Abstract Introduction: Clinical trials of novel salvage therapies (ST) have encouraging outcomes for relapsed/refractory classic Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R cHL) after autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT); yet studies comparing novel ST with conventional salvage chemotherapy are lacking. In a single center cohort, we demonstrated that bendamustine/brentuximab (BBV) had higher overall response rates (ORR) and complete response (CR) rates in ASCT-eligible R/R cHL (Desai et al JCO, 2021). Herein we report comparative outcomes of novel and conventional ST in R/R cHL who undergo ASCT, in a large multicenter retrospective cohort. Methods: Consecutive R/R cHL pts who underwent ASCT at 12 institutions across United States were included. Demographics and clinical variables at relapse including age, sex, B symptoms, stage, bulky disease (BD, single mass > 6 cm) extra nodal disease (END), primary refractory disease (PRD) and early relapse (ER, within 1 year) were recorded by electronic health records review. Study objectives were ORR, CR to first ST, post-ASCT PFS and OS by final ST. Time to event endpoints were defined from date of ASCT. Results: From 12 participating institutions, 853 pts of R/R cHL who underwent ASCT were eligible for this study. Median age was 33 (14-72) years, 457 (54%) were male, 446 (52%) had BD, 257 (30%) had advanced stage, 271 (32%) had END, 369 (43%) had B symptoms, 142 (17%) had PRD and 307 (36%) had ER. All 853 received at least 1 ST, 245 received 2 ST, 71 received 3 ST and 26 received 4 ST. Seven groups of ST were identified: 1. Conventional platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC) group including ICE, DHAP and ESHAP 2. BBV 3. Brentuximab Vedotin and nivolumab (BV/Nivo) 4. BV alone (BV) 5. gemcitabine-based chemotherapy (Gem) 6. checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) and 7. other miscellaneous agents (Misc). 1st ST was as follows: 553 had PBC; 69 had BBV; 48 had BV/Nivo; 65 had BV; 49 had Gem; 4 had CPI and 63 had Misc. There was no significant difference in the baseline characteristics by type of 1 st ST (data not shown). BBV had significantly higher ORR (92% vs 79%, p<0.001) and CR rate (80% vs 49%, p <0.001) compared to PBC. BV/Nivo had significantly higher CR rate (67% vs 49%, p <0.001) and a trend towards higher ORR (86% vs 79%, p = 0.1) compared to PBC. BV had significantly lower ORR (62% vs 79%, p <0.001) and CR rate (34% vs 49%, p <0.001) compared to PBC. There was no difference in ORR and CR rate of PBC, Gem, CPI and Misc agents. Final ST prior to ASCT was PBC in 451, BBV in 76, BV/Nivo in 48, BV in 87, CPI in 24, Gem in 90 and Misc in 64. Table 1 lists K-M estimates of 2-year survival probabilities for different Final ST groups. Median follow up was 3 (range 0.1-13) years. BV/Nivo group had significantly higher proportion of patients with PRD and BD than PBC, no other differences in baseline characteristics were identified amongst ST groups (data not shown). BV/Nivo (HR: 0.1 (CI 95:0.02-0.4), p<0.01) and CPI (HR: 0.12 (CI 95:0.03-0.5), p<0.01) had significantly higher PFS than PBC. There was no significant difference in PFS between other ST groups (Figure 1a). Type of ST was not significantly associated with difference in OS (Figure 1b). 536 pts underwent ASCT in CR, 273 underwent ASCT in partial response (PR) and 31 underwent ASCT with progressive disease (PD). Pre-ASCT PR (HR 1.6 (CI 95:1.3-2.6), p<0.001) and PD (HR: 4.1 (CI 95: 2.5-6.8), p<0.001) predicted significantly lower PFS compared to CR (Figure 2a). OS was also significantly lower in pts with pre-ASCT PR (HR 1.7 (CI 95: 1.2-1.6), p<0.001) and PD (HR 5.3 (CI 95: 2.8-10), p<0.001) (Figure 2b). Higher number of pre-ASCT ST predicted lower PFS (HR 1.3 (CI 95: 1.1-1.6), p<0.001) and OS (HR 1.5 (CI 95: 1.2-1.8), p<0.001). In pts with pre-ASCT CR, all 36 who had pre-ASCT CR after BV/Nivo were alive and relapse free for follow up of 0.1-5 yrs. BV/Nivo was associated with significantly higher PFS (HR 0.1 (CI 95: 0.01-0.7), p <0.05) but not OS compared to PBC in this subgroup. Increasing number of pre-ASCT ST predicted worse PFS (HR 1.5 (CI 95: 1.2-2.0), p<0.01) and OS (HR 2.2 (CI 95: 1.4-3.4), p<0.001) in this subgroup as well. Conclusions: BV/Nivo has a higher CR rate and better post-ASCT PFS compared to conventional chemotherapy and can lead to durable remissions in pts with pre-ASCT CR. BBV had a higher response rate and similar post-ASCT survival to conventional chemotherapy. BV had lower response rates compared to chemotherapy. Novel ST such as BV/Nivo and BBV may be preferable to conventional chemotherapy in R/R cHL. Figure 1 Figure 1. Disclosures Spinner: Notable Labs: Honoraria.

SummaryErdheim–Chester disease (ECD) is a rare histiocytic neoplasm with frequent multiorgan involvement. An accurate diagnosis of ECD requires the correlation of clinical features, histopathologic and radiologic findings. We describe a case series of patients with a referral diagnosis of ECD, whereby the diagnosis was changed to non‐histiocytic diseases after comprehensive review at a tertiary care center. This accurate revision of the referral diagnosis of ECD enabled initiation of proper disease‐directed therapy in a timely manner for these patients and avoided unnecessary exposure to systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy or targeted agents. Our study highlights the value of a multidisciplinary team of histiocytosis experts in confirming the diagnosis of ECD and also brings attention to other conditions to consider that can mimic ECD, including osteopoikilosis, tenosynovial giant cell tumour, IgG4‐related disease, fibrous dysplasia and chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis.

Histiocytic neoplasms are rare hematologic disorders accounting for less than 1% of cancers of the soft tissue and lymph nodes. Clinical presentation and prognosis of these disorders can be highly variable, leading to challenges for diagnosis and optimal management of these patients. Treatment often consists of systemic therapy, and recent studies support use of targeted therapies for patients with these disorders. Observation (“watch and wait”) may be sufficient for select patients with mild disease. These NCCN Guidelines for Histiocytic Neoplasms include recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of adults with the most common histiocytic disorders: Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Erdheim-Chester disease, and Rosai-Dorfman disease.

AbstractLangerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a histiocytic neoplasm that can involve the lungs as single system (LCH‐SSL) or multisystem disease (LCH‐MSL). The role of full‐body radiographic staging to determine whether patients have LCH‐SSL or LCH‐MSL is unclear. Long‐term outcomes of LCH‐SSL versus LCH‐MSL and multisystem without lung involvement (LCH‐MSNL) are unknown. A retrospective study of adult LCH patients seen at our center from January 2000 to 2020 was performed. In Part 1, we addressed utility of whole‐body staging imaging among those presenting with isolated pulmonary signs or symptoms. Staging was defined as fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography‐computed tomography (CT) or whole‐body CT obtained within 3 months of diagnosis. In Part 2, we examined the frequency of developing extra‐pulmonary disease over time and mortality in patients with LCH‐SSL. In Part 3, we compared the overall survival of LCH‐SSL, LCH‐MSL, and LCH‐MSNL. Part 1: 240 patients with LCH were identified. A total of 112 (47%) had pulmonary signs or symptoms at presentation. Thirty‐four (30%) underwent radiographic staging and only one showed evidence of extra‐pulmonary disease. Part 2: 108 (45%) were LCH‐SSL. Median follow‐up duration of 4.5 years (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.9–6.0). None developed extra‐pulmonary disease. Part 3: 5‐year survival: 94% (95% CI: 84%–98%) for LCH‐SSL, 78% (95% CI: 59%–90%) for LCH‐MSL, and 75% (95% CI: 53%–89%) for LCH‐MSNL. LCH patients presenting with isolated pulmonary signs or symptoms rarely have extra‐pulmonary involvement at the time of diagnosis and generally do not develop extra‐pulmonary progression. LCH‐SSL has the best overall survival, while LCH‐MSL and LCH‐MSNL have similar clinical outcomes.

7050 Background: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an inflammatory myeloid neoplasm manifesting as unifocal, multifocal, multisystem (MS) or pulmonary LCH (smoking-related). In pediatric LCH, somatic BRAFV600E prevalence is reported at 55-70%, and associated with increased risk of multisystem disease and early treatment failure. Our aim was to describe the prevalence of BRAFV600E mutation and evaluate its association with clinical manifestations and outcomes in adults with LCH. Methods: A retrospective review of adult patients diagnosed with LCH consecutively seen at Mayo Clinic from 2011 to 2020 was performed.Evaluation of association of BRAFV600E mutational status and clinical factors was conducted by the Chi-square test for independence. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed via the Kaplan Meier method and compared with the log-rank test to assess the effect of BRAFV600E. Results: Of the total LCH cohort ( n= 128), 88 patients with available BRAFV600E results were included in the study. Median age at diagnosis was 41y (range 19 - 88); 52.3% were male. 40 (45.5%) patients had a BRAFV600E mutation. Increasing age was associated with BRAFV600E (10-year increase OR 1.42, 95%CI 1.07-1.89; p= 0.017). No correlation was observed between BRAFV600E status and site of disease, risk organ (RO: liver, spleen, marrow) involvement, or MS disease. Patients with BRAFV600E were 4 times more likely to receive targeted therapy ( BRAF inhibitor) than non- BRAFV600E patients ( p= 0.018). After a median follow up of 46 mo (95% CI 30.8-61.2), PFS was similar between BRAFV600E and non- BRAFV600E patients ( p= 0.167). However, patients with BRAFV600E had a worse 3-year OS compared with non- BRAFV600E patients (84% vs. 97.1%, p= 0.027). Patients who died had a significantly higher age at LCH diagnosis (median 62 vs. 38 years; p= 0.0002). Conclusions: In our cohort of adults with LCH, BRAFV600E was less frequent than reported in pediatric literature and was associated with worse OS. The frequency of BRAFV600E was positively correlated with increasing age. Contrary to reports in pediatric LCH, there were no significant associations between BRAFV600E and high-risk or multisystem disease.[Table: see text]

7049 Background: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) can manifest as single system (SS) disease, multisystem (MS) disease, or pulmonary LCH (smoking-related). There is a paucity of data on prognostic factors including risk organ (RO) involvement (liver, spleen, and bone marrow) in adult LCH, which we sought to address in this study. Methods: Single-center retrospective study of patients ≥18y diagnosed with LCH from 1998 to 2020. Univariate and multivariate analyses for progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were conducted using age, sex, organ involvement, LCH subtype, year of diagnosis, BRAF V600E status, and treatments. Results: We included 219 patients with LCH; median age 43y (range 19-88), females 51%, SS unifocal (23%), SS multifocal (6%), pulmonary (31%) and MS (40%). Commonly involved organs included lung (53%), bone (42%), skin (24%), pituitary (16%), and CNS (12%). BRAF V600E was positive in 40/88 (46%). Median follow-up duration was 6.1y (95% CI, 5.1- 7.1). On univariate analysis, factors associated with worse PFS were bone LCH, RO involvement, multifocal/MS LCH, and radiation therapy alone; those with worse OS included RO involvement, MS disease, BRAF V600E+, and age ≥45y at diagnosis. In multivariate analysis, BRAF V600E and age ≥45y at diagnosis were associated with worse mortality (Table). Median PFS was not reached (NR-NR) for SS unifocal LCH, 5mo (0-12.7) for SS multifocal LCH, 110mo (84.7-135.3) for pulmonary LCH, and 27mo (17.2-36.8) for MS LCH. 5-year OS was 97.4% for SS unifocal LCH, 100% for SS multifocal LCH, 96.1% for pulmonary LCH, and 79.9% for MS LCH. 41 (18.7%) developed a second primary malignancy (SPM), of which 11 were hematologic neoplasms. There was a trend towards a higher prevalence of SPMs in patients with BRAF V600E (28% vs. 17%; p = 0.22). Conclusions: In our large single-center study, PFS for multifocal and MS LCH was worse than SS unifocal or pulmonary LCH. RO involvement was not associated with outcomes in multivariate analysis. Overall prognosis was excellent for all subtypes except MS LCH. BRAF V600E and older age were associated with worse OS. The prevalence of SPMs was very high and needs to be explored further.[Table: see text]

Background: Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) has the worst prognosis of the classical BCR-ABL1 negative myeloproliferative neoplasms, with a median overall survival of six years. Factors affecting survival include age, symptom burden, cytopenias, mutation profile, and development of second malignancies including transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Ruxolitinib, a selective JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor, was granted approval by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration for treatment of intermediate and high-risk PMF in November 2011 based on reduction in spleen volume and demonstration of symptom improvement. The impact of ruxolitinib on PMF survival is unknown. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether there has been a change in survival and patterns of second primary malignancies (SPMs) including AML transformation among PMF population in US after ruxolitinib approval. Methods: Using the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-18 survival and Multiple Primary Standardized Incidence Ratio (MP-SIR) registries, we conducted a retrospective study with patients diagnosed with PMF between the years of 2007 and 2016. We divided these patients into two five-year cohorts, pre-ruxolitinib approval (2007-2011) and post-ruxolitinib approval (2012-2016), and compared relative survival rates (RSRs) and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of SPMs between the cohorts. SIRs were calculated as the ratio of observed to expected malignancy cases over the specified time periods. Median follow-up duration was five years for each cohort. RSRs and SIRs were compared between cohorts using two-proportion Z-tests. Results: We included 2164 patients diagnosed with PMF between 2007 and 2016 with data available in the SEER-18 survival and MP-SIR registries. Of these, 1051 (49%) patients were included in the pre-ruxolitinib cohort and 1113 (51%) patients were included in the post-ruxolitinib cohort. There was no significant difference in the four-year RSRs between the pre-ruxolitinib and post-ruxolitinib cohorts (55% vs. 56%, p = 0.719). A higher proportion of SPMs occurred in the post-ruxolitinib cohort when compared with the pre-ruxolitinib cohort (60% vs. 40%, p < 0.001). Hematologic malignancies comprised a majority of all SPMs (AML 39% and non-Hodgkin lymphoma 16%). A higher incidence of AML transformation occurred in the post-ruxolitinib cohort when compared with the pre-ruxolitinib cohort (SIR 121.48 vs. 72.22, p = 0.037). Non-hematologic malignancies were also more common in the post-ruxolitinib cohort when compared with the pre-ruxolitinib cohort (SIR 1.09 vs. 0.94, p < 0.001). The most common non-hematologic malignancies were cancers of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and prostate gland, though their SIRs were not significant in either cohort. Conclusions: Our study results suggest that despite improvements in prognostication and the approval of ruxolitinib, the prognosis of PMF remains poor in the US. These results may be due to low uptake of ruxolitinib in practice or a lack of benefit from the drug itself. Additionally, for reasons that are unclear, SPM incidence has increased in the five years following the approval of this drug. Further studies should be conducted to determine the cause of these findings. Figure Disclosures Shah: Dren Bio: Consultancy.

Introduction: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare MAPK-ERK pathway driven histiocytic neoplasm that occurs in pediatric as well as adult population. Despite improvement in clinical outcomes, there is some data to suggest an increased propensity to develop second primary malignancies (SPMs) in LCH patients. However, population-based studies analyzing the incidence and spectrum of SPMs in pediatric and adult LCH patients are lacking. In this study, we utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database to examine the various SPMs occurring among pediatric and adult LCH cases. Methods: We used the November 2018 submission of the SEER 18 registry, which covers ~27.8% of the US population based on the 2010 census, as our database. We used the SEER*Stat version 8.3.6 statistical software to analyze data. We identified cases diagnosed with LCH as their first primary malignancy between 2000 and 2016 using International Classification of Diseases for Oncology edition 3 (ICD-O-3) codes, including LCH NOS (not otherwise specified) (9751/1), LCH (9751/3), LCH, unifocal (9752/1), LCH, multifocal (9753/3), LCH, disseminated, borderline (9754/1) and Disseminated LCH (9754/3). These cases were followed for 180+months, and the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) or relative risk and absolute excess risk (AER) were calculated. We examined the differences in occurrence of SPMs among the pediatric (Age <18 years) and adult population (Age ≥18 years). Additionally, we evaluated the concurrent and prior cancers in LCH patients as an exploratory objective. Results: The study included 1392 cases with LCH (Table 1), with median age at diagnosis 8 years (range newborn - 86 years). Out of these cases, 1205 (87%) were diagnosed as LCH and 186 (13%) as disseminated LCH. 936 cases (67%) were diagnosed at age <18 years (pediatric LCH), while 456 cases (33%) were diagnosed at age ≥18 years (adult LCH). The overall age-adjusted incidence rate for LCH was found to be 1 per 1,000,000. The incidence rate was 2.6 per 1,000,000 in pediatric LCH group and 0.4 per 1,000,000 in the adult LCH group. Out of the entire cohort, 20 (1.4%) cases developed a total of 21 SPMs [SIR 2.07; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.28-3.16]. Median latency period to development of SPMs was 28 months. The pediatric LCH group had an overall higher risk of developing SPMs [SIR 6.42, 95%CI 2.08-14.97] than the general population, especially for hematologic malignancies [SIR 18.76, 95%CI 6.09-43.78], mainly, nodal Hodgkin lymphoma [SIR 60.93, 95%CI 7.38-220.12] and extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma [SIR 60.88, 95%CI 1.54-339.2]. No solid tumors were seen in this group. The adult LCH group did not have an overall increased risk of developing SPMs than the general population [SIR 1.71, 95%CI 0.98-2.77], except for Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) [SIR 66.29, 95%CI 1.68-369.36] especially 60-119 months from diagnosis of LCH and miscellaneous cancers [SIR 11.43, 95%CI 2.36-33.39] especially 12-59 months after diagnosis of LCH. 62.5% of SPMs that developed in the adult LCH group were solid tumors, however, the overall risk for developing solid tumors was not higher than the general population [SIR 1.2, 95%CI 0.58-2.2], except for carcinoma in-situ of vulva [SIR 62.72, 95%CI 1.59-349.45] 2-11 months from diagnosis of LCH. Overall, tumors of the respiratory system (21%), female breast (13%) and prostate (9%) were the most common malignancies occurring prior to development of LCH whereas tumors of the respiratory system (28%), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (20%) and endocrine system (13%) occurred concurrent to LCH. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive population-based study assessing the incidence of SPMs in pediatric and adult LCH. Our study shows that the incidence of LCH is higher in the pediatric age group compared to adults. We found an increased risk for hematologic malignancies, specifically for Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in pediatric LCH compared to the general population. Among adult LCH, however, the risk was higher for development of ALL and carcinoma in-situ of vulva when compared to the general population. Our results may help guide survivorship and surveillance strategies among LCH patients. More studies are needed to understand the molecular underpinning leading to increased SPM formation in LCH patients. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
