The efficacy and safety of Batroxobin in combination with anticoagulation on cerebral venous sinus thrombosis
This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Batroxobin in combination with anticoagulation on CVST control. In this retrospective study, a total of 61 CVST patients were enrolled and divided into Batroxobin (n  = 23) and control (n = 38) groups. In addition to the same standard anticoagulation in control, patients in the treatment group received Batroxobin 5 BU intravenous infusion (10 BU for the first time) every other day, for a total of three infusions. A higher recanalization rate was found in Batroxobin group (adjusted OR [95% CI] of 2.5 [1.1–5.0],p = 0.028) compared to the control group, es...

Risk Factors and Manageability of the Mainly Mild Mucocutaneous Bleeding Profile Observed in Attp Patients Treated with Caplacizumab during the Phase III Hercules Study
Conclusions: The safety profile of caplacizumab was favorable. In line with its pharmacology, treatment with caplacizumab was associated with an increased risk of mucocutaneous bleeding. These events were generally mild to moderate, and the majority did not require therapeutic intervention. While the number of patients receiving DOACs was low, no increased risk for bleeding with antithrombotic therapy was observed.DisclosuresCataland: Alexion: Research Funding; Shire: Consultancy; Ablynx: Consultancy, Other: Member of Advisory Board.

Replacing PT-INR Monitoring of Warfarin with Fiix-NR in Clinical Practice Reduces Thromboembolism without Increasing Bleeding Despite Reduced Number of Dose Adjustments
Conclusions: These results are in agreement with the results of the Fiix-trial and show that ignoring factor VII during VKA monitoring is safe and leads to reduction in thromboembolism without increasing bleeding. Although TTR was identical in both groups, the dose adjustment need was reduced possibly indicating that less anticoagulation variability in the Fiix-NR group explains reduced thromboembolism.FigureDisclosuresGudmundsdottir: Hart Biologicals Ltd: Consultancy, Patents & Royalties: Hart Biologicals Ltd is commercializing the Fiix-PT which will be ready for marketing in Europe in the beginning of year 2019 and p...

Acute Neurotoxicity during ALL Therapy Is Associated with Treatment Intensity, Age and Female Sex - an Analysis of SAE Reports from the UKALL 2003 Trial
Discussion:This large study identifies treatment intensity as the main risk factor for developing acute neurotoxicity with female sex, age and CNS status having a significant modifying effect. CNS status may reflect increased intrathecal therapy given to non-CNS-1 patients. Females are more vulnerable to cranial radiotherapy induced neurotoxicity but this is the first report of female sex as a risk factor on contemporary chemotherapy treatment protocols. Reassuringly, the occurrence of acute neurotoxicity did not influence survival rates. These data provide an important benchmark for ongoing international deep phenotyping ...

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...

Validation of Sickle Cell Disease Severity Score in a Cohort of Hemoglobin SC Disease Patients
Conclusion: Despite having been derived from a SCD population that was 26% HbSC, the study was unable to validate the SSS within the cohort of HbSC patients. This may reflect the differences in patient population and/or therapeutic intervention between this cohort and the CSSCD cohort used in the construction of the SSS calculator. While SSS was found to correlate with 3 discrete markers of disease morbidity (TRJV, CVA, creatinine clearance), it appears that a new scoring system is required to accurately predict clinical mortality and morbidity in contemporary cohorts of adult HbSC disease patients.DisclosuresNo relevant c...

Bleeding Related Episodes, Thrombotic Events and Platelet Counts Among Immune Thrombocytopenia Patients Receiving Second Line Therapy
CONCLUSIONS: This retrospective real world evidence study compares mean platelet response and burden of both BREs and TEs in ITP patients treated with different second-line treatments. Although there were significant differences in mean platelet counts achieved with the second-line treatments, TEs were observed with similar incidence across all treatments. Patients who received splenectomy had the highest mean platelet counts and also the highest proportion of patients who experienced TEs, though differences in TEs did not reach statistical significance. Incidence proportion of patients with BREs was lower in patients trea...

Management of Cerebral Vein Thrombosis in a Canadian Tertiary Hospital
Introduction: Cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon cause of stroke and is more likely to affect young adults and children. Women have a three-fold increased risk compared to men, owing to gender specific factors such as oral contraceptive use (OCP), pregnancy, and hormone replacement therapies. The presenting symptoms of CVT are non-specific and include headache, seizure, focal neurological deficits, or coma as the most severe presentation. The rarity and variable symptoms of the disease leads to delayed diagnosis and implementation of treatment. With improved imaging techniques and increased awareness in recent y...

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...

A Polymorphism in Toll-like Receptor 2 Gene Is Associated with Occurrence of Bacterial Infections in Sickle Cell Disease Patients
Discussion: In SCD pts, TLR-2 rs4696480 TA genotype might be protective against bacterial infections, whereas TT genotype might increase risk of such infections. Previous reports demonstrated higher secretion of inflammatory factors in cells from AA individuals, lower occurrence and severity of immune diseases in T carriers. TA genotype might stand between deleterious effects of over inflammatory response (AA genotype) and under response (TT genotype) to infectious agents.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Hydroxyurea Therapy Does Not Impact Current Survival Estimates in the East London Sickle Cell Newborn Cohort Study
Conclusions: The study is the first to evaluate survival in a newborn cohort past the age of 20 years. We have confirmed a low mortality rate in childhood, but increased number of deaths in young adults including those with HbSC. This study provides evidence of the benefit of newborn screening and comprehensive care which is accessible at all ages, free of charge. The uptake of HU, particularly at a young age, has been low and a positive effect of HU on survival as described in other studies has not yet been observed in this cohort. Earlier initiation of disease-modifying treatment and longer-term follow-up will be require...

Final Results from a Phase I Trial Combining Selinexor with High-Dose Cytarabine (HiDAC) and Mitoxantrone (Mito) for Remission Induction in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Conclusions: The selinexor/HiDAC/Mito regimen is feasible and tolerable at selinexor doses up to 80mg/day or ~50 mg/m2/day twice weekly. This regimen yields an ORR of 64% based on currently available data. We had previously reported molecular correlatives demonstrating the effect of selinexor. The recommended phase 2 dose is 80mg of selinexor.Figure.DisclosuresLarson: Ariad/Takeda: Consultancy, Research Funding; BristolMyers Squibb: Consultancy, Research Funding; Novartis: Consultancy, Research Funding; Pfizer: Consultancy, Research Funding.
