RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The prognostic significance of minimal residual disease (MRD) status before autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHCT) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) has not been clearly elucidated. METHODS: Retrospective single-center study of adult MM patients who achieved ≥very good partial response (VGPR) after induction therapy from 2015 to 2021 received upfront autoHCT and had available pretransplant MRD status by next-generation flow cytometry. The cohort was divided into pretransplant MRD-negative (MRDneg) and MRD-positive (MRDpos) groups. RESULTS: A total of 733 patients were included in our analysis; 425 were MRDneg and 308 MRDpos at autoHCT. In the MRDpos group, more patients had high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities (48% vs. 38%, respectively; p = .025), whereas fewer patients achieved ≥CR before autoHCT (14% vs. 40%; p < .001). At day 100 after autoHCT, 37% of the MRDpos versus 71% of the MRDneg achieved ≥CR, and at best posttransplant response 65% versus 88% achieved ≥CR, respectively. After a median follow-up of 27.6 months (range, 0.7-82.3), the median PFS was significantly shorter for patients in the MRDpos group compared to the MRDneg group: 48.2 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.3-80.5) versus 80.1 months (95% CI, 0.5-80.1), respectively (p < .001). There was no significant difference in overall survival between the two groups (p = .41). Pretransplant MRDpos status was predictive of shorter PFS in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.31-2.46; p < .001). The impact of pretransplant MRD status was retained in most of the examined subgroups. CONCLUSIONS: In patients achieving ≥VGPR to induction, pretransplant MRDpos status was associated with a lower CR rate after autoHCT and a shorter PFS.

The second revision of the International Staging System (R2-ISS) is a simple tool to risk-stratify newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients. Here, we completed a retrospective analysis to evaluate the utility of R2-ISS in NDMM patients who underwent up-front autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HCT). A total of 1291 patients were included, with a median age of 62 years (range 29-83). The distribution of R2-ISS stages was: 123 (10%) stage I, 471 (36%) stage II, 566 (44%) stage III and 131 (10%) stage IV. With a median follow-up of 42.2 months (range 0.3-181.0), the median PFS was 73.0, 65.2, 44.0 and 24.8 months, (p < 0.001) and the median OS was 130.8, 128.5, 94.2 and 61.4 months (p < 0.001) for patients with R2-ISS stages I, II, III and IV respectively. On multivariable analysis (MVA) for PFS, using R2-ISS stage I as reference, R2-ISS stages III (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval], 1.55 [1.05-2.29]; p = 0.028) and IV (2.04 [1.24-3.36]; p = 0.005) were associated with significantly inferior PFS. In the MVA of OS, using R2-ISS stage I as reference, only R2-ISS stage IV was associated with significantly inferior OS (2.43 [1.18-5.01]; p = 0.017). Overall, we found that R2-ISS is a reliable prognostic tool for NDMM patients undergoing up-front auto-HCT.

Improvement of autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) for myeloma is needed. Building on our prior work, we prospectively evaluated panobinostat and gemcitabine/busulfan/melphalan (GemBuMel) with ASCT in this population. Patients aged 18-65 years with relapsed/refractory or high-risk myeloma and adequate end-organ function were eligible. Treatment included panobinostat (20 mg/day, days -9 to -2) and GemBuMel (days -8 to -2). Patients were enrolled in 1st (ASCT-1) or 2nd ASCT (ASCT-2) cohorts. We compared their outcomes with all our other concurrent ASCT patients who met eligibility criteria but received melphalan or BuMel off study, matched for age, prior therapy lines, high-risk cytogenetics, and response at ASCT. We enrolled 80 patients, 48 and 32 in the ASCT-1 and ASCT-2 cohorts, respectively; in these two cohorts, high-risk cytogenetics were noted in 33 and 15 patients, respectively; unresponsive disease in 12 and 11 patients, respectively, after a median of 2 and 3 therapy lines, respectively. Transplant-related mortality (TRM) occurred in two ASCT-2 patients. One-year PFS rates were 69% (ASCT-1) and 72% (ASCT-2); 1-year OS rates were 79% (ASCT-1) and 84% (ASCT-2). Minimal residual disease negativity improved after ASCT-1 (8.5%-23%, p < .0001) and ASCT-2 (34%-55%, p = .02), which correlated with improved outcomes. Trial patients and controls (N = 371) had similar TRM and post-ASCT maintenance. Trial patients had better PFS after either a 1st (p = .02) or a 2nd ASCT (p = .04) than matched-paired control patients. In conclusion, panobinostat/GemBuMel is effective for relapsed/refractory or high-risk myeloma patients, with better PFS than concurrent matched controls receiving melphalan or BuMel.

Here we report on the first prospective study evaluating the safety and long-term survival when an escalating dose of inotuzumab ozogamicin (INO) (0.6, 1.2, or 1.8 mg/m2 on day 13) was added to one alkylator-containing conditioning regimen in patients with relapsed CD22 (+) lymphoid malignancies who were candidates for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Twenty-six patients were enrolled. Six (23%) of these patients entered the phase 1 study: four were treated at an INO dose of 0.6 mg/m2 and two at dose of 1.2 mg/m2. None of these patients experienced dose-limiting toxicities. The remaining 20 (77%) patients entered the phase 2 part of the study at the maximum dose of 1.8 mg/m2. One patient developed VOD; this patient had received nivolumab immediately before HSCT while simultaneously experiencing hyperacute graft-vs-host disease (GVHD). Treatment-related mortality (TRM) at 5 years was 12%. With a median follow-up of 48.7 months, the 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 84% and 80%, respectively. Compared with a historical cohort who received same conditioning for HSCT but without INO (n = 56), the INO group showed no significant differences in incidence of liver toxicity, engraftment time, TRM, or risk of acute GVHD. Patients with lymphoma who received INO had a trend for a better 5-year OS (93% versus 68%) and PFS (93% versus 58%) than those in the control group. In conclusion, our results showed that INO is safe with no increased risk of VOD when combined with one alkylator-containing regimen of HSCT.

BACKGROUND: There is paucity of data regarding outcomes of children, adolescents and young adults (CAYA) patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). METHODS: Patients aged 0-39 years undergoing first ASCT for NHL at MD Anderson Cancer Center between 2000 and 2020 were analyzed. RESULTS: Two hundred twenty-one patients were included in the analysis, 129 (58%) were male and the median age was 32 (range 6-39) years. The most common histological subtypes were diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (44%), T-NHL (19%) and primary mediastinal B-Cell lymphoma (PMBCL) (19%). Younger patients (age ≤ 25) had lower incidence of DLBCL and higher incidence of PMBCL and T-NHL compared to older patients (age > 25) (P = 0.02). None of the younger patients had double hit (DH)/double expressor (DE) DLBCL, compared to 14 patients in the older age group (18%, P = 0.07). Considering the three main aggressive NHL subtypes (DLBCL, PMBCL and T-NHL), younger patients had numerically better 15-year post-transplant progression free survival (PFS) (67% vs. 54%) and overall survival (OS) (71% vs. 62%) compared to older patients, yet these differences did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.19 and P = 0.24, respectively). In multivariate analysis, not achieving a CR prior to ASCT was independently predictive of worse PFS [partial remission (PR) (HR, 3.9); stable disease (SD) (HR, 18.0), P = 0.03] and of worse OS [PR (HR, 4.2), SD (HR, 6.5) and progressive disease (HR, 4.7), P < 0.0001]. DH/DE status was an independent adverse predictor of PFS in multivariate analysis (HR 5.8, p = 0.03). Ten patients (4.5%) (all aged > 25 years) developed second primary malignancies (SPM), at a median of 34.4 (range, 1.0-196.6) months after ASCT, and SPM was the cause of death in five (50%) of them. CONCLUSIONS: CAYA NHL patients aged ≤ 25 years who received ASCT presented a distinct NHL histology as compared to older CAYA patients, and none in this younger age group had DH/DE DLBCL. We observed a trend towards improved PFS and OS in younger patients. Disease status at ASCT was predictive of both PFS and OS. DH/DE status was an adverse predictor of PFS.

ABT199/venetoclax, an inhibitor of the pro-survival BCL-2 protein, has improved AML treatment. Its efficacy in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), when combined with other chemotherapeutic drugs, has not been thoroughly investigated. The present study demonstrates the synergistic cytotoxicity of ABT199/venetoclax with the DNA alkylator thiotepa (Thio) in AML cells. Cleavage of Caspase 3, PARP1 and HSP90, as well as increased Annexin V positivity, suggest potent activation of apoptosis by this two-drug combination; increased levels of γ-H2AX, P-CHK1 (S317), P-CHK2 (S19) and P-SMC1 (S957) indicate an enhanced DNA damage response. Likewise, the increased level of P-SAPK/JNK (T183/Y185) and decreased P-PI3Kp85 (Y458) suggest enhanced activation of stress signaling pathways. These molecular readouts were synergistically enhanced when ABT199/venetoclax and Thio were combined with fludarabine, cladribine and busulfan. The five-drug combination decreased the levels of BCL-2, BCL-xL and MCL-1, suggesting its potential clinical relevance in overcoming ABT199/venetoclax resistance. Moreover, this combination is active against P53-negative and FLT3-ITD-positive cell lines. Enhanced activation of apoptosis was observed in leukemia patient-derived cell samples exposed to the five-drug combination, suggesting a clinical relevance. The results provide a rationale for clinical trials using these two- and five-drug combinations as part of a conditioning regimen for AML patients undergoing HSCT.

ABSTRACT: The introduction of posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis lead to significant improvements in haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT) outcomes over the past decade. We retrospectively assessed long-term outcomes of patients who had their first haplo-SCT between February 2009 and March 2019. Long-term survivors were defined as patients who were alive and disease-free at 2 years after transplant. Three hundred thirty-five patients with a median age of 48 years (range, 18-72) were identified. Of these, 142 patients were disease-free and alive at 2 years after transplant. The 4-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for all study patients were 42% and 47%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 52 months for the long-term survivor group, the 4-year PFS and OS were 94% and 96%, respectively. The 4-year cumulative incidence of relapse and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were 2.9% and 3.3%, respectively. Age ≥55 years was the only predictive factor in multivariate analysis for inferior PFS (hazard ratio [HR], 3.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21-9.60; P = .020) and OS (HR, 3.31; 95% CI, 1.08-10.18; P = .037). Thirteen patients (9%) died in the long-term survivor group, only 2 of whom died of relapsed disease. Secondary primary malignancy was the most frequent cause of NRM (n = 4), followed by infection (n = 2). For haplo-SCT with PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis, our findings suggest an excellent long-term survival for patients who were disease-free and alive at 2 years after transplant. Late relapses were rare, and age was the only predictive factor for long-term outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Maintenance after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) with hypomethylating agents has yielded conflicting results. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a single center retrospective matched-control analysis with the study group (5-azacitidine [AZA] group) including adults with FLT3-negative acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who received post-transplant AZA maintenance off clinical trial (n = 93). A matched control group was comprised of contemporaneous AML/MDS patients who did not receive any maintenance (n = 357). Primary endpoint was disease progression. RESULTS: The AZA and control groups had comparable patient and disease characteristics except for older age (median: 61 vs. 57 years, P = .01) and lower hematopoietic comorbidity index (median: 2 vs. 3, P = .04) in the AZA group. The 3-year cumulative incidence of progression in the AZA and control groups was 29% vs. 33% (P = .09). The protective effect of AZA on progression was limited to patients with high-risk AML/MDS (HR = 0.4, 95% CI = 0.2-0.8, P = .009). This led to improved progression-free survival both in high-risk AML and MDS patients with maintenance (HR = 0.2, 95% CI = 0.1-0.6, P = .004 and HR = 0.4, 95% CI = 0.2-0.9, P = .04). CONCLUSION: AZA maintenance was associated with a lower progression rate in patients with high-risk FLT3-negative AML or MDS, and AZA maintenance should be considered for post-alloHCT maintenance in this subset.

OBJECTIVES: Allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) recipients who are cytomegalovirus (CMV)-seronegative have better post-transplant outcomes than CMV-seropositive recipients. Letermovir (LTV) is approved for CMV primary prophylaxis in adults who are CMV-seropositive after allo-HCT, and its use is associated with improved long-term post-transplant outcomes. We analysed whether LTV has affected the relationship between CMV serostatus and post-transplant outcomes. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective single-centre cohort study of allo-HCT recipients, stratified according to donor (D) and recipient (R). CMV serostatus and the use of LTV: D-/R-, R+/LTV-, and R+/LTV+. Outcomes measured were all-cause and non-relapse mortality, clinically significant CMV infection, graft-versus-host disease, and relapse up to week 48 after allo-HCT. The D-/R- group served as the reference for comparisons in univariate, competing risk regression, and cumulative incidence functions. RESULTS: The analysis included 1071 consecutive allo-HCT recipients: 131 D-/R-, 557 R+/LTV-, and 383 R+/LTV+. All-cause mortality by day 100 was 6.1% for the D-/R- group, compared with 14.0% (p 0.024) and 7.8% (p 0.7) for the R+/LTV- and R+/LTV + groups, respectively. Non-relapse mortality by day 100 was 11.0%, 6.8% and 3.8% for R+/LTV-, R+/LTV+, and D-/R- groups, respectively, without significant difference. When including relapse as a competing event, the hazard ratio for non-relapse mortality was 1.83 (95% CI: 1.12-2.99, p 0.017) for R+/LTV- compared with D-/R- and 1.05 (95% CI 0.62-1.77, p 0.85) for R+/LTV + compared with D-/R-. DISCUSSION: CMV primary prophylaxis with LTV abrogated the mortality gap based on CMV serostatus, a protective effect that persisted after discontinuation of primary prophylaxis.

Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is a rare and aggressive type of peripheral T-cell lymphoma with median overall survival (OS) of approximately 1 year. Data on the effectiveness of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is limited, as is the choice between autologous HCT (auto-HCT) and allogeneic HCT (allo-HCT) in the treatment of this disease. To evaluate the outcome of patients with HSTCL who underwent either auto-HCT or allo-HCT, we performed a multi-institutional retrospective cohort study to assess outcomes of HCT in HSTCL patients. Fifty-three patients with HSTCL were included in the study. Thirty-six patients received an allo-HCT and 17 received an auto-HCT. Thirty-five (66%) were males. Median age at diagnosis was 38 (range 2 to 64) years. Median follow-up for survivors was 75 months (range 8 to 204). The median number of prior lines of therapy was 1 (range 1 to 4). Median OS and progression-free survival (PFS) for the entire cohort were 78.5 months (95% CI: 25 to 79) and 54 months (95% CI: 18 to 75), respectively. There were no significant differences in OS (HR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.28 to 1.45, P = .245) or PFS (HR: 0.7, 95% CI: 0.32 to 1.57, P = .365) between the allo-HCT and auto-HCT groups, respectively. In the allo-HCT group, the 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 35% (95% CI: 21 to 57), while 3-year cumulative incidence of NRM was 16% (95% CI: 7 to 35). In the auto-HCT group, the 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse and NRM were 43% (95% CI: 23 to 78) and 14% (95% CI: 4 to 52), respectively. Both Auto-HCT and Allo-HCT are effective consolidative strategies in patients with HSTCL, and patients should be promptly referred for HCT evaluation.

Background: Patients with B-cell lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who receive chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy may experience clinically significant cytomegalovirus infection (CS-CMVi). However, risk factors for CS-CMVi are not well defined. The aims of our study were to identify risk factors for CS-CMVi and the association between CS-CMVi and nonrelapse mortality (NRM) in lymphoma and ALL patients after CAR-T therapy. Methods: We performed a retrospective single-center cohort analysis of CAR-T recipients between January 2018 and February 2021 for treatment of lymphoma and ALL. We collected data on demographics, oncologic history, CAR-T therapy-related complications, and infectious complications within 1 year of therapy. Results: Of 230 patients identified, 22 (10%) had CS-CMVi. At 1 year following CAR-T therapy, 75 patients (33%) developed relapsed disease and 95 (41%) died; NRM at 1 year was 37%. On Cox regression analysis, Asian or Middle Eastern race (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 13.71 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 5.41-34.74]), treatment of cytokine release syndrome/immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome with steroids (aHR, 6.25 [95% CI, 1.82-21.47]), lactate dehydrogenase at time of CAR-T therapy (aHR, 1.09 [95% CI, 1.02-1.16]), and CMV surveillance (aHR, 6.91 [95% CI, 2.77-17.25]) were independently associated with CS-CMVi. CS-CMVi was independently associated with NRM at 1 year after CAR-T therapy (odds ratio, 2.49 [95% CI, 1.29-4.82]). Conclusions: Further studies of immunologic correlatives and clinical trials to determine the efficacy of prophylactic strategies are needed to understand the role of CS-CMVi and post-CAR-T mortality.
RESUMO
The prognostic impact of additional copies of chromosome 1q (1q + ) on outcomes of newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) patients undergoing autologous transplantation (autoSCT) is unclear. We conducted a retrospective single-center analysis of NDMM patients with 1q21 gain/amplification (3 or ≥4 copies of 1q, respectively) that received autoSCT between 2008-2018. 213 patients were included (79% 1q gain; 21% 1q amplification). The most commonly used induction regimen was bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (41%). At day100 post-autoSCT and at best post-transplant response, 78% and 87% of patients achieved ≥VGPR, and 38% and 50% achieved MRD-negative ≥VGPR, respectively. Median PFS and OS for the entire cohort were 35.5 months and 81.4 months, respectively. On multivariable assessment for PFS, MRD negative ≥VGPR before autoSCT (HR 0.52, p = 0.013) was associated with superior PFS, whereas 1q amplification was associated with inferior PFS (2.03, p = 0.003). On multivariate analysis for OS, achieving MRD negative ≥VGPR at best post-transplant response was associated with superior survival (0.29, p < 0.001), whereas R-ISS III and concomitant del17p or t(4:14) were associated with inferior survival (6.95, p = 0.030, 2.33, p = 0.023 and 3.00, p = 0.047, respectively). In conclusion, patients with 1q+ NDMM, especially 1q amplification, have inferior survival outcomes compared to standard-risk disease after upfront autoSCT, though outcomes are better than other high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities.

Autologous stem cell transplantation (autoHCT) is considered standard of care for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). Although most patients eventually progress after autoHCT, a small proportion achieve a durable response. In this retrospective study we included 1576 patients, 244 (15%) of whom were long-term responders (LTR), defined as having a progression-free survival (PFS) of ≥8 years after transplant. Patients in the LTR group were younger than the non-LTR group (median age 58.4 vs. 59.5 years; p = 0.012), less likely to have high-risk cytogenetics (4% vs. 14%; p < 0.001), more often had <50% bone marrow plasma cells (67% vs. 58%; p = 0.018) and R-ISS stage I disease (43% vs. 34%). More patients in the LTR group received post-transplant maintenance (63% vs. 52%; p = 0.002). Patients in the LTR group had higher rates of complete response (CR) at day100 (41% vs. 27%; p < 0.001) and at best post-transplant response (70% vs. 37%; p < 0.001), compared to the non-LTR group. Patients in the LTR groups had a median PFS of 169.3 months and the median overall survival (OS) had not been reached. The leading cause of death in the LTR was disease progression. In conclusion, 15% of patients in the cohort were LTR after upfront autoHCT, with distinct characteristics and a median PFS of more than 14 years.

Upfront autologous stem cell transplantation (auto-SCT) remains standard of care for eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), although recently its role has been questioned. The aim of the study was to evaluate trends in patient characteristics, treatment, and outcomes of NDMM who underwent upfront auto-SCT over three decades. We conducted a single-center retrospective analysis of patients with NDMM who underwent upfront auto-SCT at MD Anderson Cancer Center between 1988 to 2021. Primary end points were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Patients were grouped by the year of auto-SCT: 1988-2000 (n = 249), 2001-2005 (n = 373), 2006-2010 (n = 568), 2011-2015 (n = 815) and 2016-2021 (n = 1036). High-risk cytogenetic abnormalities were defined as del (17p), t (4;14), t (14;16), and 1q21 gain or amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization. We included 3041 MM patients in the analysis. Median age at auto-SCT increased from 52 years (1988-2000) to 62 years (2016-2021), as did the incidence of high-risk cytogenetics from 15% to 40% (P < .001). Comorbidity burden, as measured by a Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Specific Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) of >3, increased from 17% (1988-2000) to 28% (2016-2021) (P < .001). Induction regimens evolved from predominantly chemotherapy to immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) and proteasome inhibitor (PI) based regimens, with 74% of patients receiving IMiD-PI triplets in 2016-2021 (39% bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (VRD) and 35% carfilzomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone [KRD]). Response rates prior to auto-SCT steadily increased, with 4% and 10% achieving a ≥CR and ≥VGPR compared to 19% and 65% between 1988-2000 and 2016-2021, respectively. Day 100 response rates post auto-SCT improved from 24% and 49% achieving ≥CR and ≥VGPR between 1988-2000 to 41% and 81% between 2016-2021, respectively. Median PFS improved from 22.3 months between 1988-2000 to 58.6 months between 2016-2021 (HR 0.42, P < .001). Among patients with high-risk cytogenetics, median PFS increased from 13.7 months to 36.8 months (HR 0.32, P < .001). Patients aged ≥65 years also had an improvement in median PFS from 33.6 months between 2001 and 2005 to 52.8 months between 2016-2021 (HR 0.56, P = .001). Median OS improved from 55.1 months between 1988-2000 to not reached (HR 0.41, P < .001). Patients with high-risk cytogenetics had an improvement in median OS from 32.9 months to 66.5 months between 2016-2021 (HR 0.39, P < .001). Day 100 non-relapse mortality from 2001 onwards was ≤1%. Age-adjust rates of second primary malignancies were similar in patients transplanted in different time periods. Despite increasing patient age and comorbidity burden, this large real-world study demonstrated significant improvements in the depth of response and survival outcomes in patients with NDMM undergoing upfront auto-SCT over the past three decades, including those with high-risk disease.
