Abstract Abstract 1580 Background: Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphomas of Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) account for approximately 5% of all non-Hodgkin Lymphoma cases. Specific MALT lymphomas are characterized by distinct clinical features, treatment strategies, and outcome, depending on site of the disease. While previous reports have described clinical course and treatment of gastric and pulmonary MALT lymphomas, a paucity of data exist describing primary parotid MALT lymphoma. This is a single institution experience. Methods: Patients with primary parotid MALT lymphoma were identified from the Mayo Clinic Lymphoma Database since 1986. This database includes all consenting patients with lymphoma seen at Mayo Clinic Rochester. Clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes were collected. Pathology was reviewed by a lymphoma pathologist; WHO criteria were used for diagnosis. PFS and OS were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard model was used to asses the impact of variables on PFS and OS. Results: Seventy-six consecutive patients with primary parotid MALT lymphoma were evaluated and treated at Mayo Clinic from 1986 to 2010. The median age at diagnosis was 60 years (18–90). 58 (76%) were female. 42 (55.3%) patients had a history of Sjögren's Disease and 51 (67.1%) had a history of autoimmune disorders. 52 (68.4%), 4 (5.3%), and18 (23.7%) had stage I, II, and IV disease, respectively. 2 cases did not have complete staging information. 6 (7.8%) and 2 (2.6 %) had bone marrow and lung involvement, respectively. No patients had GI tract, liver, or CNS involvement. Median estimated OS (overall survival) was 18.3 years and median PFS (progression free survival) was 7.9 years. ALC<0.96 (p=0.0162) were associated with shorter survival. Age, ECOG performance score, stage, LDH, and history of Sjögren's disease were not prognostic for overall survival. The treatment approach and PFS are outlined in the table. For stage I disease, outcomes were excellent with local therapy. The median estimated PFS was 7.9 years with 72% of patients undergoing surgery surviving at 8 years. Patients receiving radiotherapy had an estimated median PFS of 15.7 years and median OS of 18.3 years. In contrast, patients being observed had a median PFS of 5.5 years. The use of systemic therapy with chemotherapy, immunotherapy or in combination was associated with a median PFS of 7.4 years. Summary: Primary parotid MALT lymphoma is strongly associated with Sjögren's disease. This lymphoma is usually limited to the parotid and associated with a favorable prognosis. For limited disease, local treatment with radiation or surgery appears to be an effective treatment options. For extensive disease, both immunotherapy and chemotherapy are efficacious treatments. Further prospective studies and long-term follow up are needed to determine the optimal treatment approaches and efficacy of chemotherapy/immunotherapy regimens.

Abstract Background L-asparaginase (LASP) depletion of asparagine reduces antithrombin (AT) and fibrinogen and is associated with thromboembolic (TE) and hemorrhagic events (HE). AT replacement in pediatric ALL patients demonstrated safety and potential benefit as thromboprophylaxis in a prospective, randomized trial.(Mitchell et al, 2003) Current consensus supports AT replacement when AT activity is below 60%.(Stock et al, 2011) The incidence of TE and HE in adults receiving AT repletion during LASP or pegylated asparaginase (PEGASP) requires further investigation. Methods This single center, retrospective, observational study was approved by the Mayo Clinic Institutional Review Board. Consecutive adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of ALL receiving LASP or PEGASP containing chemotherapy regimens between January 2000 and October 2012 were evaluated. Patients with documented thrombophilia and pre-existing TE or HE were excluded. Patients receiving AT concentrate (ATC) compared to those that did not and were evaluated up to 60 days after the last LASP or PEGASP dose for objectively confirmed TE and HE. Results Of the 74 patients screened, 54 (73%) met inclusion criteria. Forty-seven (87%) received ATC and were evaluable. The remaining 7 (13%) did not meet follow up duration and were excluded from further analysis. Twenty-three (49%) patients received LASP, 20 (42%) received PEGASP and 4 (9%) received both. Distribution per treatment protocols was; CALGB 9111 (n=16 (34%), Larson et al, 1998), E2993 (n=12 (25%), Goldstone et al, 2008), C10403 (n=8 (17%), NLM: NCT00558519), CCG 1941 (n=6 (13%), Gaynon et al, 2006) and Augmented HyperCVAD (n=5 (11%), Faderl et al, 2011). A total of 1465 AT activity levels were analyzed, resulting in 378 doses of ATC. Ten patients (21%) experienced a clinical event, with all events occurring during cycle 1 of chemotherapy (table 1). Median time from last LASP or PEGASP dose to TE was 13 days (range 3-56) with a median of 4 days (range 3-13) from last ATC dose to TE. Median AT activity level at time of TE was 56% (range 47-72). Thrombotic events included; line-related deep vein thrombosis (LRDVT, n=7), cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST, n=1) and pulmonary embolism (PE, n=1). One patient with cerebral hemorrhage constituted the only HE. All LRDVT occurred in central venous catheters and management included; line removal (n=3), anticoagulation (n=1), line removal and anticoagulation (n=2) and no intervention (n=1). The single case of PE was managed with anticoagulation. Two patients had a recurrent LRDVT in different locations during subsequent chemotherapy in spite of ongoing ATC supplementation. Conclusions The incidence of TE in adult ALL patients receiving LASP or PEGASP during induction chemotherapy with AT thromboprophylaxis was 19%. LRDVT was the most common TE with a comparable incidence to adult ALL patients not receiving ATC (15%) (Grace et al 2011). There was a small incidence of non-LRDVT (4%) and HE (2%). As induction-phase chemotherapy and placement of central lines are independent risk factors for thrombosis, the cost-effectiveness of AT replacement for prevention of TE during adult ALL treatment requires prospective evaluation.

Abstract Abstract 459 Background: A Phase I study of TG101348, a potent, oral JAK2-selective inhibitor in patients with high- or intermediate-risk primary, post-polycythemia vera (PV) and post-essential thrombocythemia (ET) myelofibrosis (MF) recently completed enrollment. Data from the dose escalation cohort (n=28; 30–800 mg administered as a single daily dose) showed dose-linear plasma exposure, with mean elimination T1/2 at steady state ranging from 16 to 34 hours. The dose-limiting toxicity was reversible asymptomatic grade 3 or 4 amylasemia/lipasemia; the maximum tolerated dose was 680 mg. We now present updated results from an extension study in which subjects continued treatment beyond six 28-day cycles. Result: In the entire study, 59 subjects (median age 64 years) were treated. Forty four patients had PMF, 12 post-PV MF, and 3 post-ET MF; 86% were JAK2V617F-positive. Median palpable spleen size was 18 cm and 21 (36%) patients were transfusion-dependent at study enrollment. Forty three (73%) subjects continued treatment on the extension study; the median (range) cumulative exposure to TG101348 was 380 days (170-767); the number of cycles of treatment completed ranged from 7–29, and the proportion of subjects who completed 12, 18, and 24 cycles of treatment was 72%, 28%, and 14%, respectively. The median (range) treatment dose at data cutoff was 440 mg/day (120 to 680 mg/day; n = 35). Toxicity: TG101348 was well tolerated. Non-hematologic, at least possibly related adverse events included nausea (69%; Grade 3=3%), diarrhea (64%; Grade 3=10%), and vomiting (58%; Grade 3=3%), that were dose-dependent; the symptoms were self-limited or controlled with symptomatic treatment and/or dose reduction. Also observed were asymptomatic increases in serum lipase (27%), AST/ALT (27%/25%), creatinine (24%), and alkaline phosphatase (17%). Grade 3/4 hematological adverse events possibly related to TG101348 included treatment-emergent anemia (35% of patients who were not transfusion dependent at baseline), thrombocytopenia (24%), and neutropenia (10%). Spleen: During cycles 1–6, 42% of patients achieved Clinical Improvement (CI) per the International Working Group for Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment (IWG-MRT) criteria for spleen response. The CI rate for the 43 subjects who continued treatment beyond 6 cycles was 65%, and the median time (range) to CI was 140 days (77-802). After 12 cycles, 36 (95%) of the 38 evaluable patients had some degree of spleen size reduction; 32 (85%), 26 (68%), and 10 (26%) of subjects had a minimum 25%, 50%, and 100% decrease in palpable splenomegaly. JAK2V617F allele burden: Of the 48 JAK2V617F mutation-positive subjects, 23 (48%) had a baseline mutant allele burden of >20%. Of these, 20 subjects with a baseline median allele burden (range) of 62% (23% to 100%) completed at least 6 cycles of treatment. Sixteen subjects (80%) exhibited a median 62% (range 6% to 96%) decrease in JAK2V617F burden, including 9 (45%) with a ≥50% decrease; 4 subjects (20%) had increases (range 18% to 58%). Eighteen subjects (78%) completed 12 cycles of treatment; 13 (72%) had a median 50% decrease (range 29% to 82%), including 7 (39%) subjects with a ≥50% decrease; 5 subjects (28%) had no change or increases (range 0% to 22%) in JAK2V617F. Constitutional symptoms: For patients with data at baseline and cycle 6, early satiety, fatigue, night sweats, cough, and pruritus were reported by 56%, 47%, 24%, 22%, and 19% of subjects, respectively. Improvement (complete resolution) rates observed at cycle 6 were: 75% (40%), 65% (29%), 89% (89%), 88% (75%), and 100% (57%) for the aforementioned symptoms, respectively. Leukocytosis/Thrombocytosis: Leukocytosis was present at baseline in 33 subjects; following 6 and 12 cycles of therapy, 57% (n=28) and 56% (n=25) achieved normal WBC counts. Thrombocytosis was noted at baseline for 10 (17%) subjects; following 6 and 12 cycles of therapy, 90% (n=10) and 88% (n=8) achieved normal platelet counts. Conclusion: The current study provides proof-of-concept that selective JAK2 inhibition has anti-myeloproliferative/anti-clonal activity in myelofibrosis. The majority of subjects treated with TG101348 for more than 6 cycles experienced a rapid, significant, and durable decrease in splenomegaly, normalization of leukocyte/platelet counts, and improvement of disease-related symptoms, all within the context significantly decreased JAK2V617F burden.

Abstract Background: SL-401 is a novel targeted therapy directed to the interleukin-3 receptor (CD123), a target overexpressed by many hematologic malignancies. SL-401 is currently being advanced through clinical trials in patients with a variety of CD123+ malignancies including blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in remission with high relapse risk, and multiple myeloma. CD123 has been shown to be expressed on myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) cells as well as microenvironmental immune cells, namely plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), in the bone marrows of some patients with MPN including chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Microenvironmental pDCs have been implicated in promoting plasma cell disorders and preliminary data suggest that pDCs could play a related role in some myeloid neoplasms. Accordingly, a therapy directed at both CD123-expressing myeloid cells and neighboring CD123-expressing pDCs could provide therapeutic benefit. SL-401 is being evaluated in patients with advanced, high-risk MPN, including systemic mastocytosis (SM), myelofibrosis (MF), primary eosinophilic disorders (PED), and CMML. Preliminary results are reported here. Methods & Results: This multicenter, single-arm Phase 2 trial of patients with advanced, high risk MPN includes a lead-in (stage 1) and expansion (stage 2). In stage 1, patients receive SL-401 as a daily IV infusion at 7, 9, 12 ug/kg/day, or higher for days 1-3 of a 21-28 day cycle in a 3x3 design. In stage 2, patients receive SL-401 at the dose determined in stage 1. Study objectives include characterization of the safety profile, including determination of the maximum tolerated or tested dose, and detection of preliminary efficacy signals including evaluation of tumor response and progression free survival by standard criteria. As of 7/20/16, 6 patients with MPN (MF, n=3; CMML-2, n=2; CMML-1, n=1) received SL-401 (7 ug/kg, n=3; 9 ug/kg, n=3). The median age was 66 years (range: 42-81 years). Patients treated at all doses received 1+ to 2+ cycles (ongoing) of SL-401. The most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were thrombocytopenia (2/6; 33%) and fatigue (2/6; 33%); the most common ≥ Grade 3 treatment-related AEs were thrombocytopenia (2/6; 33%) and anemia (1/6; 17%); there has been no DLT. Efficacy assessments are ongoing. Patients are currently enrolling in the 12 ug/kg/day cohort. Conclusions: Initial dosing of SL-401 appears to be well-tolerated in patients with MPN and CMML, with no unexpected AEs observed. Given CD123 expression on myeloid neoplastic cells as well as microenvironmental immune cells (namely, pDCs), SL-401 may offer a novel, targeted therapeutic approach in patients with high-risk MPN and CMML of unmet medical need. Enrollment continues in stage 1 of this ongoing Phase 2 trial and updated safety and efficacy data will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT02268253.

Abstract Background: Simtuzumab (SIM) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that inhibits lysyl oxidase-like molecule 2 (LOXL2), an extracellular matrix enzyme that catalyzes the covalent cross-linking of collagen and is widely expressed across many fibrotic diseases. In pre-clinical models, inhibition of LOXL2 blocks fibroblast activation, which plays an important role in the development of organ fibrosis. In Phase 1 studies, SIM was well-tolerated in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors, liver fibrosis, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). A Phase 2, open-label study to determine the efficacy of SIM alone (Stage 1) and combined with ruxolitinib (rux) (Stage 2) in pts with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and post-ET/PV MF was initiated. Methods: Eligible pts had intermediate-1, intermediate-2, or high risk disease and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of <2. The primary endpoint was rate of clinical response as defined by a reduction in bone marrow fibrosis score following 24 weeks of treatment with SIM. Patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive 200 mg or 700 mg SIM by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks as monotherapy (Stage 1, n=24) or combined with rux (Stage 2, n=30). Patients received SIM for up to 24 weeks. Bone marrow biopsies and aspirates were performed approximately every 3 months. Bone marrow fibrosis scoring was performed and quantified at local investigator sites using the European Consensus on Grading Bone Marrow Fibrosis. Myelofibrosis symptoms were evaluated using the Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form (MPN-SAF) and changes in hematologic parameters and splenomegaly were assessed. Results: Between 7/14/11 and 9/22/14, 54 pts were randomized and treated (200 mg SIM [n=12], 700 mg SIM [n=12], 200 mg SIM/rux [n=15], and 700 mg SIM/rux [n=15]). In Stage 1, 0 subjects (0%) in the SIM 200 mg group and 2 subjects (16.7%; 90% CI 3.0%, 43.8%) in the SIM 700 mg group showed a reduction in bone marrow fibrosis score from Baseline to Week 24. In Stage 2, 1 subject (6.7%; 90% CI 0.3%, 27.9%) in the SIM 200 mg/rux group and 2 subjects (13.3%, 90% CI 2.4%, 36.3%) in the SIM 700 mg/rux group showed a reduction in bone marrow fibrosis score from Baseline to Week 24. In an exploratory analysis, similar numbers of subjects showed increases in bone marrow fibrosis scores. SIM treatment was not associated with meaningful improvements in hematologic parameters or reductions in MPN-SAF score or spleen size. The most frequent adverse events were those commonly associated with MF, including constitutional symptoms and reductions in hematological parameters. Conclusions: SIM treatment alone or in combination with rux is safe but does not reliably reduce bone marrow fibrosis in pts with MF. The reason for reduction of marrow fibrosis in some patients and increase in others is unclear and may be sampling variability. Clinical studies of SIM in IPF and liver fibrosis are ongoing.

Abstract Background: PRM-151 (PRM) is a recombinant form of pentraxin-2, an endogenous human protein that acts at sites of tissue damage, inducing macrophage differentiation to prevent and reverse fibrosis. 27 patients with primary myelofibrosis (MF), post-essential thrombocythemia MF, or post-polycythemia vera MF and Grade 2 or 3 bone marrow (BM) fibrosis enrolled in the first stage of a 2-stage adaptive trial in which PRM-151 10 mg/kg IV was administered for 24 weeks in four different arms: PRM-151 QW (n=8), PRM-151 Q4W (n=7), PRM-151 QW + ruxolitinib (RUX) (n=6), or PRM-151 Q4W + RUX (n=6). At 24 weeks, reductions in BM fibrosis, improvements in hemoglobin (Hgb) and platelets (PLT), decreases in symptoms (MPN-SAF Total Symptom Score [TSS]), and modest reductions in spleen size by palpation were observed in all arms, with a favorable safety profile (Verstovsek, ASH 2014, Abstract 713). Patients experiencing clinical benefit were allowed to continue beyond 24 weeks. We now report efficacy and safety in 13 patients who have completed at least 72 weeks of treatment. Bone marrow fibrosis status by morphologic WHO grading and computer-assisted image analysis (CIA) are available up to 48 weeks in some patients, as assessed by central hematopathologist reviewers blinded to patient, treatment, and timepoint. BM data through 72 weeks is pending. WHO response was defined as ≥1 grade reduction in MF grade at any time and CIA response was defined as a decrease in the % fibrosis compared to baseline with a negative slope > 1. (Pozdnyakova, EHA 2015, Abstract P677). Baseline Demographics (N=13): Median age 60 (51-76); 46% DIPSS Int-1, 54% DIPSS Int-2; 62% PMF, 15% post-ET MF, 23% post-PV MF; 46% grade 3 BM fibrosis, Hgb < 100 g/L in 38%, PLT < 100 x 109/L in 69% and <50 x 109/L in 38%; 31% JAK inhibitor-naive and 69% received a prior or current JAK inhibitor. Study treatment (N=13): In the first 24 weeks, treatment was PRM-151 QW (n=5), PRM-151 Q4W (n=3), PRM-151 QW + RUX (n=2), PRM-151 Q4W + RUX (n=3). At 28 weeks, treatment changed to PRM-151 QW (n=2), PRM-151 Q4W (n=7), and PRM-151 Q4W + RUX (n=4), with 1 patient stopping RUX for thrombocytopenia. Both PRM-151 QW patients switched to PRM-151 Q4W after 40 and 52 weeks. Two patients missed weeks 64 and 68 due to complications of a motor vehicle accident and abdominal surgery, respectively, but are continuing treatment as of week 72. BM (n=13): 54% had a morphologic response, and 85% had a CIA response. Hgb (g/L): In 5 pts with baseline Hgb < 100, median Hgb increased by 24% from 86 (range 77-97) at baseline to 107 (range 71-113) at Week 72. 3 of 5 patients who were receiving transfusions at baseline became transfusion independent, with durations of 32-60 weeks. (Figure 1) PLT (x 109/L): In 9 pts with baseline < 100, median PLT count increased by 37% from 38 (range 10-89) at baseline to 52 (range 26-159) at Week 72. All 4 patients who were receiving PLT transfusions at baseline became transfusion independent, with durations of 24-44 weeks. (Figure 2) Symptoms (N=13): 69% and 38% of patients had ≥ 50% and 100% reductions from baseline in TSS between 24 and 72 weeks, with durations of up to 48 and 12 weeks, respectively. (Figure 3) Spleen (N= 9 with palpable spleens at baseline): 50% of pts had ≥25% reduction, 2 of whom had ≥50% reduction lasting > 12 weeks. (Figure 4) Safety (N=13): Most common adverse events (AEs) regardless of relatedness were fatigue (4), nausea (3), fever (3), cough (2), diarrhea (2), tooth infection (2), headache (2), upper respiratory infection (2), hyperglycemia (2), and hyperuricemia (2). There were 13 possibly or probably related adverse events in 3 patients from beginning of study through 71 weeks, 11 Grade 1, 1 Grade 2 and 1 Grade 3, with no event occurring in > 1 patient. There were no related serious AEs in these patients. Conclusion: In 13 patients completing at least 72 weeks, PRM-151 treatment was well tolerated, and improvements in Hgb, PLT, symptoms and spleen appeared to increase with longer treatment duration.

Abstract Abstract 1909 AL amyloidosis is the most common type of systemic amyloidosis. It is caused by extracellular deposition of circulating immunoglobulin light chains (LC) thought to be secreted by a primarily bone marrow based clonal plasma cell proliferative disorder. Although, invariably, the type of LC secreted by the plasma cell clone is identical to the LC deposited in the amyloid plaque, a comprehensive analysis of the re-arranged clonal LC gene coding secreted LC protein, the protein sequence of the serum and urine monoclonal band and the LC protein deposited in the amyloid plaques have not been previously performed. In this study, we compared the protein sequence predicted by the clonal LC gene sequence with the protein sequence identified in the serum and urine monoclonal bands and protein plaques by mass spectrometry (MS) based proteomics. 10 cases with systemic AL amyloidosis were studied. Bone marrow samples containing the clonal plasma cells were obtained and clonal LC variable gene sequences were determined by PCR amplification, cloning and sequencing as described previously (Abraham et al, Blood 2003, 101: 3801). For protein analysis, monoclonal protein bands identified in serum and/or urine protein electrophoresis and immunofixation were isolated from archival gels. For amyloid plaque protein analysis, the plaques were microdissected from paraffin embedded tissue. To identify the protein amino acid sequence of serum and urine bands and amyloid plaques, the samples were digested into peptides by trypsin and analyzed by MS based proteomic analysis. (see Vrana et al. and Blood 2009; 114: 4957 for methods). The results for amino acid sequence predicted from the clonal LC gene sequence, determined directly by MS from the serum and/or urine monoclonal band and amyloid plaques were then aligned and compared. In all 10 cases, the LC amino acid sequences predicted by sequencing of the clonal LC gene from bone marrow plasma cells, the amino acid sequence obtained directly from the monoclonal serum and/or urine protein and the amino acid sequence obtained from the amyloid plaque were identical. In most cases, both the complete variable region and constant regions were deposited as amyloid plaques. Some amyloid plaques showed cleavage of first 16 amino acids of the variable region suggesting that this part was not required for amyloid deposition. All LC variable region gene sequences were affected by somatic hypermutation, and identical mutations were present in both the serum and urine bands and in the amyloid plaques. In conclusion, these results, for the first time, comprehensively show that the monoclonal protein secreted by the neoplastic plasma cells is the pathogenetic protein causing the amyloid deposits in AL amyloidosis. Amyloid deposits contain virtually all of the LC protein identified in the serum or urine including both variable and constant regions, suggesting that the presence of the constant region may also play a role in amyloidogenesis. The technological capability to determine the complete protein sequence of the amyloidogenic monoclonal serum and urine LC protein isolated from archived gels will create new opportunities to develop diagnostic, predictive and prognostic serum or urine based tests for amyloidosis.

Abstract Background L-asparaginase (LASP) therapy in adults is associated with frequent hepatic and metabolic side effects, often resulting in dose adjustments and omissions. Pegylated asparaginase (PEGASP) substituted for LASP improves convenience of administration with comparable efficacy; however, adverse event (AE) management remains challenging. The incidence and management of LASP- and PEGASP-induced metabolic and hepatic complications in adult ALL patients is not well defined. Methods This single center, retrospective, observational study was approved by the Mayo Clinic Institutional Review Board. Consecutive adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of ALL receiving LASP or PEGASP containing chemotherapy regimens between January 2000 and October 2012 were evaluated. Patients were followed up to 60 days after the last LASP or PEGASP dose for development of biochemical and clinical pancreatitis, hypertriglyceridemia and hepatotoxicity. Hyperglycemia was not analyzed due to confounding variables, such as concomitant corticosteroid administration. AEs were graded as per the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria (CTCAE) version 4.03. Analysis was performed using Cox proportional hazard models with odds ratios (with 95% confidence intervals) reported to demonstrate the strength of association between group and AE rate. Results Of 74 adult patients, 54 (73%) met inclusion criteria. History of dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, cholelithiasis and coronary artery disease was documented at baseline in 13 (24%), 4 (7%), 4 (7%) and 10 (19%) patients, respectively. Twenty eight (52%) patients received LASP, 22 (41%) received PEGASP and 4 (7%) received both. A total of 399 doses including 335 (84%) LASP and 64 (16%) PEGASP were administered. Distribution based on treatment schedules was as follows; CALGB 9111 (n=20 (37%), Larson et al, 1998), E2993 (n=13 (24%), Goldstone et al, 2008), C10403 (n=9 (17%), NLM: NCT00558519), CCG 1941 (n=7 (13%), Gaynon et al, 2006) and Augmented Hyper-CVAD (n=5 (9%), Faderl et al,2011). Six (11%), 20 (37%), and 53 (98%) patients experienced pancreatic, lipid (hypertriglyceridemia) and hepatic adverse events, respectively. In this group, CTCAE grade 3/4 AEs occurred in 0 (0%), 8 (15%), and 28 (52%) patients, respectively. No deaths were directly related to these complications. Patients receiving PEGASP were more likely to experience AE of any CTCAE grade (OR 11.5, 95% CI 4.4-30.3, p < 0.0001), including grade3/4 AEs (OR 27.9, 95% CI 11.4-68.2, p < 0.0001) in comparison to those receiving LASP. All cases of pancreatitis manifested as biochemical elevation in pancreatic enzymes, and were either grade 1 (n=4, 67%) or grade 2 (n=2, 33%). All patients were managed conservatively. Management of hypertriglyceridemia was heterogeneous across all grades and included observation (n=11, 55%), non-pharmacologic interventions (n=1, 5%), medication management (n=4, 20%) and combined strategies (n=4, 20%). The most common practice was a combination of fibrate derivatives (fenofibrate) and fish oil (n= 5). One patient with a peak triglyceride level of 2285 mg/dL was placed on an insulin/dextrose infusion for 4 days. Hepatic toxicity manifested as CTCAE grade 3/4 transaminitis in 13 (24%) patients, hyperbilirubinemia in 4 (7%) patients and both in 11 (20%) patients. Temporal correlation was used to best distinguish confounding variables including possible hepatoxicity from azole antifungals and other drugs. Management of hepatic toxicity included delay in dosing, subsequent LASP or PEGASP dose reduction and laboratory monitoring until resolution. Overall, deviations in LASP or PEGASP administration were documented in 18 (33%) patients due to metabolic or hepatic AEs. Eight (15%) patients required omission of at least 1 dose, 7 (13%) experienced delays of administration and 7 (13%) needed a dose reduction. Conclusion PEGASP administration resulted in significantly higher AE rates in comparison to LASP and this significance was retained when comparing AEs of CTCAE grade 3 and 4. Given the growing trend of using PEGASP combination chemotherapy in adults with ALL, a detailed analysis looking at the increase in side effects, their consequences (delayed tereatment and dose reductions) and the impact of these factors on disease remission and survival is needed.

Abstract Background The lymphoma proteome is the phenotypic representation of the underlying genetic and epigenetic makeup of each individual patient's tumor. The proteome is rich in druggable targets and offers a unique opportunity for the hematologist to personalize therapy. We developed a deep proteomic profiling method using ion exchange fractionation and tandem mass spectrometry. In this pilot study, we applied this method to detect differentially expressed proteins in anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) cell lines with previously known (ALK-positive) and unknown (ALK-negative) therapeutic targets. We then asked whether integrative informatic analysis of these data could be used to predict drug sensitivity in each of the cell lines. Methods To examine reproducibility of our method, proteins were extracted independently from 4 pellets each of FE-PD (ALK-negative) and Karpas 299 (ALK-positive) ALCL cells, reduced with dithiothreitol, alkylated with iodoacetamide, and digested with trypsin. Resulting peptides were separated into 6 fractions using strong anion exchange (SAX) chromatography. Peptides in each fraction were analyzed via shotgun proteomics on a QExactive mass spectrometer. Peptide mass spectra (MS/MS) were matched against a RefSeq human protein sequence database using MyriMatch software. Reversed sequences were added to the database to measure identification false discovery rates (FDRs). IDPicker filtered the peptide identifications at 2% FDR. Proteins with at least two unique peptide identifications and five MS/MS matches were considered to be present in the sample. Filtered protein identifications and corresponding spectral counts were used as input to QuasiTel software, which was configured to use proteins with at least one spectrum per biological replicate. Proteins that were significantly differentially expressed (quasi p-value < 0.05) with an absolute log2 fold-change of at least 0.5 fold were loaded into the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software, and a master list of drugs and corresponding gene targets was assembled using PharmGKB database and the Drug-Gene Interaction Database (DGID). The resulting drug-gene target list was merged with the differentially expressed protein identifications. Candidate targets were validated by Western blot and candidate drugs were assessed in viability assays. Results The SAX-LC-MS/MS method identified 10,111 proteins from all replicate analyses of FE-PD and Karpas 299 samples, and 93% of the identified proteome was detected in all 4 replicate analyses. The detected proteome was well represented by key transcription factors, phophatases, kinases, translation regulators and transmembrane regulators. There were 1369 proteins differentially expressed between the 2 cell lines, 709 up regulated in Karpas 299 cell line and 673 up regulated in FE-PD. Differentially expressed proteins also showed consistent expression across the biological replicates (Figure 1). Our integrated approach to identify candidate targets and drugs “rediscovered” ALK in Karpas299 and unexpectedly identified relative overexpression of the IL2-IL2RA-STAT5A-STAT5B network in ALK-negative FE-PD cells. Western blot confirmed these findings. As expected, 50-100 nM crizotinib (ALK inhibitor) decreased Karpas 299 viability (p =0.016) but had no effect on FE-PD (Figure 2). In contrast, 50-100 nM of the experimental STAT5 inhibitor 573108 (EMD Millipore) decreased FE-PD viability (p=0.002) but had no effect on Karpas 299 (Figure 2). Conclusion The lymphoma proteome is complex with 10,000 proteins and contains druggable targets that can be reproducibly identified using SAX-LC-MS/MS. These targets vary across samples and integrated informatic analysis can predict target-drug combinations that have efficacy in an experimental model. These data suggest that SAX-LC-MS/MS could be used to personalize treatment regimens in lymphoma patients.

Abstract Introduction L-asparaginase therapy results in systemic depletion of antithrombin (AT) and fibrinogen (FG), resulting in thrombotic (TE) and hemorrhagic events (HE). Prophylactic correction of coagulation disturbances have been inconclusive with regard to cost effectiveness, and specifically cost effectiveness of antithrombin concentrate (ATC) replacement has not been evaluated. (Abbott et al, 2009, Mitchell et al, 2003). Currently, AT repletion is recommended for levels less than 60%. (Stock et al, 2012) Several treatment protocols with distinctly different L-asparaginase (LAS) or pegaspargase (PEG) doses complicate the frequency and intensity of ATC replacement. We carried out this study to evaluate the cost effectiveness of ATC replacement, based on our institutional practice. Methods This single center, retrospective, observational study was approved by the Institutional Review Board and conducted at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Consecutive adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of ALL receiving LAS or PEG between January 2000 and October 2012 were evaluated. Patients with hereditary or acquired thrombophilias or pre-existing TE or HE, were excluded. Per institutional guidelines, ATC was administered if levels were less than 70%. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) single drug historical pricing guide was utilized for 2000-2004. ATC cost beginning January 1, 2005, was derived from the CMS average sales price, reported quarterly. To adjust for price differences due to regimen utilization trends, each dose was also calculated at the final 2012 cost of 3.05/unit. ATC repletion practices and estimated expenditures were compared between regimens. Results Fifty four patients were treated with LAS or PEG containing regimens. Of these, 47 (87%) received ATC. Twenty-eight patients received LASP, 22 received PEGASP and 4 received both. Distribution across protocols was; CALGB 9111 (n=20, Larson et al, 1998), E2993 (n=13, Goldstone et al, 2008), C10403 (n=9, NLM: NCT00558519), CCG 1941 (n=7, Gaynon et al, 2006) and Augmented HyperCVAD (n=5, Faderl et al, 2005). PEG and LAS dosing schemes are outlined in table 1 . LAS doses were converted to PEG upon specific protocol revision or at discontinuation of LAS availability in 2012. Regimens specified a dose cap with the exception of C10403. A total of 399 LAS and PEG doses resulted in 378 instances of ATC repletion. The reimbursement price of ATC in 2000 was estimated at 1.50/unit U.S. dollars (USD) and 3.04/unit USD by the fourth quarter of 2012. The total estimated average sales price was 2,471,745 USD over the study period. C10403 resulted in the highest median number of PEG doses per patient (n = 5) and a median of 17 ATC doses per dose of PEG. This resulted in C10403 being the most expensive regimen with the median expense for ATC replacement being 118,064 USD (chart 1). This conclusion was also seen after comparing different regimens using the most recent 2012 cost estimates. The overall incidence of TE or HE was 17% and equally distributed between regimens (please see accompanying abstract). Conclusions Repletion of ATC in patients receiving asparaginase containing chemotherapy regimens is very expensive and continues to add to costs at many centers, without clear benefit, especially with regards to TE and HE. A prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical trial looking to answer this question is the need of the hour. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
