Background: Clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS), a precursor of myeloid neoplasms (MN), is characterized by one or more persistent cytopenias, and acquired mutations in myeloid malignancy-associated genes. ZRSR2, located at Xp22.2, is one of the MN-associated genes and a member of the spliceosome family of genes. Aim: Describe the clinical characteristics, pattern of progression, and genetics of ZRSR2 mutation (ZRSR2m)-harboring CCUS patients. Methods: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed for 9320 patients between 2016-2023 at Mayo Clinic. After obtaining IRB approval, clinical characteristics and results of bone marrow morphology, cytogenetics, and molecular studies were abstracted. Overall Survival (OS) was calculated using Kaplan-Meier, from the date of NGS until death or last follow-up. The ZRSR2m MN control cohort included 125 patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), and MDS/MPN overlap. BlueSky Statistics V10.3.1 was used for statistical analysis. Results: ZRSR2m was detected in 39 CCUS patients, all of whom were males. Concurrent hematological neoplasms were identified in 8 patients (21%). Five (13%) had plasma cell proliferative disorders including 3 multiple myeloma, 1 MGUS, and 1 AL amyloidosis. There were also 2 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and 1 with VEXAS syndrome. Prior chemotherapy, with or without radiotherapy, was given to 4 patients (10.3%), whereas 13 patients (33%) had received previous immunotherapy. Abnormal cytogenetics were detected in 11 patients (29%), with the most common abnormality being +8 (n=5, 13%). In 23 patients (59%), an absolute monocyte count of ≥0.5 x 10^9/L was documented which could be classified as clonal cytopenia with monocytosis of unknown significance (CCMUS). ZRSR2 median gender-corrected VAF among CCUS patients was 32% (range, 1-45). Isolated ZRSR2m was found in 6 patients (15%), and 1 (3%) had multiple ZRSR2m. The median number of co-mutations was 1 (range, 0-3). Sequential NGS, available in 13 patients, showed that 1 patient developed 3 ZRSR2 mutations and 2 ZRSR2 VUS. TET2 was the most common co-mutation (n=25, 64%). Additionally, TET2 was an isolated co-mutation in 18 patients (46%). ASXL1 co-mutation was the second most common (n=8, 20.5%), while other less common co-mutations were IDH1, IDH2, SRSF2, SF3B1, TP53, GATA2, and KDM6A. Pre-ZF1 was the most commonly mutated region in ZRSR2 mutations (n=23, 59%). With a median follow-up of 32 months, 9 (23%) of the ZRSR2m CCUS patients progressed to MNs, none progressed to AML. Five (55.6%) progressed to MDS, 4 were subclassified as low blast (LB) and 1 as increased blast-1 (IB1). Four (44.4%) progressed to MDS/MPN overlap syndrome, with 3 subclassified as chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). None of the patients with isolated ZRSR2m progressed to MDS or CMML. None of the patients who received prior immunotherapy progressed to MDS. Thirty-six (92.3%) patients had high-risk CCUS (Malcovati et al, Blood 2017) while 3 had intermediate risk with no low-risk patients. None of the intermediate-risk patients progressed to MDS, while 5 patients of the high-risk (13.9%) progressed to MDS (p=1). Twelve (31%) patients died, and the median overall survival (mOS) was 56 months. Higher hemoglobin levels improved OS (HR=0.59, p=0.02), while higher adjusted ZRSR2 VAF worsened OS (HR=1.05, p=0.017). Patients with TET2 as isolated co-mutations showed better mOS than the rest of the cohort (not reached vs 41 months, p= 0.03). ZRSR2m CCUS patients showed a trend suggestive of better mOS than ZRSR2m with MNs including AML (56 vs 30 months, p=0.14), and with excluding AML (56 vs 39 months, p=0.24). On multivariate analysis, both Hgb (HR=0.61, p=0.03) and isolated TET2 co-mutation (HR=0.19, p=0.04) retained statistical significance. mOS was not affected by prior history of treatment, number of co-mutations, isolated ZRSR2, ASXL1 co-mutation, or MDS progression. Conclusion: ZRSR2m CCUS cohort was exclusively males. There was a significant number of patients with concurrent hematological malignancy or a history of prior chemo- and/or immuno-therapy (36%). Most patients had high-risk CCUS but showed a low rate of progression to MNs, especially in those with isolated ZRSR2. Additionally, patients with isolated TET2 co-mutation had better survival, indicating that TET2 confers a favorable prognosis among ZRSR2m CCUS patients.

Background: SETBP1 gene, located on 18q12.3, is a major oncogene in myeloid neoplasms. GATA2 gene, located on 3q21, is one of the six GATA transcription factors regulating gene expression via two conserved zinc finger domains (ZF). Previous data suggested that in patients with germline GATA2 mutation (m), acquisition of a somatic SETBP1 mutation (m) was associated with leukemic transformation among patients with excess blast MDS and CMML. Aim: To study the characteristics of patients with somatic SETBP1-GATA2 mutated myeloid neoplasms. Methods: This study is a retrospective study at Mayo Clinic. After obtaining IRB approval, we retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients who had myeloid NGS panel results between 2016-2023. All data were recorded at time of first NGS. Cohort 1 was defined as patients with SETBP1m and GATA2m, cohort 2; patients with SETBP1m and GATA2wt, and cohort 3; patients with SETBP1wt and GATA2m. Germline work-up was not performed in the majority of GATA2 cases. We stratified risk based on the European LeukemiaNet 2022 guidelines for AML, IPSS-M for MDS and MDS/MPN, and CPSS-M for CMML. Overall survival (OS) was calculated from date of NGS to date of last follow-up based on Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox regression analysis. For statistical analysis, we used BlueSky Statistics V10.3.1. Results: General characteristics: 114 patients had SETBP1m (median VAF= 39%), and 63 patients had GATA2m (median VAF= 35%). Nine patients had co-occurring SETBP1m/GATA2m mutations (cohort 1). 4/9 patients in cohort 1 had MDS/MPN (44.4%), while only 13/105 in cohort 2 (12.4%) had MDS/MPN (P=0.02). AML was seen in 2 patients in cohort 1 (22.2%) compared to18 in cohort 2 (17.1%) (p=0.6). The median WBC count was 22.9 x 109 cells/L among cohort 1 compared to 9 x 109 cells/L among cohort 2 cases (p=0.09). BM blasts were higher in cohort 3 (7%) compared to cohort 1 (5%) and cohort 2 (3%) (p=0.09), while peripheral blasts tended to be lower in cohort 2 (1%) in comparison to cohort 1 (6%) and cohort 3 (4%) (p=0.48). Genetic characteristics: In cohort 1,7 GATA2m clustered in zinc finger 2 (ZF2) (77.8%), while the other two mutations were outside the ZF domains (22.2%). This was higher than the ZF2 mutated cases in cohort 3 (46.3%, p=0.1). Abnormal cytogenetics were seen in 66.7% of cohort 1 patients and 45% of cohort 2 (p= 0.3). Two cases with trisomy 8 were seen among patients in cohort 1 (22.2%), compared to only 4.9% in cohort 2 (p=0.09). Two incidences of isochromosome 17q [i(17q)] were seen in cohort 1 (22.2%), versus 5 cases in cohort 2 (4.8%) and 1 case in cohort 3 (1.9%) (p= 0.068). Co-mutations: The median number of co-mutationswas 3 in both cohort 1 and cohort 2 (p= 0.6). In cohort 1, ASXL1 and SRSF2 mutations were the most common (7/9, 77.8%) followed by NRAS (22.2%) and TET2 (22.2%). 77.8% of cohort 1 patients had SRSF2 co-mutation, compared to 44.8% in cohort 2 (p=0.08), and 27.8% in cohort 3 (p= 0.006). No isolated SETBP1m/GATA2m cases were found. Survival: Patients in cohort 1 had a numerically higher median OS compared to those in cohort 2 (19.4 vs 15.4 months, p= 0.3). When comparing with the cohort 3, patients in cohort 1 tended to have better outcomes (median OS= 19.4 vs 13.8 months, p=0.8). Among cohort 1, SRSF2 co-mutation was associated with worse survival outcomes compared to patients with SRSF2wt (median OS= 5.3 vs 19.4 months, p= 0.02); this association was not found in cohort 2 (12.5 vs 18.4 months, p= 0.3) and cohort 3 (13.2 vs 17.1 months, p= 0.4). Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation was associated with favorable survival outcomes in all cohorts (cohort 1: 22.6 vs 7.8 months, p= 0.1; cohort 2: 20.9 vs 12.5 months, p= 0.04; cohort 3: 25.6 vs 13.1 months, p= 0.03). Conclusion: SETBP1m/GATA2m myeloid neoplasms included a significantly higher proportion of MDS/MPN overlap cases in comparison with the SETBP1m/GATA2wt group. The SETBP1m/GATA2m group had a higher proportion of ZF2 GATA2m and SRSF2 co-mutation compared to patients with SETBP1wt/GATA2m. Survival of SETBP1m/GATA2m patients was not worse compared to SETBP1wt/GATA2m or SETBP1m/GATA2wt.

Background and Methods: IEC-HS is a hyperinflammatory state with high morbidity and mortality. Effective interventions to reverse the process early in the clinical course may be critical to improve outcomes. We previously examined cytokine differences between IEC-HS and other secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, and found significant differences in the patterns and outcomes.(1) This study examines cytokine profiles (CP) of patients treated with CAR-T from 9/2019 to 3/2024 who developed CRS, MAS-L and IEC-HS. Demographics and lab results were compared among the three groups and correlated with outcomes. Results: CP was tested in 113 of 366 CAR-T patients: 74 with CRS, 19 with MAS-L, and 20 with IEC-HS. The racial distribution was 93% White/Caucasian, 2% Black or African American, 1% Asian, 1% Native American and 3% other or unavailable. No differences were seen in demographics between groups except a higher percentage of patients with ECOG performance status ≥2 in IEC-HS (p=0.037). Incidence of IEC-HS by disease: 3.6% (7/193) in lymphoma, 5% (8/159) myeloma and 28.5% (4/14) B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (p=0.0002). Incidence of IEC-HS by CAR-T product: 3% (4/150) in Axi-cel, 23% (6/26) in Brexu-cel, 8% (1/13) in Tisa-cel, 5% each (3/60) in Cilta-cel and Ide-cel, and 0/17 in Liso-cel (p=0.001). Prior to lymphodepletion, labs were already different among the CRS, MAS-L, and IEC-HS groups: hemoglobin (g/dL: 11.1, 9.6, 8.45); platelets (x109/L: 168, 116, 52.5); ferritin (µg/L: 115, 946, 1944). CP was started when patients needed a second dose of tocilizumab or concern for developing MAS-L/IEC-HS, and continued daily until clinical improvement or resolution of inflammatory state. Tocilizumab and dexamethasone use were similar across groups. Other therapies used were vasopressors (3%, 10.5%, 45%; p<0.0001), Methylprednisolone (20%, 31.6%, 50%; p=0.027), Anakinra (12%, 63%, 85%; p<0.0001), Siltuximab (9.5%, 16%, 30%; p=0.06), Basiliximab (30% of IEC-HS), and continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (30% of IEC-HS). Among the first CP, the CRS group had lower levels of cytokines (in pg/mL) compared to MAS-L and IEC-HS groups: TNF (31, 62.9, 47.7), IL-10 (29.3, 97.7, 169), IL-18 (794, 1353, 2011), IFN-gamma (74, 281, 250), MCP-1 (689, 2722, 2485.5), MIP-1 alpha (220, 234, 247.5), IL-6 (>315: 45%, 79%, 70%), soluble IL-2R alpha (>4000: 45%, 84%, 70%). The percentage of patients who received anakinra before CP1 were 4% (CRS), 21% (MAS-L) and 25% (IEC-HS) (p=0.007). IL-1 beta was below threshold among all patients who received anakinra in CRS and MAS-L and 75% in IEC-HS, suggesting rapid and effective IL-1 suppression by anakinra except in IEC-HS. Cytokines trends 24 hours and 48 hours after the first CP differed between MAS-L and IEC-HS. MAS-L had decreased TNF (62.9, 40.4, 18.5) and MCP-1 (2722, 355, 104) while these cytokines remained elevated or increased in IEC-HS (TNF: 47.7, 105.5, 62.6; MCP-1: 2486, 2276, 1585). IL-18 was minimally elevated in MAS-L (1353, 1955, 3068) and significantly increased in IEC-HS (2011, 2420, 4048). Notably, CP2 and CP3 levels of these cytokines in IEC-HS were statistically significantly higher than corresponding CPs among CRS and MAS-L. In addition, patients who died with persistent E. faecium bacteremia had higher IL-18 on CP3. Infections occurred in 43%, 58%, and 85% respectively (p=0.002), including E. faecium bacteremia (3%, 5%, 35%; p=0.0004), CMV viremia (30% of IEC-HS patients vs. 11% of non-IEC-HS; p=0.025), and invasive fungal infections (15% of IEC-HS patients; p=0.0001). Between the IEC-HS and non-IEC-HS groups, day 100 non-relapse mortality was 35% vs. 0 (p<0.0001), day 100 all-cause mortality was 45% vs. 3% (p<0.0001), and E. faecium bacteremia-related deaths were 50% vs. 1% (p<0.0001). Conclusions: CRS, MAS-L andIEC-HS are known complications of CAR-T. Cytokine-directed therapy can modify the cytokine milieu and control the inflammatory process. However, excess immunosuppression may result in life-threatening infections. Further studies are needed to identify optimal biomarker-guided immunosuppressive strategies to control the inflammatory cascade, while avoiding excess immunosuppression. References: 1.

Background Blast or accelerated phase myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN-BP/AP) carries a dismal prognosis, with 3-year survival estimates of <5% (BCJ 2023;108). Patients with MPN-BP/AP were excluded from venetoclax (Ven) plus hypomethylating agent (HMA) clinical trials for acute myeloid leukemia (NEJM 2020;383:617). In the current retrospective study, we examined response patterns and long-term survival of newly-diagnosed MPN-BP/AP patients who received treatment with Ven+HMA, outside of clinical trials. Methods Newly-diagnosed patients with MPN-BP/AP treated with Ven+HMA at the Mayo Clinic, between March 2019 and May 2024, were retrospectively reviewed. Diagnostic criteria were according to the International Consensus Classification (Blood 2022;140:1200). Cytogenetic and molecular studies were performed by conventional karyotype and next-generation sequencing, respectively. All patients received at least one cycle of Ven+HMA (azacitidine 75 mg/m2 days 1-7 or decitabine 20 mg/m2 days 1-5). Response was assessed according to the 2022 European Leukemia Net criteria (Blood 2022;140:1345). Standard statistical analyses were performed using JMP Pro (Version 17.1.0). Results Patient characteristics 70 patients (median age 73 years, 59% males, 48% splenomegaly >14 cm, 4% isolated myeloid sarcoma) with newly-diagnosed MPN-BP (n=58) or AP (n=12) received Ven+HMA with (n=13) or without (n=57) concomitant JAK2 inhibitor. Driver mutation distribution was 69% JAK2, 21% CALR, 6% MPL, and 4% triple negative. Mutations involved ASXL1 (31%), TP53 (28%), TET2 (28%), RUNX1 (25%), SRSF2 (18%), IDH2 (12%), U2AF1 (11%), DNMT3A (9%), IDH1 (7%), and K/NRAS (7%). Karyotype was abnormal in 50 (76%) of 66 informative cases, of which 28 (56%) were complex (CK). Median TP53 mutation variant allele frequency (VAF) was 30% (8-96%) and all evaluable cases displayed CK (n=18). Response and Survival Complete remission (CR; 21%) or CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi; 19%) was documented in 28 (40%) patients with residual MPN in 18 (64%) patients. Median response duration was 5.5 months (1-60 months). After a median follow up of 7 months (1-62 months), 48 (69%) deaths, 13 relapses (46%), and 15 (21%) allogeneic stem cell transplants (ASCT; 12 in CR/CRi) were recorded. Median overall survival (OS) was 9 months and was superior with ASCT (median 22 vs. 8 months; p=0.01). In univariate analysis, transplant-censored survival was superior with CR/CRi (12 vs. 5 months; p<0.01) and IDH1 mutation (33 vs. 8 months; p=0.04) and inferior with CK (7 vs. 10 months; p=0.05), TP53 mutation (5 vs. 10 months; p<0.01), post polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (post-PV MF) (3 vs. 9 months; p=0.01), and splenomegaly >14 cm (5 vs. 16 months; p<0.01). Multivariable analysis confirmed the negative survival impact of not achieving CR/CRi (HR 3.8; p<0.01) and presence of TP53 mutation (HR 4.0; p<0.01); median survival (1/3-year survival rate) was 3 months (10%/0%) in TP53 mutated patients not achieving CR/CRi (n=11) vs. 27 months (65%/28%) in TP53 unmutated cases achieving CR/CRi (n=19) (p < 0.01). Median survival in patients with TP53 mutations or CK who achieved CR/CRi (n=7; 7 months) was inferior to that in treatment responders without TP53 mutations or CK (n=18; 23 months; p=0.01). CR/CRi rates in the presence vs. absence of TP53 mutations were 42% vs. 39% (p=0.80) and of CK (25% vs. 50% (p=0.04). Importantly, responses in the presence of TP53 mutations or CK were too short-lived to allow successful bridging to ASCT (median 2 vs. 9 months; p<0.01). Additional predictors of inferior treatment response included splenomegaly >14 cm (24% vs. 53%; p=0.01), and post-PV MF (0% vs. 46%; p<0.01) while SRSF2 (67% vs. 34%; p=0.04) and IDH2 mutations (75% vs. 35%; p=0.03) were associated with favorable response. In multivariable analysis, CK (p=0.04) and splenomegaly >14 cm (p=0.01) remained independent predictors of inferior response. The use of concomitant JAK2 inhibitor therapy did not impact treatment response (CR/CRi 46% vs. 39%; p=0.62) or survival (median 9 vs. 8 months; p=0.71). Conclusions TP53 mutations and CK undermine the value of Ven+HMA, with or without concomitant JAK2 inhibitor, in enabling successful bridging of newly-diagnosed MPN-BP/AP to ASCT. An alternative treatment approach is advised, in the particular scenario, while the observed 3-year survival rate of 28%, in treatment responders without TP53 mutations, is encouraging.

Introduction Oligomonocytic chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (OM-CMML) is defined by relative monocytosis ≥ 10% and an absolute monocyte count (AMC) between ≥ 0.5 and < 1.0 x109/L. The 5th ed WHO and International Consensus Classifications lowered the AMC threshold to ≥ 0.5 x10/9L for CMML diagnosis, thereby incorporating OM-CMML (Khoury, 2022; Arber, 2022). However, prior reports differ as to whether OM-CMML is a distinct CMML subtype. This multi-center study compares the clinical, molecular, and survival features of OM-CMML with myelodysplastic (MD, WBC < 13.0 x109/L) and myeloproliferative (MP, WBC ≥ 13.0 x109/L) CMML with an AMC ≥1.0. Methods After IRB approval, patients with CMML from Mayo Clinic (n = 400, 47%) and MD Anderson Cancer Center (n = 449, 53%) were identified retrospectively. Analyses considered clinical, laboratory, and next generation sequencing parameters at diagnosis or first referral (in chronic phase). Categorical variables were compared by Fisher exact or Pearson χ2 tests and continuous variables by Mann-Whitney U or ANOVA tests. Survival was assessed via the Kaplan-Meier method with outcomes censored at allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT). P < 0.05 was considered significant. Calculations used BlueSky Statistics (v10.3.1). Results A molecularly annotated cohort of 849 patients with CMML (median age 71 years, 32% female, 90% white, median follow up 31 months [mo]) was categorized as OM-CMML (n = 57, 7%), MD-CMML (n = 394, 46%), and MP-CMML (n = 391, 46%). There were no differences in age or sex across subtypes. No clinical differences were observed between OM-CMML and MD-CMML, with similar hematologic parameters, karyotype distributions, Mayo-Molecular (Patnaik, 2014) or CPSS-Molecular (Elena, 2016) risk stratifications, and rates of leukemic transformation (12% vs 12%, p = 0.98) and death (35% vs 43%, p = 0.27). Cases of OM-CMML had lower WBC counts (median 4.4 vs 24.7 x109/L, p < 0.0001), fewer circulating immature myeloid cells (23% vs 57%, p < 0.0001) and fewer marrow blasts (median 3% vs 4%, p = 0.0065) than MP-CMML. Comparatively, OM-CMML cases were overrepresented in the lower-risk groups of the CPSS-Molecular and Mayo-Molecular models (p < 0.0001). Leukemic transformation (12% vs 20%, p = 0.015) and death (35% vs 52%, p = 0.034) rates were higher in the MP-CMML cohort. Molecular profiles were similar between OM-CMML and MD-CMML, including median number of genes mutated (3 vs 3, p = 0.88). Frequencies of ASXL1 (39% vs 38%, p = 0.91), SRSF2 (48% vs 43%, p = 0.49), DNMT3A (7% vs 5%, p = 0.60), and SF3B1 (4% vs 7%, p = 0.48) mutations were also similar. TET2 mutation frequency was higher in OM-CMML (70% vs 55%, p = 0.031) and occurred in isolation more frequently (12% vs 6%, p = 0.048) compared to MD-CMML. Neither median number of TET2 mutations (1 vs 2, p = 0.87), nor TET2 variant allele fractions (41% vs 44%, p = 0.19) were different between the two groups. Compared to OM-CMML, patients with MP-CMML were more likely to have mutations in ASXL1 (39% vs 56%, p = 0.017), EZH2 (0% vs 9%, p = 0.019), JAK2 (0% vs 9%, p = 0.019), NRAS (7% vs 25%, p = 0.0024), and SETBP1 (2% vs 13%, p = 0.021). RAS family (CBL, BRAF, KRAS, NRAS, PTPN11; 25% vs 54%, p < 0.0001) and signaling pathway (CSF3R, FLT3, JAK2, SH2B3; 2% vs 14%, p = 0.0078) mutations were also more frequent whereas spliceosome mutations (SF3B1, SRSF2, U2AF1, ZRSR2; 61% vs 46%, p = 0.033) were less frequent in MP-CMML. The median (95% CI) overall survival (OS) of OM-CMML patients was 44 (38 - not reached) mo compared to 45 (34 - 60) mo in MD-CMML (p = 0.76) and 23 (20 - 29) mo in MP-CMML (p < 0.0032). Similar results were obtained when comparing the acute leukemia-free survival (LFS) of the OM-CMML (41 mo), MD-CMML (39 mo), and MP-CMML (19 mo) groups. At last follow up (medians 42 and 62 mo, respectively), 33% of evaluable OM-CMML patients had progressed to MD-CMML and 28% of MD-CMML patients had progressed to MP-CMML. No patient with OM-CMML progressed directly to MP-CMML. Conclusions These data show that OM-CMML and MD-CMML are a relatively homogenous subset of patients with similar clinicomolecular profiles and survival outcomes. Although OM-CMML patients are more likely to have TET2 mutations in comparison to other CMML subtypes, they have similar rates of disease progression as MD-CMML. This validates recent modifications to CMML classification criteria, in which OM-CMML cases are included as bona fide CMML.

Introduction: Radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy-induced myelosuppression is a dose-limiting toxicity for RAI avid metastatic differentiated thyroid cancers. We describe a patient with exceptionally RAI avid metastatic follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) who underwent autologous stem cell cryopreservation (ASCC) to enable high dose I-131 treatments. Case: A 60-year-old woman with T1bN0M0 FTC underwent two-stage thyroidectomy and three doses of I-131 between 2002-2007 (434 mCi cumulative activity) due to incomplete biochemical response. She presented to our institution in 2015 with rising thyroglobulin (Tg) levels and lung nodules that were intensely RAI avid. She enrolled in a clinical trial of selumetinib versus placebo (for 1 month) followed by 150 mci I-131. She had a profound response with an 80% reduction in Tg and 50% tumor shrinkage. The following year her Tg rose to 8381 ng/mL and she developed biopsy proven, well differentiated metastatic FTC in the hip and liver. Lenvatinib treatment resulted in partial tumor and Tg response but was halted due to grade 3/4 toxicities. Tumor genomic interrogation revealed NRAS, PIK3CA, and TSH-R activating mutations, providing a causal explanation of her intensely RAI avid and responsive disease. Repeat I-131 therapy was facilitated by GM-CSF stimulated ASCC (8.57 x10(6) CD34+ cells/kg for two cycles) as a tool to help mitigate future potential RAI-induced myelosuppression. The patient received 295 mci I-131 followed by a 98% decrease in Tg and 20-25% shrinkage of liver metastases. Transient pancytopenia ensued but did not require autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Due to insurance issues, the patient was lost to follow-up for two years. She returned with cachexia from severe, untreated thyrotoxicosis due to widespread functional, thyroxine producing metastatic disease. Anti-thyroid drug therapy (ATD) restored euthyroid status with significant clinical improvement. A non-stimulated I-123 whole body scan showed diffuse RAI avid disease with 88% whole body radioiodine retention at 48h. She received 125 mci I-131 with initial tumor response but with progression of bone marrow, calvaria, and retinal metastases. Six months later, a final dose of 253 mCi I-131 (cumulative activity 1,370 mCi) resulted in mixed tumor responses. Unfortunately, resection of a RAI refractory calvaria lesion postoperatively resulted in serious complications. ASCT and salvage treatments could not be pursued due to her impaired functional status. The patient pursued hospice care and passed away 20 years after her diagnosis. Conclusion: We characterize a patient with NRAS, PIK3CA and TSH-R mutant metastatic, thyroxine-producing FTC whose recurrences over 20 years retained intense RAI avidity and response to I-131 therapy. In cases with potential benefit from multiple high dose RAI therapies, ASCT may be a tool to mitigate I-131-induced myelosuppression. Presentation: 6/1/2024

AbstractIntroductionCytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation is one of the most common complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Letermovir is approved for CMV prophylaxis among high‐risk recipients. However, delayed‐onset post‐prophylaxis clinically significant CMV infection (csCMVi) has been observed, suggesting the potential for extending letermovir prophylaxis beyond the first one hundred days post‐HSCT.MethodsRetrospective multicenter cohort study of allogeneic HSCT patients from August 2018 to March 2023. The primary aim of this study was to identify the risk factors at day 100 associated with delayed onset csCMVi, in patients who received letermovir prophylaxis up to day 100. Competing risk analysis was used to evaluate incidence with specific risk factors, using Gray's Test comparing groups for each event.ResultsAmong 166 eligible allogeneic HSCT recipients, the most common primary hematological diagnosis was acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) (42.2%). Twenty‐six (15.7%) developed a breakthrough csCMVi. Delayed‐onset csCMVi occurred in 23.5%, at a median time of 133 days after SCT. On multivariate analysis, having a matched unrelated donor (odds ratio [OR] 2.46) and a CMV donor negative/recipient positive status (OR 3.47) were associated with delayed onset csCMVi. In contrast, AML had a lower odd of having delayed‐onset csCMVi (OR 0.23).ConclusionsHaving a matched unrelated donor, a CMV donor negative/recipient positive status, and a non‐AML underlying disease were associated with delayed onset csCMVi. Prospective studies are needed to evaluate whether extended letermovir prophylaxis is beneficial for these patients. image
