Abstract
e19527 Background: While extra nodal involvement by MCL is relatively common, involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is a rare ( < 5% of cases) complication with limited treatment options. We report the outcomes of a large cohort of patients (pts) with CNS MCL. Methods: MCL pts with CNS involvement seen at Mayo Clinic between 1/1/1995-9/16/2020 were identified. CNS involvement was defined by histologically confirmed CNS MCL, CSF analysis demonstrating lymphoma cells, and/or neuroimaging findings compatible with CNS lymphoma. Medical records were reviewed for baseline characteristics, treatment, and outcome. Kaplan-Meier method was used for time to event analysis. Results: Out of 1,753 pts with MCL, 36 (2%) had CNS involvement by MCL. Median age at MCL diagnosis was 64 years (range 36-83) and 26 were male (72%). At MCL diagnosis, non-CNS extranodal involvement was seen in 30 pts, 24 with 1 site and 6 with ≥ 2 sites; 24 had bone marrow involvement. 11 (31%) pts had blastoid variant. Median Ki-67 was 40% (range 15-100%). MIPI score was available in 17 pts [low risk (n = 5, 29%), intermediate risk (n = 9, 53%), high risk (n = 3, 18%)]. The most common frontline regimen for MCL was R-CHOP and 14 (39%) pts underwent autologous stem cell transplant in CR1. The incidence of CNS involvement was overall similar over the study period. Median time from MCL diagnosis to CNS involvement was 25 months (m) (range 0-167). 4 (11%) pts presented with CNS involvement at initial diagnosis and 32 presented at relapse (12 isolated CNS relapse and 20 concurrent CNS and systemic relapse. Abnormal CSF was noted in 27 (87%) pts [consistent with MCL diagnosis (n = 26), atypical lymphocytes (n = 1)]. Abnormal CNS imaging was reported in 27 (75%) pts [leptomeningeal (n = 18), leptomeningeal and parenchymal (n = 5), parenchymal (n = 2), ocular (n = 2)]. First line CNS-directed therapy data was available in 33 (92%) pts. 12 (34%) received intrathecal (IT) therapy alone, 19 (54%) received systemic +/- IT therapy, 2 (6%) received radiation alone, and 2 (6%) pts received no treatment (hospice). The overall CNS response to therapy was CR in 13 (42%) pts, PR in 3 (10%), SD in 8 (26%), and PD in 7 (22%) pts. Three pts received BTK inhibitors [ibrutinib (n = 2) or acalabrutinib (n = 1)] as the first CNS-directed therapy. One patient achieved a CR with a response lasting 4 m, another patient achieved a PR with response lasting 10 m. CNS response data was not available in the remaining pts. Median follow up from CNS involvement was 72 m (95% CI: 41-NR). Median EFS for the 1st CNS-directed therapy was 3.7 m (95% CI: 1.6-6.1). At last follow up, 30 pts were deceased. The cause of death was CNS lymphoma in 10 (33%) pts and systemic lymphoma in 9 (30%) pts. Median OS from CNS involvement was 4.7 m (95% CI: 2.3-6.7). Conclusions: CNS involvement by MCL has dismal outcomes as evident by a median OS of approximately 5 m. BTK inhibitors may have a role in treatment of this rare complication, but further prospective investigation is needed.

Abstract
7542 Background: 60-70% of patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) can be cured with R-CHOP or R-CHOP-like immunochemotherapy. However, patients ≥80 years of age were either excluded or underrepresented in modern DLBCL trials, and their outcomes are understudied. The aim of this study is to define the survival trends and risk factors for inferior survival in older adult patients with DLBCL. Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL were identified from the National Cancer Database (2004-2017, representing the rituximab era). Clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes were compared between patients ages ≥ 80, 65-79, and < 65 years. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model were used for survival analysis. Results: A total of 231,756 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL were identified; 46,250 (20%) were ≥80 years, 87,702 (38%) were 65-79 years, and 97,904 (42%) were < 65 years. Patients ≥80 years were more likely to have a higher Charlson-Deyo Comorbidity Index score (CDS) (CDS ≥2, 12% vs 11% vs 8%, p = 0.001), less likely to receive systemic chemotherapy (63% vs 83% vs 89%, p < 0.001), and more likely to receive treatment at a non-academic center (71% vs 65% vs 48%, p < 0.001), compared to patients 65-79 and < 65 years, respectively. Median overall survival (OS) was significantly worse for patients ≥80 years compared to patients 65-79 years (11.6 vs 61.0 months, p = 0.001) and patients < 65 years (11.6 vs 178.1 months, p = 0.001). During the study period, the median OS had only minimally improved for patients ≥80 years (10.6 months in 2004-2007 vs 11.5 months in 2008-2011 vs 12.3 months in 2012-2016, p = 0.006). In contrast, the OS improvement appears more meaningful in patients 65-79 years (median in months: 51 vs 61.2 vs 65.9, p = < 0.001) and patients < 65 years (median in years: 14.6 vs 11.3 vs not reached, p < 0.001) in the prespecified intervals (2004-07, 2008-11, and 2012-16). In multivariate analysis, the most substantial risk factor for worse survival in patients ≥80 years was not receiving systemic therapy (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.26, 95%CI = 3.01-3.54, p = 0.001). Other risk factors associated with worse survival included high-risk IPI score (HR = 2.16, 95%CI = 1.96-2.39, p = 0.001), CDS score ≥2 (HR = 1.56, 95%CI = 1.40-1.73, p = 0.001), male sex (HR = 1.16, 95%CI = 1.09-1.24, p = 0.001), B symptoms at diagnosis (HR = 1.16, 95%CI = 1.08-1.25, p = 0.001), and treatment at a non-academic center (HR = 1.1, 95%CI = 1.01-1.20, p = 0.001). Conclusions: Patients ≥ 80 years of age with DLBCL have a significantly inferior survival which has not meaningfully improved in recent years. More than 1/3 of patients ≥ 80 years did not receive systemic therapy. Older adult patients with DLBCL should be assessed for fitness for chemotherapy using validated geriatric assessment tools. Novel therapeutic strategies with favorable safety profiles are urgently needed for this expanding patient population.

Abstract
7530 Background: Clinical trials of novel salvage therapies (ST) have encouraging outcomes for relapsed/refractory classic Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R cHL) eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). In this observational study, we report efficacies and outcomes of different ST in ASCT-eligible R/R cHL. Methods: Consecutive ASCT-eligible R/R cHL pts at 3 Mayo Clinic sites were included. Demographics and clinical variables at relapse were recorded by medical records review. Time to event endpoints were defined from relapse. Univariate associations were confirmed in multivariate models of age, sex, B symptoms, stage, bulky disease (BD, single mass > 6 cm) extra nodal disease (END), primary refractory disease (PRD) and early relapse (ER, within 1 year). Results: From Jan 2008 to May 2020, 207 ASCT-eligible pts with R/R cHL were included. Median age was 33 (24-43) years, 53% were male, 52% had advanced stage, 24% had BD, 36% had B symptoms, 41% had END, 11% had PRD and 43% had ER. All patients received ST and underwent ASCT; 43 (21%) received 2 ST, 14 (7%) 3 ST and 4 (0.5%) received 4 ST. 6 groups of ST were identified: ifosfamide, carboplatin and etoposide (ICE), bendamustine/brentuximab (BBV), brentuximab vedotin (BV), gemcitabine-based therapy (Gem), checkpoint inhibitor (CPI), and others. Table lists response to first line ST. BBV had significantly higher overall response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) as first ST in univariate and multivariate models. 114 (79%) after ICE, 30 (97%) after BBV, 15 (56%) after BV, 25 (76%) after Gem, 8 (73%) after CPI and 15 (79%) after other ST underwent ASCT. Higher number of pts were bridged to ASCT after BBV than ICE (p<0.01). 110 (53%) went to ASCT in CR, 74 (36%) in partial response (PR) and 11% in progressive disease (PD). 43 received BV maintenance (BVm) after ASCT. Pts going to ASCT in PR or PD had significantly lower progression free survival (PFS) compared to pts in CR (2 yr PFS: 62%, 18% vs 77%, respectively, p<0.0001) in univariate and multivariate models. There was no difference in PFS and overall survival (OS) by type of ST. BVm was associated with higher PFS (HR 0.3 (CI95 0.2-0.8)) and higher number of ST was associated with lower OS (HR 2 (CI95 1.4-3)) in multivariate model (p<0.001). For pts transplanted in CR, there was no significant difference in PFS and OS by type of ST but higher number of ST predicted lower OS (HR 2.4 (CI95 1.2-3.5), p<0.01). Conclusions: Type of ST did not predict survival, response to and number of ST did. For pts with CR, number of ST not type of ST predicted survival. BBV had higher response rates, higher rates of bridge to ASCT, and may be a preferable ST than ICE. Large, randomized trials are needed to evaluate efficacy of BBV compared to ICE.[Table: see text]

Abstract
e19552 Background: Leukemic involvement (LI) in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (L-DLBCL) is very rare and has been sparsely reported. We report our experience with this entity in a large academic multi-center setting. Methods: Medical records of patients with DLBCL who received care at Mayo Clinic between 1/2003 and 6/2020 were reviewed. DLBCL patients with LI were identified. LI was defined as increased white blood cell counts and the presence of clonal B cells on peripheral blood flow-cytometry. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Results: Twenty patients with L-DLBCL were identified with a median follow-up of 32.5 months (CI95%, 32.5-NR). Median age at initial diagnosis was 62 (45-80) years. 60% (12/20) were male; 90% (18/20) were Caucasian. Pathologically, 90% (18/20) had DLBCL and 10% (2/20) had high-grade B cell lymphoma (HGBCL) with intermediate features between DLBCL and Burkitt lymphoma. By Hans criteria, 58% (11/19) had germinal center B-cell DLBCL (GCB-DLBCL) and 42% (8/19) had non-germinal center B-cell DLBCL (non-GCB-DLBCL). 40% (8/20) had transformed DLBCL (t-DLBCL); 36% (5/14) had double-hit lymphoma (DHL) by FISH analysis. LI was present in 55% (11/20) at initial diagnosis and 45% (9/20) at relapse. Median WBC was 39.5/ul (range, 4.3-121) with median absolute lymphocyte count of 25 k/ul (range, 0.7-117). Immunophenotypically, the leukemic lymphoma cells expressed CD19, CD20, and CD79a. Bone marrow involvement and pancytopenia were documented in all patients with a median bone marrow cellularity of 80%. Other extranodal sites of involvement with LI included spleen (65%;13/20), liver (20%;4/20), breast and soft tissue (20%;4/20), bladder or kidneys (10%;2/20), skeleton (10%;2/20), and myocardium (5%;1/20). 65% (13/20) had B-symptoms. All patients had LDH elevation (UNL 222 U/L) with a median of 2125 U/L (range, 308-10,760). 45% (5/11) of patients with LI at initial diagnosis had CNS involvement on relapse/progression. All patients with LI at initial diagnosis received anthracycline-based chemoimmunotherapy with or without CNS prophylaxis. Patients with LI at relapse had had a median of 2 prior treatments (range, 1-5) before LI. Median overall survival (OS) for the whole group was 9 months (CI 95%; 5.8-11.8). There were no long-term survivors. Median progression free survival after LI was 4.7 months (CI95%; 0.8-7.6) in the newly diagnosed group and 3 months (CI95%; 0.9-20) in the relapsed group. 90% (18/20) died due to their progressive disease. Cell of origin, DHL status, or newly diagnosed vs. relapsed status did not have a significant impact on OS in patients with L-DLBCL. Conclusions: Leukemic involvement at any time during the course of DLBCL is associated with poor prognosis. It also appears to be a major risk factor for CNS relapse. It is most frequently associated with DHL and t-DLBCL. Novel therapeutic approaches at the time of initial therapy need to be developed for L-DLBCL.

Abstract
7503 Background: Optimal initial therapy for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) remains uncertain. The randomized phase 2 NCTN trial E1411 tested if progression-free survival (PFS) is prolonged by addition of bortezomib (V) (1.6 mg/m2 SC/IV days 1, 8) to bendamustine-rituximab (BVR vs BR) induction and/or by addition of lenalidomide (L) to rituximab (LR vs R) consolidation. Here we report efficacy and toxicity of induction BVR vs BR. Methods: 373 pts, accrued 2012–16, stratified by MIPI and age (≥60) received 1 of 4 arms: A) BR induction x 6 followed by R x 2 yrs, B) BVR followed by R, C) BR followed by LR or D) BVR followed by LR. Eligible pts had untreated MCL, ≥ age 18 (amended from ≥60 when S1106 for < 65 closed), ECOG PS 0-2 and adequate hematologic and organ function. Pts without progressive disease during induction proceeded to consolidation. Primary induction objective was whether adding bortezomib (BVR) (Arms B + D) to BR (Arms A + C) improves PFS, irrespective of consolidation R vs LR. Design of 360 eligible treated pts would provide 93.8% power to detect 10% improvement in 2-yr PFS from 70% hypothesized for BR, corresponding to 37.4% reduction in hazard using stratified log-rank test at 1-sided 10% alpha. Efficacy population was 179 (BVR) and 180 (BR), induction treatment completed in 144 vs 153, progressive disease during induction 6 vs 7 and registration to consolidation 140 vs 145. Results: Baseline demographics did not differ between the groups, with median age 67 (range 42-90) and 13% < 60 yr, 73% men, ECOG PS 0-1 97%, MIPI Low/Med/Hi 37/29/34%. Estimated PFS at 2 yrs 79.6% BVR (95% CI 73.8-85.9) vs 74.5% BR (95% CI 68.2-81.4) (1-sided stratified log-rank p = 0.268). With median PFS follow-up 51 mos, median PFS estimated at 64.1 and 64.0 mos. Overall response rate (ORR) for BVR was 88.9% (CR 65.5%) vs 89.5% (CR 60.5%) BR (z-test 1 sided p = 0.577 for ORR). Treatment related deaths during induction were 2 in BVR (cardiac arrest, hepatitis) and 1 in BR (tumor lysis). Grade ≥ 3 toxicities were 88.1% (163/185) BVR vs 77.5% (145/187) BR. For BVR vs BR grade ≥ 3 neutropenia occurred in 52 vs 39 pts, though febrile neutropenia (7 vs 6), anemia (7 vs 8) and thrombocytopenia (18 vs 16) did not differ. Peripheral neuropathy (PN) grade 2 was 8 sensory for BVR vs 2 sensory/1 motor for BR, while grade 3 PN was 6 sensory/1 motor for BVR vs 0 with BR. The only non-hematologic grade ≥ 3 toxicity in > 5% of pts was rash (9 vs 12 pts). Conclusions: Bortezomib did not significantly improve the primary endpoint of PFS when added to BR as initial MCL therapy. ORR and CR rates at end of induction were also similar. Follow-up continues to assess the entire treatment regimen, including consolidation R vs LR, but the PFS > 5 yrs, high ORR and MRD negativity rate (Smith et al ASH 2019) in this BR-based trial support BR as a platform for MCL induction therapy. Clinical trial information: NCT01415752.

Abstract
7522 Background: Patients with newly diagnoseddiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who achieve event-free survival at 24 months (EFS24) following immunochemotherapy (IC) have excellent overall survival (OS) similar to that of age- and sex-matched general population. The standard of care for patients with relapsed or refractory (RR) DLBCL following frontline IC is salvage therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). The goal of this study is to evaluate the role of progression-free survival (PFS) at 24 months (PFS24) as a landmark after ASCT in patients with RR DLBCL. Methods: Patients with RR DLBCL after frontline R-CHOP or R-CHOP-like IC who underwent salvage therapy and ASCT at Mayo Clinic or University of Iowa between 07/2000 and 4/2020 were identified from institutional lymphoma transplant databases. Clinical characteristics, treatment information, and outcome data were abstracted. Post-ASCT PFS, OS, and post-relapse survival (PRS) were plotted by Kaplan-Meier method, and cumulative incidences of relapse vs non-relapse mortality (NRM) and different causes of death were compared accounting for competing events. Statistical analyses were performed in EZR v1.54. Results: A total of 437 patients were identified. Median age at ASCT was 61 years (range 19-78), and 280 (64%) were male. After a median post-ASCT follow up of 8.0 years (95% CI 7.2-8.7), 215 patients had a relapse (or disease progression), 180 within 2 years and 35 after 2 years. For the entire cohort, post-ASCT relapse rate was much higher than NRM rate (48.1 vs 9.1% at 5-year). Median PFS and OS after ASCT was 2.7 and 5.4 years, respectively. Lymphoma was the primary cause of death after ASCT. In contrast, for patients who had achieved PFS24 (n = 220), rates of post-PFS24 relapse and NRM were similar (14.8% and 12.3% at 5-year). Median PFS and OS after achieving PFS24 was 10.0 and 11.5 years, respectively. Lymphoma related and unrelated death rates were similar after achieving PFS24 (Table). For all patients who had a post-ASCT relapse, median PRS was 0.7 years (95% CI 0.5-0.9), and late relapse ( > 2 vs ≤2 years after ASCT) was associated with better PRS (median 2.3 [1.7-4.8] vs 0.5 [0.3-0.7] years, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Post-ASCT PFS24 is an important prognostic predictor of post-ASCT outcomes in patients with RR DLBCL following frontline IC.[Table: see text]

e19501 Background: The current standard of care for patients with relapsed or refractory (RR) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) following frontline immunochemotherapy (IC) is salvage therapy, followed by high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) rescue in patients responding to salvage therapy. Time to first relapse (or refractory status) and response to salvage therapy in patients with RR DLBCL may reflect the chemosensitivity of the underlying disease. The aim of this study is to determine whether these factors impact post-ASCT outcomes. Methods: Patients with DLBCL that relapsed after R-CHOP or R-CHOP-like frontline therapy who underwent salvage therapy and ASCT at Mayo Clinic or University of Iowa between 07/2000 and 4/2020 were identified from institutional lymphoma and transplant databases. Clinical characteristics, treatment information, and outcome data were abstracted. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from the time of ASCT were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards models. Results: A total of 437 patients with RR DLBCL who underwent salvage therapy and ASCT were identified. 280 (64%) were male. Median time from initial diagnosis to 1st relapse/salvage was 1.0 years (range 0.1-16.4). A median of 1 line (range 1-3) of salvage therapy was required. Response prior to ASCT was complete response (CR) in 211 (48%), partial response in 199 (46%), stable disease in 24 (5%), and unknown in 3 (1%) patients. Median age at ASCT was 61 years (range 19-78), and median follow up after ASCT was 8.0 years (95% CI 7.2-8.7). Median PFS and OS was 2.7 (95% CI 1.5-4.3) and 5.4 (4.2-7.4) years, respectively. Time to 1st relapse/salvage (≤1 vs 1-2 vs > 2 years) was not associated with PFS (median 0.8 vs 2.4 vs 4.9 years, p = 0.170) but was associated with OS (2.4 vs 7.4 vs 6.8 years, p = 0.013). Patients who required > 1 line of salvage therapy had significantly inferior PFS (median 0.3 vs 4.5 years, p < 0.001) and OS (0.9 vs 7.4 years, p < 0.001). In addition, patients who failed to achieve a CR prior to ASCT had significantly worse PFS (median 0.8 vs 5.3 years, p < 0.001) and OS (2.7 vs 9.2 years, p < 0.001). In multivariate Cox regression models adjusted for age and sex, time to 1st relapse/salvage was not associated with PFS (p = 0.313) or OS (p = 0.081); however, lines of salvage and response prior to ASCT remain significantly prognostic for PFS ( > 1 line of salvage: HR 2.14, 95% CI 1.59-2.87, p < 0.001; non-CR: HR 1.61, 95% CI 1.26-2.05, p < 0.001) and OS ( > 1 line of salvage: HR 2.25, 95% CI 1.66-3.05, p < 0.001; non-CR: HR 1.63, 95% CI 1.26-2.12, p < 0.001). Conclusions: In patients with RR DLBCL following frontline IC, requiring more than 1 line of salvage therapy and failure to achieve CR are strong independent risk factors for poor PFS and OS after ASCT. Novel therapies such as CAR-T cell therapy should be studied in this population.

Abstract
e19547 Background: Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL, LT) is a rare, aggressive lymphoma characterized by skin involvement predominantly in the lower extremities, and is associated with an inferior prognosis compared to other primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas. Immunochemotherapy with or without involved-field radiation therapy (IFRT) is considered standard, front-line therapy. Interestingly, over-expression of PD-L1/PD-L2 has been shown in a high proportion of PCDLBCL, LT cases, but efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in relapsed/refractory, PCDLBCL, LT has not been thoroughly studied. Therefore, we describe the outcomes of 1) immunochemotherapy with and without IFRT as front-line treatment of PCDLBCL, LT, and 2) ICIs in the relapsed/refractory setting. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with PCDLBCL, LT seen at Mayo Clinic from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2020. Using the Kaplan-Meier method, we calculated progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR), and overall survival (OS) in patients who received front-line R-CHOP with and without IFRT, and salvage ICI therapy for relapsed/refractory disease. Results: A total of 28 patients with PCDLBCL, LT were identified. The median age at diagnosis was 71.6 years (range 48.0-91.7), 50% (N = 14) were male, and 78.6% (N = 22) had disease involvement of the lower extremities at diagnosis. For front-line treatment, 31.2% (N = 9) received R-CHOP with IFRT, and 31.2% (N = 9) received R-CHOP without IFRT. The median PFS in patients treated with R-CHOP plus IFRT was 41.8 months [95% CI: 30.2-69.6] compared to 13.7 months [95% CI: 10.7-27.7; p= 0.01] in those treated with R-CHOP without IFRT. The median OS in patients treated with R-CHOP plus IFRT was 74.7 months [95% CI: 53.0-108.6] compared to 38.2 months [95% CI: 26.0-80.4; p= 0.14] in those treated with R-CHOP without IFRT. Patient and disease characteristics were similar among these two groups. ICIs were used in 17.9% (N = 5) of patients with relapsed/refractory, PCDLBCL, LT, and these patients had received a median of three (range 2-10) prior systemic therapies. The overall response rate was 60% as three patients treated with ICIs achieved a complete response, and the other two patients showed no clinical response. The median DOR from ICIs was 23.0 months [95% CI: 3.6-26.0]. The median PFS from ICI therapy was 10.2 months [95% CI: 3.6 – not reached]. Only one of the five patients was noted to have a mild side effect from ICI treatment (elevated alkaline phosphatase, grade 1). Conclusions: R-CHOP with IFRT was associated with a longer median PFS compared to R-CHOP without IFRT as front-line therapy for PCDLBCL, LT. Furthermore, ICIs may have a role in treating relapsed/refractory disease as reasonable activity in heavily pre-treated patients and a favorable safety profile were observed in this study. Further studies would be of benefit to confirm our findings.

Abstract
7526 Background: Stem cell transplant (SCT) was considered to be beneficial in CLL patients with Richter transformation (RT). We report a single center experience of SCT for RT. Methods: CLL patients with biopsy-confirmed RT to DLBCL who underwent SCT were identified from Mayo Clinic CLL database, and clinical information was abstracted by chart review. Survival analysis was done with the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Twenty-four of 204 RT patients underwent SCT, 20 autologous and 4 allogeneic. The median lines of prior CLL therapy was 1 (range 0-4). Only 4 patients were exposed to ibrutinib prior to RT. The median age at RT diagnosis was 62 (range 41-73). Five of 17 (29%) patients had bulky disease (≥ 5 cm), 12 of 20 (60%) had elevated LDH, and 6 of 15 (40%) had TP53 disruption (del(17p) or TP53 mutation). The median lines of RT therapy prior to SCT was 2 (range 1-4); treatments included R-CHOP-like alone (n = 7), platinum-based alone (n = 1), both R-CHOP-like and platinum-based (n = 11), novel agents (n = 2), and high dose MTX-based (n = 3). Response prior to SCT was CR in 12 (50%) and PR in 12 (50%) patients. The median time from RT diagnosis to SCT was 6.8 months (range 3.3-42.3). After a median follow-up of 52.7 months after SCT, there were 10 RT relapses, 4 CLL progression, and 11 deaths (7 RT, 1 CLL and 3 unrelated). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 28.5 months (95% CI 8.3-NA; 1-year PFS 61.8%, 2-year PFS 50.5%). The median post-SCT survival was 56.3 months (95% CI 30.6-76.6; 2-year survival 82.0%, 4-year survival 65.6%). Elevated LDH was associated with worse PFS (median 8.9 months vs NA, P= 0.014) and a trend of worse post-SCT survival (53.7 vs 67.4 months, P= 0.153). Other factors including age, prior CLL treatment (untreated vs treated), bulky disease, response prior to SCT, and TP53 disruption were not associated with PFS or post-SCT survival. Among the 4 allogeneic SCT patients, 1 had RT relapse 10.5 months after SCT and was treated with venetoclax, ibrutinib and obinutuzumab and remained alive at last follow-up (12.9 months after SCT). All 3 other patients remained in remission and alive at last follow up (15.6, 16.1 and 108.5 months after SCT, respectively). Conclusions: SCT may benefit select RT patients. The role of SCT in the novel agent era needs further study.

Abstract
7509 Background: Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare lymphoma for which scant comparative data exist to guide frontline therapy. Herein, we compare 3 commonly used regimens in WM: R-Benda, DRC, and BDR in frontline setting. Methods: Patients (Pts) with active WM seen at Mayo Clinic between 2000 & 2018 who received R-Benda, DRC or BDR as primary therapy were included in this retrospective study. Response rates were assessed by Consensus Criteria. All time to event analyses were performed from the frontline therapy, using Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The study included 172 pts with active WM (R-Benda, n=67, DRC, n=75, BDR, n=30).The median follow-up for the entire cohort was 3.7 years (y) (95% CI 3.7-3.0). Baseline characteristics, including IPSS, and time to frontline therapy from WM diagnosis were similar across the 3 cohorts. Clinically relevant endpoints are shown in the Table. Hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities were similar across the 3 groups. Grade 3 neuropathy requiring treatment discontinuation was encountered in 13% pts treated with BDR. 56 pts received subsequent salvage therapy [(10% in R-Benda arm, 44% in DRC arm, & 53% in BDR arm]; 29% pts in the R-Benda arm and 30% pts in DRC arm received a PI-based regimen while 69% pts in the BDR arm received alkylator-rituximab based therapy. Conclusions: Outcomes (MRR, TTNT and EFS) with frontline R-Benda are superior in comparison to frontline DRC or BDR in patients with WM. Clinically relevant endpoints are not significantly different with DRC vs. BDR. The toxicity profile across the 3 groups was comparable. [Table: see text]

Abstract
7559 Background: Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare indolent lymphoma commonly treated with rituximab (R)-based therapy. The use of rituximab maintenance (mR) in WM is controversial. We present a case-control study of patients (pts) with WM treated with mR. Methods: Pts evaluated at Mayo Clinic, Rochester with active WM that received mR between 1/2000 & 6/2018 were included. Cases comprised pts who received mR following R-based induction as primary therapy. Cases were matched based on the time of diagnosis in 1:2 ratio with a control group treated with R-based primary induction therapy without mR. Time to event analyses were performed from initiation of R-based induction. Results: Of 776 pts with active WM, 42 (5%) cases received mR and 84 pts were selected as controls. The median follow-up and the proportion of high risk pts were comparable between the two cohorts (Table). Pts in the mR cohort show a trend toward longer time to next therapy (TTNT) and a significantly longer overall survival (OS) compared to the control group (Table). The R-based induction therapies were comparable in the two cohorts (p = 0.6). Median duration of mR was 1.9 yrs (95% CI 1.6-2) and mR was used most frequently every (q) 2 (range 1-6) months. Of the 42 mR pts, 25 (60%) received an R-based combination for induction and 17 (40%) received R monotherapy as induction. Five (12%) pts discontinued mR due to toxicity, infections were reported in 13 pts (31%) during mR therapy and 3 pts (7%) received IVIg infusions for recurrent infections. Conclusions: R-based induction followed by mR demonstrates a longer OS in WM compared to R-treated control population not receiving mR, albeit at a high rate of infections. Despite limitations of a retrospective study, with a heterogeneously treated cohort, these data add to the body of literature supporting Rituximab maintenance. Results from an ongoing randomized controlled trial are awaited. [Table: see text]

Abstract
64 Background: The goals of our Lymphoma Survivorship Clinic (SC) are to coordinate care, educate patients, and create a survivorship care plan (SCP). The aim of this study was to determine if patient-centered outcomes are improved after a SC visit. Methods: From 11/13-5/15, surveys were mailed to recently-treated lymphoma patients who were within 4 weeks of their last visit and in remission. Quality of life (QOL) was measured with PROMIS and distress was measured with the Impact of Events scale. Responses between those who attended SC and those who were eligible but did not attend were analyzed. Results: There were 96 surveys sent to the SC group; 59 were returned (61% response rate). Of the non-SC group, 140 surveys were sent and 84 were returned (60% response rate). Mean age was 57 years (range 23-77) in the SC group and 59 years (23-88) in the non-SC group. There were more females in the SC group (52% vs 30%) but no differences in race, marital status, education, or health literacy. Those who attended the SC were more likely to recall receiving a summary of cancer treatment and recommendations for follow-up care (90% SC vs. 75% non-SC, p = 0.03). Furthermore, SC attendees were more likely to “definitely” recall discussion on improving health or preventing illness (89% vs. 53%), getting help in making changes in habits/lifestyle (76% vs. 50%), diet (80% vs. 31%), and exercise (82% vs. 51%), all p < 0.001. There were no differences in discussions regarding smoking, follow-up testing, and symptom monitoring. The SC group was less likely to need more information regarding sexuality (6% vs 20%, p = 0.045). There were no differences in need for information regarding anxiety, fitness, familial cancer risk, fertility, complementary therapies, and social issues. The SC group was slightly more confident that they could get information or advice related to cancer (completely confident 76% vs. 61%, p = 0.07). There were no differences in QOL or distress. Conclusions: A Lymphoma SC visit increased receipt of SCP and provided more information on survivorship issues, particularly health behaviors, but did not improve QOL or distress. Further study is needed to determine if this leads to long-term health benefits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We conducted this trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of temsirolimus added to an established regimen comprised of rituximab and cladribine for the initial treatment of mantle cell lymphoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS A standard phase I cohort of three study design was utilized. The fixed doses of rituximab and cladribine were 375 mg/m(2) i.v. day 1 and 5 mg/m(2)/day i.v. days 1-5 of a 28-day cycle, respectively. There were five planned temsirolimus i.v. dose levels: 15 mg day 1; 25 mg day 1; 25 mg days 1 and 15; 25 mg days 1, 8 and 15; and 25 mg days 1, 8, 15, and 22. RESULTS Seventeen patients were treated: three each at levels 1-4 and five at dose level 5. The median age was 75 years (52-86 years). Mantle Cell International Prognostic Index (MIPI) scores were low in 6% (1), intermediate in 59% (10), and high in 35% (6) of patients. Five patients were treated at level 5 without dose limiting toxicity. Hematologic toxicity was frequent: grade 3 anemia in 12%, grade 3 thrombocytopenia in 41%, grade 4 thrombocytopenia in 24%, grade 3 neutropenia in 6%, and grade 4 neutropenia in 18% of patients. The overall response rate (ORR) was 94% with 53% complete response and 41% partial response. The median progression-free survival was 18.7 months. CONCLUSIONS Temsirolimus 25 mg i.v. weekly may be safely added to rituximab and cladribine at 375 mg/m(2) i.v. day 1 and 5 mg/m(2)/day i.v. days 1-5 of a 28-day cycle, respectively. This regimen had promising preliminary activity in an elderly cohort of patients with mantle cell lymphoma. CLINICALTRIALSGOV IDENTIFIER NCT00787969.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perforation is a serious life-threatening complication of lymphomas involving the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Although some perforations occur as the initial presentation of GI lymphoma, others occur after initiation of chemotherapy. To define the location and timing of perforation, a single-center study was carried out of all patients with GI lymphoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 1975 and 2012, 1062 patients were identified with biopsy-proven GI involvement with lymphoma. A retrospective chart review was undertaken to identify patients with gut perforation and to determine their clinicopathologic features. RESULTS Nine percent (92 of 1062) of patients developed a perforation, of which 55% (51 of 92) occurred after chemotherapy. The median day of perforation after initiation of chemotherapy was 46 days (mean, 83 days; range, 2-298) and 44% of perforations occurred within the first 4 weeks of treatment. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was the most common lymphoma associated with perforation (59%, 55 of 92). Compared with indolent B-cell lymphomas, the risk of perforation was higher with aggressive B-cell lymphomas (hazard ratio, HR = 6.31, P < 0.0001) or T-cell/other types (HR = 12.40, P < 0.0001). The small intestine was the most common site of perforation (59%). CONCLUSION Perforation remains a significant complication of GI lymphomas and is more frequently associated with aggressive than indolent lymphomas. Supported in part by University of Iowa/Mayo Clinic SPORE CA97274 and the Predolin Foundation.

Abstract
7041 Background: Prognostic factors for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) at day 100 post-autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (APBHSCT) have not been evaluated. We previously reported that absolute monocyte (AMC)/lymphocyte count (ALC) prognostic score (AMLCPS) at diagnosis of DLBCL patients is a prognostic factor of survival, stratifying patients into three risk groups: low- (AMC<630/μL and ALC>1000/μL), intermediate- (AMC ≥ 630/μL or ALC ≤ 1000/μL) and high-risk (AMC ≥ 630/μL and ALC ≤ 1000/μL) (Leukemia 25: 1502-9, 2011). Therefore, we evaluated day 100 AMLCPS as a prognostic factor of survival by landmark analysis from day 100 post-APBHSCT in DLBCL patients. Methods: DLBCL patients that achieved complete response by day 100 post-APBHSCT qualified for the study. From 2000 to 2007, 134 consecutive DLBCL patients were evaluated. Overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) were calculated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: The median follow up from day 100 for the cohort was 5.5 years (range: 0.17-12.17 years) and for living patients (N=93) was 6.9 years (range: 2.5-12.17 years). Day 100 AMLCPS was able to stratify patients into three risk groups low-, intermediate-, and high-risk for OS [low: median OS = not reached, 5-year survival rate = 94% (95%CI 83.3%-98.1%); intermediate: median OS = not reached, 5-year survival rate = 70% (95%CI 58.0%-79.8%); high: median OS = 2.2 years, 5-year survival rate = 13% (95%CI 3.4%-40.5%); p<0.0001] and PFS [low: median PFS = not reached, 5-year progression free rate = 87% (95%CI 74.5%-94.3%); intermediate: median PFS = 10.9 years, 5-year progression free rate = 67% (95%CI 55.4%-77.5%); high: median PFS = 1 year, 5-year progression free rate = 13% (95%CI 3.4%-40.5%); p<0.0001]. The day 100 AMLCPS was balanced in relation to the International Prognostic Index (IPI; p=0.22), infused CD34+ stem cells (p=0.92), and disease status pre-APBHSCT (complete remission versus partial response; p=0.11). Conclusions: The day 100 AMLCPS is a simple biomarker that can help identify DLBCL patients post-APBHSCT with poor clinical outcomes.

Abstract
9057 Background: The incidence of CAM use among patients with cancer is higher when compared to the general population. However, there are few studies examining CAM use in NHL survivors, and limited data are available regarding beliefs in CAM. This study was conducted to examine the prevalence of CAM use in NHL, define CAM beliefs among NHL survivors, and explore differences between patients with indolent and aggressive lymphoma. Methods: Newly diagnosed lymphoma patients were prospectively enrolled within 9 months of diagnosis in the University of Iowa/Mayo Clinic SPORE Molecular Epidemiology Resource from 2002-2008. NHL patients who completed the 3-year post diagnosis questionnaire, which includes questions regarding CAM use and beliefs, were included in this study. Chi-squared tests and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were used to assess the association of CAM use with prognostic and demographic factors. Results: 719 patients were included with a median age of 63 years (range 22-92). 53% were male. Overall, 636 (89%) reported ever using CAM. 78% of patients used vitamins and 54% alternative therapies (chiropractic (36%) and massage therapy (24%)). Among CAM users, 141 (22%) believe CAM can assist the body to heal, 123 (19%) believe CAM can relieve cancer symptoms, 115 (18%) believe CAM use gives a feeling of control, 106 (17%) believe CAM can boost immunity, 24 (4%) believe CAM can cure cancer, and 35 (6%) believe CAM can prevent the spread of cancer. Female gender was associated with increased overall CAM use (p<0.0001) as well as use of vitamins (p<0.0001), herbal supplements (p=0.006) and alternative therapy (p=0.0002) specifically for cancer. Older age was also associated with increased vitamin use (p=0.005) and decreased herbal supplements use (p=0.008). There was no significant difference in overall CAM use between those with follicular lymphoma grades I-II (n=195, 91%) and non-relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n=151, 87%), although massage therapy was utilized more often by FL survivors (29% versus 18%, p=0.005). Conclusions: CAM modalities are used by the majority of NHL survivors (89%). The assessment of CAM use and education regarding potential harms is imperative for the NHL survivor.

Abstract
Lenalidomide was shown to have significant single-agent activity in relapsed aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). We conducted a phase I trial to establish the maximum tolerated dose of lenalidomide that could be combined with R-CHOP (rituximab-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone). Eligible patients were adults with newly diagnosed, untreated CD20 positive diffuse large cell or follicular grade III NHL. Patients received oral lenalidomide on days 1-10 with standard dose R-CHOP every 21 days. All patients received pegfilgrastim on day 2 of the cycle and aspirin prophylaxis. The lenalidomide dose levels tested were 15, 20 and 25 mg. A total of 24 patients were enrolled. The median age was 65 (35-82) years and 54% were over 60 years. Three patients received 15 mg, 3 received 20 mg and 18 received 25 mg of lenalidomide. No dose limiting toxicity was found, and 25 mg on days 1-10 is the recommended dose for phase II. The incidence of grade IV neutropenia and thrombocytopenia was 67% and 21%, respectively. Febrile neutropenia was rare (4%) and there were no toxic deaths. The overall response rate was 100% with a complete response rate of 77%. Lenalidomide at the dose of 25 mg/day administered on days 1 to 10 of 21-day cycle can be safely combined with R-CHOP in the initial chemotherapy of aggressive B-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
Despite the use of modern immunochemotherapy regimens, almost 50% of patients with diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma will relapse. Current prognostic models, including the International Prognostic Index, incorporate patient and tumor characteristics. In contrast, recent observations show that variables related to host adaptive immunity and the tumor microenvironment are significant prognostic variables in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Therefore, we retrospectively examined the absolute monocyte and lymphocyte counts as prognostic variables in a cohort of 366 diffuse large-B-cell lymphoma patients who were treated between 1993 and 2007 and followed at a single institution. The absolute monocyte and lymphocyte counts in univariate analysis predicted progression-free and overall survival when analyzed as continuous and dichotomized variables. On multivariate analysis performed with factors included in the IPI, the absolute monocyte and lymphocyte counts remained independent predictors of progression-free and overall survival. Therefore, the absolute monocyte and lymphocyte counts were combined to generate a prognostic score that identified patients with an especially poor overall survival. This prognostic score was independent of the IPI and added to its ability to identify high-risk patients.

Abstract
The use of erythropoietic agents has been associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTEs), especially in patients with underlying malignancies. However, it is not known whether there is an increased risk of VTE associated with granulocyte growth factors. We reviewed 621 patients undergoing PBSC mobilization using granulocyte growth factors, alone or in combination with CY. Patients with a diagnosis of AL amyloidosis (AL: 114; 18%), multiple myeloma (MM: 278; 44%) Hodgkin lymphoma (HL: 20; 3%) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL: 209; 33%) were included. Symptomatic VTE occurred in six (0.97%) patients: two AL, two MM and two NHL. Of the six patients, two had pulmonary embolism, one developed deep vein thrombosis and three developed symptomatic catheter related thrombosis. Two patients with AL had heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis. We found a low incidence of VTE among patients undergoing PBSC mobilization.

Abstract
Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is an effective treatment strategy for mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) demonstrating significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) when compared to interferon-alpha maintenance therapy of patients in first remission. The study of absolute lymphocyte count at day 15 (ALC-15) after ASCT as a prognostic factor in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) included different lymphoma subtypes. The relationship of ALC-15 after ASCT in MCL has not been specifically addressed. We evaluated the impact of ALC-15 recovery on survival of MCL patients undergoing ASCT. We studied 42 consecutive MCL patients who underwent ASCT at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester from 1993 to 2005. ALC-15 threshold was set at 500 cells/microl. The median follow-up after ASCT was 25 months (range, 2-106 months). The median overall survival (OS) and PFS times were significantly better for the 24 patients who achieved an ALC-15 >or=500 cells/microl compared with 18 patients with ALC-15 <500 cells/microl (not reached vs 30 months, P<0.01 and not reached vs 16 months, P<0.0006, respectively). Multivariate analysis demonstrated ALC-15 to be an independent prognostic factor for OS and PFS. The ALC-15 >or=500 cells/microl is associated with a significantly improved clinical outcome following ASCT in MCL.

Abstract
To evaluate autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in older patients with intermediate grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), the Mayo Clinic Rochester BMT database was reviewed for all patients 60 years of age and older who received ASCT for NHL between September 1995 and February 2003. Factors evaluated included treatment-related mortality (TRM), event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). Ninety-three patients were identified, including twenty-four (26%) over the age of 70 years. Treatment-related mortality (5.4%) was not significantly different when compared to a younger cohort (2.2%). At a median follow-up of 14 months (0.6-87.6 months), the estimated median survival is 25 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 12-38) in the older group compared to 56 months (95% CI 37-75) (P=0.037) in the younger group. The estimated 4-year EFS was 38% for the older group compared to 42% in the younger cohort (P=0.1). By multivariate analysis, the only factor found to influence survival in the older group was age-adjusted International Prognostic Index at relapse, 0-1 better than 2-3 (P=0.03). Autologous stem-cell transplant can be safely performed in patients 60 years or older with chemotherapy sensitive relapsed or first partial remission NHL. The outcome may not be different from that of younger patients in terms of TRM and EFS.

Abstract
Prognosis in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is unfavorable and the optimal therapy remains uncertain. Currently, allogeneic stem cell transplantation is the only known curative therapeutic option. However, the data available are limited and restricted to small retrospective series. There is even less information on the use of donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI) for this disease. We reviewed our experience of allogeneic stem cell transplantation and DLI for adults with CMML. Seventeen consecutive adults underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation from related (n=14) or unrelated (n=3) donors. Median age was 50 years (range 26-60). Seven patients (41%) demonstrated relapse or persistent disease at a median of 6 months (range 3-55.5). Five patients underwent DLI for morphologic relapse and one for mixed donor chimerism. Two patients achieved durable complete remissions of 15 months each. The overall transplant-related mortality was 41% (n=7). With a median follow-up of 34.5 months, three patients (18%) currently remain alive and in continuous CR. The current study demonstrates a graft-versus-leukemia effect in CMML, both for allogeneic stem cell transplantation and for DLI. Nevertheless, consistent with reported experience of others, overall outcomes remain less than optimal and unpredictable.

Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation are used increasingly to treat patients with light-chain-related amyloidosis (AL). Treatment-related mortality is approximately 15%. To enable more patients to undergo stem cell transplantation, a risk-adapted strategy has been developed to treat with lower chemotherapy doses those patients who are at excessive risk. It is unclear whether reducing the chemotherapy dose in patients at excessive risk of treatment toxicity reduces the overall response. We retrospectively reviewed 171 AL patients who underwent conditioning chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation. The patients comprised two groups: those receiving standard high-dose melphalan and those receiving intermediate-dose melphalan. Responses were categorized as hematologic response, which used criteria for myeloma response. The two groups showed statistically significant differences; the overall response rates were 75% in the high-dose group and 53% in the intermediate-dose group although treatment-related mortality was the same in both groups. Reducing the melphalan dose appeared to render more AL patients eligible for stem cell transplantation but sacrificed an element of response. Methods are needed to reduce treatment-related toxicity so that more patients can receive full-dose conditioning chemotherapy.

Abstract
Despite response rates of 30% after high-dose chemotherapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant, patients with multiple myeloma are not cured. 153Samarium ethylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonate (153Sm-EDTMP; Quadramet) is a short-range, beta-emitting therapeutic radiopharmaceutical with avid skeletal uptake. In total, 12 patients were treated with escalating doses of 153Sm-EDTMP (N=3/group; 6, 12, 19.8, and 30 mCi/kg) and a fixed dose of melphalan (200 mg/m(2)). No dose limiting toxicity was seen. To better standardize the marrow compartment radiation dose, the study was modified such that an additional six patients were treated at a targeted absorbed radiation dose to the red marrow of 40 Gy based on a trace labeled infusion 1 week prior to the therapy. Despite rapid elimination of unbound radiopharmaceutical via kidneys and bladder, no episodes of nephrotoxicity, hemorrhagic cystitis, or delayed radiation nephritis were observed with a median follow-up of 31 months (range 8.5-44). Median times to ANC>0.5 and platelet >20 x 10(6)/l were 12 and 11 days, respectively, with no graft failures. Overall response rate was 94% including seven very good partial responses and five complete responses. Addition of 153Sm EDTMP to melphalan conditioning appears to be safe, well-tolerated and worthy of further study.

Abstract
Absolute lymphocyte count at day 15 (ALC-15) after autologous peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (APHSCT) is an independent prognostic factor for survival in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Factors affecting ALC-15 remain unknown. We hypothesized that dose of infused autograft lymphocytes (A-ALC) directly impacts upon ALC-15. A total of 190 consecutive NHL patients received A-ALC between 1993 and 2001. The primary end point was correlation between A-ALC and ALC-15. A strong correlation was identified (r=0.71). A higher A-ALC was infused into patients achieving an ALC-15 > or =500/microl vs ALC-15 <500/microl (median of 0.68 x 10(9)/kg (0.04-2.21 x 10(9)/kg), vs 0.34 x 10(9)/kg (0.04-1.42 x 10(9)/kg), P<0.0001). The median follow-up for all patients was 36 months (maximum of 109 months). The A-ALC threshold was determined at 0.5 x 10(9)/kg. The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) times were longer in patients who received an A-ALC >/=0.5 x 10(9)/kg vs A-ALC <0.5 x 10(9)/kg (76 vs 17 months, P<0.0001; 49 vs 10 months, P<0.0001, respectively). Multivariate analysis demonstrated A-ALC to be an independent prognostic indicator for OS and PFS. These data support our hypothesis that ALC-15 and survival are dependent upon the dose of infused A-ALC in NHL.

Abstract
Allogeneic blood and marrow transplantation (BMT) is curative for many patients with high-risk and relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, relapse is an important cause of post-transplantation failure, and there are no reliable markers to predict relapse. A retrospective review of patients with ALL who underwent matched related allogeneic BMT was carried out to examine whether the rate of lymphocyte recovery after transplantation had any prognostic value in ALL. The absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) at days 21 and 30 after transplantation was obtained for 43 patients who received transplants during an 18-year period. Patients with an ALC of 175 x 10(6)/l or less on day 21 were more likely to relapse than those with ALC greater than 175 x 10(6)/l (relative risk, 4; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-11.2). Patients with slower lymphocyte recovery had significantly lower relapse-free survival than those with faster recovery (P=0.0028). There was also a trend toward poorer overall survival among those with a slow lymphocyte recovery (log-rank test; P=0.028). The rate of lymphocyte recovery is prognostic in patients with ALL undergoing allogeneic BMT, and this should be integrated with other predictors to identify patients at high risk of relapse. Such patients could be considered for interventions aimed at prevention of relapse, including rapid withdrawal of immunosuppressive medication or donor lymphocyte infusion.

Abstract
Secondary myelodysplastic syndrome (sMDS) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) have been recognized with increasing frequency following autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). A retrospective analysis of 230 consecutive patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL, 64) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL, 166) who underwent ASCT was conducted to assess the incidence and risk factors for the development of sMDS/AML. At a median follow up of 41 months (range 0.1-177 months), 10 of 230 patients (4.3%) developed sMDS/AML. The 5-year-actuarial incidence of sMDS/AML was 13.1% and 5-year cumulative incidence by competing risk analysis was 4.2%. The median time to development of sMDS/AML was 39.9 months from the time of ASCT (range 12.1-62.0 months). Complex karyotypes at diagnosis of sMDS/AML included structural anomalies and/or loss of chromosome 5 (eight patients), 7 (five patients), 17 (two patients) and 20 (two patients). All patients subsequently died, at a median of 6.8 months (range 0-39.9) from diagnosis of sMDS/AML. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis for -5/5q- and -7/7q- were normal in all six patients whose pre-ASCT bone marrow was available for testing. Five of the six had samples available for testing at diagnosis of sMDS/AML and all had abnormal FISH results. By univariate statistical analysis, male gender (P=0.01), prior alkylating agents (mechlorethamine for HL, P=0.001 and cyclophosphamide for NHL, P=0.05) and the number of prior treatment regimens (P=0.04) were significantly associated with the development of sMDS/AML. Given the relatively low incidence rate of sMDS/AML, these analyses are primarily exploratory in nature but provide some insight into relevant risk factors and illustrate the risk of developing sMDS/AML after myeloablative conditioning and ASCT for lymphoma.

Abstract
The combination of CYA and short-course MTX is commonly used for GVHD prophylaxis after allogeneic BMT. Severe mucositis and organ dysfunction early after transplantation often lead to omission of the day +11 dose of MTX. To examine whether this omission increases the risk of acute or chronic GVHD, we reviewed 135 allogeneic BMTs performed at our institution in which CYA and short-course MTX prophylaxis were used. Patients receiving less than three doses of MTX and those who died before day +11 were excluded. Of the 123 eligible patients, 84 received all four doses and 39 received three doses, with the fourth dose withheld because of severe mucositis (n = 27) or hepatic or renal dysfunction (n = 12). Acute GVHD of any grade developed in 23 patients (59%) in the three-dose group compared with 57 patients (68%) in the four-dose group (P = 0.33). Chronic GVHD developed in 15 patients (38%) in the three-dose group compared with 31 patients (37%) in the four-dose group (P = 0.87). There was no difference in the overall rate of acute or chronic GVHD between the groups. However, the three-dose group was more likely to develop grade III or IV acute GVHD (12 of 39 (31%) ) compared with the four-dose group (12 of 84 (14%); P = 0.03). Relapse-free survival was similar for the two groups. We conclude that omitting day +11 MTX appears to increase the risk of severe acute GVHD.

Abstract
Infusion related adverse events (AE) with day 1 rituximab in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) are common. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the AE occurring in patients with malignant B-cell lymphocytosis who received rituximab. Patients with a > or = 3 x 10(9)/L absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) receiving rituximab from 1998 to 1999 or participating in a phase I study of rituximab and interleukin-12 were reviewed. The AE occurring on the day of rituximab, the treatment provided (including hospitalization), and the subsequent ALC responses were recorded. Twenty-seven patients were identified; 14 had NHL, one Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, and 12 patients had chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The baseline median ALC was 9.58 x 10(9)/L (mean, 49.31; range, 3.56-380.95). All patients received rituximab as an outpatient. There were only two AE > or = grade 3. One patient was hospitalized for 1 day for i.v. fluids to treat an increase in creatinine that occurred with tumor lysis. A second patient developed a pulmonary syndrome five days after day 1 rituximab and required mechanical ventilation, but had no long-term lung toxicity. This study demonstrates that patients with high numbers of circulating blood B-lymphocytes can usually safely receive rituximab as outpatients. Patients who experience a rapid drop in ALC should be monitored closely for tumor lysis and the pulmonary syndrome.

Abstract
Allogeneic BMT is potentially curative for patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in first remission. However, many patients relapse after transplantation. Various immunotherapeutic options have been attempted with variable success in preventing relapse. Early identification of patients at high risk for relapse could allow prompt intervention. We examined the effect of slow lymphocyte recovery after sibling-matched allogeneic BMT on the risk of relapse in patients with AML. We also examined the effect of prednisone-containing GVHD prophylaxis on the rate of lymphocyte recovery. Patients with absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) <150 x 10(6)/l by day +30 had a 3.5-fold higher risk of relapse (P = 0.0088) and a lower overall survival (P = 0.0079) than patients with a higher ALC. We did not find correlation between lymphocyte count determined earlier in the post-transplantation course (day +21) and the risk of relapse. Patients receiving prednisone had a significantly lower ALC at day +30 than those who did not receive prednisone (289 vs 549 x 10(6)/l, P = 0.002). We conclude that a slow lymphocyte recovery after allogeneic BMT for AML is strongly predictive of subsequent relapse and that the type of GVHD prophylaxis should be considered when analyzing lymphocyte recovery.

Abstract
Hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) results in considerable morbidity and mortality. No therapy has been shown to be uniformly effective. Several studies have highlighted the pivotal role of endothelial injury and the hemostatic system in the pathogenesis of HVOD. Charcoal hemofiltration has been shown to be effective for adsorbing circulating bilirubin and other protein-bound toxins and for supporting patients in hepatic failure. We describe two adult patients with severe, biopsy-proven HVOD (peak bilirubin levels, more than 50 mg/dl in both cases) after HSCT who were successfully treated with charcoal hemofiltration after other treatments failed (including defibrotide in one patient). Both patients were heavily treated before they underwent either autologous (melphalan and total body irradiation conditioning) or allogeneic (cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation conditioning) HSCT. Additional studies are warranted to confirm this preliminary observation and investigate the mechanism of action.

Abstract
High relapse rates during the first year after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for multiple myeloma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma are due to the failure of high-dose chemotherapy to eradicate minimal residual disease. Post-ASCT immunorecovery studies have shown that quantities of natural killer (NK) cells return to normal within 1 month post-ASCT in contrast to the recovery of T and B cell populations (up to 1 year). Preclinical studies have demonstrated that NK cells have potent antitumor activity. IL-2 and IFN-alpha enhance NK-cell activity. We investigated the efficacy of IL-2 and IFN-alpha to up-regulate NK-cell cytotoxicity at 14 days post ASCT. Twenty patients undergoing ASCT had PBMCs collected pretransplantation and at 14 days post transplantation. PBMCs (effector cells) from each blood sample were incubated in vitro with IFN-alpha and IL-2 at 10000 IU/ml. NK cell activity was determined by sodium chromate (51)Cr release assay for lysis of K562 target cells. IL-2 and IFN-alpha each increased lysis of K562 cells compared with placebo (effector-to-target ratio, 50:1, P < 0.001). Increased NK cell activity occurred in samples from all patients. IL-2 and IFN-alpha up-regulated NK cell activity at 14 days post ASCT. They may be useful as immunomodulators as early as 14 days post ASCT to eradicate or control minimal residual disease.

Abstract
Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) improves survival in patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma (MM) and relapsed, chemotherapy-sensitive, aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Lower relapse rates seen in allogeneic stem cell transplantation have been related to early absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) recovery as a manifestation of early graft-verus-tumor effect. In ASCT, the relation between ALC recovery and clinical outcomes in MM and NHL was not previously described. This is a retrospective study of patients with MM and NHL who underwent ASCT at the Mayo Clinic between 1987 and 1999. The ALC threshold was determined at 500 cells/microL on day 15 after ASCT. The study identified 126 patients with MM and 104 patients with NHL. The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) times for patients with MM were significantly longer in patients with an ALC of 500 cells/microL or more than patients with an ALC of fewer than 500 cells/microL (33 vs 12 months, P <.0001; 16 vs 8 months, P <.0003, respectively). For patients with NHL, the median OS and PFS times were significantly longer in patients with an ALC of 500 cells/microL or more versus those with fewer than 500 cells/microL (not reached vs 6 months, P <.0001; not reached vs 4 months, P <.0001, respectively). Multivariate analysis demonstrated day 15 ALC to be an independent prognostic indicator for OS and PFS rates for both groups of patients. In conclusion, ALC is correlated with clinical outcome and requires further study. (Blood. 2001;98:579-585)

Abstract
We reviewed pathologic, phenotypic, and clinical features of extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type primarily involving lung to address unresolved questions regarding behavior and pathologic features of unambiguously diagnosed pulmonary MALT lymphoma. Lung specimens from 50 patients were reviewed. Forty-one had low-grade MALT lymphoma. Nine had low-grade MALT lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patients included 32 women and 18 men with a median age of 68 years (range 34-88 years). Half of the patients were asymptomatic at the time lymphoma was diagnosed. Radiographic abnormalities were more commonly unilateral (37 patients) than bilateral (12 patients). Localized masses or nodules occurred in 39 patients. Associated autoimmune disorders (29%) and monoclonal gammopathies (43%) were common. Low-grade lymphomas formed intraparenchymal masses composed of centrocyte-like cells, plasmacytoid lymphocytes, and plasma cells that formed lymphoepithelial lesions and exhibited a lymphangitic growth pattern. Mediastinal lymph nodes were involved histologically in 44% of cases. Lymphoma-specific survival was 71.7% at 10 years, and overall survival was significantly worse than age-and gender-matched control patients. None of the following features predicted those patients who had an adverse outcome: systemic symptoms, presence of autoimmune disorders or paraproteinemia, anatomic distribution and number of pulmonary lesions, lymph node involvement, or presence of anthracycline-treated large B-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
To determine the effect of two different graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylactic regimens--cyclosporine with short course of methotrexate (CYA-MTX) and cyclosporine with prednisone (CYA-PRED)--on the incidence of chronic GVHD (cGVHD), we retrospectively reviewed the outcomes of 196 consecutive allogeneic related blood and marrow transplants performed at our institution utilizing one of these regimens. CYA-PRED was given to patients who were transplanted more recently because of concern about the increased risk of veno-occlusive disease of the liver, increased mucositis, and slower engraftment in patients receiving CYA-MTX. Prophylaxis with CYA-PRED was associated with a higher risk of development of cGVHD (risk ratio (RR) 3.5; 95% confidence intrerval (CI), 2.2-5.4). The proportion of patients with extensive disease among those developing cGVHD was higher in the CYA-PRED group (71%) than in the CYA-MTX group (57%), although this difference was not statistically significant. The cumulative probability of extensive cGVHD at 2 years was higher in the CYA-PRED group (RR 4.2, 95% CI, 2.4-7.4). Development of acute GVHD and cytomegalovirus mismatch were independent predictors of increased risk of cGVHD. We conclude that GVHD prophylaxis with CYA-PRED is associated with a higher overall rate of cGVHD compared to CYA-MTX. The type of GVHD prophylaxis should be considered when comparing the incidence of cGVHD reported in different studies.

Abstract
From 1987 to 1998, 19 of 416 patients (4.6%) who underwent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation experienced peri-engraftment (within 5 days of neutrophil recovery) respiratory distress syndrome (PERDS) not attributable to infection, fluid overload, or cardiac dysfunction. The median time from stem cell infusion to onset of PERDS was 11 days (range 4-25). Risk of PERDS or its outcome was not predicted by any pre- or peri-transplant clinical or laboratory feature. The respective median white blood cell and platelet counts at first symptoms were 1.3 x 10(9)/l and 25 x 10(9)/l. No patients had an infectious etiology by bronchoalveolar lavage. Six of the 19 patients had alveolar hemorrhage, which was significantly correlated with high neutrophil count. PERDS was directly implicated in four deaths (21%). Eleven patients received high-dose corticosteroid therapy, including five of the six who required mechanical ventilation. Ten of these patients experienced clinical improvement, which occurred within 24 h in five. The rapid response to corticosteroid treatment and the fact that such therapy was delayed until after intubation in all the mechanically ventilated cases point to a therapeutic benefit.

Abstract
Infectious complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in transplant recipients. We describe a case of fatal disseminated aspergillosis immediately following autologous peripheral stem cell reconstitution in a patient who had undergone orthotopic heart transplantation for systemic amyloidosis. The case described suggests that the infectious risks in patients undergoing these sequential procedures may be distinct from those occurring in patients undergoing either procedure independently. Potential prophylactic and therapeutic interventions are discussed. Since this experimental and evolving approach for the management of systemic amyloidosis is potentially applicable to a limited number of patients, multicenter collaboration may be needed to further define the infectious risks in this unique subset of transplant recipients.

Abstract
This study investigated the response rate and toxicity of blood cell transplantation as treatment for primary amyloidosis (AL). Twenty-three patients had stem cells collected between November 1995 and September 1998. Conditioning included melphalan and total body irradiation in 16 and melphalan alone in 4. Three patients did not undergo stem cell infusion because of poor performance status. Two died of progressive amyloid at 1 and 3 months. One patient is alive on hemodialysis. Fourteen males and six females (median age, 57 years) underwent transplantation. Renal, cardiac (by echocardiography), peripheral neuropathy or liver amyloidosis occurred in 14, 12, 3, and 1, respectively. Echocardiography demonstrated an interventricular septal thickness > or = 15 mm in six patients, five of whom died post transplantation. Three patients died of progressive amyloidosis at 7, 7, and 21 months. Thirteen patients are alive with a follow-up of 3 to 26 months. Twelve (60%) fulfilled the criteria of a hematologic or organ response. Severe gastrointestinal tract toxicity was seen in five (25%). We conclude that blood cell transplantation for amyloidosis had a much higher morbidity and mortality compared with transplantation for myeloma. The best results appear to occur in patients with nephrotic syndrome as the only manifestation of their disease.

Abstract
The outpatient bone marrow biopsy and aspiration (BMBA) procedure performed with local anesthetic is often poorly tolerated in adults. This prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial was designed to determine whether oral (p.o.) lorazepam and hydromorphone reduces pain and anxiety during BMBA. Eligible patients had lymphoma, had no prior BMBA, and were > or = 18 years old. Since patients had bilateral BMBA, each served as their own control. Patients were stratified by anxiety level using the Spielberger Trait Anxiety Scale and randomized to: A) placebo for the first BMBA and 2 mg lorazepam and 2 mg hydromorphone p.o. for the contralateral BMBA, or B) placebo for both BMBAS. Changes in pain and anxiety experienced between the first and second BMBA were measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Spielberger State Anxiety Scale at the time of the BMBA and 24 hours later. Twenty-seven patients were enrolled and 25 were evaluable; there were 17 males and eight females. The median age was 57 years (range, 28-79 years). Overall, BMBA was reported as painful in both arms, with a median VAS pain score after the second BMBA of 3.9 (scale, 0-10) for arm A and 5.8 for arm B (P = 0.21). There was no difference in the change in pain, anxiety, or recalled anxiety between treatment arms (all P values > 0.05). The difference in the change in recalled pain was of borderline significance (P = 0.07) and consistent with benzodiazepine-induced anterograde amnesia.
