ABL Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) Are Associated with Increased Rho-Associated Kinase (ROCK) Activity That May Contribute to Vascular Toxicity in Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)
ConclusionsWe found that patients on 2nd and 3rd generation TKIs have higher leukocyte ROCK activity compared to those not receiving TKIs, and higher leukocyte ROCK activity in patients on Dasatinib compared with patients receiving Imatinib. These results are consistent with the known lower-risk of cardiovascular side-effects observed with Imatinib in comparison to the next generation ABL TKIs. Limitations include small sample size and heterogeneity in the patient population in terms of age, cardiovascular risk factors, specific TKI used, and total duration and sequencing of TKI agents. The study continues to accrue CML su...

Overall Survival and Response Rates after a 10-Year Follow-up of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patients in Chronic Phase Treated with Imatinib in a Real-Life Practice
Conclusions. A 10-year real-life follow-up of CML patients demonstrates that imatinib maintains efficacy over time and is associated with a low rate of CV events and second neoplasias.DisclosuresRizzo: Sapienza University, Rome: Other: Resident in Hematology.

Safety and Efficacy of Venetoclax (VEN) in Combination with Bendamustine (B) Plus Rituximab (R) or Obinutuzumab (G) in Patients (pts) with Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL): Results from a Phase Ib Study (GO28440)
ConclusionVEN 400mg daily combined with BR or BG in 1L CLL treatment was associated with toxicity leading to treatment interruptions and discontinuations; the most frequently reported toxicities were hematologic. However, despite dose modifications, all pts responded to treatment, independently of subgroups. 50% of pts achieved a CR/CRi; higher than previously reported with BG or BR alone (Brown et al. Blood 2015; Michallet et al. Haematologica 2018). Responses were durable and preliminary PFS data are encouraging. Response rates were similar, irrespective of whether pts received planned 6 or fewer cycles of B; the optimal...

Outcome of Patients with Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Treated with Ibrutinib within a Named Patient Program (NPP) in Italy. a Real-Life Retrospective Study
Conclusions. The results of this real-life study show that in unselected patients with R/R CLL the clinical activity of ibrutinib was comparable to that reported in CTs. However, a third of patients discontinued ibrutinib within 24 months from the start of treatment. An earlier introduction of ibrutinib in the treatment approach of R/R patients, a careful surveillance and management of toxicities will optimise the clinical benefits of ibrutinib in CLL patients treated in the clinical practice.DisclosuresMauro: Abbvie: Membership on an entity's Board of Directors or advisory committees, Speakers Bureau; Shire: Membership on...

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplantation for Patients with Richter's Syndrome:the SFGM-TC Experience
Conclusion. Our study suggests that allo-HCT is a strategy achieving prolonged survival but should be performed in young patients to limit the risk of NRM. The favorable impact of GVHd suggests an anti-RS allogenic effect.DisclosuresGuieze: abbvie: Honoraria; janssen: Honoraria; gilead: Honoraria.

Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms: A Single Institution Retrospective Study
Discussion: Our limited data suggests that use of DOACs in patients with MPN is feasible with an acceptable balance between risk of hemorrhage and recurrent thrombosis. Additional data on long term outcomes of DOACs in MPNs are needed.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Current status of drug repositioning in hematology
Expert Rev Hematol. 2021 Oct 16. doi: 10.1080/17474086.2021.1995348. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Drug repositioning (DR) is defined as determining new therapeutic applications for existing drugs. This approach is advantageous over de novo drug discovery in accelerating clinical development, in terms of lower costs, a shortened development period, a well-known action mechanism, a feasible dosage, and an acceptable safety profile.AREAS COVERED: This work was aimed at reviewing agents with successful DR in hematology.EXPERT OPINION: Thalidomide and plerixafor have been successfully repositioned for treating mu...
