Purpose Primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. With conventional chemotherapy, patients typically die within 1 year. In all but one of the retrospective studies reported to date, bortezomib and lenalidomide seem to improve survival. We conducted a prospective phase II trial in patients with pPCL to assess the efficacy of an alternate regimen that combines standard chemotherapy, a proteasome inhibitor, and high-dose melphalan and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDM/ASCT) followed by either allogeneic transplantation or bortezomib/lenalidomide maintenance. Patients and Methods Patients 70 years old and younger with newly diagnosed pPCL received four alternating cycles of bortezomib, dexamethasone plus doxorubicin or cyclophosphamide. Peripheral blood stem cells were collected from responding patients with < 1% of circulating plasma cells before HDM/ASCT. As consolidation, young patients received a reduced-intensity conditioning allograft, whereas the remaining patients underwent a second HDM/ASCT followed by 1 year of bortezomib, lenalidomide, dexamethasone. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Results Forty patients (median age, 57 years; range, 27 to 71 years) were enrolled. The median follow-up was 28.7 months. In the intention-to-treat analysis, the median PFS and overall survival were 15.1 (95% CI, 8.4; -) and 36.3 (95% CI, 25.6; -) months, respectively. The overall response rate to induction was 69%. One patient underwent a syngeneic allograft and 25 HDM/ASCT (16 of whom subsequently received a reduced-intensity conditioning allograft and seven a second ASCT followed by maintenance). Conclusion In this prospective trial in patients with pPCL, we show that bortezomib, dexamethasone plus doxorubicin or cyclophosphamide induction followed by transplantation induces high response rates and appears to significantly improve PFS.

Abstract Waldenström’s macroglobulinaemia (WM) is a relatively rare disorder that primarily affects elderly patients. Conventional therapies for symptomatic WM result in response rates of up to 70%. However, complete responses are rare and the disease remains incurable. Due to the indolent nature of the disease and the older age of patients the role of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in the treatment of patients with WM has not been analyzed in large series. In this retrospective multicenter study we report the outcome of 201 WM patients (132 male, 69 female), who underwent ASCT between 1992 and 2005. The median age at transplant was 53 years (22–73) and the median time from diagnosis to transplant was 18 months (3–239). Forty patients (20%) were in 1st maximum response (MR1), 24 (12%) in ≥MR2, 83 (41%) in PR1, 27 (13%) in ≥PR2 and 27(14%) were primary refractory to treatment. Conditioning regimens were BEAM (44%), TBI/Cyclophosphamide or Melphalan (28%), Melphalan (14%), BuCy (2%) and others (12%). The source of stem cells was PB in 188, BM in 10, and both in 3 patients. All patients but 3 had successful engraftment. With a median follow-up of 26 months (5–163), 112 (56%) patients are alive and free of disease, 73 (36%) patients have relapsed after a median of 14 months (1–110) post ASCT. Fifty-two patients died, 36(18%) from disease progression and 16(8%) from treatment toxicity. Non- relapse mortality was 6% at 1 year. The actuarial OS was 86% at 1 year, 75% at 3 years, and 61% at 5 years. The probability of relapse was 20% at 1 year, 38% at 3 years and 55% at 5 years with an estimated PFS of 74%, 54% and 33% at 1, 3, and 5 years respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that, chemosensitive disease at the time of ASCT was the most important factor for NRM (p<0.001), relapse rate (p<0.01), PFS (p<0.001) and OS (p<0.001). In conclusion, this study suggests that ASCT is a safe procedure in patients with WM and that a significant proportion of heavily pre-treated patients with this disorder can respond to the procedure and achieve prolonged PFS.

Abstract Introduction Primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) is a rare form of plasma cell malignancy with poor prognosis (usually less than 12 months survival with conventional chemotherapy). Only one prospective study with Lenalidomide-Dex before high dose therapy has been recently reported1. Bortezomib-based regimens and high dose Melphalan/ autologous stem cell transplantation (HDM/ASCT) have shown promising results in small retrospective studies. We report here the first prospective multicenter phase II trial for pPCL patients (pts) treated with Bortezomib-Doxorubicine-Dexamethasone (PAD) / Bortezomib-Cyclosphosphamide-Dexamethasone (VCD) as induction before HDM/ASCT. With the aim to improve response and survival, allograft or second ASCT plus consolidation/maintenance with Lenalidomide-Bortezomib-Dex (VRD) were proposed. Patients and method Non-previously treated pts with a diagnosis of pPCL were enrolled in this phase II study of the IFM group from April 2010 to July 2013. PAD (dexa 40 mg + bortezomib 1,3 mg/m2 on day 1, 4, 8, 11 + doxorubicine 30 mg/m2 day 4) and VCD (dexa + bortezomib + cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m2 day 1, 8) were administrated alternatively each 21 days for 4 cycles. For responding patients with circulating plasma cell < 1%, peripheral stem cells were collected after Cyclophosphamide + G-CSF. Either (i) double HDM/ASCT was performed followed by consolidation/maintenance íVDR (dexa 40mg + bortezomib 1,3 mg/m2 on day 1, 4, 8, 11 + lenalidomide 15 mg day 1-15) each 3 months and Lenalidomide 15 mg 21/28 days on others months, for 1 yearý or (ii) tandem HDM/ASCT-reduced intensity conditioning-allograft if there were < 66 years-old. Primary end-point was progression free survival (PFS); secondary end-points were responses rates, overall survival (OS), feasibility, and toxicity. We evaluated the disease response to therapy with the IMWG criteria and the percentage of circulating plasma cells; minimal residual disease (MRD) was evaluated during follow-up. Peripheral circulating plasma cells and bone marrow plasmocytes were collected at diagnosis for centralized FISH and SNP array analysis. Results 40 pts were enrolled with a median age of 55y (27-71). Median follow-up was 12.6 months (7.6-24.8). At diagnosis, the median number of circulating plasma cell was 5.2 G/L (1.3-66). Twenty-two percent had creatinine clearance < 50 ml/min, and 11% < 30 ml/min, 44% had an ISS score of 2 and 37% ISS 3. After induction 35 pts are evaluable. In the intent to treat analysis, 25 (72%) responded (VGPR+CR 37%, PR 28%, SD 5%) and 10/35 (28%) were refractory (pts having circulating plasma cell ≥ 1%) and did not continue the study. Twenty-three of the 25 responding pts underwent HDM/auto and 20 pts are evaluable at 3 months: CR+VGPR 14/20 (70%), PR 4/20 (20%), 1/20 (5%) and PD 1/20 (5%). Second HDM/auto was performed in 6 pts and allograft in 12. Ten of the 14 (72%) evaluable pts achieved VGPR or better and 4/14 (28%) PR. Six pts are currently on consolidation/maintenance phase with VRD. Median PFS was 17.8 months. Median OS was not reached. Genomic data are shown in Table I. MDR evaluation will be presented later. Major toxicities were hematological and infections. Eight pts died: 5 during induction, 1 at HDM/ASCT and 2 post allograft while in relapse. Of note, 2 pts had meningeal involvement at relapse. Conclusion This first large study for pPCL patients with PAD/VCD as induction and HDM/ASCT is effective and induce high responses rates. Consolidation with Allograft or bortezomib-lenalidomide-dex is currently investigated. 1Musto P et al.
