Salvage options for patients with relapsed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) include inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO), a recombinant, humanized anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody conjugated to the cytotoxic antibiotic calicheamicin. However, the benefit of InO in patients with dim CD22 expression remains unclear. We present a case of a patient with B-ALL who responded to InO despite only dim surface expression of CD22 by flow cytometry, achieving a survival benefit concordant with that reported in the literature and maintaining a good quality of life as a transfusion-independent outpatient. Our observation has broad relevance to clinicians who manage patients with B-ALL who are candidates for InO.

PURPOSE The nonrandom translocation t(1;19) has been associated with poor outcome in pediatric B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Because most patients treated by contemporary therapies now achieve improved outcomes, we have reassessed the prognostic significance of t(1;19). PATIENTS AND METHODS Cytogenetic data were accepted for 1,322 children (<21 years old) with newly diagnosed ALL enrolled between 1988 and 1994 on risk-adjusted studies of the Children's Cancer Group (CCG). Forty-seven patients (3.6%) were t(1;19) positive (+); 1,275 (96.4%) were t(1;19) negative (-). Clinical characteristics and treatment outcome were compared using standard methods. RESULTS Translocation (1;19)+ patients were more likely than t(1;19)- patients to be 10 years of age or greater (P < .001) or CD10+ CD19+ CD34- (P < .0001), or nonwhite (P = .02). Patients with a balanced t(1;19) were less likely to be hyperdiploid than patients with an unbalanced der(19)t(1;19). Event-free survival (EFS) was similar for the overall group of t(1;19)+ and t(1;19)- patients, with 4-year estimates of 69.5% (SD, 6.8%) and 74.8% (SD, 1.3%; P = .48), respectively. However, patients with unbalanced der(19)t(1;19) had significantly better outcomes than patients with balanced t(1;19): 4-year EFS were 80.6% (SD, 7.1%) and 41.7% (SD, 13.5%), respectively (P = .003). These differences were maintained within the individual studies analyses and after exclusion of t(1;19)+ patients whose cells were hyperdiploid with more than 50 chromosomes. CONCLUSION The overall group of t(1;19)+ patients, as well as the subgroup with an unbalanced der(19)+ (1;19) had outcomes similar to that of t(1;19)- patients, whereas patients with balanced t(1;19) had poorer outcomes. Thus, although the overall prognostic significance of t(1;19) has been obviated by contemporary risk-adjusted protocols, the balanced t(1;19) translocation remains an adverse prognostic factor.

A highly purified, 300-Kd bispecific monoclonal antibody (MoAb) heteroconjugate was prepared by covalently linking the anti-CD3 MoAb, G19.4, to the anti-CD19 MoAb, B43. Dual-color staining techniques and multiparameter flow cytometry confirmed that this alpha CD3 x alpha CD19 heteroconjugate was able to bind to both CD3+ T cells and CD19+ t(4;11) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells. T-cell-mediated lysis of freshly isolated primary bone marrow blasts from nine newly diagnosed ALL patients with a t(4;11)(q21;q23) chromosomal translocation were studied with 51Cr-release assays. Picomolar concentrations of alpha CD3 x alpha CD19 MoAb heteroconjugate effectively triggered lysis of CD19+ t(4;11) ALL cells by interleukin-2- activated CD3+ peripheral blood T-cell (PBTC) effectors but did not augment the cytolytic activity of the same effectors against CD19- T- ALL cells. In contrast to the alpha CD3 x alpha CD19 heteroconjugate, neither the alpha CD3 x alpha CD3 homoconjugate control nor the alpha CD19 x alpha CD72 heteroconjugate control facilitated the cytolysis of t(4;11) ALL blasts. Occupation of the target CD19 binding sites on t(4;11) ALL blasts by preincubation with excess unconjugated alpha CD19 MoAb abrogated the potentiating effects of the alpha CD3 x alpha CD19 heteroconjugate on PBTC-mediated cytolysis. Thus, the cell type- specific cytolysis of t(4;11) ALL blasts by PBTC effectors is dependent on both the alpha CD19 and alpha CD3 moieties of the alpha CD3 x alpha CD19 heteroconjugate. To our knowledge, this is the first description of an effective bispecific antibody that facilitates the T-cell- mediated lysis of t(4;11) ALL blasts.

Childhood Acute Leukemia

The aim of this study was to investigate distribution of immunophenotypic and cytogenetic features of childhood acute leukemia (AL) in the cohort of 239 newly diagnosed patients registered at the leading pediatric oncohematology center in the country during a six-year period (1996-2002). With approximately 60-70% of all childhood AL cases in Serbia and Montenegro being diagnosed and treated in this institution the used data represent a valid research sample to draw conclusions for entire country. On the basis of five phenotypic markers, the distribution of immunological subtypes was as follows: 169 (70.7%) expressed B-cell marker CD19 (137 were CD10 positive and 32 CD10 negative), 37 (15.5%) belonged to T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) (cyCD3 positive), and 33 (13.8%) were acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) (CD13 positive and/or CD33 positive in the absence of lymphoid-associated antigens). The ratio of males and females was 1.5:1. Most of the cases were between the ages of 2 and 4, and were predominantly B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) cases. Another peak of age distribution was observed at the age of 7. The frequency of T-ALL (18% of ALL) was similar to that reported for Mediterranean countries: France (19.4%), Greece (28.1%), Southern Italy (28.3%), and Bulgaria (28.0%). Cytogenetic analyses were performed in 193 patients: 164 ALL and 29 AML. Normal karyotype was found in 57% of ALL and in 55% of AML patients, while cytogenetic abnormalities including structural, numerical, and complex chromosomal rearrangements were found in 43% of ALL and in 45% of AML patients. Our results represent a contribution to epidemiological aspects of childhood leukemia studies.
