Abstract HLA-haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (Haplo-HCT) using posttransplantation cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) has improved donor availability. However, a matched sibling donor (MSD) is still considered the optimal donor. Using the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database, we compared outcomes after Haplo-HCT vs MSD in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first complete remission (CR1). Data from 1205 adult CR1 AML patients (2008-2015) were analyzed. A total of 336 patients underwent PT-Cy–based Haplo-HCT and 869 underwent MSD using calcineurin inhibitor–based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. The Haplo-HCT group included more reduced-intensity conditioning (65% vs 30%) and bone marrow grafts (62% vs 7%), consistent with current practice. In multivariable analysis, Haplo-HCT and MSD groups were not different with regard to overall survival (P = .15), leukemia-free survival (P = .50), nonrelapse mortality (P = .16), relapse (P = .90), or grade II-IV acute GVHD (P = .98). However, the Haplo-HCT group had a significantly lower rate of chronic GVHD (hazard ratio, 0.38; 95% confidence interval, 0.30-0.48; P < .001). Results of subgroup analyses by conditioning intensity and graft source suggested that the reduced incidence of chronic GVHD in Haplo-HCT is not limited to a specific graft source or conditioning intensity. Center effect and minimal residual disease–donor type interaction were not predictors of outcome. Our results indicate a lower rate of chronic GVHD after PT-Cy–based Haplo-HCT vs MSD using calcineurin inhibitor–based GVHD prophylaxis, but similar other outcomes, in patients with AML in CR1. Haplo-HCT is a viable alternative to MSD in these patients.

e16508 Background: BM in patients (pts) with CRPC correlate with higher mortality and costs. BRI zoledronic acid and denosumab are frequently used for the prevention of skeletal-related events (SRE) in pts with CRPC and BM. AA is the most common 1st line treatment for men with metastatic CRPC. We sought to evaluate the impact of BRI on time to first SRE (ttSRE) and OS of pts receiving 1st line therapy AA for CRPC with BM. Methods: We identified a cohort of men starting AA as 1st line therapy for CRPC with BM between 2013-2015 from 7 hospitals’ IRB approved registries. Pts were grouped by use of concomitant BRI and subgrouped by volume of disease (per E3805 definition) at AA start. The endpoints were OS, defined as time from AA start to death or last follow-up visit, and ttSRE. Results: Of the 338 pts included, 256 (76%) received AA alone and 82 (24%) AA+BRI. ECOG PS (PS) was ≥1 for 178 pts (52.7%). No statistically significant difference in ttSRE was found between the 2 cohorts [see Table]. Median follow-up for OS was 25.6 months. Pts receiving concomitant BRI showed a significantly longer OS and a 36% decreased risk of death compared to AA alone (HR = 0.64; 95% CI, 0.64 0.46-0.91; p = 0.012). Notably, OS in the AA alone group was shorter than commonly described. The OS benefit with BRI was greater for men with high volume disease (HV) (HR = 0.42; 95% CI, 0.25-0.71; p = 0.001). On MVA, BRI vs. no BRI, low volume of disease vs. HV, PS 0 vs. ≥1, baseline VAS pain ≤3 vs. > 5, and baseline PSA are independently associated with longer OS. Conclusions: Using a multicenter database, the addition of BRI to 1st line AA for CRPC men with BM and poor prognostic factors did not improve prevention of SRE. However, concomitant use of BRI and AA was associated with a significantly improved OS, particularly in HV. Further research to determine the driving factors is needed. [Table: see text]

e14132 Background: The use of PD-1 inhibitors (PD1) has been limited due to the lack of prognostic markers of response. Previous studies have suggested that indirect inflammatory markers such as neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) may correlate with response to treatment and improved survival. We sought to evaluate the impact NLR and PLR in a real world cohort of patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors treated with PD1. Methods: Records of all pts treated with PD1 between 2011-2017 at the John Theurer Cancer Center were reviewed. NLR and PLR were registered at baseline and longitudinally. We dichotomized as low (lNLR/lPLR), and high (hNLR ≥5/hPLR ≥160). Univariate logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards were used for progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Landmark analyses were performed at cycles 2 (C2), and 5 (C5). Results: 178 pts received 1131 cycles of PD1. Median age was 65 (range 24-93); 43% were female. ECOG was ≥1 for 85%. 142 pts (80%), and 89 (50%) received ≥2C and ≥5C respectively. In univariate analyses, baseline hNLR and hPLR were independently associated with inferior OS (median 7.8 vs 18.3 months; HR 1.77, 95% CI 1.21-2.43; p = 0.004), ) and (median 6.4 vs 15.6 months; HR 1.42, 95% CI 1.09-2; p = 0.04) respectively. On landmark analyses, lNLR and lPLR were associated with longer PFS and OS at 2C, and 5C. Longitudinally, lNLR and lPLR correlated with response rate; NLR decreased by 0.08 (95% CI: -0.19 to -0.04; p = 0.03) and PLR by 17 (95% CI: -29 to -14; p = 0.07) per month in responders compared with non-responders. hNLR or hPLR did not correlate with increase in autoimmune toxicities. Conclusions: hNLR, hPLR are adversely prognostic markers in pts receiving PD1 inhibitors in a “real world cohort”. These markers correlate with a longitudinal response and may help predict response. Further prospective studies are needed to determine their utility in decision making during treatment.
