Description:
Atty. Docket No. P35320WO00 TREATMENT OF BLOOD TRANSFUSION-DEPENDENT PATIENTS WITH HEMATOLOGIC MALIGNANCIES CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No.63/418,024, filed October 20, 2022, U.S. Provisional Application No.63/484,693, filed February 13, 2023, and U.S. Provisional Application No.63/591,597, filed October 19, 2023, all of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties herein. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present disclosure relates to treatment of blood transfusion-dependent hematological malignancy patients, including patients having myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), with oxygen and carbon dioxide reduced blood. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Hematologic malignancies such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), multiple myeloma, and leukemia are increasing in prevalence in Norway as the population average age continues to increase. Collectively, hematologic malignancies refer to various disorders of the bone marrow which result in abnormal blood cell production. Leukemia consists of several malignant disorders that present with increased numbers of leucocytes in the blood and bone marrow. Multiple myeloma is characterized by uncontrolled growth of plasma cells in the bone marrow. MDS consist of bone marrow diseases associated with ineffective hematopoiesis, resulting in morphologically abnormal blood cells. See Brigle et al., “Pathobiology and Diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma,” Semin Oncol Nurs 33(3):225-236 (2017). [0004] In hematologic malignancy cases, anemia can result from the overcrowding or ineffective production of normal blood cells, leading to inadequate oxygen delivery. Patients with hematologic malignancies often require regular blood transfusions at some time during their treatment to alleviate the symptoms of severe anemia, which can include fatigue, weakness, and exacerbation of other underlying medical conditions. While treatment varies with disease severity, transfusions are given at approximately weekly intervals in intensive treatment. See Hasserjian, et al., “Syndrome Updated,” Pathobiology 86(1):7-13 (2019). In Atty. Docket No. P35320WO00 relying on stored donor RBCs to address anemia, the goal is not to rapidly rebuild a normal red cell mass, but to minimize morbidity and mortality with the lowest possible exposure. See Cannas et al., “Supportive care in patients with acute leukemia: historical perspectives,” Blood Transfus 13(2):205-220 (2015). No consensus exists on the appropriate time to commence transfusions or on the correct transfusion threshold for optimal care. Some studies show reduced survival with increased transfusion density. See Cserti-Gazdewich, “Shifting ground and gaps in transfusion support of patients with hematological malignancies,” Hematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program 2018 (1):553-560 (2018). Iron overload, a consequence of transfusion dependency, is also independently associated with poor outcomes for patients with MDS. See de Swart et al., “Impact of red blood cell transfusion dose density on progression-free survival in patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes,” Haematologica 105(3):632-639 (2020); and Sanz et al., “Independent Impact of Iron Overload and Transfusion Dependency on Survival and Leukemic Evolution in Patients with Myelodysplastic Syndrome,” Blood 112(11):640 (2008). Iron overload with organ impairment may be fatal in those who are heavily iron-overloaded. See Malcovati et al., “Time-dependent prognostic scoring system for predicting survival and leukemic evolution in myelodysplastic syndromes.” J Clin Oncol 25(23):3503-3510 (2007). Therefore, where a patient has no fatigue-induced limitation on quality of life or function at home, a more conservative approach may be preferred to avoid potential adverse effects and improve outcomes. See Gao et al., “Clinical outcomes of transfusion-associated iron overload in patients with refractory chronic anemia,” Patient Prefer Adherence 8:513-517 (2014). [0005] Here, we demonstrate for the first time that oxygen and carbon dioxide reduced, leukoreduced blood manufactured using a Hemanext ONE system may decrease the required number of RBC transfusions, increase the time between transfusions for transfusion- dependent patients, reduce the risk and occurrence of transfusion-related iron overload, and reduce adverse events in patients with hematological malignancies. SUMMARY [0006] The present specification addresses the need to develop effective treatments for blood transfusion-dependent hematological malignancy patients, including patients having myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). [0007] The present disclosure provides for, and includes, a method for reducing the blood transfusion volume for a hematologic malignancy patient in need thereof comprising Atty.

One of the infusions is with hypoxic RBCs in AS-3 produced using the Hemanext ONE process as outlined in International Publication Nos. WO 2016/145210 A1 and WO 2016/172645 A1 (incorporated herein by reference) and the other transfusion is with conventional RBCs in AS-3. The hypoxic RBCs infused have an overall higher dual-label 24 hour in vivo recovery (mean: 89.3, SD: 5.81) than the conventional RBCs (mean: 85.8, SD: 6.12). None of the participants experience any adverse events (AE) or serious adverse events (SAE) related to the use of hypoxic RBCs. EXAMLPLE 2: Treatment of Hematological Malignancy Patients [0289] Ten patents with hematological malignancies, who require transfusion of red blood cells and who fulfill eligibility criteria are enrolled in a study to test the safety of oxygen and carbon dioxide reduced and leukoreduced red blood cells for transfusion. Patients meeting the following criteria are included in the clinical investigation and undergo the informed consent process: 1. Male or female patients at least 18 years of age. 2. Patients expected to require > 2 units of red blood cells in a single transfusion event. 3. Patients who have the capacity to consent to participate and are willing to comply with the study procedures. 4. Patients identified by a transfusion hemoglobin trigger of less than 9g/dL. 5. Patients with a documented diagnosis of leukemia, myelomatosis or MDS requiring chronic transfusions. [0290] Patients meeting any of the following exclusion criteria are excluded from participation in the clinical investigation: 1. Patients with any positive antibody screening test. 2. Patients for whom consent has not been obtained. 3. Patients with a known hemolytic anemia (congenital or acquired). 4. Patients < 18 years old. 5. Patients with a known or suspected pregnancy. 6. Patients with a history of major transfusion reactions. Atty. Docket No. P35320WO00 7. Patients whom the Investigator deems clinical trial participation is not in their best interest. [0291] Patients are transfused with 2 units of hypoxic blood (i.e., oxygen reduced blood, or oxygen and carbon dioxide reduced blood) during scheduled transfusion therapy visits. The remainder of the units required for transfusion are drawn from traditionally processed red cells. Adverse events are collected from the Screening visit through either discharge, the subsequent transfusion, or Day 28, whichever comes first. See Figure 1. Patients are evaluated over five visits. The primary objective of the study is to determine the safety and tolerance of hypoxic RBCs up to 24 hours following the transfusion initiation and overall up to 7 days (+/- 1 day) after the transfusion episode (single transfusion course). The secondary objectives are as follows: 1. Assessment of pre- and post-transfusion hemoglobin levels; 2. Assessment of hemoglobin level before the subsequent transfusion, if applicable; 3. Assessment of the occurrence of adverse events (AEs): a. Up to 7 days (+/- 1 day) post transfusion, in comparison with historical control published in local registries (including but not limited to infection, deep vein thrombosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, transfusion-related acute lung injury, transfusion associated circulatory overload, anaphylactic shock, acute hemolytic transfusion reaction). b. Up to the subsequent transfusion episode or up to 28 days after the initial transfusion, whichever comes first. c. From enrollment, up to their subsequent transfusion or 28 days post-transfusion, whichever comes first, through the assessment of patient’s diary; 4. Assessment of the vital signs during and up to 15 minutes after the transfusion. [0292] The primary outcome is to determine the number of participants who experience an adverse event (all types/grades) within a time frame. Patients are monitored for adverse events throughout the entirety of their participation in the clinical investigation. Investigators monitor patients directly for adverse events during their transfusion visit. In addition, Atty. Docket No. P35320WO00 patients are contacted by phone 24 hours and 7 days (+/- 1) after a transfusion visit to record any adverse events experienced since their transfusion visit. All adverse events are recorded. [0293] Patients are monitored for adverse events throughout the entirety of their participation in the clinical investigation. Adverse events are elicited from the patients, the medical record, and an adverse event diary. Enrolled patients undergo standard care for their disease or illness as prescribed by the Investigators. All procedures are performed in compliance with the site’s established policies and work instructions. The type and the grade of each adverse event are categorized according to: 1. Association for the Advancement of Blood and Biotherapies (AABB) technical manual, 20th edition (2020); 2. Delaney et al., “Biomedical Excellence for Safer Transfusion (BEST) Collaborative.

EXAMPLE 6: Testing safety of the administration of hypoxic red blood cells to a 33- year-old patient with MDS-RS [0313] A 33-year-old female patient with MDS-RS is enrolled in the safety study for the 25 infusion of 2 units of hypoxic red blood cells processed with the Hemanext ONE system. Atty. Docket No. P35320WO00 The patient’s pre-transfusion Hb level is 8.2 g/dL, and her pre-transfusion Hct is 28%. The patient experienced an AE two days post-transfusion that was due to rhinovirus and deemed unrelated to the study device, the hypoxic blood product and study procedures by the Investigator. The patient’s post-transfusion Hb level is increased to 10.6 g/dL and her post- transfusion Hct is increased to 34%. The patient’s post-transfusion Hb and Hct levels are higher compared to older patients, e.g. patients in Examples 7, 8, and 9, indicating that age may play a role in incremental Hb increases following blood transfusions. EXAMPLE 7: Testing safety of the administration of hypoxic red blood cells to an Acute Myeloid Leukemia patient [0314] A 72-year-old male patient with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is enrolled in the safety study. The patient was transfused with 2 units of hypoxic red blood cells processed with the Hemanext ONE system. The patient’s pre-transfusion Hb level is 7.5 g/dL, and his pre-transfusion Hct is 25%. No AEs are reported post-transfusion of hypoxic blood up to the patient’s subsequent RBC transfusion (or Day 28). The patient’s post-transfusion Hb level is increased to 8.4 g/dL and his post-transfusion Hct is increased to 24%. EXAMPLE 8: Testing safety of the administration of hypoxic red blood cells to a patient with MDS with deletion of part of the long arm of human chromosome 5q (del5q) [0315] A 89-year-old male patient with MDS with del5q is enrolled in the safety study. The patient is transfused with 2 units of hypoxic red blood cells processed with the Hemanext ONE system. The patient’s pre-transfusion Hb level is 7.8 g/dL, and his pre-transfusion Hct is 23%. The study recorded any occurrence of AEs post-transfusion of hypoxic blood up to the patient’s subsequent RBC transfusion (or Day 28). No AEs are reported up to 28 days post-transfusion. The patient’s post-transfusion Hb level is increased to 8.8 g/dL and his post-transfusion Hct is increased to 26%. EXAMPLE 9: Testing safety of the administration of hypoxic red blood cells to a patient with Myelofibrosis [0316] A 75-year-old male patient with Myelofibrosis was enrolled in the safety study for the infusion of 2 units of hypoxic red blood cells. Hypoxic red blood cells are processed with the Hemanext ONE system. The patient’s pre-transfusion Hb level is 6.9 g/dL, and his pre- transfusion Hct is 24%. No AEs are reported post-transfusion of hypoxic blood up to the patient’s subsequent RBC transfusion (or Day 28). The patient’s post-transfusion Hb level is increased to 8.0 g/dL and his post-transfusion Hct is increased to 26%. Atty. Docket No. P35320WO00 [0317] Hypoxic RBCs processed with the Hemanext ONE system are well tolerated in patients. Hb levels are within the target range at follow-up, supporting that hypoxically stored RBCs function appropriately. The higher post-transfusion level in a younger, less ill patient supports the concept that age and inflammation play a role in incremental Hb increases following blood transfusions. EXAMPLE 10: Testing safety of the administration of hypoxic red blood cells to five patients with hematological malignancies Five patients with haematological malignancies are enrolled and included in a study to test the tolerability of citrate-phosphatedextrose (CPD)/phosphate-adenine-glucose-guanosine- saline-mannitol (PAGGSM) RBCs that are leukocyte-reduced (LR) and O 2 /CO 2 reduced, with the aim of improving RBC quality for transfusion. The baseline characteristics of the enrolled patients are shown in Table 4. The mean standard deviation (SD) age of the patients is 69.8 ± 19.3 years, and 80% of the patients are male. Mean body mass index is 24.8 ± 3.4 kg/m 2 . Three patients have a primary diagnosis of MDS, two with ring sideroblasts and one with a del5q mutation. Of the two remaining patients, one has a primary diagnosis of AML, and the other has primary myelofibrosis. The mean time since diagnosis is 6.6 ±5.3 years. The mean pre-transfusion Hb level is 7.7 ± 0.5 g/dL, and patients are transfused with a mean volume of 478 ± 20.5 mL of O2/CO2 reduced, LR RBCs in PAGGSM having a mean age of 20.8 ± 12.3 days. One adverse event (rhinovirus) is recorded in a single patient within 7 days of the transfusion (primary endpoint), occurring two days post-treatment. The event is mild in severity and is likely unrelated to the treatment. The adverse event is resolved prior to study exit – 28 days post-transfusion. No other adverse events occur within 28 days of the transfusion (secondary endpoint). Table 4 Baseline Characteristics 3 4 Atty. Docket No. P35320WO00 [0318] The mean Hb level rises from 7.7 ± 0.5 g/dL prior to the transfusion to 9.0 ± 0.9 g/dL post-transfusion, representing an increase of 17%. Patients receive a subsequent transfusion 22.8 ± 6.4 days (mean) after the first transfusion, at which point the mean Hb is 8.2 ± 1.7 g/dL. Blood test values pre-transfusion and at study exit are shown in Table 5. Although most values remain the same, an increase in the mean total white blood cell count and a reduction in the mean reticulocyte count are observed. The increase in total white blood cells is predominantly based on one patient who has an elevated white blood cell count pre-transfusion. Also, the reduction in reticulocytes predominantly arises from one patient whose pre-transfusion count is well above the reference value; the reticulocyte count of this patient is not determined at the time of study exit. [0319] The hypoxic RBCs processed with the CPD/PAGGSM leukoreduced, oxygen and carbon dioxide reduced system are effective and well tolerated in patients with hematological malignancies. No treatment-related adverse events are reported for up to 28 days after transfusion.
