Abstract Abstract 3642 Purpose: The reactive pathologic background in nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) consists of lymphocytes and histocytes. Lymphopenia is a negative prognostic factor in NLPHL as it is also in Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL). In cHL, tumor-associated macrophages recruited from circulating monocytes are a negative prognostic factor for survival. Thus, we studied if the peripheral blood absolute lymphocyte count/absolute monocyte count ratio at diagnosis (ALC/AMC-DX), as a surrogate biomarker of the host response against the neoplastic lymphocytic and/or histiocytic (L&H) cells, affects survival in NLPHL. Patients and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the association between ALC/AMC-DX and survival in 103 consecutive NLPHL patients that were followed at Mayo Clinic from 1974 to 2010. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and area under the curve (AUC) were used for ALC/AMC-DX cut-off value analysis and proportional-hazards models were used to compare survival based on the ALC/AMC-DX ratio. Results: The cohort included 67 (65%) males and 36 (35%) females. Eighty-three percent of patients presented with stage I/II and 17% with stage III/IV. Sixty-five (63%) patients were treated with radiation alone; 20 (20%) patients with chemotherapy alone; and 18 (17%) patients with chemotherapy and radiation. The median follow-up period was 8.9 years (range: 0.3–31 years). An ALC/AMC-DX ≥ 2.1 was the best cut-off value for survival with an empirical AUC of 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.78 to 0.88), a sensitivity of 70% (95% CI, 61% to 76%) and specificity of 84% (95%CI, 59% to 82%). The cut-off value for ALC/AMC-DX ≥ 2.1 was validated by the k-fold cross validation method, showing a cross validation ROC with an AUC of 0.82 (95% CI, 0.72 to 0.93) for an ALC/AMC-DX ≥ 2.1. Using Kaplan-Meier analysis, we studied overall survival (OS), lymphoma-specific survival (LSS), progression-free survival (PFS), and time to progression (TTP) based on ALC/AMC-DX ≥ 2.1. Patients with an ALC/AMC-DX ≥ 2.1 experienced an superior OS, LSS, PFS, and TTP compared with patients with an ALC/AMC-DX < 2.1: [OS: median was 22.1 years vs 6.3 years, 10-years OS rates of 89% (95%CI, 80% to 98%) vs 44% (95%CI, 27% to 65%), p < 0.0001, respectively; LSS: median was not reached vs 7.3 years, 10-years LSS rates of 99% (95%CI, 90% to 100%) vs 45% (95%CI, 29% to 67%), p < 0.0001, respectively; PFS: median was 20.6 years vs 4.6 years, 10-years PFS rates of 84% (95%CI, 80% to 97%) vs 26% (95%CI, 18% to 55%), p < 0.0001, respectively; and TTP: median was not reached vs 5.5 years, 10-years TTP rates of 93% (95%CI, 85% to 99%) vs 29% (95%CI, 19% to 57%), p < 0.0001, respectively]. After adjusting for the International Prognostic Factors and the International Prognostic Score, ALC/AMC-DX remained an independent prognostic factor for OS {hazard ratio (HR), 0.42, 95%CI, 0.23 to 0.64, p< 0.004]; LSS [HR, 0.14; 95%CI, 0.04 to 0.23, p <0.0004]; PFS [HR, 0.14; 95%CI, 0.03 to 0.34, p < 0.001], and TTP [HR, 0.16, 95%CI, 0.04–0.34, p <0.002]. Conclusion: ALC/AMC-DX is an independent prognostic factor for survival and provides a single biomarker to predict clinical outcomes in NLPHL.

Abstract Abstract 4863 Introduction: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is an uncommon lymphoma with a good prognosis. However, the characteristics of HL in Peruvian patients have not been previously reported. HL is thought to be related to chronic Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection, and new biological markers such as EBV, CD68 and FOXP3 expression could be of potential biological interest in this entity. Our study aims to identify prognostic factors for survival in Peruvian patients with classical HL. Methods: This study was approved by the IRB at our institution. Between January 2001 and December 2009, patients diagnosed with classical HL were selected for this study. HIV-negative patients were excluded. Clinical data were reviewed retrospectively and patient's biopsies were analyzed for the immunohistochemical expression of CD20, PAX5, CD30, CD15, FOXP3 and CD68. Samples were also analyzed for the presence of EBV-encoded RNA (EBER) using an in situ hybridization (ISH) technique. Clinicopathological characteristics will be presented using descriptive statistics. Overall survival (OS) estimates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. For the multivariate survival analysis, Cox proportional-hazard regression test was used. P-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS: A total of 60 patients with a pathological diagnosis of classical HL were included in our study. The median age was 55 years (range: 18–98 years) with a 7:3 male predominance. Advanced stages (stage 3 and 4) were seen in 52%, ECOG performance status >1 in 15% and B symptoms in 67%. White blood cell (WBC) counts >15,000 cells/mm3 was seen in 7%, lymphocyte count <600 cells/mm3 in 12%, albumin levels <4 g/dl in 70% and hemoglobin <10.5 g/dl in 40% of the patients. FOXP3 expression >25% was seen in 45%, CD68 >25% in 48% and EBER 2–3+ in 53%. ABVD was the preferred therapy, accounting for 90% of the cases and a complete response to ABVD was obtained in 78%. With a median follow-up 34 months, the median overall survival (OS) has not been reached and the 5-yr OS was 80%. In the univariate analysis, ECOG >1 (p=0.0001), elevated LDH levels (p=0.04) and lymphocyte count <600 cells/mm3 (p=0.05) were adverse prognostic factors. Age, sex, B symptoms, WBC, albumin and hemoglobin levels were not associated with survival. In the multivariate analysis, only ECOG >1 (p=0.01) was an independent adverse prognostic factor in Peruvian patients with classical HL. CONCLUSION: ECOG is a best prognostic factor in Peruvian patients with a diagnosis of classical Hodgkin lymphoma. CD68 expression, EBV status and FOXP3 expression by the malignant cells were not prognostic factors for OS in our cohort of patients.

Abstract Infused autograft absolute lymphocyte count (A-ALC) is a prognostic factor for survival post-autologous peripheral hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (APHSCT) for lymphoma. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) affect tumor growth by suppression of host anti-tumor immunity. Thus, we set out to investigate if the infused autograft lymphocyte /monocyte ratio (A-LMR), as a biomarker of host immunity (i.e., lymphocytes) and MDSCs (i.e., monocytes), affects survival post-APHSCT in patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Only patients that collected their stem cells through the peripheral blood were included in the study. From 1994 to 2012, 183 cHL patients qualified for the study. The 183 patients were randomly divided into a training set (n = 122) and a validation set (n = 61). Receiver operating characteristic and area under the curve (AUC) identified an A-LMR ≥ 1 as the best cut-off value (AUC = 0.8, p < 0.01) and validated by the k-fold cross-validation (AUC = 0.8) in the training set. Multivariate analysis showed A-LMR to be an independent prognostic factor for survival in the training set. Patients with an A-LMR ≥ 1.0 experienced a superior overall survival (OS) versus patients with an A-LMR < 1.0 (median OS was not reached vs 40.4 months, 5-year OS rates of 86% (95 CI, 72%-93%) vs 43% (95 CI, 28-58 %), p < 0.0001, respectively) in the training set. In the validation set, an A-LMR ≥ 1 showed a median OS of not reached vs 41.8 months for an A-LMR < 1, 5 year OS rates of 90% (95 CI, 73%-97%) vs 48% (95 CI, 29-68%), p < 0.0001, respectively. A-LMR provides a platform to engineer an immunocompetent autograft to improve clinical outcomes in cHL patients undergoing APHSCT. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
