Abstract Abstract 4554 High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is currently standard treatment for younger patients with multiple myeloma, resulting in improved survival and response rate compared to conventional chemotherapy. Disease relapse, however, remains almost inevitable and thus the role of two successive (tandem) autologous stem cell transplants has been evaluated in chemorefractory patients as a means of prolonging duration of disease response. We retrospectively analysed the results of nine patients with chemorefractory disease treated at a single UK institution who received tandem ASCT between January 1998 and February 2009. There were six men and three women. Median age at diagnosis was 56 years (range, 42–65 years). Paraprotein isotype was IgG in eight patients and IgA in one patient. Median serum paraprotein level was 41g/L (range 12–73g/L) at presentation. At time of 1st transplant six patients were in stable disease (SD) and three had evidence of progressive disease. Conditioning melphalan dose was 140mg/m2 in all but two patients who received 110mg/m2 and 200mg/m2. Median time between transplants was 3.7 months (range 2.3–6.4 months) with PR and SD being observed in 2/9 and 7/9 patients at time of 2nd transplant. None of the patients reached complete response (CR). One patient received melphalan 140mg/m2 prior to 2nd transplant. The remaining patients received melphalan 200mg/m2. Median follow up after tandem transplant was 54.3 months (range 15.6 –143.6 months). No treatment related mortality was reported. At the time of analysis, six patients were still alive and under follow up with an overall survival (OS) figure for the group of 52% at 10 years from diagnosis (Figure 1). Median progression free survival (PFS) was 20 months from 2nd transplant (range 6.7–62.6 months) (Figure 2). Tandem autologous stem cell transplant in chemorefractory patients has resulted in overall survival similar to autologous stem cell transplant in chemosensitive patients and should be considered in patients with chemorefractory disease.

7511 Background: Although patients (pts) with MCL have a high response rate to standard chemotherapy, they continue to relapse with no plateau in long term disease-free survival. The use of dose intense induction therapy such as HyperCVAD (M-C) ±Rituximab(R) and high-dose therapy and stem cell may improve these results. In this analysis the outcomes of pts receiving a standard anthracycline induction therapy or HyperCVAD(M-C)(±R) then followed by a stem cell transplant in first complete (CR1) or partial remission (PR1) were compared. Methods: Between 6/91 and 11/05, 124 pts with MCL received high-dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. Of these pts, 80 received an autologous stem cell transplant in CR1 (N = 47) or PR1 (N = 33). A standard anthracycline based CHOP-like (±R) induction therapy was given to 48 pts compared with 32 pts who received HyperCVAD(M-C)(±R) prior to transplant. Results: The median age of pts was 56 years (range 33–70). The male:female ratio was 33:57. Bone marrow involvement prior to conditioning was present in 52% of pts. An elevated lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) was present in 58% of pts. 65% of patients received one prior chemotherapy before coming to stem cell transplant. The median follow up of pts is 38 months (range 3–143). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) are outlined in table 1 . Characteristics associated with an improved OS by multivariate analysis included receiving HyperCVAD induction (p = 0.04), transplant in CR1 (p = 0.009), ≤ 3 prior chemotherapy regimens (p = 0.02) and no B symptoms at transplant (p = 0.05). Conclusions: To improve the long term disease free survival for pts with MCL, Hyper-CVAD(M-C)(±R) induction should be given to eligible patients with autolgous stem cell transplantation in CR1.

7623 Background: Survival for patient with primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL), in general, is poor with patients requiring frequent chemotherapy treatments or receiving whole-brain radiation therapy, which can potentially result in significant neurologic decline and dementia. Because of the improved survival of high risk patients with aggressive lymphoma undergoing autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT), we began ASCT for patients with PCNSL in first or later remission with chemotherapy sensitive disease. We now report on outcomes of patients who have had at least 1 year follow up post ASCT. Methods: Between June, 2000 and September, 2004, 11 patients underwent ASCT for PCNSL. The medical records of consenting patients were abstracted for the following information. Median age at transplant was 47 years old (range 30–67). Median number of prior treatments 1 (range 1–3). Median time from diagnosis to transplant was 7.5 months (range 2.9 to 75.8). Median International Extranodal Working Study Group Prognostic Score: 2 (range 0–3). Disease status at transplant: First CR 5 patients, later CR or PR 6 patients. Results: Eleven patients underwent ASCT for PCNSL and have a minimum of 1 year follow-up. All patients received BEAM conditioning. Median follow up was 28.3 months. Four patients have relapsed at a median of 200 days (range 40–523). Of the patients who relapsed, one has died of disease progression and the remaining three are alive after additional therapy. Median overall survival and progression free survival from transplant have not been reached. Two year overall and event free survival are 89% and 61%, respectively. Conclusions: Although limited by patient selection and retrospective biases, this review suggests that ASCT for PCNSL demonstrates improved overall survival when compared to historical controls with similar PCNSL Prognostic Scores (2 year survival for patients from diagnosis with PS 2–3 was 48% in a prior published study). ASCT in first remission in patients with PCNSL appears promising and may limit the need for additional therapy which can be myelosuppressive or result in neurologic decline.
