4009 Background: The clinical utility of tracking circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a non-invasive biomarker for detecting minimal residual disease (MRD) and stratifying patients based on their risk of developing relapse has been well established in colorectal cancer (CRC). This study evaluates the detection and longitudinal monitoring of ctDNA in CRC patients pre- and post-operatively, during and after adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT). Methods: The prospective, multicenter cohort study recruited patients (n = 193) diagnosed with resected stage I-III CRC. Plasma samples (n = 1052) were collected at various timepoints with a median follow up of 21.6 months (4.6-38.5 months). Individual tumors and matched germline DNA were whole-exome sequenced and somatic mutations identified. Multiplex PCR assays were designed to 16 tumor-specific single-nucleotide variants to track ctDNA in plasma samples. The study evaluated the relationship between ctDNA status and clinical outcomes including radiologic imaging. Cox regression was used to calculate recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients stratified by ctDNA status postoperatively and post-ACT. Multivariable analysis was performed with all clinical variables. Best model was selected according to Akaike Information Criterion. Results: Pre-operatively ctDNA was detected in 90% (n = 166/185) of the patients. Post-operative ctDNA status prior to ACT was assessed in 152 patients, of which 9.2% (14/152) were identified to be MRD-positive and 78.5% (11/14) eventually relapsed. In contrast, 10.1% (14/138) of MRD-negative cases relapsed (HR: 16.53; 95% CI: 7.19-38.02; p < 0.001). Longitudinal ctDNA-positive status, post-ACT (n = 84) and post definitive therapy (n = 139) was associated with a 27.92 HR (95% CI: 9.16-85.11; p < 0.001) and a 47.52 HR (95% CI: 17.34-130.3.; p < 0.001), respectively. In the multivariable analysis, longitudinal ctDNA status was the only significant prognostic factor associated with RFS (HR: 53.19, 95% CI: 18.87-149.90; p < 0.001). Serial ctDNA analysis detected MRD up to a median of 9.08 months (0.56-16.5 months) ahead of radiologic relapse with a sensitivity of 79.1% and specificity of 99%. Conclusions: Postoperative ctDNA analyses detect patients with high-risk of recurrence, with near 100% specificity. Early detection of MRD and longitudinal monitoring of ctDNA could guide treatment decisions. Intervention trials to assess the clinical benefit of ctDNA use are underway.

8001 Background: Patients with ultra high-risk (UHiR) newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) and patients with plasma cell leukemia (PCL) continue to have dismal outcomes and are underrepresented in clinical trials. Recently, improved responses with anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody combination therapy have been reported for NDMM patients. We report here outcomes for NDMM UHiR and PCL patients treated in the OPTIMUM/MUKnine (NCT03188172) trial with daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone (Dara-CVRd) induction, augmented high-dose melphalan (HDMEL) and ASCT. With final analysis follow-up surpassed in Feb 2021, we report here early protocol defined endpoints from induction to day 100 post ASCT. Methods: Between Sep 2017 and Jul 2019, 107 patients with UHiR NDMM by central trial genetic (≥2 high risk lesions: t(4;14), t(14;16), t(14;20), gain(1q), del(1p), del(17p)) or gene expression SKY92 (SkylineDx) profiling, or with PCL (circulating plasmablasts > 20%) were included in OPTIMUM across 39 UK hospitals. Patients received up to 6 cycles of Dara-CVRd induction, HDMEL and ASCT augmented with bortezomib, followed by Dara-VR(d) consolidation for 18 cycles and Dara-R maintenance. Primary trial endpoints are minimal residual disease (MRD) status post ASCT and progression-free survival. Secondary endpoints include response, safety and quality of life. Data is complete but subject to further data cleaning prior to conference. Results: Median follow-up for the 107 patients in the safety population was 22.2 months (95% CI: 20.6 – 23.9). Two patients died during induction due to infection. Bone marrow aspirates suitable for MRD assessment by flow cytometry (10-5 sensitivity) were available for 81% of patients at end of induction and 78% at D100 post ASCT. Responses in the intention to treat population at end of induction were 94% ORR with 22% CR, 58% VGPR, 15% PR, 1% PD, 5% timepoint not reached (TNR; withdrew, became ineligible or died) and at D100 post ASCT 83% ORR with 47% CR, 32% VGPR, 5% PR, 7% PD, 10% TNR. MRD status was 41% MRDneg, 40% MRDpos and 19% not evaluable post induction and 64% MRDneg, 14% MRDpos and 22% not evaluable at D100 post ASCT. Responses at D100 post ASCT were lower in PCL with 22% CR, 22% VGPR, 22% PR, 22% PD, 12% TNR. Most frequent grade 3/4 AEs during induction were neutropenia (21%), thrombocytopenia (12%) and infection (12%). Grade 3 neuropathy rate was 3.7%. Conclusions: This is to our knowledge the first report on a trial for UHiR NDMM and PCL investigating Dara-CVRd induction and augmented ASCT. Response rates were high in this difficult-to-treat patient population, with toxicity comparable to other induction regimens. However, some early progressions highlight the need for innovative approaches to UHiR NDMM. Clinical trial information: NCT03188172.

Minimal Residual

Abstract For high-risk adult ALL patients alloHCT is a preferable option. However, a significant proportion of those not having a suitable donor may be successfully treated with autotransplantation (autoHCT). Based on our experience this treatment ensures low transplant related mortality below 3% and a reasonable overall survival and disease free survival of 60% and 45% respectively. The status of the disease before transplantation is an important factor for long term results. In childhood ALL most studies suggest that the level of minimal residual disease (MRD) after induction evaluated immunophenotypically or with bio-molecular methods is predictive for outcome after different treatments including chemotherapy, alloHCT and autoHCT. The results in adult ALL are more controversial. Patients selection. Among 1205 haematopoetic cell transplantations performed in our institution 224 (147 autologous, 77 allogeneic) were performed in 205 adults with ALL. For this study we selected an uniform group of 81 patients fulfilling following criteria’s: Ph (-) ALL, status CR1, evaluable MRD, strictly defined autoBMT procedure performed until the end of 2003. Methods. MRD was tested before autoBMT (median interval 10 days) using 2 ore 3-color flow-cytometry, as appropriate. The atypical immunophenotypes were evaluated using the “quadrans” analysis in all cases and since 2002 also the “empty spaces” technique. The sensitivity equals at least 0.0001. For all autoHSCT bone marrow was used as a source of stem cells. The CAV conditioning regimen consisted of cyclophosphamide 60mg/kg on d. -3, -2, cytarabine 2 g/m2 d. -3, -2, -1, etoposide 800 mg/m2 d. -3, -2. Bone marrow was not cryo-preserved after collection but stored in 40 C and re-transplanted after 72h. Results. In 41 patients; age med. 26 y (15–53), F/M=12/29, the MRD level was &lt;0,001: the MRD (−) group. In 40 patients; age med. 29 y (16–53), F/M=18/22, the MRD was detected at the level =/&gt; 0,001; MRD+ group. The ALL-immunophenotypes of MRD−/MRD+ groups were as follows; proB 4/7, preB 2/6, Common 18/19, B 0/1, preT 5/2, T 12/1). The interval from DGN to BMT was similar in both groups. The probability of LFS and OS at 10y calculated with median follow up time of 5y equaled; in the MRD(−) group 47% and 62% and in the MRD+ one 48% and 57% respectively (p=ns). The main reason of failure in both groups was a relapse which occurred after a median time of 277 days in the MRD(−) group and 134 days in MRD+ one (p=0.19). Conclusion and comment. Based on this observation we conclude that a single evaluation stratifying patients before autoBMT according to MRD level below or above 0.001 is not predictive for DFS and OS, because it informs only about the current amount of the disease but not about its opportunistic nature. In this respect a repeatedly confirmed MRD positivity should be more significant. Taking into consideration that the main reason of failures were relapses, this finding suggests also that in patients with chemotherapy-responsive ALL confirmed by stabile CR, the myeloablative CAV regimen is sufficiently strong to eliminate the residual disease at the level ranging 0.01–0.001. It may be speculated only that the 72h lasting incubation of bone marrow product before re-transplantation has also some kind of purging effect for leukemic blasts.
