Efficacy and manageable safety of tagraxofusp in blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm: a case series of pediatric and adolescent/young adult patients.
EJHaem. 2024 Februrary
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) predominantly occurs in adults ≥60 years old; 10-20% of cases are pediatric or adolescent/young adult (AYA) patients. Tagraxofusp (TAG, Elzonris® ) is the only approved treatment for BPDCN; in the United States it is approved for patients aged ≥2 years. Data on treating pediatric and AYA BPDCN patients are limited. We present a case series of pediatric and AYA patients with BPDCN treated with TAG. Eight patients (five newly diagnosed; three relapsed/refractory [R/R]), aged 2-21 years, received 12 mcg/kg TAG. Seven patients were female; most had skin ( n = 6) and/or bone marrow ( n = 4) involvement. No new safety signals were identified. Grade 3 adverse events were headache ( n = 1) and transaminitis ( n = 2). Three patients with newly diagnosed BPDCN achieved complete response, one achieved partial response, and one had stable disease (SD). One patient with R/R BPDCN achieved a minor response; one had SD. Seven patients (88%) were bridged to stem cell transplant: 80% of newly diagnosed patients and 100% of R/R patients. Five patients remained alive at last follow-up. These cases highlight the efficacy and safety of TAG in pediatric and AYA patients for whom there is no other approved BPDCN therapy.
