We report the results from a multicenter retrospective study of 69 adult patients who underwent haploidentical blood or marrow transplantation (haplo-BMT) with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for chronic phase myelofibrosis. The median age at BMT was 63 years (range, 41-74). Conditioning regimens were reduced intensity in 54% and nonmyeloablative in 39%. Peripheral blood grafts were used in 86%. The median follow-up was 23.1 months (range, 1.6-75.7). At 3 years, the overall survival, relapse-free survival (RFS), and graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD)-free-RFS were 72% (95% CI 59-81), 44% (95% CI 29-59), and 30% (95% CI 17-43). Cumulative incidences of non-relapse mortality and relapse were 23% (95% CI 14-34) and 31% (95% CI 17-47) at 3 years. Spleen size ≥22 cm or prior splenectomy (HR 6.37, 95% CI 2.02-20.1, P = 0.002), and bone marrow grafts (HR 4.92, 95% CI 1.68-14.4, P = 0.004) were associated with increased incidence of relapse. Cumulative incidence of acute GVHD grade 3-4 was 10% at 3 months and extensive chronic GVHD was 8%. Neutrophil engraftment was reported in 94% patients, at a median of 20 days (range, 14-70). In conclusion, haplo-BMT with PTCy is feasible in patients with myelofibrosis. Splenomegaly ≥22 cm and bone marrow grafts were associated with a higher incidence of relapse in this study.

The role of salvage autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (sAHCT2) for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in the era of modern therapeutics is unclear. As prospective data is limited, we conducted a retrospective analysis to determine the outcomes of sAHCT2.We conducted a single-institution, retrospective analysis of patients who received sAHCT2 at The Ohio State University from 2000 to 2018. Patients who received a second transplant as part of a planned tandem or autologous-allogeneic transplant were excluded.Fifty-seven patients were treated with sAHCT2. Patients had a median of 2 lines of therapy after AHCT1 prior to their sAHCT2; 70% had prior immunomodulatory imide drugs, 82% had prior proteasome inhibitor, and 20% had prior anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies as part of re-induction therapy. Forty-two percent of patients attained ≥VGPR prior to sAHCT2. Seventy-four were treated with melphalan 200 mg/mFor MM patients deriving durable remission after their AHCT1, sAHCT2 was safe and resulted in deep and durable remissions.

Background Newly diagnosed patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who receive induction with a hypomethylating agent (HMA) are often neutropenic with an increased risk for invasive fungal infections (IFIs). This study analyzed the incidence and risk factors for IFIs in these patients, evaluated clinical patterns in antifungal prophylaxis, and assessed the diagnostic utility of tests in this setting. Patients and Methods We studied 117 newly diagnosed patients with AML treated with HMAs at our center, divided into groups based on concern for IFI (cIFI: all possible, probable, and proven IFIs) versus no concern for IFI. The Fisher exact test compared patients with cIFI versus without, and a multivariable logistic regression model estimated odds for cIFI. Results Sixty-seven (57%) patients had cIFI, with 48 possible IFIs, 17 probable, and 2 proven cases. There was no difference in incidence based on home zip code, but the presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was highly associated with cIFI (P = .001), as was male gender (P = .01). Neutropenia at treatment initiation was borderline in significance (P = .08). In diagnostics, 9% of patients had positive serum fungal markers, and 30 patients underwent bronchoscopy, with only 27% of cases yielding positive results. There was a difference in treatment regimens between patients receiving antifungal prophylaxis with mold coverage versus without mold coverage with respect to cIFI (P = .04). Conclusions cIFI in patients with AML treated with HMAs remains significant, especially in males and those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, who were found to be at higher risk. This may prompt clinicians to consider anti-mold prophylaxis in this setting.

Background Systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a clonal plasma‐cell neoplasm that carries a poor prognosis. Although AL amyloidosis and Multiple Myeloma (MM) can co‐exist and share various cytogenetic chromosomal abnormalities, little is known about Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and its prognostic relevance in AL amyloidosis. Aim: The study aims to evaluate the most prevalent FISH cytogenetic abnormalities in AL patients as independent prognostic factors, and assess the impact of cytogenetics on the survival of high‐risk cardiac AL patients. Materials & Methods This retrospective study reviewed 113 consecutive AL patients treated at The Ohio State University (OSU). Patients were divided into subgroups based on FISH data obtained within 90 days of diagnosis. Hyperdiploidy was defined as trisomies of at least 2 chromosomal loci. Primary endpoints were progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Kaplan Meier curves were used to calculate PFS and OS. The log‐rank test and Cox proportional hazard models were used to test the equality of survival functions and further evaluate the differences between groups. Results FISH abnormalities were detected in 76% of patients. Patients with abnormal FISH trended toward lower overall survival (OS) (p=0.06) and progression free survival (PFS) (p=0.06). The two most prevalent aberrations were translocation t(11;14) (39%) and hyperdiploidy‐overall (38%). Hyperdiploidy‐overall was associated with worsening PFS (p=0.018) and OS (p=0.03), confirmed in multivariable analysis. Patients with del 13q most frequently had cardiac involvement (p=0.006) and was associated with increased bone marrow plasmacytosis (p=0.02). Cardiac AL patients with no FISH abnormalities had much improved OS (p=0.012) and PFS (p=0.018) Conclusions Our findings ultimately reveal the association of hyperdiploidy on survival in AL amyloidosis patients, including the high‐risk cardiac AL population., Hyperdiploidy in AL amyloidosis patients was associated with poor PFS and OS and cardiac AL patients had a strong association with del 13q.

Background : The identification of mutations in IDH1 and IDH2 in ~20% of AML pts has ushered in the modern era of precision medicine in AML. The functional implications of the resulting neomorphic activity of these mutated enzymes, has resulted in FDA-approved targeted therapies. Similarly, the changes in methylation due to IDH mutations (IDHm) have shown high responses with HMA-based regimens. In the frontline setting, where traditional IC regimens are also used, no clear guidance exists which choice elicits the best outcomes for IDHm pts. Furthermore, emerging data on the importance of the biologic context on the response to different agents, including co-existing gene mutations and pt age, pose additional questions that need to be systematically addressed in order to determine the best-individualized approach. We set out to address this question, and provide data-driven treatment decision support for the ~20% of AML pts harboring IDHm. Methods : Using the AML pt collection from the Cancer and Leukemia Group B/Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology (Alliance, 1986-2013), and a new multicenter collaboration between four major US Cancer Centers (consecutive pts, 2015-2019), we have assembled the thus far largest cohort of 804 IDH1/2m adult AML pts, treated with standard 7+3 IC (n=578), IDH-directed inhibitors (IDHi, n=58) or HMA (without IDH2i or BCL2i, n=75). We investigated the role of different IDH1/2m, co-mutational patterns, and clinical features in predicting response to different frontline therapies. Results : IDH1/2m pts were predominantly older, with 64% aged ≥60 y. Nineteen percent of pts presented with extramedullary disease (EMD) at diagnosis. Pts with all IDHm mutation types commonly harbored DNMT3Am (IDH1-R132m, 38%; IDH2-R140m, 31%; IDH2-R172m, 48%), but differed with respect to other co-occurring mutations (Fig. 1). IDH1m pts most frequently had mutations in the NPM1 (43%), FLT3-ITD (19%), SRSF2 (15%), and NRAS (14%) genes. IDH2-R140m pts harbored mutations in NPM1 (37%), SRSF2 (33%), FLT3-ITD (19%) and RUNX1 (16%) most often, whereas IDH2-R172m pts frequently had BCORm (21%) and RUNX1m (20%), but rarely harbored FLT3-ITD (6%) or NPM1m (2%). Clinical outcomes had notable differences in complete remission (CR) rates, relapse rates (RR) and overall survival (OS), both with respect to IDHm-type, and also frontline therapy (Table 1). IDH1m pts treated with IC (n=239) had a CR rate of 69%. The CR rates were differentially impacted by clinical characteristics and co-occurring mutations, which were identified in multivariate analysis (MVA; positive prognosticator [PP] for CR: NPM1m; negative prognosticator [NP]: WT1m, FLT3-TKD, higher age, Table 2). IC-treated IDH1m pts had a RR of 60% (NP: ASXL1m), with a 3y-OS of 41% (NP: U2AF1m, WT1m, higher age, higher WBC). When treated with IDH1i (n=20), pts had a high CR rate of 70%, RR of 36%, and a 3y-OS of 44%. In contrast, pts treated with HMAs had a low CR rate of 37% (NP: higher BM blast %), and 3y-OS of 26%. IDH2-R140m pts treated with IC (n=231) had a CR rate of 68% (PP: NPM1m, FLT3-ITD NP: higher WBC), RR of 64% (NP: SRSF2m), with a 3y-OS of 37% (PP: NPM1m, WT1m; NP: PHF6m, higher age, higher WBC). The positive prognostic association of FLT3-ITD for CR achievement was surprising, but seemed to be independent of co-occurring NPM1m, with CR rates for pts with NPM1wt/ITD+: 70%, NPM1wt/ITD-: 57%, NPM1m/ITD+:83%, and NPM1m/ITD-:76%. When treated with IDH1i (n=27), pts had a CR rate of 48%, RR of 8%, with a 3y-OS of 29%. Again, pts treated with HMAs had a low CR rate of 28%, RR of 90% and 3y-OS of 21%. IDH2-R172m pts treated with IC (n=66) had a relatively low CR rate of 58% (NP: higher age, male sex, presence of EMD), RR of 53%, but a relatively high 3y-OS rate of 45% (median: 2.5y; NP: RUNX1m, higher WBC). The number of IDH2i- or HMA-treated pts with IDH2-R172m was too small for analyses. Conclusions: Given the relatively high response rates to IC of IDH1/2m pts, consideration of co-occurring mutations or clinical features (eg, WT1m or FLT3-TKD as NP for IDH1m, SRSF2m for IDH2-R140m or EMD for IDH2-R172m pts) may help guide frontline treatment decisions. Likewise, encouragingly high response and survival rates of pts treated with frontline IDHi should also factor into decision-making. As more information on high response and survival rates with HMA-based combination regimens comes forth, we will be adding these pts to our on-going analysis. *first: UB,PP,CT; #last:ASM,KS,AKE Figure 1 Figure 1.

Background: WBC levels vary widely in AML pts at diagnosis. Together with various cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities, WBC is a main prognostic factor for AML pts. Treatment decisions like need for intrathecal chemotherapy, trial enrollment eligibility, and stem cell transplant (SCT) considerations are often influenced by degree of WBC elevation. Despite such high clinical relevance, there are no standardized WBC-associated groups that improve prognostication and treatment guidance for AML pts. Aims: (1) define clinically relevant WBC level groups associated with outcome, (2) determine if WBC level has an independent prognostic impact in addition to established prognostic features [i.e., 2017 European LeukemiaNet (ELN) genetic-risk classification] and (3) characterize WBC level-associated gene-expression profiles to provide biologic insights into factors influencing WBC levels. Methods: We analyzed clinical and molecular features of 1,121 younger de novo AML pts similarly treated on frontline Cancer and Leukemia Group B/Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology protocols. No pt received an allogeneic SCT in 1 st complete remission (CR). Targeted next generation sequencing of 81 cancer- and leukemia-associated genes was done using MiSeq platform. We defined 3 WBC groups: low ( Results: Pts in the high WBC group had higher extramedullary disease burden at diagnosis than pts in the intermediate and low groups (38% vs 29% and 12%, respectively; P Conclusion: The 3 WBC groups we propose offer additional prognostic information for younger AML pts. An intermediate WBC group was associated with better outcome among all pts and in pts included in the ELN Favorable group, especially those with non-CBF-AML. We also showed differences in the metabolic pathways among WBC groups. Our results suggest that the paradigm that all pts who present with a high WBC have a poor prognosis should be re-evaluated, and can help guide therapy decisions for younger AML pts.

Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation (HCT) is frequently considered for patients (pts) with relapsed T-cell lymphoma (TCL) and less often as consolidation of initial therapy. Outcomes from prior registry data show that only 31% of pts remain disease free 3 years after HCT (Smith et al. JCO 2013). However, several single institution studies have superior outcomes. We previously presented an analysis of allogeneic transplant in T-cell lymphoma but have expanded this effort to 12 academic centers with longer follow up (Mehta-Shah ASH 2017). Methods: We analyzed the patient characteristics at time of diagnosis and transplant, treatment history, overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in consecutive TCL pts who had an HCT from 1/1/2000-12/31/2019 at 12 academic institutions. Results: Patient characteristics are shown in Table 1. 508 pts were identified with median age 51 years (16 - 72). 452 (86.5%) had known remission status at the time of HCT: 245 (54.4%) complete remission (CR), 168 (37.2%) partial remission (PR), 23 (5.0%) stable disease (SD), 16 (3.2%) progressive disease (PD). Seventy-eight (15.5%) had a prior autologous HCT. Thirty-six (7%) pts underwent HCT in CR1, 352 (69%) for relapsed/refractory TCL, and was not specified in 120 pts (24%). The median HCT comorbidity index (HCT-CI) score was 1 (0-11). Conditioning regimens were myeloablative (n=180), reduced intensity/non-myeloablative (n=323), unknown (n=3). Donor type was known for 471 pts: 192 matched related (MRD), 183 matched unrelated (MUD), 53 mismatched (MMD), 18 haploidentical donors, 25 umbilical cord blood. In this series, the 2 year OS and PFS rate following HCT were 59.1% (95%CI: 54.6-63.3%) and 45.8% (95%CI: 41.3-50.2%) respectively. 5 year OS and PFS rate were 50.8% (95%CI: 46.1-55.3%) and 39.4% (95%CI: 34.9-43.9%) (Fig 1) For disease specific 2-year and 5-year PFS, see Table 1. At a median follow-up of 29.7 mo (0.1-263 mo), 163 pts had relapsed and 261 pts had died. The median time from relapse post HCT to death was 10.2 mo (0-158.4 mo). Of 261 deaths: 81 were due to transplant related mortality (TRM), 69 were confirmed to be from TCL, and 111 were from non-relapse mortality/unknown. There was not a significant difference in PFS for pts with AITL, PTCL-NOS, ALK positive ALCL or ALK negative ALCL, with median PFS of 23.2 mo (95%CI:15.3-64.2). However, when AITL was compared specifically to PTCL-NOS or ALCL, those with AITL had a trend towards improved median PFS (51.4 mo vs. 18.4 mo, p=0.14) and improved median OS (not reached vs. 73.1 mo, p=0.26). At 5 years, PFS was worse for CTCL (18.6%, 95% CI: 9.7%-30.0%) compared to PTCL subtypes (43.8%; 95% CI: 37.3%-50.0%)(p Disease status at the time of HCT was associated with PFS (p Conclusions: We present the largest series of HCT in TCL. In this dataset, HCT provided durable disease control for a significant portion of pts with relapsed or refractory or otherwise high risk TCL. Depth of response to therapy immediate prior to HCT was associated with PFS. Patients with AITL appeared to have a trend towards improved outcome with HCT compared to other common PTCL histologies. Patients with CTCL had a higher rate of relapse compared to PTCL subtypes, but OS was similar. MRD HCTs were associated with lower TRM. This data supports the curative potential of HCT in a patient group with otherwise poor survival and limited treatment options.

Background: Primary and secondary [post-essential thrombocythemia (ET) or polycythemia vera (PV)] Myelofibrosis (MF) are clonal hematopoietic neoplasms marked by constitutive JAK-STAT activation, bone marrow fibrosis, cytopenias, and constitutional symptom burden. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the only curative option in this disease. Median overall survival (OS) after JAK inhibitor (JAKi) discontinuation is poor, ranging from 6-24 months (Harrision et al. Ann Hematol. 2020). Haploidentical (Haplo)-HCT with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has improved donor availability, but data on post-HCT outcomes in MF remain scarce. Herein, we describe clinical outcomes of patients (pts) with MF who underwent haplo-HCT with PTCy. Methods: We conducted a multi-institutional study where we retrospectively reviewed charts to obtain pt, disease, and treatment characteristics of MF pts who underwent haplo-HCT from 2000 to 2019. Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD), relapse, and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were described as cumulative incidences. OS and relapse free survival (RFS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate analyses were conducted with Cox or Fine and Gray regression. Results: Fifty-eight adult pts from 11 centers underwent haplo-HCT and were included in the analysis. Pt, disease, and HCT characteristics are listed in Table 1. Thirty-four (59%) pts were over 60 years of age at the time of HCT. Of the 53 pts in whom driver mutation data was available, JAK2 was reported in 34 (64%), CALR in 10 (19%), MPL in 4 (8%), and 5 (9%) were triple-negative. Twenty-two (38%) pts had HCT-CI ≥ 3. Median CD34+ cell dose was 6.81 (range: 2.3-28.6) x 106/kg. All pts received PTCy as a part of GVHD prophylaxis regimen. Median follow-up in this study was 28 (range: 3.3-75.7) months. Neutrophil and platelet engraftment was reported in 53 (91%) and 47 (81%) pts at a median time of 20 (range: 14-70) and 31 (range: 15-225) days, respectively. Five pts (9%) had graft failure. The cumulative incidences of all-grade acute and chronic GVHD were in 44% (95% CI: 31-56%) at 6 months and 31% (95% CI: 18-44%) at 2 years. Grade 3-4 acute GVHD was seen in 5 (9%) pts. Post-HCT relapse/disease persistence occurred in 12 (21%) pts with a median of 416 (range: 28-917) days. The 2-year estimates of OS, RFS, relapse and NRM were 69% (95% CI: 55-80%), 52% (95% CI: 37-65%), 21% (95% CI: 11-34%) and 27% (95% CI: 16-39%) respectively (Fig 1). On univariate analyses (Table 2), older age (HR 2.17, P=.012) and a higher HCT-CI (HR 1.4, P Conclusions: Based on this study, we conclude that haplo-HCT with PTCy is a valid option in pts with MF. The graft failure rates appear to be similar to those reported with sibling and unrelated donors. Older age, higher HCT-CI and bone marrow as graft source were associated with inferior outcomes. JAKi use prior to HCT or type of driver mutation did not significantly affect outcomes.

Background Haplo-HCT emerged as a reliable option for patients with high risk hematological malignancies with no HLA-matched related or unrelated donors available. Retrospective registry data suggest comparable outcomes to HLA-matched donors; however, relatively little is known regarding predictors of disease relapse following haplo-HCT. We hypothesize that attainment of full-donor CD3 and CD33 chimerism at day 30 (D30) and 100 (D100) is associated with lower incidence of relapse after haplo-HCT. Methods We undertook a retrospective analysis of 78 patients who underwent haplo-HCT at the Ohio State University James Cancer Hospital between January 2013 and December 2017. The associations between patient characteristics including CD3/CD33 donor chimerisms and the cumulative incidence rate (CIR) of relapse were evaluated using proportional sub-distribution hazards model, treating death without relapse as the competing risk. The models were built adopting a landmark analysis approach at D30 and D100. Progression-free survival (PFS) was estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. Results Median age at haplo-HCT was 56 (20-74) years and 68% were males. 50% had acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome, and 54% had intermediate disease risk index (DRI). Most patients (85%) received reduced-intensity conditioning and 50% received bone marrow (BM) grafts. Complete (100%) CD3 donor chimerism was observed in 63 (84%) patients at D30, and subsequently 59 (95%) patients at D100. Complete CD33 donor chimerism was observed in 67 (89%) patients at D30, and subsequently 56 (88%) patients at D100. In univariable D30 landmark analysis, the CIR of relapse was significantly lower in patients who achieved complete CD3 (and CD33) chimerism compared with patients with less than complete chimerism (Figure 1A; p Conclusions Complete CD3 and CD33 donor chimerisms at D30 and D100 predict a patient's risk for relapse following haplo-HCT. We observed a strong association between CD3 chimeric status at D30 with DRI, as well suggestive that high risk disease may be associated with impaired immune reconstitution after transplant and perhaps a less robust graft vs disease effect.

Introduction Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains an effective treatment option for many patients with systemic AL amyloidosis (AL). However, the decision to utilize maintenance therapy following ASCT remains controversial and largely unexplored. Furthermore, the growing relevance of cytogenetics in AL may help dictate this maintenance decision as well. It is also relevant to note the emergence of novel targeted therapy options for AL patients, including the plasma cell monoclonal antibody daratumumab, that offer an exciting option in combination therapies with ASCT. As such, the present study aims to a) determine the prognostic significance of utilizing maintenance therapy following ASCT b) assess the potential impact of cytogenetics on this decision, and c) present novel data on the survival benefits of daratumumab-treated patients who have undergone ASCT. Methods A retrospective chart review was performed on 50 consecutive AL patients who underwent ASCT at The Ohio State University. Patients received high dose Melphalan (140 or 200 mg/m2) prior to ASCT. Patients were divided into subgroups based on FISH, and whether or not they had received maintenance therapy following transplant. Primary endpoints were progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), both estimated via the Kaplan-Meier survival function. The log-rank test was used to test the equality of survivor functions between different groups of patients. Results Twenty-eight patients (56%) received maintenance and 22 (44%) did not. There was no difference in age, dose of melphalan used, disease stage and number of organs involved between the two groups. There was no statistically significant difference in OS (p=0.32) and PFS (p=0.66) between patients who received maintenance versus those patients who did not receive maintenance (Figure 1A). Among patients with abnormal FISH, there was no difference in survival between the two groups (OS-p=0.65; PFS-p=0.15) (Figure 1B). Patients with three or more organs with AL involvement had worse OS/PFS versus those with 2 or less (OS-p=0.001; PFS-p=0.015). However, among these patients with 2 or more organs involved, the decision to utilize maintenance vs not showed no difference in PFS/OS. Lastly, further evaluation of a subset of patients treated with daratumumab showed no difference in outcome whether or not they underwent ASCT or consolidation. Conclusion In this small retrospective analysis, maintenance therapy post ASCT had no impact on the PFS or OS of patients with AL, even when further stratified based on degree of organ involvement. Survival was also not affected by cytogenetic abnormalities or with addition of novel monoclonal-targeted therapies. It is clear that a larger prospective study is needed to assess the benefit of maintenance post ASCT in AL amyloid patients.

7515 Background: Therapy-related AML (tAML) is a long-term complication of cytotoxic cancer therapy. It is characterized by adverse genetics and inferior survival outcomes when compared to de novo AML. A proposed mechanism in tAML pathogenesis includes treatment-induced selection of clones harboring pre-existing mutations (i.e. clonal hematopoiesis, CH). We hypothesize that genotoxic therapies used to treat prior malignancy drive leukemogenesis through different mechanisms leading to unique clonal compositions. Methods: AML patients (pts) treated at The Ohio State University between 2015-2018 were included. Genetic profiling was performed using Miseq Illumina platform with a 49-gene targeted sequencing panel at our clinical laboratory. Results: We studied 337 AML pts (Table), of whom 53% had smoking history. Mutations involving ASXL1 were more common in smokers vs non-smokers (14% vs 5.8%, p= .001), while JAK2 mutations were more common in non-smokers (8% vs 1.2%, p= .003). Regarding specific genotoxic therapies and mutations in tAML, we investigated common CH-associated mutations including DNMT3A, TET2, and ASXL1 (DTA mutations). In tAML pts, those exposed to radiotherapy experienced a higher frequency of DTA (52% vs 27%, p= .05), NPM1 (21% vs 0%, p= .002), and SRSF2 (15% vs 0%, p= .01) mutations, and conversely, a lower incidence of TP53 mutations (21% vs 46%, p= .04). Pts with history of cytotoxic chemotherapy had a lower incidence of DTA mutations, including those who received platinum agents (8% vs 49%, p= .005) and taxanes (7% vs 52%, p< .001), but had a higher incidence of TP53 mutations (75% vs 25%, p< .001 for platinum; 53% vs 25%, p= .04 for taxanes). Similarly, alkylators and anthracyclines were associated with lower incidence of DNMT3A (0% vs 20%, p= .009) and ASXL1 (0% vs 12.5%, p= .04) mutations. Conclusions: Different genotoxic agents demonstrate unique effects in leukemia development. Our data suggest that CH clones with DTA mutations may be enriched with smoking and radiotherapy, while cytotoxic chemotherapy may confer a higher incidence of TP53 mutations. Given the adverse prognosis of TP53 mutated AML, identification of pre-existing CH clones might influence treatment selection in solid tumor pts receiving anticancer therapy. [Table: see text]

Introduction: Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains an effective treatment option for many patients with systemic AL amyloidosis (AL). However, the decision to utilize maintenance therapy following ASCT remains controversial and largely unexplored. Studies have shown the benefit of post-ASCT maintenance therapy in multiple myeloma (MM) with lenalidomide, but to date, no study has evaluated maintenance in AL patients following ASCT. Furthermore, the growing relevance of cytogenetics in AL may help dictate the incorporation of maintenance therapy as well. It is also relevant to note the emergence of novel targeted therapy options for AL patients, including the plasma cell monoclonal antibody daratumumab, that could be a valuable addition to combination therapies. As such, the present study aims to a) determine the prognostic significance of utilizing maintenance therapy following ASCT b) assess the potential role of cytogenetics on the efficacy of maintenance treatment, and c) investigate the outcomes of daratumumab-treated patients who have undergone ASCT. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 50 consecutive AL patients treated at The Ohio State University who underwent ASCT. Patients received high dose Melphalan (140 or 200 mg/m2) prior to ASCT. Patients were divided into subgroups based on FISH data obtained within 90 days of diagnosis, as well as whether or not they had received maintenance therapy following transplant, which was defined as therapy greater than six months following ASCT. Patients' characteristics were summarized using medians and ranges, or frequencies and percentages, and compared using Mann-Whitney rank sum test or fisher exact test. Primary endpoints were progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), per updated NCCN guidelines, including both organ and hematologic criteria. PFS was defined as the time from date of transplant to day of progression or death from any cause. OS was defined as the time from date of transplant to death from any cause, with censoring those who were still alive at the last follow up. Kaplan-Meier survival function was used to estimate the PFS and OS. The log-rank test was used to test the equality of survivor functions between different groups of patients. Results: Twenty-eight patients (56%) received maintenance and 22 (44%) did not. Majority of patients received lenalidomide maintenance. The median age at transplant was 58 (range 33-71) years, with 66% male. There was no difference in age, dose of melphalan used, disease stage and number of organs involved between the two groups. There was no statistically significant difference in OS (p=0.32) and PFS (p=0.66) between patients who received maintenance versus those patients who did not receive maintenance (Figure 1A). Among patients with abnormal FISH, there was no difference in survival between these two groups as well (OS: p=0.65; PFS: p=0.15) (Figure 1B). Finally, we tested the efficacy of daratumumab in combination therapy with ASCT in a small patient subset. There was no difference in OS or PFS among patients who underwent ASCT for consolidation, whether or not they received daratumumab. Conclusion: In this small retrospective analysis, maintenance therapy post ASCT had no impact on the PFS or OS of patients with AL. Furthermore, survival was not affected by maintenance in patients with cytogenetic abnormalities or addition of novel monoclonal antibodies. A larger prospective study is needed to assess the benefit of maintenance post ASCT and daratumumab in AL amyloid patients. Disclosures Rosko: Vyxeos: Other: Travel support.

Introduction: Systemic light chain amyloidosis (AL) is a clonal plasma-cell neoplasm that carries a poor prognosis. Efforts are being made at recognizing this disease earlier and developing better prognostic tools as AL is frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage. Cytogenetic analysis and its prognostic relevance have been well studied in multiple myeloma (MM), a related disorder, but remain relatively unknown and less widely reported in AL literature. Previous studies have demonstrated that AL amyloidosis exhibits an increased incidence of translocation t(11;14). However, with an extensive array of fluorescence-in-situ hybridization (FISH) probes now available, multiple other cytogenetic abnormalities are being identified in AL at diagnosis. In addition, it is well known that cardiac involvement in AL is an independent negative prognostic factor for these patients; however, the implications of cytogenetics for these high-risk patients remains largely unexplored. Finally, with the advent of novel non-transplant therapy options for AL patients, we look to evaluate the relevance of daratumumab in this setting. As such, the present study aims to a) determine the most relevant FISH abnormalities in AL patients and establish their importance as independent prognostic factors for response to therapy and in survival, b) assess the impact of cytogenetics on the survival of cardiac AL patients, and c) determine the effect of daratumumab on the survival of patients with AL. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 140 consecutive AL patients treated at The Ohio State University. This cohort included 20 patients who received daratumumab. Patients were divided into subgroups based on FISH data obtained within 90 days of diagnosis. Hyperdiploidy was defined as trisomies of at least 2 chromosomal loci. Primary endpoints were progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and Kaplan Meier curves were used to calculate PFS and OS. Results: The median age at diagnosis was 62 years (range: 33-88) and 55% were male. Median number of organs involved was 2, and 49% and 65% had cardiac and kidney involvement, respectively. Chromosomal abnormalities were detected in 86 (61%) patients. Translocation t(11;14) was the most prevalent (44%) aberration followed by hyperdiploidy (43%). We observed a statistically significant relationship between several FISH abnormalities and increased plasma cell burden (PC) (≥10%), including gain (+) 5p/5q (p=0.025), del13q (0.009), +11q (p Conclusion: Our findings reveal the effect of hyperdiploidy on PC tumor burden, overall survival, and its importance within the high-risk cardiac AL patient population. The results with daratumumab in our patient subset with gain 1q is intriguing in its own right but identification of the mechanism by which the effect of this mutation is abrogated merits further exploration as its use only continues to grow.

Two new hybrid uranyl-carboxyphosphonate cage clusters built from uranyl peroxide units were crystallized from aqueous solution under ambient conditions in approximately two months. The clusters are built from uranyl hexagonal bipyramids and are connected by employing a secondary metal linker, the 2-carboxyphenylphosphonate ligand. The structure of cluster A is composed of a ten-membered uranyl polyhedral belt that is capped on either end of an elongated cage by five-membered rings of uranyl polyhedra. The structure of cluster B consists of 24 uranyl cations that are arranged into 6 four-membered rings of uranyl polyhedra. Four of the corresponding topological squares are fused together to form a sixteen-membered double uranyl pseudobelt that is capped on either end by 2 topological squares. Cluster A crystallizes over a wide pH range of 4.6-6.8, while cluster B was isolated under narrower pH range of 6.9-7.8. Studies of their fate in aqueous solution upon dissolution of crystals by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) provide evidence for their persistence in solution. The well-established characteristic fingerprint from the absorption spectra of the uranium(VI) cations disappears and becomes a nearly featureless peak; nonetheless, the two compounds fluoresce at room temperature.

Two complex cage clusters built from uranyl hexagonal bipyramids and multiple types of bridges between uranyl ions, U(30)Py(10)Ox(5) and U(38)Py(10)Nt(4), were crystallized from aqueous solution under ambient conditions. These are built from 30 uranyl hexagonal bipyramids, 10 pyrophosphate groups, and five oxalate bridges in one case, and 38 uranyl hexagonal bipyramids, 10 pyrophosphate groups, and four nitrate groups in the other. The crystal compositions are (H(3)O)(10)Li(18)K(22)[(UO(2))(30)(O(2))(30)(P(2)O(7))(10)(C(2)O(4))(5)](H(2)O)(22) and Li(24)K(36)[(UO(2))(38)(O(2))(40)(OH)(8)(P(2)O(7))(10)(NO(3))(4)](NO(3))(4)(H(2)O)(n) for U(30)Py(10)Ox(5) and U(38)Py(10)Nt(4), respectively. Cluster U(30)Py(10)Ox(5) crystallizes over a narrow range of solution pH that encourages incorporation of both oxalate and pyrophosphate, with incorporation of oxalate only being favored under more acidic conditions, and pyrophosphate only under more alkaline conditions. Cluster U(38)Py(10)Nt(4) contains two identical lobes consisting of uranyl polyhedra and pyrophosphate groups, with these lobes linked into the larger cluster through four nitrate groups. The synthesis conditions appear to have prevented closure of these lobes, and a relatively high nitrate concentration in solution favored formation of the larger cluster.
