL management is recommended. The guidelines specifically address the management of Ph-positive and Ph-negative ALL in adolescents and young adults, as well as in relapsed settings.

KTE-X19 for relapsed or refractory adult B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: phase 2 results of the single-arm, open-label, multicentre ZUMA-3 study

Bijal D. Shah et al.

Summary: KTE-X19 demonstrated a high rate of complete remission or complete remission with incomplete haematological recovery in adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Median overall survival was not reached in responding patients, and the therapy showed a manageable safety profile. These findings suggest that KTE-X19 has the potential to provide long-term clinical benefit to these patients.

Optimizing the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in younger and older adults: new drugs and evolving paradigms

Nicholas J. Short et al.

Summary: Over the past decade, there has been rapid expansion in treatments for ALL, leading to improved outcomes for patients through the use of highly effective drugs. Important questions are arising regarding the optimal combination and sequence of these agents, their incorporation into frontline regimens, and the role of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Concordance of peripheral blood and bone marrow measurable residual disease in adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Lori Muffly et al.

Summary: Monitoring measurable residual disease (MRD) in peripheral blood (PB) shows a strong correlation with bone marrow (BM) MRD in adult ALL patients undergoing cellular therapies. Detection of MRD in PB was highly sensitive and specific, with early detection associated with relapse following HCT and CAR T therapies. This suggests that PB MRD monitoring may be a reliable alternative to frequent BM evaluations in this clinical setting.
