Abstract We evaluate the impact of donor types on outcomes of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in myelofibrosis, using the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research registry data for HCTs done between 2013 and 2019. In all 1597 patients, the use of haploidentical donors increased from 3% in 2013 to 19% in 2019. In study-eligible 1032 patients who received peripheral blood grafts for chronic-phase myelofibrosis, 38% of recipients of haploidentical HCT were non-White/Caucasian. Matched sibling donor (MSD)–HCTs were associated with superior overall survival (OS) in the first 3 months (haploidentical hazard ratio [HR], 5.80 [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.52-13.35]; matched unrelated (MUD) HR, 4.50 [95% CI, 2.24-9.03]; mismatched unrelated HR, 5.13 [95% CI, 1.44-18.31]; P < .001). This difference in OS aligns with lower graft failure with MSD (haploidentical HR, 6.11 [95% CI, 2.98-12.54]; matched unrelated HR, 2.33 [95% CI, 1.20-4.51]; mismatched unrelated HR, 1.82 [95% CI, 0.58-5.72]). There was no significant difference in OS among haploidentical, MUD, and mismatched unrelated donor HCTs in the first 3 months. Donor type was not associated with differences in OS beyond 3 months after HCT, relapse, disease-free survival, or OS among patients who underwent HCT within 24 months of diagnosis. Patients who experienced graft failure had more advanced disease and commonly used nonmyeloablative conditioning. Although MSD-HCTs were superior, there is no significant difference in HCT outcomes from haploidentical and MUDs. These results establish haploidentical HCT with posttransplantation cyclophosphamide as a viable option in myelofibrosis, especially for ethnic minorities underrepresented in the donor registries.

TPS7100 Background: Despite the promising efficacy of CAR-T for patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphomas (LBCL), more than 60% of patients will relapse, the majority of which occur in the first 6 months. Approximately 30% of patients with LBCL treated with CAR-T achieve a partial response (PR) on day 30 (D30) PET-CT assessment. Of patients in a D30 PR, 70% will eventually progress, yet the standard of care remains close observation. Early consolidative treatment strategies utilizing therapies with a different mechanism of action may improve outcomes, but there are currently no reliable biomarkers. Epcoritamab (Epco), a bispecific antibody directed against CD20 and CD3, has been approved by the FDA for LBCL patients who relapse after at least 2 lines of therapy. In the phase 2 study, Epco was associated with an overall response rate (ORR) of 63% and a complete response (CR) rate of 39%, including similar responses in a subset of patients who were relapsed 100 days post CAR-T. This study is a trial-in-progress that will evaluate the efficacy of epco compared to observation for patients with LBCLs achieving a PR on D30 post CAR-T PET-CT assessment. Methods: This is an investigator-initiated, randomized, phase II, multicenter, open-label study (NCT06238648) evaluating epco monotherapy for a fixed duration of 12 cycles compared to observation for LBCL patients with D30 PR after standard of care CAR-T. A maximum of 120 patients will be randomized 1:1 to epco or observation across 10 academic centers. Stratification factors include line of CAR-T (second vs third line) and costimulatory domain (CD28 vs 4-1BB). Key inclusion criteria include PET evidence of a D30 PR. non-bulky disease ( <7.5cm), ANC of >1000, hemoglobin >7 g/dL if asymptomatic or >8 if symptomatic, platelet count >50,000. G-CSF, pRBCs and platelet transfusions are allowed. Key exclusion criteria include prior anti CD20xCD3 bispecific antibody therapy, ongoing or uncontrolled CRS or ICANS, and active or symptomatic CNS disease. Epco is administered subcutaneously at a dose of 0.16mg on day 1, 0.8mg on day 8, prior to full dose of 48mg on day 15. Epco is administered weekly in 28 day cycles (C) for C1-3, on day 1 and 15 of C4-9 and on day 1 of C10-12. PET-CT response is assessed by the 2014 Lugano criteria after 2 cycles, and then every 3 months during active treatment. The primary objective is efficacy, measured as conversion from D30 PR to CR. The secondary endpoints include frequency and severity of treatment emergent adverse events, ORR, duration of response, duration of complete response, progression free survival, event free survival, and overall survival. Peripheral blood samples will be collected pre-treatment and during treatment to assess for biomarkers of response and resistance. The study was activated in January 2024 and recruitment is ongoing.

7067 Background: High intensity induction with regimens such asDA-EPOCH-R, CODOX-M/IVAC-R and HyperCVAD are often used for young patients with DHL/THL despite no overall survival (OS) benefit compared to R-CHOP. Reports on the application of CODOX-M/IVAC-R are subject to selection bias as only young fit patients can tolerate it. We aimed to investigate outcomes difference between CODOX-M/IVAC-R and DA-EPOCH-R in patients ≤ 60 years with DHL/THL diagnosed via FISH. Methods: Retrospective review of DHL/THL patients from the Mayo Clinic diagnosed between July15th 2010-October19th 2023 treated with CODOX-M/IVAC-R or DA-EPOCH-R at age of up to 60 years. Event free survival (EFS) was defined as time from diagnosis to progression, relapse, next line of treatment or death from any cause. Results: 113 patients were included; CODOX-M/IVAC-R (N=49) and DA-EPOCH-R (N=64). Patient and disease characteristics are in table. 80% (N=39) achieved CR on end of treatment (EOT) PET CT with CODOX-M/IVAC-R compared to only 58% (N=37) with DA-EPOCH-R. CODOX-M/IVAC-R was associated with superior EFS on univariate (HR=0.54, 95%CI=0.31-0.97) and multivariable analysis adjusted for age, BCL2 vs BCL6 translocation and receipt of consolidation ASCT (aHR=0.53, 95%CI=0.29-0.95), however, there was no significant influence on OS (aHR=0.97, 95%CI=0.50-1.91). At a median follow-up of 5.3 years and 3.3 years for the CODOX-M-IVAC and DA-R-EPOCH group respectively; EFS was superior in the CODOX-M/IVAC-R group having 1, 2 and 5 years EFS of 68.3%, 64.1 and 61.5% respectively compared to 52.4%, 48.9% and 39.5% respectively in the DA-EPOCH-R group (p=0.035). 33%(16/49) of the CODOX-M/IVAC-R patients had R/R disease (No CR on EOT PET CT or relapsed) with a median OS of 10.3 months compared to 33.7 months in the R/R DA EPOCH-R group (54%, 35/64). Number of patients who were able to receive salvage ASCT, CAR T and Allo-SCT were 5, 17 and 4 respectively in the DA EPOCH-R group compared to 1, 6 and 3 patients respectively in the CODOX-M/IVAC-R group. None died of regimen toxicity in both groups. 19% underwent ASCT consolidation after CR with initial induction (11 patients in each group); no OS was noticed however consolidation with ASCT was associated with increased EFS regardless of the induction regimen with best outcomes being in the CODOX-M/IVAC-R group (P=0.0072). Conclusions: Our study showed that young patients with DHL/THL who received CODOX-M/IVAC-R had superior EFS compared to DA-EPOCH-R with no OS benefit. CODOX-M/IVAC-R can spare patients receiving more subsequent therapies. Patients who have R/R disease following CODOX-M/IVAC-R have poor outcomes. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background Although CAR T-cell therapy has achieved remarkable response in patients (pts) with B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), 20-30% of pts still have primary refractory disease (PD1), and another 30-40% relapse (PD2). We and others have shown that monocytes can modulate T-cell functions and impact clinical response to chemoimmunotherapy in NHL. Given that monocytes nadir and recovery kinetics differ from lymphocytes post lymphodepletion chemotherapy, we hypothesize that monocyte phenotype at peak CAR-T expansion and in the early month post CAR-T can modulate immune responses. Methods scRNAseq were performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells of NHL pts prior to lymphodepletion chemotherapy (pre), at peak CAR-T expansion (peak), and one month following CAR-T (M1). Seurat v4.3.0 was used for unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis. Lugano criteria was used to determine clinical responses which were categorized as CR (complete remission), PD1, or PD2. Results We analyzed 129,981 monocytes from 77 samples of 32 pts (16 CR, 4 PD1, 12 PD2) and 5 healthy controls. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis identified 13 monocyte clusters: 4 classical monocyte (CM) clusters with transcriptome profiles for enriched signaling in IL-6, TGFβ, EMT, and p53; 2 intermediate monocyte (IM) clusters enriched for IL-1 or CD38 signaling; 2 non-classical monocytes (NM), one with increased CD36 expression; 3 monocytic MDSC clusters with enrichment of TGFβ, SIRPα, and HIF1α signaling; and 2 lymphoma-associated monocytes, expressing CD163 or CD169. At Pre and Peak, the distribution of the monocyte clusters was similar in pts with CR, PD2, or PD1, with only a slight decrease in the percent of NM in the PD2 group at Pre and slight increase of CD36 NM in PD1 at Peak. Compared to Pre, all pts had increased percent of CD36 NM and IL-1 IM at Peak. Interestingly, while the distribution of monocyte clusters was similar at Pre and Peak across clinical responses, GSEA showed that monocytes in CR pts, compared to PD1 and PD2, had gene expression enrichment of MYC target V2 pathway at Pre and TGFβ pathway at Peak. At M1, pts in PD1 had increased percent of p53 and TGFβ CM and decreased percent of NM. In contrast, pts with CR had decreased percent of IL-6 CM, p53 CM, TGFβ CM, IL-1 IM and increased percent of NM. Notably, as pts with CR and PD2 may appear similar clinically at M1, pts with PD2, compared to CR, have increased IL-6 CM, IL-1 IM, and decreased NM. In addition, GSEA showed that PD2 pts had increased IFNα response. Our results demonstrate that monocyte phenotype differences at Pre and Peak could be associated with CAR-T clinical response, and that persistent inflammatory monocyte signaling at M1 in pts with clinical response is associated with relapse. These data suggest a role for development of monocyte biomarkers to predict response and therapeutic targeting.

Abstract Background: Although CAR T-cell therapy has achieved remarkable response rates in adult patients (pts) with relapsed and refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), 20-30% of pts still have primary refractory disease, and 30-40% of pts relapse, often within 6 months of therapy. Given that durable clinical response can be achieved without CAR T cell persistence, we hypothesized that durable remission is correlated with the expansion of tumor-reactive T-cell receptor (TCR) clones following CAR T-cell infusion. To assess this, we examined the TCR repertoire of adult pts with B-NHL who received CD19 CAR T-cell (axi-cel) therapy to identify correlates of clinical response. Methods: Single-cell (sc) RNA sequencing (seq) and scTCR-seq were performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells from B-NHL pts before lymphodepletion chemotherapy (pre), at peak CAR-T expansion (peak), and one month following CAR-T (M1). scRNAseq and scTCR-seq data were processed using CellRanger v7.0.1, which were then analyzed using Immunarch (v0.9.0) for TCR clonality and sample diversity. Diversity was assessed using the Gini coefficient to indicate clone size inequality (0 = maximum diversity). TCR diversity and phenotype of expanded and emerged TCR clones post CAR-T were compared across clinical response categories: CR (complete remission for at least 6 months), PD1 (primary refractory), and PD2 (relapsed after partial or complete response). Results: We analyzed 107,035 T cells from 77 serial samples of 32 pts (16 CR, 4 PD1, 12 PD2) and 5 healthy controls. Compared to pts with PD1 and PD2, pts with CR had a larger Gini coefficient for TCR clones at M1 relative to Pre and Peak. The Gini coefficient was the largest for tumor recirculating CD8 T effector memory (Tem) and activated CD8 peripheral memory (Tpm) cells at M1 for pts with CR. Examining the repertoire of emerged and expanded TCR clones at Peak and M1 from Pre, pts with PD2, compared to pts with CR, had a higher percentage of activated CD8 T peripheral memory (Tpm) and T regulatory cells (Treg) among the emerged clones and activated CD8 Tpm among the expanded clones. Patients with PD1, relative to patients with CR, had more proliferating and non-activated CD8 Tpm among the expanded and emerged clones. Conclusion: NHL pts with CR after CAR-T had more robust clonal expansion of T cells, particularly tumor recirculating CD8 Tem and activated CD8 Tpm, compared to pts with relapsed or refractory disease. In contrast, pts with relapsed or refractory disease had an expansion of TCR clones with a larger proportion of CD8 Tpm and Tregs. Endogenous tumor-reactive TCR expansion may help predict favorable clinical response following CAR T-cell therapy. Citation Format: Aiman J.

Abstract Introduction: Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy is an established treatment modality for the management of refractory and/or relapsed non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Despite restrictions on granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) use in registration clinical trials due to potential worsening of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), G-CSF is often prescribed for neutrophil recovery post-CAR-T in clinical practice. We conducted a retrospective study to assess the association between G-CSF use and the safety and efficacy of CAR-T. Methods: Following Institutional Review Board approval, we retrospectively analyzed NHL patients receiving commercial CD19-targeted CAR-T across Mayo Clinic sites (Arizona, Florida, and Minnesota) between October 2017 and May 2023. Demographics, labs, and post CAR-T events were collected. Electronic medical records were reviewed for G-CSF exposure within Day 1 - 100 post-CAR T. Differences by G-CSF status were examined using a Chi-square test and Kruskal Wallis tests. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for overall survival (OS) were calculated using Cox model. Results: Among 270 CAR-T patients; 106 received G-CSF within 30 days and 164 did not. Median age was 56.9 with G-CSF and 58.3 without G-CSF. Most were male (75.2% G-CSF, 62.6% no G-CSF). Diffuse large B cell lymphoma was the predominant NHL subtype (67.0% G-CSF, 65.2% no G-CSF). G-CSF within 30 days was not associated with reduced incidence of neutropenic fever (11.7% G-CSF vs 9.9% no G-CSF, p = 0.6593) or documented infection (22.1% vs 18.3%, p = 0.4439). G-CSF correlated with decreased profound neutropenia duration (ANC &lt; 100 μL, 0 vs 2 days, p &lt; 0.0001) and incidence within 30 days ( 31.7% vs 60.4%, p &lt; 0.0001) as well as incidence of protracted profound neutropenia (&gt; 7 days, 3.8% vs 22.8%, p &lt; 0.0001). G-CSF was associated with a higher incidence of cytopenias between days 30 -100: severe neutropenia (ANC &lt; 500/uL, 28.8% vs 15.2%, p = 0.0075), severe anemia (Hb &lt; 8 g/dL, 21% vs 9.7%, p = 0.0114), and severe thrombocytopenia (Plt &lt; 50 g/L, 35.2% vs 20.9%, p = 0.0099). Logistic regression analysis showed that none of the examined covariates, including prior autologous stem cell transplant, ECOG PS score, and receipt of bridging therapy, were associated with severe neutropenia likelihood. G-CSF was associated with a higher CRS incidence (89.6% vs 79.9%, p = 0.0343), but grade 3 CRS or higher (4.7% vs 3.7%, p = 0.6675) was no different. No difference in complete response rates (66% vs 61.1%, p = 0.4707) or 2-year OS (p = 0.523) was observed between the 2 groups. Conclusion: G-CSF within 30 days was associated with reduced duration and incidence of profound neutropenia without a significant impact on incidence of neutropenic fever or documented infections. There was a signal of association between G-CSF and increased incidence of low-grade CRS and delayed cytopenias (day 30-100) that warrants confirmation in larger studies.

Introduction: In Cohorts 1+2 of the ZUMA-1 Phase 1/2 study of axi-cel in R/R LBCL, 11% and 31% of patients (pts) experienced Grade ≥3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or neurologic evenets), respectively. To minimize the toxicities seen with axi-cel, a safety management cohort, Cohort 6 (N=40), was added to evaluate whether prophylactic (ppx) corticosteroids (CS) could decrease grade ≥ 3 CRS or ICANS. The 2-year update of ZUMA-1 Cohort 6 showed no grade ≥3 CRS and 15% grade ≥3 ICANS without any difference in objective response rate (ORR) or complete response rate (CR) when compared to cohorts 1+2 (Oluwole Blood 2022). The FDA had previously approved an update to the prescribing information for axi-cel to include use of ppx CS across all approved indications in January 2022. However, ppx CS is not a mandatory standard treatment and we sought to establish the clinical outcomes in the real-world practice. Methods: To assess the clinical outcomes of pts receiving ppx CS, we conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis of pts with R/R LBCL who were treated with axi-cel since the FDA approval of ppx CS in January 2022. Baseline characteristics, toxicities, and efficacy were compared between the no ppx and ppx CS groups. CRS and ICANS were graded based on ASTCT 2019 guidelines. Event-free survival (EFS) was defined as time from axi-cel infusion to progression, re-treatment, or death. Overall survival (OS) was defined as time from axi-cel infusion to death due to any cause. Results: A total of 66 pts at 5 centers received axi-cel between Jan 31, 2022, and June 20, 2023. Thirty-five (52%) pts received ppx CS, with a median age of 63 years (26-85 years). By histology, 75% (n=50) of the pts had DLBCL, 13.6% (n=9) had high grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL), 9.1% (n=6) had transformed follicular lymphoma (TFL) and 1.5% (n=1) primary mediastinal LBCL (PMBCL). 59% of the pts (n=37) had IPI &gt;2 and 66% (n=43) had stage III/IV disease. The baseline characteristics at the time of apheresis are shown in Table 1 and were comparable between the 2 groups, except for more HGBL, fewer prior lines of therapy and longer median time from apheresis to axi-cel infusion in the ppx CS group. Among the entire cohort, only 37% (n=25) met ZUMA-1 eligibility criteria at the time of lymphodepletion, and 67% (n=44) needed bridging therapy. Any grade CRS occurred in 88% (n=58) of the pts, with grade ≥2 CRS in 38% (n=25). Any grade ICANS occurred in 55% (n=37) of the pts, with grade ≥2 ICANS in 41% (n=27). Any grade ICANS was significantly lower in the ppx CS group than the no ppx group (45.7% vs 65.5%). The rates of any grade CRS, grade ≥2 CRS, grade ≥2 ICANS, the median time to CRS onset, ICANS onset, CRS duration, and ICANS duration were comparable between the 2 groups. Tocilizumab and steroids use was similar between two groups with a trend towards less ICU admission in patients in the ppx CS group. Overall, 14 (21%) pts developed infectious complications within 30 days of axi-cel infusion. The day 30 ORR was 84% and was comparable between the 2 groups (77% in the ppx group vs 93% in the no ppx group). The CR was 45.7% in ppx CS group compared to 65.5% in no ppx group. At a median follow up of 219 days (27-1178), 37 (56.1%) pts had progressed and 25 (37.9%) pts had died. The number of days to progress was significantly lower in the ppx CS arm. The median EFS and OS were not significant between the 2 groups. Conclusions: This multicenter retrospective study showed that the efficacy of treatment with axi-cel in R/R LBCL did not decrease with the use of ppx CS. No significant differences in efficacy or CAR-T-associated toxicities were noted in the 2 groups, potentially due to selective use with patients at presumed higher risk of severe CRS and ICANS. A larger dataset and longer follow-up is needed for risk-stratified analysis and the study is ongoing.

Introduction: The real-world outcomes in patients (pts) with PCALCL in the era of targeted therapies like Brentuximab Vedotin (BV) is not well defined due to lack of large multicenter studies. We conducted a multicenter retrospective RWA to assess patient and disease characteristics, treatment patterns, survival outcomes and impact of novel therapies in this rare type of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL). Methods: A total of 95 adult (≥18 years) pts from 8 academic institutions in the United States diagnosed from 2010-2022 were included in the analysis. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Boards at the respective sites. Demographic and disease factors were summarized by descriptive statistics. Overall survival (OS) was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared using log rank method. Results: In our cohort, the median age at diagnosis was 63 (range 18-93) years. The majority of pts were male 60%, white 79%, and had good performance status (PS) ECOG 0-1 (93%). Median time from initial presentation to diagnosis was 1.8 (range 0-211) months. Most common initial skin presentation was tumor 46% (44/95), followed by plaques 27% (26/95) and patches 15% (14/95). No pt presented with erythroderma. Median size of the largest lesion was 2 (range 0.5-20) cm. 63% had early stage (IA-IIA) disease and 86% had &lt;5 skin lesions at the time of initial diagnosis. Furthermore, palpable lymph node (LN) (10%) and elevated LDH (18%) were uncommon at diagnosis. Initial treatments include localized radiation 60%, surgical excision 21% and topical steroids 11%. A small subset of pts received systemic treatments like CHOP 13% (12/95), BV 8% (8/95) and oral methotrexate 7% (7/95) as frontline therapy. A proportion of pts received XRT with CHOP (6/12) and BV (2/8). The overall response rate (ORR) to initial therapy was 68% (65/95) with 61% achieving a CR and 17% had primary refractory disease (stable and progressive disease). Relapse rate after 1st line therapy was 52% (49/95). In our cohort a total of 22 pts received BV after frontline therapy, of which 19 were BV naïve and 3 were re-treated. At the time of last follow up, 27% of our cohort were still on treatment, 78% were alive and 21% were dead; only 3% of deaths were attributed to the lymphoma. The median OS was 128 months (95% CI: 78.4-NA) (Figure 1) with a median follow up of 42 (range 0.5-123.5) months. The 5-year OS was 77%. On univariate analysis, older age (≥65 vs &lt;65 years) (median OS 78 vs 128 months; p=0.004) and higher number of lesions (5-10 vs &lt;5) (mOS 34 vs 128 months; p=&lt;0.0001) were significant associated with OS (Table 1). Type and size of the skin lesions, presence of palpable LN, elevated LDH, stage, and treatment modalities had no impact on OS. Results of multivariate analysis will be presented at the conference. Conclusion: In this large multicenter RWA of PCALCL, excellent long-term survival was observed following frontline therapies that were mostly skin directed. The use of systemic therapies including BV were infrequent even in relapsed disease. Older age and increased number of skin lesions were associated with poor OS.
