    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In einer multizentrischen „open label“ Studie mit IFN-α2b wurden 85 Patienten mit Haarzell-Leukämie behandelt und ausgewertet. Die Induktionsbehandlung bestand in 2 × 106 E IFN-α2b/m2, 3 × wöchentlich, s.c. Die Ergebnisse zeigen die hohe Effektivität der Substanz, wobei unter den verwendeten Dosierungen geringe, gut tolerierbare und passagere Nebenwirkungen im Sinne eines grippeähnlichen Syndroms auftraten. Die Prozentzahl der Remissionen (CR + PR + MR) nach sechsmonatiger Behandlungszeit lag bei 89%, der Anteil von CR betrug 4%, von PR 69%. An einer kleinen Gruppe (4 Patienten) wurde nach Erzielen einer CR oder PR der Effekt unterschiedlicher Formen der Erhaltungstherapie getestet. Die bisherigen, statistisch noch nicht auswertbaren Resultate sprechen dafür, daß bei Auftreten eines Rückfalles nach Aussetzen oder Verringerung der IFN-Dosis (3 × 106 I.E., s.c., 1 × wöchentlich) durch Wiedereinsetzen oder Erhöhung von IFN-α2 neuerlich Remissionen erzielt werden können. Zur Erhaltung der Remissionen dürfte eine IFN-Dauertherapie notwendig sein. Mittels eines Kurzzeit in vitro Tests werde der Effekt von Interferon α2 auf die Inkorporation von H3-Thymidin und H3-Uridin in Haarzellen bestimmt. Für beide Präkursoren ergab sich keine Hemmung des Einbaues. Allerdings zeigte eine Langzeitinkubation (48 h) einen signifikant vermehrten H3-Uridin Einbau, während der H3-Thymidin Einbau unbeeinflußt blieb. Diese Resultate sprechen gegen einen unmittelbaren antiproliferativen Effekt von IFN-α2 auf Haarzellen, sie weisen aber auf eine Induktion der RNS-Synthese hin. Eine Zellmarker-Analyse der Haarzellen mit monoklonalen Antikörpern vor und während einer 7tägigen in vitro Behandlung mit IFN-α2 ergab keine Änderung des Phänotyps, so daß eine differenzierende Wirkung des IFN auf Haarzellen nicht beobachtet werden konnte.
    Notes: Summary Eighty-five patients with hairy-cell leukemia were treated in a multicentric “open label” study with IFN-α2b and evaluated. Induction therapy was 2 × 106 U IFN-α2b/m2, 3 times a week, s.c. The results show this regimen to be highly effective with only a few tolerable and transient side effects consisting mainly of flu-like symptoms. After 6 months of therapy 4% CR, 69% PR, and 16% MR, were noted. In a small group of four patients who had achieved CR or PR, we tested the effect of varying doses for maintenance therapy. Our preliminary results indicate that a relapse caused by interruption of IFN therapy or dose reduction to 3 × 106 U given once a week, o.c. could be successfully treated by readministration, or escalating the dosage of IFN. It seems that remission maintenance requires long-term treatment with IFN. In a short-term in vitro test we studied the effect of IFN-α2 on the incorporation of3H-thymidine and3H-uridine into hairy cells of five patients. Fort both precursors no appreciable effect was detected. However, after prolonged incubation for 48 h, a significant enhancement of3H-uridine incorporation was observed, while3H-thymidine incorporation remained unaffected. Cell marker analysis performed with monoclonal antibodies before and after incubation of hairy cells with IFN-α2 for up to 7 days did not reveal any change of the phenotype of hairy cells.

    Notes: Summary Lymphocytes of seven patients with advanced cancer were investigated for changes of blastogenic response to PHA after the addition of the new immunomodulating compound 2-[2-cyanaziridinyl-(1)]-2-[2-carbamoyl-aziridinyl-(1)]-propane (BM 12 531; prop. INN azimexon) to in vitro cultures. Concentrations of 0.2, 1, 2.5, 5, and 10 μg/ml were added to cultures. Significant changes in 3H-thymidine uptake were observed with all concentrations of BM 12 531. The most pronounced increase was observed with the concentration of 0.2 μg/ml, i.e., five of seven patients had a significantly enhanced blastogenesis response to PHA. Higher doses were effective only in some of the lymphocyte cultures, and stimulation was always lower than with 0.2 μg. These observations suggest an interaction of BM 12 531 and lymphocyte activation at a molecular level.

    Notes: Summary Based on the encouraging results obtained with extracorporeal photochemotherapy (EP) in the treatment of the exfoliative erythrodermic form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), leukemic form, as well as other T-cell-mediated diseases we evaluated the therapeutic potential of EP in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Three patients with B-CLL were treated for a period of 1 year. Two patients showed stabilization of disease, as demonstrated by reduction in their peripheral white blood cell count, with one patient showing lymph-node resolution. A third patient with significant intolerance to previous chemotherapy did not respond within the observed period. No significant side effects of EP were observed. Our observations suggest that EP may have a positive effect on the course of B-CLL in selected patients. Additional clinical trials are warranted to further define the role of EP alone or in combination therapy in the management of B-CLL.

    Notes: Abstract  This study compared two recombinant human (rh) hematopoietic growth factors in healthy volunteers for stem cell stimulation. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF,n=9) or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF,n=8) was given subcutaneously for 5 days (5 μg/kg/day). Controls (n=5) received no growth factor. Laboratory parameters and side effects were monitored for 8 days. Within 24 h, both cytokines led to a rapid increase of leukocytes, the majority of which were granulocytes. Compared with the controls (n=5), the increase on day 5 in the G-CSF/GM-CSF groups was 37-/10-fold (CD34+ cells), 5.2-/2.4-fold (leukocytes), 7.2-/3.0-fold (granulocytes), 7.4-/4.4-fold (monocytes), 1.7-/1.1-fold (lymphocytes), 9.8-/2.7-fold (basophils), 2.3-/9.6-fold (eosinophils), and 1.9-/1.6-fold (reticulocytes). The mobilization of myeloblasts, promyelocytes, myelocytes, and metamyelocytes coincided with the pronounced increase of CD34+ PBPC observed on day 4. Serum levels of uric acid (UA) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) increased under G-CSF, and platelets decreased after G-CSF discontinuation. Rash at the injection site occurred in 50% of the GM-CSF-treated volunteers. Seven volunteers in the GM-CSF group and six in the G-CSF cohort complained of flu-like symptoms, including musculoskeletal pain. We conclude that, in terms of tolerance and mobilization of CD34+ cells and leukocytes, G-CSF is superior to GM-CSF, but higher levels of UA and LDH and late decrease in platelets make monitoring of these parameters necessary.
