Abstract
BACKGROUND This study reported height prediction and longitudinal growth changes in Chinese pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) during and after treatment and their associations with outcomes. METHODS Changes in 88 children with AML in percentages according to the growth percentile curve for Chinese boys/girls aged 2-18/0-2 years for body mass index (BMI), height, and weight from the time of diagnosis to 2 years off therapy were evaluated. The outcomes of AML were compared among patients with different BMI levels. RESULTS The proportion of underweight children (weight < 5th percentile) increased significantly from the initial diagnosis to the end of consolidation treatment. The proportion of patients with low BMI (BMI < 5th percentile) was highest (23.08%) during the consolidation phase, and no children were underweight, but 20% were overweight (BMI > 75th percentile) after 2 years of drug withdrawal. Unhealthy BMI at the initial diagnosis and during intensive chemotherapy leads to poorer outcomes. For height, all patients were in the range of genetic height predicted based on their parents' height at final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Physicians should pay more attention to the changes in height and weight of children with AML at these crucial treatment stages and intervene in time.

Treatment and follow-up of children with chronic myeloid leukaemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) in the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) era-Two decades of experience from the Tata Memorial Hospital paediatric CML (pCML) cohort. Br J Haematol 2024; 204:1249-1261.

Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have drastically improved the outcomes of pCML (paediatric CML) but data on long-term off-target toxicities of TKIs in children are scarce. In this single-centre, retrospective cum prospective study of pCML in chronic phase, we report our experience of treating 173 children with imatinib and following them for long-term toxicities. Mean (SD) time to attain CHR, CCyR and MMR were 3.05 (2.1), 10.6 (8.4) and 43.4 (31.8) months respectively. DMR was not attained in 59 (34%) patients at last follow-up. Ten patients were switched to second-generation TKIs (2G-TKIs; nilotinib = 1/dasatinib = 9) due to poor/loss in response, of which seven had kinase domain mutations. Three patients progressed to the blastic phase. At a median follow-up of 84 (3-261) months, the 5-year EFS and OS for the entire cohort were 96.9% (95% CI: 93.4-100) and 98.7% (95% CI: 96.9-100) respectively. Screening for long-term toxicities revealed low bone density and hypovitaminosis D in 70% and 80% respectively. Other late effects included short stature (27%), delayed puberty (15%), poor sperm quality (43%) and miscellaneous endocrinopathies (8%). Children younger than 5 years at diagnosis were more susceptible to growth and endocrine toxicities (p = 0.009). Regular monitoring for long-term toxicities, timely intervention and trial of discontinuation whenever feasible are likely to improve the long-term outlook of pCML.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Barely two per million Belgian children/adolescents are diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) annually. In this retrospective study, we aimed to investigate the diagnostic features, clinical and laboratory characteristics, and treatment outcome of this rare entity. METHODS Medical records of all pediatric CML patients (age ≤ 17 years) diagnosed at the University Hospitals Leuven between 1986 and 2021 were reviewed. RESULTS Fourteen patients (median age at diagnosis 12.5 years) were included, all presenting in chronic phase. Five patients were diagnosed before 2003; main therapy included hydroxyurea (n = 5/5), interferon-alfa (n = 3/5) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-Tx) (n = 3/5). Complete hematologic response (CHR), complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) and major molecular response (MMR) was reached in resp. 4/5, 4/5 and in 2/3 of evaluable patients. Three patients progressed to accelerated/blast phase (median time 19 months) and 1/5 is alive and disease-free at last follow-up. Nine patients were diagnosed after 2003 and were treated with first generation (1°G) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI): 3/9 subsequently underwent an allo-Tx, 4/9 were switched to 2°G TKI, one patient was additionally switched to 3°G TKI. CHR, CCyR and MMR was reached in 9/9, 9/9 and 8/9 of these patients. No progression to accelerated/blast phase was observed and none of these patients deceased. At last follow-up, 7/9 patients were in MMR or disease free, the two remaining patients did not reach or lost MMR, both related to compliance issues. CONCLUSION Our study confirmed that TKI significantly improved the prognosis of pediatric CML. However, drug compliance poses a considerable challenge.

Abstract
Simple Summary Targeted therapies in children with hematological malignancies moderate the effects of cytotoxic therapy, thus improving survival rates. They have emerged over the last decade and are used in combination with or after the failure of conventional chemotherapy and as bridging therapy prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Nowadays, there is a growing interest in their efficacy and safety in pediatric patients with refractory or relapsed disease. The compromised immune system, even prior to therapy, requires prompt monitoring and treatment. In children with hematological malignancies, targeted therapies are associated with a comparable incidence of infectious complications to adults. The exact impact of these agents that have different mechanisms of action and are used after conventional chemotherapy or HSCT is difficult to ascertain. Clinicians should be cautious of severe infections after the use of targeted therapies, especially when used in combination with chemotherapy. Abstract The aim of this review is to highlight mechanisms of immunosuppression for each agent, along with pooled analyses of infectious complications from the available medical literature. Rituximab confers no increase in grade ≥3 infectious risks, except in the case of patients with advanced-stage non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Gemtuzumab ozogamicin links with high rates of grade ≥3 infections which, however, are comparable with historical cohorts. Pembrolizumab exhibits a favorable safety profile in terms of severe infections. Despite high rates of hypogammaglobulinemia (HGG) with blinatumomab, low-grade ≥3 infection rates were observed, especially in the post-reinduction therapy of relapsed B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Imatinib and nilotinib are generally devoid of severe infectious complications, but dasatinib may slightly increase the risk of opportunistic infections. Data on crizotinib and pan-Trk inhibitors entrectinib and larotrectinib are limited. CAR T-cell therapy with tisagenlecleucel is associated with grade ≥3 infections in children and is linked with HGG and the emergence of immune-related adverse events. Off-label therapies inotuzumab ozogamicin, brentuximab vedotin, and venetoclax demonstrate low rates of treatment-related grade ≥3 infections, while the addition of bortezomib to standard chemotherapy in T-cell malignancies seems to decrease the infection risk during induction. Prophylaxis, immune reconstitution, and vaccinations for each targeted agent are discussed, along with comparisons to adult studies.

Abstract
Children with CML need TKI treatment for many years, and the lack of knowledge about immune dysfunction with TKI has hindered routine immunizations. This review attempts to provide an overview of the effects of TKIs licensed for children (e.g., imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib) on immune function, as well as its implications on immunizations. We discuss surveillance strategies (e.g., immunoglobulin blood serum levels and hepatitis B reactivation) and immunizations. All inactivated vaccines (e.g., influenza, pneumococcal, and streptococcal) can be given during the treatment of CML in the chronic phase, although their efficacy may be lower. As shown in single cases of children and adults with CML, live vaccines (e.g., varicella, measles, mumps, rubella, and yellow fever) may be administered under defined circumstances with great precautions. We also highlight important aspects of COVID-19 in this patient population (e.g., the outcome of COVID-19 infection in adults with CML and in children with varying hemato-oncological diseases) and discuss the highly dynamic field of presently available different vaccination options. In conclusion, TKI treatment for CML causes humoral and cellular immune dysfunction, which is mild in most patients, and thus infectious complications are rare. Routine immunizations are important for health maintenance of children, but vaccinations for children with CML on TKI therapy should be carefully considered.

Abstract
Simple Summary The low incidence (1:1,000,000) of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the first two decades of life presents an obstacle to accumulation of pediatric experience and knowledge on this leukemia. Biological features of CML are shared but also differing between adult and pediatric patients. This review aims; (i) to define the disease based on an unified terminology, (ii) to list the diseases to be considered as a differential diagnosis in children, (iii) to outlines the morphological, histopathological and immuno-phenotypical findings of pediatric CML, (iv) to illustrate rare but classical complications resulting from high white cell and platelet counts at diagnosis, and (v) to recommend a uniform approach for the diagnostic procedures to be applied. Evidently, only a clear detailed picture of all relevant features can lay the basis for standardized treatment approaches. Abstract Depending on the analytical tool applied, the hallmarks of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) are the Philadelphia Chromosome and the resulting mRNA fusion transcript BCR-ABL1. With an incidence of 1 per 1 million of children this malignancy is very rare in the first 20 years of life. This article aims to; (i) define the disease based on the WHO nomenclature, the appropriate ICD 11 code and to unify the terminology, (ii) delineate features of epidemiology, etiology, and pathophysiology that are shared, but also differing between adult and pediatric patients with CML, (iii) give a short summary on the diseases to be considered as a differential diagnosis of pediatric CML, (iv) to describe the morphological, histopathological and immunophenotypical findings of CML in pediatric patients, (v) illustrate rare but classical complications resulting from rheological problems observed at diagnosis, (vi) list essential and desirable diagnostic criteria, which hopefully in the future will help to unify the attempts when approaching this rare pediatric malignancy.
