All in for ALL Mitigating VOD Risk in Patients Being Treated for R/R ALL
University of Mississippi Medical Center
Historically, the prognosis of relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has been poor with median overall survival (OS) of only 6 months and cure rates of less than 10%, even with intensive salvage chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). (Samra, 2020) However, with the advent of new and revolutionary therapies, including a CD22-directed antibody drug conjugate inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO), outcomes for patients have improved exponentially. (Samra, 2020) Yet while InO is highly active, it has a unique hepatotoxicity profile, including a higher risk of veno-occlusive disease (VOD) in recipients of HSCT. (Kebriaei, 2018) For this reason, effective patient management must include evaluation and management of the important AEs associated with this therapy, with a focus on diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, and management of VOD.
