Abstract Introduction: The prognosis of patients (pts) with histological transformation (HT) of Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) remains dismal with standard chemoimmunotherapy. CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies (CAR-T) can lead to durable responses in relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) and are approved in the second or third line settings. Pts with HT-WM were largely excluded from CAR-T trials. We previously reported high response rates in a series of 23 pts. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a larger cohort of pts with R/R HT-WM treated with CAR-T with a longer follow-up. Methods: We performed a multicenter retrospective study of pts with biopsy-proven transformed WM/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma treated with CAR-T in the French DESCAR-T registry (NCT04328298), 4 centers from ECWM and 4 US centers. This study includes updated data from previously published cases (Durot et al, Blood, 2024). Responses were assessed according to the Lugano 2014 criteria. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) were graded according to the ASTCT 2019 consensus criteria. Hematological toxicity and infections were graded according to the NCI CTCAE (version 5.0). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated from the date of CAR-T infusion and estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: 50 pts were included (39 from DESCAR-T centers, 7 from US centers and 4 from ECWM centers). Median age was 60 (range: 32-72) and 68 (range: 42-82) years at WM diagnosis and CAR-T infusion, respectively. MYD88L265P and CXCR4 mutations were present in 79% (23/29) and 15% (2/13) of patients with available data, respectively. The median time from WM to HT diagnosis was 5.3 years (range: 0-32). Median prior lines of therapy was 1 (range: 0-9) for WM and 2 for HT (range: 0-4). Twenty (40%) pts previously received a BTK inhibitor for WM or HT, 12 (24%) underwent prior autologous SCT and 1 pt allogeneic SCT. 40% of pts presented primary refractory disease and 44% were refractory to last treatment before CAR-T. 40 pts (80%) received bridging therapy, of whom 17 (44%) responded (7 complete responses (CR)). 35 (70%), 10 (20%), and 5 (10%) pts received axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel), tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel), and lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel), respectively. The best overall response rate (ORR) was 94%, with 44 (88%) pts reaching CR. With a median follow-up of 25.7 months (range: 1-69) from CAR-T infusion, the median PFS was 1.2 years (95% CI: 0.5-4.5) and median OS was 4.2 years (95% CI: 1.2-not reached). Median duration of response was 1.5 years (95% CI: 0.4-4.4), with a median of 4 years (95% CI: 1.5-NR) for pts still in CR at 6 months after CAR-T. 22 pts experienced relapse/progression after CAR-T, 19 related to LBCL and 3 to WM. Median survival after relapse was 7.9 months (95% CI: 3.8-25.3). At LBCL relapse after CAR-T, salvage therapy consisted of CD20xCD3 bispecific antibodies for 9 pts, lenalidomide +/- anti-CD20 or anti-CD19 antibody for 6 pts, and BTKi for 3 pts. Among 19 pts who died, 14 (74%) were due to progressive disease and 5 (26%) from infections. 37 (76%) pts experienced CRS, including 2 (4%) grade 3 events, and 22 (45%) had ICANS, with 2 (4%) ≥ grade 3 events. 17 (35%) pts presented infections, including 12 ≥ grade 3. 21 (43%) pts developed ≥ grade 3 prolonged cytopenias (ie, not resolved within 30 days post infusion). CNS involvement due to LBCL was present in 11 pts (22%) at the time of CAR-T. 6 of them had ICANS, with 1 grade 4. The best ORR was 91% (best CR 91%). Only 1 patient did not obtain a response, with stable disease at 1 month and progression at 3 months. The median PFS was 1.2 year (95% CI: 0.2-NR) and median OS was NR (95% CI: 0.5-NR). On univariate analysis, only elevated LDH was correlated with worse PFS (HR 2.5, p=0.04) and OS (HR 3.3, p=0.04). Other variables, including number of prior lines of therapy, MYD88 mutation status, primary refractory disease, refractory to last treatment, CNS involvement before CAR-T, response after bridging therapy and type of CAR-T received, were not associated with inferior PFS or OS. Conclusion: This cohort represents the largest series of pts with transformed WM treated with anti-CD19 CAR-T. We confirm the high efficacy previously reported with an acceptable safety profile, including for pts with CNS involvement due to LBCL at CAR-T infusion.

Introduction: Brexu-cel is an autologous anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy approved in the US and EU for treatment of adults with R/R MCL (after ≥2 prior therapies in EU) based on a high objective response rate (ORR; 93%; 67% complete response [CR] rate) in pts who received the pivotal dose (2×106 anti-CD19 CAR T cells/kg; Cohort 1; N=60) in ZUMA-2 (NCT02601313; Wang et al, N Engl J Med 2020). After ~4 years (y) of median follow-up, Brexu-cel demonstrated a median overall survival (OS) of 46.4 months (mo) in 68 pts with R/R MCL in Cohort 1 (Goy et al. ASH 2023). Cohort 2 was established to assess a lower dose (0.5 x 106 anti-CD19 CAR T cells/kg); however, the risk/benefit ratio of the Cohort 1 dose was deemed the optimal dose before Cohort 2 reached full enrollment. Here we report primary outcomes of Cohort 2 and 5-y outcomes of Cohorts 1 and 2. Methods: Pts with R/R MCL and ≤5 prior therapies including a BTKi received optional bridging therapy (protocol-defined), lymphodepleting chemotherapy, and 1 infusion of brexu-cel. The primary endpoint was ORR (CR + partial response [PR]) per Lugano classification (Cheson et al. J Clin Oncol. 2014) by independent radiology review committee (IRRC) assessment. Key secondary endpoints were duration of response (DOR), best objective response (BOR), progression-free survival (PFS), OS, and safety. After ≥24 mo of assessment, pts could transition to long-term follow-up (LTFU), NCT05041309, where they were monitored for late-onset targeted/serious adverse events (AEs) possibly related to brexu-cel, presence of replication-competent retrovirus (RCR), and/or insertional mutagenesis. Descriptive statistics are reported herein. Results: As of the primary analysis data cutoff date, July 24, 2019, 17 pts enrolled in Cohort 2, 14 (82%) of whom were treated with brexu-cel with median follow-up of 16.0 mo (range, 13.9-18.0). Pt characteristics for Cohort 2 (N=14) were similar to Cohort 1; median (range) age and number or prior therapies was 61.5 y (52-73) and 3 (2-5); 100% US-treated, 79% male, 71% extranodal disease, 50% intermediate or high s-MIPI scores, 50% refractory to last therapy, and 43% had prior autologous stem cell transplantation. ORR was 93% (95% CI, 66.1-99.8) per IRRC; 64% had a CR (95% CI, 35.1-87.2), 29% had a PR (95% CI, 8.4-58.1) and 1 pt was not assessed. All 14 pts had ≥1 AE of any grade (Gr), with Gr ≥3 AEs occurring in 93% of pts; the most common being hypotension (50%), white blood cell count decrease (50%), anemia (43%), and neutrophil count decrease (43%). Rates of Gr ≥3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurological events were 7% and 43%, respectively. As of April 1, 2024, median follow-up (range) for Cohort 1 and 2 was 67.8 mo (58.2-88.6; N=68) and 72.3 mo (70.1-74.3; N=14), respectively. In Cohort 1, 24 pts were still alive (35%; 2 withdrew consent and 1 lost to follow up) and 44 pts died (65%). In Cohort 2, 8 pts were still alive (57%; 2 withdrew consent and 1 lost to follow up) and 6 pts died (43%). A total of 27 pts (Cohort 1, n=23; Cohort 2, n=4) enrolled in the LTFU study by data cutoff with a median follow-up time of 70.2 mo (range, 58.2-88.6). Median (95% CI) investigator-assessed DOR and PFS were 36.5 mo (17.7-48.9; n=60; 17 patients in ongoing response, all CR) and 25.3 mo (12.7-46.6; N=68) in Cohort 1; and 57.5 mo (4.7-not estimable [NE]; n=12; 3 pts in ongoing response, all CR) and 29.5 mo (3.3-NE; N=14) in Cohort 2. Median OS (95% CI) and 60-mo OS rates (95% CI) were 46.5 mo (24.9- 60.2) and 38.5% (26.7-50.1) in Cohort 1; and not reached (9.4-NE) and 53.6% (23.8-76.2) in Cohort 2. One pt had 3 ongoing AEs on LTFU, hypogammaglobulinemia and 2 viral infections that arose prior to LTFU. Two pts died on LTFU, both due to progressive disease; no new secondary malignancies or RCR cases were reported. Conclusions: Consistent with Cohort 1, brexu-cel demonstrated a high ORR, durable responses, and an expected safety profile in pts with R/R MCL in Cohort 2 despite the lower dose. However, small sample size limits interpretation of these results. With >5 y of median follow-up, pts in Cohort 1 and 2 continued to experience durable responses with high 60-mo OS rates. No new safety signals were detected and no secondary malignancies or RCR cases were reported in LTFU. Additionally, ZUMA-2 results are consistent with real-world outcomes of brexu-cel in the post BTKi R/R MCL setting (89% ORR and 81% CR rate; Wang Y, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2023). These results support the continued use of brexu-cel in R/R MCL.

Introduction CD19 CAR T cell therapies are highly effective for several aggressive B-cell malignancies. Emerging data suggest that these therapies may lead to durable, treatment-free responses in multiple autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), systemic sclerosis (SSc), and multiple sclerosis (MS). BMS-986353 (CC-97540) is an investigational CAR T cell therapy expressing the CD19-targeting CAR used in FDA-approved lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel). BMS-986353 is manufactured using the NEX-TTM process, which shortens manufacturing time and optimizes phenotypic attributes of the CAR T cell product. Here, we report updated data on BMS-986353 in severe, refractory autoimmune diseases. Methods Two phase 1, multicenter, open-label studies are investigating BMS-986353 in patients (pts) with severe, refractory SLE, IIM, and SSc (CA061-1001; NCT05869955), and relapsing or progressive forms of MS (CA061-1006; NCT06220201). CAR T cells were manufactured using the NEX-T process and autoimmune-directed therapies were tapered before BMS-986353 infusion. Two to 9 d after lymphodepletion (3 d of fludarabine [30 mg/m2/d], cyclophosphamide [300 mg/m2/d]), a single infusion of BMS-986353 was administered. Pts were treated with 5 × 106 (MS only), 10 × 106, or 25 × 106 CAR+ T cells according to dose level. Pharmacokinetics were evaluated using droplet digital PCR to detect transgene copy numbers, and pharmacodynamics were measured using flow cytometry. Results As of Jul 12, 2024, 7 pts were treated with BMS-986353 (SLE, n=5; SSc, n=1; relapsing-remitting MS [RRMS], n=1). Seven pts were evaluable for safety; 4 pts were evaluable for efficacy (median follow-up of 167.5 d [range, 68-240]). All 5 pts with SLE had history of renal organ system involvement (BILAG category A) and disease refractory to multiple prior therapies (range 5-8); at screening, scores were (median [range]): SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K), 12.0 (7.0-22.0); Physician's Global Assessment (PGA), 2.3 (1.5-2.5). The pt with SSc was aged 43 y, and had history of progression of diffuse cutaneous SSc after 2 therapies and a modified Rodnan skin score of 18; the pt with RRMS was aged 33 y, and had history of active clinical disease despite 3 prior anti-CD20 therapies and an Expanded Disability Status Scale score of 3.0. Cytokine release syndrome was reported in 1 pt with SLE (grade [gr] 1) and 1 pt with SSc (gr 2), both resolved within 1 d. ICANS was reported in 1 pt with SSc (gr 1) and resolved in 1 d. Gr 3/4 transient lymphodepletion-related cytopenia occurred in 4 pts with SLE and 1 pt with MS. There were no prolonged gr ≥3 cytopenias or dose-limiting toxicities reported. In all efficacy evaluable pts, significant improvements in SLEDAI-2K (median, 4.0) and PGA (median, 0.55) were observed. dsDNA seroconverted and complements normalized for all pts who had abnormal values at screening. All pts remain off autoimmune-directed therapies without evidence of disease flare. Pts with SLE treated with 10 x 106 CAR+ T cell dose of BMS-986353 showed complete B-cell depletion and similar robust cellular expansion compared with pts with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with liso-cel (TRANSFORM; NCT03575351) at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D; 100 x 106 CAR+ T cells). At the time of B-cell reconstitution following BMS-986353, re-emerging B cells were predominantly naive. Conclusions BMS-986353, a NEX-T investigational CD19-targeted CAR T cell therapy, has a more rapid manufacturing time and optimized phenotypic attributes. In pts with severe, refractory autoimmune diseases, BMS-986353 demonstrates a low rate of low gr CRS and ICANS events. Preliminary data suggest promising efficacy in pts with SLE despite discontinuation of all lupus therapies. Robust CAR T cell expansion comparable to the RP2D of liso-cel and complete B-cell depletion were observed after BMS-986353 at a dose of 10 x 106 CAR+ T cells despite being 1/10 of the RP2D of liso-cel. The studies continue to enroll pts in all autoimmune indications. Updated safety, efficacy, and translational data will be presented.

Background Brexucabtagene autoleucel (brexu-cel) is an autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy approved in the USA for adults with relapsed or refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and in the European Union for patients ≥26 years with R/R B-ALL. After 2 years of follow-up in ZUMA-3, the overall complete remission (CR) rate (CR+CR with incomplete hematological recovery (CRi)) was 73%, and the median overall survival (OS) was 25.4 months in 78 Phase 1 and 2 patients with R/R B-ALL who received the pivotal dose of brexu-cel. Outcomes by prior therapies and subsequent allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) are reported. Methods Eligible adults had R/R B-ALL and received one infusion of brexu-cel (1×10⁶ CAR T cells/kg) following conditioning chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was the CR/CRi rate per central review. Post hoc subgroup analyses were exploratory with descriptive statistics provided. Results Phase 1 and 2 patients (N=78) were included with median follow-up of 29.7 months (range, 20.7–58.3). High CR/CRi rates were observed across all prior therapy subgroups examined: 1 prior line of therapy (87%, n=15) and ≥2 prior lines (70%, n=63); prior blinatumomab (63%, n=38) and no prior blinatumomab (83%, n=40); prior inotuzumab (59%, n=17) and no prior inotuzumab (77%, n=61); and prior alloSCT (76%, n=29) and no prior alloSCT (71%, n=49). The frequency of Grade ≥3 cytokine release syndrome, neurological events, and treatment-related Grade 5 adverse events were largely similar among prior therapy subgroups. Median duration of remission (DOR) in responders with (n=14) and without (n=43) subsequent alloSCT was 44.2 (95% CI, 8.1 to not estimable (NE)) and 18.6 months (95% CI, 9.4 to NE); median OS was 47.0 months (95% CI, 10.2 to NE) and not reached (95% CI, 23.2 to NE), respectively. Median DOR and OS were not reached in responders without prior or subsequent alloSCT (n=22). Conclusions In ZUMA-3, adults with R/R B-ALL benefited from brexu-cel, regardless of prior therapies and subsequent alloSCT status, though survival appeared better in patients without certain prior therapies and in earlier lines of therapy. Additional studies are needed to determine the impact prior therapies and subsequent alloSCT have on outcomes of patients who receive brexu-cel.

7010 Background: Brexucabtagene autoleucel (KTE-X19) is an autologous anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy approved in the US to treat adult R/R B-ALL based on the ZUMA-3 study. The overall complete remission (CR) rate (CR + CR with incomplete hematologic recovery [CRi]) was 71% (95% CI, 57-82) after 16.4 mo median follow-up (N = 55; Shah et al. Lancet 2021). Here, we report updated outcomes with longer follow-up in these pts and in a larger pooled analysis of Phase (Ph) 1 and 2 pts who received the pivotal dose of KTE-X19. Methods: Eligible adults (≥18 years) had R/R B-ALL and received a single infusion of KTE-X19 at the pivotal dose (1×106 CAR T cells/kg) following leukapheresis and conditioning chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was CR/CRi rate by central review. Results: As of 23 July 2021, median follow-up was 26.8 mo (range, 20.7-32.6) for treated Ph 2 pts (N = 55). The CR/CRi rate per central review was 71% (95% CI, 57-82; 56% CR; 15% CRi). Eleven pts (20%; 8 CR and 2 CRi) proceeded to subsequent allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT). Median duration of remission (DOR) censored at subsequent alloSCT was 14.6 mo (9.4-not estimable [NE]); not censored: 18.6 mo (9.6-NE); 6/39 responders (15%) had ongoing responses at data cutoff. Median (95% CI) relapse-free survival (RFS) was 11.6 mo (2.7-20.5) censored at subsequent alloSCT and 11.7 mo (2.8-20.5) not censored at subsequent alloSCT; 18-mo RFS rates (95% CI) were 35% (20.5-50.6) and 42% (28.0-55.0), respectively. Median (95% CI) overall survival (OS) was 25.4 mo (16.2-NE) among all KTE-X19-treated pts and not reached (25.4-NE) in pts with CR (n = 31). For Ph 1/2 pts (N = 78) who received the pivotal KTE-X19 dose (median follow-up: 29.7 mo; range 20.7-58.3), the CR/CRi rate by independent review was 73% (95% CI, 62-82). Medians (95% CI) for DOR, RFS, and OS were 18.6 mo (9.6-NE), 11.7 mo (6.1-20.5), and 25.4 mo (16.2-NE), respectively. A subgroup analysis revealed that in pts aged 18-39 (n = 36), 40-59 (n = 27), and ≥60 (n = 15) years, the CR/CRi rates (95% CI) were 69% (52-84), 70% (50-86), and 87% (60-98); 24-mo OS rates (95% CI) were 48% (30-64), 54% (33-71), and 57% (28-78), respectively. In pts with pre-KTE-X19 infusion marrow blast percentages > 25 to ≤50 (n = 12), > 50 to ≤75 (n = 14), and > 75 to 100 (n = 30), CR/CRi rates (95% CI) were 83% (52-98), 86% (57-98), and 57% (37-75); 24-mo OS rates (95% CI) were 58% (27-80), 55% (26-77) and 37% (19-55), respectively. There were no new safety signals; the proportion of treated Ph 2 pts with Gr ≥3 treatment emergent adverse events was unchanged since prior data cutoff. One pt had an ongoing neurologic event of Gr 1 finger numbness. Conclusions: With longer follow-up and an expanded data set by independent review, outcomes remain durable in adults with R/R B-ALL, most of whom were heavily pretreated, with median OS not yet reached in pts with CR. Long-term safety was favorable. Clinical trial information: NCT02614066.

7002 Background: ZUMA-3 is a Phase 1/2 multicenter study evaluating KTE-X19, an autologous anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, in adult pts with R/R B-ALL. Phase 1 efficacy results at the recommended Phase 2 dose (1×106 CAR T cells/kg) were encouraging (Shah et al. ASCO 2019 #7006). Here, we present the pivotal Phase 2 results. Methods: Eligible adults had R/R B-ALL, > 5% bone marrow (BM) blasts by local evaluation, and ECOG 0–1. Pts received a single infusion of KTE-X19 after conditioning chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was the overall complete remission (CR) rate (CR + CR with incomplete hematologic recovery [CRi]) by central review. Key secondary endpoints were duration of remission (DOR), relapse-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), measurable residual disease negativity (MRD–) rate by flow cytometry, and safety. Data are reported in all treated pts. Results: As of 9/2020, 55 of 71 enrolled pts received KTE-X19, with a median follow-up of 16.4 mo (range, 10.3–22.1). Adverse events (AEs; n = 8) and ineligibility (n = 4) were the most common reasons enrolled pts did not receive KTE-X19 infusion. Median age was 40 y (range, 19–84), median BM blasts at screening were 65% (range, 5–100), and 47% of pts had ≥3 prior therapies, with 45%, 22%, and 42% having previously received blinatumomab, inotuzumab ozogamicin, or allogeneic stem cell transplant (alloSCT), respectively. The CR/CRi rate was 71% (95% CI, 57–82; 56% CR, 15% CRi); 31% of responders had ongoing responses. Median (95% CI) DOR, RFS, and OS were 12.8 mo (8.7–not estimable [NE]), 11.6 mo (2.7–15.5), and 18.2 mo (15.9–NE), respectively. In responders, median (95% CI) RFS and OS were 14.2 mo (11.6–NE) and not reached (16.2–NE). The MRD– rate was 97% among pts with CR/CRi. Among 25 pts with prior blinatumomab treatment, the CR/CRi rate was 60%. Ten pts (18%) received subsequent alloSCT at a median 98 days post–KTE-X19 infusion. Median DOR remained unchanged when not censoring for alloSCT. Grade ≥3 AEs occurred in 95% of pts, most commonly anemia (49%) and neutropenia (49% [febrile 13%]). Grade ≥3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS; per Lee at al. Blood 2014) and neurologic events occurred in 24% and 25% of pts, respectively, and were generally reversible. Two Grade 5 KTE-X19–related events occurred (brain herniation, n = 1; septic shock, n = 1). Median times to onset of CRS and neurologic events were 5 d and 9 d, with median durations of 7.5 d and 7 d, respectively. Median peak CAR T-cell levels (cells/µL) were 40.5 (range, 1.3–1533.4) in pts with CR and 0 in nonresponders. CAR T cells were undetectable by 9 mo in ongoing responders. Conclusions: After a median follow-up of 16.4 mo, KTE-X19 demonstrated compelling clinical benefit in heavily pretreated adults with R/R B-ALL, with the median OS not yet reached for responding pts and a manageable safety profile. Clinical trial information: NCT02614066.

Introduction: Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are highly active in relapsed/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), but most patients (pts) will still relapse. Given this, allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) remains an important option for pts after PD-1 blockade, as it offers the possibility of cure. Prior reports have suggested that alloHSCT after PD-1 mAbs may be associated with severe immune-related complications including acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), veno-occlusive disease (VOD) and cytokine release/febrile non-infectious syndrome (CRS). Prior studies of alloHSCT after PD-1 blockade in cHL have been limited by the small number of pts and short follow-up, preventing an accurate assessment of long-term outcomes and complications, risk factors for early toxicity, and the impact of transplant strategies such as choice of GVHD prophylaxis. We therefore assembled a large retrospective international cohort of cHL pts who underwent alloHSCT after PD-(L)1 blockade to better answer these questions, including an assessment of the impact of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) on efficacy and toxicity. Methods: Medical records and databases were reviewed at 26 European and United States transplant centers to identify pts with cHL who underwent an alloHSCT any time after receiving a PD-1 or PD-L1 mAb. Response assessment was performed by local investigators according to Lugano 2014 criteria. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), cumulative incidence (CumInc) of relapse (CIR), non-relapse mortality (NRM), acute (a) and chronic (c) GVHD were estimated, as was the association between baseline variables and these outcomes. Results: Between 2014 and 2019, 150 pts were identified who underwent alloHSCT after a median of 10 (range, 1-74) doses of nivolumab (n=118), pembrolizumab (n=31), or avelumab (n=1). The median age was 31 (range 17-68) and pts had received a median of 4 (range, 2-11) lines of therapy prior to PD-(L)1 blockade. 138 pts (92%) had failed BV and 111 (74%) autologous HSCT. The best overall response to PD-(L)1 mAbs was CR for 62 pts (41%), PR for 55 (37%), SD for 17 (11%), PD for 15 (10%) and unknown for 1 (1%). Median time from last dose of PD-(L)1 mAb to alloHSCT was 80 days (range, 17-756) with 70 pts (47%) receiving intervening systemic therapy. At alloHSCT, 90 pts were in CR (60%), 45 in PR (30%), 5 in SD (3%), and 10 in PD (7%). Donors were haploidentical (n=71, 47%), matched sibling (n=29, 19%), matched unrelated (n=39, 26%), mismatched unrelated (n=7, 5%), cord blood (n=2, 1%), or unknown (n=2, 1%). Stem cell source was bone marrow (n=38, 25%), peripheral blood (n=110, 73%), or cord blood (n=2, 1%). GVHD prophylaxis included PTCy in 88 pts (59%) (69/71 (97%) with haploidentical donors; 19/79 (24%) with other donors). With a median post-alloHSCT follow-up for survivors of 23.8 months (range, 1-67), the 2y OS and PFS were 79% (95CI 71-86%) and 65% (95CI 55-73%), respectively, while the 2y CumIncs of relapse and NRM were 21% (95CI 13-29%) and 14%, (95CI, 8-22%), respectively (Fig. 1A-B). 27 pts have died, 3 due to disease and 24 to NRM, including aGVHD (n=7) and VOD (n=2). Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) occurred in 5 pts (day 100 CumInc 4%) and 29 pts (19%) developed CRS (grade 1 n=16; grade 2 n=7; grade 3 n=4; grade 4 n=2). The 6-month CumIncs of grade 2-4, grade 3-4 and grade 4 aGVHD were 39%, 16% and 8%, respectively. Hyperacute GVHD (onset ≤ 14 days after alloHSCT) occurred in 4% of pts and was fatal in 2 pts. The 2y CumInc of cGVHD was 45%. Neither receipt of > 10 doses (median) of anti-PD-(L)1 mAb nor undergoing alloHSCT ≤80 days (median) after last dose of PD-(L)1 mAb were associated with PFS or OS. However, pts with a shorter time to transplant (≤80 days) appeared to have a higher risk of severe (grade 3-4) aGVHD (6m CumInc 24% vs 9%, p=0.006). Recipients of PTCy in this cohort had lower 2y CumIncs of cGVHD (34% vs 58%, p=0.01) and relapse (12% vs 31%, p=0.02), superior 2y PFS (76% vs 54%, p=0.015), and similar rates of severe aGVHD (15% vs 18%, p=0.5), 2y NRM (12% vs 16%, p=0.5), and 2y OS (82% vs 78%, p=0.6). Conclusions: With extended follow-up of a large international cohort, our results argue that alloSCT performed after PD-(L)1 mAbs is a feasible strategy associated with an excellent PFS and a very low CIR for this disease. The use of PT-Cy appears to be associated with improved outcomes and may at present represent the optimal transplant strategy in this pt population.

Key Points HSCT after PD-1 blockade is feasible, although may be associated with increased early immune toxicity. PD-1 blockade may cause persistent depletion of PD1+ T cells and alterations in T-cell differentiation impacting subsequent treatment.
