Treatment of patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN): focus on the use of tagraxofusp and clinical considerations. Leuk Lymphoma 2024:1-12. [PMID: 38391126 DOI: 10.1080/10428194.2024.2305288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
BPDCN is an aggressive myeloid malignancy with a poor prognosis. It derives from the precursors of plasmacytoid dendritic cells and is characterized by CD123 overexpression, which is seen in all patients with BPDCN. The CD123-directed therapy tagraxofusp is the only approved treatment for BPDCN; it was approved in the US as monotherapy for the treatment of patients aged ≥2 years with treatment-naive or relapsed/refractory BPDCN. Herein, we review the available data supporting the utility of tagraxofusp in treating patients with BPDCN. In addition, we present best practices and real-world insights from clinicians in academic and community settings in the US on how they use tagraxofusp to treat BPDCN. Several case studies illustrate the efficacy of tagraxofusp and discuss its safety profile, as well as the prevention, mitigation, and management of anticipated adverse events.

Abstract
Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is due to increased capillary permeability to proteins and fluid extravasation from blood vessels into surrounding tissues and body cavities. This fluid extravasation leads to hypotension, generalized anasarca, pleural effusions, and pericardial effusions -- the more severe cases of SCLS can cause multiorgan dysfunction, including cardiovascular collapse, shock, and death. The treatment includes corticosteroids, diuretics, albumin, immunoglobulins, and crystalloids. SCLS is potentially fatal. Recognizing signs and symptoms early and treating the patients is essential as this condition is fatal. It sometimes is a diagnosis of exclusion, being very challenging to diagnose and treat. The lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms causing SCLS and proper treatment guidelines, especially in cancer patients, made diagnosing and treating this condition hard. Reports show that many cancers and anti-cancer treatments, including newer immunotherapy, cause SCLS. The mortality rate of SCLS associated with cytotoxic chemotherapy is 24% at five years. This review focuses on the cancers and anti-cancer drugs causing SCLS, treating acute SCLS, and available preventive regimens. The fundamental purpose of this review is to help clinicians recognize SCLS early to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment. We also would like to elaborate on the fact that research on cancer-related SCLS is critical for developing staging criteria, useful diagnostic markers, prevention, and treatment strategies for anti-cancer drug-induced SCLS to prevent early discontinuation of anti-cancer drugs.

[PMID: 35256892 PMCID: PMC8898106 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6373757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Revised: 01/26/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Objective This study focused on investigating the effects of microRNA551b-5p (miR-551b-5p) on severe acute pancreatitis. Methods Initially, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is employed to determine the expression of miR-551b-5p in differentiated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Further, the effects of aberrantly expressed miR-551b-5p in HUVECs Transwell assay. The expressions of proteins associated with severe acute pancreatitis capillary leakage syndrome are determined by Western blot, FITC-phalloidin, and immunofluorescence stainings. Finally, the correlative factor and the target genes of miR-551b-5p, as well as their contributions, are assessed. Results We observed that overexpression of miR-551b-5p distinctly promoted the expression of EGFR, AKT3, and AQP5, while it suppressed the expression of JAM3, AQP1, and occludin. Functionally, the cytoskeleton of the miR-551b-5p overexpression was relatively loose with apparent vacuoles, and overexpression of miR-551b-5p increased the permeability of HUVECs. Conclusion miR-551b-5p overexpression promoted changes in vascular endothelial permeability via upregulation of the EGFR/AKT3 pathway and downregulation of occludin and JAM3.

Systemic capillary leak syndrome following granulocyte colony-stimulating factor therapy in a T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma patient: a case report. MEMO 2022; 15:143-148.

Abstract
Introduction Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is a rare and often fatal clinical entity used to describe a generalized increase in vascular permeability leading to fluid extravasation toward the interstitial compartment. SCLS could be an idiopathic disease or secondary to infections, malignancies or drugs. Case We present a case of presumably granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-induced SCLS in a 21-year-old man diagnosed with T‑lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. He received the 6th cycle (part B) of the hyper-CVAD chemotherapeutic regimen followed by the initiation of neutropenic fever prophylaxis protocol which included antibiotics and G‑CSF. In a course of hours, the patient became dyspneic, hypotensive, and edematous which required intensive care unit admission and was stabilized accordingly. In the following days the patient's anasarca progressively increased which was associated with hypoalbuminemia, hypotension and anemia with pericardial and bilateral plural effusions. As a diagnosis of exclusion augmented by the acuity of such clinical event, observed concomitantly with the administration of the prophylaxis protocol, the suspicion of G‑CSF-induced SCLS was established. Consequently, G‑CSF was discontinued and treatment with dexamethasone and intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) was started. The patient's condition improved significantly illustrated by hemodynamic stability in addition to improvement regarding the anasarca, hypoalbuminemia, and anemia. Follow-up scans suggest resolution of the pericardial and plural effusions. Conclusion SCLS remains a serios and potentially fatal complication of G‑CSF administration which should be taken into consideration, since such medication is widely utilized in oncology wards.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) is characterized by the leakage of large amounts of fluid and plasma proteins into the interstitial space, resulting in hypoalbuminemia, hypovolemic shock, elevated blood concentration, systemic progressive edema, and multiple serosal cavity effusion. Clinical syndromes such as cavity effusion pose a grave threat to the life and health of the patient.
CASE SUMMARY A 58-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital after being in a coma for 6 h following accidental ingestion of a pesticide. She was treated with phencyclidine hydrochloride and pralidoxime iodide for detoxification, mechanical ventilation to maintain oxygen supply, continuous renal replacement therapy to maintain the internal environment, and hemoperfusion to promote the excretion of toxins. She also received a transfusion of red blood cells and massive fluid resuscitation. However, her blood pressure was not maintained. The patient was diagnosed with CLS due to pesticide poisoning. Oxygenation was difficult to maintain under full ventilator support; therefore, veno-venous-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) treatment was given 13 h after admission. Her oxygenation level improved, but a large amount of ascites and pleural effusion soon became apparent. We continued drainage with an indwelling drainage tube, and the ECMO flow stabilized. The leakage gradually decreased, and ECMO was discontinued 3 d later. On the 6th day, the patient recovered from unconsciousness, but on gastroscopic evaluation, severe erosions were found in her entire stomach. With the family’s consent, treatment was stopped, and the patient was discharged from the hospital on the 7th day.
CONCLUSION ECMO, liquid resuscitation and management, and improvement in plasma colloidal osmotic pressure, circulation, and tissue oxygen supply are crucial in treating CLS.

Abstract
Cytokine release syndrome with rituximab has been reported in certain diseases, however, it is rarely reported in MS patients treated with rituximab. The treating physician should suspect the syndrome when typical signs and symptoms appear.
