    Abstract: There are previous reported data describing differences between European and Asian patients with Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS), and little is known about South-American (SA) patients. Our aim was to describe clinical characteristic of SA MDS population, to compare our series with diverse ethnicity, to evaluate scoring systems and prognostic factors. We retrospectively analysed a series of 1080 patients with de novo MDS (1981-2014) from Argentine (Ar-635), Brazil (Br-345), and Chile (Ch-100). Patients were classified following FAB and WHO criteria, excluding patients with bone marrow (BM) blasts 〉 30% and CMML with white blood cells count 〉 12x109/L. Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (5%) or hypomethylating therapy (12%) were censored at treatment initiation. Chilean patients were younger (mean age: 59 vs 66-Ar, p 〈 .001 and vs 65 years old-Br, p=.003), with a female preponderance (ratio M/F: 0.8-Ch, 1.3-Ar, 1.3-Br, p=.061). Since Ch did not include patients with CMML, distributions among FAB and WHO categories were different (p 〈 .001). Br series showed a higher predominance of RARS (17% vs 9%-Ar vs 1%-Ch), and a lower percentage of RCMD (38% vs 43%-Ar vs 49%-Ch), while the frequency of the other subtypes were comparable. BM blast categories according to IPSS and IPSS-R were similar (p=.626 and =.508). Hemoglobin (Hb) level was significantly higher in Ar series (9.6g/dL vs 8.6g/dL-Ch, p 〈 .001, and vs 8.7g/dL-Br, p=.002), with no differences in ANC and platelets (p=.842 and .763). There were no differences in the distribution of cytogenetic groups of risk (CGR) according to IPSS (p=.157). With respect to IPSS-R CGR distribution, Ar series showed a higher frequency of Very Good and Intermediate findings (4% and 19%, vs 2% and 15%–Br, 0% and 9%-Ch, respectively, p=.037). The distribution among IPSS categories was similar with a higher predominance of the high risk group in Ch (17%, 9%-Ar, 9%-Br, p=.056). IPSS-R distribution confirmed a higher frequency of very high risk in Ch series (20%, 13%-Br, 10%-Ar) and a lower predominance of very low risk (5%, 15%-Br and 22%-Ar) (p 〈 .001). We also evaluated different prognostic factors in each MDS population and in the whole population (table). Overall survival (OS) was lower in Ch patients, consistent with the higher prevalence of higher risk group categories (36 months vs 56m-Ar; 63m-Br, p=.026). Hb, BM blast, CGR, IPSS and IPSS-R were useful to predict survival in the three series and in the overall SA MDS population. Age was not useful for Br patients and showed a borderline influence for the whole SA series. The ANC was neither a predictive variable for Br nor for Ch patients, and platelets count was not useful in Ch series. Epidemiological and clinical characteristics, distribution among prognostic subgroups and OS were similar for Ar and Br compared to Ch MDS series. This will need further analysis in a larger group of patients. Nevertheless, the IPSS-R system and its variables showed a good reproducibility to predict clinical outcome for the whole SA population.

    Abstract: Abstract 1772 Background: Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) is the most curable type of Lymphoma with an overall survival at 5 years of 80%. ABVD can be considered as gold standard for first line treatment for all stages of HL. Dividing patients (pts.) in different prognostic groups has aimed to reduce chemo and radio toxicity in those patients with good prognosis. A negative PET-CT, either early during treatment of ABVD or after completion of it, has shown to be a powerful prognostic tool (Hutchings: Blood 2006; Gallamini: Haematologica 2006). Our cooperative group has an experience with 584 patients with HL in early or advanced stage treated with 3 or 6 cycles of ABVD plus involved field radiotherapy with a complete remission (CR) of 91% and an event free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) at 60 months of 79% and 95%.(S Pavlovsky, Clin Lymp My & Leuk, 2010). Aims: Test the efficacy of treatment to all stages of HL adjusted to PET-CT results after 3 cycles of ABVD. Evaluate the outcome of pts. who have a negative PET-CT after 3 cycles of ABVD and receive no further treatment. Intensify therapy only in pts. who have persistent hyper metabolic lesions in PET-CT after 3 cycles of ABVD. Method: Since October 2005, 198 newly diagnosed pts. with HL have been included in a prospective multicenter trial. Initially all patients received 3 cycles of ABVD. After the third cycle, pts. were evaluated with a PET-CT. Those pts. who achieved CR with a negative PET-CT, received no further treatment. Those with more than 50% of anatomic reduction of initial masses but persistent hyper metabolic lesions by PET-TC after 3 ABVD were considered in partial remission (PR) and completed 6 cycles of ABVD and radiotherapy (RT) on PET-CT positive areas. Those patients with less than PR after 3 cycles of ABVD received ESHAP and if CR, high doses of chemotherapy and an autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). All patients were re-evaluated at the end of treatment. The median follow up is of 30 months (3-62). Results: One hundred and seventy three patients completed three cycles of ABVD followed by a PET-CT. The median age at diagnosis was 29 years. One hundred and thirty-six (79%) had localized stage (I-II) at diagnosis and 37 (21%) presented with advanced stage (III-IV). Of 155 pts. 77 (50%) pts had IPS 0–1, 66 (43%) had IPS 2–3 and 12 (8%) had IPS 4–5. Twenty six (17%) pts. had bulky disease at diagnosis. One hundred and thirty-seven (79%) pts. achieved CR with negative PET-CT after 3 cycles of ABVD. Thirty-six (21%) were PET-CT positive, of them 32 pts achieved PR and completed a total of 6 cycles of ABVD plus RT in hyper metabolic lesions. Twenty five achieved CR (72%), 5 persisted with PR and 2 died of progressive disease. Four pts showed progressive disease (PD) after 3 ABVD and received ESHAP and ASCT, 2 achieved and remained in CR, 1 is in PR and 1 died of progressive disease. Of 173 pts who completed treatment with ABVD × 3 cycles, ABVD × 6 cycles plus RT on PET-TC positive areas or ESHAP plus ASCT, 164 pts (95%) achieved CR. Of these 164 pts., 14 pts (8%) relapsed. The EFS and OS at 36 months is 83% and 97% respectively. Patients with early negative PET-TC have an event-free survival of 87% compared to 62% (P=0,001) for pts with early positive PET CT. The OS at 36 months was 100% versus 86% respectively ( 〈 0.001). Conclusion: Treating patients with ABVD, evaluating response after 3 cycles with PET-CT, and adapting further therapy, leads to a high rate of CR avoiding more aggressive chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Three courses of ABVD without RT are adequate in patients with early CR defined by negative PET-CT. In early positive PET-CT it is possible to intensify therapy improving the otherwise bad prognosis; more aggressive treatment might also be suitable. These results need to be confirmed by a larger group of patients and a longer follow-up. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

    Abstract: Background. Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Comorbidity Index (HCT.CI) score, described by Sorror, is a useful tool to assess the risk for Non Relapse Mortality (NRM) after Allogeneic HSCT. The impact of this score in Autologous HSCT is still to be confirmed. Aims. To determine the impact of HCT.Ci score in the morbidity and mortality after autologous HSCT, assessing the 100 day morbidity defined as orothraqueal intubation (OTI), dialysis or shock (defined as vasopressors need), 100 day mortality, early morbi-mortality (combined end-point by any of the previous end-point) and long term NRM. Materials and Methods. We retrospectively reviewed 1478 medical records of adult patients who received an autologous HSCT in our centre between October 2002 and April 2016. Median age was 49 years (range 16-74 years), 58% were male, prevalent diseases were Multiple Myeloma (48%), Non Hodgkin Lymphoma (27%) and Hodgkin Lymphoma (18%), 49% were in complete remission, 46% received one chemotherapy scheme before transplant, 41% two schemes and 12% three or more (heavily pre-treated). In respect to conditionings, melphalan was used in 48% of the cases, CBV in 25%, BEAM in 8% as well as BendaEAM. Seventy five percent received an infusion of stem cells CD34+≥3x10.6/kg. Regarding comorbidities, 58% had low risk (LR) HCT.CI (score 0), 32% intermediate risk (IR) (1-2) and 11% high risk (HR) (≥3). For univariate analysis we use Chi2 for dichotomic variables, Kaplan-Meier for Overall Survival (OS) and cumulative incidence for NRM; for multivariate analysis we used logistic regression for dichotomic and Cox regression for time dependant variables. Results. Median follow up was 1.9 years. Early mortality (day 100) was 2.8%, 5.6% required OTI, 4.8% required vassopresors and 2.2% dialysis, 1-3 years NRM and OS were 4.3-5.2% and 89-77% respectively. High risk HCT.Ci patients had a significant increase in 100 day mortality compared to IR and LR (7% vs.3% vs. 2% respectively, p=0.002), OTI (12% vs. 7% vs. 4%, p 〈 0.001), dialysis (4.5% vs.2.6% vs. 1.5%, p=0.04), shock (10% vs.6.4% vs. 3%, p 〈 0.001), early morbi-mortality (15% vs.9 % vs. 4.6%, p 〈 0.001) and NRM (1-3 years 9.2-13% vs. 3.8-3.8% vs. 3.5-4.5%, p 〈 0.001) (figure 1). After multivariate analysis these outcomes remain significant (showed as OR with 95% CI, IR and HR compared to LR): early mortality (1.8, 0.8-4.2 and 3.9, 1.6-9.7, p=0.003), OTI (2.1, 1.2-3.7, p 〈 0.01 and 3.9, 2.0-7.5, p 〈 0.001), dialysis (2.2, 0.8-5.5 and 4.1, 1.4-11.7, p 〈 0.01), shock (2.7, 1.4-4.9, p=0.001 and 4.4, 2.1-8.9, p 〈 0.001), early morbi-mortality (2.4, 1.4-4.0, p=0.001 and 4.2, 2.3-7.6, p 〈 0.001) and NRM (1.3, 0.7-2.4 and 3.0, 1.5-5.7, p=0.001) (table 1). No significant impact was observed in OS. Other than comorbidities, significant impact was observed in early mortality (pre-transplant status, heavily pre-treated patients and BendaEAM conditioning), OTI (NHL, heavily pre-treated patients, BendaEAM conditioning), dialysis (pre-transplant status and BendaEAM conditioning), shock (NHL, heavily pre-treated patients and BendaEAM conditioning), morbi-mortality (NHL and BendaEAM conditioning) and NRM (male patients, NHL, pre-transplant status, heavily pre-treated patients and BendaEAM conditioning). Conclusions. We observed that HCT.CI had a significant impact on Autologous HSCT treatment related mortality basically due to early toxicity express as 100 day mortality and the three main morbidity outcomes as well as the combined end point. This observation should be confirmed in larger series. Figure 1 Figure 1. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

    Abstract: Introduction: The majority of patients with Multiple Myeloma (MM) are elderly (≥ 65 years). High dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (HDCT-ASCT) is the standard of care in patients younger than 65 years. This treatment option should be individualized in elderly patients, mainly due to increased toxicity. Goals: To assess the safety and outcome of HDCT-ASCT in real life in patients ≥ 65 years of age with a diagnosis of MM. Material and methods: Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients with a diagnosis of MM according to the IMWG 2014 criteria from a single academic center in Argentina, undergoing their first HDTC-ASCT during the period 2008- 2018. Patients with plasma cell leukemia or light chain amyloidosis were excluded. Data was extracted from medical records and collected in an standardized case report form. Consolidation treatment and maintenance were used according to the standard of institutional care at the time of the ASCT. The patients ≥ 65 years old at HDCT-ASCT were compared with those below 〈 65 years treated in the same period. Response were categorized as: complete remission (CR), very good partial remission plus partial remission (VGPR/PR) and stable disease plus progression disease (EE/PD). Overall response rate (ORR) included CR, VGPR and PR. Overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) were calculated using the Kaplan and Meier method and compared using log-rank test. For survival, the risk ratio (HR) was calculated according to the multivariate Cox regression model. Transplant-related mortality (TRM) was analyzed with cumulative incidence curves of competitive risks. Values of p 〈 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 221 patients were included in the analysis: 50 patients ≥65 years (7 out of 50 〉 70 years) and 171 patients 〈 65 years. Patient's demographics and disease characteristics by age group are summarized in Table 1. Reduced conditioning regimen (melphalan 140 mg/m2) was used in 5% of younger patients and 24% of older patients, p 〈 0.001. In the safety analysis, no significant differences were found between the two groups in the median days of hospitalization, duration of days of neutropenia or thrombocytopenia and life support measures during the period of hospitalization for the transplant (Table 2). The TRM was 2.7% at 100 days (95% CI 1.1-5.5); there was no difference between patients ≥ 65 years and 〈 65 years (2% vs. 2.9%, respectively; p = 0.928). CR before transplant was 22% and 24% and at day 100 after ASCT 44% and 37% in patients ≥65 years and 〈 65 years, respectively. For VGPR, corresponding rate were 64% and 67% before transplant and 79% and 77% at day 100 after ASCT in patients ≥65 years and 〈 65 years, respectively. ASCT increased CR rate in both groups (p=0.050 and p=0.024, respectively). After a median follow-up of 42.5 months (IQR 21-71.5), 3-year PFS was 56.2% (95% CI 39.8-70%) in ≥65 years and 58.2% (95% CI 49.6-65.9) in 〈 65 years; (p = 0.86). The OS at 3 years was 78.3% (95% CI 62.1-88, 2) in ≥65 years and 79.3% (95% CI 71.6-85.1) in 〈 65 years; (p = 0.94). In the multivariate analysis including age at transplant, the quality of pre-transplant response (HR 0.08 for CR, p 〈 0.001; HR 0.16 for VGPR/PR, p = 0.003) and the use of IP (HR 0.51; p = 0.047) were associated with better OS; while the age at transplant had no impact (HR 1.06; p=0.865) (Figure 1). For PFS , including age at transplant, only the quality of pre-transplant response demonstrated statistical significance (HR 0.06 for CR, p 〈 0.001; HR 0.14 for VGPR/PR, p 〈 0.001). Additionally, post-transplant maintenance, was independently associated with better OS (HR 0.34; p=0.016) and PFS (HR 0.47; p 〈 0.001). Conclusions: Our data shows that it is feasible and safe to perform HDCT-ASCT in fit patients with multiple myeloma older than 65 years, and even in patients 〉 70 years old. Patient selection should be based on frailty and comorbidities rather than chronological age alone. This group of patients experiences survival benefits similar to young patients.
