Evaluation of the study of control arms in randomized clinical trials of cancer.

Journal of Clinical Oncology | June 3, 2024 | Volume: 42 | Issue: 16_suppl | Pages: 11023-11023

11023 Background: Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in cancer typically compare experimental to control arm regimens. The choice of an appropriate control (ctrl) arm can have a major impact on the expected success of an RCT. The frequency with which cancer RCTs use control arms based on established dosing and scheduling protocols has not been described. Methods: The HemOnc knowledgebase (KB) was used to identify systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) regimen variants, defined as regimens with identical components that differ in dosing, scheduling, and/or route. Non-cancer, nonrandomized, and non-SACT studies were excluded. Study publication year was used to define standard variants as those evaluated in the experimental arm of a positive phase 3 RCT >1 year prior to publication as a control arm, regardless of cancer type or context of treatment. Study-variant dyads were evaluated to determine whether the variant was standard. Success rates of RCTs with standard vs non-standard control arms were evaluated with Fisher’s exact test. Results: 5221 studies were associated with ≥1 named variant in the HemOnc KB, as of 2024-02-06. After exclusions, there were 3511 study-variant dyads (2386 studies; 1714 variants). The 9 most common regimens are shown in the Table. The median (IQR) number of variants per regimen was 2 (1-3); carboplatin & paclitaxel (CP) had the most variants (n=33). Across all control arm study-variant dyads, 2228/3492 (64%) utilized non-standard variants. For example, 60/97 studies (62%) of docetaxel as control used the 75 mg/m2 q3wk variant after it was established in 2000, whereas n=27 others used 19 non-standard variants. Trials that used a standard control arm had a numerically higher success rate, 45% vs 42% (OR 1.10, 95% CI 0.92-1.32). Conclusions: Non-standard regimen variants are frequently used in cancer RCTs. Reasons for this could include toxicity, patient convenience, or emerging data from smaller studies that establish comparable efficacy or improved toxicity to standard variants. However, the a priori efficacy of non-standard control arms is less rigorously established, and trials with standard control arms might be more successful. Future directions include quantifying the granular differences between standard and non-standard variants and investigating whether certain types of non-standard variation (e.g. fewer cycles, lower doses) associate with trial success rates.

Mixed histiocytic neoplasms: A multicentre series revealing diverse somatic mutations and responses to targeted therapy

British Journal of Haematology | April 13, 2024 | Volume: 205 | Issue: 1 | Pages: 127-137

Summary Histiocytic neoplasms are diverse clonal haematopoietic disorders, and clinical disease is mediated by tumorous infiltration as well as uncontrolled systemic inflammation. Individual subtypes include Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), Rosai–Dorfman–Destombes disease (RDD) and Erdheim–Chester disease (ECD), and these have been characterized with respect to clinical phenotypes, driver mutations and treatment paradigms. Less is known about patients with mixed histiocytic neoplasms (MXH), that is two or more coexisting disorders. This international collaboration examined patients with biopsy‐proven MXH with respect to component disease subtypes, oncogenic driver mutations and responses to conventional (chemotherapeutic or immunosuppressive) versus targeted (BRAF or MEK inhibitor) therapies. Twenty‐seven patients were studied with ECD/LCH (19/27), ECD/RDD (6/27), RDD/LCH (1/27) and ECD/RDD/LCH (1/27). Mutations previously undescribed in MXH were identified, including KRAS, MAP2K2, MAPK3, non‐V600‐BRAF, RAF1 and a BICD2‐BRAF fusion. A repeated‐measure generalized estimating equation demonstrated that targeted treatment was statistically significantly (1) more likely to result in a complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) (odds ratio [OR]: 17.34, 95% CI: 2.19–137.00, p = 0.007), and (2) less likely to result in progression (OR: 0.08, 95% CI: 0.03–0.23, p < 0.0001). Histiocytic neoplasms represent an entity with underappreciated clinical and molecular diversity, poor responsiveness to conventional therapy and exquisite sensitivity to targeted therapy.

Clinical characteristics, molecular aberrations, treatments, and outcomes of malignant histiocytosis

American Journal of Hematology | February 27, 2024 | Volume: 99 | Issue: 5 | Pages: 871-879

AbstractMalignant histiocytosis (MH) is an extremely rare neoplasm of the macrophage–dendritic cell lineage. We report the clinical characteristics, molecular aberrations, treatments, and outcomes of patients with MH seen at two referral centers from January 2000 to May 2023. We identified 43 patients with MH, of which 26 had histiocytic sarcoma (MH‐H), 9 interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (MH‐IDC), and 8 Langerhans cell sarcoma (MH‐LC). The median age at diagnosis was 61 years (range, 3–83). Thirty‐three patients (77%) had multifocal disease, while 10 had unifocal involvement. Tumor specimens from 22 patients (51%) underwent targeted next generation sequencing, and 19 of 22 (86%) had at least one pathogenic mutation, including mutations in MAPK pathway genes (73%). The median overall survival (OS) among the entire cohort was 16 months (95% CI: 8–50). The outcomes of those with multifocal disease were significantly shorter than their unifocal counterpart: median OS of 10 months versus 50 months (p = .07). Patients with risk organ involvement (bone marrow, spleen, or liver) had significantly inferior outcomes. Chemotherapy and surgery were the most common first‐line treatments for multifocal and unifocal disease, respectively. While the outcome for patients with multifocal disease was poor, there was a subset of patients who had durable responses to treatment. Our study highlights that MH has heterogeneous clinical presentation, frequent oncogenic mutations, and prognosis, which is strongly tied to disease extent and type of organ involvement.

Molecular Findings on Plasma Cell-Free DNA Analysis Among Adults with Histiocytic Neoplasms

Blood | December 2, 2023 | Volume: 142 | Issue: Supplement 1 | Pages: 6332-6332

Introduction The discovery of MAPK/ERK pathway mutations has revolutionized the care for patients with histiocytic neoplasms. However, mutational analysis on biopsy specimens is often limited by low tumor cellularity leading to testing failure or disease involvement of difficult-to-reach sites (e.g., central nervous system). Recently, molecular analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has shown promise as a viable tool for discovering driver mutations in multiple cancers. A recent study of mainly BRAF-mutated non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) showed 50% concordance between tumor and plasma cfDNA analysis for BRAF-V600E. However, it is unknown whether cfDNA has a role in the evaluation of cases that harbor mutations beyond BRAF-V600E. We conducted this study to address this unanswered question using a large cohort of individuals with diverse histiocytic neoplasms from a tertiary-care institution. Methods We included 40 cases with histiocytic neoplasms with stored plasma and germline DNA in this study. Tissue molecular analysis was conducted using a targeted next generation sequencing (NGS) using commercial assays or whole exome sequencing (WES) using an in-house assay. A custom panel of 226 genes, including exonic and intronic regions, was used for the cfDNA assay in this study. To avoid cfDNA false positives, germline mutations identified from normal DNA sequencing were filtered using a BostonGene ®-developed error reduction algorithm.The total length of the analyzed genomic regions was 1.56 MB. For samples with an input greater than 30 ng, a 0.2% variant allele frequency (VAF) limit of detection (LOD) was used; a 0.4% VAF LOD was used for samples less than 30 ng. Results The final analysis cohort included 38 patients with histiocytic neoplasms after exclusion of 2 cases (failure of germline DNA library preparation and mismatch of germline and somatic DNA, respectively). Disease types included Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD; n=13, 34%), Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH; n=13, 34%), and Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD; n=12, 32%). 24 cases were multisystem (63%), and the remaining were single-system. Commonly involved organs included bone (n=25, 66%), kidney (n=12, 32%), skin (n=8, 21%), central nervous system (n=7, 18%), and pituitary (n=7, 18%). Most cases (n=31, 82%) underwent plasma collection pre-treatment, 5 cases underwent collection after histiocytosis-directed therapy, and 2 while on treatment. Tissue NGS/WES data were available for 28 (74%) cases; 5 cases (13%) had insufficient tissue cellularity, and 5 (13%) did not undergo any tissue sequencing. Among those who underwent successful tissue sequencing assays, the most common common driver alterations was BRAF V600E (n=5, 26%). Other alterations included those in MAP2K1 (n=4, 21%), BRAF-fusions (n=3, 10%; partners UBDT2, RNF11, and LMTK2, respectively), and single cases of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF indel, respectively. cfDNA analysis showed at least one variant in 23 cases (60%). Correlation between tissue and cfDNA for known driver mutations was poor and concordant findings were only seen in one case with ECD harboring BRAF V600E in tissue as well as plasma (VAF 0.5%). Among the 5 cases where tissue mutational analysis had failed, cfDNA showed mutations in MUTYH, PTCH2, NOTCH3 SDHD, and TMEM127, respectively (Figure 1). Among the 5 cases where tissue molecular assessment could not be undertaken due to various reasons, cfDNA showed alterations in 4 cases, encompassing NOTCH1, TET2, BRCA1, MSH6, PIK3CD, and FUS genes. Conclusions In a large cohort of adults with diverse histiocytic neoplasms, we found poor correlation between tumor and plasma cfDNA molecular findings. The reason for the lack of correlation may be related to low tumor shedding especially among non- BRAF V600E cases. cfDNA analysis may have a role to identify potential drivers of pathogenesis among cases that are unable to successfully undergo tissue molecular analysis. Further studies are underway to characterize other novel alterations that were discovered in the cfDNA analysis.
Outcomes with MEK Inhibitor Therapy Among Adults with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH): A Multi-Institutional Study from the Adult LCH Working Group for the Histiocyte Society

Blood | December 1, 2023 | Volume: 142 | Issue: Supplement 1 | Pages: 4559-4559

Purpose: The discovery of MAPK/ERK pathway mutations has led to the approval of MEK-inhibitor (MEKi) cobimetinib in histiocytic neoplasms. However, the pivotal clinical trial that led to the approval of cobimetinib included only 4 patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). Therefore, there is a need to define outcomes with MEKi therapy in patients with LCH. We undertook a multi-center collaboration through the Adult LCH Working Group for the Histiocyte Society to address this gap in knowledge. Methods: Adults with LCH who received MEKi therapy were included from five institutions. Objective response rate (ORR) was evaluated using PET/CT criteria, and CT/MRI if PET scan was not available; response categories were categorized into complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD). Progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated from the time of targeted therapy initiation. Risk organ disease was defined as liver, spleen, or bone marrow involvement. Results: 25 adults with LCH were included in this study; median age at MEKi initiation 43y (range, 18-85). Most common systems involved at diagnosis were bone (52%), pituitary (44%), and lung (36%). Risk organ involvement was observed in 7 (28%, 6 liver, 1 liver and spleen) and 2 (8%) patients had intra-axial CNS involvement. Median lines of prior therapy received were 2 (range: 1-5), and 4 (16%) patients received MEKi in first-line. MAPK/ERK pathway status was assessed via target capture next generation sequencing (NGS) in 22 (96%) cases. Amongst those who underwent NGS, alterations identified included: BRAF V600E (2/22, 9%), BRAF deletions (11/22 50%), MAP2K1 or MEK mutations (4/22, 18%), and MAPK1 or ERK2 (n=1, 5%). Overall, 5 patients also received BRAF inhibitors (4 patients as first therapy prior to MEKi and 1 concomitantly due to BRAF V600E positive melanoma). Specific MEKi agents utilized included cobimetinib (n=13) and trametinib (n=12). Among the response evaluable patients (n=23), ORR to MEKi treatment was 78% (9 CR, 9 PR, 4 SD, 1 PD). Among the 7 patients with liver involvement, responses were seen in 2 (29%) cases. ORR did not significantly differ according to mutation status among those with NGS data (78% MAPK mutated vs. 100% unmutated; p=1.0). In this subcohort, all of the 4 cases that did not respond to MEKi had liver involvement; 3 had BRAF deletions (2 SD and 1 PD), and one had MAPK1 mutation (SD). Median follow-up duration after MEKi initiation in the entire cohort was 18 months (95% CI 6 - 30). The median PFS and OS were not reached; 2-year PFS and OS were 78.1% and 79.9%, respectively (Figure 1A). The median PFS was much shorter in those with liver involvement (7 months [95% CI 0 - 14]) compared with those without liver disease (not reached [95% CI 19-not reached] P=0.047; Figure 1B). PFS did not differ significantly between MAPK pathway mutated and unmutated patients (p=0.34) Adverse events (AEs) were reported in 36% (n=9) and most commonly included rash (n=5) and fatigue (n=3). Four patients experienced grade 3-4 AEs including rash, fatigue, and thrombocytopenia. Common causes of MEKi discontinuation included AEs (n=3), progression (n=2), and drug holiday (n=2). At last follow-up, 5 patients died and 18 remained on MEKi. Death was attributable to LCH (n=3), concomitant malignancy (n=1), or unknown causes (n=1). Conclusions: In our multi-institutional study of adults with LCH, we found MEKi therapy to be highly efficacious. However, liver involvement correlated with a lack of response and worse PFS, while mutational status did not. Future studies are needed to evaluate optimum treatment for high-risk subgroups of LCH like liver disease.

Blood | December 1, 2023 | Volume: 142 | Issue: Supplement 1 | Pages: 4569-4569

10.1182/blood-2023-180322

Purpose: The understanding of cardiac-involved ECD (ECD-CV) and how this affects outcomes and pre-existing diseases remains limited. We aimed to determine the association, burden, and severity of pre-existing and de novo cardiovascular (CV) comorbidities with ECD-CV compared to patients (pts) without cardiac-involved ECD (ECD-noCV). Methods: Records of pts with ECD diagnosed from Jan-1990 to Dec-2021, consecutively seen at Mayo Clinic, AZ, FL, and MN were reviewed. Cardiac involvement was diagnosed by imaging. CV comorbidities were captured before and after ECD diagnosis. CTCAE v3.0 based grading system was used to assess CV comorbidities which graded the conditions as mild (grade 1), moderate (grade 2), severe (grade 3), and life-threatening or disabling (grade 4). Chi-square test was used to determine if having ECD-CV worsens pre-existing CV comorbidities in pts with ECD. As per the established methods, the cumulative CV disease burden was defined after considering 8 CV morbidities that are known to have direct structural and functional implications on the heart, including hypertension (HTN), coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction (MI), congestive heart failure (CHF), atrial fibrillation (afib), pericardial effusion, valvular disease, and conduction disorders. A composite CV morbidity grade was assigned based on the highest grade in one of the 8 CV comorbidities (Oeffinger, NEJM, 2006). Lastly, a multivariant analysis was conducted using the presence of BRAFV600E mutation, smoking, age ≥ 60 years (yr), conventional vs targeted therapy, and ECD-CV in pts with a composite grade of 4. Results: Among 106 ECD pts, 38% (n=40) had cardiac involvement. The median age at diagnosis of ECD was 57 yr (range: 49-67); 61% were males. The median follow-up was 5 yr (95% CI: 3.5-6.1), and 4.1 yr (95% CI: 3.2-6.5) for ECD-CV and ECD-noCV pts, respectively p=0.92. The median time of CV diagnoses for the entire cohort before and after ECD diagnosis was 4.8 yr (range: 0.06-42.5) and 3.4 yr (range: 0.05-18.7), respectively. BRAFV600E mutation was present in 65% (n=26) of ECD-CV vs 42% (n=28) of ECD-noCV, p=0.02. Eight pts with ECD-CV died; one from sudden cardiac death, while 9 ECD-noCV pts died, p=0.39. Smoking was present in 43% (n=18) of ECD-CV pts compared to 24% with ECD-noCV (n=16), p=0.05. In comparison to ECD-noCV pts, increased prevalence of pre-existing HTN [59% (n=23) vs 35% (n=23), p=0.016] and MI [10% (n=4) vs 2% (n=1), p=0.046] was seen in ECD-CV. There was no difference in hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, CAD, CHF, valvular disease, afib, and conduction disorders among the two cohorts. After ECD diagnosis, de novo diagnosis of hyperlipidemia [67% (n=26) vs 38% (n=25); p=0.004] and CHF [35% (n=14) vs 7% (n=5); p=&lt;0.001] was seen more frequently in ECD-CV pts compared to ECD-noCV. Following the diagnosis of ECD, the severity of pre-existing conditions did not change in pts with or without ECD-CV. ECD-CV pts had a greater cumulative CV disease burden as the total number of CV morbidities was greater in ECD-CV pts both before and after ECD diagnosis (Table 1). Additionally, pts with ECD-CV had greater severity of CV morbidity (composite grade ≥4) than ECD-noCV before (35% v 3%; p=&lt;0.001) and after (42.5% vs 7.6%; p=&lt;0.001) ECD diagnosis. The composite grade of 4 before ECD diagnosis was most attributable to pericardial effusion (42% in pts with ECD-CV vs 0% in pts with ECD-noCV) and CAD (50% in pts with ECD-CV vs 100% in pts with ECD-noCV); after ECD diagnosis pericardial effusion (42% in pts with ECD-CV vs 0% in pts with ECD-noCV) and CAD (41% in pts with ECD-CV vs 100% in pts with ECD-noCV). After considering BRAFV600E mutation, age ≥60, smoking, ECD-CV, and first-line therapy (conventional vs targeted therapy), ECD-CV was the only factor independently associated with a composite grade of ≥4, before (OR 25.6, 95% CI: 4.8-137) and after (OR 9.7, 95% CI: 3.0-30.8) ECD diagnosis. Nonetheless, smoking, age &gt;60, and ECD-CV were independent factors associated when considered a composite grade of ≥3, before and after ECD diagnosis. Conclusion: ECD-CV did not prognosticate pts and did not worsen the pre-existing CV conditions compared to pts with ECD-noCV. However, ECD-CV pts had a higher cumulative CV disease burden and a higher grade of pre-existing and de novo CV morbidities compared to ECD-noCV. The presence of cardiac involvement in ECD was independently associated with a severe cumulative CV disease burden grade.
Improved Survival of R/R Double Hit/Triple Hit Lymphoma in the Era of CD19 Chimeric Antigen T Cell (CART) Therapy

Introduction: DH/THL also classified as high-grade B cell lymphomas (HGBCL) with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements have higher risk of progression after initial treatment and poor response to salvage therapies compared to diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), NOS. Recently, CART cell therapy has shown encouraging responses in treatment of relapsed refractory (R/R) DLBCL. In this retrospective study, we evaluated whether survival of (R/R) DH/THL is improved in the CART era. Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, adult pts (pts) with R/R DH/THL after anthracycline-based therapy were included. Demographic and clinical variables were obtained from electronic health records. Study objectives was overall survival (OS) at 2 year landmark. We utilized full propensity score matching to compare progression free survival (PFS) and OS of CART with 2 nd line chemoimmunotherapy. Results: 278 DH/THL pts treated between 2010-2020 were included. Median age was 63 years (range 52-74), 163 (58%) were male, 119 (43%) were classified as DLBCL and 116 (42%) as HGBCL; 40 (14%) were transformed from follicular lymphoma. 225 (82%) had advanced stage, 161 (67%) had elevated LDH, 85 (33%) had bulky disease, 74 (59%) had B symptoms. 105 (38%) pts treated for relapsed disease before 2018 were included in the pre-CART era cohort. 168 (60%) pts treated from 2018 onwards were included in the CART era cohort. 102 (60%) pts in CART cell era received CART cells, 40 (14%) received polatuzumab vedotin (pola), 10 (3.5%) received loncastuximab tesirine, tafasitamab and bispecific antibody each. Characteristics at relapse were similar in both groups. Median follow up was 8.9 (0.2-146) months. 2-year OS estimate was 36% (CI 95: 30-42%) in entire population. Patients treated in CART cell era had significantly higher OS (2 yr OS: 43% [CI 95: 35-53]) compared to pts treated in pre-CART cells era (2-year OS: 24% [CI 95: 16-34], p=0.0006) (Figure 1). In multivariable analyses, increasing age (HR = 1.02 (CI 95: 1.01, 1.04), p=0.003), extranodal disease (HR = 1.41 (CI 95: 1.00, 1.99), p&lt;0.001), elevated LDH (HR = 1.57 (CI 95: 1.11, 2.24), p=0.01) were associated with inferior OS. Increasing time to relapse (HR = 0.98 (CI 95: 0.97, 0.99), p&lt;0.001) was associated with superior OS. BCL6 rearrangement did not affect OS. When adjusted for these factors, treatment with CART cells was associated with higher 2 yr OS (HR = 0.33 (CI 95: 0.22, 0.49), p&lt;0.001). Treatment with polatuzumab (HR = 1.07 (CI 95: 0.71, 1.6), p=0.07) was not significantly associated with OS in univariable analysis. 102 pts underwent CART cell therapy at any point for relapse; 94 (93%) were refractory to prior chemotherapy. 62 (60%) responded and 52 (50%) had CR after CART cells. 2-year PFS and OS after CART cell therapy were 28% (CI 95: 19-40) and 40% (CI 95: 30-53), respectively. Increasing time to CART was associated with inferior OS (HR: 1.02 (CI 95: 1.0-1.03, p=0.03) but not PFS (HR: 1.02 (CI 95: 0.99-1.04), p=0.2). 219 (79%) pts received curative intent salvage chemotherapy for 2 nd line. 2-year PFS and OS were 15% (CI 95: 11-20) and 38% (CI 95: 31-45), respectively. 21 pts received CART cell therapy for 2 nd line. 2 year PFS and OS in this small number of pts were 52% (CI 95: 35-79) and 70% (CI 95: 52-94), respectively. Due in part to the small number of pts who received CART cells in 2 nd line, we utilized full propensity score matched analysis to compare each patient in CART cell group to all possible matched controls in salvage chemotherapy group. Variables matched were age, LDH, extra nodal disease and time to relapse. In propensity score matched analysis, pts who received CART cells had significantly higher 2 year PFS (HR: 10.5 (CI 95: 3.4-17.5), p=002) and 2 year OS (HR: 7.5 (CI 95: 1.4-13), p=0.01). Conclusions: Survival of r/r DH/THL appears to have improved in the era of CART cell therapy. About 2/3 of pts refractory to chemotherapy respond to CART cells, and in multivariable analysis, receipt of CART cells was associated with improved OS. Increasing time to CART cells was associated with inferior survival. In a propensity score matched analysis utilizing full matching, CART cell therapy in 2 nd line was associated with significantly higher 2 year PFS and OS compared to curative intent salvage therapy. Other CD 19 and CD 20 targeting agents approved after CART cell therapy might contribute to favorable survival, effect of these agents could not be assessed because of small numbers.
Factors Affecting Health-Related Quality of Life Among Individuals with Histiocytic Neoplasms

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

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.
