    MR 4log and low levels of NK cells are associated with higher molecular relapse after imatinib discontinuation: Results of a prospective trial
    (2021) SEGURO, Fernanda S.; MACIEL, Felipe V. R.; SANTOS, Fernanda M.; ABDO, Andre N. R.; PEREIRA, Thales D. M.; NARDINELLI, Luciana; ROCHA, Vanderson; BENDIT, Israel
    Background: Treatment-free survival (TFS) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a new goal. This prospective study aims to evaluate imatinib discontinuation's feasibility and safety in patients with deep molecular response MR4 (BCR-ABL1 < 0.01 % IS). Methods: Study was approved by the ethical committee and registered at Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03239886). Incluision criteria were: age >= 18y, chronic phase, first-line imatinib for 36 months, MR4 for 12 months, no previous transplant or resistance. Imatinib was resumed when two samples confirmed the loss of MMR. The primary endpoint was molecular recurrence-free survival (MRFS) at 24 months. Lymphocyte subpopulations were counted in peripheral blood before discontinuation. Results: 31 patients were included from Dec/2016 until Oct/2017. Median age was 54years, 58 % male, 58 % low Sokal, 65 % b3a2 transcripts, and 61 % were in MR4.5. Imatinib therapy's median time was 9.7y (3-14.9 y), median time of MR4 was 6.9y (1.6-10.3y). MRFS at 24 months was 55 % (95 % CI 39-75). Thirteen patients relapsed, 46 % after six months of discontinuation, and all patients recovered MMR. Median time to recover MMR was one month. MR4.5 was the only factor associated with MRFS. NK cells proportion at baseline was lower in patients with only MR4 who relapsed after discontinuation. Conclusion: With a median duration of sustained MR4 above five years, as recommended by most TKI discontinuation guidelines, the TFS was similar to previous studies. Only MR4.5 was associated with lower risk of relapse. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether patients with only MR4 and low NK cell levels are suitable for discontinuation.

    Systemic amyloidosis journey from diagnosis to outcomes: a twelve-year real-world experience of a single center in a middle-income country
    (2022) SZOR, Roberta Shcolnik; FERNANDES, Fabio; LINO, Angelina Maria Martins; MENDONCA, Leonardo Oliveira; SEGURO, Fernanda Salles; FEITOSA, Valkercyo Araujo; CASTELLI, Jussara Bianchi; JORGE, Lecticia Barbosa; ALVES, Lucas Bassolli de Oliveira; NEVES, Precil Diego Miranda de Menezes; SOUZA, Evandro de Oliveira; CAVALCANTE, Livia Barreira; MALHEIROS, Denise; KALIL, Jorge; MARTINEZ, Gracia Aparecida; ROCHA, Vanderson
    Background: Systemic amyloidosis is caused by the deposition of misfolded protein aggregates in tissues, leading to progressive organ dysfunction and death. Epidemiological studies originate predominantly from high-income countries, with few data from Latin America. Due to the non-specific clinical manifestations, diagnosing amyloidosis is often challenging and patients experience a long journey and delay in diagnosis. This study aimed to assess clinical and laboratory characteristics, the diagnostic journey, and outcomes of patients with biopsy-proven systemic amyloidosis diagnosed between 2009 and 2020 at a university referral center in a middle-income Latin American country. Patients' medical records were retrospectively reviewed. Results: One hundred and forty-three patients were included. The median age at diagnosis was 60 years and 54% were male. Until the diagnosis, most of the patients (52%) were seen by at least 3 specialists, the main ones being: general practitioners (57%), nephrologists (45%), and cardiologists (38%). The most common manifestations were renal (54%) and cardiac (41%) disorders, and cachexia was seen in 36% of patients. In 72% of the cases, & GE; 2 biopsies were required until the final diagnosis. The median time from symptoms onset to diagnosis was 10.9 months, and most patients (75%) had & GE; 2 organs involved. The following subtypes were identified: AL (68%), ATTR (13%), AA (8%), AFib (4%), and inconclusive (7%). Median OS was 74.3 months in the non-AL subgroup and 18.5 months in AL. Among AL patients, those with advanced cardiac stage had the worst outcome [median OS 8.6 months versus 52.3 for stage III versus I-II, respectively (p < 0.001)]. AL subtype, cardiac involvement, and ECOG & GE; 2 were identified as independent risk factors for reduced survival. Conclusions: Systemic amyloidosis is still an underdiagnosed condition and the delay in its recognition leads to poor outcomes. Medical education, better diagnostic tools, improvement in access to therapies, and establishment of referral centers may improve patient outcomes in middle-income countries.

    Risk factors and incidence of thrombosis in a Brazilian cohort of patients with Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms
    (2020) SEGURO, Fernanda Salles; TEIXEIRA, Larissa Lane Cardoso; ROSA, Lidiane Ines da; SILVA, Wellington Fernandes da; NARDINELLI, Luciana; BENDIT, Israel; ROCHA, Vanderson
    Few data are available regarding epidemiology and outcomes of Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) in Latin America. Therefore, current models for MPN treatment are based in large cohorts of patients from Europe and North America. In this paper, we conducted a retrospective study to evaluate thrombotic and bleeding events in a cohort of patients with MPN from a reference center in Brazil. A total of 334 patients were included, being essential thrombocythemia the most common diagnosis. Here, we found that 41% of the MPN patients had a thrombotic event prior to the diagnosis. Thrombosis was more frequent in patients under 60 years-old. In a multivariable model, only JAK2 V617F mutation (OR 2.57 95% CI 1.58-4.18, p < 0.001) and presence of two cardiovascular risk factors (OR 1.90 95% CI 1.21-2.98, p < 0.005) were significant for thrombosis. The risk of thrombosis was similar among all subtypes of MPN. Cumulative incidence of thromboembolic event at 5 years from diagnosis was 5.8% (95% CI 3.5-8.9), which is similar to previous studies. The high incidence of thromboembolic events in younger patients suggests that socioeconomic disparities might have a role in the outcomes of MPN

    Multiple myeloma and Chagas disease: qPCR as a marker forpreemptive antiparasitic therapy: a case reports series and review
    (2024) CARVALHO, Noemia Barbosa; FREITAS, Vera Lucia Teixeira de; SEGURO, Fernanda Salles; BEZERRA, Rita Cristina; FATOBENE, Giancarlo; NAKANISHI, erika Yoshie Shimoda; VISNADI, Helena; MARTINEZ, Gracia; BATISTA, Marjorie Vieira; ROCHA, Vanderson; DULLEY, Frederico Luis; COSTA, Silvia Figueiredo; SHIKANAI-YASUDA, Maria Aparecida
    Multiple myeloma (MM) associated with Chagas disease is rarely described. This disease and its therapy suppress T cell and macrophage functions and increase regulatory T cell function, allowing the increase of parasitemia and the risk of Chagas Disease Reactivation (CDR). We aimed to analyze the role of conventional (cPCR) and quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) for prospective monitoring of T. cruzi parasitemia, searching for markers of preemptive antiparasitic therapy in MM patients with Chagas disease. Moreover, we investigated the incidence and management of hematological diseases and CDR both inside and outside the transplant setting in the MEDLINE database. We found 293 studies and included 31 of them. Around 1.9-2.0% of patients with Chagas disease were reported in patients undergoing Stem Cell Transplantation. One case of CDR was described in eight cases of MM and Chagas disease. We monitored nine MM and Chagas disease patients, seven under Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT), during 44.56 +/- 32.10 months (mean +/- SD) using parasitological methods, cPCR, and qPCR. From these patients, three had parasitemia. In the first, up to 256 par Eq/mL were detected, starting from 28 months after ASCT. The second patient dropped out and died soon after the detection of 161.0 par Eq/mL. The third patient had a positive blood culture. Benznidazole induced fast negativity in two cases; followed by notably lower levels in one of them. Increased T. cruzi parasitemia was related to the severity of the underlying disease. We recommend parasitemia monitoring by qPCR for early introduction of preemptive antiparasitic therapy to avoid CDR.

    Salvage treatment for refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia: a 10-year single-center experience
    (2020) SILVA, Wellington Fernandes da; ROSA, Lidiane Ines da; SEGURO, Fernanda Salles; SILVEIRA, Douglas Rafaele Almeida; BENDIT, Israel; BUCCHERI, Valeria; VELLOSO, Elvira Deolinda Rodrigues Pereira; ROCHA, Vanderson; REGO, Eduardo M.
    OBJECTIVES: The outcomes of refractory and relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in developing countries are underreported, even though the similar classic regimens are widely used. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective comparison of ""MEC"" (mitoxantrone, etoposide, and cytarabine) and ""FLAG-IDA"" (fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin, and filgrastim) in adults with first relapse or refractory AML. RESULTS: In total, 60 patients were included, of which 28 patients received MEC and 32 received FLAG-IDA. A complete response (CR) rate of 48.3% was observed. Of the included patients, 16 (27%) died before undergoing bone marrow assessment. No statiscally significant difference in CR rate was found between the two protocols (p=0.447). The median survival in the total cohort was 4 months, with a 3-year overall survival (OS) rate of 9.7%. In a multivariable model including age, fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) status, and stem-cell transplantation (SCT), only the last two indicators remained significant: FLT3-ITD mutation (hazard ratio [HR] =4.6, p< 0.001) and SCT (HR=0.43, p=0.01). CONCLUSION: In our analysis, there were no significant differences between the chosen regimens. High rates of early toxicity were found, emphasizing the role of supportive care and judicious selection of patients who are eligible for intensive salvage therapy in this setting. The FLT3-ITD mutation and SCT remained significant factors for survival in our study, in line with the results of previous studies.
