7075 Background: Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is a rare, aggressive peripheral T-cell lymphoma arising primarily from γδ T-cells. It carries a poor prognosis and resists conventional chemotherapy. Most reports on HSTCL are case-based. This study comprehensively analyzes a large cohort, evaluating treatment strategies and survival outcomes. Methods: This retrospective study included patients (pts) with pathologically confirmed HSTCL diagnosed between 2000-2024, consecutively seen at Mayo Clinic MN. Clinical, pathological, genomic, and treatment-related data were extracted when available. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize baseline characteristics. Time-to-event analyses, including Kaplan-Meier estimates, median overall survival (OS), and survival time estimates were conducted from the date of diagnosis. Results: A total of 20 patients with newly diagnosed HSTCL were included, with a median age of 57 years (range: 35-71). The cohort was predominantly male (70%) and non-Hispanic (93%). Molecular data was available for five patients, revealing abnormalities in STAT5B, MLL3 deletion, TP53, EZH2, TERT, and NF1 E291D . The median follow-up was 27.6 months (m) with a median OS of 17.6 m (95% CI: 11.2 - NA). First-line treatment was anthracycline-based in 68% of pts and non-anthracycline-based in 32%, with higher response rates in the latter group (50% vs.83%). Although non-anthracycline regimens showed a trend toward improved 3-year OS (100% vs. 29%) the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.16). Achieving a complete response to first-line therapy was also associated with a trend towards a better 3-year OS compared to refractory disease (80% vs. 50%, p = 0.17). Most pts (79%) underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), primarily allogeneic, with only one receiving autologous HSCT. First-line therapy before HSCT was evenly distributed between anthracycline (55%) and non-anthracycline (45%) regimens. HSCT recipients had significantly higher 3-year OS than non-recipients (83% vs. 33%, p = 0.017). Notably, the patient with a TP53 mutation has remained in remission for over a year post-allogeneic HSCT. Conclusions: HSTCL predominantly affects younger pts, with nearly half dying within a year. Allogeneic HSCT, rarely used in other NHL subtypes, improved survival. Non-anthracycline regimens and achieving CR trended toward better outcomes. Our study, leveraging a sizable cohort, highlights the need for targeted research and novel therapies to improve HSTCL management. Summary of survival outcomes in HSTCL.

Introduction: Nanotechnology for cancer therapy aims to increase drug delivery to tumor sites while lowering toxicity. AR160 is a novel 160 nm nano-immunoconjugate consisting of commercial grade nab-paclitaxel (NP) nanoparticles non-covalently coated with rituximab (R) for targeted delivery into tissues expressing CD20. The drug delivery system and clinical grade product was developed in the laboratory of Svetomir N. Markovic, M.D.,Ph.D. Single agent rituximab at a dose of 375 mg/m 2 in relapsed patients with aggressive lymphomas is not utilized and has limited activity in patients with multiple relapses. Taxanes (Younes 1995, Wilson 1995) have modest clinical activity as a single agent with overall response rates of 23% and 17%, respectively, when administered at doses of 200 mg/m 2 and 140 mg/m 2 in previously treated patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). We hypothesized that utilizing the targeted ability of rituximab that the AR160 taxane nanoparticle would have activity in relapsed B-cell NHL and offer a new class of agents for relapsed B-cell NHL. Methods: A 3+3 phase I clinical trial was conducted in patients with relapsed refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma to determine the maximum tolerated dose of AR160 administered intravenously on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle. Patients were required to have had prior systemic treatment with no other therapy with clinical benefit. Patients with aggressive lymphoma were required to have a stem cell transplant if transplant eligible. AR160 was prepared on-site in the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center Research Pharmacy, and the product was reconstituted by mixing the two agents delivering as one combined infusion at a specific concentration. The starting dose level (DL1) was NP at 100mg/m 2 with R at 40 mg/m 2. These doses were significantly lower than standard doses. Disease evaluations were conducted after every 2 treatment cycles using CT based criteria from the revised 2014 Lugano Classification or PET scans. Patients were treated until disease progression or intolerability. Samples were collected for pharmacokinetic (PK) studies. Results: Nine (7 males and 2 females) patients with a median age of 61 (range 55-84 years) were enrolled (2 follicular lymphoma (FL), 1 previously transformed from FL to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) followed by FL relapse, 1 high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements transformed from FL, 1 transformed FL to DLBCL, 2 high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements, 1 high-grade B-cell lymphoma NOS and 1 mantle cell lymphoma. The median number of prior treatments was 4 (range 3-16). At dose level 1, all 3 of the first 3 patients experienced grade 3 or 4 neutropenia (C1D15, C4D1, and C1D15) with the C4D1 a grade 4 and unlikely related. After the first three patients, de-escalation to dose level -1 was implemented per protocol with NP at 75 mg/m 2 and rituximab at 30 mg/m 2. There was one patient with a grade 3 non-hematological adverse event all possibly related to treatment (anorexia, diarrhea, and enterocolitis). There were 6 partial responses (71%), 1 complete response (14%) with high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 rearrangement, 1 stable disease with mantle cell lymphoma and 1 patient had progressive disease. Six of the 9 patients were alive with subsequent therapies. PK evaluation is pending. Conclusion: AR160 therapy is a novel drug delivery system incorporating significantly lower doses of paclitaxel and rituximab that is safe and demonstrates promising clinical activity in patients with low-grade and high-grade previously treated B-cell lymphomas. This principle of treatment is applicable to other disorders. Further clinical testing is warranted in these patient populations.

Abstract Abstract 1926 Background: Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the second most common non Hodgkin lymphoma in the United States, comprising up to 30% of all non Hodgkin lymphomas. Typically an indolent disease, relapses are common. High dose therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant is an option that has shown to produce prolonged progression-free and relapse-free survival in patients who relapse. Adequate bone marrow reserve for peripheral stem cell mobilization has been shown to be adversely effected by prior regimens such as fludarabine and radioimmunotherapy. Concerns regarding stem cell mobilization at the point of relapse have led some to collect stem cells early in the course of disease to allow for potential subsequent transplant after relapse. Recent advances in stem cell mobilization have resulted in a 3% collection failure rate for lymphoma patients at the point of planned transplant at our institution versus a historical rate of up to 30%. We studied the utilization of stem cells collected for potential future use in FL patients in remission or prior to therapy at the point of relapse or progression in order to determine the utility of this approach. Methods: Record review of patients diagnosed with FL through the Mayo Clinic Tumor Registry and the Mayo Clinic Lymphoma Data Base who had cryopreserved stem cells for potential future transplant at relapse. Cost of stem cell storage at our institution was reviewed as was the subsequent use of the collected cells. Results: 73 patients with FL had stem cells collected and stored. 37 (51%) were collected prior to a double dose yttrium-90 (90Y) ibritumomab tiuxetan trial for relapsed lymphoma as required by the study. The median age at collection of this group was 56 years (range 28–70). Stem cells remain in storage for a median of 44 months (range 8–119). The median cost of cryopreservation and storage is $4,094 based on the median storage time of 44 months (range $3,628 to 5,065) with a collection cost of $3,524.20 and an annual storage fee of $155.39. This does not include the cost of filgrastim for mobilization, nor line placement. At 5 years, 60% of the cells were not utilized, and at 10 years, 56% of the cells were not utilized. 36 (49%) of the total number of patients were not part of the double dose 90Y ibritumomab tiuxetan trial, but were collected in remission for possible future use or in the setting of relapsed, progressed or transformed disease for potential future transplant. Five of these patients required the use of plerixafor for adequate mobilization. The median age at collection of this group was 47 years (range 24–76). Stem cells remain in storage for a median of 39 months (range 2–128). The median cost of cryopreservation and storage is $4,029 based on the median storage time of 39 months (range $3,550 to 5,182) with a collection cost of $3,524.20 and an annual storage fee of $155.39. This does not include the cost of filgrastim or plerixafor for mobilization, nor line placement. At 5 years, 89% of these cells were not used, and at 10 years, 71% of cells were not used. Conclusion: The utilization of stem cells collected early in the course of FL patients is low, with the majority of cells not being utilized at 10 years. Given improved mobilization techniques resulting in 97% efficacy of stem cell collection at relapse, routine collection and storage of stem cells early in the course FL is not recommended.

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.
