Abstract Abstract 4748 Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) Scores Correlates with Increased Readmissions and Days in Hospital in Patients Undergoing Myeloablative Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. Ellen Szwed, Jack W. Hsu, Wei Hou, Randy A. Brown, Christopher R. Cogle, John W. Hiemenz, W Stratford May, Jan S. Moreb, Baldeep Wirk, John R. Wingard. The hematopoietic stem cell transplant comorbidity index (HCT-CI) was developed to assess the impact of comorbidities in allogeneic stem cell transplant (AlloSCT) recipients. It has been shown to correlate with non-relapse mortality and overall survival in both the myeloablative, non-myeloablative (NMA), and reduced intensity (RIC) settings, regardless of graft source. However, the economic impact of allogeneic transplant in patients with comorbidities has not been assessed. We retrospectively analyzed 181 consecutive patients who underwent AlloSCT from an HLA identical sibling following either myleoablative (n= 109) or NMA/RIC (n=71) conditioning regimens between January 2001 and December 2008. The HCT-CI score was calculated according to the method of Sorror, et al. (Sorror ML, et al. Blood. 2005 106: 2912–2919). Median follow-up of the entire cohort was 2 years. As previously published, there was a statistically significant correlation between HCT-CI and both non-relapse mortality (HR = 1.147, p = 0.0170,) and overall survival (HR = 1.152, p=0.0001) at 2-years of 23% and 50% respectively. We found statistically significant correlations between the HCT-CI score and total number of hospital readmissions (mean = 1.92; r=0.192; p = 0.0098) and total days in hospital after initial discharge from hospital after stem cell infusion (mean = 22.4 days; r=0.156; p = 0.036). Interestingly, the correlation for number of hospital days did not become statistically significant until 180 days or greater after transplantation. There was no correlation between HCT-CI with graft source, relapse or graft-vs.-host disease. When we stratified the HCT-CI to either myeloablative (N=109) or NMA/RIC (N=71) conditioning regimens, the correlations between the HCT-CI and both non-relapse mortality and overall survival were still statistically significant. The differences in days of hospitalization remained statistically significant in the myeloablative setting, but not in the NMA/RIC setting. In conclusion, our analysis of AlloSCT recipients found a correlation between the HCT-CI and the number of readmissions and hospital length of stay for myeloablative but not NMA/RIC conditioning regimens, suggesting a higher HCT-CI score results in greater use of hospital resources and costs. The increase in resource utilization is greater after the immediate post-transplant period. Whether these conclusions also apply in other transplant settings will need to be investigated.

Abstract Background Despite the advances in the treatment of multiple myeloma using new targeted therapies and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) the disease remains largely incurable. Recent efforts in using reduced intensity allogeneic HSCT have been hampered by increased allograft-related morbidity and mortality. Several prospective studies comparing single or tandem autologous HSCT with planned tandem autologous-reduced intensity allogeneic HSCT (auto-allo) have shown no overall survival advantage despite improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and lower relapse rates with reduced intensity allograft, mainly due to increased non-relapse related mortality (NRM) rates. However, two of these prospective studies; the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation NMAM 2000 and the Italian group study with long term follow-up reported PFS and overall survival (OS) benefits in favor of the auto-allo arm. Currently allogeneic HSCT is recommended within the context of clinical trials and only in high risk multiple myeloma patients who continue to have a very poor outcome with autologous HSCT. While such clinical trials are ongoing there remains a need to address the role of autologous HSCT prior to reduced intensity allogeneic HSCT. The objective of this retrospective study is to evaluate the role of upfront cytoreductive autologous HSCT prior to allograft in the outcomes of patients who have undergone allograft following induction therapy. Study We performed a retrospective analysis of the EBMT database comparing the outcomes of patients who were planned to receive auto-allograft to those who underwent reduced intensity allograft (early RIC) without a prior autologous HSCT within one year from diagnosis. The data in 504 patients were previously reported at the ASH meeting 2010 (abstract 3512). We subsequently included additional patients and requested more information from the participating EBMT centers and updated the study. From 1996 to 2013 a total of 689 patients were registered as reduced intensity allograft. 517 patients were registered as planned auto-allograft; however, 73 did not receive the planned allograft. A total of 172 patients received reduced intensity allograft after induction treatment without prior auto-HSCT. Median age at first transplant was 53 years (range 20-72) in the auto-allo and 51 years (range 31-77) in the early RIC group. Median time from diagnosis was 6.6 months (range 2-156 months) in the auto-allo and 7.7 months (2.8-12.0) in the early RIC group. The disease status at the time of first transplant for the auto-allo group was CR - 8%, PR - 67%, other or missing - 25%; and for the RIC group was CR - 15%, PR - 62%, other or missing - 23%. Donors were HLA matched siblings in 88% and matched unrelated in 12% for the auto-allo group, and 84% siblings and 16% matched unrelated in the RIC group with no significant differences between the two groups. Results With a median follow-up of 93 months in the auto-allo and 84 months in RIC groups, PFS rates were significantly better at 3 and 5 years in the auto-allo group (45.6% and 34.2%) as compared to the RIC group (33.9% and 22.0%, p<0.001). Overall survival was also significantly improved in favor of the auto-allo (3 yr and 5 yr OS 67.9% and 58.9%) as compared to the RIC group (54.3% and 42.7%, P = 0.001). The non-relapse mortality (NRM) rates were lower in the auto-allo group as compared to RIC: 1 yr and 3 yr NRM were 8.1% and 14.1% in the auto-allo and 20.3% and 27.4% in early RIC group, p<0.001. We examined potential differences in outcomes based on use of novel agents, and used the year 2004 as a surrogate for introduction of novel agents to routine clinical practice. There were no significant differences by multivariate analysis in outcomes for patients transplanted before or after 2004. Conclusion This large multicenter retrospective study suggests that cytoreductive autologous HSCT prior to allograft is associated with improved PFS and OS. We are in the process of conducting an extended analysis to control for possible confounders. If the results are confirmed, future studies should be conducted to verify the importance of autologous stem cell transplant as part of the allograft treatment strategy.

e18503 Background: There is no standard treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) relapsing after allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT). Options include combination chemotherapy, withdrawal of immunosuppression, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI), and second SCT. Previous studies have used fludarabine, cytarabine, and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (FLAG) or second SCT separately for salvage therapy. Our institution uses FLAG followed by SCT from the same donor (FLAG/SCT) in this setting. We report a retrospective study of FLAG/SCT in MDS and AML patients relapsed after SCT. Methods: Patients who received FLAG/SCT for treatment of relapsed AML or MDS between 2009 and 2018 were identified using the bone marrow transplant database at University of California Davis. Their baseline characteristics and outcomes were determined using the electronic medical record. Descriptive statistics and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used to describe patients, rates of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and estimate survival times. Results: Nineteen patients received FLAG/SCT for AML (n=18) and MDS (n=1). Median time to relapse from first SCT was 145 days (range 41 to 960 days). Prior to FLAG/SCT, 17 patients had medullary relapse (median bone marrow blasts 27%; range 7-85%). Two patients had extramedullary relapse. Eighteen (94.7%) patients achieved complete remission (CR) after FLAG/SCT. Median follow-up time was 354 days from the first day of FLAG/SCT (range 7 to 2144 days). Six patients (31.6%) relapsed with median time to relapse of 334 days (range 78 to 679 days) after treatment. Overall survival at 2 years was 52.5%. Causes of death were relapsed AML (n=4; 21.1%), infection (n=4; 21.1%) complications of GvHD (n=3,15.8 %), and brain herniation (n=1, 5.3%). Acute GvHD grade I-IV and new onset chronic GvHD occurred in thirteen (68.4%) and eight patients (42.1%), respectively. Conclusions: FLAG/SCT for AML and MDS relapsing after SCT resulted in a high remission rate. The overall survival of over two years suggests that the second SCT augmented the graft versus leukemia effect. The GvHD rate increased after second SCT, but the rate and severity were manageable. FLAG/ SCT is a reasonable option for relapsed AML and MDS after SCT.
