TPS7575 Background: Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a plasma cell malignancy characterized by the production of amyloidgenic clonal light chains that deposit in various tissues. The addition of daratumumab to bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (Dara-VCD) has improved depth of hematologic and organ responses. However, this approach has not yet demonstrated an overall survival (OS) benefit with short follow-up. Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) consolidation remains safe and is associated with deep and durable hematologic responses with an 83% 2-year progression free survival (PFS) and up to 72% of patients achieving a VGPR or better, comparable to Dara-VCD (79%). In multiple myeloma, ASCT improved PFS even in patients who are MRD negative at the end of standard induction therapy. It is thus reasonable to consider that ASCT might provide similar benefits in AL patients. No randomized data exist to inform the optimal use of ASCT in the era of Dara-VCD. Methods: This randomized phase 3 SWOG led intergroup trial will accrue a total of 143 participants per arm and compare MOD-PFS (major organ deterioration progression free survival: defined as time from randomization to death, cardiac/renal progression, or hematologic progression) between participants receiving an ASCT with those receiving Dara-VCD consolidation following uniform Dara-VCD induction. A median MOD-PFS of 31 months is anticipated in the non-ASCT arm. This study has 90% power and a two-sided significance level of 0.05 to detect a hazard ratio of 0.62 corresponding to a MOD-PFS of 50 months in the ASCT arm. Important additional endpoints include OS, hematological PFS, cardiac and renal responses and progression, MRD negativity both by peripheral blood mass spectrometry and bone marrow next generation flow cytometry, delayed utilization of ASCT, and quality of life.

7541 Background: ABBV-383 is a fully human, B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) × CD3 T-cell–engaging IgG4 bispecific with an effector-silenced Fc region, 2 high-affinity BCMA- and a low-affinity CD3-binding domains. ABBV-383 monotherapy has shown promising activity in patients (pts) with RRMM (Blood 2023;142[suppl 1]:3378). Here, exposure-response (ER) analyses of efficacy and safety endpoints supporting the optimal therapeutic ABBV-383 dose selection are reported in alignment with US FDA’s Project Optimus. Methods: Efficacy (n=218) and safety (n=220) data from the phase 1 study (NCT03933735) escalation cohorts of 0.025 - 120 mg Q3W and expansion cohorts of 20, 40, 60 mg Q3W and 60 mg Q4W including objective response rate (ORR), very good partial response or better (≥VGPR), stringent complete response (sCR)/CR, adverse events (≥G3 and serious), infections (≥G3, overall and serious), cytokine release syndrome (CRS; any-grade, G1, G2, and ≥G2) were modeled. Total(unbound + bound to soluble BCMA) and free (unbound + partially bound to soluble BCMA) Cycle 1 AUCinf, Cmax, and Ctrough and population pharmacokinetic model-derived up to the time of event Cavg and avgCtrough metrics were utilized in the ER analyses (logistic regression; R Version 4.2.2). Relevant pt-specific covariates were tested. Dexamethasone premedication (36 vs 10 mg) was included in CRS models. The ER relationships were utilized to predict the probabilities of efficacy and safety endpoints for relevant doses and thereby, support justification of the optimal therapeutic dose selection. Results: Based on overall assessment, ORR, ≥VGPR, sCR/CR and ≥G3 neutropenia strongly correlated with free Cavg; CRS endpoints (any-grade CRS and G1 only CRS) strongly correlated with Cycle 1 total Cmax (p <0.05). No other endpoints had ER relationships (p >0.05). Only MM type (IgG vs Others) was selected in ≥VGPR and sCR/CR models. ER relationships suggested high response rates of >63% ORR, >53% ≥VGPR, and ≥30% sCR/CR for 40, 60 mg Q3W and 60 mg Q4W. Predictions demonstrated that 20 mg Q3W (<39% ORR and ≥VGPR; <13% sCR/CR) and untested 40 mg Q4W (<60% ORR, <45% ≥VGPR and <23% sCR/CR) provide suboptimal efficacy. The 60 mg Q4W with 36 mg dexamethasone in Cycle1 (limited follow-up and data) was predicted to have ~30% sCR/CR and 31% ≥G3 neutropenia (≈ 40 mg Q3W) and substantially lower any-grade CRS events compared with 40 and 60 mg doses with 10 mg dexamethasone in Cycle 1. Conclusions: While ER analyses indicated promising efficacy and acceptable safety profiles for 40, 60 mg Q3W, and 60 mg Q4W, they support 60 mg Q4W as the optimal ABBV-383 therapeutic dose due to its predicted better therapeutic benefit/risk profile (high response rates, improved/equivalent ≥G3 neutropenia, and lower CRS events) and extended dosing interval. ABBV-383 at 60 mg Q4W will be investigated in the registrational phase 3 trial (NCT06158841) in RRMM.
Correlative biomarker analyses for optimal therapeutic dose determination of ABBV-383, a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) x CD3 bispecific antibody, in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).

7532 Background: ABBV-383 is a BCMA x CD3 bispecific antibody with 2 high-affinity BCMA-binding domains and a low-affinity CD3 engaging arm that has been shown to decrease the negative impact of soluble BCMA (sBCMA) and drive sustained T-cell activation with reduced cytokine release in preclinical models of MM. Here, we describe correlative biomarker results of baseline and longitudinal sBCMA levels and immune profiles in the ongoing first-in-human trial that supports 60 mg Q4W as the optimal therapeutic dose of ABBV-383 monotherapy. Methods: Peripheral blood and serum samples from patients with RRMM enrolled in the phase 1 open-label, dose-expansion study (NCT03933735) who received ABBV-383 at 20, 40, or 60 mg Q3W or 60 mg Q4W were collected at baseline (post-dexamethasone, pre–ABBV-383), on treatment, and at disease progression. Samples were analyzed by flow cytometry for immune cell populations, Luminex for cytokines, and electrochemiluminescence ligand binding for sBCMA. Results: Median sBCMA levels at baseline were highly variable among patients, but did not associate with clinical response (≥ partial response [PR]) to ABBV-383 at the selected optimal dose level of 60 mg Q4W (<PR: 244.7 ng/mL; ≥PR: 52.2 ng/mL; P=0.13). Reduction in sBCMA levels over time associated with clinical response (Cmin at cycle 5: <PR, 244.7 ng/mL; ≥PR, 4.7 ng/mL; P=0.04). ABBV-383 treatment led to a rapid and transient increase of proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α (Cmax within cycle 1: 29, 349.5, 1375, 456.5 pg/mL, respectively), and promoted T-cell redistribution (89% reduction of CD8+ T cells from periphery), activation (1.9-fold increase in CD69+CD8+ T cells), and proliferation (2-fold increase in Ki67+CD8+ T cells) within cycle 1 in 60-mg Q4W-treated patients. The frequency of baseline CD8+ T-cell exhaustion (PD-1/TIM3) did not impact clinical response at the optimal dose level of 60 mg Q4W ABBV-383 (<PR: 3.5%; ≥PR: 3.9%; P=0.9). Peak induction levels of proinflammatory cytokines during cycle 1 correlated with occurrence of cytokine release syndrome (≥G1) as well as clinical response across dose levels. Conclusions: High-avidity BCMA binding coupled to low-affinity T-cell engagement distinguishes the resulting mechanism of action for ABBV-383. Responses to 60 mg Q4W ABBV-383 were independent of baseline sBCMA levels and resulted in rapid and transient proinflammatory cytokine production that promoted robust T-cell redistribution, activation, and proliferation, indicating that the optimal dose of ABBV-383 maximizes its clinical potential as a convenient, safe, and effective therapy for MM.

7531 Background: MM eventually becomes refractory to current treatments, and new therapeutic options with convenient dosing and improved safety are needed to enhance patient (pt) adherence, access, and outcomes. ABBV-383 is a distinctive next-generation BCMA x CD3 bispecific antibody composed of 2 high-affinity BCMA-binding domains, a low-affinity CD3-binding domain designed to reduce cytokine release syndrome (CRS) risk, and a silenced Fc tail for an extended half-life allowing convenient dosing. ABBV-383 monotherapy has shown promising activity in the ongoing first-in-human phase 1 trial in RRMM (Vij et al. Blood 2023;142[suppl 1]:3378). Here, safety and efficacy results are reported that support the RP2D of 60mg Q4W as the optimal therapeutic ABBV-383 monotherapy dose. Methods: This phase 1 open-label, dose-escalation/expansion trial (NCT03933735) enrolled pts with RRMM who received ≥3 prior lines of therapy with exposure to PI, IMiD, and anti-CD38 mAb. ABBV-383 regimens explored in the expansion phase included 60mg Q4W and 40 or 60mg Q3W. A modified dexamethasone premedication schedule and shortened CRS monitoring period were implemented in the 60mg Q4W cohort for cycle 1. IV ABBV-383 was administered as a flat dose with no step-up schedule. Treatment was continued until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity. Primary objectives were to assess safety, tolerability, PK, PD, and determine the RP2D. Efficacy evaluation was a secondary objective. TEAEs were assessed per CTCAE v5.0 and tumor response per IMWG 2016 criteria. Results: As of May 2023, 220 pts received ABBV-383 (median age: 68 yr [35–92]; median prior therapy lines: 5 [3‒23]). Median FU was 4.1 mo (0.8–5.2) at 60mg Q4W (n=21), 12.2 mo (1.3–34.4) at 40mg Q3W (n=55), and 24.2 mo (0.6–33.4) at 60mg Q3W (n=61). At 60mg Q4W, with the modified premedication regimen, CRS was reported in 43% of pts (38% G1, 5% G2), and ICANS in 5% of pts (G2). In Q3W cohorts, CRS was reported in 71% (40mg; 45% G1, 25% G2) and 70% (60mg; 51% G1, 18% G2, 2% G3) of pts. The incidence of G3/4 neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia was 14/24/10% at 60mg Q4W, 31/31/16% at 40mg Q3W, and 34/13/13% at 60mg Q3W. G3/4 infections occurred in 10/24/34% of pts at 60mg Q4W, 40mg and 60mg Q3W, respectively. ORR and ≥VGPR were 65/50% at 60mg Q4W, 64/53% at 40mg Q3W, and 60/52% at 60mg Q3W. Corresponding exposure-response (ER) analyses and correlative analyses further supported RP2D determination (separate abstract submissions). Conclusions: The optimal therapeutic dose of 60mg Q4W ABBV-383 monotherapy was selected on the basis of safety, efficacy, and ER analyses. The extended interval of Q4W, with a shortened CRS monitoring period in cycle 1 and no step-up dosing, will improve convenience and reduce the treatment burden for pts. ABBV-383 at 60mg Q4W will be investigated in the registrational phase 3 trial (NCT06158841) in RRMM. Clinical trial information: NCT03933735 .

Summary Chimeric antigen receptor T‐cell (CAR‐T) therapy and bispecific T‐cell engagers (BsAb) have emerged as promising immunotherapeutic modalities in patients with relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). However, there is limited data on the safety and efficacy of CAR‐T and BsAb therapies in MM patients with a prior history of allogeneic transplantation (allo‐HCT). Thirty‐three MM patients with prior allo‐HCT received CAR‐T ( n = 24) or BsAb ( n = 9) therapy. CAR‐T therapy demonstrated an ORR of 92% (67% ≥ CR), and 73% were MRD negative. BsAb therapy resulted in an ORR of 44% (44% ≥ CR) and 44% MRD negative. Safety analysis showed grade ≥3 AEs in 92% of CAR‐T and 56% of BsAb patients. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) occurred in 83% of CAR‐T and 78% of BsAb recipients, while immune effector cell‐associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) was observed in three CAR‐T patients. Infections of grade ≥3 were reported in 50% of CAR‐T and 44% of BsAb recipients. No exacerbation of graft‐versus‐host disease occurred except in one BsAb recipient. CAR‐T and BsAb therapies appear to be feasible, safe and provide deep and durable responses in MM patients with prior allo‐HCT.
Pharmacokinetics and Immunogenicity of Abbv-383, a B-Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA) × CD3 Bispecific T-Cell-Redirecting Antibody, in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma (RRMM)

Blood | December 2, 2023 | Volume: 142 | Issue: Supplement 1 | Pages: 6722-6722

Introduction ABBV-383 is a fully human, silenced Fc region IgG4 monoclonal, BCMA × CD3 T-cell-engaging bispecific antibody with 2 BCMA-binding domains and a low-affinity CD3-binding domain. ABBV-383 has shown promising activity following intravenous (IV) infusion every three weeks (Q3W) as monotherapy in patients (pts) with RRMM in an ongoing phase 1 study (D'Souza A, et al. J Clin Oncol. 2022 Nov 1;40(31):3576-3586; Voorhees et al. Blood 2022;140[suppl 1]:4401). Herein, preliminary pharmacokinetic (PK) and immunogenicity results from Q3W regimens of this study and impact of soluble BCMA (sBCMA) on ABBV-383 PK are reported. Methods In the phase 1 study (NCT03933735), adult pts with RRMM, who were previously exposed to ≥3 prior multiple myeloma agents including ≥1 proteasome inhibitor, immunomodulatory drug, and anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, received Q3W IV infusion at doses 0.025 - 120 mg in escalation (ESC) phase, and at 20 mg, 40 mg, and 60 mg in expansion (EXP) phase. Serial blood samples for PK characterization were collected in cycles 1, 3, and 6 along with sparse/periodic samples throughout the study. Blood samples were also collected throughout the study to detect anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) for immunogenicity characterization and to determine sBCMA concentrations. Appropriate validated assays were used to determine ‘total’ (unbound and bound to sBCMA) and ‘free’ (unbound and partially bound to sBCMA) ABBV-383 serum concentrations, to detect/determine ADAs/titers, and to determine total sBCMA concentrations. ‘Total’ and ‘free’ ABBV-383 serum concentrations from cycles 1, 3, and 6 were used to calculate individual PK parameters (peak concentration [C max], trough concentration [C trough], area under the concentration-time curve [AUC], terminal phase elimination half-life [t 1/2], clearance [CL], and steady state volume of distribution [V ss]) using non-compartmental analysis in Phoenix WinNonlin Version 8.2. Immunogenicity was summarized using ADA/titer data. Impact of baseline/pre-dose sBCMA concentrations on ‘total’ and ‘free’ ABBV-383 PK parameters from cycles 1, 3, and 6 was explored. Results ‘Total’ and ‘free’ ABBV-383 intensive PK data (cycles 1, 3, and 6) were available from 169 and 157 pts, respectively, representing Q3W regimens in ESC and EXP cohorts and ADA data were available from 186 evaluable subjects. Preliminary PK results suggest that ‘total’ and ‘free’ ABBV-383 exhibited approximately dose-proportional PK between 5.4-120 mg Q3W. Estimated t 1/2 for ‘total’ and ‘free’ ABBV-383 ranged between 11-12 days and 8-11 days, respectively, with steady state achieved by cycle 4 in Q3W EXP cohorts. Estimated CL and V ss were consistent with those of a typical IgG4 antibody in humans. Across EXP Q3W regimens, accumulation (cycle 3 vs. cycle 1) was 30%-60% in C max and 60%-177% in C trough for ‘free’ and ‘total’ ABBV-383. ABBV-383 exposures (AUC tau and C trough) of ‘total’ ABBV-383 were 28-74% higher than those representing ‘free’ ABBV-383 among the EXP Q3W regimens with no/minimal observed differences in C max (≤21%). Higher sBCMA levels prior to treatment appeared to reduce ‘free’ ABBV-383 PK exposures with pronounced reduction at lower doses (e.g., 20 mg) and in cycle 1, however the effect diminished in later cycles (cycles 3 and 5). Preliminary assessment of immunogenicity indicated an ADA incidence of 3.8% (7/186) with low titers ranging between 11.7 and 187 titer units and no impact on PK. Conclusions ABBV-383 exhibited a PK profile with relatively long half-life and low incidence of immunogenicity. Overall, sBCMA impacted (reduced) the ‘free’ ABBV-383 (pharmacologically active component) PK exposures only, with pronounced effect at lower doses and the effect is consistent with understanding of treatment dependent sBCMA dynamics over time. Determination of both ‘total’ and ‘free’ ABBV-383 serum concentrations allowed to demonstrate such underlying impact of sBCMA on PK.
Updated Safety and Efficacy Results of Abbv-383, a BCMA x CD3 Bispecific T-Cell Redirecting Antibody, in a First-in-Human Phase 1 Study in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma

Blood | December 1, 2023 | Volume: 142 | Issue: Supplement 1 | Pages: 3378-3378

10.1182/blood-2023-182388

Background ABBV-383 is an off-the-shelf, fully human B-cell maturation antigen (BMCA) X CD3 bispecific antibody with bivalent BCMA domain and low CD3 affinity that targets both BCMA-expressing multiple myeloma (MM) cells and CD3-expressing T cells. ABBV-383 has shown promising activity in an ongoing phase 1 study in patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory (RR) MM ( Voorhees et al. ASH 2022; Weisel et al. EHA 2023). Here, we report the safety and efficacy results from the ABBV-383 IV Q3W at 20 mg, 40 mg and 60 mg dose levels. Methods The phase 1 dose escalation (ESC) and expansion (EXP) study (NCT03933735) of ABBV-383 enrolled pts with RRMM with ≥3 prior lines of therapy (LOT), including a PI, IMiD, and an anti-CD38 mAb with no prior BCMA exposure. After exploring 14 dose levels in dose ESC, 3 dose levels were further explored in dose EXP including ABBV-383 Q3W IV 20 mg, 40 mg, and 60 mg, until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity. The primary objectives were to determine safety/tolerability, PK/PD, and RP2D. The secondary objective was to evaluate clinical activity. Responses were investigator assessed per IMWG 2016 criteria and adverse events (AEs) by CTCAE v5.0. Results As of 17May2023, 220 pts were treated with ABBV-383, 73 pts in the dose ESC and 147 in the dose EXP with 32 pts at 20 mg, 55 pts at 40 mg, and 61 pts at 60 mg Q3W. Median duration of follow up was 7.1 (0.8-36.9), 12.2 (1.3-34.4) and 24.2 (0.6-33.4) months (mo) in the 20 mg, 40 mg and 60 mg dose levels with 25%, 36% and 21% pts continuing treatment (tx), respectively. Median age for all pts was 68 yrs (range, 35-92 yrs), Median prior LOT was 5 (range, 3-23), and 80% were triple-class refractory. Baseline characteristics are summarized in Table 1 by dose level. Treatment-emergent (TE) AEs were reported in 97% (78% ≥G3) of pts at 20 mg, 100% (84% ≥G3) of pts at 40 mg, and 100% (82% ≥G3) of pts at 60 mg. CRS, the most common TEAE, occurred in 50% (34% G1/13% G2/3% G3) of pts at 20 mg, 71%(45% G1/25% G2/0% ≥G3) of pts at 40 mg, and 70%(51% G1/18% G2/2% G3) of pts at 60mg. At the 3 dose levels, CRS occurring after the first dose had median time to onset of 1 day (range, 1-2) and median duration was 2 days (range, 1-10). ICANS occurred in 3% (3% G1/0% ≥G2) of pts at 20 mg, 5% (2 % G1/4% G2/0% ≥G3) of pts at 40 mg, and 5% (3% G2/2% G3) of pts at 60 mg. No G4/5 CRS or ICANS occurred. Infections occurred in 56% (25% ≥G3) of pts at 20 mg, 71% (26% ≥G3) of pts at 40 mg, and 57% (34% ≥G3) of pts at 60 mg; most frequently (≥10%) reported were upper respiratory tract infections (15%, G3/4 1%), pneumonia (14%, G3/4 12%), urinary tract infections (12%, G3/4 3%), and COVID-19 (11%, G3/4 1%). At 20 mg, 40 mg, and 60 mg, the incidence of neutropenia was 41% (25% ≥G3), 42% (31% ≥G3), and 43% (34% ≥G3); anemia 50% (25% ≥G3), 55% (31% ≥G3), and 38% (13% ≥G3); thrombocytopenia 44% (28% ≥G3), 36% (16% ≥G3) and 26% (13% ≥G3), respectively. The tx discontinuation due to AEs was 6%, 11%, 10% in 20 mg, 40 mg and 60 mg, respectively, with no single PT reported in &gt;2 pts. Clinical responses are shown in Figure 1. The median time to ≥VGPR was 0.7mo (0.7-5.8) at 20 mg, 1.0mo (0.7-10.4) at 40 mg, and 1.4 mo (0.7-7.8) at 60 mg. The median DOR was 9.7 mo (3.5-not reached (NR)) at 20 mg, and NR at 40 mg and 60 mg. The Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates for DOR at 12 mo was 42% at 20 mg, 70% at 40 mg, 66% at 60 mg. The mPFS was 3.8 mo (2.4-7.9) at 20mg, 13.7mo (5.0-NR) at 40 mg, and 11.2 mo (4.8-NR) at 60 mg. The KM estimates for PFS at 12 mo was 19% at 20 mg, 51% at 40 mg, 49% at 60 mg. The median OS was 21.6 mo (7.9-NR) at 20 mg, and NR at 40 mg and 60 mg. ABBV-383 at 20 mg, 40 mg, and 60 mg led to rapid and transient production of key proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL8, IFN-γ, and TNF-α), and reduction of soluble BCMA levels over time that were associated with disease response. ABBV-383 also promoted T-cell activation and proliferation with upregulation of CD69 and KI67 markers on peripheral CD4 and CD8 T cells in evaluable pts. Conclusions ABBV-383 showed a manageable safety profile at dosages of 20 mg, 40 mg, and 60 mg IV Q3W, with low incidence of TEAEs leading to discontinuation. Also, extended Q3W dosing interval with no step-up dosing schedule of ABBV-383 may provide enhanced convenience. However, 20 mg yielded numerically lower responses when compared to 40 mg and 60 mg. At 40 mg and 60 mg, ABBV-383 monotherapy yielded deep and durable responses with mPFS of 13.7 mo and 11.2 mo, and 12-month DOR of 70% and 66% (mDOR NR in pts with ≥CR), respectively. These results in heavily pretreated RRMM pts support further clinical evaluation.
Factors Affecting Health-Related Quality of Life Among Individuals with Histiocytic Neoplasms

Blood | December 1, 2023 | Volume: 142 | Issue: Supplement 1 | Pages: 6394-6394

10.1182/blood-2023-178372

Purpose: Advances in targeted therapeutics for histiocytic neoplasms have led to a growing survivor population, especially for Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD), Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), and Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD). This growing population is at risk of adverse health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as a result of the disease or treatments received. Patient-reported outcomes in this population remain understudied, and we aim to define their HRQoL using a validated tool. Methods: We enrolled patients from 2 histiocytosis centers and an international conference from Aug 2022-April 2023 to complete the PROMIS © (Patient-Reported Outcomes [PROs] Measurement Information System) 29+2 profile v2.1, which captures 8 domains of physical/mental health and functioning. Domains are reported as T-scores, with 50 being the general population mean. We calculated summary T-scores for Physical Health (PH) and Mental Health (MH), and differences of 3 from general population were considered clinically meaningful. We then used these T-scores to calculate each patient's PROMIS-Preference (PROPr) score, which is a health-utility score that measures overall HRQoL. A mean PROPr score difference of 0.4 from the US population mean of 0.52 was considered meaningful. We ran independent-samples t-tests to examine differences in PH/MH summary scores and PROPr between sub-cohorts. Finally, we performed a multinomial logistic regression analysis to identify factors associated with worse scores, and calculated odds ratios (OR) for each factor. Results: We included a total of 77 participants. Specific diagnoses included ECD (n=33, 42.9%), LCH (n=21, 27.3%), RDD (n=19, 24.7%), and other/unknown (n=4, 5.2%). Median age at diagnosis was 50y (9-79) and at survey was 54y (18-82), with a median 4 year difference between diagnosis and survey completion. Racial demographics included white (n=64, 83.1%), Black (n=12, 15.6%), and Asian (n=1, 1.3%). 4 patients (5.2%) identified as having a Hispanic ethnicity. Disease extent included unifocal (n=13, 16.9%), single system multifocal (ss-M, n=8, 10.4%), single system lung LCH (ss-L, n=3, 3.9%), or multisystem (n=53, 68.8%) disease. The most commonly involved organs included bone (n=44, 57.1%), kidney (n=24, 31.2%), skin (n=24, 31.2%), CNS (n=24, 31.2%), and pituitary (n=19, 24.7%). PH and MH summary scores were lower in various diagnostic categories as compared with the US population, and PROPr scores were reduced in all diagnostic categories. Bone involvement was associated with worse PH (-6.16, 95%CI -10.81, -1.52, [p=0.005]), MH (-7.96, 95%CI -12.48, -3.44, [p=&lt;0.001]), and PROPr (-0.184, 95%CI -0.313, -0.056, [p=0.003]) scores. CNS involvement was associated with worse PH (-4.78, 95%CI -9.14, -0.42, [p=0.016]). We initially constructed a multinomial regression model using diagnosis, race, age at survey completion, and CNS and bone involvement. This model was not statistically significant, and in particular, diagnosis and age did not significantly contribute to the model. We then removed diagnosis and age and constructed a new model using the remaining variables, which was statistically significant for all 3 scores (p&lt;0.05). We found that factors associated with worse PH score were disease involvement of bone (OR=6.19, 95%CI 1.88, 20.43 [p=0.003]) and CNS (OR=10.36, 95%CI 2.01, 53.39 [p=0.005] Figure 2). Factors associated with worse MH scores included female sex (OR=4.12, 95%CI 1.24, 13.66 [p=0.021]) and CNS involvement (OR=10.74, 95%CI 2.47, 46.79 [p=0.002]). Having race/ethnic group other than white/Non-Hispanic or Black was associated with improved MH. However, as this group had only 4 members, the significance of this is uncertain. Finally, CNS involvement was found to be associated with worse odds of having a low PROPr score (OR=10.46, 95%CI 2.17, 50.37 [p=0.003]). Conclusions: Several PROs were worse in patients with histiocytic neoplasms as compared with the general population. We further found that CNS involvement was independently associated with worse HRQoL, regardless of the diagnosis type. Additionally, female sex was associated with worse MH scores, and bone involvement with worse PH scores. PROPr score was particularly low among patients with ECD. Future research is warranted to assess the impact of treatments on HRQoL, as well as the economic loss resulting from loss of productivity as highlighted by low PROPr scores.
