Abstract Background: In the cytogenetic risk-stratification of myeloma, identification of t(11;14) on plasma cells has long been regarded as a standard risk prognostic factor. More recently, there have been reports of inferior PFS and OS relative to the standard risk myeloma patients. These results carry significance in the current day, as an ongoing phase I trial of Bcl-2 inhibitor (venetoclax) reported an ORR of 40% among myeloma patients with t(11;14) leading way for individualized therapeutic approach for myeloma. In this context, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of t(11;14) myeloma patients receiving uniform modern day induction therapies to evaluate the prognostic implication of this translocation. Methods: Of the 1000 consecutive newly diagnosed myeloma patients treated with RVD induction therapy per Richardson et al (Blood 2010) from July 2005 until August 2016, we have FISH probes for t(11;14) tested in 867 patients. Among these patients, we identified 122 patients with t(11;14). Excluding 247 patients that had del 17p, t(4;14), t (14;16) and complex karyotype on metaphase cytogenetics, we have identified 527 patients that formed the control group of standard risk myeloma. Demographic and outcomes data for the patients were collected from our IRB approved myeloma database and responses were evaluated per IMWG Uniform Response Criteria. Results: Median age of the patients is 61 years (range 16-83). 32% of the patients are above the age of 66. Other patient characteristics include: M/F 56%/44%; W/AA 62%/36%; ISS I/II/III 48%/30%/22%; Isotype IgG/IgA/FLC 60%/18%/19%. Response rates are summarized in table 1. Post induction responses ≥VGPR are lower for t(11;14) compared with non-t(11;14): 49.5% vs 76.3% p<0.001 and similarly best VGPR for t(11;14) vs non-t(11;14): 76.3% vs 91.4% p=0.001. The median progression-free survival for the t(11;14) and non-t(11;14) groups were 51 months (95% confidence interval (CI), 30.628-71.372) and 75 months (95% CI, 57.882-92.118) months, respectively (P<0.001), at a median follow up of 39 months. This difference is more pronounced among patients not receiving maintenance therapy (29 vs 62 months, p=0.001). The median overall survival (OS) for t(11;14), and non-(11;14) groups were not reached at a median follow up of 38 months. Conclusions: Even with the use of modern day induction regimens, patients with t(11;14) have inferior outcomes compared to the other patients standard risk myeloma. The lower rates of ≥VGPR post-induction and the shorter median PFS suggests more novel regimens such as venetoclax should be studied earlier in the course to improve the outcomes of t(11;14) patients on par with the other standard risk myeloma patients.

Abstract Abstract 594 The FIT trial was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (0.4 mCi/kg; maximum dose 32 mCi) when used as consolidation of first complete or partial remission in patients with previously untreated, advanced-stage follicular lymphoma (FL). Patients were randomly assigned to either 90Y-ibritumomab treatment (n = 207) or observation (n = 202) within 3 months (mo) of completing initial induction therapy (chemotherapy only: 86%; rituximab in combination with chemotherapy: 14%). Response status prior to randomization did not differ between the groups: 52% complete response (CR)/CR unconfirmed (CRu) to induction therapy and 48% partial response (PR) in the 90Y-ibritumomab arm vs 53% CR/CRu and 44% PR in the control arm. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) of the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. Results from the first extended follow-up after a median of 3.5 years revealed a significant improvement in PFS from the time of randomization with 90Y-ibritumomab consolidation compared with control (36.5 vs 13.3 mo, respectively; P < 0.0001; Morschhauser et al. JCO. 2008; 26:5156-5164). Here we report a median follow-up of 66.2 mo (5.5 years). Five-year PFS was 47% in the 90Y-ibritumomab group and 29% in the control group (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.51, 95% CI 0.39–0.65; P < 0.0001). Median PFS in the 90Y-ibritumomab group was 49 mo vs 14 mo in the control group. In patients achieving a CR/CRu after induction, 5-year PFS was 57% in the 90Y-ibritumomab group, and the median had not yet been reached at 92 months, compared with a 43% 5-year PFS in the control group and a median of 31 mo (HR = 0.61, 95% CI 0.42–0.89). For patients in PR after induction, the 5-year PFS was 38% in the 90Y-ibritumomab group with a median PFS of 30 mo vs 14% in the control group with a median PFS of 6 mo (HR = 0.38, 95% CI 0.27–0.53). Patients who had received rituximab as part of induction treatment had a 5-year PFS of 64% in the 90Y-ibritumomab group and 48% in the control group (HR = 0.66, 95% CI 0.30–1.47). For all patients, time to next treatment (as calculated from the date of randomization) differed significantly between both groups; median not reached at 99 mo in the 90Y-ibritumomab group vs 35 mo in the control group (P < 0.0001). The majority of patients received rituximab-containing regimens when treated after progression (63/82 [77%] in the 90Y-ibritumomab group and 102/122 [84%] in the control group). Overall response rate to second-line treatment was 79% in the 90Y-ibritumomab group (57% CR/CRu and 22% PR) vs 78% in the control arm (59% CR/CRu, 19% PR). Five-year overall survival was not significantly different between the groups; 93% and 89% in the 90Y-ibritumomab and control groups, respectively (P = 0.561). To date, 40 patients have died; 18 in the 90Y-ibritumomab group and 22 in the control group. Secondary malignancies were diagnosed in 16 patients in the 90Y-ibritumomab arm vs 9 patients in the control arm (P = 0.19). There were 6 (3%) cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in the 90Y-ibritumomab arm vs 1 MDS in the control arm (P = 0.063). In conclusion, this extended follow-up of the FIT trial confirms the benefit of 90Y-ibritumomab consolidation with a nearly 3 year advantage in median PFS. A significant 5-year PFS improvement was confirmed for patients with a CR/CRu or a PR after induction. Effective rescue treatment with rituximab-containing regimens may explain the observed no difference in overall survival between both patient groups who were – for the greater part – rituximab-naïve.

Abstract Introduction: Aggressive chemo-immunotherapy followed by peripheral blood stem cell autografting (ASCT) in CALGB (Alliance) 59909 achieved a median progression-free survival (PFS) in MCL of 5 years (Damon et al JCO, 2009), but late recurrences occurred. Using the CALGB 59909 treatment backbone, we evaluated tolerability and efficacy of adding post-transplant bortezomib consolidation (BC) or maintenance (BM)in a randomized phase II trial. Interim results of CALGB (Alliance) 50403 were previously presented (ASH 2015) demonstrating 5 yr PFS 70% and 69% for the BM and BC arms respectively. We now report final 8 year follow up results from this trial and compare outcomes to CALGB 59909, which differed from CALGB 50403 only by the absence of post-transplant bortezomib. Methods: The primary endpoint was PFS measured from randomization for each treatment arm. Induction therapy was with 2-3 cycles of augmented R-CHOP (2000 mg/m2 cyclophosphamide) and methotrexate (300 mg/m2) followed by high-dose cytarabine/etoposide/rituximab(R)/filgrastim (EAR) stem cell mobilization and cyclophosphamide/carmustine/etoposide (CBV) ASCT. After 2 doses of post-transplant R, patients were randomized to BC (1.3 mg/ m2 IV days 1, 4, 8, 11 of a 3-week cycle for 4 cycles) or BM (1.6 mg/m2 IV weekly x4 every 8 weeks for 18 months) beginning at approximately day 90. Minimal residual disease (MRD) was analyzed using patient-specific PCR probes for the bcl-1 / IgH junction or the IgH CDR3 region. Results: 151 patients were enrolled from 10/2006 - 6/2010 at 14 sites; 147 who received treatment are included in this analysis. Median age was 59 years (29-69); stage II (2.7%), III (11.6%), IV (85.0%); MIPI low (52.4%), intermediate (30.6%), high (17.0%); blastoid histology (12.9%); bone marrow involvement (81.0%); Ki67 was evaluated in 86 and was >30% in 17.4% of patients. 118 (80%) underwent ASCT and 102 (68%) were randomized. Most withdrawals (45) were for progression (10) or adverse events (AEs) (19) including 4 treatment-related deaths. Fifty-two patients were randomized to BM and 50 to BC. Following randomization, 34 (65%) completed BM and 33 (66%) completed BC. Withdrawal for AEs occurred in 14 (28%) of BC and 7 (13%) of BM patients (p = 0.09), most for cytopenias or peripheral neuropathy. With a median follow-up 7.8 years from randomization (8.3 from registration), the median PFS from randomization for the BM arm was not reached and was 8.9 years (95% CI 7.2 to not reached) for the BC arm. Both arms had median PFS significantly greater than the null hypothesis setting median PFS to 4 years (p < 0.001; 1-sided test of exponential parameter)The 8-year PFS estimates in the BM and BC arms were 77% (95% CI 66-90%) and 58% (95% CI 44-76%), respectively. Among all 147 patients treated on CALGB 50403, 8-year PFS from time of registration was 43.6% (35.6-53.3%). PFS from registration was not significantly extended in CALGB 50403 compared with CALGB 59909 (log rank p=0.24), but using a landmark analysis from time of transplant, PFS was significantly extended in CALGB 50403 (log rank p=0.005)(fig 1). Baseline patient characteristics in the two studies were not significantly different. In CALGB 50403, 8-year PFS from registration by MIPI was 52.0% (95% CI 41.1-66.0%) in MIPI low risk, 37.5% (95% CI 25.3-55.4%) in intermediate risk, and 28.2% (95% CI 13.7-57.9%) in high-risk. Bone marrow MRD results were collected for 42 patients post-induction therapy; 8-year PFS estimates were 80.2% (95% CI 62.2-100%) (n=17) and 43.2% (95% CI 27.3-68.2%) (n=25) for MRD-negative and MRD-positive patients, respectively (p=0.009). Conclusions: Induction chemotherapy followed by ASCT and either BC or BM was efficacious and tolerable, although BC was associated with more withdrawals for toxicity. PFS was not significantly different between BC and BM. The comparison between studies 50403 and 59909 with long-term follow up continues to suggest a PFS benefit from the addition of BC or BM among patients undergoing transplant. This did not translate into a PFS benefit from time of study enrollment possibly due to the higher pre-transplant dropout rate in 50403. MRD-negativity following induction chemo-immunotherapy is highly associated with improved PFS and the role of ASCT in post-induction MRD-negative patients is currently under investigation in a randomized clinical trial.

Abstract Abstract 3096 Background. Several studies have demonstrated the impact of VTd on response rates and PFS either as induction or consolidation regimen. However there are limitations to these studies, especially that no data is available regarding the role of VTd consolidation in the context of bortezomib-triple based VTd induction regimen followed by a single auto. At completion of therapy, the response rate (ORR, PR and better) was 89%, VGPR+CR rate 74%, CR rate 29%, relapse rate and median PFS was 53% and 26 months (median F-up 32 months) in the VTd arm of the phase 3 IFM2007-02 trial conducted for newly diagnosed MM (Moreau et al, Blood 2012). In this study, only a minority of patients had received a consolidation or maintenance. On the other hand, Cavo et al. (Blood 2012) reported 97.5%, 92%, 61%, 39% 3-year progression and 62% estimated 5-year PFS (F-up 43 months) respectively in the VTd arm. VTd was given as induction before and consolidation after double auto in this upfront GIMEMA phase 3 trial (Cavo et al, Lancet 2010). We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of VTd as consolidation therapy in the context of VTd as induction regimen followed by a single auto (VTd-auto-VTd regimen). Method. This study has included a first group of 121 newly diagnosed MM from 2009 to 2011 across 9 IFM centers. Patients were to be eligible for auto upfront, aged less than 65 and treated with VTd-auto-VTd regimen. The second cohort included MM treated with VTd-auto without consolidation from the IFM2007-02 trial (n=76). A third cohort comprised MM that received upfront a triplet Vd-based combination induction (VCd, VRd) -auto without consolidation (n = 40). Results. In the whole study, the median age was 56 years, the sex ratio was 1,49, 50% had ISS 2 and 3, 22% had adverse FISH [t(4;14); del17p] (similar in the 3 groups). Overall, the ORR was identical in the 3 cohorts at completion of therapy, 104 (86%), 72 (94%) and 32 (80%) for the cohort 1 to 3, respectively. Nevertheless, the CR rate was significantly greater in patients that received a consolidation (cohort 1), as compared to the cohorts 2 and 3 that did not receive any consolidation, 59 (53%) vs. 26 (34%) and 13 (32.5%), respectively (p=0.0001). Interestingly, the CR rates were identical at the end of the induction in the 3 cohorts, 13%, 15% and 22.5%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 25 months, the incidence rate of relapse was significantly greater in the cohort 2 and 3 versus 1, further demonstrating the importance of the consolidation, 25 (21%), 42 (55%) and 13 (32.5%) patients (p=0.0001), respectively; and 9 (8%), 6 (8%) and 8 (20%) had died in cohorts 1 to 3 (p=0.07). The median (95%CI) PFS was not reached in cohort 1, and was 32 (28;36) months and 30 (26;33) months in cohort 2 and 3, respectively. Importantly, 54.5%, 32% and 32% of patients were free of relapse at 32 months in the 3 cohorts, respectively. Similar data were obtained for TTP. The median (95%CI) OS was not significantly different in cohorts 1 to 3, although not reached for the first 2 cohorts and 38 (33;43) months for the 3rdcohort. The 3-year survival was 84%, 91% and 76%, respectively (p=ns). A longer follow up will certainly demonstrate greater survival end points benefit in favor for consolidation. The safety profile of the cohort that contained a consolidation was superimposable to that of the remaining 2 cohorts without consolidation. The incidence rate of hematological EIs of grade 3 and 4 was 4%, 6% and 8% in the 3 cohorts (p=ns), respectively. The incidence rate of neuropathy grade 1–2 and 3–4 was 5% and 2% in the cohort 1 with consolidation, but only 1% occurred during the consolidation. This data compares favorably to the 3% reported in the cohort 2 (Moreau et al. Blood 2012). We have also observed 9 (9%) thromboembolic events (TE), 8 of venous type and 1 arterial. None of them happened during the consolidation, and again, this incidence rate if superimposable to that reported in the IFM2007-02 vTd cohort. Conclusion. This study showed an impressive increase in CR rate in relation to the consolidation that translated into a lower relapse rate. This study also demonstrated that the VTd regimen, used both as induction and consolidation, in the context of a single auto upfront in MM, significantly contributed to improve clinical outcomes with an acceptable toxicity profile. VTd-auto-VTd compared very favorably to the other upfront protocols, and may become in the near future a standard of care in newly diagnosed patients with Myeloma.

Abstract Background: While extranodal involvement by mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is relatively common, involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is rare (&lt;5% of cases), with limited treatment options. We report the outcomes of 36 patients (pts) with CNS involvement compared to 72 matched control MCL pts without CNS involvement. Methods: MCL pts with CNS involvement seen at Mayo Clinic between 1/1995-9/2020 were identified using the Mayo Data Explorer tool. CNS involvement was defined by tissue biopsy confirmed CNS MCL, CSF analysis demonstrating lymphoma cells, and/or neuroimaging findings compatible with CNS involvement. A 2:1 control group of MCL pts without CNS involvement, matched by age (+/- 2 years) and year of diagnosis (+/- 1 year), was selected among all MCL cases. Medical records were reviewed for baseline characteristics, treatment modalities, and outcomes. Kaplan-Meier method was used for time to event analysis. Wilcoxon test was used to compare continuous variables and Chi square test was used for categorical variables. Results: Out of 1,753 pts with MCL, 36 (2%) had evidence of CNS involvement, including 4 pts with CNS involvement at initial MCL diagnosis. Baseline characteristics of pts with CNS involvement (CNS MCL group) and those without CNS involvement (control group) are shown in Table 1. At MCL diagnosis, non-CNS extranodal involvement was seen in 30 (83%) pts in the CNS MCL group (24 pts with 1 site and 6 pts with ≥ 2 sites), with bone marrow being the most common extranodal site of involvement (n=24, 67%). For the control group, 54 (75%) pts had extranodal involvement (44 pts with 1 site and 10 pts with ≥ 2 sites), and bone marrow was also the most common extranodal site of involvement (n=50, 69%). Notably, advanced stage disease (stage 3-4) was more commonly seen in the CNS MCL group (n=32, 97%) than in the control group (n=59, 83%) (p=0.04) at MCL diagnosis. Blastoid variant was present in a higher proportion of pts in the CNS MCL group (n=11, 31%) compared to the control group (n=8, 11%) (p=0.02). The CNS MCL group also presented with a higher median serum LDH at diagnosis (239 U/L [range 153-1901] vs. 187 U/L [range 124-588], p=0.02), and higher Ki-67 (40% [range 15-100] vs. 30% [range 10-90], p=0.04) compared to the control group. The most common frontline treatment regimen was anthracycline-based therapies (i.e. R-CHOP, Nordic regimen, R-hyperCVAD) for both groups (58% in CNS MCL group and 56% in control group). 14 (39%) pts in the CNS MCL group underwent autologous stem cell transplant in CR1 vs. 31 pts (43%) in the control group. Similar use of rituximab maintenance was seen in both groups (31% in CNS MCL group and 25% in control group). Median total lines of therapy from initial MCL diagnosis was 3 (range 1-9) in CNS MCL group and 2 (range 1-9) in the control group. The median follow-up from MCL diagnosis was 134 months (95% CI:119-163) for the entire cohort. Median OS from MCL diagnosis was 50.3 months (95% CI: 20.9-71.1) for the CNS MCL group compared to 97.1 months (95% CI: 82.6-192.7; p=&lt;0.001) for the control group (Figure 1). Median time from MCL diagnosis to CNS involvement was 25 months (range 0-167). Median OS from CNS involvement was 4.7 months (95% CI: 2.3-6.7). At last follow up, 31 (86%) pts were deceased from the CNS MCL group, compared to 38 (52%) pts in the control group. For the CNS MCL group, the causes of death were CNS lymphoma in 10 (32%) pts, systemic lymphoma in 9 (29%) pts, treatment-related complication in 7 (23%) pts, and other/unknown in 5 (16%) pts. For the control group, the causes of death were systemic lymphoma in 15 (39%) pts, treatment-related in 2 (5%) pts, and other/unknown in 21 (55%) pts. Conclusion: In pts with MCL, CNS involvement is associated with worse outcomes as evident by a shorter median OS from initial MCL diagnosis (50 months vs. 97 months). Involvement of the CNS by lymphoma is an important contributor for the shorter OS as suggested by the median OS of only 5 months from CNS involvement. Advanced stage, blastoid variant, elevated LDH, and elevated Ki67 at MCL diagnosis were features more commonly seen in the CNS MCL cohort.

Abstract Introduction: Thromboembolism is a serious complication associated with ALL. The use of central venous catheter and treatment protocols involving corticosteroids and L-Asp is assumed as important thrombogenic factors at the induction phase. In particular, L-Asp has profound effects on hepatic synthesis of pro-, anti-coagulant and fibrinolytic factors. In this study, we hypothesized that change of coagulation and fibrinolytic function contributes to hyper-coagulation condition during the induction phase with L-Asp. In order to clarify this, we evaluated the dynamic change in coagulation and fibrinolysis by simultaneous measurement of both thrombin and plasmin generation assay (T/P-GA). Patients: Twenty-seven pediatric patients with newly diagnosed ALL were enrolled from Aug. 2014 to Oct. 2015 at 3 hospitals in Japan. All cases had no thrombotic predisposition. Eighteen cases (66.7%) (BCP-ALL; n=17, T-ALL; n=1) received Berlin-Frankfürt-Münster (BFM)-95 oriented induction therapy included prednisolone (and dexamethasone for T-ALL), vincristine, daunorubicin, and E.coli L-Asp (a total of 8 doses of 5,000 U/m2). The others (BCP-ALL; n=8, T-ALL; n=1) received Japan Association of childhood Leukemia Study (JACLS) ALL02 oriented induction therapy included prednisolone, dexamethasone, vincristine, daunorubicin, cyclophosphamide and E.coli L-Asp (a total of 6 doses of 6,000 U/m2). Methods: The individual hemostatic parameters were monitored by fibrinogen (Fbg), FDP, AT, TAT and PIC. Additionally, the global functions of coagulation and fibrinolysis were evaluated using T/P-GA established by our group [Matsumoto et al. TH 2013]. This assay was initiated by the addition of a mixture of optimized concentrations of tissue factor and tissue-type plasminogen activator. Thrombin and plasmin generation were monitored simultaneously using individual fluorescent substrates in separate microtiter wells. Standard curves were set using purified alpha-thrombin and plasmin. Patients' plasmas were collected at the following points, T0; pre-phase of L-Asp, T1; intermittent phase of L-Asp, T2; post-phase of L-Asp, and T3; post-induction phase. Endogenous potentials of thrombin generation (T-EP) for coagulant activity and plasmin peak levels (P-Peak) of plasmin generation for fibrinolytic activity were selected as parameters for evaluation in this study. A ratio of T-EP and P-Peak of patients' plasmas to those of control normal plasma were calculated. Results: All cases obtained first remission, and none of them developed coagulopathy. Six cases received FFP transfusion for low Fbg level, whilst 21 cases received AT supplement for low AT level. Fbg showed a median of 170, 99.0, 99.0 and 328 mg/dl at T0, T1, T2 and T3, respectively, whilst the other individual parameters showed relatively unchanged. T-EP revealed a median of 1,126, 1,059, 1,175, 1,343 and 1,132 nM, whilst P-Peak showed a median of 6.67, 4.54, 4.12, 5.50 and 5.77 nM for T0, T1, T2, T3 and control plasma, respectively, indicating the elevated T-EP ratios and reduced P-Peak ratios (Fig. 1). The most significant difference in both ratios demonstrated a median of 1.5-fold (range, 1.0 to 2.6) at T2, consistent with the lowest Fbg levels. The FFP transfusion group showed significantly lower T-EP ratios than non-transfusion group at T1 (a median of 0.87 vs. 1.01, P=0.041) and T2 (a median of 0.96 vs. 1.07, P=0.009), whilst P-Peak ratios revealed no significant changes. The AT supplement group showed no significant changes of both ratios. Conclusion: The results from decreased Fbg and unchanged FDP might reveal the hepatic synthesis disorder of Fbg, whilst the results from T/P-GA showed that their hemostatic dynamics appear likely to be thrombotic tendency, since their coagulation state was hyper-coagulation and anti-fibrinolysis at post-phase of L-Asp. These results suggest that the impaired balance of coagulation and fibrinolysis due to L-Asp therapy might play an important role of a thrombotic complication at induction phase. On the other hand both conventional FFP transfusion and AT supplement therapy might not dramatically repair this unbalance state. A further research would be required to examine the role of coagulant and fibrinolytic function using T/P-GA in the pathogenesis of coagulopathy associated with L-Asp therapy in order to establish the optimal supportive therapy.

Rituximab Maintenance

Abstract Introduction. The prognosis of patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) has improved during recent years following the introduction of immuno-chemotherapy and Rituximab maintenance. Nevertheless, some patients still relapse early and have a poor prognosis. Several prognostic scoring systems have been developed using clinical, laboratory as well as molecular data, while the early identification of high-risk patients remains a challenge. In this context, the relevance of circulating bcl2/IgH levels for patient stratification is not clear. We could show that high circulating bcl2/IgH levels in the peripheral blood (PB) before therapy were an independent adverse prognostic factor for progression free survival (PFS) in patients receiving R-CHOP or Bendamustine-Rituximab (B-R) in the NHL1 study of the German StiL group (Zohren et al, Blood 2015). Methods. Using a sensitive quantitative PCR method as previously described (Zohren et al, Blood 2015), a total of 2,491 circulating bcl-2/IgH level analyses were performed on PB samples before (n=415) and after (n=305) 6 cycles first-line immuno-chemotherapy and during follow-up (n=1,771). Results of these molecular studies were correlated with clinical outcome. We first present a 10-year update of the 107 bcl2/IgHpositive patients from the StiL-NHL1-trial. Secondly, we report the results from the StiL-NHL7-trial including bcl2/IgH analyses of 308 bcl2/IgHpositive patients who received B-R and Rituximab maintenance. Results. With a median follow-up of 10 years in the 107 bcl2/IgHpositive patients from the StiL-NHL1-trial, high PB bcl-2/IgH levels (bcl-2/IgH to reference gene (tPA) ratio >1) before treatment as compared to low (ratio <1) levels remained a major independent prognostic factor for PFS (median 22 vs 71 months, HR 2.27, 95% CI 1.37-3.75; p=0.001). We also confirm that patients who were still bcl-2/IgHpositive after six cycles of immuno-chemotherapy had significantly inferior PFS (13 vs 79 months, Hazard Ratio (HR) 2.97, 95% CI 1.53-5.78; p=0.001) and overall survival (OS, 128 months vs not reached , HR 3.90, 95% CI 1.39-11.00; p=0.010). In contrast, among the 308 bcl-2/IgHpositive patients of the StiL-NHL7-trial, who all received B-R and Rituximab maintenance, PB bcl-2/IgH levels (ratio >1 vs <1) before therapy were no longer prognostic for PFS (99 months vs not reached, HR 1.06, 95% CI 0.66 - 1.69; p=0.814) or OS. On the other hand, being bcl-2/IgHpositive after 6x B-R remained a poor prognostic factor for PFS (43 months vs not reached, HR 2.44, 95% CI 1.18-5.04; p=0.016 ) and OS (72 months vs not reached, HR 4.03, 95% CI 1.82-8.96; p=0.001) despite Rituximab maintenance. When comparing StiL-NHL1 and StiL-NHL7 patients with respect to bcl-2/IgH levels and the effect of Rituximab maintenance, we found that Rituximab maintenance led to a significantly better PFS. In patients with low (ratio <1) bcl-2/IgH levels before therapy the hazard ratio of 1.7 was modest (71 months vs not reached, HR 1.70, 95% CI 1.16-2.50; p=0.006) in comparison to 3.46 as observed in patients with high (ratio >1) bcl-2/IgH levels (22 vs 99 months, HR 3.46, 95% CI 1.93-6.20; p<0.000). These findings suggest that patients with high bcl-2/IgH levels before therapy have a greater benefit from Rituximab maintenance therapy. There was no difference with regard to OS between StiL-NHL1 and StiL-NHL7 patients who were still bcl-2/IgHpositive after 6 cycles of immuno-chemotherapy implying that these patients may not benefit from Rituximab maintenance. Conclusion. High circulating bcl-2/IgH levels in the PB before first line therapy identify a subgroup of patients with advanced FL who have significantly shorter PFS after standard immuno-chemotherapy. These patients greatly benefit from the addition of Rituximab maintenance, because pre-treatment bcl-2/IgH levels lose their predictive value with Rituximab maintenance therapy. On the other hand, patients who remain bcl-2/IgHpositive after standard immuno-chemotherapy have short PFS and OS despite treatment with Rituximab maintenance and therefore are candidates for experimental treatment approaches.

Background: Within the heterogeneous genomic landscape of multiple myeloma (MM), clonal evolution including the acquisition of risk-defining mutations and chromosomal abnormalities is a recurrent event and can be detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The effects of acquired abnormalities on clinical outcomes have not been well defined. We previously reported that patients who acquired 17p deletion [del(17p)] during the course of their disease had a significantly reduced overall survival (OS) by 38 months compared to patients who did not acquire del17p (Lakshman et al 2019). Similarly, while de novo gain of the long arm of chromosome 1 (1q22 gain) is a known high-risk aberration associated with significantly shorter OS and progression-free survival (PFS) in MM, the prognostic significance of acquired 1q22 gain has not been described. The primary objective of this study was to analyze factors predictive for acquired 1q22 gain and determine its impact on survival. Methods: We identified MM patients from the Mayo Clinic Dysproteinemia Database who had at least one follow up FISH performed ≥6 months from diagnosis. The clinical characteristics, concomitant cytogenetic abnormalities, first line treatments administered, and OS were compared between patients with acquired 1q22 gain and patients who did not acquire this abnormality. The Mayo Clinic IRB approved this study. Results: A total of 1041 MM patients met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 63 patients (6.1%) had acquired 1q22 gain, defined as being negative for 1q22 gain on initial FISH at diagnosis and having this abnormality detected on subsequent FISH. Median age at diagnosis was 59 years and 56% were male. Median time to acquisition of 1q22 gain was 60 months (range 8-140 months). We identified one control patient for each case who was diagnosed within one year of the case and had a subsequent FISH performed at a similar duration from diagnosis. Patients with acquired 1q22 gain had similar baseline characteristics except for a higher proportion of high-risk (HR) FISH at diagnosis [t(4;14), t(14;16), t(14;20), and del(17p13)] when compared to controls (27% HR FISH versus 6% HR FISH; P&lt;0.01). 1q22 gain was concomitantly present with trisomies in 33 patients (54%), monosomy 13 in 24 patients (39%), t(4;14) in 8 patients (13%), and del(17p13) in 7 patients (12%). All patients received treatment prior to acquisition of 1q22 gain. Of the 63 patients, first line induction therapy consisted of proteasome inhibitor (PI) with steroid in 43%, immunomodulatory drugs (IMiD) with steroid in 40%, and PI + IMiD with steroid in 17% of patients. 54 patients (85%) received upfront stem cell transplant (SCT) (median 5.9 months to SCT), compared to 50 patients (79%) in the control group who received SCT. The median follow up of all 126 patients was 6.8 years. There was a statistically significant reduction in median OS from diagnosis in patients with acquired 1q22 gain compared to the control group (10.8 years versus 13.0 years; P = 0.02; Figure 1). Predictors of acquisition of 1q22 gain were identified using a case-control method. Age ≥70 at diagnosis and presence of HR FISH at baseline appeared to increase the risk of acquiring 1q22 gain. Conclusion: Acquisition of 1q22 gain is a relatively uncommon occurrence, but notably reduced OS by 2.2 years compared to patients who did not acquire 1q22 during the course of their disease (P = 0.02). Older age and the presence of HR FISH at diagnosis increased the risk of acquisition of 1q22 gain. The presence of high-risk translocations at baseline suggests that acquisition of 1q22 gain occurs in the context of more aggressive disease biology.

Abstract The persistence of leukemic mutation(s) in AML patients who have achieved a morphologic complete remission (CR) after intensive induction chemotherapy is a strong predictor of early relapse and reduced overall survival (OS) (Klco JAMA, 2015; Morita, J Clin Oncol 2018; Jongen-Lavrencic, NEJM, 2018). There is no clinical consensus as to the optimal consolidation therapy for the ~50% of patients with intermediate-risk AML. The median relapse-free survival (RFS) for patients ≤60 years with ELN intermediate-risk disease is 0.8 years to 1.2 years, with a median OS of 1.2-2.1 years (Mrozek, J Clin Oncol, 2012). We have shown that intermediate-risk patients who clear all leukemia-associated mutations (LAMs) to a variant allele fraction (VAF) of <2.5% in first morphologic CR have a median event-free survival of 25.6 months, vs 8.8 months if they do not (HR 3.32). Median overall survival is 46.8 months if all LAMs are cleared, vs 19.3 months if they are not (HR 2.88). We hypothesized that improved post-remission risk stratification using LAM clearance can further refine risk assessment and optimize alloHCT decisions by identifying patients at lower risk of relapse, who might be expected to do well with standard chemotherapy. Here, we report the development of a pipeline to prospectively determine the persistence of LAMs after remission-induction, and return results in a clinically actionable time-frame. We perform enhanced exome sequencing (EES) of paired skin or buccal swab (normal tissue) and bone marrow DNA to comprehensively identify all LAMs at diagnosis (Day 0) and to assess their clearance post-induction (~Day 30). EES data are generated using a CLIA-compliant assay in the CLIA-licensed environment (CLE) lab at the McDonnell Genome Institute, and results are returned to the treating physician. Intermediate risk patients ≤60 years with clearance of all LAMs (VAFs <2.5%) are assigned to receive consolidation with high-dose cytarabine (HiDAC) (Cohort A). Patients with persistence of any mutation at a VAF ≥ 2.5% are assigned to the investigator's choice arm, and are treated with HiDAC and/or alloHCT at the discretion of the treating physician (Cohort B). This stratification is part of an ongoing clinical protocol (NCT02756962) whose primary objective is to determine whether the RFS of patients who have cleared all LAM(s) post-induction (VAFs <2.5%) and are treated with HiDAC alone (Cohort A) is significantly higher than expected from a historical intermediate risk group. Measurable residual disease testing by "difference from normal" flow cytometry (lower level of detection of 0.02%, Hematologics, Seattle WA) post-induction will be correlated with clearance or persistence of mutations and clinical outcomes. For the 23 patients sequenced to date, the mean turnaround time to issue sequencing results to the treating physician was 24 days from the time of the remission biopsy. All 23 patients had detectable LAMs at presentation (mean 28 per patient, range, 6 to 43) that could be used to track persistent disease in the day 30 remission sample. Eleven patients (48%) cleared all LAMs and received HiDAC only (Cohort A). There was no flow cytometric evidence of residual AML in Cohort A. Twelve patients (52%) had persistent LAMs (Cohort B, investigator's choice). The number of persistent leukemia-associated variants present in Cohort B ranged between 1 and 14. Surprisingly, 9 of the 12 patients with persistent LAMs by sequencing had no flow cytometric evidence of residual leukemia. Seven of 12 patients on the investigator's choice arm have received an alloHCT, and none have relapsed to date. The median follow-up for all subjects is 378 days (range, 59-683). Neither the median RFS (Fig. 1A) nor the median OS (Fig. 1B) has been reached for either cohort. While preliminary, these results suggest that patients who clear all LAMs to a VAF of <2.5% may have durable responses with HiDAC alone. The encouraging RFS seen in the investigator's choice arm (Cohort B) may reflect the decision to recommend transplant "upfront" in CR1 for patients who have molecular persistent disease. In summary, identifying persistent LAMs after induction chemotherapy is feasible in an actionable time-frame. Early data suggest that using LAM clearance post-induction may improve current risk-stratification for intermediate-risk AML. Accrual of patients and continued follow-up are ongoing.

The Impact

Abstract Background CD47 is an immune checkpoint that binds signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) and delivers a "do not eat" signal to suppress macrophage phagocytosis. Tumor cells, including T-cell lymphomas, frequently overexpress CD47 to escape immune surveillance. TTI-621 (SIRPαFc) is a fusion protein consisting of the CD47 binding domain of human SIRPα linked to the Fc region of human IgG1, designed to enhance phagocytosis and antitumor activity by blocking the CD47-SIRPα interaction between malignant cells and macrophages, and engaging activating Fcγ receptors. It is hypothesized that direct intralesional (IL) administration of TTI-621 may enhance both local and systemic antitumor activity. Methods A multicenter, open-label Phase 1 study is ongoing to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and antitumor activity of IL injections of TTI-621 (NCT02890368) in adult patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) percutaneously accessible solid tumors and mycosis fungoides (MF) who have progressed on standard anticancer therapy or for whom no other approved therapy exists. The current report analyzed a cohort of R/R MF/Sézary syndrome (SS) patients enrolled by the data cut-off date. Patients received induction therapy consisting of a single IL injection (1, 3 or 10 mg), three 10 mg injections over one week, or six 10 mg injections over two weeks distributed across one to three lesions. The protocol was recently amended to enable weekly post-induction IL maintenance dosing and to explore IL TTI-621 administration in combination with subcutaneous pegylated interferon-α2a. Responses were evaluated using the Composite Assessment of Index Lesion Severity (CAILS) score a week after induction therapy and at later time points in some patients. Serial biopsies were collected to assess the impact of TTI-621 on the tumor microenvironment. Results Twenty-two patients (16 M/6F, median age 65.5 years, range 32-85) were enrolled as of June 15, 2018. Primary diagnosis included MF (n=18), MF with transformation (n=3) and SS (n=1). Clinical stages included stage IA (n=2), IB (n=3), IIA (n=1), IIB (n=13), IVA (n=2) and IVB (n=1). Patients received a median of 3 prior systemic therapy regimens. Twenty-one patients were treated with TTI-621 monotherapy and one patient with TTI-621 in combination with pegylated interferon-α2a. Single and multiple IL injections of up to 10 mg TTI-621 have been well tolerated. The most frequently reported treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were chills (n=8), injection site pain (n=7) and fatigue (n=6). All treatment-related AEs were Grade 1 or 2 in severity. No treatment-related serious AEs or dose-limiting toxicity have been observed. CAILS scores for injected lesions obtained after the last injection were available for 17 patients: 15 (88%) had measurable improvement; 7 (41%) exhibited ≥50% decrease from baseline (Figure 1). Responses were rapid and in some patients occurred after a single injection of varying doses of TTI-621. CAILS scores continued to decrease in 5/5 (100%) monotherapy patients for which post-induction therapy assessments were conducted. Seven patients with reduced CAILS of varying degree (-14% to -67%) in the injected lesions had paired assessments available in adjacent, non-injected lesions. In 6/7 patients, a reduction in CAILS was observed in the non-injected lesions (-12% to -67%), indicating that TTI-621 could induce local-regional responses that were not confined to the site of injection. Additionally, one patient with transformed MF exhibited clear evidence of abscopal effects with rapid resolution of lesions on the abdomen, left flank/back and arms less than two weeks after receiving IL TTI-621 injections in lesions on the foot and leg. The only SS patient on study achieved a reduction in circulating Sézary cells after a single 3 mg local injection of TTI-621. Conclusions Preliminary data from this ongoing study indicate that IL TTI-621 administration is well-tolerated and has single agent activity in heavily pre-treated MF/SS patients across various disease stages. The rapid responses observed occurred in both injected and non-injected lesions indicating a local-regional effect with initial evidence of distant abscopal or systemic effects. Enrollment in this study is continuing to evaluate the impact of weekly maintenance dosing and further characterize the systemic effect and durability of responses.

Abstract Abstract: Background: The translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) is the most common chromosomal translocation in multiple myeloma (MM) with a reported frequency of 15-20%. Most, but not all, reports in the literature have identified this translocation with a relatively favorable outcome. In a smaller cohort, we had previously reported the impact of t(11;14) on the outcomes of MM patients who underwent autologous hematopoietic transplantation (auto-HCT) at our institution1. In this study, we present an updated analysis with a larger cohort of t(11;14) patients, and compared their outcomes to a propensity-matched control group of MM patients with normal diploid cytogenetics and no high-risk abnormalities detected by Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization (FISH). Methods and patients: A total of 1365 MM patients underwent auto-HCT at our institution from 2007 to 2015. We identified 95 patients with t(11;14) by FISH before auto-HCT. Out of these 95 patients, 44 had t(11;14) alone, 26 had co-existent high-risk abnormalities and remaining 25 had standard-risk abnormalities. The control group included 287 MM patients with normal diploid cytogenetics and no abnormalities detected by FISH. From the above two cohorts, using a 1:1 propensity score-matched analysis without replacement, we identified matched controls for 79 patients with t(11;14). Clinical response, relapse, and progression were defined by the International Myeloma Working group criteria. The FISH technique was performed using a LSI IGH/CCND1 XT dual color, dual fusion translocation probe from Abbott Molecular, Inc. The normal cut off for IGH/MYEOV/CCND1 rearrangement using LSI IGH/CCND1 XT probe established at 95 (P<0.05) confidence level in the our Cytogenetics Laboratory is 0.4% for 1R1G2F; 1.1% for 2R2G1F; 3.4% for 3R2G; 7.4% for 2R3G and 0% for 1R3F signal patterns. Results: Table 1 includes the baseline characteristics of the matched doublets. Patients in both groups were well matched for age, ISS stage, serum creatinine, response to induction therapy, induction and preparative regimens, and maintenance therapy. The median follow-up time for the cohort was 48.1 months (range: 0.8-124.6). The overall response rate (CR+VGPR+PR) after auto-HCT was 77/79 (97%) and 78/79 (99%) patients in the t(11;14) and the control group, respectively (P = 1.00). Twenty eight (35%) and 37 (47%) patients achieved a CR in the t(11;14) and the control group, respectively. VGPR rate in the t(11;14) and the control group was 35 (44%) and 31 (39%), respectively. The median PFS for the t(11;14) and the control groups were 33.3 (95%CI: 25.8-not reached) and 39.7 (95%CI: 36.6-not reached) months, respectively (p = 0.24, stratified log-rank test). The median OS has not been reached for both groups (p=0.35). The 4-year PFS rates in the t(11;14) and the control groups were 42% (95%CI: 31%-57%) and 50% (95%CI: 38%-65%), respectively (Fig. A). The 4-year OS rates in the t(11;14) and the control groups were 76% (95%CI: 65%-90%) and 87% (95%CI: 79%-97%), respectively (Fig. B). Conclusions: On a propensity score matching analysis, multiple myeloma patients with translocation t(11;14) had similar response rates, PFS and OS to auto-HCT as standard-risk patients with normal cytogenetics or FISH studies.
