Abstract The prognostic role of the transcription factor SOX11 in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is controversial. We investigated prognostic markers in a population-based cohort of 186 MCL cases. Seventeen patients (9%) did not require any therapy within the first 2 years after diagnosis and were retrospectively defined as having an indolent disease. As expected, indolent MCL had less frequent B symptoms and extensive nodal involvement and 88% of these cases expressed SOX11. In our cohort 13 cases (7.5%) lacked nuclear SOX11 at diagnosis. SOX11− MCL had a higher frequency of lymphocytosis, elevated level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and p53 positivity. The overall survival in the whole cohort, excluding 37 patients receiving autologous stem cell transplantation, was 3.1 year and in patients with indolent or nonindolent disease, 5.9 and 2.8 years, respectively (P = .004). SOX11− cases had a shorter overall survival, compared with SOX11+ cases, 1.5 and 3.2 years, respectively (P = .014). In multivariate analysis of overall survival, age > 65 (P = .001), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score ≥ 2 (P = .022), elevated LDH level (P = .001), and p53 expression (P = .001) remained significant, and SOX11 lost significance. We conclude that most indolent MCLs are SOX11+ and that SOX11 cannot be used for predicting an indolent disease course.

Background Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a B-cell malignancy, with increasing incidence. It is currently not considered curable. Although a proportion of patients obtain prolonged remission after first line chemoimmunotherapy, most patients will experience several lines of therapy. Hitherto, population based data of the complete care trajectories for patients with MCL have not been available, limiting our knowledge to that from single centre experiences. Here, we present the initial data from a nationwide attempt to collect all available data from all patients diagnosed with MCL. Methods Patients with a primary diagnosis of MCL in 2006-2018 were identified in the Swedish Lymphoma Register and followed until March 6, 2020. The register contains information about clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, primary treatment, treatment response and relapse. Information on further lines of therapy, including treatment response and progression/relapse was extracted through medical chart review in all patients. Results In total, 1411 patients were diagnosed with MCL during the period 2006-2018. Currently, complete data are available for 445 (32%). The most frequently used first line regimens were R-bendamustine (n=131, 29%) and Nordic MCL2 (n=102, 21%). 31 patients (7%) were managed with an initial watch and wait strategy. 87 patients (19%) received consolidation with an autologous stem cell transplant, and 51 (11%) patients received rituximab maintenance. After a median follow-up of 49 months (IQR 25-81), 279 patients (63%) did not experience any relapse, and the median age for patients without relapse was higher compared to the relapse group (73 vs 70 years). 166 patients (37%) experienced a first relapse or progression. The most frequently used second line regimen was R-bendamustine (n=49, 30%). 102 (21%) and 51 (11%) experienced a second or third relapse/progression, respectively. The median PFS after 1st (PFS-1), 2nd, (PFS-2), 3rd (PFS-3) and 4th (PFS-4) lines of therapy were 40, 11, 6, and 4 months. Patients with early progression, defined as a PFS-1 <24 months (POD24-1) had an inferior outcome (median OS of 23 vs. 101 months) compared to patients with a later relapse. Similarly, patients with a POD24-2 had an inferior outcome compared to patients with PFS-2 ³24 months (median OS 8.4 vs 61 months). Conclusion In this population-based series, mainly treated with conventional chemoimmunotherapy, 63% of patients diagnosed with MCL did not experience relapse/progression after a median follow-up of 40 months - due to death before relapse or continuous remission. In addition, PFS and OS continue to drop with successive lines of therapies. Early progression, both after 1st and after 2nd line therapy is associated with markedly impaired OS -identifying patient populations in need of novel treatment strategies. Figure 1 A.

Abstract In advanced stage indolent lymphoma, therapeutic approaches may vary from watch and wait, antibody monotherapy, conventional chemotherapy or dose-intensified consolidation up to allogeneic strategies. In this nation-wide survey, representative hematological/oncological centers monitored current treatment strategies under routine conditions. 495 centers involved in the treatment of indolent lymphoma including university hospitals (UH), community hospitals (CH), and office-based hematologists (OBH) were contacted. 13% of identified centers provided information on 741 patients corresponding to 10% of the expected national prevalence. Detailed data on 576 unselected patients (median age 67 years, range 17 to 95) with treatment decision in the second and third quarter of 2006 (start, change or end of therapy) of 46 representative centers (2 UH, 25 CH, and 19 OBH) were included in this analysis. Data were verified by monitoring anonymized patients source data. Median age was 67 with hypertension (28%), coronary heart disease (14%), diabetes (11%), heart failure (8%), cardiac arrhythmia (7%) and renal impairment (7%) being the most frequent concomitant diseases at time of diagnosis. Histology included 39% follicular lymphoma, 26% chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), 10% marginal zone, 9% mantle cell lymphoma, and 16% other histologies. Aim of initial therapy was curative in 35%, aiming at improved survival in 62% and palliation in 54% of patients. Radiation (10%), antibody monotherapy (4%), chemotherapy (33%) and combined immuno-chemotherapy (31%) were the most frequent approaches. Applied chemotherapies included CHOP (46%), fludarabine combinations (F/FC/FCM: 15%), chlorambucil (14%), CVP/COP (9%), Bendamustin (4%), with maintenance (12%) and autologous/allogeneic stem cell consolidation both in 3% of patients. In first relapse, complex regimen including immuno-chemotherapy (49%), maintenance therapy (16%), and autologous/allogeneic transplantation (14%/4%) were more frequently planned. As expected, significant differences were observed between follicular, mantle cell lymphoma and CLL. Interestingly, supportive measures including antibiotics (34%), erythrocyte transfusions (32%), G-CSF (22%), immunoglobulins (19%), antifungal drugs (13%), and erythropoietin (10%) were frequently applied already in first line therapy. Overall response was 83% (FL: 97%, MCL: 95%, CLL: 74%) with a 39% CR rate. Only 10% of first line patients were treated within studies (UH: 19%, CH: 5%, OBH: 13%). In this population-based survey, patient characteristics differed significantly from published study cohorts as did clinical strategies and therapeutic approaches. Thus, clinical studies more relevant to the treatment of medically compromised patients are urgently warranted.

Abstract We updated a cohort study with the aim of evaluating if an up-front Rituximab supplemented high-dose sequential chemotherapy (R-HDS), supported by autologous bone marrow transplantation (ASCT) can induce log-term remissions in Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), with an acceptable toxic profile. From 1997 to 2005, 77 consecutive MCL patients, <61 year old, considered suitable for ASCT in 11 Italian cancer centres were enrolled in this study (Group 1). Their clinical outcome was compared with that of 79 age-matched historic controls treated between 1978 and 1999 with standard-dose anthracyclin or fludarabine containing regimens (group 2). The majority of both groups had an advanced stage, bone marrow infiltration and >1 IPI risk factors, while >1 extranodal sites prevailed in Group 1 and a poor ECOG-PS in Group 2. After 2–3 cycles of either doxorubicin- or cisplatin-containing chemotherapy, Group 1 received R-HDS including: HD-cyclophosphamide (CTX) 7 gr/sqm and HD-Ara-C (2 g/sqm every 12 hours for 6 days), followed by HDS HD-melphalan (180 mg/sqm) and/or HD-mitoxantrone plus melphalan (60 and 180 mg/sqm) and ASCT. Rituximab (375 mg /sqm) was given for a total of 6 doses, twice after HD-CTX and HD-Ara-C, as in vivo purging before CD34+ cells harvest and twice after ASCT. Sixty-nine patients (90%) in Group 1 completed the planned program and a median number of 6.3 x 10^6 cells CD34+/kg were transplanted. In Group 2, 85% of patients received the planned chemotherapy. The CR rate was 86% in Group 1 and 35% in Group 2 and the treatment-related mortality was 1.3% and 0.8%, respectively. Moreover, in Group 1, 4 patient developed sMDS, and 4 died of solid tumors (n=3), or septic shock (n=1). After a median follow-up of 50 months (range 3–111) in Group 1 and 37 months (range 1–141) in Group 2, the rate of 1st CCR was 65% and 14%, respectively. The 5-year projected OS, EFS and DFS were 74%, 61% and 70%, in Group 1 and 31%, 14% and 25%, in Group 2, respectively. Cox multivariate analysis failed to identify within potential prognostic markers factors predictive for OS and EFS. In conclusion, R-HDS induces long-term remissions with a manageable toxicity in patients with newly diagnosed MCL. Studies comparing this program with other intensive regimens are needed for ascertaining the role of R-HDS in the treatment of this otherwise incurable disease.
