NK/T-cell lymphomas are a group of clonal proliferations of NK- or, rarely, T-cell types and have peculiar clinicopathologic features. Most common site of involvement is the upper aerodigestive tract (nasal cavity, nasopharynx, paranasal sinuses, and palate). Association of autoimmune paraneoplastic disorders with NK/T-cell lymphomas is not well studied. Our patient was diagnosed with NK/T-cell lymphoma stage IV with skin involvement and treated frontline with CHOEP regimen. While he was under treatment, two immune complications presented: anterior uveitis of autoimmune origin refractory to steroids and myositis in lower limbs muscles. Autologous transplantation was rejected due to confirmed early relapse after first-line treatment, and the patient received second-line treatment according to the SMILE scheme, reaching complete response after four cycles. The patient underwent allogeneic transplantation and at the time of manuscript preparation is alive despite multiple complications. The disease should be suspected in patients with rhinitis or recurrent sinusitis, and early biopsy is recommended for all patients to avoid a delay in diagnosis. Our patient also presented symptoms of disease progression after first-line treatment, representing a paraneoplastic process, a very rare phenomenon in T-type lymphomas. This case is novel for the appearance of an inflammatory myositis, a histologically verified paraneoplastic phenomenon that responded to treatment for lymphoma.

Abstract Aggressive cutaneous NK/T-cell lymphomas are extremely rare with an estimated yearly incidence of less than 1 per 2,000,000 and a disease-specific 5 year survival of 0–16%. This dismal prognosis seems independent of the presence of extracutaneous localizations at diagnosis. Only a minority of patients respond to CHOP-like multiagent chemotherapy. Sustained complete remissions (CR) have been observed after stem cell transplantation of some heavily pre-treated patients. We hypothesized that stem cell transplantation may be the only treatment modality that may induce long term remissions in this very resistant disease. In order to get as many possible patients eligible for a stem cell transplantation we designed an intensive protocol in which patients with newly diagnosed aggressive cutaneous NK/T-cell lymphoma were treated with AML-like induction and consolidation courses followed by an allogeneic or an autologous stem cell transplantation. All patients with newly diagnosed aggressive cutaneous NK/T-cell lymphoma who were referred to our centre between 06-2003 and 06-2006 were screened for this study. Patients who were able to undergo this intensive therapy, were enrolled after informed consent. Induction treatment consisted of etoposide 120 mg/m2 and amsacrine 115 mg/m2 on days 1 and 7, methylprednisolone 60 mg/m2 on days 1–7, intrathecal methotrexate on day 1 and cytarabine on days 1–6: either 1000 mg/m2 twice daily (age <61) or 100 mg/m2 daily (age > 60). In case of partial remission (PR), induction treatment was repeated. In case of CR, consolidation treatment was given consisting of amsacrine and etoposide in similar doses as during induction, and cytarabin 3000 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1–4 or 300 mg/m2 twice daily on days 1–4 in older patients. In case of persisting CR after consolidation therapy, patients were eligible for allogeneic stem cell transplantation with total body irradiation (TBI) and high dose cyclophosphamide as conditioning regimen. In the absence of a HLA matched donor, autologous transplantation was planned. Six patients (3 males, 3 females) were treated for cutaneous peripheral T cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (n=3), cutaneous blastic NK cell lymphoma (n=2) or cutaneous NK-T cell lymphoma, nasal type (n=1). Mean age was 52 years (range 33–65). In two patients no extracutaneous localizations were found. After induction treatment two patients had progressive disease, and one patient showing PR died suddenly during leukopenic period after the second induction cycle. Three patients achieved the CR. One of them died due to an intracerebral hemorrhage just before transplantation. Two patients underwent stem cell transplantation (one autologous and one allogeneic) but both relapsed, 204 and 218 days after transplantation, respectively and died within weeks. Median overall survival was 214 days (range 30–382).First line treatment of aggressive cutaneous NK/T cell lymphoma using an intensive AML-like chemotherapy approach resulted in CR in 3 out of 6 patients. Only two of them reached a stem cell transplantation, but both patients died of relapsing disease. Based on these outcomes, first line treatment of aggressive cutaneous NK/T-cell lymphoma consisting of AML-like induction and consolidation therapy did not result in durable remissions, necessary to perform stem cell transplantation.

Abstract Abstract 1611 Introduction: For many T-cell lymphoma (TCL) patients (pts), current treatment strategies are largely ineffective. In particular, pts failing first line therapy are expected to have a dismal outcome but little is known about them. The purpose of this population-based study was to establish the outcome of TCL pts following relapse/progression. Material and methods: All TCL pts diagnosed in the province of Modena, Italy between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 2010 were identified from the archives of the Modena Cancer Registry that covers a population of approximately 600.000 people. Additional data on disease characteristics, treatment modalities, together with response assessments and outcome were actively retrieved and collected. Results: A total of 146 TCL pts were initially identified, and 18 excluded because of missing data; therefore 128 were available for the present analysis. The most common subtypes were Peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified in 46 pts (36%), Anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma in 46 patients (36%) Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma in 15 (12%), and other subtypes in 21 (16%). The male to female ratio (M/F) for the entire population was 1.7 and the median age was 64 years (16–90). A total of 100 (78%) pts received initial treatment within 3 months of their diagnosis: 74 received combination chemotherapy (CT), 9 received radiation therapy (RT) only, 10 underwent surgery and 7 were addressed to high dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) as part of initial therapy. Among the remaining 28 patients, 24 (19%) died within 3 months of their diagnosis and 4 (3%) received only palliative therapy because of their comorbidities. The majority of pts received anthracyclines (ADM) containing regimens as part of their initial therapy (71/74, 96%). At the end of first line treatment, 59 (59%) pts achieved complete remission (CR), 13 pts partial remission (PR), 8 pts stable disease (SD) and 20 cases had disease progression (PD). Overall, 59 pts presented relapse/progression; 23 (39%) of them died before receiving any salvage treatment, 14 pts received DHAP (7 of whom were subsequently addressed to ASCT), 8 received gemcitabine-containing regimens, 6 received ADM containing regimes and 8 other CT regimens; 2 patients were treated with RT. At a median follow-up for living patients after relapse/progression of 28 months (range 9–111 months), 49 patients died, and the cause of death was found to be lymphoma progression in all of them. The median overall survival (OS) following relapse/progression was 1.9 months. Among the 36 pts that received salvage treatment median OS was not reached for those who received ASCT and was 4.5 months for those who received conventional dose salvage treatment (p=0.003). A Cox regression analysis was performed in order to identify prognostic factors among these 59 pts: age at relapse (≥60 years, HR=2.35, CI95% 1.04–5.28, P=0.038) and advanced stage (HR=3.24, 1.31–7.98) were associated with a higher risk of death and salvage treatment ASCT was associated with a better survival (HR=0.04, IC95% 0.006–0.36). No other clinical characteristic (gender, histology, LDH and performance status) at diagnosis was associated with higher risk of death among relapsing/progressing patients. Conclusion: In the general population, outside clinical trials, the outcome of TCL pts is dramatically poor. First, about 20% of the whole cohort is not able to receive any kind of therapy mainly due to early death; second, the rate of pts failing first line therapy that could not receive any salvage therapy rose to 39%. As a result, progression during initial therapy or relapse after first line treatment entails a very dismal prognosis with less than 2 months of median survival. Only a few patients that could receive ASCT after relapse had promising chances of long lasting remission. Based on the results of this population based study, it is evident that there is urgent need for novel agents to be offered to TCL pts requiring second line treatment. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

TPS6591 Background: Pembrolizumab as part of first-line treatment for patients (pts) with R/M HNSCC has improved survival. However, in order to further improve outcomes in this population investigation of rational combinations targeting different mechanisms that cancers exploit to evade the immune system is required. ICOS, a member of the CD28/B7 immunoglobulin receptor superfamily, provides a co-stimulatory signal augmenting T-cell proliferation, cytokine production, cytotoxic function and survival. GSK609 is a humanized IgG4 antibody selected for its potent agonist activity and non-depleting properties. The rationale for targeting ICOS with GSK609 plus PD-1 blockade with PE is supported by preclinical and clinical evidence (Rischin, et al. Annals of Oncol 2019;30[Supplement_5]:v454–5). INDUCE-3 trial (NCT04128696) will explore if the addition of GSK609 to PE improves outcomes of pts with R/M HNSCC. Methods: INDUCE-3 uses a 2-in-1 adaptive design that has the option to seamlessly expand from an initial Phase 2 to a Phase 3 study. Pts (n = 600) will be stratified by PD-L1 status and HPV status (oropharynx only) then randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive GSK609 plus PE or PL plus PE, every 3 weeks until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or up to 35 cycles. GSK609 plus PE will be assessed for superiority versus PL plus PE in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) per RECISTv1.1 as dual primary endpoints; secondary endpoints include PFS per immune-based RECIST; milestone OS; safety and tolerability; time to deterioration in patient-reported physical function and pain. Efficacy and patient-reported outcome endpoints will be assessed in the PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥1 and ≥20 populations. Key eligibility criteria are aged ≥18 years; locally incurable R/M HNSCC of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx; no prior systemic therapy in the R/M setting; PD-L1 CPS ≥1 by central testing; measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 and ECOG PS 0/1. Recruitment is ongoing in countries across the globe. Funding: Study is funded by GlaxoSmithKline and in collaboration with Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ, USA. Clinical trial information: NCT04128696 .

Abstract Introduction: T-cell lymphomas (T-NHL) represent rarer entities compared to B-NHL, accounting for 5% -10% of NHL in Western countries and 15%-20% in Asia. They are divided into clinico-pathologic subtypes based on etiology, morphology, and clinical behavior. Because of the rarity and the lack of specific histologic features for the different subtypes, the diagnosis is difficult and clinical picture is usually very helpful to establish the diagnosis. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients (pts) with T-NHL treated at our Centre, with the purpose of studying overall outcome and possible prognostic factors, including histologic subtypes, from our database. Patients and methods: Consecutive T-NHL pts (excluding Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, NK/T NHL, and primary cutaneous T-NHL), receiving primary treatment at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (PMCC) between 2001-2014 were included. Data were extracted from a prospective patient database and the medical record regarding baseline characteristics, treatment, response and outcome. Response assessment was with CT imaging as per 1999 Working Group criteria. Results: Of a total of 2155 pts with aggressive histology NHL treated at PMCC between 2001-2014, 2031 pts had B-NHL and 124 (5.7%) T-NHL. Median age was 56 years (18-90), male/female ratio: 2.4; 63% presented with advanced stage (III-IV) disease, 22% had bone marrow involvement; 63% had elevated LDH and 44% had B symptoms. Observed subtypes were: Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, NOS 58 pts (PTCL NOS, 47%), Anaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK-negative 16 pts (ALCL-ALK-, 13%), ALCL, ALK-positive 22 pts (ALCL-ALK+, 18%), Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma 13 pts (AITL, 10.5%), Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma 7 pts (EATL, 5.6%), Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma 8 pts (HSTCL, 6%). 105/124 pts (85%) received induction chemotherapy; CHOP-like regimens were used in 94 pts (90%), and involved field radiation therapy (RT) was included in primary treatment in 24 pts (19%). Nineteen pts were treated palliatively, 5 pts with RT alone, 14 pts received palliative chemotherapy or supportive care only. Complete response (CR) was obtained in 63/105 pts (60%; Table 2), PR in 2 pts (1.9%) and 40 pts had no response or progressive disease (SD and PD; 38%). Considering together the most common subtypes (ALCL-ALK+/-, AITL, PTCL NOS), CR rate was 84% in limited stage vs 52% in advanced stage disease. Among patients with CR, 24 relapsed (38%). Fourteen pts received autologous stem cell transplant (8 at relapse, 6 for PD); 7/14 (50%) were alive at last follow-up. At a median follow-up of 5.3 years, 57/124 (46%) pts are alive. Cause of death was T-NHL in 50/124 (40%) pts. Two pts died of second malignancy (1.6%). Median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 4.57 years (95%CI: 2.23-9.53; 5yOS: 48%) and 1.5 years (0.87-3.17; 5yPFS: 37%), respectively (Table 2). For pts with limited stage disease median PFS was 4.57 years (5yPFS: 49%) and median OS 10.0 years (5yOS: 62%), while for pts with stage III/IV, median PFS was 0.82 years (5yPFS: 31%) and OS 1.81 years (5yOS: 38%). Median OS for pts who did not experience relapse (39/63; 62%) was 13.38 years (95%CI: 9.53-NA; 5yOS: 93%) vs 3.12 years (95%CI: 1.69-4.07 years; 5yOS: 25%) in pts who had relapse after CR1 (p<0.001). Pts failing to achieve CR (PR, SD, PD) had a very poor outcome with median OS 1.15 years (95%CI: 0.62-1.32 years; 5yOS: 17%). For PTCL NOS pts, outcomes were poor while those with ALCL had more favorable results regardless of ALK status (Table 2). Conclusions: Failure to achieve CR with first-line treatment was the main cause of treatment failure in patients with T-NHL treated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Patients with limited stage lymphoma and with ALCL ALK+/- subtypes have more favorable outcomes. For PTCL NOS, the most common subtype, and less common entities (HSTCL, EATL), results are poor and new induction strategies are needed.
