16518 Background: Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a chronic B cell disorder that follows an indolent but progressive course. The ability of new purine analogue deoxyadenosine to induce long lasting complete remission in patients with hairy cell leukemia has revolutionized the treatment of this disease. We report the long term outcomes of patients with HCL treated in Shiraz, in south of Iran,with this drug. Methods: Between October 1993 till April 2004, 79 patients with classic symptomatic hairy cell leukemia were treated with 2-cholorodeoxy adenosine (2-CdA) with dose of 0.1 mg/kg of body weight per day by continuous intravenous infusion for 7 days. Results: sixty nine (87%) of patients achieved an initial complete response and 10 (12.6) a partial response with an overall median duration of response follow up of 78 months. Five patients had relapsed at a median of 43 months. All of 5 patients after relapse treated with second courses of 2-CdA, 4 (80%) achieved second complete responses and one (20%) partial response. In our study we had not any case of second malignancy after treatment with 2-CdA with median follow up of 82.5 months. Conclusion: This study confirms single course of 2-CdA induced long lasting complete response in the vast majority of patients. Relapse rate for complete responders were low. Patients who relapse can be successfully retreated with this drug, so we conclude 2-CdA had high efficacy and a favorable acute and long term toxicity profile in our patients in south of Iran, without any increase in risk of second malignancy.

Abstract Background Moxetumomab pasudotox is a recombinant CD22-targeting immunotoxin. Here, we present the long-term follow-up analysis of the pivotal, multicenter, open-label trial (NCT01829711) of moxetumomab pasudotox in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) hairy cell leukemia (HCL). Methods Eligible patients had received ≥ 2 prior systemic therapies, including ≥ 2 purine nucleoside analogs (PNAs), or ≥ 1 PNA followed by rituximab or a BRAF inhibitor. Patients received 40 µg/kg moxetumomab pasudotox intravenously on Days 1, 3, and 5 of each 28-day cycle for up to six cycles. Disease response and minimal residual disease (MRD) status were determined by blinded independent central review. The primary endpoint was durable complete response (CR), defined as achieving CR with hematologic remission (HR, blood counts for CR) lasting > 180 days. Results Eighty adult patients were treated with moxetumomab pasudotox and 63% completed six cycles. Patients had received a median of three lines of prior systemic therapy; 49% were PNA-refractory, and 38% were unfit for PNA retreatment. At a median follow-up of 24.6 months, the durable CR rate (CR with HR > 180 days) was 36% (29 patients; 95% confidence interval: 26–48%); CR with HR ≥ 360 days was 33%, and overall CR was 41%. Twenty-seven complete responders (82%) were MRD-negative (34% of all patients). CR lasting ≥ 60 months was 61%, and the median progression-free survival without the loss of HR was 71.7 months. Hemolytic uremic and capillary leak syndromes were each reported in ≤ 10% of patients, and ≤ 5% had grade 3–4 events; these events were generally reversible. No treatment-related deaths were reported. Conclusions Moxetumomab pasudotox resulted in a high rate of durable responses and MRD negativity in heavily pre-treated patients with HCL, with a manageable safety profile. Thus, it represents a new and viable treatment option for patients with R/R HCL, who currently lack adequate therapy.

Abstract Thirty-five evaluable patients with hairy cell leukemia (HCL) were treated with recombinant interferon alfa-2a (rIFN-alpha 2a), given at a dose of 3 X 10(6) units (U) intramuscularly (IM) daily for 6 months followed by 3 X 10(6) U IM three times a week for an additional 18 months in a single institution study. All treatment was stopped after 24 months. Sixty-nine percent of patients achieved a partial response, 11% a minor response, and 3% (one patient) had stable disease. Six patients (17%) did not respond to rIFN-alpha 2a. Two patients (6%) achieved a response but later progressed on treatment. A total of 23 patients completed 2 years of treatment and are evaluable for long-term follow-up at a median of 20 months postcompletion of therapy (range 9 to 32 months). Eleven patients (48%) have had progression of their disease at a median of 10 months (range .5 to 25 months) after treatment was discontinued. Statistical analysis of pretreatment patient characteristics did not reveal any factor(s) associated with a high probability of responding to rIFN-alpha 2a; however, analysis of post-treatment variables measured after 2 years of treatment suggested that a low platelet count was associated with a high rate of disease progression. These findings are compared with other published trials using rIFN-alpha 2b, a similar but not identical rIFN preparation. We conclude that while rIFN-alpha 2a has a high overall response incidence, the rate of disease progression after therapy is discontinued approaches 50%, and that a subset of patients can be identified who are at high risk for recurrence after completing 2 years of treatment.

Abstract Hairy cell leukemia is a chronic B-cell disorder that follows an indolent, but progressive course. Cladribine (2-chlorodeoxyadenosine) induces complete remissions in the majority of patients after a single course. We report the long-term outcomes, including response rates and their duration; time-to-treatment failure (TTF) rates; retreatment results; toxicities; and survival rates of patients treated at Scripps Clinic (La Jolla, CA). A total of 358 patients with hairy cell leukemia were treated with cladribine at 0.087 or 0.1 mg/kg body weight per day by continuous intravenous infusion for 7 days. The expected number of second neoplasms was based on the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results data. Of 349 evaluable patients, 319 (91%) achieved an initial complete response and 22 (7%) a partial response with an overall median duration of response follow-up of 52 months. Ninety patients (26%) had relapsed at a median of 29 months. The TTF rate for all 341 responders was 19% at 48 months, 16% for complete responders, and 54% for partial responders. Of 53 evaluable patients treated with second courses of cladribine at first relapse, 33 (62%) achieved complete responses and 14 (26%) partial responses. Twenty-seven patients (8%) developed second neoplasms (only 1 hematopoietic) with an observed-to-expected ratio of 1.88 (95% confidence interval, 1.24 to 2.74). The overall survival rate was 96% at 48 months. Single courses of cladribine induced long-lasting complete responses in the vast majority of patients. Relapse rates for complete responders were low. Patients who relapse can be successfully retreated with cladribine. Cladribine has high efficacy and a favorable acute and long-term toxicity profile when administered to patients with hairy cell leukemia. © 1998 by The American Society of Hematology.

2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (2-CdA), a purine analog, has become universally accepted as the agent of choice in treating hairy cell leukemia (HCL). However, few studies have reported long-term outcomes after 2-CdA treatment. Between January 1990 and June 2003, 86 consecutive patients with HCL were treated with a single 7-day course of 2-CdA by continuous infusion at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg per day. Of the 86 patients (mean age: 49 years), 67 patients (79%) achieved a complete remission (CR); 18 patients (21%) achieved a partial remission (PR); and 1 patient's response was unable to be assessed. The progression-free survival (PFS) for initial relapse after 12 years was 54%. At a median follow-up of 9.7 years (range, 0.3-13.8 years), 31 (36%) of 85 patients relapsed. There were 23 relapsed patients treated with a second cycle of 2-CdA; 2 patients were treated with alternative agents; and 6 patients were observed. Of the 23 relapsed patients retreated with 2-CdA, 12 (52%) achieved a CR and 7 (30%) patients achieved a PR (overall response rate: 83%). The overall survival (OS) rate after 12 years was 87%. There were 15 patients (17%) who developed other malignancies. Long-term follow-up of up to 14 years (median: 9.7 years) showed an excellent PFS and OS for HCL patients after 2-CdA treatment.

Long Term Follow Up

Interferon-a (IFN-a) and, more recently, nucleoside analogs (NA) such as 2-CDA and pentostatin have been used with significant success to treat HCL. A single course of 2-CDA produces response rates over 75%, with responses maintained for 4 years in 75% of pts. Similar results have been observed with pentostatin. (Dearden et al, Br J Haematol1999;106:515). To learn more about long-term outcome, we reviewed 234 pts with untreated HCL seen at the MDACC over a 30-year period; their median follow-up was 122 months from diagnosis (up to 387 months). Their median age at diagnosis was 50 years (range 23–83 years). Survival was superior among the 173 pts given either 2-CDA (n = 161) or pentostatin (n = 12) compared to those never given either NA (p = 0.042). Figure Figure Relapse occurred in 32 of 176 pts who received 2-CDA as their first chemotherapy either at MDACC or before presenting to MDACC. Therapy for relapse after 2-CDA included rituximab (N=9), a second course of 2-CDA (n=9), a second course of 2-CDA followed by rituximab (n=8), and other (n=6). No statistically significant differences in survival were seen possibly due to small pt numbers. The estimated 10-year and 20-year survival (from diagnosis) for the 176 pts who received 2-CDA as first chemotherapy was 84%, and 65%, respectively. Figure Figure The majority of pts who died were not in remission at time of death and thus presumably died of HCL. Hence alternatives to NA are needed in at least some pts, and we are evaluating whether covariates exist that might distinguish pts who do and do not relapse and, among the former, pts whose remissions are short. Pending identification of the latter and keeping in mind the length of the average remission, alternatives to NA should have very little toxicity. We have begun to add rituximab to 2-CDA to lengthen remission duration and thus extend survival in pts with untreated HCL.
