Abstract From 1985 to 2006, 71 patients with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma receiving induction doxorubicine-based chemotherapy followed by ASCT as front-line therapy were registered in the GEL-TAMO (Spanish Group for Lymphoma and Autologous Transplantation). Median age was 28 years, 56% of patients were female, 40% presented with an ECOG ≥ 2; B-symptoms at diagnosis were present in 25% of the patients. Most patients presented with high-risk clinical features: bulky tumours defined as ≥10 cms of diameter were observed in most patients (87%), high LDH in 72% and, as previously reported (Rodriguez et al, Ann Oncol, 1994), β2m was elevated only in 7% of the cases. Forty-seven percent of patients presented 2–3 risk factors of the a-IPI. At transplant, thirty-five patients (49%) in first complete remission (CR), 23 (33%) in partial response and 13 patients (18%) failing the first induction therapy were transplanted, respectively. Conditioning regimens were BEAM or BEAC in 90% of the patients. 39 patients received Radiotherapy: 19 prior and 20 after the transplant. Most patients (91%) received peripheral stem cells. Only a patient failed to engraft after the transplant. After the transplant 73% of the patients achieved a CR and 17 patients were refractory. With a median follow-up from transplantation of 46,5 months the OS, PFS and DFS are 68%, 59% and 81% respectively. Progression of the disease was the main cause of death (78%). A patient died of a second neoplasia and 3 patients died of sepsis. There were no deaths related to transplant toxicity. By multivariate survival analysis both status of the disease at transplant (CR vs PR vs failure) and the Tumor score (Rodriguez et al, Ann Oncol,1992 ) were the only independent variables associated with the OS and PFS, respectively. In conclusion our experience, with a prolonged follow-up, shows that patients with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma presenting at diagnosis with high-risk features have an encouraging survival and PFS with front-line ASCT. However, patients who received the transplant having failed the induction regimen have a very poor prognosis and should be tested with another innovative approach.

8562 Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) usually relapses early following treatment but some relapses happen 5 years or later. Few data exist regarding clinical characteristics and outcome of these patients (pts). Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of all pts from two centers in Lyon/France between 1980–2003 who presented a biopsy proven relapse 5 years or later following diagnosis of DLBCL. All available biopsies were revised and immunohistochemistry (IHC) completed. Results: Among 1492 pts with DLBCL, 54 were eligible. Clinical characteristics at diagnosis were: median age 57 y; stage I-II 63% (34/54); IPI low/low intermediate 84% (41/49) and extranodal involvement (EN) 66% (35/53). IHC at diagnosis: CD20 100% (46/46), CD10 28% (10/36), bcl-6 53% (9/17), MUM1 48% (11/23), bcl-2 68% (19/28), germinal-center phenotype (GC) 57% (12/21) and non-GC 43% (9/21). 47/53 received CHOP/ACVBP-like regimens, 1 autologous transplantation (ASCT) and 1 rituximab. Median time from diagnosis to relapse was 7.4 years (5–20.5 years). 44 pts (81%) had DLBCL histology at time of relapse and 10 pts (19%) indolent histology. MUM1 expression at diagnosis was associated with DLBCL histology at relapse (p=0.037). Clinical characteristics at relapse were: median age 66 y; stage I-II 48% (26/54); 73% (31/43) with DLBCL at relapse had EN. 54% (15/28) with DLBCL at relapse had a GC phenotype and 46% (13/28) a non-GC phenotype. Treatment at relapse included rituximab in 21/54 and ASCT in 15/54 with 7 pts receiving both. Estimated 5-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) after relapse were 25% and 35% for all pts. Pts with DLBCL histology at relapse had an estimated 5-year EFS and OS of 18% and 28%. Pts with indolent histology had an estimated 5-year EFS and OS of 55% and 67%. Conclusions: Patients with DLBCL who present a late relapse usually had localized stage, favorable IPI and extranodal involvement at diagnosis. However, even if initial characteristics at time of first treatment were favorable, outcome of pts with DLBCL at time of relapse remains poor and aggressive treatment, such as ASCT, should be pursue whenever possible. Some patients relapsed with indolent histology and have a better outcome. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e19001 Background: Surveillance scans performed after autologous stem cell transplant (AutoSCT) for patients with relapsed/refractory (RR) diffuse large B Cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have no proven survival benefit. We studied survival differences among patients with RR DLBCL post AutoSCT whose recurrences were detected on clinical history and exam, versus those detected on routine surveillance scan. Methods: We retrospectively identified 139 patients from our institutional database with DLBCL who underwent AutoSCT from 2000 to 2014. All patients had surveillance scans performed at days 100, 180 and at 1-year post AutoSCT. Results: Among the 139 patients with RR DLBCL that underwent AutoSCT, 37 relapsed, of which 21 were clinical and 16 radiological. There were no statistically significant differences in patient characteristics, although more patients in the clinical cohort had extra-nodal and bulky disease (Table 1). The median time to progression was 167 days for the clinical cohort and 565 days for the radiological cohort (p= 0.03). Median follow-up was 587 days for the clinical cohort and 1503 days for the radiological cohort (p=0.002). Median overall survival (OS) was 587 days for the clinical cohort, and was not reached for the radiological cohort (p=0.006). Conclusions: In our review, most patients with relapsed DLBCL after AutoSCT were diagnosed clinically. Patients whose relapse was diagnosed clinically were likely to be detected earlier and have a shorter OS. Our data indicates that patients with aggressive disease may be detected when clinically relevant, regardless of scanning. Given the known risks of excess radiation exposure, our data suggests that routine scanning may not be necessary in the majority of patients with DLBCL following AutoSCT. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background: Patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who present with extra-nodal involvement or histologic transformation from low-grade disease have lower rates of survival after conventional-dose therapy. The impact of these features on outcomes after high-dose therapy with autologous transplantation was investigated. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of 64 consecutive patients receiving autologous transplantation from 1995 to 2003 for the treatment of DLBCL. Variables considered were age, gender, histologic transformation, history of bone marrow involvement, history of central nervous system (CNS) involvement, time from diagnosis to transplant, number of pre-transplant regimens, chemosensitivity prior to transplant, conditioning regimen, year of transplant, and the use of peripheral blood or bone marrow stem cells. Survivals were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to test the significance of factors on survival. Univariate association between variables and survival were tested by the log-rank test. Correlation between variables was tested with Spearman’s rank coefficient. Results: The median age at transplant among 64 patients was 53.5 years (17–74). The median overall survival was 3.3 years. Among these patients, 12 had a history of CNS involvement, 10 had a history of bone marrow involvement, and 12 had transformed from low-grade lymphoma. A Cox regression model suggested age <50 (log-rank, p=0.093), <2 regimens prior to transplant (log-rank, p=0.052), and the lack of BEAM as conditioning regimen (log-rank, p=0.019) as multivariate factors for survival. However, the use of BEAM was highly associated with older age (R²= 0.42, p=0.001) and more prior chemotherapy regimens (R²=0.24, p=0.054). A history of extranodal involvement, including prior CNS involvement (p=0.842) or bone marrow involvement (p=0.518), was not associated with lower survival by univariate analysis. No significant association was found between survival and a history of transformation (p=0.484). Conclusions: A history of CNS involvement, bone marrow involvement, or histologic transformation is not associated with lower rates of survival among patients undergoing autologous transplantation for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma at our institution. Patients who present with such histories remain candidates for autologous transplantation.
