RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The increasing use of anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies (αCD38 mAbs) for newly diagnosed or early relapsed multiple myeloma (MM), especially in non-transplant eligible patients, may lead to more patients developing αCD38 mAb-refractory disease earlier in the treatment course with fewer treatment options. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analyzed the efficacy and safety of selinexor-based triplets (selinexor+dexamethasone [Sd] plus pomalidomide [SPd, n = 23], bortezomib [SVd, n = 16] or carfilzomib (SKd, n = 23]) in a subset of STOMP (NCT02343042) and BOSTON (NCT03110562) study patients treated previously with αCD38 mAbs. RESULTS: Sixty-two patients (median 4 prior therapies, range 1 to 11, 90.3% refractory to αCD38 mAb) were included. Overall response rates (ORR) in the SPd, SVd and SKd cohorts were 52.2%, 56.3%, and 65.2%, respectively. Overall response rate was 47.4% among patients who had MM refractory to the third drug reintroduced in the Sd-based triplet. Median progression-free survival in the SPd, SVd, and SKd cohorts was 8.7, 6.7, and 15.0 months, respectively, and median overall survival was 9.6, 16.9, and 33.0 months, respectively. Median time to discontinuation in the SPd, SVd, and SKd cohorts was 4.4, 5.9, and 10.6 months, respectively. The most common hematological adverse events were thrombocytopenia, anemia, and neutropenia. Nausea, fatigue, and diarrhea were primarily grade 1/2. Adverse events were generally manageable with standard supportive care and dose modifications. CONCLUSION: Selinexor-based regimens may offer effective and well-tolerated therapy to patients with relapsed and/or refractory MM who had disease previously exposed or refractory to αCD38 mAb therapy and could help address the unmet clinical need in these high-risk patients.

There is a lack of consensus on therapy sequencing in previously treated multiple myeloma, particularly after anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) therapy. Earlier reports on selinexor (X) regimens demonstrated considerable efficacy in early treatment, and after anti-BCMA-targeted chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy. Here, we present data from 11 heavily pretreated patients who predominantly received BCMA-antibody-drug conjugate therapy. We observe that X-containing regimens are potent and achieve durable responses with numerically higher overall response and clinical benefit rates, as well as median progression free survival compared to patients' prior anti-BCMA therapies, despite being used later in the treatment course. In an area of evolving unmet need, these data reaffirm the efficacy of X-based regimens following broader anti-BCMA therapy.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a disease of older adults, who are vulnerable to socio-economic factors. We determined AML incidence in older adults and the impact of socio-economic factors on outcomes. METHODS: We included 3024 AML patients (1996-2016) identified from a population-based registry. RESULTS: AML incidence in patients ≥60 years increased from 11.01 (2001-2005) to 12.76 (2011-2016) per 100 000 population. Among 879 patients ≥60 years in recent eras (2010-2016), rural residents (<100 000 population) were less likely to be assessed by a leukaemia specialist (39% rural, 47% urban, p = .032); no difference was seen for lower (43%, quintile 1-3) vs. higher (47%, quintile 4-5) incomes (p = .235). Similar numbers received induction chemotherapy between residence (16% rural, 18% urban, p = .578) and incomes (17% lower, 17% high, p = 1.0). Differences between incomes were seen for hypomethylating agent treatment (14% low, 20% high, p = .041); this was not seen for residence (13% rural, 18% urban, p = .092). Among non-adverse karyotype patients ≥70 years, 2-year overall survival was worse for rural (5% rural, 12% urban, p = .006) and lower income (6% low, 15% high, p = .017) patients. CONCLUSIONS: AML incidence in older adults is increasing, and outcomes are worse for older rural and low-income residents; these patients face treatment barriers.

BACKGROUND: Proteasome inhibitors (PIs), including carfilzomib, potentiate the activity of selinexor, a novel, first-in-class, oral selective inhibitor of nuclear export (SINE) compound, in preclinical models of multiple myeloma (MM). METHODS: The safety, efficacy, maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of selinexor (80 or 100 mg) + carfilzomib (56 or 70 mg/m2) + dexamethasone (40 mg) (XKd) once weekly (QW) was evaluated in patients with relapsed refractory MM (RRMM) not refractory to carfilzomib. RESULTS: Thirty-two patients, median prior therapies 4 (range, 1-8), were enrolled. MM was triple-class refractory in 38% of patients and 53% of patients had high-risk cytogenetics del(17p), t(4;14), t(14;16) and/or gain 1q. Common treatment-related adverse events (all/Grade 3) were thrombocytopenia 72%/47% (G3 and G4), nausea 72%/6%, anaemia 53%/19% and fatigue 53%/9%, all expected and manageable with supportive care and dose modifications. MTD and RP2D were identified as selinexor 80 mg, carfilzomib 56 mg/m2, and dexamethasone 40 mg, all QW. The overall response rate was 78% including 14 (44%) ≥ very good partial responses. Median progression-free survival was 15 months. CONCLUSIONS: Weekly XKd is highly effective and well-tolerated. These data support further investigation of XKd in patients with MM.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological cancer associated with significant symptomatic burden. Bone disease, renal insufficiency, cytopenias, infection, and peripheral neuropathy, among other disease manifestations and complications, impair patients' quality of life. The Canadian Myeloma Research Group Consensus Guideline Consortium, formerly Myeloma Canada Research Network Consensus Guideline Consortium, proposes national consensus recommendations for the management of MM-related manifestations and complications. To address the needs of Canadian physicians and people living with MM across the country, this document focuses on the improvement and maintenance of patient care by clarifying best-practice approaches for the prevention, detection and management of disease manifestations and complications. The Canadian Myeloma Research Group Consensus Guideline Consortium will periodically review the recommendations herein and update as necessary.

High cytogenetic risk abnormalities confer poor outcomes in multiple myeloma patients. In POLLUX, daratumumab/lenalidomide/dexamethasone (D-Rd) demonstrated significant clinical benefit versus lenalidomide/dexamethasone (Rd) in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients. We report an updated subgroup analysis of POLLUX based on cytogenetic risk. The cytogenetic risk was determined using fluorescence in situ hybridization/karyotyping; patients with high cytogenetic risk had t(4;14), t(14;16), or del17p abnormalities. Minimal residual disease (MRD; 10-5) was assessed via the clonoSEQ® assay V2.0. 569 patients were randomized (D-Rd, n = 286; Rd, n = 283); 35 (12%) patients per group had high cytogenetic risk. After a median follow-up of 44.3 months, D-Rd prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) versus Rd in standard cytogenetic risk (median: not estimable vs 18.6 months; hazard ratio [HR], 0.43; P < 0.0001) and high cytogenetic risk (median: 26.8 vs 8.3 months; HR, 0.34; P = 0.0035) patients. Responses with D-Rd were deep, including higher MRD negativity and sustained MRD-negativity rates versus Rd, regardless of cytogenetic risk. PFS on subsequent line of therapy was improved with D-Rd versus Rd in both cytogenetic risk subgroups. The safety profile of D-Rd by cytogenetic risk was consistent with the overall population. These findings demonstrate the improved efficacy of daratumumab plus standard of care versus standard of care in RRMM, regardless of cytogenetic risk.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell (PC) malignancy of terminally differentiated B lymphocytes that is typically associated with the secretion of partial and/or complete monoclonal immunoglobulins and a constellation of particular symptoms and signs. MM is a treatable condition, and timely diagnosis is essential to limit or avoid irreversible target-organ damage and to prolong survival. The Myeloma Canada Research Network Consensus Guideline Consortium (MCRN-CGC) proposes national consensus recommendations for the diagnosis of MM and associated PC neoplasms. The focus is on widely available tests but also highlights recent advancements that are important to include in the diagnostic paradigm. By clarifying and updating the required laboratory, radiographic, and bone marrow investigations, the MCRN-CGC hopes to address the needs of Canadian physicians and people living with MM across the country through accurate and timely diagnosis of MM, as well as appropriate initial stratification to improve treatment selection and outcomes. The MCRN-CGC will periodically review the recommendations herein and update as necessary. Recommendations on the therapeutic approaches and associated monitoring of MM will follow.

BACKGROUND: B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a cell-surface receptor of the tumour necrosis superfamily required for plasma cell survival. BMCA is universally detected on patient-derived myeloma cells and has emerged as a selective antigen to be targeted by novel treatments in multiple myeloma. We assessed the safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical activity of GSK2857916, a novel anti-BCMA antibody conjugated to microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin F, in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. METHODS: We did an international, multicentre, open-label, first-in-human phase 1 study with dose escalation (part 1) and dose expansion (part 2) phases, at nine centres in the USA, Canada, and the UK. Adults with histologically or cytologically confirmed multiple myeloma, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0 or 1, and progressive disease after stem cell transplantation, alkylators, proteasome inhibitors, and immunomodulators were recruited for this study. In part 1, patients received GSK2857916 (0·03-4·60 mg/kg) through 1 h intravenous infusions once every 3 weeks. In part 2, patients received the selected recommended phase 2 dose of GSK2857916 (3·40 mg/kg) once every 3 weeks. Primary endpoints were maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase 2 dose. Secondary endpoints for part 2 included preliminary anti-cancer clinical activity. All patients who received one or more doses were included in this prespecified administrative interim analysis (data cutoff date June 26, 2017), which was done for internal purposes. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02064387, and is ongoing, but closed for recruitment. FINDINGS: Between July 29, 2014, and Feb 21, 2017, we treated 73 patients: 38 patients in the dose-escalation part 1 and 35 patients in the dose-expansion part 2. There were no dose-limiting toxicities and no maximum tolerated dose was identified in part 1. On the basis of safety and clinical activity, we selected 3·40 mg/kg as the recommended phase 2 dose. Corneal events were common (20 [53%] of 38 patients in part 1 and 22 [63%] of 35 in part 2); most (18 [47%] in part 1 and 19 [54%] in part 2) were grade 1 or 2 and resulted in two treatment discontinuations in part 1 and no discontinuations in part 2. The most common grade 3 or 4 events were thrombocytopenia (13 [34%] of 38 patients in part 1 and 12 [34%] of 35 in part 2) and anaemia (6 [16%] in part 1 and 5 [14%] in part 2). There were 12 treatment-related serious adverse events and no treatment-related deaths. In part 2, 21 (60·0%; 95% CI 42·1-76·1) of 35 patients achieved an overall response. INTERPRETATION: At the identified recommended phase 2 dose, GSK2857916 was well tolerated and had good clinical activity in heavily pretreated patients, thereby indicating that this might be a promising candidate for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to estimate the association between organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and multiple myeloma (MM). METHODS: The risk of MM from organochlorine compounds was examined in a population-based case-control study in British Columbia, Canada. Congeners of PCBs and pesticides or pesticide metabolites were measured in plasma of 325 cases and 327 controls. RESULTS: Most organochlorine analytes showed a significant association with MM. The strongest association (highest vs lowest quartile) was oxychlordane (odds ratioâ=â7.44; 95% confidence intervalâ=â4.19 to 13.21). No heterogeneity was detected between organochlorines levels and MM subtypes. Only oxychlordane and ß-hexachlorocyclohexane (ß-HCCH) were identified as significant independent predictors of MM. CONCLUSION: Our study provides evidence that organochlorines contribute to the risk of MM.

In the POLLUX study, daratumumab plus lenalidomide/dexamethasone significantly reduced risk of progression/death versus lenalidomide/dexamethasone alone in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. We provide one additional year of follow up and include the effect on minimal residual disease and in clinically relevant subgroups. After 25.4 months of follow up, daratumumab plus lenalidomide/dexamethasone prolonged progression-free survival versus lenalidomide/dexamethasone alone (median not reached vs 17.5 months; hazard ratio, 0.41; 95% confidence interval, 0.31-0.53; P<0.0001). The overall response rate was 92.9% versus 76.4%, and 51.2% versus 21.0% achieved a complete response or better, respectively (both P<0.0001). At the 10-5 sensitivity threshold, 26.2% versus 6.4% were minimal residual disease-negative, respectively (P<0.0001). Post hoc analyses of clinically relevant patient subgroups demonstrated that progression-free survival was significantly prolonged for daratumumab plus lenalidomide/dexamethasone versus lenalidomide/dexamethasone regardless of number of prior lines of therapy. Patients previously treated with lenalidomide or thalidomide and those refractory to bortezomib received similar benefits (all P<0.01). Treatment benefit with daratumumab plus lenalidomide/dexamethasone was maintained in high-risk patients (median progression-free survival 22.6 vs 10.2 months; hazard ratio, 0.53; 95% confidence interval, 0.25-1.13; P=0.0921) and patients with treatment-free intervals of >12 and ≤12 months and >6 and ≤6 months. No new safety signals were observed. In relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients, daratumumab plus lenalidomide/dexamethasone continued to improve progression-free survival and deepen responses versus lenalidomide/dexamethasone.

INTRODUCTION: Optimal post-remission therapy (PRT) for intermediate risk acute myeloid leukemia remains an area of ongoing research. We aimed to retrospectively compare outcomes following autologous stem cell transplantation (autoSCT) with allogeneic SCT (alloSCT) and consolidation chemotherapy (CMT) in patients with intermediate-risk karyotype AML in first complete remission. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We compared overall survival (OS) and leukemia-free survival (LFS) using propensity score (PS)-adjusted analysis of patients receiving PRT with autoSCT, matched sibling (MSD) alloSCT, unrelated/mismatch (UD/MM) alloSCT, and CMT. We included patients diagnosed between 1984 and 2003 (period of autoSCT at our center) in CR1 following induction CMT and received at least 2 consolidative cycles. RESULTS: We identified 190 patients (62 MSD-alloSCT, 18 UD/MM-alloSCT, 30 autoSCT, and 80 CMT). Baseline characteristics were used for PS calculation and were well-balanced after weight adjustment. The median follow-up for patients surviving beyond 1 year was 8.7 years. We excluded 55 patients based on PS calculation. Adjusted multivariate hazard ratio (HR), 95% confidence interval (CI) and P-value for OS, considering CMT as reference, were: MSD-alloSCT (HR, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.2-0.8; P = .009), UD/MM-alloSCT (HR, 1.5; 95% CI, 0.6-3.9; P = .363), and autoSCT (HR, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.5-3.1; P = .666), respectively. Adjusted multivariate HR, 95% CI and P-value for LFS were MSD-alloSCT (HR, 0.3; 95% CI, 0.2-0.6; P < .001), UD/MM-alloSCT (HR, 1.1; 95% CI, 0.4-2.7; P = .854), and autoSCT (HR, 0.8; 95% CI, 0.3-2.2; P = .697), respectively. CONCLUSION: Patients with intermediate risk-karyotype acute myeloid leukemia who underwent MSD-alloSCT in first complete remission had the best outcomes. There were no survival differences between autoSCT, UD/MM-alloSCT, and CMT. Further study incorporating molecular changes and minimal residual disease status is warranted to select appropriate patients for autoSCT.

Treatment of Burkitt lymphoma (BL) with intensive, multi-agent chemotherapy with aggressive central nervous system (CNS) prophylaxis results in high cure rates, although no regimen is standard of care. We examined population-based survival outcomes of adults with BL treated with a modified combination of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, prednisone and systemic high-dose methotrexate (MTX) (CODOX-M) with IVAC (ifosfamide, mesna, etoposide, cytarabine and intrathecal MTX) (CODOX-M/IVAC) ± rituximab over a 15-year period in British Columbia. For the 81 patients identified (including 8 with CNS involvement and 18 with human immunodeficiency virus-associated BL), 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 75% [95% confidence interval (CI): 63-83%] and 77% (95% CI: 66-85%), respectively, with no treatment-related deaths. Those who completed the regimen per protocol (n = 38) had significantly improved 5-year PFS 86% (P = 0·04) and OS 92% (P = 0·008), as did those under 60 years with 5-year PFS 82% (P = 0·005) and OS 86% (P = 0·002), which remained significant in multivariate analysis [PFS: hazard ratio (HR) 3·36, P = 0·018; OS HR 4·03, P = 0·012]. Incorporation of high-dose systemic methotrexate also significantly affected multivariate survival outcomes (OS HR 0·28, P = 0·025). Stem cell transplant in first remission had no effect on OS or PFS. This large, real-world analysis of BL patients treated with CODOX-M/IVAC ± rituximab demonstrates excellent survival outcomes comparable to clinical trials. These results help to serve as a benchmark when comparing curative therapies for BL patients as novel regimens are incorporated into clinical practice.

BACKGROUND: Previous results from an interim analysis of an open-label, randomized, phase 3 study demonstrated that bortezomib combined with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) was superior to bortezomib monotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who had previously received one or more lines of therapy. Protocol-defined final survival data from that study are provided here. METHODS: Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive either bortezomib alone (1.3 mg/m(2) intravenously on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of every 21-day cycle) or bortezomib-PLD (bortezomib plus PLD 30 mg/m(2) intravenously on day 4). The primary endpoint was the time to progression. Secondary efficacy endpoints included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival, and the overall response rate. RESULTS: In total, 646 patients (bortezomib-PLD, n = 324; bortezomib alone, n = 322) were randomized between December, 2004, and March, 2006. On the clinical cutoff date (May 16, 2014) for the final survival analysis, at a median follow-up of 103 months, 79% of patients had died (bortezomib-PLD group: 253 of 324 patients; 78%; bortezomib alone group: 257 of 322 patients; 80%). The median OS in the bortezomib-PLD group was 33 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 28.9-37.1) versus 30.8 months (95% CI, 25.2-36.5) in the bortezomib alone group (hazard ratio, 1.047; 95% CI, 0.879-1.246; P = .6068). Salvage therapies included conventional and novel drugs, which were well balanced between the two treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS: Despite inducing a superior time to progression, long-term follow-up revealed that PLD-bortezomib did not improve OS compared with bortezomib alone in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. The inability to sustain the early observed survival advantage may have been caused by the effects of subsequent lines of therapy, and underscores the need for long-term follow-up of phase 3 trials while recognizing the challenge of having adequate power to detect long-term differences in OS.

BACKGROUND: New treatment options are needed for patients with multiple myeloma that is refractory to proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs. We assessed daratumumab, a novel CD38-targeted monoclonal antibody, in patients with refractory multiple myeloma. METHODS: In this open-label, multicentre, phase 2 trial done in Canada, Spain, and the USA, patients (age ≥18 years) with multiple myeloma who were previously treated with at least three lines of therapy (including proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs), or were refractory to both proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs, were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive intravenous daratumumab 8 mg/kg or 16 mg/kg in part 1 stage 1 of the study, to decide the dose for further assessment in part 2. Patients received 8 mg/kg every 4 weeks, or 16 mg/kg per week for 8 weeks (cycles 1 and 2), then every 2 weeks for 16 weeks (cycles 3-6), and then every 4 weeks thereafter (cycle 7 and higher). The allocation schedule was computer-generated and randomisation, with permuted blocks, was done centrally with an interactive web response system. In part 1 stage 2 and part 2, patients received 16 mg/kg dosed as in part 1 stage 1. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (partial response [PR]â+âvery good PRâ+âcomplete response [CR]â+âstringent CR). All patients who received at least one dose of daratumumab were included in the analysis. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01985126. FINDINGS: The study is ongoing. In part 1 stage 1 of the study, 18 patients were randomly allocated to the 8 mg/kg group and 16 to the 16 mg/kg group. Findings are reported for the 106 patients who received daratumumab 16 mg/kg in parts 1 and 2. Patients received a median of five previous lines of therapy (range 2-14). 85 (80%) patients had previously received autologous stem cell transplantation, 101 (95%) were refractory to the most recent proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs used, and 103 (97%) were refractory to the last line of therapy. Overall responses were noted in 31 patients (29.2%, 95% CI 20.8-38.9)-three (2.8%, 0.6-8.0) had a stringent CR, ten (9.4%, 4.6-16.7) had a very good PR, and 18 (17.0%, 10.4-25.5) had a PR. The median time to first response was 1.0 month (range 0.9-5.6). Median duration of response was 7.4 months (95% CI 5.5-not estimable) and progression-free survival was 3.7 months (95% CI 2.8-4.6). The 12-month overall survival was 64.8% (95% CI 51.2-75.5) and, at a subsequent cutoff, median overall survival was 17.5 months (95% CI 13.7-not estimable). Daratumumab was well tolerated; fatigue (42 [40%] patients) and anaemia (35 [33%]) of any grade were the most common adverse events. No drug-related adverse events led to treatment discontinuation. INTERPRETATION: Daratumumab monotherapy showed encouraging efficacy in heavily pretreated and refractory patients with multiple myeloma, with a favourable safety profile in this population of patients.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the only known curative therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML); however, it is rarely utilized given the excellent long-term results with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment. The purpose of this study is to examine HSCT outcomes for patients with CML who failed TKI therapy or presented in advanced phase and to identify predictors of survival, relapse, and nonrelapse mortality (NRM). Fifty-one patients with CML underwent HSCT for advanced disease at diagnosis (n = 15), TKI resistance as defined by the European LeukemiaNet guidelines (n = 30), TKI intolerance (n = 2), or physician preference (n = 4). At a median follow-up of 71.9 months, the 8-year overall survival (OS), event-free survival (EFS), relapse, and NRM were 68%, 46%, 41%, and 23%, respectively. In univariate analysis, predictors of OS included first chronic phase (CP1) disease status at HSCT (P = .0005), European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation score 1 to 4 (P = .04), and complete molecular response (CMR) to HSCT (P < .0001). Donor (female) to patient (male) gender combination (P = .02) and CMR to HSCT (P < .0001) predicted lower relapse. In multivariate analysis, CMR to HSCT remained an independent predictor of OS (odds ratio [OR], 43), EFS (OR, 56) and relapse (OR, 29). This report indicates that the outlook is excellent for those patients who remain in CP1 at the time of HSCT and achieve a CMR after HSCT. However, only approximately 50% of those in advanced phase at HSCT are long-term survivors. This highlights the ongoing need to try to identify patients earlier, before disease progression, who are destined to fail this treatment to optimize transplantation outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Double-hit lymphoma is characterized by the presence of concurrent MYC (myelocytomatosis oncogene) and BCL2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) gene rearrangements. Prognosis is poor with standard chemoimmunotherapy. Since 2003, the British Columbia Cancer Agency has used CODOX-M/IVAC+R (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, methotrexate, cytarabine, ifosfamide, and etoposide, combined with rituximab) followed by consolidative hematopoietic cell transplantation as definitive treatment for double-hit lymphoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of the survival outcomes of patients with double-hit lymphoma treated at our institution was conducted. Thirty-two patients diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma with concurrent MYC and BCL2 translocations from 2003 to 2013 were identified. Cases with MYC or BCL2 amplification and those with overexpression in immunohistochemistry analysis were excluded. RESULTS: Median age at diagnosis was 53.0 years (range, 35.5-70.9 years), 23 (72%) were male, and 30 (94%) had stage III to IV disease. CODOX-M/IVAC+R was administered in 25 (78%) patients and 20 (80%) achieved a partial remission or better, of which 9 (36%) had a complete remission. Nineteen of the 32 (59%) patients underwent upfront hematopoietic cell transplantation. At a median follow-up of living patients of 26.4 months, 14 (44%) were alive in remission, 15 (47%) died, and 3 (9%) were alive in relapse. The 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of all patients were 41% and 53%, respectively. The sixteen patients treated with CODOX-M/IVAC+R followed by hematopoietic cell transplantation had a 2-year PFS of 60% and 2-year OS of 82%. CONCLUSION: Patients with double-hit lymphoma treated with CODOX-M/IVAC+R followed by hematopoietic cell transplantation can achieve durable remissions, although disease progression before transplantation remains a significant problem.

The curative potential of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo HSCT) in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia CLL is established, with a demonstrated role for graft-versus-leukaemia and less certainty for other factors in determining outcome. The first two decades of CLL patients proceeding to allo HSCT at the Leukaemia/Bone Marrow Transplant Program of British Columbia (n = 49 consecutive, 1991-2009) were studied to clarify factors predicting outcome. The donor was related in 29 (59%) and unrelated in 20 (41%). Conditioning was reduced-intensity in 27 (55%) and myeloablative in 22 (45%). Thirty-one of 49 patients survive with median follow-up of 5 years (0·2-15). Cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality; complete remission (CR); clearance of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) abnormality and progression at 10 years was 36%; 69%; 55% and 22%. Overall survival (OS) was 63% at 2 years; 55% at 5 years and beyond. Factors predicting OS (P value by log rank <0·05) were: comorbidity index <3, FISH rank (Dohner) and 17p deletion, alemtuzumab pre-HSCT, achievement of CR post-HSCT, donor chimerism >90%, clearance of FISH abnormality post-HSCT and absence of high-grade (3-4) graft-versus-host disease. Results from this province-wide, two-decade cohort demonstrated that a substantial proportion of patients with high-risk CLL become long term disease-free survivors.

Sudden blast phase (SBP) is a rare event that occurs in an unpredictable fashion amongst patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who otherwise appear to be responding satisfactorily to imatinib (IM) treatment. We investigated the incidence, clinical characteristics, treatment outcome and long-term follow-up of 213 patients with chronic phase CML treated with IM according to the European LeukemiaNet guidelines. Nine patients, eight of whom received IM as first-line therapy, developed SBP (4.2% of the total). They tended to have low or intermediate risk Sokal scores at diagnosis, a predominance of the lymphoid phenotype and a short interval from "optimal" response to the development of BP. Five of the nine patients with SBP are alive in complete molecular remission; however, all of them underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The cumulative incidence of SBP for the patients who received IM as first-line therapy was 5.9% and the 2-year overall survival of the nine patients who developed SBP was 56%. Despite the improved outcome for patients with SBP receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and transplant, many of these patients are not salvaged with these therapies. This illustrates the need to develop predictive models to identify patients early whose response to TKI therapy will not be durable and hopefully prevent the transformation to advanced disease.

INTRODUCTION: Bortezomib with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is superior to bortezomib alone in the relapsed and/or refractory setting, based on the results of a randomized, parallel-group, open-label, multicenter phase III study. To identify patients who might most benefit from this new standard of care, we performed retrospective analyses evaluating the effects of clinically defined, high-risk features on the outcomes with this regimen. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients received either bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of an every-21-day cycle with PLD 30 mg/m2 on day 4 (n=324) or bortezomib alone (n=322). Four high- and low-risk subgroup categories were identified, including age≥65, ≥2 previous therapies, International Staging System stage II/III, and disease refractory to last previous therapy. RESULTS: Compared with bortezomib alone, PLD plus bortezomib significantly prolonged the time to progression and duration of response in all of these subgroups. PLD plus bortezomib was well tolerated in all subgroups, and had a safety profile that was not affected by response to previous therapy. CONCLUSION: Treatment of relapsed/refractory myeloma with the combination of PLD plus bortezomib provides better outcomes over bortezomib alone, even in the presence of high-risk prognostic factors. These results suggest that PLD plus bortezomib may represent an additional standard of care for this population of patients with multiple myeloma.

The treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) has changed with the advent of thalidomide, bortezomib, and lenalidomide, the so-called novel agents (NAs). Given the complexity of MM therapy in the NA era we pursued a population based study to assess for improvements in survival as well as to characterize the relevance of early relapse (within 12 months) and the International Staging System in this clinical setting. We reviewed our experience with 460 patients with MM treated with autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) between 1988 and 2008, of whom 306 had relapsed. The cohort was divided into two groups based upon relapse pre-2004 and relapse during/after 2004 (2004+), which correlated to availability of bortezomib and lenalidomide. Improvements in both overall survival (OS) (median 32.0 months vs. 71.8 months; pâ<â0.001) and post-relapse survival (PRS) (median 15.2 months vs. 42.8 months; pâ<â0.001) correlated with the NA era. Exposure to NAs conferred a better PRS (median 35.7 months vs. 9.1 months; pâ<â0.001). Although all patients had improvements in survival, those who relapsed late continued to do better. Lastly, in the NA era, the ISS remains an important prognostic tool in relapse, but only in the late relapsing cohort.
