Luspatercept and Lenalidomide (L2) in Lower-risk, Non-del(5q) MDS Patients

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the combination of drugs, Lenalidomide and Luspatercept, will help improve the treatment of anemia in people with lower-risk MDS. Anemia is a condition in which the blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells are made in an area of the bone called the bone marrow. Anemia is a common side effect in people who have MDS because this cancer disrupts the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. Sometimes anemia can be treated successfully with a therapy known as an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA). The ESA medication tries to help the bone marrow make more red blood cells. However, some people do not respond to this treatment and have limited options. This research study is to improve anemia treatment options for people with MDS who have not responded, or are unlikely to respond to ESAs.

Treatment of High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Not Candidates for Allogeneic Transplantation of Hematopoietic Progenitors (ALO-HSCT)

An observational, non-interventional, prospective and multicenter study of Azacitidine in newly diagnosed High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes. Primary objectives are to asses mutational status of target genes by Next Generation Sequencing, to evaluate prognostic value of geriatric assessment scales and to evaluate overall survival. The main hypothesis is that mutation status of target genes and geriatric scales have statistical significant impact on overall survival. Study time points will be at diagnosis, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months, always taking into account the routine clinical practice, when sample to assess mutational status will be collected. Geriatric assessment will only be performed at diagnosis. Upon the signature of informed consent and the checking of inclusion criteria, patients will receive treatment with Azacitidine 75 mg/sqm on a 28 days based cycles (both 7-0-0 and 5-0-2 regimens are allowed) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or investigator decision. 150 patients are expected to be recruited at study sites.

Differential Diagnostic of Immune ThrombocytoPenia (ITP) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)

Current diagnostic criteria for Immune ThrombocytoPenia (ITP) are mainly based on the presence of low numbers of platelets, excluding other multiple causes of thrombocytopenia, including immunodeficiencies, constitutional or acquired thrombocytopenia, hypersplenism and clonal hematological disorders such as MDS, disorders lymphoproliferative and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), among others. The analysis complementary tests for the diagnosis of ITP include studies basic systematic hematology, together with autoimmune assays and microbiological tests, while the evaluation of bone marrow is limited to elderly patients and/or patients resistant to treatment. Previous research has described the development of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) in patients with a previous diagnosis of ITP, and even the presence of MDS associated with genetic background. Therefore, it is conceivable fact that a percentage of cases with clinical signs of ITP in the moment of appearance may actually correspond to the first stages of MDS development in which bone marrow cells are not systematically evaluated in the initial presentation. The anomalous immunophenotypic patterns between multiple compartments of bone marrow cells and peripherally blood (PB) platelets have been characterized through flow cytometry. The flow cytometry currently represents an important complementary tool for diagnosis of MDS that has shown great effectiveness and applicability in the differential diagnosis of non-clonal cytopenias against early MDS and for the detection of stages prior to MDS. Besides, the flow cytometry has made it possible to detect the presence of coexisting features related to MDS in patients with other malignancies hematologic conditions such as multiple myeloma, AML, and lymphocytic leukemia chronic. Therefore, the immunophenotypic analysis of the cells of the bone marrow of patients with ITP at the time of appearance would help to identify the cases that underlie clonal hematopoiesis MDS type. In the present study it is planned a broad characterization immunophenotyping of multiple compartments of bone marrow cells and PB platelets from patients with recently diagnosed ITP and investigate their morphological antecedents, in order to identify those patients who show compatible clonal hematopoietic patterns with MDS evident (or at risk of development), as candidates to receive most appropriate therapeutic methods.

Safety Study of Gene Modified Donor T-cells Following Partially Mismatched Stem Cell Transplant

This study will evaluate patients with blood cell cancers who are going to have an allogeneic (donor) blood stem cell transplant from a partially matched relative. The research study will test whether immune cells, called T cells, which come from the donor relative and are specially grown in the laboratory and then given back to the patient along with the stem cell transplant (T cell addback), can help the immune system recover faster after the transplant. As a safety measure, these T cells have been "programmed" with a "self-destruct switch" so that if, after they have been given to the patient, the T cells start to react against the tissues (called "graft versus host" disease, GVHD), the T cells can be destroyed.

Development and Prospective Validation of a Standardized Flow Cytometric Assay of Peripheral Blood Neutrophil Myeloperoxidase Expression for Ruling Out Myelodysplastic Syndromes.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) comprise a heterogeneous group of clonal bone marrow neoplasms that predominate in the elderly, with a median age at diagnosis of 70 years. The diagnosis of MDS relies on peripheral blood cytopenia and morphologic dysplasia for one or more hematopoietic cell lineage. Cytopenia is evidenced with hemogram while dysplasia requires bone marrow aspirate, which is an invasive procedure . Considering the low prevalence of disease among subjects referred for suspected MDS, many patients are exposed to unnecessary bone marrow aspiration-related discomfort and harms. Therefore, an objective assay based on a peripheral blood sample that accurately discriminates MDS from other cytopenia etiologies is highly desirable. We have previously developed and refined a flow cytometric analysis protocol for quantifying neutrophil MPO expression in peripheral blood at three university-affiliated hospitals (i.e., Clermont-Ferrand, Saint-Etienne, and Grenoble) (Raskovalova et al, Hematologica 2019). We found that the robust coefficient of variation (RCV, computed as the robust standard deviation divided by the median) within an individual subject was the best parameter in discriminating patients with versus without MDS. Although promising, flow cytometric analysis of neutrophil MPO expression in peripheral blood is technically complex, time consuming, and not standardized. Hence, its performance requires specific expertise and the results show substantial variability. A single ready-to-use tube with lyophilized antibodies would have the potential to standardize the measurement of neutrophil MPO expression in peripheral blood across laboratories, with results available within 30-60 min in routine practice. In this study, the investigators hypothesize that a standardized and semi-automatic flow cytometric assay of neutrophil MPO expression in peripheral blood could accurately rule out MDS and obviate the need for bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, with sensitivity and negative predictive value estimates approaching 100%. In this observational diagnostic accuracy study, burden will be null for recruited patients. No specific intervention is assigned to participants. All diagnostic testing, procedures, and medication ordering are performed at the discretion of attending physicians. A test result will have no impact on patient management. .Compliance with current guidelines disseminated by the French Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) will be advocated for the diagnostic work-up of patients with suspected MDS. No follow-up visits are planned in this cross-sectional study.

Study of Gene Modified Donor T-cells Following TCR Alpha Beta Positive Depleted Stem Cell Transplant

This study will evaluate pediatric patients with malignant or non-malignant blood cell disorders who are having a blood stem cell transplant depleted of T cell receptor (TCR) alfa and beta cells that comes from a partially matched family donor. The study will assess whether immune cells, called T cells, from the family donor, that are specially grown in the laboratory and given back to the patient along with the stem cell transplant can help the immune system recover faster after transplant. As a safety measure these T cells have been programmed with a self-destruct switch so that they can be destroyed if they start to react against tissues (graft versus host disease).

RIC Regimen for Elderly or High Comorbidity Burden Patients Receiving Haplo-HSCT

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen in elderly or high comorbidity burden patients who receive haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). Haplo-HSCT is an effective treatment option for patients who did not have identical sibling donor (ISD) or unrelated donor (URD). However, post-transplant transplant-related mortality (TRM) is one of the major causes for transplant failure, and the risk of TRM for old patients or those with high comorbidity burden was higher. RIC regimen may decrease the risk of TRM for haplo-HSCT recipients. The study hypothesis: Using RIC haplo-HSCT regimen in elderly patients or those with high comorbidity burden can reduce TRM and improve survival.

RIC Regimen for Low- and Intermediate-risk MDS Receiving Haplo-HSCT

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen in low- and intermediate-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients who receive haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). Haplo-HSCT is an effective treatment option for MDS patients who did not have identical sibling donor (ISD) or unrelated donor (URD). However, post-transplant transplant-related mortality (TRM) is one of the major causes for transplant failure in MDS patients, and the risk of TRM for haplo-HSCT recipients was higher than that of ISD recipients. RIC regimen can decrease the risk of TRM for haplo-HSCT recipients; however, the risk for relapse may increase in these patients. Thus, RIC regimen may be more appropriate for low- and intermediate-risk MDS patients receiving haplo-HSCT. The study hypothesis: Using RIC haplo-HSCT regimen in patients with low- and risk MDS can reduce TRM and improve survival.
