Abstract: Introduction. Ibrutinib is a first-in-class, oral, once-a-day Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor that achieves high overall response rates and durable remissions in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) including those with high-risk features (unmutated IGHV, TP53 abnormalities, 11q deletion). Survival with continuous single-agent ibrutinib in previously-untreated CLL patients is comparable to an age-matched general population (Figure 1). IBRORS is an observational, retrospective, multicentre study to describe the characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with CLL treated with single-agent ibrutinib in routine clinical practice in Spain. This present analysis reviews the subset of patients in IBRORS who received ibrutinib as the first-line of treatment. This series includes a significant number of patients with high risk cytogenetic/molecular alterations (del17p/TP53 M), which corresponds with the approved indication for first-line CLL patients in Spain at the time. Methods. Adult patients diagnosed with CLL treated with single-agent ibrutinib in first-line, or at first or second relapse since its commercialization in Spain (between January 2016 to January 2019) were included in the IBRORS study. Clinical characteristics of patients, efficacy and tolerability of ibrutinib as first-line treatment were analyzed here. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Results. 84 patients, from a total of 269 included in IBRORS, received single-agent ibrutinib as first-line treatment. The median age was 71.3 years (range 63-77) at the time of ibrutinib initiation. 56.3% of patients presented with an intermediate/high-risk Rai-Binet stage, and the majority of patients (98.6%) had an ECOG PS of 0-1. 91.7% of patients had at least 1 high risk molecular cytogenetic factor (unmutated IGHV, TP53 abnormalities, 11q deletion or complex karyotype) described in table 1. Baseline comorbidities of patients are described in table 2. Concomitant medication included anticoagulants (9.5% patients; vitamin K antagonist [n=4], Apixaban [n=1] and LMWH [n=3] patients), antiplatelet agents (11.9% patients), and antihypertensives (50% patients). The overall response rate (ORR) was 79.5%; 14/84 (16.6%) achieved a complete response (CR), 14/84 (16.6%) achieved CR unconfirmed, 27/84 (32.14%) achieved a partial response (PR) and 12/84 (14.2%) a PR + lymphocytosis. The median PFS and OS were not reached, and the estimated PFS at 24 months was 84.5% (73.4-95.6%). OS and PFS curves are represented in figure 2. The PFS of each patient subgroup with high-risk cytogenetic characteristics was similar to that of all patients in the first-line cohort: del17p/TP53 mutation (HR = 0.963 [95% CI 0.188-4.928]; p = 0.964), del11q (HR = 0.042 [95% CI 0.000-682.736] ; p=0.521), unmutated IGHV (HR = 0.391 [95% CI 0.110-1.394]; p = 0.148). The median duration of exposure to ibrutinib was 17.3 (11.9-25.6) months. Dose reduction of ibrutinib occurred in 17/84 (20.2%) patients, 8/84 (9.52%) due to toxicity (4 hematologic toxicity and 4 non-hematologic toxicity). 27/84 (32.1%) patients had temporary interruption of treatment. 15/84 (17.8%) patients permanently discontinued ibrutinib including 6 (7.14%) patients due to progression, 4 (4.76%) due to toxicity and 5 for other reasons. Safety: 49/84 (58.3%) patients developed at least one adverse event (AE), while 12/84 (14.2%) patients developed at least one serious adverse event (SAE). Twelve (14.3%) patients reported at least one haematological toxicity while 53 patients (63.1%) recorded at least one non-haematological toxicity. Only 1 patient experienced grade 3 atrial fibrillation, which did not lead to discontinuation. The most common AEs are described in table 3. Conclusion. This population of previously-untreated CLL patients, enriched for high-risk genomic features, reflects the initial approval of ibrutinib for the treatment of first-line patients with del17p in Spain. Single-agent Ibrutinib as the first-line treatment in this real world population was effective regardless of risk factors and well tolerated, with a low rate of discontinuation due to toxicity. Findings are consistent with those reported in clinical trials.

Abstract: Introduction. Despite the high proportion of prolonged remissions obtained with ibrutinib in patients with CLL, complete responses (CR) are rarely observed. For the purpose of increasing the deepness of response, ibrutinib has been tested in combination with other drugs that exert a different mechanism of action. Thus, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been concomitantly combined with ibrutinib in untreated or R/R CLLs. Nonetheless, several data derived from both in vitro and clinical studies do not support a synergistic effect of the concomitant administration of ibrutinib with anti-CD20 mAbs. Herein, we present the preliminary results of a multi-center, non-randomized phase 2 study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of the sequential treatment of CLL patients with ibrutinib followed, in those not attaining CR, by a consolidation phase with ofatumumab (GELLC-7, EudraCT number 2016-004937-26). Patients and methods. Patients aged ≥18 years, physically fit (CIRS score 〈 6) with treatment-naïve CLL were enrolled in this study. Patients received an induction phase consisting of 12 cycles (28-day) of ibrutinib in monotherapy at 420 mg once daily. Patients attaining a CR after this induction phase were kept on ibrutinib until progression. In contrast, patients not obtaining a CR also continued on ibrutinib but received a consolidation treatment with 7 doses of ofatumumab (300 mg D1 and 1000mg D8 of C13, 1000 mg D1 of C14-C18). The primary endpoint of the study was the CR rate assessed after 20 cycles of treatment (2 months after completing ofatumumab consolidation). Results. 84 patients with a median age 69 years (range 38-84 yrs), 71% male, were included in this study. At inclusion, 83.3% had Binet stage B/C, 61% unmutated IGHV status, and 19% high risk genetic aberrations (7.6% 17p deletion and/or TP53mut, and 11.4% 11q deletion). At the interim data cut-off (June 2019), 7 patients had discontinued the study (progression to Richter transformation, n=1; patient withdrawal, n=3; adverse events [AE], n=3, including one G5 AE), 5 of them during the first 12 cycles of treatment. Sixty-seven patients received the induction phase with 12 cycles of ibrutinib, whereas 22 patients completed 20 cycles of treatment and were evaluable for the primary endpoint of the study. After 12 cycles of ibrutinib, 3 patients (4.5%) were in CR, 54 patients (80.5%) in PR, 6 patients (9%) in PR with lymphocytosis, and 4 patients (6%) in SD. In 20 patients receiving the consolidation with ofatumumab an improvement in response was observed, with 8/20 patients (40%) attaining a CR (7 patients converted PR to CR, and one patient SD to CR), whereas the remaining 12 patients were classified as PR. Two patients that were already in CR at cycle 12 maintained the CR under ibrutinib monotherapy. MRD was undetectable in blood ( 〈 10-4 by flow cytometry) only in one of the 22 patients. With a median follow-up of 15 months (2 - 20.2 months), the estimated 12-months PFS and OS was 98%. Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) were experienced by 26 patients (31%), whilst 22 serious AEs were observed in 16 patients (19%) (14 infections, 1 febrile neutropenia, 3 dyspnoea, 1 anemia, 1 edema/pleural effusion, 1 renal insufficiency, 1 squamous carcinoma). The most common G3/4 AEs were hematological toxicity (neutropenia [7.1%], anemia [4.5%] , thrombocytopenia [2.4%]) and infections (8.5%). The Gr 5 AE consisted of a severe peripheral edema and pleural effusion leading to death. The great majority of SAEs (67%) and G3/4 AEs (66%) were observed during the first 12 cycles of treatment with ibrutinib monotherapy. Conclusions. The preliminary analysis of the GELLC7 trial showed that the addition of consolidation with ofatumumab after 12 cycles of prior treatment with ibrutinib was well tolerated and elicited a deeper response. These results support the potential role of a sequential therapeutic strategy in CLL, where the addition of a consolidation with mAbs in patients with low tumor burden might improve the quality of the response. Finally, more mature results will be further presented at the meeting.

Abstract: Background and objective. Idelalisib is an oral inhibitor of the p110δ isoform of PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) approved in Europe and USA as monotherapy in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) after 2 previous lines of therapy based on a phase 2 study (Gopal et al, N Eng J Med 2014). However, there are scarce data on the use of idelalisib in clinical practice (Eyre et al, Br J Haematol 2017). The objective of this study was to analyze the efficacy and toxicity of idelalisib in relapsed/refractory FL patients in clinical practice in Spanish hospitals of GELTAMO group (GELT-IDE-2018-02 Study). Patients and Methods. Retrospective study of relapsed/refractory FL patients treated with idelalisib as salvage therapy in clinical practice. Demographic and clinical and biological variables were analyzed at FL diagnosis and at the time of idelalisib therapy, as well as its efficacy and toxicity. Results. A total of 43 patients from 20 hospitals were included. At time of idelalisib therapy, median age was 63 years (range 44-83), number of previous lines of therapy was 3 (2-7), 42% (n=18) were refractory to last previous treatment and 42% (n=18) had received an autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT); 56% (n=24) had progressed in the first 24 months after FL diagnosis (POD24). Median duration of treatment with idelalisib at time of analysis was 8.1 months (1.1-37.4) and 28/43 patients (65%) discontinued therapy, 13 due to progression, 12 due to adverse events (AE) and 3 due to physician's decision. Overall response rate (ORR) was 73% (32% CR) and median PFS 14.6 months (95% CI 0-32.2), with a trend to be higher in non-POD24 group (median PFS of 9.4 months [95% CI 1.7-16.9] in POD24 vs. 27 months [95% CI NA] in non-PO24 patients, p=0.082); median duration of response to idelalisib was 25.1 months (95% CI 13.1-37.6). Median overall survival (OS) was not reached at the time of analysis, with a 2-year OS of 74% (95% CI 58%-90%) (Figure). In 4 patients, an allogeneic SCT was performed after idelalisib. A total of 86% (n=37) of patients showed any AE, being in 56% (n=24) of grade ≥3 AE. Toxicities of grade ≥3 more frequent were: neutropenia (23% of patients), diarrhea (23%), infections (23%: pneumonia in 4 patients, CMV infection in 2, febrile neutropenia in 1 and other infections in 3 [1 of them died due to Aspergillus infection]), and increased transaminases (9%). Conclusions. In this series of patients with relapsed/refractory FL, several previous lines of therapies and factors associated with poor prognosis, the treatment with idelalisib was associated with efficacy and toxicity similar to published studies. These results support the use of idelalisib as an option for FL patients with multiple or poor risk relapses. Financial support: Gilead Figure.

Abstract: Available data have proved insufficient to develop consensus recommendations on the prevention of thrombosis and bleeding in myelofibrosis (MF). We evaluated the incidence and risk factors of vascular complications in 1613 patients from the Spanish Myelofibrosis Registry. Over a total of 6981 patient‐years at risk, 6.4% of the study population had at least one thrombotic event after MF diagnosis, amounting to an incidence rate of 1.65 per 100 patient‐years. Prior history of thrombosis, the JAK2 mutation, and the intermediate‐2/high‐risk International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) categories conferred an increased thrombotic risk after adjustment for the risk‐modifying effect of anti‐thrombotic and cytoreductive treatments. History of thrombosis and the JAK 2 mutation allowed us to pinpoint a group of patients at higher risk of early thrombosis. No decreased incidence of thrombosis was observed while patients were on anti‐thrombotic or cytoreductive treatment. An increased risk of venous thrombosis was found during treatment with immunomodulatory agents. A total of 5.3% of patients had at least one episode of major bleeding, resulting in an incidence rate of 1.5 events per 100 patient‐years. Patients in the intermediate‐2/high‐risk IPSS categories treated with anti‐coagulants had an almost sevenfold increased risk of major bleeding. These findings should prove useful for guiding decision‐making in clinical practice.

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 Patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), non-candidates for autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT), have few treatment options. Ibrutinib is an oral Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has shown increased antitumor activity in patients with DLBCL of different subtype from germinal center B-cell like (non-GCB). In the present phase II clinical trial (NCT02692248), we investigated the efficacy and toxicity of the combination of Ibrutinib with the R-GEMOX-D regimen (rituximab, gemcitabine, oxaliplatin and dexamethasone), in patients with non- GCB DLBCL. METHODS We included patients with histological diagnosis of non-GCB DLBCL (according to Hans algorithm), with relapsed or refractory disease after at least 1 line of immunochemotherapy and non-candidates for ASCT. Patients received an induction treatment consisting of 6 (in case of complete remission [CR] after cycle 4) or 8 (in case of partial response [PR] or stable disease after cycle 4) cycles of R-GEMOX-D at standard doses every 2 weeks, in combination with ibrutinib (560 mg daily), followed by a maintenance treatment with ibrutinib for a maximum of 2 years. The primary objective was to evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) after 4 cycles, and the secondary objectives were: CR rate, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and toxicity. Analyses were performed in the intention to treat population (data cut-off 10th April 2020). RESULTS Sixty-four patients (59.4% male) were included between March 2016 and November 2018. Median age was 67 (25-84) years. Patients had received a median of 2 previous lines of treatment; 56.3% were refractory ( & lt;PR) to the last regimen, whereas 43.7% had relapsed disease after a previous CR. Eleven (17.2%) patients had received a previous ASCT. IPI at study entry was 0-1, 2-3, and 4-5 in 9.4%, 67.2%, and 20.3% of patients, respectively (missing data in 2 patients). Of the 64 patients who started study treatment, 44 and 35 patients, respectively, were evaluated for response after 4th cycle and at the end of induction. Twenty-four (37%) patients started maintenance with ibrutinib, 7 of whom continue or have completed it. Causes of withdrawal from the trial (n=57) were progression (n=40), adverse event (n=6), transplantation (n=5), withdrawal of consent (n=3) and other causes (n=3). ORR and CR rate after 4th cycle were 53.2% and 35.9%, respectively. Patients with relapsed disease had significantly higher ORR (67.9% vs 41.7%, p=0.037) and CR rate (57.1% vs 19.4%, p=0.002) than patients with refractory disease. At the end of induction, ORR and CR rate were 35.9% and 29.7%, respectively. After a median follow-up of 22 months (range: 1 to 39 months), the estimated 2-year PFS and OS were 21% and 25%, respectively (Figure 1A and 1B), being significantly better in patients with relapsed disease (Figure 1C and 1D). In the multivariate analysis, status of lymphoma at study entry significantly influenced PFS (HR 0.45; 95% CI 0.25-0.82; p=0.009) and OS (HR 0.51; 95% CI 0.27-0.94; p=0.0031) independently from the IPI and the number of previous treatment lines. The most frequent adverse events (AE) (present in at least 20% of patients) were thrombocytopenia (67.2%), diarrhea (51.6%), neutropenia (46.9%), anemia (37.5%), fatigue (34.4%), nausea (29.7%) and paresthesia (20.3%). The most frequent grade 3-5 AE (present in at least 10% of patients) were thrombocytopenia (46.9%), neutropenia (35.9%), diarrhea (15.6%) and anemia (14.1%). Three patients presented a grade 5 AE, two of them related (aspergillosis and pneumonia, respectively) and one unrelated (heart failure). CONCLUSIONS The combination of ibrutinib with R-GEMOX-D as salvage therapy for patients with non-GCB DLBCL is associated with high response rates, especially in relapsed patients. The vast majority of refractory patients progress very early, so this regimen could be considered as a bridge to other consolidation therapies. Biological studies analyzing cell of origin by gene expression profiling, minimal residual disease and mutational spectrum are in progress.

Abstract: BACKGROUND The combination of pomalidomide (POM) and dexamethasone (DEX) for the treatment (Tx) of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in patients (pts) who have received ≥ 2 prior Tx regimens, including lenalidomide (LEN) and bortezomib (BORT), was approved in Europe in August 2013. POM-DEX is now a standard Tx for pts with RRMM. These pts are at an increased risk for adverse events (AEs) due to prior exposure to multiple lines of Tx and a high disease burden. The European Union post-authorization safety study (EU PASS; NCT02164955) is a prospective, observational, non-interventional study (method: registry) designed to characterize the safety profile of POM-based Tx in pts with RRMM in a real-world setting. AIM To report the incidence of key AEs with POM-based Tx, such as neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, venous thromboembolism (VTE), peripheral neuropathy (PN), and second primary malignancies (SPMs), in pts with RRMM treated with POM according to the last prior Tx before starting POM Tx in a post-marketing setting. METHODS Pts with symptomatic RRMM initiating POM-based Tx were enrolled at the investigator's discretion. Thromboprophylaxis was administered per local standard practice. AEs were graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (v4.0). The study is ongoing and open for recruitment in centers across Europe. This analysis focused on the safety profile according to the last prior Tx received before starting POM Tx. RESULTS As of July 12, 2018, 596 pts across 100 institutions in 8 European countries were included in the safety population. At the time of data cutoff, Tx was ongoing in 122 pts (20.5%). Median age was 70 yrs (range, 37-92 yrs), with 28.4% of pts aged 〈 65 yrs, 38.4% between age 65 and 75 yrs, and 33.2% aged ≥ 75 yrs; 54.2% were male. Median time from diagnosis was 4.8 yrs (range, 0.3-26.9 yrs). Median number of prior Txs was 3; 72.1% of pts had ≥ 3 prior lines. Most pts received prior LEN (99.2%) and BORT (99.0%). In 343 pts assessed for Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (PS), 277 had a PS of 0 or 1 at baseline. Among 595 pts whose prior Tx was entered into the database at the time of data cutoff, the last prior Tx before starting POM was LEN in 340 pts (57.1%), BORT in 134 pts (22.5%), a combination of LEN and BORT in 16 pts (2.7%), and any other drug in 105 pts (17.6%). Tx duration of POM was slightly longer in pts treated with prior BORT than in those treated with prior LEN, with a median Tx duration of 18.7 wks (range, 0.9-150.0 wks) in the LEN group vs 23.7 wks (range, 0.1-148.0 wks) in the BORT group. Across all subgroups, hematologic AEs and infections represented most of all AEs (Table). CONCLUSIONS This ongoing, prospective, non-interventional study in pts with RRMM continues to demonstrate that POM-based Tx is generally well tolerated in the real-world setting and that the safety profile is not impacted by the Tx administered immediately before starting a POM-based Tx. Of all pts included in this trial, more pts were treated with LEN immediately before starting POM than any other drug. This analysis shows that AEs are almost similar in pts treated with LEN or BORT or both or any other drug immediately before starting POM Tx. In addition, the reported VTEs, PNs, and SPMs were generally low in all subgroups. Updated data will be presented at the meeting. Table. Table.

Abstract: Introduction: Genomic studies of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have uncovered & gt;80 potential driver mutations. The vast majority of these mutations affect coding regions, and just two potential drivers have been identified in non-coding elements. Aim: To describe the biological and clinical impact of a recurrent A & gt;C mutation at the third base of the small nuclear RNA U1, the non-coding component of the spliceosome involved in the recognition of the 5' splice site (5'SS). Methods: Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and RNA-seq from 318 CLL patients were used to identify and characterize a highly recurrent A & gt;C point mutation occurring at position 3 of the U1 snRNA gene (g.3A & gt;C mutation). The U1 wild-type and mutant forms were introduced into three CLL cell lines (JVM3, HG3, MEC1) to validate in vitro the predicted effect of this alteration. We screened two independent cohorts including a total of 1,314 CLL patients for the presence of the mutation using the rhAmp SNP genotyping assay, and integrated the U1 mutational status with well-known driver alterations, IGHV and epigenetic subgroups, and clinical parameters. Results: The U1 mutation was found in 8/78 (10.3%) CLL cases analyzed by WGS. Given its role in 5'SS recognition by base-pairing, we reasoned that this mutation was likely to alter the splicing and expression patterns of CLL. We were able to confirm widespread specific alterations in the transcriptome by comparing RNA-seq data between wild-type and g.3A & gt;C mutated samples. Applying this knowledge to an algorithm aimed to infer the U1 mutational status from expression data, we were able to identify 4 mutated cases among 240 additional cases that had RNA-seq but no WGS. In total, 12/318 (3.8%) CLL patients analyzed by WGS and/or RNA-seq harbored this mutation. This g.3A & gt;C U1 mutation changes the preferential A-U base-pairing between U1 and 5'SS to C-G base-pairing, creating novel splice junctions and altering the splicing pattern of 3,193 introns in 1,519 genes. In addition to altered splicing, 869 genes were differentially expressed between mutated and wild-type cases. We identified specific cancer genes (e.g. MSI2, POLD1, or CD44) and pathways (B-cell receptor signaling, promotion of apoptosis, telomere maintenance, among others) altered by the U1 mutation. To confirm a causal link between this mutation and splicing changes, we introduced exogenous U1 genes with or without the mutation into three cell lines. Subsequent RNA-seq of these cell lines recapitulated the altered splicing and expression patterns observed in CLL patients. We next screened for the presence of the U1 mutation 1,057 patients (cohort 1) using the rhAmp assay and it was found in 30 (2.8%) cases. The distribution of the mutation was similar in Binet stages and CLL vs monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis. However, the U1 mutation was almost always found in IGHV unmutated CLL (29/30, p=9.0e-11) and within the naïve-like CLL epigenetic subgroup (p=3.7e-7). None of the U1 mutated cases had mutations in the SF3B1 splicing factor. Considering only pre-treatment CLL samples, U1 mutation was associated with a shorter time to first treatment independently of the Binet stage, IGHV mutational status, epigenetic subgroups, and mutations in the well-known CLL drivers SF3B1, NOTCH1, ATMor TP53. In cohort 2 (n=257), this mutation was found in 13 (5.1%) patients, confirming its enrichment in IGHV unmutated cases, naïve-like epigenetic subgroup, and splicing modulation. Despite the relatively small number of pre-treatment samples carrying the U1 mutation (7/178) and short follow-up of the patients (median 2.6 years), the effect of this mutation on time to first treatment in cohort 2 was compatible with the one observed in cohort 1. Finally, we screened for the U1 mutation a cohort of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n=108), mantle cell lymphoma (n=101), follicular lymphoma (n=87), splenic marginal zone lymphoma (n=12), acute myeloid leukemia (n=52), and myelodysplastic syndrome (n=67). The mutation was not present in any of the samples analyzed. Conclusions: Here we have reported that the third base of the small nuclear RNA U1 is recurrently mutated in CLL, proved its effect in splicing and gene expression, and shown that this mutation is independently associated with faster disease progression. The g.3A & gt;C U1 mutation represents a novel non-coding driver alteration in CLL with potential clinical and therapeutic implications. Disclosures Ramirez Payer: GILEAD SCIENCES: Research Funding.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Real-world data can provide important information on the safety profile for recommended treatment options, but these data are collected infrequently. The ongoing post-authorization safety study (PASS) MM-034 (NCT03106324) is a prospective non-interventional study in patients (pts) with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) who are transplant ineligible. This study allows for the collection of robust safety data for currently recommended regimens for the management of these pts. Global guidelines recommend lenalidomide (LEN) regimens, such as LEN plus dexamethasone (DEX; Rd) and LEN plus bortezomib (BORT) plus DEX (Vd), and BORT regimens, including BORT plus melphalan plus prednisone (VMP). METHODS: Transplant-ineligible adult pts with NDMM initiating therapy in centers throughout Europe are being enrolled in the ongoing MM-034 trial. Pts receiving any first-line regimen are eligible, but the decision for which treatment regimen will be used must be made prior to study inclusion. The primary endpoint is the incidence of cardiovascular events. Secondary endpoints include the incidence of renal impairment, infections, and second primary malignancies. In this analysis, the safety profiles of Rd, Vd, and VMP were compared. RESULTS: As of April 12, 2019, 145 Rd, 53 Vd, and 83 VMP pts were enrolled in the study (evaluable cohort). At the time of data cutoff, treatment was ongoing in 64.8% of Rd pts, 41.5% of Vd pts, and 61.4% of VMP pts. Median age was 79 years in Rd pts and 75 years in both Vd and VMP pts. The proportion of pts with ISS stage III disease was higher in the Vd group (24.8% Rd vs 32.1% Vd vs 24.1% VMP), and more pts in the VMP group were male (49.7% Rd vs 58.5% Vd vs 65.1% VMP). Adverse events (AEs) of all grades confirmed the expected side effects. Any-grade neutropenia occurred in 7.6%, 11.3%, and 13.3% of Rd, Vd, and VMP pts, respectively, and thrombocytopenia occurred in 6.2%, 5.7%, and 12.0%, respectively. However, any-grade febrile neutropenia was seen only in the VMP group, at 2.4%, but not in the other 2 groups. Any-grade polyneuropathy was reported in 1.4% of Rd pts, but in 18.9% of Vd pts and 19.3% of VMP pts. Any-grade infections of all kinds occurred in 28.3% of Rd pts, 41.5% of Vd pts, and 20.5% of VMP pts, with pneumonia in 3.4%, 11.3%, and 2.4% of Rd, Vd, and VMP pts, respectively. Any-grade thrombosis was reported in 4.8% of Rd pts and 3.8% of Vd pts and in no VMP pts. Grade 3/4 AEs occurred in 42.8% of Rd pts, 52.8% of Vd pts, and 43.4% of VMP pts. Grade 3/4 neutropenia was reported in 4.8%, 9.4%, and 8.4% of Rd, Vd, and VMP pts, respectively, and thrombocytopenia in 2.8%, 0%, and 8.4%, respectively. Grade 3/4 infections were lower in Rd pts (6.9% vs 24.5% Vd and 12.0% VMP); pneumonia, the most important of these, was reported in 0.7%, 5.7%, and 2.4% of Rd, Vd, and VMP pts, respectively. Grade 3/4 peripheral neuropathy was not seen in the Rd group; however, it was reported in 3.8% of Vd pts and 2.4% of VMP pts. Grade 3/4 venous thrombosis was reported in only 0.7% of Rd pts, with no events reported in the Vd and VMP groups. CONCLUSIONS: The results from this analysis, along with those from a previous analysis of cardiovascular events in the LEN-treated and non-LEN treated cohorts of pts from the European PASS MM-034 study (De Stefano, EHA 2019), provide real-world evidence for the safety profile of Rd as first-line therapy and support the role of Rd in the treatment of pts with NDMM who are transplant ineligible.
