Abstract Abstract 2400 Background: Approximately 10% of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have clinically overt primary systemic light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, and about 30% have concurrent occult AL amyloidosis. The impact of concurrent AL amyloidosis on the prognosis of myeloma is not well known. High-dose melphalan followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (auto HCT) has shown significant activity in both MM and AL amyloidosis. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who had concurrent MM and AL amyloidosis and underwent auto HSCT with high dose Melphalan at MDACC between 01/1998 to 05/2010. We identified 41 patients with concurrent MM and AL amyloidosis. Patient characteristics are summarized in Table 1. Twenty -six patients had occult AL amyloid, while 15 had clinically overt disease. Results: Median age at auto HSCT was 56 years (39-77), 58.5% being male with median follow up of 58.7 months from the time of diagnosis and 42.5 months from auto HCT. The median time from diagnosis to auto HCT was 8.9 mos (2.7-102.4 mos). 39% had Salmon Durie Stage III disease and 36.6% had more than one involved site at the time of transplant.Cytogenetic abnormalities were detected in 24.4% of patients. Post transplant hematologic responses were as follows: ≥CR=10 (24%), ≥VGPR=16 (39%), >PR=33 (80.5%), ≥stable disease= 40 (97.6%). Among the patients with overt organ involvement, one had early death. Of the 15 evaluable patients, organ responses were scored using the published consensus guidelines for amyloidosis and were as follows: PR=5 (33.3%), ≥SD=7 (46.7%). No correlation was seen between organ response and hematologic response. The 100-day treatment related mortality (TRM) was 0 and 1-year TRM of 2.4% which is comparable to patients transplanted for MM alone at our center. The median progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from auto HCT were 33.8 and 58.3 months, respectively.The median PFS and OS from diagnosis were 49.8 and 96 mos, respectively. In multivariate analysis, creatinine ≥ 2mg/dl was associated with a shorter PFS (p=0.043) and hemoglobin <10g/dl showed a trend towards a shorter PFS (p=0.093). None of these variables (Hb <10g/dl, Age>60yrs, Creatinine≥2mg/dl, B2M >3.5mg/l, BM plasma cells>30%) emerged as significant predictors of OS. There was no significant difference in outcome between patients with occult or symptomatic AL amyloidosis for OS (p=0.24) or PFS (P=0.9) Conclusion: In this analysis the outcome of patients with concurrent MM and AL amyloidosis was comparable to patients with MM alone. We believe these patients are acceptable candidates for auto HCT.

Abstract Introduction The prognosis of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) has improved in the last years due to the important advances in the knowledge of the biology of the disease, the implementation of new drugs and the incorporation of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (autoHSCT). The allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (alloHSCT) continues to be controversial: it offers a curative potential but with the cost of high toxicity, limiting the procedure to those young patients with a high-risk disease. This procedure shall be performed in expert centers and, whenever possible, in the context of a clinical trial. In the following we describe the experience of our center with alloHSCT in advance multiple myeloma patients. Patients and methods A total of 18 patients were diagnosed with multiple myeloma received an alloHSCT during a 13 year period (1996-2013), with a median age of 46 ± 5.9 years. All of our patients received an allogenic HLA matched sibling donor with reduced-intensity conditioning. The majority of patients were transplanted because of advanced disease, relapse after an autologous transplant or as part of a sequential transplant in patient with a high risk disease. One patient received, in two occasions, an alloHSCT. Around 70% of patients had received more than 3 previous lines of treatment including, in nearly 95%, an autoHSCT. Patient's characteristics can be found on table 1, characteristics of the procedure can be found in table 2.Table 1.Patient«s CharacteristicsN (%)GenderMale Female10 (55,5%) 9 (44,4%)Secreted ProteinIgGκ IgG λ IgA κ BJ Plasmocitoma8 (44,4%) 4 (22,2%) 2 (11,1%) 3 (16,7%) 1 (5,6%)Debut DS stageII-A II-B III-A III-B Plasmocitoma5 (27,8%) 1 (5,6%) 8 (44,4%) 3 (16,7%) 1 (5,6%)Cytogentics at diagnosisMissing Unfavorable Favorable10 (55,5%) 6 (33,3%) 2 (11,1%)Previous lines of treatment²2 3-4 ³56 (33,3%) 10 (55,5%) 2 (11,1%)Previous autoHSCTYes No17 (94,5%) 1 (5,6%)Previous radiotherapyYes No8 (44,4%) 10 (55,6%)Disease status at transplantComplete remission Partial remission Relapse9 (50,0%) 3 (16,7%) 6 (33,3%)Table 2.Treatment characteristicsN (%)Conditioning regimenMyeloablative Reduced-intensity6 (33,3%) 12 (66.7%)Stem cell sourceBone marrow Peripheral blood4 (22.2%) 14 (77.8%)GVHD prophylaxisCsA+MTXCsA+CSCsA+MMF10 (55.6%) 3 (16.7%) 5 (27.8%)InfectionsYes No16 (88.9%) 2 (11.1%)MucositisYes No12 (66.7%) 6 (33.3%)Acute GVHDYes II-IV III-IV No4 (22.3%) 3 (16.7%) 1 (5.6%) 14 (77.8%)Chronic GVHDNo Limited Extensive8 (44.3%) 5 (27.8%) 5 (27.8%) Results: Transplant related mortality (TRM) before day 100th was one case due to a thromboembolic event. Global TRM was 16.6% (3 cases). The incidence of acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) was 22%, controlled on most cases when corticosteroids were initiated. More than half of the patients developed chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD), with an equal distribution on either presentation as limited or extensive. (Table 2) The total number of patients eligible for analysis was 17 (one patient was lost on follow-up). With a median follow up of 11 years, the overall survival (OS) was of 8.06 years [IC 95% 4,33-11,78] (figure 1.) and the estimated progression free survival (PFS) was of 25.83 months [IC 95% 8.87-42.79](figure 2). A total of 5 (29,4%) patients are still alive and 2 (11,7%) of them are in complete remission, of these 1 patient did not have a previous autoHSCT with a follow up of almost 15 years. Conclusions: Our results are similar to those reflected on the literature1-2. However we have to point out that our population is homogenous with advanced MM with more than 3 previous lines of treatment including in most cases auto-HSCT. In spite of this, morbility and mortality in our cohort was acceptable with the limitation of a high rate of cGVHD. There is a need of more studies including more patients to evaluate the role of alloHSCT in the era of new drugs for MM. References 1. Rosi-ol L et al.
