B-CLL • DIAGNOSIS • PROGNOSIS • CLINICAL MANAGEMENT • MRD MONITORING • THERAPY
CLL TherapyGeneral Considerations • Treat only patients with symptomatic or progressive disease • Treatment based on biological factors not justified • Include patients in trials whenever possible • Never forget that the ultimate goal of therapy is to prolong survival • Treat the patient, not the disease
CLL TherapyIndici di attività • Sintomi B (febbre, sudorazione notturna, perdita di peso) • Insufficienza midollare (-Hb, -Plt, -Neu) • Splenomegalia progressiva • Adenomegalie progressive • LDT < 6 o 12 mesi
CLL TherapyCriteri di Risposta (NCI WG, 1996 Remissione Completa • assenza di adenopatie, splenomegalia ed epatomegalia • assenza di sintomi sistemici • linfociti inferiori a 4000/µL • neutrofili superiori o uguali a 1500/µL • piastrine superiori a 100000/ µL • Hb uguale o superiore a 11g/dL • alla biopsia osteomidollare normale cellularità e infiltrato linfatico inferiore al 30% Remissione Parziale • riduzione delle adenopatie pari o superiore al 50% • riduzione della splenomegalia o dell'epatomegalia pari o superiore al 50% • riduzione della linfocitosi pari o superiore al 50% • >più uno o più dei seguenti: • - neutrofili pari o superiori a 1500/µL, o miglioramento del 50% rispetto ai valori di base- piastrine superiori a 100000/µL o miglioramento del 50% rispetto ai valori di base- Hb superiore a 11 g/dL o miglioramento del 50% rispetto ai valori di base- assenza di sintomi sistemici Malattia Stabile • Non RP nè progressione

ANALOGHI PURINICI • Fludarabina (9-b-arabinosil-2-fluoroadenina) • 2CdA (2-cloro-2’-deossiadenosina) • dCF (2’-deossicoformicina)
MECCANISMO DI AZIONE • effetto inibitorio su enzimi implicati nella riparazione e sintesi del DNA • DNA primasi, ligasi e polimerasi • Reduttasi ribonucleotidica • danno diretto della membrana dei mitocondri • inibizione della sintesi di RNA

Alemtuzumab (anti-CD52) antibody IgG1 humanised antibody: Low immunogenicity • CD52 antigen: • Highly expressed on • all lymphocytes • monocytes and macrophages • spermatozoa • eosinophils • Not expressed on haemopoietic stem cells • Does not modulate/shed • Also expressed on the majority of malignant lymphocytes
Alemtuzumab in B-CLL with p53 mutations and deletions • Number of fludarabine-refractory pts 36 • Pts with p53 mutations or deletions 15 (42%) • Clinical responses in p53 mutated/deleted6/15 (40%) • Clinical responses in pts without 4/21 (19%) • Median duration of response 8 months - Alemtuzumab is active in CLL pts with p53 mutations or deletions Lozanski G et al, Blood,2004
CAMPATH-1H AS FIRST LINE TREATMENT OF CLL subcutaneous • patients: • number: 41; 38 evaluable for Response • age: 66 (44-75) • Rai: I: 10%; II: 21%; III: 54%; IV: 15% • B-symptoms: yes: 63%; no: 37% • therapy: • Dosis escalation from 3-10-30 mg s.c. Campath-1H in week 1; • 30 mg 3x /week s.c. (week 2 - 18) • duration: 12-18 weeks • prophylaxis: Cotrimoxazol, Acyclovir, Fluconazol Lundin et al, Blood,2002
First line treatment of CLL with CAMPATH-1H results • Response:87% (19% CR, PR 68%) • Rai stage I-II100% • <65 y 83%; > 65 y 90% • TTF: 18+ months (7 - 44+ months) • side effects: • -fever: 70% (68% Gr. 1-2; 2% Gr. 3) • -skin reactions: 90% (88% Gr. 0-II; 2% Gr. 3) • -infections: 4x CMV-reactivation, no severe bacterial infection Lundin et al,Blood, 2002
Eradication of MRD in B-CLL after alemtuzumab (ALZ) therapy is associated with prolonged survival • Patients: 91 pretreated (44 refractory to purine analogs) • Treatment: 30 mg i.v. TIW, 9 weeks • Response: 32 CR (36%), 17 PR (19%), 42 NR (46%) 22/44 (50%) refractory to PA responded • Longer median survival in MRD-negative pts • Longer TFS in MRD-negative pts, not reached; MRD+CRs, 20 months; PRs, 13 months; NR, 6 months (P<0.0001) • OS in 18 pts MRD- CR was 84% at 60 months. MRD-negative CR in CLL is achievable with ALZ, leading to an improved OS and TFS Moreton P, et al,JCO, 2005
CMV infection during alemtuzumab treatment • Monitoring for CMV • Usually fever without pneumonitis, rapidly responding to ganciclovir • Incidence: CLL ≈ 10-40% • If patient is well and CMV test is positive: • Confirm CMV test • If second CMV test is positive it is recommended that alemtuzumab is stopped and patient is treated with ganciclovir • If patient is symptomatic: • Treat at once if patient is CMV PCR positive • Perform bronchoscopy and broncho-alveolar lavage if patient is CMV PCR negative

MATERIALS AND METHODS • ZAP-70 protein TK and CD38 antigen were determined by multicolor flow cytometricmethods (Crespo et al, 2003; Del Poeta et al,2001). • A cut-off of 20% was used for ZAP-70 and CD38. • The threshold for MRD positivity was set at >5% CD19+CD5+CD79b- CLL cells in bone marrow.
FLUDARABINE AND RITUXIMAB (47/60) NCI criteria (9/60) (4/60)
CLINICAL OUTCOME I • Median follow up duration was 27 months (9/56 pts [16%] have experienced a relapse). • Median duration of CR and PR was not reached.
CLINICAL OUTCOME II • Among the 60 pts enrolled, 6 have died: 1 in CR (fulminant B hepatitis), 2 resistant to fludarabine for PD, 3 for PD after protocol therapy).
