Abstract
Vulnerability to adversarial attacks is one of the principal hurdles to the adoption of deep learning in safety-critical applications. Despite significant efforts, both practical and theoretical, training deep learning models robust to adversarial attacks is still an open problem. In this article, we analyse the geometry of adversarial attacks in the over-parameterized limit for Bayesian neural networks (BNNs). We show that, in the limit, vulnerability to gradient-based attacks arises as a result of degeneracy in the data distribution, i.e., when the data lie on a lower dimensional submanifold of the ambient space. As a direct consequence, we demonstrate that in this limit, BNN posteriors are robust to gradient-based adversarial attacks. Crucially, by relying on the convergence of infinitely-wide BNNs to Gaussian processes (GPs), we prove that, under certain relatively mild assumptions, the expected gradient of the loss with respect to the BNN posterior distribution is vanishing, even when each NN sampled from the BNN posterior does not have vanishing gradients. The experimental results on the MNIST, Fashion MNIST, and a synthetic dataset with BNNs trained with Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and variational inference support this line of arguments, empirically showing that BNNs can display both high accuracy on clean data and robustness to both gradient-based and gradient-free adversarial attacks.

Abstract
Loss-of-function mutations in NFKBIE, which encodes for the NF-κB inhibitor IκBε, are frequent in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and certain other B-cell malignancies and have been associated with accelerated disease progression and inferior responses to chemotherapy. Using in vitro and in vivo murine models and primary patient samples, we now show that NFKBIE-mutated CLL cells are selected by microenvironmental signals that activate the NF-κB pathway and induce alterations within the tumor microenvironment that can allow for immune escape, including expansion of CD8+ T-cells with an exhausted phenotype and increased PD-L1 expression on the malignant B-cells. Consistent with the latter observations, we find increased expression of exhaustion markers on T-cells from patients with NFKBIE-mutated CLL. In addition, we show that NFKBIE-mutated murine CLL cells display selective resistance to ibrutinib and report inferior outcomes to ibrutinib treatment in NFKBIE-mutated CLL patients. These findings suggest that NFKBIE mutations can contribute to CLL progression through multiple mechanisms, including a bidirectional crosstalk with the microenvironment and reduced sensitivity to BTK inhibitor treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the setting of mismatched-hematopoietic stem cells transplantation, the detection of antibodies directed against donor-specific HLA allele(s) or antigen(s) (DSA) represents a barrier for engraftment. It is thus necessary to plan an immunosuppressive strategy, or to select an alternative donor. This prospective study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of our strategy for testing DSAs and the efficacy of the desensitization strategy (DS) employed between November 2017 and November 2020. MATERIALS AND METHODS The anti-HLA antibody search was performed using the Luminex bead assays (Lifecode ID and LSA I/II-Immucor) and expressed as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI >1,000 positive). If the patient had DSAs and no alternative donors, a DS was employed with rituximab (day -15), 2 single volume plasmaphereses (PP; days -9 and -8), intravenous immunoglobulins (day -7) and infusion of HLA selected platelets, if persistent DSAs were directed against class I HLA. DS was scheduled with or without PP, according to the DSA MFI (>1,000 or <5,000) and FCXM (flow cytometry crossmatch). RESULTS Twenty-two out of 126 patients (17.46%) showed anti-HLA antibodies, 5 of them DSAs (3.97% of total); 3 patients underwent DS obtaining engraftment. Female gender (p=0.033) and a history of previous pregnancies or miscarriages (p=0.009) showed a statistically significant impact on alloimmunization. Factors associated with a delayed neutrophil engraftment were patient's female gender (p=0.039), stem cell source (p=0.025), and a high HSCT-specific comorbidity index (p=0.028). None of the analyzed variables, including the DSA detection, influenced engraftment. CONCLUSIONS Our study confirms the importance to test DSAs in mismatched-hematopoietic stem cells transplantation The DS used proved successful in removing DSAs. Prospective multicenter studies are needed to better define and validate consensus strategies on DSA management in HSCT.

Abstract
Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (aPBSCT) provides optimal outcomes in POEMS syndrome but the definition of the best treatment before aPBSCT remains to be defined because of the rarity of the disease and the heterogeneity of published case series. We collected clinical and laboratory data of patients with POEMS syndrome undergoing aPBSCT from 1998 to 2020 in ten Italian centers. The primary endpoint of the study was to evaluate the impact of prior therapies and mobilization regimen on outcome. We divided the patients into three groups: patients who did not receive any treatment before transplant (15 patients, group A: front-line), patients pre-treated with other agents (14 patients, group B) and patients treated with cyclophosphamide as their mobilizing regimen (16 patients, group C). The three groups did not show differences in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics. All 45 patients underwent aPBSCT after a high-dose melphalan conditioning regimen, with a median follow-up of 77 months (range, 37-169 months). The responses were not statistically different between the three groups (P=0.38). Progression-free and overall survival rates at 6 years were: 70% (95% confidence interval: 55-85%) and 91% (95% confidence interval: 82-99) 65%, respectively, and did not differ between the three groups. The cumulative incidence of transplant-related mortality and relapse was 4% and 36%, respectively. In conclusion, in a relatively large number of patients with POEMS syndrome, undergoing an autologous transplant, pre-treatment and disease status at transplant did not appear to have an impact on major transplant outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Agarose gel-based conventional and real-time allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR) assays are currently used for sensitive detection and quantification of MYD88 L265P mutation. Visual inspection of an agarose gel can often be ambiguous. We propose a new allele-specific quantification PCR (AS-qPCR) assay, PlentiPlex™ MYD88 Waldenström lymphoma qPCR assay, that uses Intercalating Nucleic Acid (INA®) technology for increased affinity and specificity. METHODS This study compares PlentiPlex™ MYD88 Waldenström lymphoma qPCR assay with conventional AS-PCR. We included a total of 102 peripheral and bone marrow blood samples from 94 patients with a lymphoproliferative disorder. Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) was used as a third method in case of discrepancy. RESULTS A positive percent agreement of 100% (95% CI 0.92-1.0) and a negative percent agreement of 98% (95% CI 0.90-1.0) were found between the conventional AS-PCR and the AS-qPCR methods. Including the ddPCR results to validate the discrepant cases, the sensitivity and specificity of PlentiPlex™ MYD88 Waldenström lymphoma qPCR Assay were 1.0 (95% CI 0.97-1.0) and 1.0 (95% CI 0.96-1.0), respectively. CONCLUSION Our data demonstrate that PlentiPlex™ MYD88 Waldenström lymphoma qPCR assay is a fast, highly sensitive, and specific method for the detection of MYD88 L265P compared with conventional AS-PCR.

Abstract
We studied the incidence of acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) and its outcome in three consecutive time frames (year <2000; 2000-2010; >2010), in 3,120 patients allografted in two transplant Centers between 1976 and 2020. The median age increased over the three periods from 32 to 42 to 54 years (p < 0.00001). The median day of onset of GvHD in the three periods was day +14, day +16, and day +30, respectively (p < 0.0001). The cumulative incidence (CI) of GvHD grades II-IV in the three periods was 47, 24, and 16%, respectively (p < 0.00001). The CI of GvHD grades III-IV was 13, 5, and 4% (p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, significant predictive factors for GvHD II-IV, on top of year of transplant, were anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) (RR 0.67, p > 0.001); post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY) (RR 0.41, p < 0.001), a family mismatched donor (RR 1.31, p = 0.03) a matched unrelated donor (RR 2.1, p < 0.001), an unrelated mismatched donor (RR1.8, p = 0.001), donor age above 40 years (RR 1.27, p < 0.001), hematological malignancy-as compared to aplastic anemia (RR 2.3, p < 0.001). When selecting only GvHD grade II, in a multivariate analysis, there was a significant reduction of transplant-related mortality (TRM) for patients grafted in 2001-2010 (RR 0.62, p < 0.0001) and for patients grafted in 2011-2020 (RR 0.35, p < 0.0001) as compared to grafts before the year 2000. A similar reduction in time was seen for patients with GvHD grades III-IV. The overall TRM in the three periods was 30, 22, and 16% (p < 0.0001) and survival was 47, 51, and 58% (p < 0.0001). Relapse risk was unchanged. In conclusion, we showed improved prevention of acute GvHD with time, together with a significant delay in the onset of the disease. Treatment of GvHD has also improved over time, as suggested by both reduced TRM and improved survival in more recent transplant periods.

Abstract
Atypical chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is still defined according to morphological criteria. However, deviance from the typical surface immunological profile suggests an atypical immunological-based CLL. A large cohort of patients with CLL was retrospectively evaluated aiming at assessing morphological (FAB criteria), immunophenotypical (two or more discordances from the typical profile), and clinical-biological features of atypical CLL. Compared to typical cases, morphologically atypical CLL showed a greater percentage of unmutated IgVH and CD38 positivity, and a higher expression of CD20. Immunophenotypically atypical CLL was characterized by more advanced clinical stages, higher expression of CD20, higher rate of FMC7, CD79b and CD49d positivity, and by an intermediate-high expression of membrane surface immunoglobulin, compared to typical cases. When patients were categorized based on immunophenotypic and morphologic concordance or discordance, no difference emerged. Finally, morphological features better discriminated patients' prognosis in terms of time-to-first treatment, while concordant atypical cases showed overall a worse prognosis. Discordant cases by immunophenotype and/or morphology did not identify specific prognostic groups. Whether-in the era of molecular markers used as prognostic indicators-it does make sense to focus on morphology and immunophenotype features in CLL is still matter of debate needing further research.

Abstract
Although chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) predominantly affects the elderly, limited data exists about the outcomes of over 80-year-old patients, usually underrepresented in clinical trials. We conducted a multicenter study enrolling 79 consecutive CLL patients ≥80 years at the time of frontline therapy, all treated with ibrutinib. Nearly 48% of cases exhibited unmutated IGHV genes, 32% 17p deletion, and 39.2% TP53 mutations; 63.3% displayed a cumulative illness rating scale (CIRS) > 6. The overall response rate on ibrutinib, computed in 74/79 patients (5 patients excluded for early withdrawal), was 89.9%. After a median follow-up of 28.9 months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 42.5 and 51.8 months, respectively. CIRS>6 and temporary discontinuation of ibrutinib lasting for 7-30 days were the only parameters associated with a significantly shorter PFS and were both relevant in predicting a shorter PFS compared to patients with CIRS≤6 and therapy discontinuation ≤7 days. The most common grade≥3 adverse events were infections (25.5%), neutropenia (10.1%), and anemia (2.5%). Eighteen patients (22.8%) experienced a cardiovascular event, including grade-2 atrial fibrillation (n = 9; 11%), grade-2 hypertension (n = 5; 6%), heart failure (n = 3; 3%), and acute coronary syndrome (n = 1; 1%). Mild bleeding events were observed in 27 patients (34.2%). Ibrutinib was permanently discontinued in 26 patients due to progressive disease (n = 11, including 5 Richter's syndromes), secondary malignancies (n = 6), infections (n = 3), cardiac failure (n = 3), severe bleeding (n = 2), and sudden death (n = 1). In conclusion, our analyses confirmed the overall effectiveness and favorable safety profile of the ibrutinib-single agent therapeutic approach in CLL patients ≥80 years.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) therapies differ in efficacy, side effects, route, frequency, and duration of administration. We assessed patient preferences for treatment attributes and evaluated associations with disease stage, treatment line, and socio-demographic characteristics in a cross sectional, observational study conducted at 16 Italian hematology centers. Study visits occurred between February and July 2020; 401 adult patients with CLL (201 Watch and Wait (W&W), 200 treated) participated in a discrete choice experiment (DCE), composed of 8 choices between pairs of treatment profiles with different levels of 5 attributes of currently available CLL treatments (length of response, route and duration of administration, risk of side effects including diarrhea, infections, or organ damage). Health-related quality of life was assessed with the EQ-5D-5L, EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ CLL-16. Previously treated patients had longer disease duration (7 vs. 5 years), higher prevalence of serious comorbidities (45.5% vs. 36.2%) and high-risk molecular markers (unmutated IGHV 55.6% vs. 17.1%; TP53 mutation 15.2% vs. 4.0%). Health-related quality of life scores were similar between groups. In the DCE, W&W patients rated "possible occurrence of infections" highest (relative importance [RI] = 36.2%), followed by "treatment and relevant duration" (RI = 28.0%) and "progression-free survival (PFS)" (RI = 16.9%). Previously treated patients rated "treatment and relevant duration" highest (RI = 33.3%), followed by "possible occurrence of infections" (RI = 28.8%), "possible occurrence of organ damage" (RI = 19.4%), and "PFS" (RI = 9.8%). Concern over infection was rated highest overall; unexpectedly PFS was not among the most important criteria in either group, suggesting that the first COVID-19 pandemic wave may have influenced patient preferences and concerns about CLL therapy options.

Abstract
Clinical or biological parameters useful to predict progression during treatment in real-life setting with ibrutinib, idelalisib and venetoclax in relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are still debated. We conducted a multi-center retrospective study on CLL patients treated with ibrutinib and/or idelalisib who were switched to venetoclax for progression or due to adverse events to identify any clinical and/or biological parameters useful to predict progression during treatment with venetoclax. Of all the 128 evaluable patients, 81 had received ibrutinib prior to switching to venetoclax, 35 had received idelalisib and 12 both. When comparing the three subgroups, we did not notice any statistical difference in terms of clinical or biological features. No variable at baseline and at different time points during the follow-up (at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months) was found to predict progression nor to have significance for Progression Free Survival (PFS) in the ibrutinib group and in the idelalisib group and in subgroups according to the line of treatment. Analyzing the data of the venetoclax treatment, after a median follow up of 14.3 months, median PFS was not reached and estimated 3-year PFS was 54%. Of the 128 patients treated with venetoclax, 28 (22%) experienced progressive disease. At multivariate analysis for predictive factors for progression, lymph node diameter >56.5 mm before starting treatment emerged as an independent risk factor for progression. The lymph node predictive role for progression during venetoclax treatment could be a new parameter that deserves to be investigate in future studies.

Abstract
In this retrospective international multicenter study, we describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and related disorders (small lymphocytic lymphoma and high-count monoclonal B lymphocytosis) infected by SARS-CoV-2, including the development of post-COVID condition. Data from 1540 patients with CLL infected by SARS-CoV-2 from January 2020 to May 2022 were included in the analysis and assigned to four phases based on cases disposition and SARS-CoV-2 variants emergence. Post-COVID condition was defined according to the WHO criteria. Patients infected during the most recent phases of the pandemic, though carrying a higher comorbidity burden, were less often hospitalized, rarely needed intensive care unit admission, or died compared to patients infected during the initial phases. The 4-month overall survival (OS) improved through the phases, from 68% to 83%, p = .0015. Age, comorbidity, CLL-directed treatment, but not vaccination status, emerged as risk factors for mortality. Among survivors, 6.65% patients had a reinfection, usually milder than the initial one, and 16.5% developed post-COVID condition. The latter was characterized by fatigue, dyspnea, lasting cough, and impaired concentration. Infection severity was the only risk factor for developing post-COVID. The median time to resolution of the post-COVID condition was 4.7 months. OS in patients with CLL improved during the different phases of the pandemic, likely due to the improvement of prophylactic and therapeutic measures against SARS-CoV-2 as well as the emergence of milder variants. However, mortality remained relevant and a significant number of patients developed post-COVID conditions, warranting further investigations.

Abstract
Background Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have a higher risk of developing other malignancies (OMs) compared to the general population. However, the impact of CLL-related risk factors and CLL-directed treatment is still unclear and represents the focus of this work. Methods We conducted a retrospective international multicenter study to assess the incidence of OMs and detect potential risk factors in 19,705 patients with CLL, small lymphocytic lymphoma, or high-count CLL-like monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis, diagnosed between 2000 and 2016. Data collection took place between October 2020 and March 2022. Findings In 129,254 years of follow-up after CLL diagnosis, 3513 OMs were diagnosed (27.2 OMs/1000 person-years). The most common hematological OMs were Richter transformation, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Non-melanoma skin (NMSC) and prostate cancers were the most common solid tumors (STs).The only predictor for MDS and AML development was treatment with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide with/without rituximab (FC ± R) (OR = 3.7; 95% CI = 2.79-4.91; p < 0.001). STs were more frequent in males and patients with unmutated immunoglobulin heavy variable genes (OR = 1.77; 95% CI = 1.49-2.11; p < 0.001/OR = 1.89; 95% CI = 1.6-2.24; p < 0.001).CLL-directed treatment was associated with non-melanoma skin and prostate cancers (OR = 1.8; 95% CI = 1.36-2.41; p < 0.001/OR = 2.11; 95% CI = 1.12-3.97; p = 0.021). In contrast, breast cancers were more frequent in untreated patients (OR = 0.17; 95% CI = 0.08-0.33; p < 0.001).Patients with CLL and an OM had inferior overall survival (OS) than those without. AML and MDS conferred the worst OS (p < 0.001). Interpretation OMs in CLL impact on OS. Treatment for CLL increased the risk for AML/MDS, prostate cancer, and NMSC. FCR was associated with increased risk for AML/MDS. Funding AbbVie, and EU/EFPIAInnovative Medicines Initiative Joint Undertaking HARMONY grant n° 116026.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common form of adult leukemia in the western world. In Italy, venetoclax was approved for use in patients with CLL as monotherapy in 2017 and in combinations in 2019. As a result of this delayed approval, there are relatively few real-world studies from Italian clinical practice and much of the data are in heavily pretreated patients. We have collected the available studies in Italian routine practice. Three studies confirm the effectiveness and tolerability of this agent in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL and high-risk disease characteristics, many of whom had received prior B-cell receptor signaling treatment. Addition of rituximab to venetoclax produced more complete responses in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL, while higher disease burden and progression while receiving a prior Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor were both associated with poorer outcomes in patients treated with venetoclax. Venetoclax was well-tolerated with low discontinuation rates. No studies of venetoclax plus obinutuzumab for the first-line treatment of patients with CLL were available due to the short time since approval in Italy. Several cohorts addressed the impact of COVID-19 on patient management and outcomes, suggesting that treated patients and those in clinical observation had similar rates of COVID-19-related hospital admission, intensive care unit admission, and mortality. Overall, the responses and tolerance to venetoclax observed in the Italian real-world setting confirm the tolerability and effectiveness of venetoclax regimens in high-risk patients.

Abstract
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is the most common form of leukemia in adults, with a highly variable clinical course. Improvement in the knowledge of the molecular pathways behind this disease has led to the development of increasingly specific therapies, such as BCR signaling inhibitors and BCL-2 inhibitors. In this context, the emerging role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in CLL pathophysiology and their possible application in therapy is worth noting. MiRNAs are one of the most important regulatory molecules of gene expression. In CLL, they can act both as oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, and the deregulation of specific miRNAs has been associated with prognosis, progression, and drug resistance. In this review, we describe the role of the miRNAs that primarily impact the disease, and how these miRNAs could be used as therapeutic tools. Certainly, the use of miRNAs in clinical practice is still limited in CLL. Many issues still need to be solved, particularly regarding their biological and safety profile, even if several studies have suggested their efficacy on the disease, alone or in combination with other drugs.

Abstract
Takezaki et al. analyzed the outcome of 57 patients with indolent lymphomas treated with Bendamustine plus Rituximab (BR) according to the number of cycles received, showing that patients who discontinued BR after four cycles had similar outcomes compared to patients who received five or six cycles. Considering the similarities but also the differences between indolent lymphomas and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), we enriched the results obtained with a cohort of CLL patients treated with BR starting from the experience of the Lazio region group on CLL. Out of 115 patients, 97 (84%) received 4-6 cycles of BR, while 18 (16%) received 1-3 cycles. The outcome of the group of patients who received at least 4 cycles was superior in terms of response rate (ORR 96% vs. ORR 83%, p = 0.041; CR 58% vs. CR 28%, p = 0.052 respectively) and PFS [median PFS 52.6 (40.3-64.9) versus 26.2 (19.3-33.0) months, p < 0.001]. The number of patients undergoing 4 cycles of BR (4-cycles group) and 5-6 cycles (over-4-cycles group) was 9 and 88, respectively. Compared to analysis conducted by the Japanese group in indolent lymphomas, in CLL we did not observe any difference between the outcome of the 4-cycles group and the over-4-cycles group in terms of ORR (89% vs. 97%, p = 0.268) and in survival [median PFS 40.8 (13.7-67.8) versus 52.6 (38.7-66.5) months, p = 0.117]. Moreover, we observed that patients who achieved a clinical CR showed overlapping outcomes with patients who received more than 4 cycles [CR vs. non-CR median PFS not reached vs. 11.0 months; over-4-cycles group median PFS 52.6 months (40.3-64.9); p < 0.001]. Nowadays chemoimmunotherapy with BR is reserved to fit elderly CLL patients, and there are many chemo-free treatment options available; therefore, discontinuation after 4 cycles may be permissible in patients who obtained a CR in order to limit toxicity as much as possible.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia can evolve to an aggressive lymphoma-in most of the cases diffuse large B cells lymphoma, rarely Hodgkin lymphoma-and this complication is defined Richter syndrome (RS). Immunogenotypic features that characterize RS include unmutated IgHV status with high prevalence of IgHV4-39/D6-13/J5 sequence; deletion of chromosome 17p or 11q; activation of oncogenes as NOTCH1 and c-MYC; inactivation of onco-suppressors as TP53 and CDKN2A; high expression of CD38 in lymph-nodes. The prognosis of this condition is very poor: patients experience a rapid clinical deterioration with frequent therapeutic failure since the current options include suboptimal strategies as standard chemo-immunotherapy followed by hematopoietic stem cells transplantation or enrollment in clinical trials which investigate the efficacy of target drugs. Understanding the biology of such a heterogeneous condition is crucial to personalize the treatment and improve patient's survival.

Abstract
The widespread popularity of Machine Learning (ML) models in healthcare solutions has increased the demand for their interpretability and accountability. In this paper, we propose the Physiologically-Informed Gaussian Process (PhGP) classification model, an interpretable machine learning model founded on the Bayesian nature of Gaussian Processes (GPs). Specifically, we inject problem-specific domain knowledge of inherent physiological mechanisms underlying the psycho-physiological states as a prior distribution over the GP latent space. Thus, to estimate the hyper-parameters in PhGP, we rely on the information from raw physiological signals as well as the designed prior function encoding the physiologically-inspired modelling assumptions. Alongside this new model, we present novel interpretability metrics that highlight the most informative input regions that contribute to the GP prediction. We evaluate the ability of PhGP to provide an accurate and interpretable classification on three different datasets, including electrodermal activity (EDA) signals collected during emotional, painful, and stressful tasks. Our results demonstrate that, for all three tasks, recognition performance is improved by using the PhGP model compared to competitive methods. Moreover, PhGP is able to provide physiological sound interpretations over its predictions.
