Purpose: Patients with relapsed mantle-cell lymphoma have poor prognosis and short survival. Our aim was to determine the efficacy of nonablative allogeneic stem-cell transplantation in patients with relapsed mantle-cell lymphoma. Patients and Methods: Eighteen patients were treated in one of two consecutive trials. Thirteen patients underwent a conditioning regimen of fludarabine (30 mg/m2 daily for 3 days), cyclophosphamide (750 mg/m2 daily for 3 days), and high-dose rituximab. For the remaining five patients, the conditioning regimen consisted of cisplatin (25 mg/m2 daily for 4 days), fludarabine (30 mg/m2 daily for 2 days), and cytarabine (1,000 mg/m2 daily for 2 days). Tacrolimus and methotrexate were used for graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis. Results: The median age was 56.5 years. Patients underwent a median of three prior chemotherapy regimens. Prior autologous transplantation failed in five (28%) patients and 16 (89%) had chemosensitive disease. Donor cell engraftment occurred in all patients. Eight patients (44%) required no platelet or RBC transfusion, and acute graft-versus-host disease of greater than grade 2 did not develop in any patient. The day-100 mortality was 0%. Complete remission (CR) occurred in 17 patients. Three patients progressed, and one was reinduced into continuous CR with donor lymphocyte infusion. With a median follow-up period of 26 months, the actuarial probability of current-event-free-survival at 3 years was 82% (95% CI, 65% to 99%). Conclusion:Our data suggest that nonablative allogeneic transplantation is a safe and potentially effective strategy for patients with relapsed and chemosensitive mantle-cell lymphoma.

Abstract We herein document a complete response of extensive chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) to a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, ibrutinib. A 41 years old female with primary refractory MCL underwent mismatched unrelated donor (MMUD) allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in December 2011 (conditioning with CY/TBI and alemtuzumab, graft=6.6x 106/kg CD-34+ cells, tacrolimus alone for GVHD prevention). Following engraftment on day 11, she developed grade III acute GvHD involving the skin and gut on day 17 of transplantation that persisted beyond 100 days post-transplant. Her cGvHD was treated with steroids, but remained active and extensive. Despite persistent cGvHD and 100% donor chimerism she relapsed in July 2012. Treatment with radiation and bendamustine with rituximab failed. By December 2013, the patient had extensive cGvHD manifesting as scleromatous skin thickening, oral ulcers and sclerosis of the buccal mucosa, ocular dryness and diarrhea, and was started on ibrutinib1 560 mg once daily for relapsed MCL. After 8 weeks of therapy, cGvHD had begun to improve. Oral steroids were reduced and ultimately stopped after 26 weeks of ibrutinib; after 30 weeks treatment all cGvHD manifestations resolved completely. A complete remission for MCL was documented at 8 weeks of ibrutinib initiation. Currently she continues to be on 560 mg daily ibrutinib without cGvHD exacerbation or MCL relapse for 22 weeks and 52 weeks, respectively. Chronic graft versus host disease (cGvHD) is mediated donor T cells. The role of B cells in the pathogenesis of cGvHD is increasingly recognized. Two murine studies have explored the role of ibrutinib in cGVHD-like syndromes, one in which there is T cell driven sclerodermatous cGvHD and a second in which there is Ab driven multiorgan system cGvHD that includes bronchiolitis obliterans (BO). Administration of ibrutinib decreased the incidence and severity of sclerodermatous, and improved pre-existing lesions and also improved pulmonary fibrosis and reduced BO. Animals lacking BTK and ITK did not develop cGVHD, indicating that these molecules are critical to cGVHD development. Our report provides the evidence that BTK inhibition led to complete resolution of cGvHD and supports exploration of its role in future clinical trials. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
