Impact of event-free survival status after stem cell transplantation on subsequent survival of patients with lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: We evaluated the impact of event-free survival (EFS) status at 24 months (EFS24) and 60 months (EFS60) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using registry data. Patients who underwent their first autologous HSCT (auto-HSCT) or allogeneic HSCT (allo-HSCT) for lymphoma between 1981 and 2018 were included. Overall survival was compared with that of the age-, sex, and calendar period-matched general population. A total of 14 977 patients, including 10 964 and 4013 who underwent auto-HSCT and allo-HSCT, respectively, were analyzed. Although patients who achieved EFS24 and EFS60 had favorable outcomes, most had significantly poorer survival rates than the general population. The standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL) were significantly higher than that of the general population even after achieving EFS24 or EFS60. The SMRs of those after auto-HSCT were 2.5 to 3.5 and 2.7 to 3.7, respectively. The SMR was consistently highest in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients after HSCT. By contrast, subsequent survival of patients with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, intravascular large B-cell lymphoma, or peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified, who achieved EFS60 after auto-HSCT, and those with extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma who achieved EFS60 after allo-HSCT did not significantly differ from that of the general population, with SMRs of 1.6, 1.2, 1.8, and 1.3, respectively. Our results suggest that EFS24 and EFS60 were clinically useful end points after HSCT for lymphoma patients. Furthermore, patients with certain lymphoma subtypes who achieved EFS had a comparable prognosis with that of the general population and were potentially cured after HSCT.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) may be used to consolidate chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy-induced remissions for patients with relapsed/refractory B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), but little is known about the factors impacting overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) for post-CAR hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The present study's primary objective was to identify factors associated with OS and EFS for consolidative HSCT following CAR-induced complete remission (CR) in transplantation-naïve patients. Secondary objectives included evaluation of OS/EFS, relapse-free survival and cumulative incidence of relapse for all patients who proceeded to HSCT, stratified by first and second HSCT, as well as the tolerability of HSCT following CAR-induced remission. This was a retrospective review of children and young adults enrolled on 1 of 3 CAR T cell trials at the National Cancer Institute targeting CD19, CD22, and CD19/22 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifiers NCT01593696, NCT02315612, and NCT03448393) who proceeded directly to HSCT following CAR T cell therapy. Between July 2012 and February 2021, 46 children and young adults with pre-B ALL went directly to HSCT following CAR therapy. Of these patients, 34 (74%) proceeded to a first HSCT, with a median follow-up of 50.8 months. Transplantation-naïve patients were heavily pretreated prior to CAR T cell therapy (median, 3.5 lines of therapy; range, 1 to 12) with significant prior immunotherapy exposure (blinatumomab, inotuzumab, and/or CAR T cell therapy in patients receiving CD22 or CD19/22 constructs (88%; 15 of /17)). Twelve patients (35%) had primary refractory disease, and the median time from CAR T cell infusion to HSCT Day 0 was 54.5 days (range, 42 to 127 days). The median OS following first HSCT was 72.2 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 16.9 months to not estimable [NE]), with a median EFS of 36.9 months (95% CI, 5.2 months to NE). At 12 and 24 months, the OS was 76.0% (95% CI, 57.6% to 87.2%) and 60.7% (95% CI, 40.8% to 75.8%), respectively, and EFS was 64.6% (95% CI, 46.1% to 78.1%) and 50.9% (95% CI, 32.6% to 66.6%), respectively. The individual factors associated with both decreased OS and EFS in univariate analyses for post-CAR consolidative HSCT in transplantation-naïve patients included ≥5 prior lines of therapy (not reached [NR] versus 12.4 months, P = .014; NR versus 4.8 months, P = .063), prior blinatumomab therapy (NR versus 16.9 months, P = .0038; NR versus 4.4 months, P = .0025), prior inotuzumab therapy (NR versus 11.5 months, P = .044; 36.9 months versus 2.7 months, P = .0054) and ≥5% blasts (M2/M3 marrow) pre-CAR T cell therapy (NR versus 17 months, P = .019; NR versus 12.2 months, P = .035). Primary refractory disease was associated with improved OS/EFS post-HSCT (NR versus 21.9 months, P = .075; NR versus 12.2 months, P = .024). Extensive prior therapy, particularly immunotherapy, and high disease burden each individually adversely impacted OS/EFS following post-CAR T cell consolidative HSCT in transplantation-naïve patients, owing primarily to relapse. Despite this, HSCT remains an important treatment modality in long-term cure. Earlier implementation of HSCT before multiply relapsed disease and incorporation of post-HSCT risk mitigation strategies in patients identified to be at high-risk of post-HSCT relapse may improve outcomes.
