Introduction: Stage I disease represents a minor subset of aggressive Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) accounting around 10%. Overall prognosis is generally good but varied upon different histologic subtypes and topographic presentation. Herein, we describe an implication of event free survival at 12 months (EFS12) as a predictor for outcomes of stage I aggressive NHL including real-world data on clinical characteristics and treatment patterns of stage I aggressive NHL in a resource-limited country. Patients and methods: Thai lymphoma study group conducted the lymphoma registry which prospectively enrolled and systematically followed newly diagnosed lymphoma patients between 2007 and 2014 from 13 nationwide major University hospitals. We abstracted data of stage I aggressive NHL patients from the registry and obtained additional information from medical record. Clinical characteristics, treatment patterns and survival outcomes were described. EFS12 was a binary endpoint defined as whether patients developed events at 12 months after treatment initiation. Overall survival (OS) was defined as duration from a specific time-point either at the time of diagnosis, at EFS12 time-point to or at the event to death from any causes. Logistic regression model was used to evaluate the association between clinical characteristics and EFS12. Cox regression with EFS12 as a time-dependent co-variate and other clinical parameters were applied to evaluate association between EFS12 and OS. Results: Of 4,371 newly diagnosed lymphomas, there was a total of 636 stage I lymphoma patients (6.86%) including 590 NHL (519 B cell, 71 T/NK cell) and 46 HL. Among 590 stage 1 NHL, 435 were considered patients (356 diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and 8 Burkitt lymphoma (BL), 19 peripheral T cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), 7 angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL), 11 anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), 1 other PTCL subtypes and 33 extranodal NK T cell lymphoma (ENKTL)). Table 1 summarizes baseline characteristics and treatment data of stage I aggressive NHL. At the time of analysis 61 patients relapsed and 146 patients had died. Major causes of death included infection related events (n=37, 25.3%), non-infectious related complication (n=21, 14.4%) and disease progression (n=60, 41.1%) respectively. With a median follow up of 47.3 months, both median event free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were not reached with corresponding 4 years EFS and 4 years OS of 79.0% and 68.9% respectively (Figure 1A). Four-years OS of patients with aggressive B cell NHL, PTCL and ENKTL was 70.2%, 75.5% and 48.0% respectively. A total of 328 patients achieved EFS12 (No event within the first 12 months after first line treatment initiation). Patients who achieved EFS12 had significant better OS than patients who failed to achieve EFS12 (4-years OS 89.1% vs 7.1%, Hazard ratio 25.9, 95% Confidence Interval 17.7-37.9, P Conclusion: Stage I disease represented a small proportion of aggressive NHL. Natural history and prognosis were highly varied depending upon histology. EFS12 was a power prognostic factor for stage I aggressive NHL and could be used as a clinical tool to stratify patients. Optimal treatment is to be defined to improve outcome and meanwhile minimize toxicities for stage I aggressive NHL patients. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Introduction : Chronic anemia impairs quality of life and adversely affects survival in patients with MDS. Recombinant erythropoietin (EPO) has been proven in maintaining hemoglobin (Hb) level and reducing red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in this group of patients. However, there were limited reports of EPO-β in MDS patients especially in Asian populations. Method: We have conducted a phase IV, multicenter, prospective, open labelled study in patients with low/intermediate-1 risk MDS to evaluate safety and efficacy of EPO-β 30,000 or 60,000 IU/week up to 12 weeks (NCT02145026). Patients with baseline Hb < 10g/dL were eligible if they required RBC transfusion < 4 unit/ 8 weeks and serum erythropoietin < 500 mU/ml. All enrolled patients will start EPO-β 30,000 IU weekly and their erythroid response will be assessed at week 4 and every 4 weeks thereafter until the end of study. If hemoglobin level reaches ≥ 12 g/dL at any time, EPO-β should be discontinued until Hb levels are ≤ 10 g/dL. While patients with Hb level is less than 12 g/dL and increased less than 1 g/dL from baseline level, a 60,000 IU weekly of EPO-β will be administered subcutaneously until week 12. Up to the clinical cut-off date for this interim analysis, 58 patients were screened, 27 of which were eligible for safety analysis whereas 25 patients were eligible for primary efficacy analysis to evaluate response according to International Working Group (IWG 2006) response criteria in MDS. Results: The median age of patients was 74.6 (range; 53.1-88.5), 18 (67%) were female. Three major subtypes of MDS were refractory cytopenia with multi-lineage dysplasia (RCMD, 44%), refractory cytopenia with uni-lineage dysplasia (RCUD, 32%) and refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts (RARS, 16%). Baseline Hb, hematocrit (Hct) and serum EPO were 8.1±1.3 g/dL, 25.2±3.7% and 89.5±116.6 mU/ml respectively. Twenty-five patients (92%) had serum EPO ≤ 200 mU/ml. There were 16 patients (64.0%) achieved hematologic improvement on erythroid (HI-E), while 6 patients (24.0%) achieved hematologic improvement on platelet (HI-P). Eleven patients (44.0%) (68% of responding patients) achieved Hb≥12 g/dL. Sixteen of 23 patients (69.6%) with serum EPO ≤ 200mU/ml achieved HI-E. Proportion of patients who required at least one RBC transfusion was reduced from 37% (n=10) to 11% (n=3) at the end of the study. By univariate analysis, none of baseline characteristics, including age, gender, comorbidity and MDS subtype, predicted response to EPO-β. From 27 patients eligible for safety analysis, there were 14 adverse events (AEs) and one serious adverse event (SAE) were reported in 13 patients (48.1%). The most frequently reported AEs were increased blood pressure (28.6%; all grade1), infections (21.4%) and gastrointestinal disorders (14.3%). There was no major AEs or SAEs which considered to be related to study drug by the investigators including hypertension, pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), thromboembolism and seizure. Conclusions Preliminary results suggest efficacy and safety of EPO-β in the treatment of anemia in low/intermediate-1 risk MDS patients. Two-third of patients demonstrated HI-E. There were no new unknown AEs found in this study and no SAEs considered related to study drug. Disclosures Charnwiboonsri: Roche (Thailand) Ltd.: Employment.

Introduction: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a relatively rare and aggressive mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) entity, encounting for 3-10% of newly diagnosed patients. The purpose of the study is to analyse the incidence, clinical features and outcomes of Thai patients with MCL and compare data with those of Western countries. Patients and methods: From the nationwide multicenter registry of 4,056 newly diagnosed NHL patients in Thailand between 2007-2014, patients with MCL were identified according to the criteria of diagnosis by WHO classification of lymphoid disorders, 2008. The incidence, baseline clinical characteristics and outcomes were then analysed. Results: Ninety-nine patients (2.4%) were found to have MCL. The median age was 59.8 years (range 33-86). Seventy-nine percent of patients were men. The primary sites of disease were lymph nodes (60%), bone marrow (19%), GI tract (9%), Waldeyer's ring (4%), sinonasal area (2%) and miscellaneous (6%). (Figure 1). Eighty-three percent of the patients had stage III/IV. Eighty-one patients (82%) received chemotherapy (60.5% with CHOP or CHOP-like chemotherapy, 30.9% with HyperCVAD, and 26% with rituximab-based). Other received palliative chemotherapy or did not receive any. At a median follow-up time of 42 months, the median survival was 30 months (range, 1-94 months). By using Cox analysis, only Ann Arbor stage had impact on overall survival. Conclusion: MCL is less frequent in Thailand compare to the Western countries. The long-term survival is also much inferior reflecting the limited access to rituximab as well as the high intensity therapy in treating MCL in Thailand. Table 1.

Introduction In pre-rituximab era, the IPI has been developed and widely used to predict the prognosis of aggressive lymphoma while Miller's stage modified IPI1 was reported as a better prognostic model for limited stage DLBCL. Recently, NCCN-IPI2 was stated to be a better predictor of prognosis for DLBCL in rituximab era. We aim to compare the prognostic significance between IPI, Miller's stage modified IPI, NCCN-IPI and the new proposed stage adjusted IPI (St-IPI) in limited stage DLBCL patients treated with rituximab based regimens. Methods From the 4,371 patients in a multi-institutional registry of newly diagnosed lymphoma in Thailand between 2007-2014, there were a total of 2,399 patients with DLBCL. We included patients with limited stage DLBCL receiving R-CHOP or R-CHOP-liked chemotherapy. The clinical outcomes were analyzed according to IPI, Miller's stage modified IPI, NCCN-IPI and St-IPI. To generate the St-IPI, we used 3 predictors from IPI namely, age > 60, elevated LDH and ECOG ≥ 2, classified patients into 3 risk cohorts, i.e., the low (score 0), intermediate (score 1-2), and high risk (score 3) group. Results A total of 274 patients with a median age of 58 years (range, 15-91) were included. Seventy-four percent of the cohort had stage II disease, 44% and 32% of them had elevated LDH and ECOG ≥ 2, respectively. According to St-IPI, 77, 183 and 14 patients were categorized as low (score 0), intermediate (score 1-2) and high risk groups (score 3), respectively. Most of the patients (96%) received R-CHOP regimen and one fifth of them underwent consolidation radiotherapy, contributing to a complete response rate of 76%. With a median follow up of 52 months, the 5-year progression free survival (PFS) according to St-IPI among low, intermediate and high risk groups were 79%, 66% and 22%, respectively (HR 2.48, 95%CI: 1.55-3.86). The corresponding figures for 5-year overall survival (OS) were 84%, 73% and 49%, respectively (HR 2.95, 95%CI: 1.54-4.37). The 5-year PFS and OS according to IPI, NCCN-IPI and Miller's stage modified IPI were described in Table 1. When comparing between risk models, St-IPI was able to discriminate more accurately low risk PFS than IPI, distinguished more precisely high risk PFS than NCCN-IPI and Miller's stage modified IPI (Figure 1). All risk models had no differences in predicting OS at 5 years, nevertheless, there was a trend of inferior survivals after 5 years among limited stage DLBCL patients with high risk St-IPI (Figure 2). Conclusion St-IPI is a simple and better model in predicting PFS for limited stage DLBCL treated with R-CHOP. The model is able to predict the lower risk disease more discriminately than the IPI which would suggest the tailor therapy approach to avoid unnecessary treatment related toxicities. Moreover, the St-IPI is better in predicting patients with high risk of relapses in whom more aggressive treatment is warranted to improve the cure rate of the patients. 1 Miller, et al.

INTRODUCTION: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is curable if the patients are treated early and properly. Thailand is a country where public health care resources are limited and as such, dacarbazine was not listed in the national drug list, thus, cannot be reimbursed in patients under the Universal Coverage payment scheme which comprised 60-70% of all patients. This study was aimed to compare outcome differences between patients with HL who were treated with ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine), ABV (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine) and COP/ABV (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisolone, procarbazine /ABV) as happened in the real world practice in Thailand. METHODS: From the nationwide multicenter registry of 4,371 newly diagnosed lymphoma patients in Thailand from 2007 to 2014, there were 316 patients with HL. The data is part of the Thai Lymphoma Study Group Registry performed at the thirteen major medical centers in Thailand. The patients' characteristics, treatment options and outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: The median age was 42 years (range,13-89 years). Male: female was 1.3:1. Fifteen percent of the patients were older than 60 years. Histological subtypes were classical HL, nodular sclerosis, 45.3%, mixed cellularity, 28.6%, lymphocytic rich, 3.5%, lymphocytic depletion 5.1%, nodular lymphocytic predominant, 7.5% and unclassifiable, 10.5%. Fifty percent of patients were stage III/IV and 46% had B symptoms. Clinical characteristics were not significantly different between patients treated with ABVD, ABV and COP/ABV (Table 1). Treatment options were varied according to doctors' preference, hospital strategy and the reimbursement policy. ABVD was the most common prescribed regimen (32.7%); the other options included ABV (29.2 %), COP/ABV (13.1 %), CHOP (2.8 %) and radiotherapy only (1.6%). With a median follow-up of 32 months, patients treated with ABVD had superior 5 year overall survival rate over those treated with ABV (86.6% vs 47.7%, p < 0.001) and COP/ABV (86.6% vs 62.7%, p < 0.01)(Figure 1). Discrepancies in survivals could be demonstrated both in patients with limited as well as in advanced diseases (Figure 2). CONCLUSION: ABVD yielded superior survival compared to ABV and COP/ABV. Dacarbazine is therefore an essential drug for the treatment of HL in developing countries. Figure 1. Figure 1. Figure 2. Figure 2. Disclosures Khuhapinant: Roche: Honoraria.

Introduction: Despite improved treatment outcome of DLBCL in the immunochemotherapy era, secondary CNS relapse remains a serious and fatal complication. Several prognostic models were reported in order to define high-risk patients for CNS relapse and provide proper prophylactic strategies. There is no standard approach for CNS prophylaxis in DLBCL with more data suggesting lack of efficacy of intrathecal chemoprophylaxis. In 2013, the DSHNHL introduced a prognostic model including each international prognostic index (IPI) factor (age, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), stage, performance status (PS), extranodal involvement (EN) and kidney/adrenal involvement) to stratify patients into 3 groups. Herein, we applied and validated DSHNHL model to DLBCL patients treated at nationwide University hospitals in Thailand including analyzing an impact of rituximab and intrathecal chemoprophylaxis on CNS relapse. Method: From the nationwide multicenter registry of 4,371 newly diagnosed lymphoma patients in Thailand between 2007 and 2014, there were a total of 2,399 DLBCL patients. We looked at the incidence and clinical predictors of CNS relapse, the effect of immunotherapy and intrathecal chemoprophylaxis on CNS relapse in DLBCL who were treated with at least one cycle of CHOP-like or intensive chemotherapy regimens. Result: After excluding patients with CNS/ocular involvement at diagnosis, 2,034 DLBCL patients were included in the analysis. Table 1 summarizes baseline characteristics of DLBCL patients. The median follow up time for living patients was 51 months (interquartile range, 22-75 months). A total of 565 patients (27.8%) progressed or relapsed after first-line induction therapy and 61 patients (3.0%) developed CNS relapse. Median time to CNS relapse was relatively shorter than non-CNS relapse (8.4 vs 10.5 months, P=0.07). A total of 729 (35.8%), 1,024 (50.3%) and 281 (13.8%) patients were classified as low-, intermediate- and high-risk groups based on DSHNHL risk model for CNS relapse. Of high DSHNHL risk group, 45 patients (16%) received intrathecal chemotherapy for CNS prophylaxis along with induction treatments. Using the competing risk regression analysis, 2-year cumulative incidence of CNS relapse was 2.7% (1.5%, 3.1%, and 4.6% for low-, intermediate- and high-risk DSHNHL group respectively). Univariate analysis showed elevated LDH, poor PS, stage III/IV, presence of B symptoms, higher risk IPI and DSHNHL risk group as risk factors of CNS relapse (Table 2). Presence of concurrent EN involvement more than one site and elevated LDH was a significant predictor of CNS relapse (Hazard Ratio [HR] 2.39, P =0.004). Kidney/adrenal gland and gonadal involvement were not associated with higher risk of CNS relapse whereas breast involvement showed a trend toward higher incidence of CNS relapse (HR 2.46, P=0.07). Either immunochemotherapy or intrathecal chemoprophylaxis was not associated with lower risk of CNS relapse; in fact patients who received intrathecal chemotherapy had more CNS relapse though this could be due to selection bias. Median survival of patients with CNS relapse was 13.2 months which was significantly worse than patients without CNS relapse (81.8 months, P Conclusion: The 2-year cumulative incidence of CNS relapse in DLBCL in this analysis was 2.7% which was comparable to other series. Using the DSHNHL prognostic model was able to define DLBCL patients into low, intermediate and high risk for CNS relapse. The high-risk group in our series had lower incidence of CNS relapse compared to German and recently reported British Columbia cohorts. Our study confirms poor survival outcome of DLBCL patients with CNS relapse and no protective effect of immunochemotherapy or intrathecal chemoprophylaxis on the incidence of CNS relapse. Novel risk-adapted CNS prophylaxis strategies are warranted to be further investigated in prospective studies. Figure 1.

Introduction The difference in origin between nodal and extranodal DLBCL may contribute to the distinct clinical outcomes and prognoses. Previous studies including patients with both limited and advanced diseases showed various clinical results. The purpose is to study the clinical characteristics, and outcomes of patients with limited stage DLBCL according to the primary site of lymphoma. Methods From the 4,371 patients in a multi-institutional registry of newly diagnosed lymphoma in Thailand between 2007-2014, there were 920 patients with limited stage DLBCL, excluding those with primary central nervous system lymphoma. The baseline patient characteristics and clinical outcomes were analyzed according to the primary site of diseases. Results Majority of patients had extranodal diseases (n= 535, 58.2%) while the other 385 cases (41.8%) had nodal DLBCL. The five most common primary sites of extranodal disease were Waldeyer ring (12.2%), stomach (7.3%), intestine (6.8%), sinonasal cavity (6.7%) and breast (2.8%) (Figure 1). Baseline characteristics, treatment and responses were well balanced between the two groups except for a slightly higher proportion of stage I disease in extranodal DLBCL (36.8% vs 28.8%, P =0.01) (Table 1). Two-third of patients received CHOP chemotherapy while the others were treated with R-CHOP. Radiotherapy (RT) was delivered to one-fifth of the patients in each group. Overall response rates were comparable between patients with nodal and extranodal diseases (68.6% vs 66.7%). With a median follow up of 52 months, there were no significant differences of progression free (PFS) (57.6 vs. 60.8%, P =0.46) and overall survival (OS) (63.1% vs. 65.6%, P =0.20) between patients with extranodal and nodal diseases. Among patients with extranodal manifestations, those with primary lymphoma at pancreas & gall bladder, pleura & lung, adrenal gland & kidney and intestine had the worst 4-year OS (33.3%, 39.3%, 53.3%, and 53.7%, respectively) (Figure 2). RT improved PFS (71.7% vs. 54.5%, P =0.03) and OS (74.7% vs. 62.9%, P =0.02) only in primary nodal DLBCL. The two prognostic factors for survivals were being treated with R-CHOP (HR for PFS 0.84, 95%CI: 0.74-0.96; HR for OS 0.70, 95%CI: 0.55-0.91) and the IPI scores (HR for PFS 1.49, 95%CI: 1.24-1.80; HR for OS 1.86, 95%CI: 1.37-2.51). Conclusion Among limited stage DLBCL in Thailand, primary extranodal disease was more common than the nodal manifestations. Primary sites of origins did not affect baseline characteristics as well as the outcomes. Patients with unusual site lymphomas, however, had an inferior survivals warranted a further investigational therapy. Table 1.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze clinical features, outcome of treatment and prognosis of Thai patients with oropharyngeal diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). METHODS: From the nationwide multicenter registry of 4,371 newly diagnosed lymphoma patients in Thailand between 2007 and 2014, there were a total of 2,399 DLBCL patients. The patients who have oropharyngeal lesions were collected. Clinical profiles and response to treatment and outcome were analyzed. RESULTS: Among 2,399 DLBCL patients, 1664 cases(69.4%) had extranodal lesions. The five most common site of extranodal involvement were oropharyngeal, stomach, intestine, sinonasal cavity and breast. There were 193 cases with oropharyngeal lesions accounted to 11.6% of DLBCL with extranodal lesions. The median age was 58 years (range17-91).Fifty percent of patients were male. B symptoms were presented in 39.9%. Most common sites of involvement were tonsils (81.8%) and base of tongue (15.0%) Majority of patients presented with stage I-II ( 21.2%, 43.0%) , 38.8% presented with advanced stage. Eighty three percent of the patients had ECOG score 0-1. Majority of the patients have IPI< 2 (74.6%). Ninety four percent of the patients received chemotherapy, the most common regimen was CHOP (96.0%), Rituximab was given in 29.1%. Intrathecal methotrexate was given in 8.9% Radiation therapy combine with chemotherapy was used in 16.0%, 2.7% received only local radiation therapy and 2.7% received only palliative care . Among those who received curative aim treatment,the overall response rate was 87.1% (CR 78.4 %). With a median follow-up time of 46 months (range 4-91 months) , median overall survival (OS) was 50.3 months and median progression free survival(PFS) was 31.5 months. The multivariate analysis revealed IPI>2, age>60 years and stage >2 associated with poor OS (HR 2.98, CI: 1.93-4.61, p=0.000, HR 2.79, CI:1.67-4.68, p=0.000 and HR 1.79,CI:1.09-2.97, p=0.002) but only age and IPI was significantly associated with PFS (HR 2.79,CI: 1.28-6.06, p=0.10, HR 2.86, CI:1.37-5.97, p=0.005). Advanced stage trended to associated with poor PFS but did not reach statistical significant (HR 1.90,CI:0.95-3.79, p=0.07). Rituximab significantly improved both OS and PFS (HR 0.58, CI;0.33-0.99, p=0.046 and HR 0.44, CI; 0.19-1.0, p=0.05) but radiotherapy did not improved outcomes(HR1.05,CI:0.56-1.99, p=0.87). The patient who received intrathecal methotrexate had poor outcome (HR 3.43,CI: 1.57-7.50, p=0.004) CONCLUSION: Comparing to other Thai patients with DLBCL , those with orpharyngeal lesion have similar prognosis. Receiving Rituximab improved outcomes. Different from international data, combination chemo-radiotherapy and intrathecal chemotherapy were not routinely practice and did not relate with good outcomes. This may be caused by limited resource of radiotherapy in Thailand so it was reserved for only patients with bulky mass or impending airway obstruction. Table 1.

OBJECTIVES: To analyze clinical features, treatment outcomes in Thai patients with angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL). PATIENTS AND METHODS: From a nationwide multicenter registry of 4,056 NHL patients in Thailand between 2007 and 2014, there were a total of 54 angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL) patients. The clinical features and treatment outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: There were a total of 54 cases accounted to the prevalence of 1.2 % of NHL and 12% of peripheral T cell lymphoma. The median age was 59 years (range 35-81). Male: female was 1.5:1. Seventy-eight percent of patients had advanced disease (stage III, IV), 69% had B symptoms, 28% had poor performance status (ECOG > 2) and 61% had elevated serum LDH level. Extranodal involvement was 56 %; the most common sites of which were bone marrow (30%) and liver (19 %). Thirty-five percent of the patients had IPI score > 2 and 7% had PIT >2. Eighty-one percent of patients were treated with chemotherapy of which CHOP/CHOP-like was the main regimen. Of the 43 evaluable patients receiving chemotherapy, complete remission was achieved in 41.9%. Forty-four percent of patients with complete remission had disease progression. With the median follow-up time of 65 months, the 5-year overall survival was comparable to peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL, NOS), (28% vs. 37%, p=0.7). On multivariate analysis, response to treatment (at least PR) was associated with better outcome (HR 0.13, 95%CI 0.05-0.33, p= 0.000). Patients with PIT > 2 or B symptoms trended to have inferior survival outcome, although statistical significant was not achieve (HR 3.2, 95%CI 0.36-27.95, p=0.3; HR 2.3, 95%CI 0.78-7.31, p=0.13). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of Thai patients with AITL was much less than data reported from the international T-cell lymphoma project (18% of T-NHLs) (Vose et al, JCO2008;26:4124-30). The long-term survival was not inferior to patients with PTCL, NOS. Disclosures Khuhapinant: Roche: Honoraria.

Introduction The additional benefit of consolidation radiotherapy (RT) following chemotherapy in limited stage DLBCL remains controversial. Previous 5 randomized trials, 4 trials before rituximab era (SWOG 8736, ECOG 1484, GELA 93-1 and 93-4 studies) and 1 trial with R-CHOP combination (Lysa/Goelams 02-03), could not demonstrate a remarkable benefit of RT. The purpose of this study is to explore the benefit of combined modality treatment including the combination of RT and rituximab (R)-based chemotherapy in limited stage DLBCL. Methods From the 4,371 patients in a multi-institutional registry of newly diagnosed lymphoma in Thailand between 2007-2014, there were a total of 2,399 patients with DLBCL. We included patients with limited stage DLBCL receiving CHOP/CHOP-liked chemotherapy +/- R and +/- RT. The baseline patient characteristics and clinical outcomes were analyzed according to treatment modalities. Results A total of 816 patients with a median age of 56 years (range, 15-91) were included in the study. Male:female was 1:1.1. Majority of patients had primary extranodal diseases (58%), stage II (68%), good performance status (89%), normal LDH (55%) and no B-symptoms (59%). The IPI scores were 0 (30.6%), 1(45%), 2 (20%) and 3 (3.9%), respectively. The modalities of treatment were CHOP alone (48.5%), R-CHOP (26.5%), CHOP+RT (17.9%) and R-CHOP+RT (7.1%). Patients in R-CHOP group were older than in other groups ( P =0.001) (Table 1).There was a higher proportion of patients in stage II disease in R-CHOP (74.1%) and R-CHOP+RT (74.1%) groups than in CHOP (66.9%) and CHOP+RT (57.5%) groups ( P =0.007), whereas the patients were relatively equally distributed between the IPI scores. Complete response (CR) rate was higher in R-CHOP+RT group (82.8%) than in R-CHOP (75%), CHOP+RT (70%) and CHOP groups (58%) ( P

Abstract 2064 OBJECTIVE: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the most common hematologic malignancy in Thailand. The objective of the study was to evaluate clinical features, histopathology, treatment outcomes and prognostic factors in Thai adult patients with NHL. METHODS: Using web-based registry system, we prospectively collected clinical information of newly diagnosed NHL patients from eleven major medical centers situated in various geographic regions of Thailand. All histopathological diagnoses were reviewed by consensus meeting of panels of 6 expert hematopathologists and classified according to the 2008 WHO classification of the lymphoid neoplasms. Clinical features and treatment outcomes were analyzed using STATA program. RESULTS: Between January 2007 and May 2009, there were a total of 939 NHL patients whose clinical information including follow-up data and tissue samples were readily available for analysis. The median age was 58 years (range, 15–99). Forty six percent of the patients were ≥60 years of age. Male:female was 1.18:1. The six leading subtypes were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (67%), extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of MALT type (7%), follicular lymphoma (6%), mantle cell lymphoma (4%), peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (NOS) (3%) and extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (3%). T-cell lymphoma constituted 10% of all NHL. The three most common subtypes in T-cell lymphomas were peripheral T-cell lymphoma, NOS (26%), extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (25%) and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (15%). Fifty-eight percent of all patients had advanced disease (stage III, IV), 42% had B symptoms and 54% had elevated serum LDH. The IPI risk groups were 23% low, 30% low-intermediate, 30% high-intermediate and 17% high-risk. HIV-associated NHL was seen in 4.4% of the patients. Of the 801 patients who received chemotherapy, 90% were treated with anthracycline-containing regimen. Twenty-five percent of the patients received rituximab. Of the 663 evaluable patients, the rate of objective tumor response was 75% (CR+CRu, 59%). At a median follow-up time of 13 months, the 4-year projected overall survival (OS) was 73% (95% CI 69–77%). The OS of patients with T-cell lymphoma was inferior to B-cell lymphoma (58% vs. 74%, p = 0.04). With multivariate analysis, the independent adverse prognostic factors for OS in B-cell lymphoma were poor performance status (HR 2.4, 95% CI 1.7–3.5), elevated serum LDH (HR 2.1, 95% CI 1.4–3.1), stage III/IV (HR 1.6, 95% CI 1.1–2.3), WHO subtype (HR 1.1, 95% CI 1.0–1.2), no chemotherapy (HR 3.1, 95% CI 1.9–5.1) and no rituximab treatment (HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1–2.6). The independent adverse factors for OS in T-cell lymphoma were elevated serum LDH (HR 3.7, 95% CI 1.2–11.1) and male sex (HR 3.4, 95% CI 1.3–8.8). CONCLUSIONS: This study confirmed the characteristic features of NHL among Thai population, i.e., a preponderance of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and a low incidence of follicular lymphoma within B-cell lymphoma; a relatively high incidence of nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma within T-cell lymphoma. The IPI risk-groups and survival outcomes were comparable to most previously published reports. Disclosures: Bunworasate: Novartis Pharmaceutical: Research Funding.
