Abstract Introduction: Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma represents a heterogeneous group of lymphoid malignancies characterized by poor prognosis with 5-year overall survival (OS) about 25% with conventional chemotherapy. Autologous stem cell transplant (Auto-SCT), as consolidation, is often considered in first complete remission (CR), providing between 30 to 40% long term disease-free survival. However, patients receiving Auto-SCT in second CR or with refractory disease have poor outcomes with progression-free survival ranging from 15-20% to 0%, respectively. In such cases, allogeneic stem cell transplant (Allo-SCT) may provide long term disease control. We intended to study outcomes of Allo-SCT in peripheral T-cell lymphoma patients. Methods: We have retrospectively evaluated long-term outcomes of adult peripheral T-cell lymphoma patients at Karmanos Cancer Institute. The objectives were to determine GVHD rate, overall survival (OS), relapse rate, progression-free survival (PFS) and non-relapse mortality (NRM) following Allo-SCT. Results: Between January 2005 and December 2017, 39 patients underwent Allo-SCT. The different diagnoses included peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not-otherwise-specified (n=16), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (n=8), anaplastic T-cell lymphoma (n=8), hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (n=2), cutaneous T-cell (n=3) and NK cell lymphoma (n=2). The median age at transplant was 50 years (range, 21-67). The median number of prior therapies was 2 (range, 1-5) and 12 patients (31%) had failed prior Auto-SCT. Sixteen patients (41%) were in CR and 2 (5%) were in partial remission at the time of Allo-SCT, whereas 12 (31%) patients had relapsed disease and 9 (23%) had refractory disease. Twenty-one patients (54%) received matched related and 18 patients (46%) had unrelated Allo-SCT. Myeloablative conditioning regimen was used in 22 patients (56%), whereas reduced intensity regimen was used in 17 (44%) patients. Grade III-IV acute GVHD occurred in 25.6% (95% CI, 13.2-40.1%) and chronic GVHD occurred in 41% (95% CI, 25.1-56.3%). After a median follow-up of 3.08 years (95% CI, 2.49-7.28) among surviving patients, the estimated probabilities of 3-year OS and PFS were 35.9% (95% CI, 22.4-57.6%) and 32.5% (95% CI, 19.9-53%), respectively. The 3-year relapse rate was 23.9% (95% CI, 11.5-38.7%), whereas NRM was 35.9% (95% CI, 21.1-50.9%). No difference in OS and PFS was noticed in patients receiving Allo-SCT in first CR compared with patients receiving Allo-SCT beyond first CR (p=0.81; p=0.94). Similarly, no difference in OS and PFS was noted in patients with Allo-SCT followed by failed prior Auto-SCT compared with patients with upfront Allo-SCT (p=0.31; p=0.47). Seventeen of 39 patients were alive and 22 were deceased (n=7 disease relapse; n=15 NRM). Out of 39 patients, 13 (33%) alive patients are free of relapse and GVHD as of data analysis. Conclusion: Our study suggests that Allo-SCT is a viable treatment option for peripheral T-cell lymphoma and appears to provide cure in these highly selected patients. The survival advantage was noted in patients beyond first remission; therefore, it should be considered in all transplant eligible patients. In addition, certain proportion of patients who failed prior Auto-SCT benefited from Allo-SCT, which points towards potential role of graft-versus-lymphoma effect.

e19538 Background: Peripheral T-cell lymphoma is a rare entitydisease, compromising 10% of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma worldwide and 5% of all lymphoid neoplasms in the United States. The long-term survival of conventional therapies has led the exploration of alternatives. High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, has been explored in recent years with little experiences. We are reporting our single-institute data in this population. Methods: A retrospective analysis on patients with diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma receiving autologous stem cell transplant was conducted (January 1997 to July 2008). The patients were stratified according to their International Prognostic Index (IPI), disease status at the time of transplant and histology type. Results: Twenty-nine subjects were identified, with a median age of 51; 13 patients had Anaplastic T cell, 18 patient had PTCL-nos, and 6 patients with angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma. Seventeen patients (58.62%) presented with an aa IPI score greater than 2.4 patients were in complete remission, 15 at first relapse, 4 in greater than 1 episode, and 6 with refractory disease at the time of transplantion.Kaplan Meier overall survival (OS) 72 and relapse free survival (RFS) was 62 at 1 year respectively. A multivariate analysis and new risk stratification based on the IPI score system and disease status at time of transplant were employed. We found that the lower risk category demonstrated a higher likelihood of longer survival HR 3.4. However, such outcome was not statistically significant (p = 0.1360). Conclusions: The status at time of transplant with new methods for evaluation of minimal residual disease may help in assessing outcome. Larger prospective studies investigating innovative regimens is warranted. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

7533 Background: Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) have suboptimal outcomes with conventional chemotherapy. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (AHCT) is a therapeutic strategy for patients in first complete or partial remission (CR1 or PR1), with median progression-free survival (PFS) after AHCT of 36-48% by intent to treat (d’Amore et al JCO 2012, Reimer et al JCO 2009). Romidepsin (romi) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor approved for treatment of relapsed/refractory T-cell lymphoma. We present updated data of the first multicenter study to evaluate PFS of patients (pts) receiving maintenance therapy with romi after AHCT. Methods: This was a phase 2, open-label, investigator-initiated study (expected PFS 45%, desired PFS 70%; success achieved if 15 or more pts out of 25 were progression-free at 2 years post-AHCT). 26 pts transplanted in CR1 or PR1 were evaluable for the primary endpoint of 2-year PFS (Cohort 1, Table). An exploratory cohort (Cohort 2, n=7) enrolled pts either transplanted ≥ CR/PR2 (n=5) or with high risk histologies (n=2). Pts underwent AHCT with carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine and melphalan (BEAM) conditioning. Maintenance romi 14 mg/m2 started days 42-80 post AHCT; every other week through 6 mon, every 3 weeks through 1 year and every 4 weeks through 2 years post AHCT. PFS was estimated by Kaplan-Meier. Results: 47 pts consented; 13 did not receive romi (no AHCT, n=2; relapse before romi, n=3; cardiac comorbidity, n=3, patient declined, n=5). 1 consented pt did not have PTCL. 15 out of the first 25 pts in Cohort 1 were progression free after 2 years; median follow up of 31 mon (21 - 36 mon). Estimated 2-year PFS was 62% (45-83%, 95% CI); median PFS 30 mon (12.0- NA, 95% CI). In Cohort 2, estimated 2-year PFS was 43% (18 – 100, 95% CI); median follow up of 30 mon (range, 24 – 37 mon); median PFS 14 mon (5 – NA, 95% CI). Across cohorts, 5 pts required dose reduction. The most common toxicities (≥10% of pts, all grades) were fatigue (n=24, 73%), decreased platelets (n=16, 48%) and anemia (n=16, 48%). Conclusions: While the study did not meet its desired primary efficacy endpoint, maintenance romi was well-tolerated with an estimated 2-year PFS of 62%, greater than historical data. A larger, randomized study would be needed to determine the superiority of this approach. Clinical trial information: NCT01908777. [Table: see text]

Abstract Abstract 3420 Poster Board III-308 Background Stem cell transplant (SCT) may be offered as a curative approach in patients with chemotherapy-sensitive peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Thus, new agents with the ability to induce a response for relapsed or refractory patients are important to identify. This analysis evaluated SCT use before or after pralatrexate, a new anti-folate, as monotherapy in the PROPEL study. Methods Patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL received pralatrexate 30 mg/m2 by IV push once weekly for 6 weeks in 7-week cycles with vitamin B12 and folic acid supplementation in PROPEL. Eligibility criteria included histologic confirmation of PTCL by central review, disease progression after ≥ 1 prior treatment, and ECOG performance status £ 2. Response was assessed centrally using the International Workshop Criteria. Patients who had received prior allogeneic SCT were not permitted to enroll. Patients with prior autologous SCT were eligible if they had not relapsed within 75 days of SCT. There were no restrictions on SCT after completing study treatment. Subsequent post-pralatrexate therapies were recorded during follow up until patient death, loss to follow-up, or data cutoff. Results One-hundred and nine patients in the PROPEL trial were evaluable for response. Eighteen (16%) had received autologous SCT previously, including 8 (7%) patients for whom SCT was the most recent therapy prior to study enrollment. The overall response rate (ORR: complete response [CR/CRu] or partial response [PR]) was 33% (6/18), including 2 CRs, for patients with a prior autologous SCT at any time prior to receiving pralatrexate and 63% (5/8), including 2 CRs, for those patients whose most recent therapy was autologous SCT. Patients were followed from initiation of pralatrexate for a median of 10.5 months (range, 1.0-24.0). Of the 109 patients who were evaluable for response, 6 (6%) patients went on to SCT (2 autologous SCT, 4 allogeneic SCT) as their initial subsequent therapy after responding to pralatrexate according to investigator assessment of response. Four of these patients were still in response by central review at the time they started SCT. At the time of data cutoff, no additional therapy was administered to any of these 4 patients post SCT. The other 2 patients had PRs by investigator review and progressive disease by central review at the time SCT was started; neither of these patients had additional therapy documented after SCT. All 6 patients were alive at the time of last contact. Conclusions The PROPEL trial showed that pralatrexate as a single agent had activity, including CRs, in patients who relapsed following an autologous SCT. The PROPEL trial also demonstrated that patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL can proceed to subsequent SCT after achieving a response with pralatrexate, permitting these patients a transplant option and potential cure.

Abstract Background. Peripheral T cell Lymphoma (PTCL) represent a major therapeutic challenge. In the previous Verona experience (Todeschini G et al. Cancer2005;104:555–560), the novel intensive regimen HyperCHiDAM Verona897 (high-dose IV MTX 2 g/sqm 400 sqm bolus, 1600 sqm CI day 1 with IV leucovorin rescue; hyperfractionated IV CTX 300 mg/sqm Q12h, dd 2–4; high-dose IV AraC 2g/sqm Q12h, dd 2-4; plus G-CSF) achieved salutary results in refractory/relapsed aggressive lymphomas, in particular in PTCL. Supportive measures included hydratation 3000 ml/sqm/day, antimicrobial prophylaxis comprising oral ciprofloxacin, itraconazole, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. CMV antigenemia (pp65) was monitored 2 times a week. Patients. Following these results, 7 centers belonging to the Italian co-operative group GITIL (Gruppo Italiano Terapie Innovative Linfomi) treated with 2 cycles of HyperCHiDAM Verona897, 33 patients affected by PTCL (17 upfront, 16 refractory/relapsed) followed in the majority of cases by stem cell transplant. Patients: M/F 21/12, median age 49 (19–63) years; histology: PTCL-NOS 15, ALCL ALK-negative 9, EALTC 4, AIL 3, T-NK nasal 1, Angiocentric 1; stage IV 19/33 (57.5%), bone-marrow positive 10/33 (30.3%), extranodal involvement 24/33 (72.7%), high LDH 18/33 (54.5%). Seven patients needing urgent treatment were treated before HyperCHiDAM with 1 cycle of Campath-CHOP (4 patients) or CHOP + L-ASE (3 patients). Results. Upfront patients: after 2 cycles of HyperCHiDAM, CR were 82.3% (14/17), early toxic deaths 0 (1 late toxic death occurred after SCT, due to CMV pneumonia), relapses 3/14. With a median follow-up of 21 months (3–90+), 11/17 (64.7%) patients are disease-free, 10 in first CR, 1 after rescue with stem cell transplant. Three of the CCR patients received HyperCHiDAM alone. Refractory/relapsed patients: CR were 5/16 (31.2%), CCR 4/16 (25%), with a median follow-up of 24 months (5–64+). The progression-free survival was significantly superior in upfront patients (p=0.036). Overall, toxic deaths were 3/33 (9%), 1/17 (5.8%) in upfront and 2/16 (12.5%) in refractory/relapsed patients. One patient had major cerebellar toxicity. Conclusions. The intensive regimen HyperCHiDAM Verona897 is effective in inducing CR in aggressive PTCL, in particular as upfront therapy. The intensiveness of this treatment requires a careful supportive therapy. Following these results, HyperCHiDAM has been included in a national trial for treatment of PTCL, after 2 cycles of Campath-CHOP and before stem cell transplant (allogeneic or autologous depending on the availability of an HLA-matched sibling). The co-operative study is recruiting.
