Abstract Abstract 1192 Poster Board I-214 Background: Even though Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a curable disease, about, 20-30% patients are either refractory to induction chemotherapy or relapse post treatment. High dose chemotherapy and autologous HCT has been shown to be an effective salvage therapy for patients with relapsed HL. However, relapse continues to occur after auto-HCT, especially in patients with chemoresistant or poor-risk features at relapse. The prognosis of these patients is poor with limited options of treatment. Although allo-HCT offers both cytoreduction and potential graft-versus-tumor effect, its use in relapsed HL has been limited by non-relapse mortality (NRM) and patient co-morbidities induced by numerous prior treatments. To examine the potential impact of allo-HCT on survival and disease outcomes, we performed retrospective analysis of allo-HCT in relapsed/refractory HL to determine if allo-HCT can induce long-term remission in heavily pretreated relapsed HL. Results: Between January 2003 and December 2008, 29 patients with relapsed HL underwent allo-HCT at City of Hope National Medical Center. The median age was 37 (range: 14-63). 20 (69%) patients were chemosensitive at time of allo-HCT. 17 (59%) patients had prior auto-HCT. 16 (55%) patients received matched siblings and 13 (45%) received unrelated donor cells. 20 (69%) patients had prior radiation treatments. The median number of prior regimens was 5 (range: 2-8). 23 (79%) patients underwent a non-myeloablative conditioning regimen while 6 (21%) patients had a myeloablative regimen. 14 (48%) patients received Tacrolimus/Sirolimus as graft versus host disease prophylaxis and 15 (52%) patients received a combination of Cellcept/CsA, Cellcept/CsA/MTX, Tacrolimus/MTX, or Tacrolimus/Sirolimus/MTX. With a median follow up of 31.9 months (range: 9.7-69.1) for surviving patients, the results show: Conclusion: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in heavily pretreated relapsed Hodgkin's lymphoma is feasible, tolerable, and can induce durable clinical remissions. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Reduced Intensity

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) preconditioning intensity, donor choice, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis for advanced myelofibrosis (MF) have not been fully elucidated. Thirty-five patients with advanced MF were treated with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allo-HCT. We searched for matched sibling (n=16) followed by matched (n=10) or mismatched (n=5) unrelated and familial mismatched donors (n=4). Preconditioning regimen consisted of fludarabine (total 150 mg/m2) and busulfan (total 6.4 mg/kg) with total body irradiation≤ 400cGy. All showed engraftments, but four (11.4%) showed either leukemic relapse (n=3) or delayed graft failure (n=1). Two-year overall survival (OS) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 60.0% and 29.9%, respectively. Acute GVHD was observed in 19 patients, and grade III-IV acute GVHD was higher with HLA-mismatch (70% vs. 20%, p=0.008). Significant hepatic GVHD was observed in nine patients (5 acute, 4 chronic), and six of them died. Multivariate analysis revealed inferior OS with HLA-mismatch (HR=6.40, 95%CI 1.6-25.7, p=0.009) and in patients with high ferritin level at post-HCT D+21 (HR=7.22, 95%CI 1.9-27.5, p=0.004), which were related to hepatic GVHD and high NRM. RIC allo-HCT can be a valid choice for advanced MF. However, HLA-mismatch and high post-HCT ferritin levels related to significant hepatic GVHD should be regarded as poor-risk parameters.
