Extracorporeal Photopheresis in Pediatric and Adult Patients with Graft-Versus-Host Disease.

Background/Objectives: Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a severe complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) resulting from histocompatibility differences between donor and host cells leading to inflammation, tissue damage, and compromised patient outcome. Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is considered as a second-line treatment administered to patients with GVHD who do not respond to corticosteroid treatment or who experience a relapse after an initial response and are therefore classified as steroid refractory (SR). The aim of this study is to evaluate

Novel Molecular Therapies and Genetic Landscape in Selected Rare Diseases with Hematologic Manifestations: A Review of the Literature.

Rare diseases affect less than 1 in 2000 people and are characterized by a serious, chronic, and progressive course. Among the described diseases, a mutation in a single gene caused mastocytosis, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, Gaucher disease, and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (KIT, ADAMTS13, GBA1, and PIG-A genes, respectively). In Castleman disease, improper ETS1, PTPN6, TGFBR2, DNMT3A, and PDGFRB genes cause the appearance of symptoms. In histiocytosis, several mutation variants are described: BRAF, MAP2K1, MAP3K1, ARAF, ERBB3, NRAS, KRAS, PICK1, PIK3R2, and PIK3CA. Genes like H

Extracorporeal photopheresis vs standard therapies for steroid-refractory chronic graft-vs-host disease: Pharmacoeconomic assessment of hospital resource use in Spain.

BackgroundThis study assessed pharmacoeconomic costs associated with extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) compared with other available second-line therapies for chronic graft-vs-host disease (cGvHD) in a tertiary Spanish institution.MethodsPatients (≥18 years) diagnosed with steroid-refractory cGvHD were eligible. Data were collected retrospectively from index date until 1 year or relapse. Patients were distributed in two cohorts (ECP vs non-ECP), matched by age (≤ or > 40), hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HLA-identical sibling donor or other) and number of previous immunosuppressive lines

Effective Extracorporeal Photopheresis of Patients with Transplantation Induced Acute Intestinal GvHD and Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome.

Background: Patients with steroid-refractory intestinal acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) and bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) represent a population with a high need for alternative and effective treatment options. Methods: We report real-life data from 18 patients treated with extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP). This cohort consisted of nine patients with steroid-refractory intestinal aGvHD and nine patients with BOS. Results: We document partial or complete clinical response and reduction of symptoms in half of the patients with intestinal acute GvHD and patients with BOS treat

Skin-Directed Therapies in Mycosis Fungoides: An Update.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common subtype of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), characterized by monoclonal proliferation of malignant T cells primarily involving the skin. The management of MF, especially in the early stages, involves skin-directed therapies (SDTs) to achieve disease control, alleviate symptoms, and enhance the quality of life (QoL). This review provides an updated overview of SDTs in MF treatment, including topical agents such as corticosteroids, retinoids, mechlorethamine, carmustine, imiquimod, as well as photodynamic therapy (PDT); phototherapy modalities including

… PUVA in MF Treatment PUVA utilizes UV radiation at wavelengths ranging from 320 to 340 nm in combination with topical or systemic psoralen—8-methoxypsoralen or 5-methoxypsoralen [ 39 ]. PUVA penetrates deeper into tissue; thus, it is effective in patients with thick plaques. …

Extracorporeal photopheresis alone or in combination with ruxolitinib for the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease.

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) is a major cause of morbidity after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Ruxolitinib (RUX) is a standard second-line treatment for steroid-refractory or -dependent cGvHD, while extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP), an autologous cell-based immunomodulatory procedure, is also widely used. However, comparative real-world data on combined immunomodulation with the RUX-ECP combination are scarce. We conducted a retrospective single-center analysis of patients with steroid-refractory or -dependent cGvHD receiving RUX-ECP (n=30) or ECP alone (n=

Safety and Efficacy of Extracorporeal Photopheresis for Acute and Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease.

Background/Objectives: Despite novel biological agents, steroid-dependent or -refractory graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) remains a severe complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is an alternative, non-immunosuppressive treatment for patients with acute (aGvHD) or chronic (cGvHD) GvHD. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of ECP in the treatment of acute and chronic GvHD; Methods: We prospectively studied 112 patients with cGvHD who received one or more previous lines of treatment and 28 patients w

Biological Therapy for Psoriasis in Cancer Patients: An 8-Year Retrospective Real-Life Study.

Background: It is now recognized that psoriasis plays a key role in the development of several comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. Some authors have hypothesized that patients with psoriasis may have an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer. The efficacy and safety of biologic drugs are well-documented in clinical trials and in real-life studies. However, there is limited evidence on the safety of the use of biologic treatments in cancer patients with psoriasis, and the use of this therapeutic class in patients with a pre-existing or concomitan

Acute myeloid leukemia: from NGS, through scRNA-seq, to CAR-T. dissect cancer heterogeneity and tailor the treatment.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant blood cancer with marked cellular heterogeneity due to altered maturation and differentiation of myeloid blasts, the possible causes of which are transcriptional or epigenetic alterations, impaired apoptosis, and excessive cell proliferation. This neoplasm has a high rate of resistance to anticancer therapies and thus a high risk of relapse and mortality because of both the biological diversity of the patient and intratumoral heterogeneity due to the acquisition of new somatic changes. For more than 40 years, the old gold standard "one size fits all"

Research progress in inducing immunogenic cell death of tumor cells.

Immunogenic cell death (ICD) is a regulated cell death (RCD) pathway. In response to physical and chemical signals, tumor cells activate specific signaling pathways that stimulate stress responses in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and expose damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), which promote antitumor immune responses. As a result, the tumor microenvironment is altered, and many tumor cells are killed. The ICD response in tumor cells requires inducers. These inducers can be from different sources and contribute to the development of the ICD either indirectly or directly. The combinati

Evolving Paradigms in Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease: From Global Immunosuppression to Precision Targeted and Cell-Based Therapies.

Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a well-established treatment for a range of medical conditions. However, the procedure carries with it a significant risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD), which can have a considerable impact on patients’ quality of life and clinical outcomes. In recent years, there has been a marked shift in treatment strategies for this condition, with greater emphasis being placed on novel targeted therapies and cell therapies that target specific pathways. This shift in approach signifies a more profound comprehension of the pa
