The inhibitory effect of carvedilol on hematopoietic regeneration after allogeneic transplantation can be overcome by transplanting larger doses of BM cells. Mice were treated with carvedilol or vehicle for 7 days before and 21 days after transplantation. We transplanted 3 × 105, 6 × 105, 12 × 105, or 24 × 105 T cell–depleted LP/J BM cells into irradiated C57BL/Ka recipients. A–K, A total of eight to 11 recipients per treatment from three independent experiments. Each dot represents a different mouse. All data represent mean ± SD. A–C, WBC (A), RBC (B), and PLT (C) counts from carvedilol-treated (right) or vehicle-treated (left) mice 21 days after transplantation. D and E, Total BM (D) and spleen (E) cellularity. F–K, The frequencies of HSCs, MPPs, and LSK cells in the BM (F–H) and spleen (I–K). L, Survival of carvedilol-treated and vehicle-treated mice after transplantation. The numbers of mice per treatment are shown in each panel. The statistical significance of differences among treatments was assessed using two-way ANOVAs followed by Sidak multiple comparison adjustments (A–F, H, I, and K), Mann–Whitney tests followed by Holm–Sidak multiple comparisons adjustments (G and J), or log-rank Mantel–Cox tests followed by Holm–Sidak multiple comparisons adjustment (L). All statistical tests were two sided.

Carvedilol treatment impairs hematopoietic regeneration in mice after syngeneic and allogeneic BM transplants. Mice were treated with nonselective β-blocker, carvedilol, or vehicle control for 7 days before BM transplantation and 21 days after transplantation. Each panel shows data from four independent experiments, and each dot represents a different mouse. All data represent mean ± SD. A–L, 6 × 105 C57BL/Ka BM cells were syngeneically transplanted into irradiated C57BL/Ka-Thy-1.2 recipients. At 21 days after transplantation, we analyzed WBC (A), RBC (B), and PLT (C) counts; BM (D) and spleen (E) cellularity; and the frequencies of HSCs, MPPs, and LSK cells in the BM (F–H) and spleen (I–K) of carvedilol-treated (red, n = 19) and vehicle-treated (black, n = 17) mice. L, Survival of carvedilol-treated (red, n = 44) and vehicle-treated (black, n = 18) mice over time after syngeneic transplantation. M–X, 6 × 105 T cell–depleted LP/J BM cells were allogeneically transplanted into irradiated C57BL/Ka-Thy-1.2 recipients. At 21 days after transplantation, we analyzed WBC (M), RBC (N), and PLT (O) counts, as well as BM (P) and spleen (Q) cellularity and the frequencies of HSCs, MPPs, and LSK cells in the BM (R–T) and spleen (U–W) of carvedilol-treated (red, n = 17) and vehicle-treated (black, n = 18) mice. X, Survival of carvedilol-treated (red, n = 44) and vehicle-treated (black, n = 20) mice over time after allogeneic transplantation. Y and Z, The number of CD41+ megakaryocytes (Y) or Gr1+ myeloid cells (Z) per field of view was counted in BM sections from carvedilol-treated (red, n = 10) and vehicle-treated (black, n = 10) mice at 13 days after transplantation. The statistical significance of differences among treatments were assessed using the Student t tests followed by Holm–Sidak multiple comparisons adjustments (A–C and M–T), matched samples two-way ANOVAs followed by Holm–Sidak multiple comparisons adjustments (D, E, I–K, Y, and Z), Student or Welch’s t tests followed by Holm–Sidak multiple comparisons adjustments (F–H), Mann–Whitney tests followed by Holm–Sidak multiple comparisons adjustments (U–W), or log-rank Mantel–Cox tests (L and X). All statistical tests were two sided.

BACKGROUND:Isocitrate dehydrogenase inhibitors (IDHi) for IDH-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are important treatment options for older adults in whom treatment-related toxicities are a major concern. Long-term data on IDHi are limited. METHODS:We conducted a single-center retrospective study of patients aged ≥ 65 years with newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory IDH-mutated AML who received ivosidenib or enasidenib for ≥ 2 continuous years and either achieved complete remission (CR) or initiated therapy in CR as maintenance. RESULTS:Nine patients were identified with median treatment duration of 6.88 years (range: 1.94-8.87). Median age at IDHi initiation was 71 years (range: 65-84); 44% were ≥ 75 years. Six patients (67%) had IDH1 mutations and 3 (33%) had IDH2 mutations. Median number of mutated genes per patient was 4 (range: 1-6). There were no mutations in the receptor tyrosine kinase pathway. Four patients began IDHi at diagnosis, 3 upon relapse, and 2 as maintenance following first CR. No differentiation syndrome occurred. Seven patients (78%) remain on IDHi and in CR; both who relapsed had antecedent myeloid neoplasms. At median follow-up of 6.88 years (range: 2.62-8.87), median event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were not reached. Five-year EFS and OS were 78% (95% CI: 55-100) and 88% (95% CI: 67-100), respectively. CONCLUSIONS:This selected real-world cohort demonstrates durable responses exceeding published benchmarks and has one of the longest follow-up periods reported for IDHi in AML. A subset of older adults with IDH-mutated AML can achieve highly durable remissions on IDHi without significant toxicity.

The use of nonselective β-blockers is an independent risk factor for delayed hematopoietic regeneration after allogeneic transplantation. The risk factor coefficients (B) for increased time to neutrophil (A) and platelet (B) engraftment among patients undergoing autologous HCT at UTSW, neutrophil (C) and PLT (D) engraftment among patients undergoing allogeneic HCT at UTSW, neutrophil (E) and PLT (F) engraftment among patients undergoing autologous HCT at Vanderbilt, and neutrophil (G) and PLT (H) engraftment among patients undergoing allogeneic HCT at Vanderbilt. A generalized linear model was used, with covariates including age, β1-selective inhibitor use, and nonselective β-blocker use for all cohorts. For patients receiving allogeneic HCT, other covariates included conditioning regimen [myeloablative conditioning (MAC) or RIC/NMA]; underlying disease [for UTSW lymphoid or myeloid, for Vanderbilt acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)]; cell dose (CD34+ cells/kg); cell source [BM or peripheral blood (PB)]; donor matching [matched related/matched unrelated donor (MRD/MUD), mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD), or haploidentical (Haplo)]; acute GvHD; and myelosuppressive GvHD treatment [methotrexate (MTX) or posttransplant Cytoxan (PTCy)]. Patients at UTSW also included splenomegaly and CMV infection as covariates, and patients at Vanderbilt included CMV serostatus (low risk = donor−/recipient−; intermediate risk = donor+/recipient+ or −; high risk = donor−/recipient+). B reflects the number of additional days required for neutrophil or PLT engraftment per unit of each predictive variable, with units being per year for age and binary (yes/no) for all other variables. B ± 95% confidence interval is shown. The dashed vertical line represents B of 0.
