Abstract Background: The International Prognostic Index (IPI) is the most commonly used prognostic model in mantle cell lymphoma. However, the prognostic value of IPI is limited. The recently published Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI) is built on variables (age, stage, lactic dehydrogenase, anemia, and nodal disease) which also are pertinent to mantle cell lymphoma. This study was conducted to evaluate the prognostic value of FLIPI in patients with mantle cell lymphoma. Patients and Methods: A population-based series of 93 patients with mantle cell lymphoma diagnosed in a 7-year period were studied. End points of the study were response to therapy, overall survival, and failure-free survival according to IPI and FLIPI. Results: Applied to the whole series, FLIPI identified 3 risk groups with markedly different outcome with 5-year overall survival rates of 65%, 42%, and 8%, respectively (P < .0001; log-rank 28.13; figure below). Notably, the high-risk group comprised 53% of patients. In contrast, IPI only allocated 16% of cases to the high-risk group and had a lower overall predictive capacity (log-rank 24.8). When both FLIPI and IPI were included in a multivariate analysis, only FLIPI was related to survival. In patients treated with CHOP-based regimens (n = 45) FLIPI also had superior predictive capacity compared to IPI (log-rank, 18.51 versus 11.37), and again only FLIPI retained significance in multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis of failure-free survival also identified FLIPI, and not IPI, as independently significant. Conclusion: FLIPI is the superior prognostic model as compared to IPI and should be the preferred clinical prognostic index in mantle cell lymphoma. Overall survival according to FLIPI risk groups Overall survival according to FLIPI risk groups

Background: Nodal mantle cell lymphoma (NMCL) has a worse survival than extra-nodal mantle cell lymphoma. Materials & methods: A cohort study was conducted to evaluate the primary site role as a mortality predictor using data from 1983 to 2011 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Results: Most patients had NMCL in multiple regions (71.9%). There was a significantly increased incidence of NMCL cases over years with 83.2% of them occurred between 1998 and 2011. The mean survival was 52.9 months with overall survival/cancer-specific survival rate of 29.2/42.9%, respectively. Lymph nodes of intrathoracic and multiple regions had a worse overall survival while the head, face and neck, intra-abdominal, pelvic, inguinal region and leg as well as multiple regions had worse cancer-specific survival. Conclusion: NMCL primary site can serve as a prognostic factor. We encourage adding it to MCL International Prognostic Index.

Purpose Mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) has a variable natural history but is incurable with current therapies. MicroRNAs (miRs) are useful in prognostic assessment of cancer. We determined an miR signature defining aggressiveness in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) and assessed whether this signature aids in MCL prognosis. Methods We assessed miR expression in a training set of 43 NHL cases. The miR signature was validated in 44 additional cases and examined on a training set of 119 MCL cases from four institutions in Canada. miRs significantly associated with overall survival were examined in an independent cohort of 114 MCL cases to determine association with patient outcome. miR expression was combined with current clinical prognostic factors to develop an enhanced prognostic model in patients with MCL. Results Fourteen miRs were differentially expressed between aggressive and indolent NHL; 11 of 14 were validated in an independent set of NHL (excluding MCL). miR-127-3p and miR-615-3p were significantly associated with overall survival in the MCL training set. Their expression was validated in an independent MCL patient set. In comparison with Ki-67, expression of these miRs was more significantly associated with overall survival among patients with MCL. miR-127-3p was combined with Ki-67 to create a new prognostic model for MCL. A similar model was created with miR-615-3p and Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index scores. Conclusion Eleven miRs are differentially expressed between aggressive and indolent NHL. Two novel miRs were associated with overall survival in MCL and were combined with clinical prognostic models to generate novel prognostic data for patients with MCL.

This study intended to present a practicable prognostic nomogram for patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The clinical data of 281 patients were reviewed. A nomogram that could predict overall survival (OS) was constructed based on the Cox proportional hazard model. To compare the capacity of the nomogram with the International Prognostic Index (IPI) and MCL International Prognostic Index (MIPI) scoring systems, we used the concordance index (C-index) to validate the veracity and the calibration curve. Age, Eastern Cooperation Oncology Group, lactate dehydrogenase, white cell count and Ki-67 were independent prognostic factors in the multivariate analysis and were subsequently included in the nomogram construction. The C-index was 0.81 and 0.79 in the primary and validation cohorts, respectively, which were superior to the predictive capacity of the IPI and MIPI systems in both cohorts. The nomogram makes it possible for physicians to predict patient OS individually and correctly, but certain limitations are noted.

Abstract Abstract 2703 Poster Board II-679 Introduction: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an incurable disease with a highly variable course. Improvements in therapy have been impeded by the lack of a universal prognostic model, making risk stratification and comparisons across clinical trials difficult. The International Prognostic Index (IPI) and Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI) have been applied but show limitations in MCL, especially in distinguishing low and intermediate-risk patients (pts). The MIPI (Mantle Cell International Prognostic Index) was developed to overcome these limitations, and is based on WBC, age, and LDH (analyzed as continuous variables) and ECOG performance status.1 However, the MIPI has yet to be independently validated, and failed to predict outcome of MCL pts treated with Hyper-CVAD.2 To examine the prognostic capacity of the MIPI, we reviewed outcomes of pts diagnosed with MCL from 1998–2008 at the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute (CCTCI). Methods: Cases of MCL diagnosed at CCTCI were identified from our pathology database, yielding 85 unique pts. These subjects were retrospectively analyzed with approval of our Institutional Review Board. A total of 48 pts with advanced stage disease who underwent immediate treatment (within 90 days of diagnosis), and for whom adequate data for assignment of both MIPI and IPI existed, were the subject of review. Survival was identified from medical records and confirmed using a public social security database. Outcomes were compared using log-rank analysis of Kaplan-Meier survival analyses, and MIPI was calculated in accordance with the initial publication.1 Results: Pt characteristics at diagnosis were: median age 62 (range 39–85), 73% male, 75% ECOG performance status of 0-1, 96% stage IV disease, 52% elevated LDH, and 40% had extranodal involvement other than bone marrow (23% with GI involvement). Six pts had the blastoid variant of MCL. IPI scores at diagnosis were as follows: low (17%)/ low-intermediate (31%)/ high-int (25%)/ high (27%). MIPI scores at diagnosis were: low (33%) / int (25%)/ high(42%). Initial treatment included an anthracycline in 71% and rituximab in 60%. HyperCVAD was given 33%, and 23% underwent upfront (CR1/PR1) autologous transplantation. Median follow-up of survivors is 5.7 years. Median OS and RFS for all pts is 3.9 and 2.5 years, respectively. The IPI distinguished low and high-risk groups, but low-int and high-int groups were closely approximated (Figure 1). On the other hand, the MIPI distinguished 3 separate groups (Figure 2), including a high risk group with a 5-year survival of 11%. The MIPI maintained its prognostic capacity even in HyperCVAD-treated pts (log rank p=.01 for low/int/high MIPI among 16 pts, figure not shown.) The use of regimens including rituximab was not associated with improved OS (log rank p=0.21, comparing rituximab at any time vs none, figure not shown). Conclusions: Based on long-term follow-up of 48 pts diagnosed with MCL at CCTCI from 1998–2008, we verified the accuracy and ease of application of the MIPI for determining prognosis in MCL. On further analysis, rituximab did not impact OS of MCL pts. Clinical trials in MCL should employ the MIPI as a risk-stratification tool, and novel approaches are urgently needed for pts in the high-risk group. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Objective MicroRNAs (miRNAs) with functional relevance have not been previously identified in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Here, we aimed to evaluate the relationships between miR-34a and miR-155-5p and MCL clinicopathology and prognosis. Methods Seventy-five paraffin-embedded tissue samples from patients with MCL who completed at least four cycles of chemotherapy from January 2006 to October 2016, and 27 samples from control patients with reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH), were collected. MiRNA expression levels were measured by qRT-PCR. Results The miR-155-5p levels were significantly higher in patients with MCL than in the controls. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) ≥ 2 and Sex-Determining Region Y-Box transcription factor 11 (SOX11) < median value (M) groups presented lower miR-34a expression than the ECOG < 2 and SOX11 ≥ M groups, respectively. MiR-155-5p expression differed between low, intermediate, and high MCL International Prognostic Index risk groups. The AUCs of miR-34a and miR-155-5p were 0.5819 and 0.7784, respectively. The median survival times of the miR-34a ≤ 0.2150 and miR-155-5p > 2.11 groups were shorter than those of the miR-34a > 0.2150 and miR-155-5p ≤ 2.11 groups, respectively. Conclusions Low miR-34a and elevated miR-155-5p levels may be correlated with poor prognosis in MCL.

AbstractPrimary gastrointestinal (GI) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is rare and the optimal management is unknown. We reviewed 800 newly diagnosed MCL cases and found 22 primary (2.8%) and 79 (9.9%) secondary GI MCL cases. Age, sex, and performance status were similar between primary and secondary cases. Secondary cases had more elevations in lactate dehydrogenase (28% vs 0%, P = 0.03) and a trend for a higher MCL international prognostic index (P = 0.07). Observation or local therapy was more common for primary GI MCL (29% vs 8%, P < 0.01), and autologous stem-cell transplant was more common for secondary GI MCL (35% vs 14%, P < 0.05). The median follow-up was 85 months. Primary and secondary GI MCL had similar 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) (30% vs 28%, P = 0.59) and overall survival (OS) (65% vs 66%, P = 0.83). The extent of GI involvement in primary GI MCL affected treatment selection but not outcome, with a 5-year PFS of 43% vs 14% vs 31% (P = 0.48) and OS of 57% vs 71% vs 69% (P = 0.54) in cases with single lesion vs multiple lesions in 1 organ vs multiple lesions in ≥2 organs. Less aggressive frontline treatment for primary GI MCL is reasonable. It is unknown whether more aggressive treatment can result in improved outcomes.

Abstract Rituximab-containing chemotherapy regimens constitute standard first-line therapy for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Since June 2013, 190 patients ≥18 years of age with MCL in British Columbia have been treated with bendamustine and rituximab (BR). The overall response rate to BR was 88% (54% complete response). Of these, 61 of 89 patients (69%) aged ≤65 years received autologous stem cell transplantation and 141 of 190 patients (74%) from the entire cohort received maintenance rituximab. Twenty-three patients (12%) had progressive disease, associated with high risk per the Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (MIPI), Ki-67 ≥50%, and blastoid/pleomorphic histology. Outcomes were compared with a historical cohort of 248 patients treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP; January 2003 to May 2013). Treatment with BR was associated with significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS), but not overall survival (OS), compared with R-CHOP in the whole cohort (3-year PFS, 66% BR vs 51% R-CHOP, P = .003; 3-year OS, 73% BR vs 66% R-CHOP, P = .054) and in those &gt;65 years of age (3-year PFS, 56% BR vs 35% R-CHOP, P = .001; 3-year OS, 64% BR vs 55% R-CHOP, P = .063). Outcomes in transplanted patients were not statistically significantly different compared with R-CHOP (3-year PFS, 85% BR vs 76% R-CHOP, P = .135; 3-year OS, 90% BR vs 88% R-CHOP, P = .305), although in multivariate analyses, treatment with BR was associated with improved PFS (hazard ratio, 0.40 [95% confidence interval, 0.17-0.94]; P = .036) but not OS. BR is an effective first-line option for most patients with MCL, however, outcomes are suboptimal for those with high-risk features and further studies integrating novel agents are warranted.

Purpose Treatment of mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) is nonstandardized, though patients are commonly treated immediately at diagnosis. Because data on observation, or “watch and wait,” have not been previously reported, we analyzed the outcome of deferred initial therapy. Patients and Methods Inclusion criteria in this retrospective analysis were a diagnosis of MCL between 1997 and 2007 and known date of first treatment. Hospital and research charts were reviewed for prognostic and treatment-related information. Date of death was derived from hospital records and confirmed using an online Social Security death index. Results Of 97 patients with MCL evaluated at Weill Cornell Medical Center, 31 patients (32%) were observed for more than 3 months before initial systemic therapy, with median time to treatment for the observation group of 12 months (range, 4 to 128 months). The observation group (median follow-up, 55 months) had a median age of 58 years (range, 40 to 81 years). Prognostic factors in assessable patients included advanced stage (III/IV) in 75%, elevated lactate dehydrogenase in 25%, and intermediate- or high-risk Mantle Cell International Prognostic Index in 54%. Better performance status and lower-risk standard International Prognostic Index scores were more commonly present in those undergoing observation. Although time to treatment did not predict overall survival in a multivariate analysis, the survival profile of the observation group was statistically superior to that of the early treatment group (not reached v 64 months, P = .004). Conclusion In selected asymptomatic patients with MCL, deferred initial treatment (“watch and wait”) is an acceptable management approach.
