Considerações
• Cenários: pré-aloTMO -> antic. residuais Anti-PD1 podem
persistir
pós-aloTMO-> CTL’s do doador ativadas pelo
bloqueio do PD-1
• Os ligantes do PD-1 integram a ”auto-tolerância” e seu
bloqueio desencadeia o GVHD
• Simultaneamente, este bloqueio permite atividade GVT sem
GVHD grave

GVHD
AloTMO após uso de anti-PD1
• Inelegíveis ao ATMO ou recidiva após ATMO possuem péssimo prognóstico com mediana de sobrevida de 2 anos
• BV com altas taxas de resposta (75%), entretanto muitos irão recair ou terão utilizado BV em 1ª linha
• Nivomulab e Pembrolizumab aprovados neste contexto com ORR de ~70%
• Ainda assim, dados de estudos fases 1/2 mostram que a maioria recai após 1 a 2 anos -> aloTMO com potencial curativo

AloTMO após uso de anti-PD1
• RIC associado com 25-40% de sobrevida livre de doença
Como manejar aqueles pacientes respondedores aos anti-PD1?
• Opção 1: aloTMO para aprofundar resposta
• Opção 2: manter o anti-PD1 na esperança de sustentar resposta, sem os riscos do TMO

Haplo Post-CY and checkpoint inhibitors
• The incidence and severity of GvHD seen in
patients who received checkpoint inhibitors was
similar to that seen in pts without checkpoint
inhibitors.
• GvHD was seen in patients treated with
checkpoint inhibitors prior to alloBMT, but was
generally mild and readily controlled.
• In patients treated with checkpoint inhibitors after
alloBMT, the only case of GvHD occurred after the
patient received DLI.

• Check point inhibitors are very effective / acceptable
toxicity profile drugs for patients with relapsed /
refractory HL
• Check point inhibitors can be used “as a bridge” to
allo-HSCT as well as to treat relapses after the
procedure
• High incidence of GVHD after allo-HSCT when used
to treat disease relapse after it
• Which patients should we take to allo-HSCT? When?
…… Still more questions than answers
Anti-PD1 após aloTMO
• Modelos murinos sugerem maior mortalidade relacionada a aGVHD quando anti-PD1 administrado precocemente
• Recomendação: evitar uso de anti-PD1 até o D+180
* Se necessária a utilização, optar por baixas doses-> 0,5mg/kg • Manejo do teGVHD
1ª linha: corticoides em altas doses ( 2mg/kg)
Para os não respondedores: ATG ; inib. de calcineurina + fotoaférese

Ipilimumab in post-HCT relapse
• Phase 1/1b multicenter trial
• 28 patients enrolled, 22 receiving 10 mg/kg
• 12 pts with AML (4 with extramedullary
disease), 2 with MDS and 14 with other
hematologic malignancies.
• Overall resposes (10 mg/kg): 23% CR, 9% PR
and 27% decreased tumor burden.
• 14% developed GVHD.
Complete respose in all 4 AML pts with extramedullary relapse.
Davids et al., NEJM 2016;375:143-53. PET/CT Scan of a Patient with Extramedullary Relapse of AML in the left breast after 7 and 13 Weeks of Ipilimumab Dosing. At week 7, the size of the mass and its FDG avidity increased, possibly due to tumorflare, as with continued ipilimumab dosing by week 13 the mass had decreased significantly both in size and FDG avidity.
