Abstract CLL/SLL and other CLPD are associated with an increased risk of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), pure red blood cell aplasia (PRBCA), and autoimmune agranulocytosis (AIAG). CLL patients with AIHA and ITP have advanced stage disease according to the Rai and Binet clinical classifications, implying a poor prognosis. However, previous community based studies suggest that patients with CLL and immune cytopenias could have a similar prognosis to other patients with CLL. To further define the prognostic significance of autoimmune cytopenia, we studied a cohort of patients seen at the Mayo Clinic Rochester (MCR). Methods The MCR Division of Hematology Chronic Lymphoproliferative Disease Database was used to identify patients with CLPD and autoimmune complications (AID) over a 10 year period (1 January 1995 to 30 December 2004). The clinical records of all patients with AID were thoroughly reviewed and collated with additional biological data. Results Forty-one (6%) of 665 patients with CLPD had AID. Of the patients with CLPD and AID, 21 (51%) had AIHA, 19 (46%) had ITP, 8 (20%) had PRBCA and 2 (5%) had AIAG. 17% of patients had 2 or more AID diagnoses. In 4 patients (10%) the diagnosis of AID preceded the diagnosis of CLPD, and in 7 patients (17%) the diagnoses were made concurrently. In the 32 patients with CLL, the median lymphocyte count at diagnosis was 24.8 x 109/L (5.18 – 121.8). Of 27 CLL patients who had interphase FISH analysis performed, 12 (44%) had abnormalities associated with poor prognosis CLL (17p13–11% 11q22–22%, 12+ 11%), and 15 (56%) had results associated with a more favorable prognosis (no detectable abnormalities or 13q14 deletion as the sole abnormality). CD38 was positive (> 30% of cells) in 38% of 21 tested patients. 39 patients required treatment for their AID. Treatment included corticosteroids (90%), splenectomy (31%), chemotherapy (31%), and rituximab (46%). Response rates following the first treatment for AID were: AIHA 53% complete response (CR) and 26% partial response (PR); ITP 56% CR and 22% PR; PRBCA 38% CR and 38% PR; AIAG no responses. Of the 41 patients seen over the 10 year period, there were 4 deaths (2 from CLPD). Conclusions This study of a large cohort of community and referred patients showed a prevalence of AID similar to that reported in community based studies. We found an equivalent prevalence of AIHA and ITP as well as a substantial number of patients with 2 or more AID complications. This could be due in part to detailed workup of all cytopenias. In addition, 27% of patients did not have a prior diagnosis of a B cell malignancy when presenting with AID. The measured biological risk factors (FISH anomalies and CD38) suggest that CLL patients with AID do not have a higher percentage of high risk CLL. The majority of patients responded well to AID treatment. Mortality appears to be lower than CLL patients with non-autoimmune cytopenia. These preliminary data suggest that AID is a common and often presenting complication of CLL/SLL and other CLPD. Early diagnosis and management of AID could lead to improved outcomes.

Abstract Background: It is believed that malignant cells can “condition” microenvironment to facilitate tumor cell survival. Our previous finding demonstrated that the culture of chronic lymphocytic leukemic (CLL) B-cells and marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) impacts both cell types bi-directionally (ASH 2007, Blood, 110: 337). Thus, MSC are capable of promoting CLL B-cell activation and proliferation while soluble factors secreted from CLL B cells were found to induce MSC activation in terms of both Erk and Akt activation. However, the exact mechanism and extent of this leukemic cell-MSC crosstalk has not been explored yet in CLL. Methods: To investigate if factors secreted from the CLL B-cells can modulate the migration and activation of marrow derived MSC, the conditioned medium (CM) of CLL B-cells was generated by collecting the supernatant of freshly isolated PBMC from CLL patients cultured for approximately 4 days at a concentration of 5 × 106 per ml in AIM-V medium. The migration and proliferation capacities of MSC were measured when they were cultured with or without the CM of CLL cells. Subsequently, the membrane receptors activated in MSC after 30 minutes of exposure to the CM of CLL cells were tested using a receptor tyrosine kinase array assay. In addition, we studied the downstream signal pathways of MSC by immunoblot approaches pre and post exposure to CLL CM and in some experiments we added specific, commercially available inhibitors for individual signaling pathways of interest. ELISA was used to measure angiogenic cytokines including PDGF, VEGF, BFGF and TSP-1 levels from CLL plasma as well as from CM of CLL B cells. Results: To test if CLL B-cells were capable of secreting soluble factors that activate or signal MSC, we examined the migration and proliferation capacities of CLL-MSC when they were exposed to CM generated from cultured CLL B-cells compared to AIM-V medium. Bone marrow MSC of CLL patients exhibited an increased migration as measured by a modified Boyden chamber assay (n = 4, mean increase of migration: 15%, p = 0.01) and proliferation as measured by direct cell counting with trypan blue staining (n =4, mean increase of total cell levels: 3.2 fold, p = 0.02) when cultured with CM of CLL B-cells compared to AIM-V medium. Using a receptor tyrosine kinase array assay (R&D system), we found that the sole growth factor receptor activated on CLL –MSC was PDGFRα when MSC were exposed to CM of cultured CLL B-cells for 30 minutes. This finding was further confirmed by demonstrating that PDGFRα was phosphorylated by immunoprecipitating MSC lysates with anti-PDGFRα followed by immunoblot with anti-phosphotyrosine antibody. We subsequently found that both PDGFRα and Akt were activated within 10 minutes of exposure by CM of CLL B-cells. When CLL-MSC were pretreated with a PDGFR inhibitor (PDGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor III, Calbiochem), an inhibitor known to block the ATP binding site of PDGFR, neither PDGFRα nor Akt activation was detectable when MSC were exposed to CM from CLL B-cells. These results imply that Akt is likely activated downstream of the PDGFR signal pathway in CLL-MSC. We next found that PDGF was secreted by CLL B-cells by detecting its presence using ELISA in both the CM (n = 12,113.7 ± 23.6 pg/ml, mean ± sem) and plasma of CLL patients (n = 21, 3296.7 ± 800.1 pg/ml). Since we have previously found that a switch in pro- vs. anti-angiogenic cytokines can occur when CLL B cells are added to MSC, we tested if PDGF can upregulate MSC angiogenic cytokine levels. When PDGF (5ng/ml, R&D system) was introduced to the CLL-MSC, we found that VEGF production, but not TSP-1 or BFGF significantly increased over control levels (n = 3, mean increase: 3.3 fold, p = 0.05) in the CM of the MSC harvested after a 72 h culture period. Conclusions: These results indicate that CLL B-cells are capable of activating MSC function by increasing their migration and proliferation capacity likely via signaling through the PDGF receptor. The PDGF activated MSC results in downstream Akt activation and the increased secretion of VEGF, a cytokine known to enhance CLL B-cellsurvival and drug resistance. Further interrogation of the mechanism(s) that regulate the interaction between leukemic CLL B cells and stromal cells should yield important information that can be used for therapeutic strategies in CLL.

Abstract Next‐generation sequencing identified about 60 genes recurrently mutated in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We examined the additive prognostic value of the total number of recurrently mutated CLL genes (i.e., tumor mutational load [TML]) or the individually mutated genes beyond the CLL international prognostic index (CLL‐IPI) in newly diagnosed CLL and high‐count monoclonal B‐cell lymphocytosis (HC MBL). We sequenced 59 genes among 557 individuals (112 HC MBL/445 CLL) in a multi‐stage design, to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for time‐to‐first treatment (TTT), adjusted for CLL‐IPI and sex. TML was associated with shorter TTT in the discovery and validation cohorts, with a combined estimate of continuous HR = 1.27 (CI:1.17‐1.39, P = 2.6 × 10 −8 ; c ‐statistic = 0.76). When stratified by CLL‐IPI, the association of TML with TTT was stronger and validated within low/intermediate risk (combined HR = 1.54, CI:1.37‐1.72, P = 7.0 × 10 −14 ). Overall, 80% of low/intermediate CLL‐IPI cases with two or more mutated genes progressed to require therapy within 5 years, compared to 24% among those without mutations. TML was also associated with shorter TTT in the HC MBL cohort (HR = 1.53, CI:1.12‐2.07, P = .007; c ‐statistic = 0.71). TML is a strong prognostic factor for TTT independent of CLL‐IPI, especially among low/intermediate CLL‐IPI risk, and a better predictor than any single gene. Mutational screening at early stages may improve risk stratification and better predict TTT.

Abstract To study the impact of dose modification and temporary interruption of ibrutinib in routine clinical practice, we conducted a retrospective study of consecutive CLL patients treated with ibrutinib outside the context of a clinical trial at Mayo Clinic, (Rochester, MN) from 11/2013 to 12/2017. Of 209 patients, 131 (74%) had unmutated IGHV , 38 (20%) had TP53 disruption, and 47 (22%) were previously untreated. A total of 87/209 (42%) patients started reduced dose ibrutinib (<420 mg daily; n = 43, physician preference; n = 33, concomitant medications; and n = 11, other). During 281 person‐years of treatment, 91/209 patients had temporary dose interruption (54%, nonhematologic toxicity; 29%, surgical procedures; 10%, hematologic toxicity; and 7%, other). After a median follow‐up of 24 months, the estimated median event‐free survival (EFS) was 36 months, and median overall survival (OS) was not reached. On multivariable analyses, temporary ibrutinib interruption (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.37, P = .006) and TP53 disruption at ibrutinib initiation (HR: 1.81, P = .048) were associated with shorter EFS, whereas only TP53 disruption (HR: 2.38, P = .015) was associated with shorter OS. Initial ibrutinib dose and dose modification during therapy did not appear to impact EFS or OS. These findings illustrate the challenges associated with continuous oral therapy with ibrutinib in patients with CLL.

7526 Background: Stem cell transplant (SCT) was considered to be beneficial in CLL patients with Richter transformation (RT). We report a single center experience of SCT for RT. Methods: CLL patients with biopsy-confirmed RT to DLBCL who underwent SCT were identified from Mayo Clinic CLL database, and clinical information was abstracted by chart review. Survival analysis was done with the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Twenty-four of 204 RT patients underwent SCT, 20 autologous and 4 allogeneic. The median lines of prior CLL therapy was 1 (range 0-4). Only 4 patients were exposed to ibrutinib prior to RT. The median age at RT diagnosis was 62 (range 41-73). Five of 17 (29%) patients had bulky disease (≥ 5 cm), 12 of 20 (60%) had elevated LDH, and 6 of 15 (40%) had TP53 disruption (del(17p) or TP53 mutation). The median lines of RT therapy prior to SCT was 2 (range 1-4); treatments included R-CHOP-like alone (n = 7), platinum-based alone (n = 1), both R-CHOP-like and platinum-based (n = 11), novel agents (n = 2), and high dose MTX-based (n = 3). Response prior to SCT was CR in 12 (50%) and PR in 12 (50%) patients. The median time from RT diagnosis to SCT was 6.8 months (range 3.3-42.3). After a median follow-up of 52.7 months after SCT, there were 10 RT relapses, 4 CLL progression, and 11 deaths (7 RT, 1 CLL and 3 unrelated). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 28.5 months (95% CI 8.3-NA; 1-year PFS 61.8%, 2-year PFS 50.5%). The median post-SCT survival was 56.3 months (95% CI 30.6-76.6; 2-year survival 82.0%, 4-year survival 65.6%). Elevated LDH was associated with worse PFS (median 8.9 months vs NA, P= 0.014) and a trend of worse post-SCT survival (53.7 vs 67.4 months, P= 0.153). Other factors including age, prior CLL treatment (untreated vs treated), bulky disease, response prior to SCT, and TP53 disruption were not associated with PFS or post-SCT survival. Among the 4 allogeneic SCT patients, 1 had RT relapse 10.5 months after SCT and was treated with venetoclax, ibrutinib and obinutuzumab and remained alive at last follow-up (12.9 months after SCT). All 3 other patients remained in remission and alive at last follow up (15.6, 16.1 and 108.5 months after SCT, respectively). Conclusions: SCT may benefit select RT patients. The role of SCT in the novel agent era needs further study.

7522 Background: Ibrutinib therapy is associated with an increased risk (~15%) of AF. An accurate risk assessment model for the development of AF in pts starting ibrutinib is not established, and outcomes after AF are not well described. Methods: An IRB approved retrospective review of CLL pts treated with ibrutinib at Mayo Clinic between Oct 2012 and Nov 2018 was conducted. Results: 299 pts were identified with a total of 565 years of ibrutinib exposure (Table). After a median follow-up of 24 months (range 0–70 months), 51 pts developed treatment-emergent AF (13 [25%] CTCAE 3 or higher). Our study assessed 3 clinical prediction models, the Framingham (Schanbel:Lancet 2009), Italian (Visentin:Blood 2018;132:3118), and Shanafelt (Shanafelt:Leuk Lymp; 2017) risk scores. Based on a lower Akaike information criteria, the Italian score was best able to predict risk of treatment emergent AF (2-year risk of AF with score 0 6%; 1-2 8%; 3-4 26%; 5+ 47%). Thirty (61%) pts were treated with medical therapy for AF (27 rate control; 2 rhythm control; 1 both). 16 (31%) pts underwent interventional therapy (3 AV node ablation; 11 cardioversion; and 2 pacemaker). Twelve (23%) pts temporarily held ibrutinib and resumed their original dose, 22 (43%) pts continued reduced dose ibrutinib and 11 (22%) continued their initial ibrutinib dose. Six (12%) pts permanently discontinued ibrutinib. Of 51 pts with treatment-emergent AF, 41 (80%) had a CHA2DS2-VASc score of ≥2 (41% received anticoagulation alone; 12% received antiplatelet therapy alone; 10% received both). No pt developed a thrombotic stroke after treatment-emergent AF. Two major bleeds, (1 GI and 1 intracranial) occurred, one in a pt on concomitant antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy, and one in a pt receiving neither. The development of AF was associated with shorter event-free survival (HR 2.5, 95%CI 1.5-4.2, p<.001) and shorter overall survival (HR 3.5, 95%CI 2.0-6.3, p<.001). Conclusions: The Italian score was the best predictor of AF development in this cohort of ibrutinib treated pts. Although the vast majority of pts who develop AF after ibrutinib are able to continue therapy, the occurrence of AF appears to be associated with shorter EFS and OS. [Table: see text]

Background The CLL international prognostic index (CLL-IPI) is a validated staging system for newly diagnosed CLL patients that combines age, clinical stage, serum Beta-2 microglobulin, TP53, and IGHV mutation status into a single score and stratifies CLL patients into four prognostic risk groups with a c-statistic=0.72. Next-generation sequencing identified ~60 putative driver genes recurrently mutated in CLL, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified 41 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with CLL risk. We previously showed that a polygenic risk score (PRS) of the weighted average of the number of risk alleles among these 41 SNPs is associated with risk of both CLL and MBL. We and others have also shown that the tumor mutational load (TML), i.e., the total number of somatically mutated driver genes, is associated with time to first treatment (TTT). Herein, we examine whether TML and PRS add prognostic value beyond CLL-IPI for disease progression in a cohort of CLL and high-count MBLs. Methods We used the Mayo Clinic CLL resource to identify newly diagnosed (&lt;2 years) previously untreated CLL and high-count MBL patients based on the 2008 International Workshop CLL (IWCLL) criteria . We extracted DNA from CD5+/CD19+ clonal B-cells and sequenced the coding regions of 59 recurrently mutated CLL driver genes using a custom SureSelect panel and Illumina HiSeq 4000. The median coverage depth per sample was 2737X. Somatic mutations were called using MuTect2 in tumor-only mode. Germline variants were eliminated based on minor allele frequencies &gt;0.01%, and by those identified in 1000 Genomes Project, ExAC and/or ESP6500 databases, unless present in known mutation hotspots or COSMIC. After filtering high/moderate impact mutations, we calculated the TML. Peripheral blood DNA was genotyped on Illumina Omni Express array; after extensive quality control metrics, we calculated the germline PRS as the weighted average of the number of risk alleles among the CLL susceptibility SNPs. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) to test for associations with TTT. We analyzed the low/intermediate risk groups and the high/very high risk groups in stratified analyses and tested for interactions between CLL-IPI and TML or PRS. Survival curves are displayed using the Kaplan-Meier method using P-values from the log-rank test; the PRS is displayed by tertile categories. Results Of 166 patients (120 CLL, 46 MBL), 67% were male and the median age at diagnosis was 62 years (range: 28-85). The median follow-up was 5.3 years, and 73 were treated for progressive disease as defined by the 2018 IWCLL criteria. Low risk CLL-IPI comprised 51%, intermediate risk 27%, high risk 18%, and very-high risk 4%. The most commonly somatically mutated genes were TP53 (8%), CHD2 (8%), BIRC3 (8%), SF3B1 (7%), and NOTCH1 (7%). We found that 42%, 32%, and 26% of patients had 0, 1, or 2+ genes with somatic mutations, respectively. The median PRS was 8.3 (range: 6.1-11.3) which is consistent with our prior PRS study on CLL/MBL and higher than 7.53 found in 7983 controls from our prior work. When we modeled TML, PRS, sex, CLL/MBL status and CLL-IPI together with the joint effects of CLL-IPI with TML and PRS, both interactions were significant in the model (P=0.008 for TML*CLL-IPI and P=0.014 for PRS*CLL-IPI), with c-statistic=0.81 (CI:0.77-0.85). When we stratified by CLL-IPI, TML was associated with shorter TTT in the low/intermediate risk (N=129, continuous HR=2.36 per TML category, CI: 1.61-3.47, P=1.3x10-5, Figure 1.A), but there was no evidence of an association in the high/very-high risk (N=37, continuous HR=1.12 per TML category, CI: 0.70-1. 78, P=0.64, Figure 1.B), after adjusting for PRS, sex, and CLL/MBL status. However, the PRS was associated with a shorter TTT in the high/very-high risk (continuous HR=1.77 per SD, CI: 1.00-3.12, P=0.048, Figure 1.D), with no evidence of an association in the low/intermediate risk (continuous HR=0.95 per SD, CI: 0.95-1.29, P=0.74, Figure 1.C), after adjusting for TML, sex, and CLL/MBL status. Conclusions In our study, TML was prognostic among the low/intermediate CLL-IPI risk groups while the PRS was prognostic among the high/very-high CLL-IPI risk groups. Sequencing CLL driver genes and genotyping relevant germline SNPs at time of diagnosis may provide incremental value over the CLL-IPI in predicting TTT among patients with CLL/MBL.

Targeted agents have greatly improved outcomes for patients (pts) with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and other B cell lymphomas; however, single agents have been limited by intolerance, resistance and depth/durability of responses. Current novel targeted agent combinations may improve depth of response, but such "full dose" strategies have been associated with significant AEs, dose reductions/interruptions and discontinuations. Our in vitro & in vivo screening/optimization studies identified that concurrent inhibition of BTK & mTOR targets plus IMiD at low doses of each inhibitor can synergistically kill B-cell malignancies and may address drug-resistance. DTRM-555 is an optimized oral triplet combination of a novel BTK inhibitor DTRMWXHS-12 (DTRM-12) with everolimus (EV) & pomalidomide (POM). This once daily therapy was tested in a stepwise, phase I, US multicenter study in patients with highest unmet medical needs including r/r CLL, Richter's transformation (RT) of CLL, DLBCL, transformed B-cell lymphomas. We conducted a 3+3 design phase I, first human trial exploring DTRM-555 in pts ≥18 years, ECOG PS ≤1 with CLL, B-cell NHL, or Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) with no available standard therapy (NCT02900716). Our goal was to determine optimal doses for triplet combination therapy through 3 escalating phases of study: DTRM-12 in escalating doses (50, 100, 200, & 300 mg/day) in Part Ia, DTRM-12 at 200 mg or 300 mg & EV at 5 mg (doublet or DTRM-505) in Part Ib Arm A while DTRM-12 at 200 mg or 300 mg, EV at 5 mg & POM at 2 mg in Part Ib Arm B. For all arms, treatment was administered for 21 consecutive days of a 28-day cycle, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Safety was the primary endpoint, and the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) period was cycle 1. Secondary endpoints included response (iwCLL 2018 or Cheson 2014), progression free survival, duration of response and pharmacokinetics. Intra-patient migration between arms (Mono to doublet to triplet) was permitted if subsequent doses were tolerated. The trial commenced 9/27/2016 and completed enrollment 7/25/2019. Thirty-three pts were enrolled, including 2 screen failures and 4 intra-cohort migrations, with r/r DLBCL (n=8), CLL/SLL (n=5), RT (n=6), FL (n=5), MCL (n=4), MZL/LPL (n=3), HL (n=2). 30 of 31 treated pts were evaluated: 8 pts participated in phase Ia (DTRM-12) while 23 pts were treated on phase Ib combinations (DTRM-505 & DTRM-555). Baseline characteristics: 70% male (n=23), median age 70 years (range 46-94) and 94% white. Median prior therapies were 3 (range 1-10), 53% had been treated with ≥1 prior targeted agent (i.e., CD19/CD3 bispecific antibody, obtinutuzumab, pembrolizumab, nivolumab, ibrutinib, venetoclax, PI3k-i), CAR-T or HSCT. 35% pts were previously treated with ibrutinib. Table 1 describes Grade (Gr) 3 and 4 AEs (all causality, stratified by treatment arm). Regarding safety, AEs were manageable, with a total of 5 DLTs were observed: 2 (Gr 3 febrile neutropenia, URI) in part Ib arm A, 3 (Gr 4 thrombocytopenia, Gr 3 diarrhea, G3 febrile neutropenia) in Part Ib arm B. No MTD was reached for the mono & doublet arms, with the MTD of the triplet determined to be DTRM-12 200 mg, EV 5 mg, & POM 2 mg. Spider plot (Figure 1a) shows the clinical response for individual CLL and lymphoma pts treated with mono, doublet and triplet therapies. Depth and durability of response improved with combination therapies (vs. mono). Of note, 48% of all patients had a ≥50% reduction in sum of the products of lymph node diameters. Representative PET-CT scans are in Figure 1b-c. Responses in multi-refractory pts are ongoing (including 15+ mos in a pt with r/r DLBCL and 5+ mos PR in a pt aged &gt; 90 yrs with r/r DLBCL; 4+ & 13+ mos PRs in two pts with RT). DTRM-12 plasma concentrations were unaffected by EV & POM (Once Daily Oral Therapies) in Figure 1d. The clinical trial met its primary endpoint as the triple combination DTRM-555 had an acceptable safety profile. Dose dependent drug levels with minimal inter-pt variations were observed in all arms, supporting once daily oral administration of this low-dose combination therapy. Encouraging clinical activity was observed in several high-risk, multi-refractory CLL and lymphoma pts, including those previously treated with ibrutinib. Thus synthetic lethality is a viable treatment approach. A phase II US expansion study is underway targeting pts with transformed lymphomas (follicular or prior CLL) and r/r DLBCL cohorts. Table 1.
