Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide with a poor prognosis. Treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has improved overall survival in patients with HCC. However, not all patients benefit from the treatment. In this study, 59 patients with HCC were enrolled from two medical centers in Saudi Arabia, with 34% using antibiotics concurrently with their Nivolumab (anti-PD1 blockade). The impact of antibiotic use on the clinical outcomes of patients with HCC undergoing treatment with anti-PD1 blockade was examined. The patients' overall survival (OS) was 5 months (95% CI: 3.2, 6.7) compared to 10 months (95% CI: 0, 22.2) (p = 0.08). Notably, patients with Child-Pugh A cirrhosis receiving anti-PD1 blockade treatment without concurrent antibiotic use showed a significantly longer median OS reaching 22 months (95% CI: 6.5, 37.4) compared to those who were given antibiotics with a median OS of 6 months (95% CI: 2.7, 9.2) (p = 0.02). This difference in overall survival was particularly found in Child-Pugh class A patients receiving anti-PD1 blockade. These findings suggest that antibiotic use may negatively affect survival outcomes in HCC patients undergoing anti-PD1 blockade, potentially due to antibiotic-induced alterations to the gut microbiome impacting the anti-PD1 blockade response. This study suggests the need for careful consideration when prescribing antibiotics to patients with HCC receiving anti-PD1 blockade.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The outcomes of Pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have improved dramatically whereas outcomes for ALL amongst adolescents and young adults (AYA) have lagged behind. The introduction of pediatric-like regimens to manage adult ALL has shown promising outcomes across several analyses. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this analysis, we aimed to retrospectively compare the differences in outcomes among patients aged 14-40 years with Philadelphia-negative ALL treated with a Hyper-CVAD protocol versus a modified pediatric protocol. RESULTS A total of 103 patients were identified with 58 (56.3%) in the modified ABFM group and 45 (43.7%) in the hyper-CVAD group. The median duration of follow-up for the cohort was 39 months (range 1-93). There were significantly lower rates of MRD persistence after consolidation (10.3% vs. 26.7%, P = 0.031) and transplantation (15.5% vs. 46.6%, P < 0.001) in the modified ABFM group. 5-year OS rates (83.9% vs. 65.3%, P = 0.036) and DFS rates (67.4% vs. 44%, P = 0.014) were higher in the modified ABFM groups. The incidence of grade 3 and 4 hepatotoxicity (24.1% vs. 13.3%, P < 0.001) and osteonecrosis (20.6% vs. 2.2%, P = 0.005) were higher in the modified ABFM group. CONCLUSION Our analysis demonstrates that the use of a pediatric modified ABFM protocol demonstrated superior outcomes compared to the hyper-CVAD regimen in the treatment of Philadelphia-negative ALL amongst AYA patients. However, the modified ABFM protocol was associated with an increased risk of certain toxicities including high grade liver toxicity and osteonecrosis.

Abstract
Supernumerary lacrimal punctum is rare, and very few cases have been reported. Most patients are asymptomatic, but in some excessive tearing could be a symptom. In addition, obstruction of the canaliculi causing canaliculitis has been reported. We describe four cases in detail with their presentations and diagnosis. The first patient presented with a right eye lesion and during examination, the left eye was less than mid dilated compared to that of the right eye. Further examination of the left eye revealed two left lower lid puncta. In another patient who was evaluated for diabetic retinopathy, two left lower lid puncta that shared the same canaliculus were noted. Furthermore, two lower lid puncta were found in a patient who came for cataract follow-up. Finally, in a patient who was following up in the retinal clinic, two lower lid puncta were documented. Probing to the accessory punctum showed that the canaliculus had an immediate horizontal course, unlike the rest of the puncta which showed a vertical then a horizontal course. Furthermore, in the accessory punctum, there was a soft stop, around 4 mm of the inserting probe. In summary, supernumerary lacrimal punctum is rare, and ophthalmologists need to be aware of this abnormality.

Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable disease despite incorporation of novel agents. Venetoclax, a B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitor is approved for some hematologic malignancies but not yet for MM, although clinical trials have shown efficacy in patients with MM, particularly those harboring t(11;14). We reviewed the medical records of relapsed and/or refractory MM patients to study the efficacy and safety of venetoclax used outside of clinical trials at Mayo Clinic between December, 2016 and March, 2019. The data cut-off date was August 06, 2020. We identified 56 patients of whom 42 (75%) harbored t(11;14). The median number of prior therapies was six (range 1-15) and 14% of patients had received ≥10 prior lines of therapy. Fifty-three (95%) patients were refractory to an immunomodulatory drug and proteasome inhibitor. Venetoclax was used as monotherapy or doublet, in combination with dexamethasone in 55% (n = 31) and a triplet or quadruplet in 45% of patients. No patient experienced tumor lysis syndrome. Overall response rate in 52 evaluable patients was 44%. The median time to best response was 2 months and median duration of response was 13.6 months. The median PFS for the entire cohort was 5.8 (95% CI 4.9-10.3) months and median OS was 28.4 (95% CI 14.6-not reached) months. The presence of t(11;14) was associated with improved PFS (median 9.7 months vs. 4.2 months, p = 0.019) and OS (median not reached vs. 10.8 9 months, p = 0.015). Venetoclax demonstrates encouraging activity in heavily-treated patients with relapsed/refractory MM, particularly the t(11;14) patient-population.

Abstract
This is a retrospective study of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who were >75 years old. We identified 394 patients and for non-trial patients (n = 350), immunomodulatory drug (IMiD)+dex (32%) was the most commonly used regimen followed by alkylator with steroids or other therapy (21%), alkylator + proteasome inhibitor (PI)+steroid (18%), and IMiD + PI + dex (13%). Overall, achieving ≥ very good partial response was more in patients receiving a triplet compared to other therapies (46% vs. 21%, p < 0.0001). Also, the median overall survival (OS) was significantly longer in patients who were treated with a triplet (median OS: 50.2 vs. 32.8 months, p = 0.0006). In a multivariate for OS, receiving a triplet (HR: 0.65, p = 0.02), not having an R-ISS stage 3 (HR: 0.36, p = 0.0003), and bone marrow plasma cell percentage <60% (HR: 0.69, p = 0.03) were predictive. In conclusion, being able to receive triplet therapy was associated with better survival in our MM patients >75 years old.

Abstract
e16186 Background: Nivolumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, has improved the outcomes of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is approved for HCC patients previously treated with sorafenib. Outcomes have been reported in previous studies, in malignancies other than HCC, to be worse when patients have been exposed to antibiotics while receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors. We aimed to evaluate the effects of antibiotics on survival in HCC patients treated with nivolumab. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 59 patients with advanced HCC that have been treated with nivolumab in two academic centers in Saudi Arabia. Patient characteristics, tumor data, antibiotic use (2 weeks prior, during, and 4 weeks after nivolumab therapy), survival data, and other factors were collected. Log-rank test analysis was performed to test the difference in overall survival (OS) time with and without antibiotics use. Results: The majority of patients were males (n=51, 85%), and 38 were Child-Pugh A (64%). A large number of patients had Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C tumors (n=42, 71%), and 20 patients (34%) used antibiotics. Most patients received nivolumab as second-line therapy after exposure to sorafenib (n=49, 83%). In patients who received nivolumab as first- or second-line therapy (n=57) and did not receive antibiotics, the median OS was double that of patients who received antibiotics (10 vs. 4.5 months, P=0.04). In child A patients who received nivolumab as second-line therapy (n=32), those who were exposed to antibiotics had a statistically significant shorter median OS compared to those who did not (5.5 vs. 20 months, P=0.04). More patients achieved partial response, or complete response (as per modified RECIST criteria) in the cohort that did not receive antibiotics compared to patients who received antibiotics (21% vs. 15%) but that was not statistically significant (P=0.6). Conclusions: This study shows that HCC patients receiving nivolumab have worse survival if they received antibiotics. Antibiotic mediated alteration of the gut microbiome may impact nivolumab response and shorten patient survival. Although this finding may warrant a prospective larger study but it is consistent with other previous studies. Antibiotics should be used very cautiously when treatment with checkpoint inhibitors is considered.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can affects many organs including the eyes. Corneal perforation in the form of peripheral ulcerative keratopathy can be debilitating and difficult to manage. A 48-year-old female with known RA presented with sudden loss of vision in her left eye, she was diagnosed with left corneal perforation secondary to severe dry eye. Penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) and punctum occlusion were done. Amniotic membrane transplant (AMT) was done 1 month later due to nonhealing epithelial defect. Her RA was clinically inactive, and no changes in her current medications were made. However, 4 months later, she presented with a second corneal perforation with melting. She had another PKP and AMT with permanent temporal tarsorrhaphy. Cyclosporine 100 mg P. O. twice daily was added, but after 5 months, she presented again with a third left corneal perforation with melting. Again, PKP and AMT with tarsorrhaphy were done, and she was started on infliximab. Since then, she had a stable graft with no further corneal perforations. In summary, patients with RA can have corneal perforations even if other signs of RA are absent. If the systemic treatment that is used to treat RA fails, one should consider using other classes of drugs, such as monoclonal antibodies (e.g., rituximab), tumor necrosis factor alpha blockers (such as infliximab or adalimumab), interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonists (e.g., anakinra), or IL-6 receptor antagonist (e.g., tocilizumab).

Abstract
Unlike IgG monoclonal proteins (MCPs), IgA MCP quantification is unreliable due to beta-migration of IgA MCPs on serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP). The utility of nephelometric quantitative IgA (qIgA) to monitor IgA multiple myeloma (MM) is unclear. We retrospectively studied disease response kinetics using qIgA versus MCPs by SPEP, and developed and validated novel qIgA disease assessment criteria in 491 IgA MM patients. The SPEP MCP nadir occurred a median of 41 (IQR 0-102) days before the qIgA. The median time to achieve a partial response (PR) was shorter using standard IMWG versus qIgA response criteria (32 vs 58 days, p < 0.001). Stratification by qIgA criteria, unlike IMWG criteria, led to clear separation of the progression-free survival curves of patients achieving a PR or very good PR. There was a consistent trend toward earlier detection of disease progression using qIgA versus IMWG progression criteria. In conclusion, monitoring IgA MM using MCP-based IMWG criteria may be falsely reassuring, given that MCP levels on SPEP decrease faster than qIgA levels. The qIgA response criteria more accurately stratify patients based on the progression risk and may detect disease progression earlier, which may lead to more consistent measurement of trial endpoints and improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
A 24-h urine protein collection (24hUP), the gold standard for measuring albuminuria in systemic AL amyloidosis, is cumbersome and inaccurate. We retrospectively reviewed 575 patients with systemic AL amyloidosis to assess the correlation between a urine albumin to creatinine ratio (uACR) and the 24hUP. The uACR correlated strongly with 24hUP at diagnosis (Pearson’s r = 0.87, 95% CI 0.83–0.90) and during the disease course (Pearson’s r = 0.88, 95% CI 0.86–0.90). A uACR ≥300 mg/g estimated a 24hUP ≥ 500 mg with a sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 97% (area under the receiver operating curve = 0.938, 95% CI 0.919–0.957). A uACR cutoff of 3600 mg/g best predicted a 24hUP > 5000 g (sensitivity 93%, specificity 94%), and renal stage at diagnosis was strongly concordant using either 24hUP or uACR as the proteinuria measure (k = 0.823, 95% CI 0.728–0.919). In patients with serial urine collections, a > 30% decrease in uACR predicted a > 30% decrease in 24hUP with a sensitivity of 94%. In conclusion, the uACR is a reliable and convenient method for ruling out proteinuria >500 mg per day, prognosticating renal outcomes, and assessing renal response to therapy. Further studies are needed to validate the uACR cutoffs proposed in this study.

Abstract
The goal of therapy in AL amyloidosis is to inhibit further production of the amyloidogenic light chains, thereby allowing organ recovery and improving survival. We aimed to assess the impact of depth of hematologic response prior to ASCT on survival. We conducted a retrospective study of 128 newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis patients who received induction prior to ASCT between January 2007 and August 2017 at Mayo Clinic. The overall response rate to induction was 86% (CR 18%, VGPR 31% and PR 38%). With a median follow up of 52 months, the median PFS and OS was 48.5 months and not reached, respectively. Response depth to induction therapy was associated with improved PFS and OS. The median PFS was not reached for patients achieving ≥VGPR prior to ASCT and 34.1 months for patients achieving PR or less (P = 0.0009). The median OS was longer in patients with deeper responses (not reached for ≥VGPR vs. 128 months for PR or less (P = 0.02)). On multivariable analysis, independent predictors of OS were melphalan conditioning dose (RR = 0.42; P = 0.036) and depth of response prior to transplant (RR 0.37; P = 0.0295). Hematologic response prior to transplant predicts improved post transplant outcomes in AL amyloidosis.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal complications of multiple myeloma (MM) treatment are common and include nausea, constipation, and diarrhea. However, acute gastrointestinal events like perforations are rare. We aimed to describe the characteristics and outcomes of patients with MM that had colonic perforations during their treatment. This is a retrospective study that included patients from all three Mayo Clinic sites who had MM and developed a colonic perforation. All patients were diagnosed with colonic perforations based on CT scans and were surgically treated. Patients diagnosed with AL amyloidosis, a perforated colon complicating neutropenic colitis during ASCT and those with perforation due to colonic cancer were excluded. A high dose of dexamethasone was defined as ≥40 mg dexamethasone once a week. Thirty patients met inclusion criteria. All patients received steroids at doses ≥10 mg once weekly prior to the perforation, while four (11%) were on high-dose dexamethasone without chemotherapy. Fourteen patients were given high doses of dexamethasone. Twenty-five patients required ostomies with all surviving surgery. Twenty-four perforations (80%) were associated with diverticulitis. Treatment with steroids was resumed in 23 patients with no further gastrointestinal complications. The median OS was 20 months following perforation (IQR 8-59). Within the same timeframe 5854 patients were treated at Mayo Clinic for MM, making the risk of bowel perforation 0.5%. Intestinal perforations in MM are rare and, in our series, always occurred with dexamethasone ≥10 mg per week. Urgent surgery is lifesaving and resumption of anti-myeloma treatment appears to be safe.

Abstract
e15020 Background: Durable responses were seen in registration trials for CAR-T in NHL across poor prognostic groups including early relapse post stem cell transplant (ASCT). Multi-center reports of real-world practice noted patients who received BT prior to CAR-T had decreased survival. The impact of last ST and response to BT on clinical outcome are examined here. Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed on 47 patients who received axicabtagene ciloleucel from June 2016 – September 2019 at Mayo Clinic, Rochester. ST was defined as last therapy prior to leukapheresis and grouped into categories – non-ASCT (chemotherapy, and immunotherapy), and ASCT. BT was defined as therapy given between leukapheresis and CAR-T. Response to therapy was evaluated using 2014 Lugano criteria. Event free survival (EFS) was defined as time from CAR-T infusion to progression, next treatment, or death. Results: The ST distribution was 77% non-ASCT [chemo 66% (31), and immunotherapy 11% (5)], and 23% (11) ASCT. EFS was significantly prolonged for the ASCT (median not reached) vs non-ASCT (median 3.8 months, p = 0.03) despite no difference in median prior lines of therapy. This may reflect more aggressive disease in the non-ASCT arm, as time from start of ST to leukapheresis was shorter (median non-ASCT 2.2 months vs. ASCT 4.4 months, p = 0.0008). Patients received BT if there were concerns for symptomatic progression during CAR-T manufacturing that would reduce the likelihood to receive CAR-T. Sixty-two percent (29) patients received BT (11 chemo, and 18 immunotherapy). The EFS did not differ between the type of BT. However, patients who progressed after BT had worse EFS than those who achieved stable disease or partial response (median 2.8 vs 8.7 months, p = 0.03). Conclusions: Patients who received CAR-T as the next treatment after ASCT had better EFS than those after other types of ST. While patients who received BT have worse survival than those who didn’t, having some control of lymphoma progression with BT was associated with better EFS than those who continued to have progressive disease.

Abstract
e20506 Background: Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) prolongs survival in patients with light chain (AL) amyloidosis. Mayo 2012 stage and increased plasma cell percentage (%PC) are known predictors for survival. Increased beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) predicts survival in patients with multiple myeloma. However, its prognostic effect in patients with AL amyloidosis undergoing ASCT is not known. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who had a diagnosis of AL amyloidosis and were treated with ASCT between July-1996 and September-2017. Patients with creatinine > 1.2 mg/dL were excluded, as that affects B2M levels. The receiver operator curve was used to determine the best cutoff for B2M in predicting survival and was 2.5 mcg/mL. Baseline characteristics were compared between patients with B2M > 2.5 and ≤2.5. Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as time from ASCT to relapse or death, whichever occurred first. Overall survival (OS) was calculated from ASCT to death of any cause. Univariate and multivariate analysis were done for OS. Results: Five-hundred patients were identified and 222 (44%) had a B2M > 2.5. These patients were more likely to be > 65 years old (32% vs. 17%, P = 0.0001), have Mayo 2012 stage III/IV (33% vs. 8%, P < 0.0001), have ≥3 organs involved (25% vs. 14%, P = 0.001), and have ≥10% PCs (56% vs. 40%, P = 0.0002) compared to patients with B2M ≤2.5. The median PFS and OS were shorter in patients with B2M > 2.5 (median PFS: 64 vs. 80 months, P = 0.03); (median OS: 104.9 vs. 175.5 months, P < 0.0001). On univariate analysis, predictors for OS included age > 65 (HR: 1.6, P = 0.001), Mayo 2012 stage III/IV (HR: 3.3, P < 0.0001), ≥3 organs involved (HR: 1.3, P = 0.06), ≥10% PC (HR: 1.5, P = 0.004), melphalan conditioning 200mg/m2 (HR: 0.28, P < 0.0001), and B2M > 2.5 (HR: 1.8, P < 0.0001). In a multivariate analysis, only Mayo 2012 stage III/IV (HR: 1.8, P = 0.006), melphalan conditioning 200mg/m2 (HR: 0.35, P < 0.0001), and B2M > 2.5 (HR: 1.7, P = 0.01) remained independent predictive of OS. Conclusions: Beta-2 microglobulin > 2.5 is an independent predictor for OS in AL amyloidosis patients undergoing ASCT and should be routinely measured.

Abstract
e22052 Background: Metastatic Uveal Melanoma (MUM) is a rare tumor with poor prognosis following development of liver metastasis. We hypothesized that patterns of metastasis in Uveal Melanoma correlate with clinical outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with MUM at Mayo Clinic, Rochester from January 1999 to August 2019. Patients were stratified into two groups based on the pattern of hepatic and pulmonary metastasis at the time of diagnosis of metastatic disease: Group 1 (≤5 liver metastasis or lung metastasis) and Group 2 ( > 5 liver metastasis without lung metastasis). Baseline characteristics were compared between both groups. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed for Overall Survival (OS). Results: 147 patients were included in the study (n = 67 Group 1; n = 80 Group 2). In Group 1, 49/67 patients presented with ≤5 liver metastasis and 18/67 had lung metastasis without liver metastasis. Median OS for Group 1 was significantly longer than Group 2 (38 vs. 15 months; p < 0.0001) (Table). On univariate analysis, predictors for OS were: Pattern of Metastasis, ECOG PS > 0, Time to metastasis > 60 months, and Surgical metastatectomy. Pattern of Metastasis was an independent predictor for OS in a multivariate model that included these predictors (p = 0.0004). Group 1 patients were more likely to undergo surgical metastatectomy compared to group 2 (21.5% vs. 1.3%; p < 0.0001). Interestingly, the median time to metastasis from diagnosis of UM was significantly longer for Group 1 as compared to Group 2 (67 vs. 24.5 months; p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Limited (≤5) liver metastasis or lung metastasis (without liver metastasis) at diagnosis predict favorable clinical outcomes in MUM. The occurrence of such metastasis following a significantly longer time from primary diagnosis suggests the existence of a distinct sub-type of metastatic disease with relatively indolent behavior.

Abstract
8516 Background: The role of induction therapy prior to autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis remains controversial. Data on the prognostic impact of response to induction in a transplanted cohort are lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of response to induction therapy on survival in patients undergoing ASCT for AL amyloidosis. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of all newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis patients who received induction prior to ASCT between January 2007 and August 2017 at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. Patients receiving only corticosteroids prior to transplant were excluded as were those with an involved light chain of less than 5 mg/dL (not measurable for response). Results: 134 patients met inclusion criteria. The median age at diagnosis was 60 (range 36-74) and 85 (63%) were men. The most commonly used induction regimen was proteasome inhibitor-based (73.1%, n=98). The overall response rate to induction was 83% (complete response 17%, very good partial response 30% and partial response 36%). With a median follow up of 56.5 months, the median PFS and OS was 48.5 months and not reached, respectively. Response depth to induction therapy was associated with improved PFS and OS and was independent of the bone marrow plasma cell percentage. The median PFS was not reached for patients achieving ≥VGPR prior to ASCT and 33.8 months for patient achieving PR or less (P=0.001). The median OS was longer in patients with deeper responses (not reached for patients achieving ≥VGPR vs. 128 months for patients achieving PR or less (P=0.02). On multivariable analysis, independent predictors of OS were melphalan conditioning dose (RR= 0.38; P=0.018) and depth of response prior to transplant (RR 2.52; P=0.039). Conclusions: Hematologic response prior to transplant predicts post-transplant outcomes in patients with AL amyloidosis. [Table: see text]

Abstract
8549 Background: Proteinuria evaluation is essential for diagnosing and monitoring of renal involvement in light chain (AL) amyloidosis. A 24 hour protein collection (24h UP) is the gold standard for proteinuria assessment however it is cumbersome and can be inaccurate. A spot urine albumin to creatinine ratio (uACR) has been proposed as a convenient method to estimate 24hUP. We aimed to validate the correlation between uACR and 24hUP in a large cohort of patients. Methods: We retrospectively studied systemic AL amyloidosis patients evaluated between 2010 and 2019 at Mayo Clinic, with a uACR and 24hUP collected less than 7 days apart. Linear regression analysis was used to construct a prediction model for 24hUP with uACR as the primary predictor. Possible confounders (age, gender, body mass index, morning versus afternoon spot urine collection, estimated glomerular filtration rate) for the primary relationship between uACR and 24h UP were evaluated in the model. We used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis to identify the best uACR cutoff to predict significant proteinuria (defined as a 24hUP > 500mg). Results: We included 665 patients, with a median age of 66 years (IQR 59-72). The spot urine was collected in the morning (before 1200 hours) in 382 (57%) patients, and in the afternoon in 283 (43%) patients. The median 24hUP was 321 (IQR 129-2512.5) mg, median uACR was 107 (IQR 13.5-1845) mg/g, and median serum creatinine was 1.2 (IQR 1-1.8) mg/dL. The uACR correlated well with 24h UP (Pearson’s r= 0.83, 95% CI 0.80-0.85). Linear regression showed that E (24h UPi) = 362 + 1.05(uACRi), and this model was statistically and clinically significant (p < 0.001 and R2 of 0.68, respectively). Age, gender, body mass index, eGFR, and time of day of spot urine collection did not confound the primary relationship between uACR and 24hUP, and no collinearity was observed. A uACR cutoff of > 280 mg/g was the best predictor of a 24hUP > 500 mg (area under the ROC curve 0.98, sensitivity 92%, specificity 97%). For simplicity, we assessed the predictive value of uACR > 300 mg/g for 24h UP > 500 mg. Among patients with 24huACR > 300 mg/g 264 (96%) had a 24hUP > 500 mg, and 31 (7%) of patients with uACR < 300 mg/g had a 24h UP > 500 mg (p < 0.001). Conclusions: In systemic AL amyloid patients, we showed that uACR on a random urine sample correlated well with 24h UP, and can be used to estimate proteinuria with a linear regression model. Based on these findings, and the convenience of uACR testing for patients, we propose that uACR should be used to monitor renal response to AL amyloidosis therapy.

Abstract
3028 Background: Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy induces complete remission (CR) in 30-40% of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). However, for patients who do not achieve CR as their first response, predictors for achieving CR as best response can guide management between careful observation or early intervention. Increased absolute lymphocyte count to absolute monocyte count ratio (ALC/AMC) predicts better response rates and survival in NHL patients receiving chemotherapy and/or autologous stem cell transplant. We evaluated the prognostic impact of ALC/AMC in CAR-T therapy for NHL. Methods: This was a retrospective review of patients who received CAR-T for NHL from June 2016-August 2019. ALC/AMC was assessed at the start of lymphodepletion (LD) chemotherapy. The receiver operator curve (ROC) was used to determine the best cutoff for ALC/AMC in predicting CR at 3 months. Event-free survival (EFS) was defined from time of CAR-T infusion to relapse or death, whichever occurred first. Overall survival (OS) was defined from time of infusion to death of any cause. Results: Forty-seven patients received axicabtagene ciloleucel, with a median follow-up of 14 months. By ROC, ALC/AMC > 0.8 before LD chemotherapy was predictive of achieving CR at 3 months. Baseline characteristics were similar between the high (n = 30) and low (n = 17) ALC/AMC groups. Patients with an ALC/AMC > 0.8 at the time of LD chemotherapy were more likely to achieve CR at 3 months (46% vs. 12%, p = 0.01), 6 months (52% vs. 0%, p < 0.0005), and 12 months (42% vs. 0%, p = 0.01). Correspondingly, the EFS and OS were significantly shorter in patients with ALC/AMC≤0.8 vs. those > 0.8 (median EFS: 2 vs. 13 months, P < 0.0001) and (median OS: 15 months vs. not reached, P = 0.03), respectively. Association between ALC/AMC ratio and EFS and OS remained consistent in multivariate Cox models after adjusting for other prognostic variables, including abnormal lactate dehydrogenase and increased ferritin level at infusion day. Conclusions: ALC/AMC > 0.8 before lymphodepletion chemotherapy is a strong predictor for complete remission as well as improved event-free and overall survival for axicabtagene ciloleucel in NHL.

Abstract
e20515 Background: IgA monoclonal proteins (MCPs), unlike IgG MCPs, often migrate in the beta region on serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) which can lead to underestimation of their size due to the co-migration with physiologic proteins. In IgA multiple myeloma (MM), the utility of quantitative IgA levels in assessing disease response in comparison to SPEP is not well studied. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 304 IgA MM patients, diagnosed between 2004 and 2018, with available serial MCP and quantitative IgA levels. Kaplan Meier analysis was used to estimate the median progression free survival (mPFS) using the IMWG criteria and our study definition of IgA progression (2 consecutive IgA values that are > 25% above the nadir IgA value and above upper limit of normal (ULN) of 356 mg/dL, and a detectable IgA MCP on serum immunofixation). The mPFS was defined as the time from treatment initiation until disease progression or death. Results: IgA MCP migrated in the beta region in 134 (44%) patients, and in the gamma region in 150 (56%) patients. At diagnosis the median MCP was 3 (IQR 1.9-4) g/dL and the median IgA was 3240 (IQR 2008-4420) mg/dL. The median time from treatment initiation to MCP nadir was 80 (IQR 42-144) days and median time to IgA nadir was 154 (IQR 90-238) days. At MCP nadir 40% of patients had an IgA above the ULN. All complete responders (n = 104) had normal IgA levels, with a median IgA of 54 (IQR 27-88) g/dL. A ≥90% decrease in IgA between treatment initiation and IgA nadir, compared to a < 90% decrease, was associated with a longer mPFS (34 vs. 20 months, p = 0.006) and overall survival (97 vs. 33 months, p = 0.003). Patients with serial MCP and IgA levels available prior to progression (n = 195) were used to compare the mPFS using the IMWG and IgA progression criteria. The mPFS using the IgA criteria was 32 (95% CI 29-39) months, versus 39 (95% CI 33-45) months using IMWG criteria. Overall, 92 (47%) patients progressed by both IMWG and IgA criteria. At the time of progression using the IgA criteria compared to at IMWG progression, the median hemoglobin was higher (13.3 vs. 11.6 g/dL, respectively, p < 0.001) and fewer patients had new symptomatic bone lesions (2% vs. 33%, respectively, p < 0.001). Conclusions: In IgA MM patients, monitoring quantitative IgA levels predicts disease response and allows for earlier detection of disease progression, prior to the development of end organ damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous reports have suggested that a higher bone marrow plasma-cell percentage (BMPC%) is associated with worse outcomes. However, it is unknown whether BMPC% is an independent predictor because genetic information was not available at that time. Currently the impact of BMPC% at diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) is not well described. PATIENTS AND METHODS We evaluated the prognostic impact of BMPC% ≥ 60% versus < 60% in 1426 newly diagnosed MM patients. All patients had an estimation of their BMPC% at diagnosis, and the highest percentage was used. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) analyses were performed by the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analyses for PFS and OS using the Cox proportional hazards model were performed for age, Revised International Staging System (R-ISS) score, creatinine level, and BMPC%. RESULTS BMPC% ≥ 60% was found in 562 patients (39%), and the median PFS was shorter for these patients compared to BMPC% < 60% (22.6 vs. 32.1 months; P < .0001). Also, for OS, the median was shorter for the higher BMPC% group (53.4 vs. 75.4 months; P < .0001). On the multivariate analysis for PFS, age ≥ 65 years (hazard ratio [HR], 1.46; P < .0001), R-ISS (1-2 vs. 3) (HR, 0.49; P < .0001), and BMPC% ≥ 60% (HR, 1.23; P = .015) were predictive. On the multivariate analysis for OS, age ≥ 65 years (HR, 2.23; P < .001), R-ISS (1-2 vs. 3) (HR, 0.41; P < .0001), and BMPC% ≥ 60% (HR, 1.24; P = .02) were also predictive. CONCLUSION BMPC% ≥ 60% at diagnosis is predictive for PFS and OS, even in a multivariate analysis that included known prognostic factors for MM.

Abstract
We provide our recommendations (not evidence based) for managing multiple myeloma patients during the pandemic of COVID-19. We do not recommend therapy for smoldering myeloma patients (standard or high risk). Screening for COVID-19 should be done in all patients before therapy. For standard-risk patients, we recommend the following: ixazomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (IRd) (preferred), cyclophosphamide lenalidomide and dexamethasone (CRd), daratumumab lenalidomide and dexamethasone (DRd), lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVd), or cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (CyBorD). For high-risk patients we recommend carfilzomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (KRd) (preferred) or RVd. Decreasing the dose of dexamethasone to 20 mg and giving bortezomib subcutaneously once a week is recommended. We recommend delaying autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT), unless the patient has high-risk disease that is not responding well, or if the patient has plasma cell leukemia (PCL). Testing for COVID-19 should be done before ASCT. If a patient achieves a very good partial response or better, doses and frequency of drug administration can be modified. After 10–12 cycles, lenalidomide maintenance is recommended for standard-risk patients and bortezomib or ixazomib are recommended for high-risk patients. Daratumumab-based regimens are recommended for relapsed patients. Routine ASCT is not recommended for relapse during the epidemic unless the patient has an aggressive relapse or secondary PCL. Patients on current maintenance should continue their therapy.

Abstract
Risk stratification of multiple myeloma (MM) at diagnosis is critical. We examined the ability of hematopoietic indices including mean corpuscular volume (MCV), hemoglobin (Hgb), and platelet (Plt) to predict outcomes. This was a retrospective study of patients treated at Mayo Clinic between January 2004 and April 2018. We incorporated three variables (Hgb < 10 g/dL, Plt < 150 × 109 /L, and MCV > 96 fL), assigning a score of 1 to each. We identified 1540 newly diagnosed MM patients, of whom 707 (46%) had a score of 0, 513 (33%) had a score of 1, 260 (17%) had a score of 2, and 60 (4%) had a score of 3. The score risk stratified patients into four groups with differing survivals. The median PFS was 32.3 months for score 0, 24.8 months for score 1, 21.7 months for score 2, and 18.3 months for score 3, for P < .001. The median OS was 80.7 months for score 0, 59.9 months for score 1, 51.7 months for score 2, and 31.3 months for score 3, P < .0001. Predictors of OS on the multivariable analysis were age ≥ 65 (HR, 1.93; P < .0001), R-ISS stage (1-2 vs 3) (HR, 0.48; P < .0001), and hematopoietic score (0-2 vs 3) (HR, 0.51; P = .006). A hematopoietic score can predict survival in newly diagnosed myeloma patients.

Abstract
The role of consolidation post autologous stem cell transplant in light chain amyloidosis is not well defined. We retrospectively identified patients who had light chain amyloidosis and underwent autologous stem cell transplant at the Mayo Clinic. Consolidation was defined as any treatment given after the day 100 evaluation post-transplant to maintain or deepen the response. We identified 471 patients, of whom 72 (15%) received consolidation. Patients receiving consolidation had more advanced disease (Mayo 2012 stage ≥II in 67% vs 52%, P = .02), and had lower day 100 response rates (very good partial response or better: 35% vs 84%, P < .001). After consolidation, rates of very good partial response improved from 24% to 28%, and rates of complete response improved from 11% to 40%. Patients with less than very good partial response who received consolidation, had better progression-free survival (median of 22.4 vs 8.8 months, P < .001), and the benefit was greater in those who deepened their response (median of 41 vs 8.8 months, P < .001). In patients with less than very good partial response, there was a trend for better overall survival in patients who responded to consolidation (median of 125.8 vs 74.4 months, P = .07). In patients who achieved very good partial response, or better, at day 100 post autologous stem cell transplant, consolidation did not improve progression-free or overall survival. Consolidation after autologous stem cell transplant for light chain amyloidosis improves progression-free survival for patients who achieve less than very good partial response.

Abstract
264 Background: Latent tuberculosis infection (LBTI) affects about one quarter of the world population. Treating LTBI is the most effective way of preventing active TB. Patients with hematologic malignancy (HM) and LTBI are at heightened risk (2-40 times baseline) of progressing to active TB. Universal TB screening is recommended for this population. In 2016, a patient receiving chemotherapy for myeloma at our center developed active TB. This triggered an intensive contact tracing investigation involving local public health units, infection control, and specialists. Over 800 patients had one or more exposures to the index case. No cases of secondary TB were identified; however, the contact tracing was resource intensive and stressful for patients and staff. This project aims to prevent future incidents by developing a standardized process for completing and documenting TBSTs, ensuring LTBIs are identified and managed prior to systemic therapy for HM. We aimed to complete and document TBSTs in ≥85% of patients starting systemic therapy for HM by Feb 2018. Methods: Baseline data was determined via retrospective review of 25 patients receiving chemotherapy for HM Jul-Nov 2017. An order set, work flow process map and standard operating procedure were created over a series of plan-do-study act cycles. TBST was added to a pre-existing “ready for treatment” checklist employed by pharmacists at our site. When pharmacists could find no record of a TBST result prior to treatment, the treating physician was notified. The go-live date was Aug 15, 2018. The impact of change was evaluated via chart review of patients who started chemotherapy for HM between Aug 27, 2018-Feb 27, 2019. Results: Prior to implementation of the standardized process, 3/25 patients (12%) had documentation of prior TBST. Following implementation of the standardized process, 14/30 patients (47%) had documentation of TBST prior to starting systemic therapy for HM. All 14 patients had negative TBSTs. Conclusions: Developing a standardized process for ordering, completing, and documenting TBST for patients starting systemic therapy for HM is feasible and effective. Additional revisions of the process are required to meet our target.

Abstract
Prior reports have suggested that 3 or more organs involved is a contraindication for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis. Therefore, most centers limit transplantation to patients who have no more than 2 organs significantly involved. We retrospectively reviewed all patients with AL amyloidosis with ≥3 involved organs and who had ASCT between 1996 and 2015 at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota to assess transplant safety and outcomes. Seventy-five patients with ≥3 organs involved underwent ASCT. Median age at diagnosis was 54 years, and 67% were men. The heart was involved in 95%, followed by the kidneys (84%). Thirty-eight patients (51%) had no induction treatment before ASCT. Full-dose melphalan (200 mg/m2) was given in 45%, and the remainder received 140 mg/m2. Overall hematologic response rate was 75%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 16 and 68 months, respectively. The 100-day mortality was 16%, and 44 patients (59%) died during follow-up. The most common causes of death were cardiovascular events (32%) and progressive amyloidosis (25%). On multivariable analysis, predictors for PFS were Mayo 2012 stage III/IV (relative risk [RR], 3.3; P = .0012) and hematologic response (at least very good partial response; RR, .4; P = .012). An N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level of ≥2000 pg/mL was an independent predictor for shorter PFS (RR, 2.6; P = .013). Predictors for OS included any hematologic response (RR, .12; P = .0015), melphalan 200 mg/m2 (RR, .2; P = .014), and Mayo 2012 stage III/IV (RR, 7.7; P = .0002). An NT-proBNP level ≥ 2000 pg/mL was a powerful predictor of OS (RR, 4; P = .013). The number of organs involved (3 versus >3) did not significantly impact PFS or OS. We conclude that the high prevalence and severity of cardiac involvement are the main drivers for the poor outcome in patients who have ≥3 organs involved. Using selection criteria defined for safe transplantation in cardiac amyloidosis should result in low therapy-related mortality independent of the number of organs involved. The severity of cardiac involvement should be the major criterion for transplanting patients with AL amyloidosis that have ≥3 organs involved and not merely the number of organs involved.

Abstract
We retrospectively reviewed the impact of impaired renal function (eGFR < 45 ml/min/SA) on post-transplant outcomes in patients receiving ASCT for AL amyloidosis. Patients were grouped into two cohorts, those with normal renal function (NRF) eGFR ≥ 45 ml/min (n = 568) and those with impaired renal function (IRF) eGFR < 45 ml/min (n = 87). Patients with IRF had higher renal stage (>Stage 1: 100% IRF vs 37% NRF, p < 0.0001) and the majority received conditioning with melphalan <200 mg/m2 (70% IRF vs 21% NRF, p < 0.0001). Forty-four patients (6.7%) required dialysis within 100 days of ASCT. Renal stage predicted for dialysis institution within 100 days of ASCT (3% Stage I vs 10% Stage II vs 22% Stage III, p < 0.0001). Dialysis within 100 days was higher in the IRF cohort (16% for IRF cohort vs 6% for NRF cohort, p = 0.0007. Patients with impaired renal function were more likely to be admitted to hospital (80% IRF vs 70% NRF, p = 0.03). The 100-day mortality was higher in the IRF cohort (14% IRF cohort vs 5% NRF cohort, p = 0.008). Median OS and PFS were similar between the two cohorts. Impaired renal function predicts for a higher rate of hospitalization, progression to dialysis and early mortality in patients receiving ASCT for AL amyloidosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, there have been few economic evaluations, from a Canadian perspective, of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for the prevention of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with acute unprovoked VTE. As a result, there is a lack of consensus about which treatment strategy should be adopted in the clinical setting. OBJECTIVES To assess the cost-effectiveness of currently approved anti-coagulant options, in terms of cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained, for the prevention of recurrent VTE in patients with unprovoked events managed on an outpatient basis. METHODS Microsoft Excel was used to develop a Markov model. Model parameters were determined using published literature, local hospital data, expert opinion, and chart review. The analysis considered the costs associated with pharmaceuticals, laboratory testing, hematologist fees, and treatment of recurrent VTE and major bleeding events. Effectiveness was measured in terms of QALYs, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were calculated. RESULTS For treatment lasting 3 months, apixaban represented the most cost-effective DOAC relative to low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) + vitamin K antagonist, with an ICER of $7379.66. For 6 months of treatment, apixaban again represented the most cost-effective treatment, with an ICER of $84.08 per QALY gained, and this drug dominated all the other strategies at 12 months. For lifetime treatment, DOACs were unlikely to be cost-effective, given a maximum willingness to pay of $50 000 to $100 000 per QALY. In a probabilistic sensitivity analysis at 6 months, 46.4% of iterations resulted in apixaban having lower costs and better outcomes than LMWH + vitamin K antagonist, and 78.6% of iterations resulted in an ICER below $100 000. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study suggest that apixaban is likely cost-effective for treatment durations of 3, 6, and 12 months. However, for indefinite treatment, DOACs were unlikely to be cost-effective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the predictors and prognostic impact of recurrent in-hospital ischemia and infarction in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Our objectives were to determine the baseline characteristics, risk factors, and long-term outcomes of patients with recurrent myocardial infarction (Re-MI). METHODS We evaluated patients with ACS who were enrolled in the second Gulf Registry of Acute Coronary Events from October 2008 to June 2009. RESULTS Of 7925 patients with ACS, 167 (2.1%) developed in-hospital Re-MI. Patients with Re-MI were older (mean age: 58.7 ± 13.4 vs 56.8 ± 12.6; P = .045), had higher rates of hyperlipidemia (42.5% vs 32.6%; P = .019), and were more likely to present with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI; 74.25% vs 43.9%; P < .001) and Killip class 4 (8.4% vs 3.2%; P < .001) than patients without Re-MI. Patients with Re-MI were less likely to receive evidence-based therapies upon admission, including aspirin (94.6% vs 98.5%; P < .001), β-blockers (59.3% vs 74.7%; P < .001), and statins (86.8% vs 94.9%; P < .001), and were less frequently assessed with coronary angiography (29.3% vs 32.5%; P = .029). Predictors of recurrent events included history of angina, hypotension on presentation, admission diagnosis of STEMI, and decreased use of evidence-based therapies including aspirin, statins, and β-blockers upon admission. Patients with Re-MI had more in-hospital complications, including congestive heart failure (44.3% vs 12.4%) and cardiogenic shock (26.4% vs 5.3%), as well as higher mortality rates during hospitalization (23.4% vs 4.1%) and after a discharge period of 30 days (27% vs 7.8%) and 1 year (30.5% vs 11.7%; P < .001 for all comparisons). CONCLUSION In our study, patients with Re-MI were less likely to receive evidence-based therapies and had a worse prognosis in terms of in-hospital complications and higher mortality rates. High-risk patients should be monitored and managed differently to prevent secondary attacks.
