    Abstract: Single-cell analysis is of significant importance in delineate the exact phylogeny of subclonal population and in discovering subtle diversification. So far studies of intratumor heterogeneity and clonal evolution in multiple myeloma (MM) were largely focused at the bulk tumor population level. Here, we performed quantitative multi-gene fluorescence in situ hybridization (QM-FISH) in 129 longitudinal samples of 57 MM patients. All the patients had newly-diagnosed and relapsed paired samples. An expanded cohort of 188 MM patients underwent conventional FISH (cFISH) to validate the cytogenetic evolution in bulk tumor level. 43 of 57 patients (75.4%) harbored three or four cytogenetic clones at diagnosis. We delineated the phylogeny of subclonal tumor population and derived the evolutionary architecture in each patient.13q deletion and the first 1q gain tended to be earlier cytogenetic alternation, whereas 16q and 17p deletion were acquired later. Patients with clonal stabilization had a significantly improved OS than those with other evolutionary patterns (median OS, 71.2 vs. 39.7 vs. 35.2 vs. 25.5 months, for stable, differential, branching and linear patterns, respectively, p=0.001). Besides, a high degree of consistency and complementarity across QM-FISH and cFISH was observed in evaluation of cytogenetic evolution pattern in MM. In total, at least two time-point cytogenetic evaluations by cFISH were underwent in 188 MM patients. The proportion of patients with high-risk cytogenetic features was 33% at diagnosis and 49% at relapse. The prognostic value of the presence of high-risk aberrations at diagnosis were attenuated over time (HR=1.79, p=0.002 for survival from diagnosis; HR=1.55, p=0.026 for survival from relapse, ). Survival from relapse were greater influenced by the presence of high-risk aberrations at relapse (HR=2.07, figure 5E) rather than present at diagnosis (HR=1.55). The present study investigated the prognostic value of evolution in copy number or clone size of 1q21 gain/amplification during follow-up. The incidence of patients carrying at least three copies of 1q21 was higher after relapse than at diagnosis (69% vs. 55%, p=0.004).Patients were categorized as six groups according to the change patterns in copy number and clone size of 1q21 gain between the two time-point samplings. Patients without 1q21 gain/amplification at both time points (group B) and patients who had obvious decrease in clone size or loss of 1q21 gain at relapse (group A) experienced similar superior outcome (Failure free survival after relapse (2 nd FFS), 18.1 vs. 27.8 months, p=0.469), whereas patients carrying 1q21 gain/amplification at both time points with or without increase (group C,D) in clone size relatively worse survival (2 nd FFS 12.4 and 10.5 months, respectively, p & lt;0.05 compare to group A and B). The remaining patients who had an increase in copy number of 1q21 and those who developed de novo 1q21 gain at relapse were observed poorest outcome (group E and F,2 nd FFS 6.7 and 8.9 months). The interval time between two time-point samplings were similar among groups, whereas the different evolution pattern of 1q21 gain could clearly stratify both overall survival and post-relapse survival (p & lt;0.001). This study shows that QM-FISH is a valuable tool to elucidate the clonal architecture at single cell level. Clonal evolution pattern is of prognostic significance, highlighting the need for repeated cytogenetic evaluation in relapsed MM. Figure 1 Figure 1.

    Abstract: Introductions Although intratumor heterogeneity and clonal evolution have been inferred in multiple myeloma (MM), this was largely focused at the bulk tumor population level. Single-cell analysis is of significant importance in delineating the exact phylogeny of subclonal population and in discovering subtle diversification. Here, we identified the clonal architecture of different time points using multi-gene fluorescence in situ hybridization (mFISH) at single cell level, and explored the prognostic values of different clonal evolution patterns in MM. Methods We performed mFISH in 129 longitudinal samples of 57 MM patients. All the patients had newly-diagnosed and relapsed paired samples, and 12 patients had cytogenetic evaluation for more than two time points. An expanded cohort of 188 MM patients underwent conventional FISH (cFISH) to validate the cytogenetic evolution in bulk tumor level. Results 43 of 57 patients (75.4%) harbored three or four cytogenetic clones at diagnosis. We delineated the phylogeny of subclonal tumor population in each patient and established robust trends for the timing of temporal acquisition in the whole cohort using the pairwise precedence. 13q deletion and the first 1q gain tended to be earlier cytogenetic alternation, whereas 16q and 17p deletion were acquired later. The sequence of 13q deletion and 1q21 gain occurrence was identified in 23 patients by the single-cell analysis. 1q21 gain and 13q deletion each occurred first in 12 and 11 patients respectively. Strikingly, patients in whom 13q deletion was acquired first showed a significantly worse survival than 1q21 gain-first patients (median OS 32.9 vs. 71.2 months, p=0.010). We inferred the most likely ancestral relationships between subclones and derived the evolutionary architecture in each patient. Four distinct evolutionary patterns were identified (Figure 1). 18 of 57 (31.6%) patients showed clonal stabilization. These patients were characterized by no novel subclones emerging and no existed subclones disappearing at relapse. Differential evolution was observed in 12 patients, where clonal dynamics resulted from a change in predominant clone from presentation to relapse. The major clone at diagnosis disappeared or decreased to a minor clone while a subclone showed growth advantage and turned to be a major clone at relapse. We found evidence of branching evolution in 9 patients. Here, one or more clones harboring novel cytogenetic abnormalities emerged between the early and late time points, whereas some disappeared. The remainder of patients demonstrated a linear evolution pattern (18/57, 31.6%). The predominant clones acquired one or more novel cytogenetic abnormalities at the later time point. Patients with clonal stabilization had a significantly improved OS than those with other evolutionary patterns (median OS, 71.2 vs. 39.7 vs. 35.2 vs. 25.5 months, for stable, differential, branching and linear patterns, respectively, p=0.001). However, there is no difference in sampling interval among four evolutionary patterns (p=0.131). Therefore, the survival differences were mostly attributable to a significantly shorter failure free survival from relapse (p & lt;0.001). In order to evaluate the accuracy of abnormalities detection by mFISH, we performed cFISH in these 57 MM patients. Cell fractions of cytogenetic abnormalities detected by mFISH were significantly correlated with that detected by cFISH (p & lt;0.001). Besides, a high degree of consistency and complementarity across cFISH and mFISH was observed in evaluation of cytogenetic evolution pattern in MM. Then we expanded our cohort to 188 patients to further discuss the prognostic value of cytogenetic evolution. Survival from relapse were greater influenced by the presence of high-risk aberrations at relapse (HR=2.07) rather than present at diagnosis (HR=1.55). There was no difference in OS for patients who had primary high-risk aberrations at diagnosis compared with those who developed high-risk aberrations after relapse (p=0.800). Conclusions These findings suggest that mFISH is a valuable tool for the analysis of clonal phylogeny and evolution pattern of critical cytogenetic aberrations. Patients may benefit from the repeated cytogenetic evaluation, especially for the risk stratification of survival after relapse. Personalized treatment strategy is required for MM patients based on their clonal evolution patterns. Figure 1 Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

    Abstract: Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of high-dose infusional gemcitabine combined with busulfan and cyclophosphamide (GBC) or melphalan (GBM) followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) in lymphoid malignancies. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 73 and 21 patients of lymphoma, who received GBC and GBM conditioning regimen with ASCT respectively in our center from May 2017 to April 2020. Gemcitabine (600mg·m-2·h-1×3h) was given on day -7 and -3, busulfan (105mg/ m2) from day -7 to -5, followed by cyclophosphamide (50mg/kg) or melphelan (60mg/m2) from day -3 to -2. Autologous stem cells were reinfused on day 0. The side effects, hematopoiesis recovery time, 3-year progression free survival (PFS) and 3-year overall survival (OS) were observed. Results: Ninety-four patients were enrolled in this study. Among them, 63 cases (67%) were in the first line treatment, including 55 cases in CR1 and 8 cases in PR1, while 31 cases (33%) were in or after second line treatment, including 23 cases in CR, 7 cases in PR and 1 case in SD. There were 32 cases of large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), 14 cass of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and 8 cases of peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) in the first line treatment group, while 12 cases of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and 10 cases of LBCL in the non-first line treatment group. A median number of 3.09 (range 0.71-21.33) ×106/kg CD34 cells were infused. The grade 3 or 4 toxicities were neutropenia (100%), thrombocytopenia (100%), anemia (81%), oral mucositis (45%), hepatopathy (23%), nausea (14%), diarrhea (20%), vomiting (5%), hemorrhage (4%) and fever (1%). Bacterial infection was found in 9 cases (10%), and fungal infection in 2 cases (4%). The median time to neutrophil engraftment was 10 days (range, 8-28) and platelet engraftment was 11 days (range, 0-63). VOD and treatment-related death did not occur during the study. After a median follow-up of 21 months, the estimated 3-year PFS and OS rate of all patients was 84% and 92% respectively. The estimated 3-year PFS rates of patients in the first-line treatment group and the non-first line treatment group were 90% and 67%, respectively (P=.0134), while the estimated 3-year OS rates were 93% and 87%, respectively (P=.8235). The estimated 28-month PFS rates of first line treatment patients in the CR group and PR group were 90% and 88%, respectively (P=.7760), while the estimated 28-month OS rates were 94% and 88%, respectively (P=.4361). The estimated 3-year PFS rates of non-first line treatment patients in the CR group and PR group were 71% and 67%, respectively (P=.8748), while the estimated 3-year OS rates were 92% and 67%, respectively (P=.2014). Conclusion: In this retrospective analysis, our results demonstrate that GBC/GBM conditioning regimens with ASCT are feasible with tolerable toxicity and improved outcomes in PR patients whether in first line or non-first line treatment, which appears be an alternative to the classical conditioning regimens for ASCT in lymphoid malignancies.

    Abstract: Background: Age is a pivotal prognostic factor for multiple myeloma (MM). The risk of evolving from MGUS and SMM to symptomatic MM steadily increases with age. And there are nuances in clinical manifestations and cytogenetic characteristics between young and old patients. The aim of this study is to delineate the clinical and laboratory features and determine the relative contribution of ISS, performance status and cytogenetic abnormalities in each age MM patients. Methods: In this study, 778 MM patients were enrolled in the prospective, non-randomized BDH2008/02 clinical trial between January, 2008 and December, 2016. Briefly, the patients accepted bortezomib or thalidomide-based induction therapy. Transplantation eligible patients accepted ASCT, otherwise they accepted the original regimen consolidation therapy. Subsequently, unless intolerance, patients received either thalidomide-based or lenalidomide-based maintenance therapy for two years. Conventional FISH panel included del(13q), del(17p), gain(1q), t(11;14), t(4;14), t(14;16), and t(14;20). The positive cut-off value for chromosome deletion or gain was 20%, and for chromosome translocation was 10%. A multivariate Cox proportional-hazards model was developed to assess the variables with significant effects on PFS and OS. Explained variation of variables was quantified by RD2. Statistical analysis was conducted by Stata/MP 16.0 (Stata Corp., TX, USA) and SPSS 26.0 (IBM Corp., Chicago, Illinois, USA). Results: Among 778 patients with complete data, 59.5% (463/778) were younger than 60 years old, 31.4% (244/778) were 61-70 years old, and only 9.1% (71/778) were over 71 years old. The median PFS of patients≤60, 61-70 and ≥71 years of age was 36.3, 32.6 and 23.1 months, respectively (P & lt;0.001). The median OS in each age group was 86.2, 60.7 and 34.9 months, respectively (P & lt;0.001) (Figure A-D). The median evaluated glomerular filtration rate of the three groups was 89.1, 74.0 and 66.4 ml/min (P & lt;0.001), respectively. The serum β2-microglobulin level gradually increased with age (P & lt;0.001), along with the proportion of patients with ISS 3 stage. Patients ≥71 years old had a higher proportion of ECOG performance status score 3-4, twice than that of patients ≤60 years old. The incidence of high-risk IgH translocation decreased with age, and was 25.4%, 21.3% and 14.3% across age groups. The incidence of gain(1q) increased with age, and was 43.9%, 47.1% and 54.8%, respectively. The incidence of del(17p) and del(13q) seldom changed with age (Figure E). With age, the risk of high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities did not change significantly, accounting for about 50% in each age group. The risk of ISS gradually decreased, accounting for 36%, 27%, and 14% in ≤60, 61-70 and ≥71 year subgroups, respectively. The risk of the ECOG performance status gradually increased with age, accounting for 10%, 17%, and 36% in the three subgroups (Figure F). The overall response rate of induction treatment gradually decreased with age, and were 90.2%, 81.9%, and 69.2%, respectively (P & lt;0.001). Elderly patients with impaired renal function or more than one high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities might benefit more from bortezomib based treatment than younger patients (Figure G). Conclusion: Age is an important prognostic factor in MM. With age, the risk of MM progression or death steadily grows. Cytogenetic abnormalities are equally important in every age group. The risk of poor performance status increases in elderly patients with a reduction risk in ISS. Elderly patients should focus on the status of frailty and molecular events to determine treatment.

    Abstract: Background Chemotherapy resistance remains a significant hurdle in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). However, it is difficult to discriminate the potential refractory patients from the very early stage. Flow cytometry is a convenient tool to detect the residual myeloma cell tiding, indicating therapeutic response sensitively. Methods From June, 2014 to December, 2016, 172 sequential patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma were enrolled in the BDH2008/02 clinical trial. Patient informed consent was obtained in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. 144 patients with at least two flow cytometry detections were analyzed. Bone marrow samples were detected by an eight-color EuroFlow panel. CD20 negative and CD81 positive is defined as normal phenotype. Results We conducted a median of 3-time (2-8) flow cytometry detection on each patient. When newly diagnosed and achieved best response, CD20, CD81 expression rates were 29.9%, 9.7% and 14.9%, 64.4% (P=0.0091, P 〈 0.0001), respectively. According to the status variation of CD20 and CD81, all patients were divided into three groups: both markers were always normal (Group A), either CD20 or CD81 was abnormal at diagnosed and turned normal during therapy (Group B) and markers stayed abnormal (Group C). Patients with undetectable residual tumor cells were also classified as Group A. The overall response rate of the patients in Group C was inferior to Group B ( 〉 PR rate: 54.3% vs. 71.4%, P=0.021). And the OS of Group C was significantly worse than Group A and B (47.9 months vs. not reached vs. not reached, P=0.036). Conclusion CD20/CD81 switching to normal phenotype during therapy indicates therapeutic response and an improved outcome than that staying abnormal. The expression tiding of CD20 and CD81 may be a reasonable combination to dynamically stratify MM patients, directing the choice of maintenance therapy.

    Abstract: Background and Objective: Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized with significant cytogenetic changes and complex tumor microenvironment, thus patient survival is extremely heterogeneous. Various disease-related or patient-related factors affect the prognosis of patients. This study tried to analyze the prognostic indicators of patients with newly-treated MM, especially explored the prognosis of multiple cytogenetic abnormalities and the ratio of lymphocytes to monocytes (LMR). Additionally, we established a comprehensive prognostic model to help determine the patient prognosis. Methods: After screening, 603 patients of untreated MM from January 2008 to June 2017, with complete baseline indicators were enrolled into the study. By univariate and multivariate Cox analysis, risk factors related to the prognosis of patients were evaluated, and a weighted prognosis model was established to compare the survival differences of patients in each risk stratification. Result: Optimal thresholds of ALC, LWR, NLR and LMR were determined by ROC curve and Youdex index: ALC = 1.415, LWR = 0.325, NLR = 1.935, LMR = 2.95. Survival analysis showed that patients with LMR ≤ 2.95, ALC ≥ 1.415 and LWR ≥ 0.325 had significantly better survival compared with their respective control groups. Cox multivariate analysis showed that among the four indicators, only LMR≤2.95 was an independent adverse prognostic factor for overall survival (OS)(Figure 1A). 17p deletion, 1q21 amplification, t (4; 14) / t (14; 16) were define as high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities (HRA). Of the 603 patients, about 60% were associated with at least one high-risk cytogenetic event. Among them, the occurrence of cumulative 0, 1, 2, and 3 HRA were 39.6% (239/603), 42.5% (256/603), 16.6% (100/603), and 1.3% (8/603), respectively. There was no significant difference in survival among patients with same number of HRAs. The median OS of patients with 0, 1 and ≥ 2 HRA were not reached, 62.1 months (95% CI, 49.3-74.9) and 30.4 months (95% CI, 24.5-36.3), respectively (p & lt;0.001)(Figure 1B).Final Cox regression model showed that age 65 ~ 74 (HR=1.77, 95%CI, 1.24-2.51, p=0.001), age ≥75 (HR=2.46, 95%CI, 1.69-3.58, p & lt; 0.001), LDH≥247 U/L (HR =1.65, 95%CI, 1.07-2.51, p=0.023), ISS stage III (HR=1.76, 95%CI, 1.24-2.50, p=0.002), LMR≤2.95 (HR=1.53, 95%CI, 1.08-2.18, p=0.017), 1 HRA (HR=1.87, 95%CI, 1.27-2.75, p=0.002) and ≥2 HRA (HR=3.48, 95%CI, 2.22-5.45, p & lt;0.001) are independent adverse prognostic factors for OS. Then weighted risk factors were summed to establish a comprehensive prognosis model, with a total score range of 0-6 points. Accordingly, the whole cohort was divided into low risk (0-1 points, 45.4%), intermediate risk (2 points, 27.9%), high risk (3 points, 19.2%) and ultra-high risk (4-6 points, 7.5 %) groups. The median OS of the four risk groups were 85.8 months (67.1-104.5), 49.0 months (44.7-53.3), 35.4 months (31.3-39.5), and 23.2 months (18.8-27.6), respectively (p & lt;0.001). The C-statistics of this prognostic model is 0.68 (95% CI, 0.64-0.71), which is significantly better than the D-S stage (C-statistics = 0.52, 95% CI, 0.50-0.55, p & lt;0.001), ISS (C-statistics = 0.60, 95% CI, 0.57-0.64, p & lt;0.001) and R-ISS stage (C-statistics = 0.60, 95% CI, 0.57-0.63, p & lt;0.001). Bootstrap resampling and calibration curve showed that the model has an accurate predictive effect on both short-term and long-term prognosis of patients(Figure 1C). Conclusion: In our analysis, ALC, LWR, LMR were associated with poor prognosis in NDMM patients, while NLR had no significant prognostic significance. Among the four indicators, LMR≤2.95 was the only independent prognostic factor. In NDMM patients, survival of patients with the same number of high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities were comparable with each other, regardless of whichever combination of HRA. Higher number of high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities were associated with worse prognosis. Cox multivariate analysis showed that, old age (65-74 years old, ≥75 years old), increased LDH (≥247 U/L), decreased LMR (≤2.95), ISS III, 1 HRA and ≥ 2 HRA were independent adverse prognostic factors that affect the OS of MM patients. 4. A comprehensive weighted prognostic model was established with the above factors, which was proved to effectively distinguish different prognosis of patients.

    Abstract: Real-world retrospective study of 46 patients with Macrofocal multiple myeloma (MFMM) Introduction: Multiple myeloma is a clonal plasma cell malignant neoplasm characterized by bone disease and marrow involvement. However, we found that some myeloma patients presented multiple lytic lesions, but didn't meet the diagnostic criteria of at least 10% clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow. And these patients were always diagnosed with myeloma by biopsy-proven plasmacytomas. This special myeloma entity has been called macrofocal multiple myeloma (MFMM) [1-2]. Considering that the data of this rare myeloma entity are limited, it is of great significance to investigate the clinical characteristics, genetic abnormality, treatment response and prognosis of MFMM patients. Methods: Based on the definition (BMPCs & lt;20% and multiple lytic lesions/plasmacytomas, without anemia, renal insufficiency or hypercalcemia) [3],we identified 46 MFMM patients among 791 myeloma patients(5.8%) diagnosed at out hospital between January 2013 and December 2019. In the same period with same therapies, other 92 typical myeloma patients were selected as the control group. Results: Patient characteristics and comparisons between MFMM patients and the control group are depicted in Table 1. Of the 46 MFMM patients, 82.6% were & lt;65 years and 73.9% had at least 4 lytic lesions. And the incidence of plasmacytomas in MFMM patients was significantly higher than the control group (43.5% vs 18.5%, p & lt;0.05). According to the international staging (ISS) and the Revised ISS, advanced stage patients in the MFMM group was less common than controls (p & lt;0.05). Regarding to the cytogenetics, the high-risk features was infrequent in patients with MFMM compared to typical myeloma patients (15.8% vs 32.2%, p=0.058). And t (11;14) could be observed in 32.4% MFMM patients and 9.4% myeloma patients (p & lt;0.05). The treatment patterns of the two groups were similar; about 30% of the patients received ASCT, and 80% patients received proteasome-inhibitors based regimen as the induction therapy. Concerning about the best response to treatment, the CR rate of the MFMM group was significantly higher than the controls (78.2% vs 60.8%, p & lt;0.05). As of June 2021, the median follow-up time was 37.9 months. The median progression-free survival in the study and control groups were 77.5 vs 39.8 months, respectively (p & lt;0.05). The overall survival (OS) of MFMM patients was significantly longer than typical myeloma patients during the same period with similar therapies (not reached vs 68.2m, p & lt;0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, Macrofocal multiple myeloma is a special entity of MM, which is characterized with multiple lytic lesions, more extramedullary diseases, less bone marrow infiltration, and fewer adverse features. And the MFMM patient could achieve deep remission and prolonged OS in the era of novel agents. References: [1] Dimopoulos MA, Pouli A, Anagnostopoulos A, et al.
