Dysregulation of the innate immune system and inflammatory-related pathways has been implicated in hematopoietic defects in the bone marrow microenvironment and associated with aging, clonal hematopoiesis, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

In the past few years, our improved knowledge of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) pathogenesis has led to the accelerated discovery of new drugs and the development of innovative therapeutic approaches. The role of the immune system in AML development, growth and recurrence has gained increasing interest. A better understanding of immunological escape and systemic tolerance induced by AML blasts has been achieved. The extraordinary successes of immune therapies that harness the power of T cells in solid tumors and certain hematological malignancies have provided new stimuli in this area of research. Accordingly, major efforts have been made to develop immune therapies for the treatment of AML patients. The persistence of leukemia stem cells, representing the most relevant cause of relapse, even after allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT), remains a major hurdle in the path to cure for AML patients. Several clinical trials with immune-based therapies are currently ongoing in the frontline, relapsed/refractory, post-allo-SCT and minimal residual disease/maintenance setting, with the aim to improve survival of AML patients. This review summarizes the available data with immune-based therapeutic modalities such as monoclonal antibodies (naked and conjugated), T cell engagers, adoptive T-cell therapy, adoptive-NK therapy, checkpoint blockade via PD-1/PD-L1, CTLA4, TIM3 and macrophage checkpoint blockade via the CD47/SIRPa axis, and leukemia vaccines.

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare autoimmune disorder caused by peripheral platelet destruction and inappropriate bone marrow production. The management of ITP is based on the utilization of steroids, intravenous immunoglobulins, rituximab, thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs), immunosuppressants and splenectomy. Recent advances in the understanding of its pathogenesis have opened new fields of therapeutic interventions. The phagocytosis of platelets by splenic macrophages could be inhibited by spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) or Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors. The clearance of antiplatelet antibodies could be accelerated by blocking the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), while new strategies targeting B cells and/or plasma cells could improve the reduction of pathogenic autoantibodies. The inhibition of the classical complement pathway that participates in platelet destruction also represents a new target. Platelet desialylation has emerged as a new mechanism of platelet destruction in ITP, and the inhibition of neuraminidase could dampen this phenomenon. T cells that support the autoimmune B cell response also represent an interesting target. Beyond the inhibition of the autoimmune response, new TPO-RAs that stimulate platelet production have been developed. The upcoming challenges will be the determination of predictive factors of response to treatments at a patient scale to optimize their management.

The detection of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) by flow cytometry: lessons learned from the validation of Multiple Myeloma MRD assay for use in multi-centric clinical trials Flow Cytometry is a complex technology that allows multiparametric measurements on high numbers of single cells from complex mixtures. Given its high-throughput, flow cytometry is a highly sensitive technique that can be used for the detection of very rare cell populations. It is of no surprise that in the clinical field of cytometry, it has become a platform of choice for the detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) in various types of leukemia. The determination of MRD in cancer patients is of great clinical interest as it can be used as a good prognostic indicator of cancer and likelihood to relapse; thus MRD detection is increasingly being proposed as a potential surrogate endpoint for clinical trials. In the recent years, Labcorp Central Laboratory Services has developed and validated highly sensitive flow cytometry assays for MRD detection in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia (CLL) and Multiple Myeloma (MM) for primary/secondary endpoint use in clinical trials. In this presentation, Christèle will review the general use of flow cytometry in MRD detection in clinical trials and will take the audience through the CAP/CLIA validation of Labcorp MM MRD flow cytometry assay.
