A history of CLS has been reported in at least one case. • COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen is now contraindicated in individuals who have previously experienced episodes of CLS. • CLS is characterised by acute episodes of oedema mainly affecting the limbs, hypotension, haemoconcentration and hypoalbuminaemia. Patients with an acute episode of CLS following vaccination require prompt recognition and treatment. Intensive supportive therapy is usually warranted. Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS): • Individuals diagnosed with thrombocytopenia within 3 weeks after vaccination with COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen should be actively investigated for signs of thrombosis. Similarly, individuals who present with thrombosis within 3 weeks of vaccination should be evaluated for thrombocytopenia. • TTS requires specialised clinical management. Healthcare professionals should consult applicable guidance and/ or consult specialists (e.g., haematologists, specialists in coagulation) to diagnose and treat this condition. Background on the safety concern COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen suspension for injection is indicated for active immunisation to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2, in individuals 18 years of age and older.

Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) has been previously observed in HSCT patients. CLS is a rare disease characterized by recurrent episodes of generalized edema and severe hypotension along with hypoproteinemia. Case Report: A 27-year-old Chinese man, diagnosed with refractory acute myeloid leukemia, was treated with a haploidentical stem cell transplant combined with an unrelated umbilical cord blood unit. The patient developed fatal CLS during the 9th day of the conditioning therapy. Conclusion: Since it is difficult to distinguish between CLS and other early complications during allo-HSCT, our report highlights the need for rigorous investigation of identifying CLS and the increasing need of insightful diagnosis to manage any incidence of CLS.

Pearsall5, Yijun Yang5, Ty McClure5, Kenneth M. Attie5, Matthew L. Sherman5, and Sunil Sharma4 Abstract Purpose: The angiogenesis inhibitor dalantercept (formerly ACE-041) is a soluble form of activin receptor–like kinase-1 (ALK1) that prevents activation of endogenous ALK1 by bone morphogenetic protein-9 (BMP9) and BMP10 and exhibits antitumor activity in preclinical models. This first-in-human study of dalantercept evaluated its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and antitu- mor activity in adults with advanced solid tumors. Experimental Design: Patients in dose-escalating cohorts received dalantercept subcutaneously at one of seven dose levels (0.1–4.8 mg/kg) every 3 weeks until disease progression. Patients in an expansion cohort received dalantercept at 0.8 or 1.6 mg/kg every 3 weeks until disease progression. Results: In 37 patients receiving dalantercept, the most common treatment-related adverse events were peripheral edema, fatigue, and anemia. Edema and fluid retention were dose-limiting toxicities and responded to diuretic therapy. No clinically significant, treatment-related hypertension, proteinuria, gross hemorrhage, or gastrointestinal perforations were observed. One patient with refractory squamous cell cancer of the head and neck had a partial response, and 13 patients had stable disease according to RECISTv1.1, eight of whom had prolonged periods (12 weeks) of stable disease.

Use of transpulmonary thermodilution technique for volume management Bernd Saugel*1, Andreas Umgelter1, Friedrich Martin2, Veit Phillip1, Roland M Schmid1 and Wolfgang Huber1 Abstract Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome (SCLS) is a rare disorder characterized by increased capillary hyperpermeability leading to hypovolemic shock due to a markedly increased shift of fluid and protein from the intravascular to the interstitial space. Hemoconcentration, hypoalbuminemia and a monoclonal gammopathy are characteristic laboratory findings. Here we present a patient who suffered from SCLS with hypovolemic shock and compartment syndrome of both lower legs and thighs. Volume and catecholamine management was guided using transpulmonary thermodilution. Extended hemodynamic monitoring for volume and catecholamine management as well as monitoring of muscle compartment pressure is of crucial importance in SCLS patients.

Causes of this complication are Hematopoietic cell diverse, usually overlapping, and poorly understood. Therefore, management implicates multi- transplantation directional investigations and simultaneous treatment of suspected causes. The etiology is fre- quently unconfirmed due to a lack of specific markers and prevalence of contraindications to renal biopsy among HCT recipients. Herein, we provide a summary of etiology and propose an algorithm for evaluation of kidney injury after HCT. We also map out the most urgent areas for research that aim to identify patients at risk of severe renal injury and develop nephropro- tective strategies.
