Abstract Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) is a curative therapy for high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, long-term outcomes after alloHCT for adult ALL have not been well described. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 72 consecutive adult ALL patients who underwent a first myeloablative alloHCT at our institution from January 2000-December 2013. Median age at HCT was 38 yrs (range, 18-62), 40 (56%) were male, 18 (38%) had high HCT CI score, 14 (19%) had prior CNS leukemia and 35 (49%) had BCR-ABL+ disease. Donor source was HLA-matched related donor for 50% patients and 90% received PBSC as graft source. All patients were transplanted in CR (72% were in 1st or 2nd CR) and 92% received T-cell replete grafts. Median time from diagnosis to alloHCT was 5 months (range, 2-90). The incidences of grade II-IV and III-IV acute GvHD, chronic GvHD and extensive chronic GvHD were 43%, 13%, 51% and 36%, respectively. The median follow-up for our cohort is 76 months. At 6 years after HCT, probability of overall survival (OS) was 33% (95% CI, 21-44%) and relapse-free survival (RFS) was 30% (95% CI, 19-42%), and the cumulative incidence of relapse was 36% (95% CI, 25-48%) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 37% (95% CI, 26-49%). The most common causes of death were relapse (43%) and infection (21%); majority of relapses occurred within the first 2-years post-transplantation. There were no second cancer related deaths. In multivariable analyses, factors significantly associated with OS were HCT CI score (HR 2.69 for high vs. low/int., P=0.002) and CMV status (HR 2.62 for donor+ vs. others, P=0.05). HCT CI score was the only predictive factor for RFS (HR 2.26 for high, P=0.007). We also compared outcomes by BCR-ABL status. BCR-ABL+ patients were older (median age 42 vs. 36 yrs, p=0.02), had low HCT CI score (34% vs 22%, p=0.01), were more likely to be in CR1 (74% vs. 32%, p=0.002), and as a result, proceeded to HCT sooner after diagnosis (median 4 vs 7 months, p=<0.001). For BCR-ABL+ and BCR-ABL- patients, 6 year OS was 41% and 25%, RFS was 40% and 21%, relapse was 27% and 45% and NRM was 38% and 36% (P=NS for all comparisons). Myeloablative alloHCT can provide long-term survival for selected high-risk adult ALL patients. Relapses are relatively uncommon after 2 years post-transplant. Long-term NRM is high in this population and we did not observe a plateau in its incidence until 7.5 years post-transplant, suggesting the need for long-term follow up to prevent and manage late complications of alloHCT.

7033 Patients (pts) with high risk (HR) or advanced myeloid malignancies have limited effective treatment options. These include high-dose therapy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). We report a single institution long-term follow-up of 96 pts, median age 50 (20–60) yrs, who received HLA matched related HCT between 1992 and 2007. All pts were treated with a uniform preparatory regimen: busulfan 16.0 mg/kg (d-8 to-5), etoposide 60mg/kg (d-4), cyclophosphamide 60mg/kg (d-2), and graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) prophylaxis of cyclosporine and prednisone. Disease status at transplantation was induction failure (IF) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (n = 10), HR AML in 1st complete remission (CR1) n = 11, in CR2 (n = 5), in CR3 (n = 2), relapsed refractory (RR) AML (n = 14), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in second chronic phase (n = 6), blast crisis (n = 2), myelofibrosis (n = 6), myeloproliferative disorders (n = 2), and MDS (n = 38). Thirty-six % (n = 35) of pts received bone marrow while 64 % (n = 61) received G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). With a median follow up of 5.6 yrs (1.6–14.6 yrs) actuarial 5-year overall survival (OS) was 32% (95% CI 22–42%) and 5-year probability for freedom from progression (FFP) was 64% (95% CI 52%-76%). Relapse rate was 32% at 1 year and remained at 36% (95%CI 24%-48%) at 2 and 5 years with no further increase in relapse beyond two years. Non-relapse mortality (NRM) was 29 % (95% CI 20%5–38%) at day 100 and 39% (95% CI 29%-49%) at one yr. Cumulative incidence of acute (grade 3–4) and chronic GVHD was 28% (95% CI 19%-37%) and 38% (95% CI 24%-52%), respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in OS; 31% versus 32% (p = 0.89) or FFP 71% versus 60% (p = 0.29) for recipients of BM versus PBMC with similar results in IF and RR AML. These results confirm that pts with high-risk or advanced myeloid malignancies can achieve long-term survival following myeloablative allogeneic HCT with aggressive conditioning. Relapse and acute GVHD remain significant causes of mortality. Strategies to augment graft-versus-tumor reactions and reduce GVHD remain essential for improving long-term outcomes. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

8506 Background: STaMINA was a phase III trial comparing progression-free survival (PFS) among 758 pts randomized to: 1. second autoHCT then lenalidomide (Len) maintenance (Auto/Auto, n = 247); 2. consolidation with Len/bortezomib/ dexamethasone (RVD) followed by Len maintenance (Auto/RVD, 254); 3. Len maintenance (Auto/Len, 257). All three arms were similar (Stadtmauer JCO 2018). Len maintenance was designed to continue for 3 years and amended to allow continuation until disease progression through a follow up protocol (07LT, NCT#02322320). We report 6 yr follow up for STaMINA and the results of Len discontinuation beyond 3 years. Methods: 07LT was offered to pts who were progression-free at 38 mo; completed planned Len maintenance and were within 4 years of BMT CTN 0702 follow up. Among 431 07LT eligible patients, 273 enrolled and 179 opted to continue maintenance until disease progression. All patients enrolled in STaMINA were reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) and long-term outcomes for patients not enrolled on 07LT (N = 166) were available through this mechanism. Before combining 07LT data and CIBMTR data for LTFU analysis, outcomes in both databases were analyzed separately and confirmed to be comparable. Results: Using intent-to-treat (ITT), 6yr PFS and overall survival (OS) was the same among Auto/Auto (43.9%; 73.1%), Auto/RVD (39.7%, 74.9%) and Auto/Len (40.9%, 76.4%)(p = 0.6; p = 0.8). Protocol defined high risk disease, (HR = 1.53, p < 0.0001) and age (p = 0.03) were adverse risks for PFS. In as treated analysis, 6yr PFS were 49.4%, 39.7% and 38.6% for Auto/auto (170), Auto/RVD (222) and Auto/Len (361), respectively (p = 0.01). 6yr PFS in high risk pts as treated analysis were 43.6% and 26% for Auto/auto and Auto/Len, respectively (p = 0.03). Landmark analysis at 38 mo included 215 pts who continued Len maintenance (either on 07LT study or commercial Len) vs. 207 who stopped. Baseline demographics; study arm on 0702, induction pre-autoHCT were similar. Len discontinuation after 38 mo was associated with inferior PFS (79.5% vs. 61% at 5yr; HR = 1.91, p = 0.0004) but similar OS. Incidence of all second primary malignancies (SPM)(81 cases with 43 heme-malignancies) was associated with age. Conclusions: Long term outcomes are similar using ITT, but as treated analysis suggested a PFS benefit for tandem autoHCT, driven mainly by pts with high risk MM. Len discontinuation even at 38 mo was associated with inferior PFS. Clinical trial information: NCT02322320 .

Abstract Karyotypes like Philadelphia-chromosome (Ph+) and t(4;11) adversely influence clinical outcome in adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) after chemotherapy. Here, we analyze the potential impact of karyotype on outcome after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell therapy (HSCT) in ALL. We present a retrospective analysis of 135 adult ALL patients treated unicentrically within the German ALL (GMALL) protocol using allogeneic HSCT. All patients were high-risk patients in CR1 according to GMALL definitions (i.e., WBC > 30.000/μl, pro-B-ALL, t(4;11), t(9;22), early T- or mature T-ALL, no CR after first induction) or were beyond CR1. Median age of all patients was 29 years (range 16 – 55), 99 B-lineage and 36 T-lineage ALLs were transplanted. Normal karyotype was present in 57 patients, Ph+ in 36 patients, complex chromosomal anomalies in six patients, t(4;11) in five patients, other aberrations in 22 patients and no growth/no cytogenetic data were available for 9 patients. Patients were transplanted in complete remission (CR) CR1 (60), CR2 (23), CR3 (7), first relapse (30), second relapse (6), third relapse (1) and eight patients had primary induction failure. 41 patients received bone marrow and 94 patients received peripheral blood stem cell transplants. Patients received standard high-dose (n=125) or reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) (n=10) HSCT from related (n=58) or unrelated (n=77) donors. Overall, after a median follow-up of 11 months (range 1–120), 74 (55%) patients died and 61 (45%) are alive. Median follow-up of the living is 29 months (range 1–120). Deaths were due to treatment-related mortality (TRM; n=33; 24%) or relapse (n=41; 31%). Leukemia-free survival (LFS), overall survival, and TRM were not significantly different between the karyotype subgroups studied. LFS at 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and five years was 62%, 60%, 50%, and 41% for patients with a normal karyotype; 63%, 47%, 40%, and 28% for patients with Ph+; and 61%, 40%, 27%, and 27% for patients with other aberrations. 4/5 patients with t(4;11) and 4/6 patients with complex chromosomal abnormalities are alive in CR. In conclusion, there is no adverse impact of classical poor risk karyotypes on outcome within this high-risk group of ALL patients after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. In contrast, there was a trend that patients with t(4;11) and complex chromosomal anomalies did better (4/5 alive, 1/5 TRM and 4/6 alive, 1/6 TRM, 1/6 relapse, respectively) than patients with other aberrations (8/22 alive, 8/22 death due to relapse, 6/22 TRM). High-risk ALL patients with poor risk cytogenetics are candidates for allogeneic stem cell transplantation which can be curative. Whether other conditioning regimens or adoptive immunotherapy can reduce relapse rate in this patient group is a matter of ongoing clinical research.

Asparaginase is a basic component of chemotherapy in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and has played a crucial role in improving the long-term survival of this disease. The objectives of this retrospective study were to elucidate the toxicity profile associated with asparaginase in children and adolescents with ALL, to analyze the impact of each type of toxicity on long-term outcomes, and to identify risk factors. We analyzed the medical charts of 165 patients diagnosed with ALL at Sf. Maria Iasi Children’s Hospital from 2010 to 2019 and treated according to a chemotherapeutic protocol containing asparaginase. The median duration of follow-up was 5 years (0.1–11.5 years). Groups of patients with specific types of toxicity were compared to groups of patients without toxicity. We found the following incidence of asparaginase-associated toxicity: 24.1% clinical hypersensitivity, 19.4% hepatotoxicity, 6.7% hypertriglyceridemia, 4.2% hyperglycemia, 3.7% osteonecrosis, 3% pancreatitis, 2.4% thrombosis, and 1.2% cerebral thrombosis. Overall, 82 patients (49.7%) had at least one type of toxicity related to asparaginase. No type of toxicity had a significant impact on overall survival or event-free survival. Being older than 14 years was associated with a higher risk of osteonecrosis (p = 0.015) and hypertriglyceridemia (p = 0.043) and a lower risk of clinical hypersensitivity (p = 0.04). Asparaginase-related toxicity is common and has a varied profile, and its early detection is important for realizing efficient and appropriate management.

Abstract Total body irradiation (TBI)-based conditioning regimens are considered the standard of care for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). However, due to concerns regarding acute and long-term toxicities, non-TBI regimens, commonly including busulfan (BU), have been increasingly explored. We performed a retrospective cohort analysis with the hypothesis that there would be equivalence of these two myeloablative approaches by reviewing outcomes for adult patients (pts), aged 18-60 years, undergoing a first, well-matched sibling, related or unrelated donor HCT in CR1 or CR2 reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) from 2005-2014. Eight hundred nineteen pts received TBI (63% 9-12 Gy, 37% ≥13 Gy) combined with etoposide (25%) or cyclophosphamide (Cy) (75%) and 299 pts received intravenous BU combined with a second alkylator Cy (15%) or melphalan (Mel) (13%), or a nucleoside analogue fludarabine (Flu) (41%) or clofarabine (Clo)(30%). The majority of the BU-based pts were treated at the Moffitt or MD Anderson Cancer Center. The BU-based regimens were grouped together for analyses since no significant differences in basic outcomes among the different chemotherapy-only regimens were noted. Patients in the BU-containing group were older but had better performance status, took longer to achieve CR1 and longer to receive HCT; more received peripheral blood than marrow grafts, peri-HCT ATG, pre- and post HCT tyrosine kinase inhibitors ( TKI), and were treated more recently than pts in the TBI-based group (Table 1). With median follow-up of 3.6 years for the BU-based group and 5.3 years for the TBI-based group, adjusted 3 year outcomes showed treatment-related mortality (TRM) BU 19% vs. TBI 25% (p=.04); relapse BU 37% vs. TBI 28% (p=.007); disease-free survival (DFS) Bu 45% vs. TBI 48% (p=.35); and overall survival (OS) BU 57% vs. TBI 53% (p=.35) (Figures A-B). Patients in the BU group had significantly more grade II-IV acute GVHD (47% vs. 40%, p=.025), but marginally less chronic GVHD (49% vs. 55% at 3 years, p=.073). In multivariate analysis, the BU group had a significantly higher rate of acute GVHD after day 50 (RR 1.75, 95% CI 1.19-2.58, p=.004), but marginally less chronic GVHD (RR 0.83, 95% CI 0.68-1.01 p=.059) and higher risk of relapse (RR 1.46, 95% CI 1.15-1.85 p=.002) compared with TBI-based regimens. Despite the observed higher risks of acute GVHD and relapse, BU-based conditioning led to similar TRM, OS, and DFS following HCT for ALL. Table 1 Table 1. Figure Figure.

Abstract A total of 216 cases of matched and mismatched-haploidentical HCT from family donors have been performed since May 2002 in our Institute. The purpose of this analysis is to compare the GvHD, relapse rate and their risk factors for complications and survival. The feasibility of the present regimen can then be evaluated. In the arm of mismatched-haploidentical HCT, GIAC regimen (G-CSF priming hematopoietic cells collection; immunosuppression intensified and prolonged; ATG being used; combination use of BM + PB) was used for the first time. It was developed for patients without HLA matched related or unrelated donors. However, in HLA matched HCT, ATG was not used. The two groups were comparable in disease diagnoses, sex, and prophylaxis of GvHD, number of MNC/kg and use of G-CSF post-transplant. The great majority of recruited patients had hematological malignancies. A few were cases of SAA. There were significantly more patients in advanced stage or in high-risk status in mismatched-haploidentical HCT group. After median value of 9(2–260 months follow up, the results are shown in Table 1. Table 1. Survival and causes of Death (2-year Kaplan-Meire Estimates) Characteristics and Outcomes Matched Mismatched-haploidentical No. Of Patients 116 100 Age (yr.) 37 (12–62) 23 (3–52) Status of Patients Standard Risk 86 (74.8%) 44 (44%) High Risk 30 (25.2%) 56 (56%) Days post-transplant ANC>0.5x109/L 16.4 12 Platelets>20x109/L 16.9 17 Acute GvHD <100 days 0-I 48.6% 52% II 38.6% 35% III-IV 12.8% 13% Chronic GvHD 62.5% 63.3% Extensive 18.7% 18.3% Overall survival for 1 year 81.2% 72% Relapse related mortality 5.17% 6% Non-relapse related mortality 11.2% 16% In summary, compared to matched HCT, GIAC regimen for mismatche-haploidentical HCT is sufficiently safe for patients.
