Introduction: There is a paucity of randomized trials to guide therapy for relapsed AL amyloidosis with treatment regimens generally extrapolated from experience in multiple myeloma. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients who relapsed after receiving autologous stem cell transplant at Mayo Clinic. Patients treated for first relapse between January 2004 and December 2018 were included. Results: Three hundred and twenty-one patients were seen for relapsed AL amyloidosis post ASCT during the study period. Baseline characteristics were typical for a cohort with AL amyloidosis and are listed in Table1. 39% received therapy prior to transplant, conditioning in the majority (75%) was melphalan 200mg/m2. The median progression free survival from transplant (PFS1) was 30.7 months. Of the 321 patients 294 received treatment for relapsed disease. We categorized treatment regimens according to commonly used combinations and drug classes to further analyze outcomes. 34 patients were excluded from this analysis as they either proceeded directly to second ASCT (n=10) or received an atypical regimen not commonly considered for AL amyloidosis (n=24). Five categories of therapy regimens were identified, thalidomide based (n=110), melphalan plus steroids (n=31), 2nd generation immunomodulatory (IMiD) drug +/- alkylator (n=76), proteasome inhibitor (PI) +/- alkylator (n=116), PI plus IMiD (n=16), or daratumumab based (n=9). Disease and treatment characteristics for patients treated with these regimens are listed in Table 2. Patients treated with thalidomide had the shortest PFS1 (17.7 months) but PFS1 was similar for those treated with melphalan plus steroids, PI+IMiD and 2nd generation IMiDs (25.5, 24.3 and 25.6 months respectively). Patients treated with a PI +/- alkylator and daratumumab based regimen had the longest PFS1 (36.7 and 41.9 months respectively). The median duration of therapy was longer in patients treated with a 2nd generation IMiD or daratumumab based regimen (10.2, 12, 6.1, 5.5, 6.2 and 5.9 months for Dara based, 2nd generation IMiD, PI+/- alkylator, PI+IMiD, melphalan plus steroids and thalidomide based respectively). Hematologic response rate was lowest in those treated with melphalan plus steroids or thalidomide based regimens (44% and 55% respectively) and highest for patients treated with a PI+/- alkylator, (Figure 1). Progression free survival from relapsed therapy (PFS2) was longest amongst patients treated with daratumumab based regimens, PI +/- alkylator and 2nd generation IMiDs (not reached, 29.9 and 26.7 months respectively), Figure 2A. Overall survival from time of relapsed therapy favored patients treated with daratumumab based regimens, 2nd generation IMiDs and PI +/- alkylator, Figure 2b). Conclusion: A second generation IMiD based regimen or PI +/- alkylator produce high response rates and prolonged progression free and overall survival for relapsed AL amyloidosis. Patients treated with daratumumab based regimens and those treated with a PI plus IMiD also appear to do well, although numbers were low in our study. Patients treated with melphalan plus steroids or thalidomide based combinations have inferior outcomes and these regimens should be avoided.

Abstract Background: Marginal zone Lymphoma (MZL) is the third most abundant lymphoma and it is subclassified into 3 entities: splenic, nodal and extranodal mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Positron emission tomography (PET) using 18F fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) with computed tomography (CT) is increasingly used for staging and response assessment of FDG avid lymphomas, such as diffuse large B cell lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma. The role of PET/CT in lymphomas with variable FDG avidity, such as MZL, is still under active research. Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate PET/CT as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in patients with MZL. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients with newly diagnosed MZL, treated with immunotherapy, chemotherapy regimen, surgery or eradication between 2008 and 2016 in a single tertiary center. Patients who did not undergo pre-treatment PET/CT (P-PET/CT) were excluded. Patients were identified through the hospital's computerized database. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data were collected from patients' files until the latest follow-up available and for at least 12 months after completion of treatment administration. P-PET/CT, interim (I-PET/CT) and end-of-treatment PET/CT (E-PET/CT) studies were centrally reviewed by a nuclear specialist and reported using 3 methods of evaluation: visual assessment, maximal SUV reported and Deauville 5-point score (DS) evaluation (DS only for I-PET/CT and E-PET/CT). PET/CT was interpreted as positive if any of the three evaluation methods was positive. The primary outcome was to evaluate the prognostic role of P-PET/CT, I-PET/CT and E-PET/CT on progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Survival curve was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox regression. Models adjusted for age, sex, and stage were used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) was used for the association between PET/CT positivity, PFS and OS. Results: Data of 196 patients with MZL were identified. 86 patients were excluded due to absence of P-PET/CT. Thus, 110 patients were included in this analysis. The most frequent histological type of MZL was MALT (51%). Median patients' age was 67 years (range: 18-93). The median follow-up period was 63 months (range: 3-278). 54/110 (73%) presented with bone marrow involvement and 100/110 (91%) had extranodal involvement. MZL transformed to an aggressive lymphoma in 3% of the patients. The median OS and PFS for the whole cohort were 63 months (interquartile range: 39-85) and 60 months (interquartile range: 37-76), respectively. 77/110 (71.3%) patients had positive P-PET/CT. Among 19 patients that had I-PET/CT, eight studies were positive and 11 negative. 63/110 patients underwent E-PET/CT: 12 studies were positive and 51 negative. P-PET/CT and I-PET/CT were not predictive of PFS or OS. Sub-group analysis of the different types of MZL did not show such a correlation as well. When adjusted for age, sex and stage, positive E-PET/CT was associated with reduced PFS with a hazard ratio (HR) of 4.16 (CI 1.55-11.2, p=0.005) (Figure 1). Conversely, positive E-PET/CT did not correlate with OS maybe due to the low death rate (3 patients). In a univariate analysis, beta 2 microglobulin was prognostic for PFS with and adjusted HR of 1.44 (CI 1.08-1.94, p-0.014). Conclusions: Our study shows that above 70% of MZL are FDG avid. P-PET/CT and I-PET/CT were not predictive of PFS; However, E- PET/CT was predictive of PFS with an adjusted HR of 4.2.

AbstractWe evaluated the role of 18‐fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐d‐glucose positron emission tomography ([18F] FDG‐PET) with computed tomography (CT) (PET/CT) as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in newly diagnosed marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) patients.This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with newly diagnosed MZL, treated with immunotherapy, chemotherapy regimens, surgery, or Helicobacter pylori eradication between 2008 and 2016 in a single tertiary center. Only patients who had a pretreatment PET/CT (P‐PET/CT) were included. P‐PET/CT, interim (I‐PET/CT), and end‐of‐treatment PET/CT (E‐PET/CT) studies were reviewed. P‐PET/CT results were reported using two methods of evaluation, qualitative and semi quantitative: visual assessment (VAS) and maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax), and I‐PET and E‐PET results were reported by Deauville 5‐point score (DS) evaluation as well. Avidity of PET/CT was defined as abnormal uptake in any of these methods. The primary outcome was the prognostic role of P‐PET/CT, I‐PET/CT, and E‐PET/CT on progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).Data of 196 patients with MZL were identified, 110 of which had P‐PET/CT and were included in this analysis. Median age was 67 years (range 18‐93). The median follow‐up period was 63 months (range 3‐278). The median OS and PFS for the whole cohort were 63 (interquartile range 39‐85) and 60 (interquartile range 37‐76) months, respectively. The avidity of PET at baseline for the whole cohort was 70% (77/110 patients), for MALT lymphoma, 62.5% (40/64 patients), for NMZL, 76.4% (13/17 patients), and for SMZL, 82.7% (24/29 patients). When adjusted for IPI, sex, and comorbidities, positive E‐PET/CT was associated with reduced PFS with a hazard ratio (HR) of 3.4 (95% CI, 1.27‐9.14, P = 0.02). Positive E‐PET/CT did not correlate with OS. However, there were only three events. P‐PET/CT was not predictive of PFS or OS. Our study demonstrates that above 70% of MZL are FDG avid. Positive E‐PET/CT is a strong prognostic factor for PFS.
