Abstract Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with MYC and BCL2 protein concurrent expression, double- expressor lymphoma (DEL), by immunohistochemistry (IHC) was related with poor prognosis. To investigate the role of upfront autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in double-expresser lymphoma, we retrospectively evaluated 44 DLBCL patients with advanced stage and elevated LDH who received upfront ASCT. We used the cut off value of BCL2 was 50% and c-MYC was 40%. All patients were treated with frontline rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy. Median age of 44 patients was 52.0 years (range, 23 ~ 64 years). Two-year overall survival (OS) was 83.3% and progression free survival (PFS) was 76.6%. Double-expressor lymphoma (DEL) were detected 14 patients (31.8%). Two-year OS of the patients with DEL was 77.4%, non-DEL was 86.6%. Two-year PFS of the patients with DEL was 77.9% and non-DEL was 80.9%. Eleven (25.0%) patients were germinal center B-cell (GCB) subtype and 33 (75.0%) patients were non-GCB subtype. There was no survival difference between GCB and non-GCB subtype (Figure 1A, 1B). In the patients with GCB subtype, 2 (18.2%) patients were classified to DEL. OS and PFS were not different according to DEL. Among non-GCB subtype, the patients with DEL (n=12) showed the comparable OS and PFS compared to the patient with non-DEL (n=21). Two-year OS of DEL patients was 73.3%, non-DEL was 90.9%. Two-year PFS of DEL patients was 74.1 %, non-DEL was 82.6 (Figure 2A. 2B). In conclusion, MYC and BCL2 concurrent expression did not show the poor outcome among the high risk DLBCL patients treated with upfront ASCT regardless of molecular classification. It will be need to investigate the role of ASCT in these group of patients.

High-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) has become a standard consolidation treatment for patients with invasive lymphoma. The combination of cyclophosphamide, carmustine, and etoposide (CBV) is a commonly used conditioning regimen prior to auto-HSCT for patients with invasive lymphoma. Many modifications of the CBV regimen, including the addition of idarubicin, have been employed, with varying results. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of 36 patients with invasive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated with a conditioning regimen prior to auto-HSCT between January 2015 and June 2018. For our analysis, the patients were divided into two groups: one group received the classic CBV conditioning regimen and the other group received idarubicin at a dose of 8 mg/m2 for 3 days in addition to the CBV regimen. Overall survival (OS), median progression-free survival (PFS), adverse reactions, and hematopoietic reconstitution time were compared between the two groups. OS and PFS were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the log-rank test was used for comparison between groups. Cox regression was used for multivariable analysis of other clinical factors. The median follow-up time was 29 months. Among the 36 patients in the cohort, 19 were male and 17 were female, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.12 to 1. The median age of onset was 39.5 years; 18 patients were older than 40 years and 18 were younger than 40 years. Twenty-six patients (72%) had an international prognostic index score of 0-2 and 10 patients (28%) had a score of 3-5. According to Ann Arbor staging criteria, 9 patients (25%) had stage I-II disease and 27 patients (75%) had stage III-IV disease. A total of 21 patients achieved complete remission and 15 patients achieved partial remission before transplantation. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of neutrophil counts (P = 0.795) or platelet reconstitution time (P = 0.551). Also, there was no difference in adverse reactions between the two groups, suggesting that the addition of idarubicin to the conditioning regimen did not aggravate adverse reactions. OS and PFS were significantly longer in the idarubicin group than among patients who did not receive idarubicin. In the multivariable analysis, the use of idarubicin and complete remission state before auto-HSCT were associated with improved prognosis. These results indicate that the use of idarubicin with the CBV conditioning regimen prior to auto-HSCT is a safe and effective choice for patients with invasive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
