Purpose In diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), prior studies suggest that concordant bone marrow involvement with DLBCL portends a poorer prognosis, whereas discordant bone marrow involvement with small B-cell lymphoma does not. We examined the significance of bone marrow involvement in patients treated in the current era of therapy including rituximab. Patients and Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of the prognostic impact of bone marrow involvement in an unselected population of patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL treated with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone in British Columbia and Auckland, New Zealand, with complete clinical information and evaluable staging bone marrow biopsies. Results In total, 795 patients were identified. Six hundred seventy (84.3%) of 795 had a negative bone marrow, 67 patients (8.4%) had concordant and 58 (7.3%) had discordant involvement. Median follow-up was 41 months (range, 1 to 115). Progression-free survival (PFS) was inferior in those with concordant (P < .001) and discordant (P = .019) involvement while overall survival (OS) was inferior in those with concordant involvement (P < .001) only. In a multivariate analysis controlling for the International Prognostic Index (IPI) score, concordant involvement remained an independent predictor of PFS (P < .001) and OS (P = .007). Discordant involvement was associated with older age, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, advanced stage, and increased number of extranodal sites and was not a negative prognostic factor independent of the IPI score. Conclusion The negative prognostic impact of discordant involvement is adequately represented by the IPI score, while the risk with concordant involvement is greater than that encompassed by this predictor. The results emphasize the need for accurate staging assessment of bone marrow involvement in DLBCL.

e18517 Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can be molecularly subtyped as either germinal center B-cell (GCB) or non-GCB. The role of rituximab(R) in these two groups remains unclear. Methods: We studied 204 patients with de novo DLBCL (107 treated with CHOP; 97 treated with R-CHOP); patients being stratified into GCB and non-GCB on the basis of BCL-6, CD10 and MUM1 protein expression. The relationships between clinical characteristics, survival data and immunophenotype were studied. Results: The median follow-up was 51months for CHOP group and 56 months for R-CHOP group. The 5-year overall survival (OS) in the CHOP and R-CHOP group was 50.4% and 66.6% (p=0.031), respectively. GCB patients had a better 5-year OS than non-GCB patients whether treated with CHOP (65.0% vs. 40.9%; p=0.011). In contrast, there’s no difference in the 5-year OS for the GCB and non-GCB with R-CHOP (76.5% vs. 61.3%; p=0.141). In non-GCB subtype, additional rituximab improved survival than CHOP (61.3% vs. 40.9%; p=0.0303). Conclusions: These results indicated that addition of rituximab to standard chemotherapy eliminate the prognostic value of immunohistochemically defined GCB and non-GCB phenotypes in DLBCL by improving the prognostic value of non-GCB subtype of DLBCL

e19552 Background: Leukemic involvement (LI) in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (L-DLBCL) is very rare and has been sparsely reported. We report our experience with this entity in a large academic multi-center setting. Methods: Medical records of patients with DLBCL who received care at Mayo Clinic between 1/2003 and 6/2020 were reviewed. DLBCL patients with LI were identified. LI was defined as increased white blood cell counts and the presence of clonal B cells on peripheral blood flow-cytometry. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Results: Twenty patients with L-DLBCL were identified with a median follow-up of 32.5 months (CI95%, 32.5-NR). Median age at initial diagnosis was 62 (45-80) years. 60% (12/20) were male; 90% (18/20) were Caucasian. Pathologically, 90% (18/20) had DLBCL and 10% (2/20) had high-grade B cell lymphoma (HGBCL) with intermediate features between DLBCL and Burkitt lymphoma. By Hans criteria, 58% (11/19) had germinal center B-cell DLBCL (GCB-DLBCL) and 42% (8/19) had non-germinal center B-cell DLBCL (non-GCB-DLBCL). 40% (8/20) had transformed DLBCL (t-DLBCL); 36% (5/14) had double-hit lymphoma (DHL) by FISH analysis. LI was present in 55% (11/20) at initial diagnosis and 45% (9/20) at relapse. Median WBC was 39.5/ul (range, 4.3-121) with median absolute lymphocyte count of 25 k/ul (range, 0.7-117). Immunophenotypically, the leukemic lymphoma cells expressed CD19, CD20, and CD79a. Bone marrow involvement and pancytopenia were documented in all patients with a median bone marrow cellularity of 80%. Other extranodal sites of involvement with LI included spleen (65%;13/20), liver (20%;4/20), breast and soft tissue (20%;4/20), bladder or kidneys (10%;2/20), skeleton (10%;2/20), and myocardium (5%;1/20). 65% (13/20) had B-symptoms. All patients had LDH elevation (UNL 222 U/L) with a median of 2125 U/L (range, 308-10,760). 45% (5/11) of patients with LI at initial diagnosis had CNS involvement on relapse/progression. All patients with LI at initial diagnosis received anthracycline-based chemoimmunotherapy with or without CNS prophylaxis. Patients with LI at relapse had had a median of 2 prior treatments (range, 1-5) before LI. Median overall survival (OS) for the whole group was 9 months (CI 95%; 5.8-11.8). There were no long-term survivors. Median progression free survival after LI was 4.7 months (CI95%; 0.8-7.6) in the newly diagnosed group and 3 months (CI95%; 0.9-20) in the relapsed group. 90% (18/20) died due to their progressive disease. Cell of origin, DHL status, or newly diagnosed vs. relapsed status did not have a significant impact on OS in patients with L-DLBCL. Conclusions: Leukemic involvement at any time during the course of DLBCL is associated with poor prognosis. It also appears to be a major risk factor for CNS relapse. It is most frequently associated with DHL and t-DLBCL. Novel therapeutic approaches at the time of initial therapy need to be developed for L-DLBCL.

Purpose To evaluate the impact of the addition of bortezomib to rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) on outcomes in previously untreated patients with non–germinal center B-cell–like (non-GCB) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Patients and Methods After real-time determination of non-GCB DLBCL using the Hans immunohistochemistry algorithm, 206 patients were randomly assigned (1:1; stratified by International Prognostic Index [IPI] score) to six 21-day cycles of standard R-CHOP alone or R-CHOP plus bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 intravenously on days 1 and 4 (VR-CHOP). The primary end point, progression-free survival (PFS), was evaluated in 183 patients with centrally confirmed non-GCB DLBCL who received one or more doses of study drug (91 R-CHOP, 92 VR-CHOP). Results After a median follow-up of 34 months, with 25% (R-CHOP) and 18% (VR-CHOP) of patients having had PFS events, the hazard ratio (HR) for PFS was 0.73 (90% CI, 0.43 to 1.24) with VR-CHOP ( P = .611). Two-year PFS rates were 77.6% with R-CHOP and 82.0% with VR-CHOP; they were 65.1% versus 72.4% in patients with high-intermediate/high IPI (HR, 0.67; 90% CI, 0.34 to 1.29), and 90.0% versus 88.9% (HR, 0.85; 90% CI, 0.35 to 2.10) in patients with low/low-intermediate IPI. Overall response rate with R-CHOP and VR-CHOP was 98% and 96%, respectively. The overall survival HR was 0.75 (90% CI, 0.38 to 1.45); 2-year survival rates were 88.4% and 93.0%, respectively. In the safety population (100 R-CHOP and 101 VR-CHOP patients), grade ≥ 3 adverse events included neutropenia (53% v 49%), thrombocytopenia (13% v 29%), anemia (7% v 15%), leukopenia (26% v 25%), and neuropathy (1% v 5%). Conclusion Outcomes for newly diagnosed, prospectively enrolled patients with non-GCB DLBCL were more favorable than expected with R-CHOP and were not significantly improved by adding bortezomib.
