Free Survival

BACKGROUND Patients with adverse cytogenetic or secondary AML (s-AML) have significantly worse outcomes and lower survival rates. In this high risk subgroup of patients, early consolidation with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in first complete remission (CR1) can improve results, especially in those who achieve negative measurable residual disease (MRD-). More effective treatments than standard 7+3 are needed. CLAG-M is a salvage regimen that has demonstrated high response rates with good tolerance, and seems to be promising in the upfront setting. AIMS To estimate CR and MRD- rates, overall survival (OS) and event free survival (EFS) in transplant eligible patients with high risk AML treated in our center.To compare CR rate and transplant feasibility in CR1 with 7+3 vs. CLAG-M as induction treatment in s-AML. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed adult patients (18-65 years old) with high risk AML (defined by adverse cytogenetic according to ELN2017 or s-AML) who were treated in our institution between 2010 and 2018. All patients were transplant eligible and had an available donor. Clinical information was collected from medical records. We evaluated CR1 and MRD- rates, EFS and OS. We also compared CR rates and HSCT feasibility in s-AML after treatment induction with CLAG-M and 7+3. The survival analysis was estimated with Kaplan-Meier method and the comparison between variables was performed through log-rank test. RESULTS Twenty-one patients were included (13 s-AML and 8 with adverse cytogenetic). The median age at diagnosis was 54 years (21-64); 13 female/8 male. Out of 21 patients, 14 received 7+3 induction and 7 CLAG-M. The median follow-up time was 11 months (0.9-90.8), median EFS and OS for the whole group was 1.05 and 13.5 months, respectively. Two-year OS was 35%. CR1 was achieved in sixteen patients (76%), 10 of them MRD-. The median time to CR1 was 33 days, the median OS of these patients was 26.7 months (figure 1). Eleven patients (52%) were refractory to first induction, 10/14 in the 7+3 subgroup, and only 1/7 patients treated with CLAG-M. Six of them converted to CR after reinduction (5 with CLAG-M). Fourteen (67%) underwent HSCT in CR1. The median time to HSCT consolidation was 106 days. The median relapse free survival in transplanted patients has not been reached (Table 1). Considering only s-AML, 6 patients received 7+3 and 7 CLAG-M. Median age in 7+3 subgroup was 41 vs. 57 years in CLAG-M. The median OS was 13.5 months. In the 7+3 cohort, only 1 achieved CR (16%); the other five received reinduction with CLAG-M, and 4 converted to CR1. The median time to CR1, EFS and OS were 82 days, 1 month and 26 months respectively. In contrast, 4 of the 7 patients (57%) that received CLAG-M achieved CR1, but only 1 of the 3 that were refractory could convert to CR. The median time to CR1 in patients treated with CLAG-M was 27 days, median EFS 7.5 months and median OS has not been reached (Figure 2). There were no statistically significant differences between the two treatment groups. Eight patients (62%) could be bridged to HSCT, 4 of each subgroup (Table 2). CONCLUSIONS Our results in this real life small cohort of high risk AML were similar to historical controls. In the s-AML subgroup, differences between 7+3 and CLAG-M were not statistically significant probably due to the low number of patients analyzed. However, patients who received CLAG-M required less cycles of treatment to achieved CR1, allowing HSCT rapidly in this selected population. Since most of the refractory patients to 7+3 responded to reinduction with CLAG-M, both groups had similar transplant rates. According to our experience CLAG-M might be an attractive treatment option with high CR rates and acceptable safety profile. In this high risk AML population, two thirds of the patients were effectively "bridged" to HSCT with a 2-year OS rate of 35%. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Conditioning Regimens

Background: In recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), organ toxicity is a barrier to administering high-intensity conditioning regimens. We hypothesized that determinants of acute organ toxicity are specific to individual conditioning regimens. We sought to characterize toxicities across common transplantation regimens, evaluate their prognostic implication, and derive predictors of severe toxicity at the regimen level. Methods: This retrospective study included adults undergoing first allogeneic HSCT at a single center between the years of 2001 and 2014 (median: 2010). Patients received grafts from matched sibling or unrelated donors and were conditioned with any of the following regimens: Cyclophosphamide + TBI (Cy/TBI), Busulfan + Cyclophosphamide (Bu/Cy), Fludarabine + 12.8 mg Busulfan (Flu/Bu4), Fludarabine + 6.4 mg Busulfan (Flu/Bu2), Fludarabine + 36-42 gr/m2 Treosulfan (Flu/Treo), and Fludarabine + 100-140 mg/m2 Melphalan (Flu/Mel). Toxicities were defined by the KDIGO scale for acute kidney injury (AKI) and by the CTCAE v. 5.0 for increases in total bilirubin, AST, ALT, and alkaline phosphatase (Alk. Phos.) The incidence of toxicities from the start of conditioning through 30 days post-transplantation was tabulated by regimen. Risk factors for severe organ toxicity were assessed within each regimen cohort using multivariable logistic regressions. Results: In a cohort of 707 patients, the median age was 52 years. The main indications for transplantation were acute leukemia (57%), myelodysplastic syndrome (13%), and aggressive lymphoma (9%). Graft-versus-host-disease prophylaxis included methotrexate in 80% of patients, and 56% received anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG). The most common regimens were Flu/Treo (n = 160) and Bu/Cy (n = 141). As expected, patient characteristics varied between regimens. The incidence of AKI and increased serum bilirubin in each regimen is shown in Figure 1A and 1B, respectively. Sinusoidal-obstructive syndrome (6% overall) accounted for only 17% of gr. ≥ 3 bilirubinemia in the entire cohort. Elevations in AST, ALT, and Alk. Phos of gr. ≥ 3 were not common (<8%). In multivariable logistic regression, AKI gr. ≥ 2, increased bilirubin gr. ≥ 3, AST gr. ≥ 3, and Alk. Phos. gr. ≥ 2 were associated with increased 100-day mortality (p < 0.05). Acute severe organ toxicity (ASOT) was defined as the occurrence of any of these toxicities. ASOT had an odds ratio (OR) of 3.4 (95% CI: 2.2-5.3) for 100-day mortality. Within each regimen, we studied the relationship between ASOT and transplantation/patient characteristics (Figure 1C). Elevations in baseline bilirubin were predictive of ASOT in Cy/TBI (OR: 1.68 [1.19-2.37]), while increasing creatinine was predictive in patients conditioned with Flu/Mel (OR: 1.43 [1.09-1.88]). High-risk disease (DRI) was associated with increased risk in patients receiving Flu/Bu4 (1.26 [1.01-1.58]). In patients treated with Bu/Cy, administration of ATG increased the risk of ASOT (1.31 [1.11-1.55]). Conclusion: Allogeneic stem cell transplantation recipients are at high risk for acute organ damage. We describe patterns of renal and liver toxicity across several regimens. Determinants of acute severe organ toxicity, defined as those associated with short-term mortality, are regimen dependent. Our findings suggest that these factors should be considered when selecting the preparative regimen. While requiring validation, the newly-defined composite endpoint of acute severe organ toxicity (ASOT) may be valuable in studying transplantation strategies.
