126

immunotherapies share what 2 AEs?

A

cytokine release syndrome (associated iwth higher disease burden)…also neuro side effects

128
Q

inotuzumab associated with what AE?

A

-sinusoidal obstruction syndrome…higher risk in post-inotuzumab HSCT setting…high rates in kids

129
Q

management of CRS?

A

fluids, pressors, tociluzumab= anti-IL6

130
Q

features of CRS?

A

fever, myalgias, n/v, hypotension, resp insuff, renal insuff, coagulopathy

131

neurotox after CAR-T: another name?

A

CAR-T cell realted encephalopahty syndrome= CRES

132
Q

similar neurotox to CRES also seen with?

A

blina

133
Q

sign/sx of neurotox from CAR-T?

A

h/a, dysgraphia, tremor, delirum, anxiety, sz, coma, cerebral edema, death

134
Q

manage neurotox from CAR-T how?

A

supportive care, steroids

135
Q

4 prog factors relating to relapse?

A

site of relapse (BM worse than extramedullary), time to relapse (ealrier worse), age at initial dx (very poor outcome for teens who realpse), immunophenoytpic and genetic featuers (BM relapse of T-ALL has very poor outcome)

136
Q

early relapse=?

A

<18 mos; do poorly

137
Q

late realpse?

A

> 36 mos

138
Q

For CNS, give a strong perdictor of outcome

A

time to realpse…must get effective systemic therapy!! at high risk of subsequent BM relapse!

139
Q

what % of boys have isolated teseticular relapse?

A

2%

140
Q

tx testicular realpse how?

A

intensive systemic tx + 2400 cGy bilateral testicular irradiation–> otherwise high risk of contralateral testicular realpse…leads to steriliyt, so need hormone repalcement…in europe undergo orchiectomy

141
Q

how does outcome for unrelated SCT fare vs. matched sib for ALL?

A

equal

142
Q

SCT is indicated for ALL with 1st marrow relapse at what time frame?

A

<3 yrs

143
Q

there’s an increasing role for transplant for what?

A

late marrow relapse with high MRD at ned of first course of reinduction therapy

144
Q

some believe that SCT indicated for what site of release and when?

A

early CNS relapse (<18 mos)

145
Q

other than first ALL BM relapse <3 yrs, when else is SCT indicated?

A
  • 2nd relapse

- T-ALL BM relapse

146
Q

describe relative half lives for different co-stumulatory domains in car t-cells

A

4-1BB lasts longer than CD28

147
Q

for CTL-019 CARs (novartis; including 4-1BB), what was CR rate for r/r ALL? 6 month EFS? OS? durable remissions seen how far out?

A

90%; 78%; 78%…24 mos

148
Q

list 7 long term risks for survivors of ALL
