Clinical Roundtable Monograph: Unmet Needs in the Management of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

Elias J. Jabbour, MD, Dale Bixby, MD, PhD, and Luke P. Akard, MD

Abstract: Approximately 5,000 cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) are diagnosed each year in the United States. The introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has dramatically improved survival time for many CML patients. Current first-line treatment options include imatinib and the second-generation agents nilotinib and dasatinib. Second- and third-line agents include nilotinib, dasatinib, bosutinib, and the new agent ponatinib. Despite the effectiveness of TKIs, some patients develop resistance or intolerance to these agents. A number of mutations of the BCR-ABL gene have been identified and are associated with TKI resistance. Patients may benefit from switching to a second-line TKI, undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant, or receiving newly emerging agents. Although early response is associated with improved patient outcome, clinicians lack tests that can determine which patients will benefit from which therapies. To ensure adequate response, patients should be monitored by both polymerase chain reaction and cytogenetic analysis of the bone marrow. This roundtable monograph reviews key unmet needs in patients with CML related to disease management and treatment options.

Clinical Roundtable Monograph: Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria: A Case-Based Discussion

Jeff Szer, MBBS, FRACP, Anita Hill, MBChB (Hons), MRCP, FRCPath, PhD, and Ilene Ceil Weitz, MD

Abstract: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare, acquired disorder characterized by chronic intravascular hemolysis as the primary clinical manifestation and morbidities that include anemia, thrombosis, renal impairment, pulmonary hypertension, and bone marrow failure. The prevalence of the PNH clone (from <1–100% PNH granulocytes) is approximately 16 per million, and careful monitoring is required. The average age of onset of the clinical disease is the early 30s, although it can present at all ages. PNH is caused by the acquisition of a somatic mutation of the gene phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor (PIG-A) in a multipotent hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), with clonal expansion of the mutated HSC. The mutation causes a deficiency in the synthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI). In cells derived from normal HSCs, the complement regulatory proteins CD55 and CD59 are anchored to the hematopoietic cell membrane surface via GPI, protecting the cells from complement-mediated lysis. However, in patients with PNH, these 2 proteins, along with numerous other GPI-linked proteins, are absent from the cell surface of red cells, granulocytes, monocytes, and platelets, resulting in complement-mediated intravascular hemolysis and other complications. Lysis of red blood cells is the most obvious manifestation, but as other cell lineages are also affected, this complement-mediated attack contributes to additional complications, such as thrombosis. Eculizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against the C5 complement protein, is the only effective drug therapy for PNH patients. The antibody prevents cleavage of the C5 protein by C5 convertase, in turn preventing generation of C5b-9 and release of C5a, thereby protecting from hemolysis of cells lacking the CD59 surface protein and other complications associated with complement activation. Drs. Ilene C. Weitz, Anita Hill, and Jeff Szer discuss 3 recent cases of patients with PNH.

Clinical Roundtable Monograph: Emerging Treatment Options for TKI-Resistant Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

Jorge Cortes, MD, Jerald Radich, MD, and Michael J. Mauro, MD

Abstract: The development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that inhibit signaling of the constitutive BCR-ABL protein revolutionized the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). These agents have dramatically changed the treatment landscape for CML, shifting the use of allogeneic stem cell transplantation to selected patients in the salvage setting. Four BCR-ABL TKIs are now commercially available for the treatment of CML: the first-generation TKI imatinib, and the second-generation TKIs dasatinib, nilotinib, and bosutinib. Continuous treatment with these agents induces durable responses in a high proportion of patients with chronic-phase CML. Research is focused on identifying which patients can discontinue therapy without a recurrence of disease. For the group of patients with resistance to TKIs, multiple alternative therapies are being evaluated. The third-generation TKI ponatinib is a BCR-ABL inhibitor that has demonstrated significant activity, including in patients with the TKI resistance mutation T315I. The homoharringtonine derivative omacetaxine mepesuccinate, which inhibits protein synthesis, has also demonstrated clinical activity in CML, including in patients with TKI resistance due to T315I and in patients who have TKI resistance despite no evidence of ABL mutations. It is essential that clinicians implement these new agents with care and change therapies only when appropriate in order to preserve as many options as possible for future use if needed.

Clinical Roundtable Monograph: Recent Advances in Taxanes for the First-Line Treatment of Advanced Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer

Mark A. Socinski, MD, Ramaswamy Govindan, MD, and David Spigel, MD

Abstract: Treatments for non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are based on the broad categories of squamous or non-squamous histology. Frontline treatment options include pemetrexed and cisplatin, pemetrexed and a taxane, gemcitabine with cisplatin, and the addition of bevacizumab to a taxane and carboplatin. Pemetrexed is used for maintenance therapy for non-squamous NSCLC, whereas patients with squamous NSCLC lack easy options for maintenance therapy. nab®-Paclitaxel overcomes the solubility and toxicity issues of solvent- based paclitaxel, and the albumin in nab-paclitaxel improves the concentration of the drug in the tumor. A recent phase III trial in NSCLC compared nab-paclitaxel with carboplatin versus solvent-based paclitaxel with carboplatin, and found improved overall response rates (ORRs) in the nab-paclitaxel arm (33% vs 25%; P=.005). In a subset analysis, NSCLC patients with squamous histology had a higher ORR (41%) with nab-paclitaxel than with solvent-based paclitaxel (24%; P<.001). Another subset analysis found that patients ages 70 years and older had improved overall survival (median 19.9 months) with nab-paclitaxel compared with solvent-based paclitaxel (median 10.4 months; P=.009). Patients in the nab-paclitaxel arm had less neuropathy, less hearing loss, and fewer interruptions in daily living than patients in the solvent-based paclitaxel arm.

Clinical Roundtable Monograph: Antibody-Drug Conjugate Technology Development for Hematologic Disorders

Neil H. Bander, MD, Myron S. Czuczman, MD, and Anas Younes, MD

Abstract: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) combine cytotoxic chemotherapy and antibody specificity. There are 4 components of ADC technology: the cancer, or target, antigen; the antibody to that target; the linker that connects the drug to the antibody; and the drug itself. The antibody directs the cytotoxic agent to the tumor cell, thereby diminishing the side effect profile of the cytotoxic agent and enabling delivery of a more potent therapeutic because of the ability to control the target and the side effects. ADC technology has vastly improved within the last several years. In early ADCs, the linkers were too labile, which led to the release of free drug in the circulation and consequent off-target toxicity. In the current generation of ADCs, the linkers are more stable, and the cytotoxic agents are significantly more potent. ADCs have been developed against a variety of antigens and receptors, including CD19, CD22, and CD30, and have been linked to multiple different cytotoxic agents, including calicheamicin and maytansinoid derivatives. The ADC brentuximab vedotin was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma after failure of autologous stem cell transplant or at least 2 prior multiagent chemotherapy regimens, and the treatment of patients with systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma after failure of at least 1 prior multiagent chemotherapy regimen. Other ADCs in clinical trials for hematologic disorders include inotuzumab ozogamicin, SAR3419, and gemtuzumab ozogamicin.

Clinical Roundtable Monograph: Disease State Awareness in Gaucher Disease: A Q&A Expert Roundtable Discussion

Pramod K. Mistry, MBBS, PhD, FRCP, MA, Joel A. Weinthal, MD, and Neal J. Weinreb, MD, FACP

Abstract: Gaucher disease is an inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the gene that encodes the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase. Inadequate enzymatic activity causes cells to become engorged due to an accumulation of glycolipids. Engorged cells then accumulate in various organs, resulting in a range of signs and symptoms. Gaucher disease occurs worldwide but is more common among individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. Approximately 90% of patients with Gaucher disease have non-neuronopathic (type 1) disease, which is characterized by hematologic sequelae, potentially disabling skeletal complications, and late-onset neurologic complications. The other 2 subtypes of Gaucher disease cause neuronopathic disease, with early involvement of the central nervous system. Type 2 Gaucher disease results in death in infancy, while type 3 disease causes variable neurologic manifestations ranging from minimal ocular effects to seizures, ataxia, and cognitive regression. Because of its relative rarity, Gaucher disease often remains misdiagnosed or undiagnosed for some time. However, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for reducing the risk of complications, improving quality of life, and avoiding inappropriate procedures. Given the prevalence of hematologic manifestations associated with this condition, patients with undiagnosed Gaucher disease may seek treatment from hematologists or oncologists. Therefore, hematology and oncology clinicians need to be aware of the potential for Gaucher disease and consider it in their differential diagnosis.

Clinical Roundtable Monograph: Cases in the Management of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Integrating Updated Guidelines into Clinical Practice

Steven M. Grunberg, MD, Gary R. Morrow, PhD, MS, and Lee S. Schwartzberg, MD, FACP

Abstract: Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is one of the most significant side effects of cancer treatment, impacting patients’ quality of life and treatment compliance and potentially necessitating changes in patients’ therapy. The optimal strategy for CINV management is prophylaxis; in fact, prevention of CINV—rather than management—is one of the major treatment paradigm changes that has occurred in recent decades. This knowledge, as well as a better understanding of the emetogenic potential of various chemotherapeutic agents and the varying risk factors associated with CINV, has led to major improvements in CINV prophylaxis. Several evidence-based guidelines now exist to guide clinicians regarding the best regimens for CINV prevention, and these guidelines have recently been updated to reflect the publication of major clinical trials and the approval of new agents. Incorporating these guidelines into clinical practice can provide clinicians with an excellent starting point for CINV management, but clinicians must also be familiar with the evidence upon which the guidelines are based in order to alter antiemetic regimens as needed for individual patients. Additionally, clinicians should understand many of the special considerations related to CINV, such as the fact that chemotherapy-induced nausea is actually more frequent than chemotherapy-induced vomiting. Finally, several nontraditional therapies are available as alternative strategies for patients who do not benefit from currently approved antiemetic agents.

Clinical Roundtable Monograph: Recent Advances in Radioimmunotherapy in the Treatment of Follicular Lymphoma

Stephanie A. Gregory, MD, Mark S. Kaminski, MD, and John M. Pagel, MD, PhD

Abstract: Follicular lymphoma is the second most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the most common indolent lymphoma. It often presents at an advanced stage. Major advances have occurred in the therapy of all B-cell lymphomas with the approval in 1997 of the monoclonal antibody rituximab. However, in general, the disease is not curable. The disease is heterogeneous and there is no standard of care; therefore, therapy should be individualized. One needs to look at both patient and disease characteristics. In the asymptomatic patient with low tumor burden, “watch and wait” is an appropriate choice. However, patients with high tumor burden or symptoms require immediate therapy, usually with chemoimmunotherapy or, on occasion, monotherapy with rituximab. Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) has been used with very promising results as a single agent for frontline treatment; however, single-agent RIT in the upfront setting should be used only as part of a clinical trial. Relapsed disease, likewise, has many options for therapy, but RIT is an effective treatment, especially if used early before the patient has been treated with many regimens. The radioimmunotherapeutics 131I-tositumomab and 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan are approved to treat relapsed and refractory lymphoma. RIT has achieved prolonged remissions, which are more likely when patients are treated early rather than as last-line treatment. RIT has also been used as part of the preparative regimen for stem cell transplantation. The 2 main approaches for RIT and stem cell transplantation involve nonablative doses of radiolabeled antibodies combined with high-dose chemotherapy, or high doses of radiolabeled antibodies consisting of myeloablative doses of either 131I-tositumomab or 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan combined with high-dose chemotherapy.

Clinical Roundtable Monograph: Emerging Treatment Options for Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma: A Post-ASH Discussion

David S. Siegel, MD, PhD, Sundar Jagannath, MD, and Ruben Niesvizky, MD

Abstract: Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematologic malignancy. Almost all patients who survive initial treatment will eventually relapse and require further therapy. Despite the availability of newer drugs such as bortezomib and lenalidomide, patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma continue to have very limited treatment options and a restricted life expectancy. Several agents that have shown promise in treating relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients are currently in phase III clinical trials. Some of these novel agents work through new mechanisms, whereas others represent the next generation of existing medications. Agents with acceptable efficacy and low toxicity are better suited for relapsed patients who receive consecutive therapies. Moreover, agents with new mechanisms may be judiciously combined with existing agents to avoid overlapping toxicities.
