    Abstract: INTRODUCTION The t (11; 14) by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) is found in 15-20% of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) . Although it was classically considered a standard risk translocation or even a good prognosis, recent studies conducted in the era of new drugs show contradictory results and it is not well established if they have to be considered intermediate or standard risk. The possibility of using targeted therapy with venetoclax for patients harboring t(11;14) makes the investigation of the outcome of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) with t(11;14) as relevant. METHODS We analyzed the baseline characteristics and outcome of patients with t(11;14)and receiving HDT-ASCT within the series of 647 patients with NDMM between 1988 and 2018 according to the current criteria at each moment at two academic hospitals in Spain (University Hospital of Salamanca and Hospital of Leon) . The FISH was performed on selected cells according to international regulations and centralized at the University Hospital of Salamanca. For this purpose, a descriptive cross-sectional study was first conducted comparing the characteristics of patients with t (11; 14) versus the rest. The final objective wasto evaluate the role of HDT-ASCT in NDMM with t(11;14). RESULTS The baseline characteristics of the whole series were: a median age of 71years (yrs) (range:30-96). 217 patients (33,5%) were under 65 years. 352 (56.2%) were IgG; 161 (25.7%) IgA; 87 (13.9%) Bence Jones; 19 (3%) non-secretors, and 5 and 2 cases were IgD and IgM, respectively. 320 (53.2%) received novel agents as part of the first line of therapy. Overall, 153 (27.8%) achieved complete response (CR) after first line, and 403 (73.1%) at least a partial response. After a median follow-up for living patients of 4.26 yrs (range: 0,1-27.3), the OS of the entire series was 2.74 years. T(11;14) was performed in 440 NDMM patients and was positive in 80 (18.2%). Only in 5 patients other high-risk alterations (t (14:16), t (4:14) or del17p (p53)) were detected. The baseline characteristics of patients with and without t (11:14) did not show significant differences, except for the heavy chain pattern(p 〈 0,001). IgA was lower in patients with t(11:14) 12,8% (10 out of 78)vs 27,7% (98 out of 353). Of note, most patients with non-secretory MM (10 out of 16, 62,5%) had the t(11;14) whilst in the conventional secretory MM patients, t(11;14) was observed in 68out of 415(16,4%). In addition, the plasma cell bone marrow infiltration was significantly higher in patients with t(11;14)( 〉 60% Plasma Cells) 32.8% vs 13.3%(p 〈 0.001)). HDT-ASCT was performed in 162 patients (25%)and 22 of them (13,5%) were positive for the t(11:14) and only in 2 patients, other high-risk alterations were detected.The induction therapy received in both treatments arms was homogeneous basically consisted on combinations of proteasome inhibitors plus immunomodulatory drugs. The median OS for NDMM patients undergoing ASCT was 4,33 years. (range: 0,47-26,85) and the median PFS for this patients was 2,25 yrs (range: 0,1-27,25) The median PFS for patients with t (11/14) undergoing ASCT trended to be higher than that observed in patients without t(11;14) who received also HDT-ASCT (99.1 vs 54.9 months), without obtaining significant results, (p 0.205) maybe due to the small number of patients (Figure 1).The median OS in the group of patients with and without t(11:14) undergoing ASCT was 120,8 vs 140 months (p= 0,829). In the cohort of non eligible ASCT patients both median PFS and OS for patients with t(11:14) was similar than that observed in patients without t(11:14)(median PFS of 19,9 vs 19,4 months) (p 0,438) and (median OS of 31,5 vs 44 months) (p 0,424), respectively. CONCLUSION T(11;14) seems to be a cytogenetic abnormality more frequently observed in patients with NDMM and non secretory phenotype what requires further investigation. Patients with t(11;14) benefit the most if they received HDT-ASCT and it would represent a therapeutic strategy of choice if the patient is transplant-eligible.

    Abstract: Introduction: Patients (pts) with CLL may be at particular risk of severe COVID-19 given advanced age and immune dysregulation. Two large series with limited follow-up have reported outcomes for pts with CLL and COVID-19 (Scarfò, et al. Leukemia 2020; Mato, et al. Blood 2020). To provide maximal clarity on outcomes for pts with CLL and COVID-19, we partnered in a worldwide effort to describe the clinical experience and validate predictors of survival, including potential treatment effects. Methods: This international collaboration represents a partnership between investigators at 141 centers. Data are presented in two cohorts. Cohort 1 (Co1) includes pts captured through efforts by European Research Initiative on CLL (ERIC), Italian CAMPUS CLL Program, and Grupo Español de Leucemia Linfática Crónica. The validation cohort, Cohort 2 (Co2), includes pts from US (66%), UK (23%), EU (7%), and other countries (4%). There is no overlap in cases between cohorts. CLL pts were included if COVID-19 was diagnosed by PCR detection of SARS-CoV-2 and they required inpatient hospitalization. Data were collected retrospectively 2/2020 - 5/2020 using standardized case report forms. Baseline characteristics, preexisting comorbidities (including cumulative illness rating scale (CIRS) score ≥6 vs. & lt;6), CLL treatment history, details regarding COVID-19 course, management, and therapy, and vital status were collected. The primary endpoint of this study was to estimate the case fatality rate (CFR), defined as the proportion of pts who died among all pts hospitalized with COVID-19. Chi-squared test was used to compare frequencies; univariable and multivariable analyses utilized Cox regression. Predictors of inferior OS in both Co1 and Co2 were included in multivariable analyses. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate overall survival (OS) from time of COVID-19 diagnosis (dx). Results: 411 hospitalized, COVID-19 positive CLL pts were analyzed (Co1 n=281, Co2 n=130). Table 1 describes baseline characteristics. At COVID-19 dx, median age was 72 in Co1 (range 37-94) and 68 in Co2 (range 41-98); 31% (Co1) and 45% (Co2) had CIRS ≥6. In Co1, 48% were treatment-naïve and 26% were receiving CLL-directed therapy at COVID-19 dx (66% BTKi ± anti-CD20, 19% Venetoclax ± anti-CD20, 9.6% chemo/chemoimmunotherapy (CIT), 1.4% PI3Ki, 4% other). In Co2, 36% were never treated and 49% were receiving CLL-directed therapy (65% BTKi ± anti-CD20, 19% Venetoclax ± anti-CD20, 9.4% multi-novel agent combinations, 1.6% CIT, 1.6% PI3Ki, 1.6% anti-CD20 monotherapy, 1.6% other). Most pts receiving CLL-directed therapy had it held at COVID-19 diagnosis (93% in Co1 and 81% in Co2). Frequency of most COVID-19 symptoms/laboratory abnormalities were similar in the two cohorts including fever (88% in both), lymphocytosis (ALC ≥30 x 109/L; 27% vs. 21%), and lymphocytopenia (ALC & lt; 1.0 x 109/L; 18% vs. 28%), while others varied between Co1 and Co2 (p & lt;0.0001), including cough (61% vs. 93%), dyspnea (60% vs. 84%), fatigue (13% vs. 77%). Median follow-up was 24 days (range 2-86) in Co1 and 17 days (1-43) in Co2. CFRs were similar in Co1 and Co2, 30% and 34% (p=0.45). 54% and 43% were discharged while 16% and 23% remained admitted at last follow-up in Co1 and Co2, respectively. The proportion of pts requiring supplemental oxygen was similar (89% vs. 92%) while rate of ICU admission was higher in Co2 (20% vs. 48%, p & lt;0.0001). Figure 1 depicts OS in each cohort. Univariable analyses demonstrated that age and CIRS ≥6 significantly predicted inferior OS in both cohorts, while only age remained an independent predictor of inferior OS in multivariable analyses (Table 2). Prior treatment for CLL (vs. observation) predicted inferior OS in Co1 but not Co2. Conclusions : In the largest cancer dx-specific cohort reported, pts with CLL hospitalized for COVID-19 had a CFR of 30-34%. Advanced patient age at COVID-19 diagnosis was an independent predictor of OS in two large cohorts. This CFR will serve as a benchmark for mortality for future outcomes studies, including therapeutic interventions for COVID-19 in this population. The effect of CLL treatment on OS was inconsistent across cohorts; COVID-19 may be severe regardless of treatment status. While there were no significant differences in distribution of current lines of therapy between cohorts, prior chemo exposure was more common in Co1 vs. Co2, which may account for difference in OS. Extended follow-up will be presented.

    Abstract: Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a complex autoimmune disease whose hallmark is a deregulation of cellular and humoral immunity leading to increased destruction and reduced production of platelets. The heterogeneity of presentation and clinical course hampers personalized approaches for diagnosis and management. In 2021, the Spanish ITP Group (GEPTI) of the Spanish Society of Hematology and Hemotherapy (SEHH) updated a consensus document that had been launched in 2011. The updated guidelines have been the reference for the diagnosis and management of primary ITP in Spain ever since. Nevertheless, the emergence of new tools and strategies makes it advisable to review them again. For this reason, we have updated the main recommendations appropriately. Our aim is to provide a practical tool to facilitate the integral management of all aspects of primary ITP management.

    Abstract: BACKGROUND: Despite the excellent prognostic of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients since the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), approximately 50% of patients that are treated with TKIs will discontinue first line treatment due to lack of efficacy or intolerance. Once patients need a second line treatment, a considerable proportion of patients will need third or even fourth line therapy during further evolution. At this moment, there is a lack of data about real benefit of this group of patients. We have recently published our experience of 30 CML patients treated with bosutinib in 4th line. We present an update of the study where we have increased the number of patients, and the follow-up. The aim of this study is to present safety and efficacy data CML chronic phase patients treated with bosutinib in 4th line. METHODS: We have collected data from 59 CML patients treated with bosutinib in 4th line after resistance or intolerance to IM, NI and DA. 51 patients have been treated under the Spanish compassionate use program (36 centers) and 10 patients were treated in a single institution from United Kingdom. Median age of patients at diagnosis was 53 years. The percentage of low, intermediate and high risk Sokal groups were 47%, 37% and 16%. Median time TKIs exposure before bosutinib was 9 years. The most common indication (30/59) was intolerant to DA and NI. Patients' dispositions and main line characteristics are shown in table 1. RESULTS: Median follow-up was 14.3 months. All patients started bosutinib at 500mg/d, median dose of was 450mg/d. Overall probabilities to either achieve or maintain previous response were 96% (57/59), 62% (37/59), 40% (24/59) and 17% (10/59) for complete hematological response (CHR), complete cytogenetic response (CCyR), major molecular response (MMR) and MR4.5 respectively. However, probabilities to obtain responses (in patients without response evaluated at baseline) were 27% (7/26), 26% (12/45) and 12% (7/55) for CCyR, MMR and MR4.5. As expected, probabilities to obtain CCyR were lower for patients resistant to DA and NI patients than for patients intolerant to DA and NI (8% VS 44%). Event free survival (EFS) and progression free survival (PFS) probabilities were 50% and 83% by 27 month. Treatment was discontinued in 20/58 (34%), most frequent reasons being adverse events 9/59(15%), lack of efficacy 5/59 (8.5%), disease progression 2/59 (3.4%) and death 1/59 (1.7%). Two patients discontinued due to stem cell transplantation. The adverse events that led to treatment discontinuation were pleural effusion (3), diarrhea (2), rash, renal impairment, auricular fibrillation and liver enzyme elevation one patient each. Overall, bosutinib was well tolerated. Grade 3-4 hematological toxicities were 3%, 6% and 6% for anemia, thromboctytopenia and neutropenia. Most common non hematological side effects were diarrhea (39%, nauseas 13% and liver alterations 14% and pleural effusion 14%. CONCLUSIONS: Little is known about the therapeutic role of Bosutinib in 4th line. The series presented here is, to our knowledge, the largest being presented. Bosutinib seems to be an appropriate treatment option for patients resistant or intolerant to three prior TKIs. Table 1.

    Abstract: Background and objective. Inotuzumab ozogamicin (InO) was approved for patients (pts) with relapsed/refractory (R/R) CD22-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) based on the results of INO-VATE trial (Kantarjian et al, 2016). There are scarce studies evaluating the results of InO therapy in real life in similar pts as those from the INO-VATE trial. Our objective was to analyze the outcomes of pts included in the compassionate program of InO in Spain (June 2013-April 2018) before definitive approval. Patients and Methods. Inclusion criteria were age & gt;18 yrs., CD22+ ALL, R/R resistant to ≥2 previous lines, Ph+ ALL resistant/intolerant to TKI, ECOG ≤2 or & gt;2 if due to ALL, Bilirubin & lt;1.5 ULN, AST & ALT & lt;2.5 ULN, Creatinine ≤ 1.5 ULN. Exclusion criteria included mature B ALL, active CNS leukemia, chemotherapy in the two previous weeks, HSCT in the previous 6 months, grade ≥2 aGVHD or cGVHD, acute or chronic hepatitis B or C, HIV infection, VOD/SOS and antecedent chronic liver disease. Cycles of InO (0.8 mg/m 2 IV d1, and 0.5mg/m 2 IV on d8 and d15) were given every 21 days. Main outcomes: early death, CR/CRi, CR duration, PFS, OS and HSCT realization after InO. Results. 34 pts were included in the trial, 21 males, median age 43 yrs (range 19-73), ECOG & lt;2 22/26, WBC count 7.8 x10 9/L (0.3-388), pro B ALL 4/33, common 26/33, pre-B 3/33, Ph+ ALL 5/34 (15%), BM blast cells & gt;50% 15/33 (45%). 25/34 (73%) of pts received & gt;2 previous lines of therapy and 20 (59%) were previously transplanted. The duration of first CR remission before InO was & lt;12 months in 16/33 pts (49%) and 16/34 pts were refractory to the last treatment before InO. The median number of InO cycles was 2 (1-6). One pt withdrew the study before evaluation, 5 (15%) dead during therapy and 21 (64%) achieved CR/CRi. Ten pts (29%) were transplanted. With a median follow-up for alive patients after InO start of 26 months, the medians (95%CI) of DR, PFS and OS were 4.7 months (2.4-7.0), 3.5 (2.0-5.0) and 4.0 months (1.9-6.1), respectively. CR duration, PFS and OS were significantly shorter in refractory ALL (Figure 1A), pts with first CR (CR1) duration & lt;12 months (Figure 1B) and in those without previous HSCT. The number of previous lines of therapy did not show impact on outcome. The most frequent adverse events were hepatic (24%), infectious (18%), hematologic (15%) and gastrointestinal (9%). 3/10 transplanted patients showed grade 3-4 VOD/SOS. Grade 5 toxic events were hepatic (n=2), infection (n=2) and hemorrhage (n=1). Conclusion. The results in this series of compassionate use of InO for R/R ALL before approval for clinical use were slightly inferior to that of the INO-VATE trial. However, patients form this series had poorer risk factors than those included in that trial. The frequency and type of AE were similar to that of observed in the INO-VATE trial.

    Abstract: The prognosis of relapsed B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B‐ALL) is poor and few patients can be successfully rescued with conventional therapies. Inotuzumab ozogamicin (IO), an antibody against the CD22 antigen linked to calicheamicin, has been approved as a rescue treatment in relapsed/refractory (R/R) B‐ALL. Patients and Methods This was an observational, retrospective, multicenter study of adult patients included in the Spanish program of compassionate use of IO in centers from the PETHEMA group (Programa Español de Tratamientos en Hematología). Results Thirty‐four patients with a median age of 43 years (range, 19–73) were included. Twenty patients (59%) were refractory to the last treatment, IO treatment was given as ≥3rd salvage treatment in 25 patients (73%) and 20 patients (59%) received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation before IO treatment. After a median of 2 cycles of IO, 64% of patients achieved complete response (CR)/complete response with incomplete recovery. The median response duration, progression‐free survival and overall survival (OS) were 4.7 (95%CI, 2.4–7.0 months), 3.5 (95%CI, 1.0–5.0 months) and 4 months (95%CI, 1.9–6.1 months) respectively, with better OS for patients with relapsed B‐ALL versus refractory disease (10.4 vs. 2.5 months, respectively) ( p  = .01). There was a trend for better OS for patients with first CR duration 〉 12 months (7.2 months [95%CI, 3.2–11.2] vs. 3 months [95% CI, 1.8–4.2] respectively) ( p  = .054). There was no sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) event during IO treatment, but three patients (9%) developed grade 3–4 SOS during alloHSCT after IO treatment. Conclusions Our study showed slightly inferior outcomes of the pivotal trial probably due to poorer risk factors and late onset of IO therapy of recruited patients. Our results support early use of IO in relapsed/refractory ALL patients.

    Abstract: Abstract 4051 Multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) immunophenotyping has shown to be of value for differential diagnosis and minimal residual disease assessment in multiple myeloma. However, the clinical value of MFC immunophenotyping in other plasma cell disorders (PCD) remains largely unexplored. Systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare PCD characterized by the accumulation of monoclonal light chain fragments leading to end-organ damage and short survival. Bone marrow (BM) plasma cell (PC) infiltration in AL is usually low and thus the identification of clonal PC can be often difficult by immunohistochemistry and/or immunofluorescence. In the present study we focused on 34 BM samples sent to our institution with a suspected diagnosis of AL. MFC immunophenotypic studies were performed using the following 4-color combinations of MoAbs (FITC/PE/PerCP-Cy5.5/APC): CD38/CD56/CD19/CD45 (n=34); in addition cy-Kappa/cy-Lambda/CD19/CD38 staining was add to confirm the clonal or polyclonal nature of BMPC in equivocal cases. Ploidy and cell cycle analysis were additionally performed in a subset of cases (n=12/34). From the total 34 cases included in the present study, 28 had a confirmed diagnosis of AL. The remaining 6 cases were finally diagnosed with localized - amyloidoma - (n=2) and familial (n=1) forms of amyloidosis, multiple myeloma-associated amyloid (n=2) and congestive pericarditis (n=1). Interestingly, the presence of clonal PC was detected by MFC in 27 of the 28 (96%) patients with AL; in turn, clonal PC were undetectable in the BM of all cases with localized and familial forms of amyloidosis. The median overall level of PC (M-PC plus N-PC) seen in MFC immunophenotypic analyses of BM samples of the 28 patients with AL was 1.9% (range: 0.1% - 15%), with a significant positive correlation between PC enumerated by MFC and conventional morphology (r=0.5; p=.01). Within the BMPC compartment, the median proportion of clonal PC was of 94% (mean 81% ± 29%); in 6 cases all BMPC were clonal while in the remaining 22 patients residual normal PC persisted (median of normal PC/BMPC 13% ± 31%). The most common aberrant phenotypes were down-regulation of CD19 (92%) and CD45 (83%), followed by overexpression of CD56 (56%) and infra-expression of CD38 (42%). Aneuploidy was only found in 18% of cases, all of them hyperdiploid. Cell cycle analysis showed a median % of S-phase and G2-Mitosis PC of 0.7% and 3.5%, respectively. Concerning patients' outcome, cases with undetectable normal PC (6/28, 21%) had a significantly decreased overall survival (OS) compared to patients with persistent BM normal PC at diagnosis (22/28, 79%) with 3-year OS rates of 0% vs. 59%, respectively (p=.001). In summary, these preliminary data suggests that MFC immunophenotyping investigations may be clinically relevant in patients with suspected amyloidosis for i) differential diagnosis between AL and other forms of amyloidosis and, ii) prognostication of patients with AL according to the presence or absence of baseline persistent normal PC. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
