ABSTRACT

Aim. To study the efficacy and adverse event spectrum of high-dose chemotherapy with subsequent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients with acute renal impairment, including hemodialysis (HD) dependence.

Materials & Methods. The retrospective single-center study enrolled 64 MM patients (30 men and 34 women) with renal impairment, aged 19–65 years (median 54 years), who received auto-HSCT in the period from 2013 to 2019. Newly diagnosed patients had a median creatinine of 462 µmol/L and a median glomerular filtration rate of 10 ml/min/1,73 m2 (CKD-EPI). HD dependence was reported in 23 (36 %) patients on diagnosis date. As a result of the induction therapy, in 13 (57 %) out of 23 patients HD could be discontinued. Prior to auto-HSCT, overall antitumor response was 91 % (complete remission was 45 %), overall renal response was 80 % (complete renal response was 28 %). In the course of auto-HSCT 10 patients remained HD dependent. Two groups were analyzed: “HD–” (program HD-independent patients during auto-HSCT, n = 54) and “HD+” (program HD-dependent recipients of auto-HSCT, n = 10).

Results. Herpes virus infection reactivation and reversible toxic encephalopathy were observed significantly more often in “HD+” than in “HD–” group (30 % vs. 6 %, = 0.04 and 20 % vs. 0 %, = 0.02, respectively). HD-dependent patients required red blood cell transfusion significantly more often than HD-independent patients (100 % vs. 35 % of cases; = 0.0001). In 100 days after auto-HSCT, overall antitumor response increased from 91 % to 96 %, the rate of complete remission increased from 45 % to 64 %. After auto-HSCT the rate of complete renal response increased from 28 % to 34 %, however, overall renal response remained within the range of 80 %. After auto-HSCT, in a single case HD was discontinued. As a result of the treatment, 14 (61 %) patients became HD-independent. Transplantation-associated mortality was not reported. During median follow-up of 48 months, 5-year overall survival was 70 % and 5-year disease-free survival was 42 %.

Conclusion. Auto-HSCT is a feasible, safe, and effective treatment of MM patients with acute renal impairment. Induction therapy with subsequent auto-HSCT resulted in less need for HD which was 36 % at MM onset and 14 % on completing the treatment.

Keywords: multiple myeloma, auto-HSCT, hemodialysis, acute renal impairment, cast nephropathy.

ABSTRACT

Background. Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare lymphoproliferative disease which is almost exclusively associated with immunodeficiency. Most ample experience of chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cells transplantation (HSCT) in this lymphoma variant has been accumulated in HIV-positive patients.

Aim. To describe the current approaches to PBL diagnosis and treatment in HIV-positive patients as well as to provide the results of the first multi-center retrospective study on PBL epidemiology and therapy efficacy in HIV-positive patients in the Russian Federation.

Materials & Methods. The study included 26 HIV-positive patients with PBL who were treated and followed-up at 5 Russian centers during 2012–2019. The present study is a part of multi-center retrospective study on lymphoma epidemiology in HIV-positive patients in Russia.

Results. PBL accounted for 9.5 % of all lymphomas in HIV-positive patients enrolled in multi-center retrospective study on lymphoma epidemiology in HIV-positive patients in Russia. Epidemiological characteristics of these patients corresponded to those described in previously published literature: the disease being diagnosed mainly at late stages (88 %), oral and nasal mucosa lesions with a common involvement of facial bones (65 %), and lack of optimal HIV-infection control (66.7 %). Most commonly, the patients received EPOCH-like treatment as first-line therapy (50 %). However, the efficacy of primary therapy appeared to be low. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) during a year after first-line therapy onset was 57 % and 46 %, respectively. Bortezomib included in first-line therapy was associated with a trend to a more favorable prognosis. Half of patients showed a lymphoma relapse or progression after first-line therapy. Most used second-line regimen was DHAP. Overall response to second-line therapy was 38.5 %. After second-line therapy onset, 1-year OS and PFS were 26 % and 15 %, respectively.

Conclusion. HIV-positive patients with PBL have poor prognosis. Efforts to improve the prognosis for HIV-positive patients with PBL should be aimed at increasing the efficacy of first-line therapy and should involve the use of intensive chemotherapy regimens with bortezomib. The role of auto- and allo-HSCTs in the treatment of PBL has not been clearly determined, however, PBL patients, despite their HIV-infection, should be regarded as auto-HSCT-eligible in the first remission and allo-HSCT-eligible in case of relapse. Further prospective multi-center studies are needed to optimize the treatment of HIV-positive patients with PBL.

ABSTRACT

Aim. To analyze the efficacy and toxicity of different high-dose chemotherapy protocols for the purpose of determining the optimal conditioning regimen with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT).

Materials & Methods. The present review provides the analysis of some comparative retrospective studies. The evidence-based analysis proceeded in two stages consisting of a search and then primary processing of available literature. The PubMed database was searched for publications for the period 2004–2020.

Results. In relapsed and refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas as well as in Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the literature analysis demonstrated satisfactory efficacy of carmustine as part of BEAM conditioning. With the use of the BEAM conditioning regimen with subsequent auto-HSCT, up to 50 % of complete remissions were achieved in patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas and up to 70 % in patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Comparative studies show that despite concerns about severe toxicity, the use of carmustine was not associated with an increase in the incidence of adverse events. Lung and liver toxicity proved to be comparable with that of being observed while using alternative programs of high-dose chemotherapy and corresponded to 9 % and 6 % on LEAM and BEAM regimens, respectively. Besides, carmustine feasibility in primary diffuse large B-cell CNS lymphoma was considered and analyzed in the context of the lack of thiotepa.

Conclusion. High efficacy of carmustine as part of BEAM conditioning with subsequent auto-HSCT was proved in extremely unfavorable patients with relapsed and refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas and Hodgkin’s lymphoma with an acceptable toxicity profile. The study of carmustine in the therapy of primary CNS lymphoma seems to be аn important area of clinical studies aimed at developing rational treatment options.

Keywords: carmustine, non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, auto-HSCT, lomustine, thiotepa, primary diffuse large B-cell CNS lymphoma.

Aim. To assess prognostic factors and to analyze the outcomes of nivolumab therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory classic Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL) after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT).

Materials & Methods. The retrospective analysis included 42 patients treated with nivolumab 3 mg/kg after auto-HSCT in the period from 2016 to 2020. The response to nivolumab therapy was assessed every three months by whole-body PET/CT based on LYRIC criteria. Toxicity profile was assessed by establishing adverse events (AE) based on NCI CTCAE 4.03 criteria.

Results. The study included 42 patients with relapsed/refractory cHL: 21 (50 %) men and 21 (50 %) women. The median age was 32.5 years (range 22–43 years). At diagnosis the following cHL stages were identified: stage II in 14 pts (33.3 %), stage III in 12 pts (28.6 %), and stage IV in 16 pts (38.1 %). Primary chemoresistance after the first-line therapy was observed in 26 pts (61.9 %) and early relapse in 4 pts (9.52 %). The median follow-up was 38 months, 3-year overall survival was 97 % (95% confidence interval, 95% CI, 83.2–99.6 %), 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 34.8 % (95% CI 20.3–49.9 %; median 12.9 months). Objective response was reported in 69 % of patients, complete response (CR) in 33.3 %, partial response in 35.7 %, stable disease in 7.1 %, indeterminate response in 14.3 %, and progression in 9.5 % of patients. The analysis of factors affecting PFS revealed significant differences in patients who reached CR after 6 nivolumab cycles: 3-year PFS 56.2 % (95% CI 24.4–79.1 %) vs. 25.2 % (95% CI 10.46–43.1 %) in patients who did not reach CR (= 0.054). If extranodal lesions were identified at nivolumab therapy onset, PFS was 29 % (95% CI 7.8–37.5 %) vs. 68 % (95% CI 35.9–86.8 %) in their absence (= 0.0079). The overall rate of AEs on nivolumab therapy was 92.9 %, severe AEs of grade 3–4 were observed in 19.1 % of patients.

Conclusion. Nivolumab shows high efficacy in the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory cHL after the failure of auto-HSCT and considerably improves prognosis compared with historical control. The efficacy of nivolumab is independent of brentuximab vedotin use and duration of prior therapy. Throughout the follow-up period the toxicity level of nivolumab was acceptable and controlled. Clinical factors that affect prognosis for patients on immunotherapy were identified.

ABSTRACT

Aim. To establish correlation between CD34+ autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) count and colony-forming units (CFU) in the same peripheral blood apheresis product samples before and after cryopreservation in multiple myeloma and lymphoma patients, and to assess clinical value of these parameters.

Materials & Methods. Cell samples of peripheral blood cytapheresis product and cell cultures were studied before and after cryopreservation in 32 multiple myeloma and 25 lymphoma patients who underwent autologous HSC transplantation. The material was analyzed using culture technique and flow cytometry.

Results. The paper provides information on the relationship between CD34+ HSC count obtained by flow cytometry, and CFU in cell culture obtained by cytapheresis of the same peripheral blood samples. A direct correlation was confirmed between CD34+ count and all the CFUs before and after cryopreservation in lymphoma patients. Correlation between CD34+ count and granulocyte-macrophage CFUs was revealed in multiple myeloma and lymphoma patients before cryopreservation.

Conclusion. The parameter of colony-forming capacity used for the assessment of the functional HSC was shown to be equally reliable criterion for condition evaluation of autotransplant proliferative pool than CD34+ cells. Both methods should be applied for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of an autotransplant for multiple myeloma and lymphoma patients.

ABSTRACT

Background. A prompt graft acceptance is essential for positive autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) outcome in multiple myeloma patients (MM). Prompt and favourable hematopoietic regeneration is associated with CD34+ cell count in a transplant. Although the indicators of low autotransplant cellularity have been defined, the practical application of new drug products and HSC mobilization regimens strengthens the relevance of determining their influence on the transplant quality.

Aim. To determine the factors that are associated with low efficacy of auto-HSCT in MM patients and to evaluate the impact of lenalidomide during induction period and of vinorelbine as a mobilization regimen on the prognosis.

The authors performed a retrospective analysis of autotransplant collection results in 68 MM patients treated with two mobilization regimens: 3 g/m2 cyclophosphamide with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and 30 mg/m2 vinorelbine with G-CSF. Mobilization was aimed at collecting not less than 2–4 × 106 CD34+ cells per kg body mass. CD34+ cell count was determined by four-color analysis on the Cytomics FC 500 laser flow cytometer.

Results. The analysis showed that age or MM immunochemical specificity were not associated with CD34+ cell count in the transplant. Prior lenalidomide treatment compared to therapy without immunomodulators (4.1 × 106/kg vs. 7.76 × 106/kg) tends to decrease CD34+ count (р = 0.066). Cyclophosphamide included into mobilization regimen compared to vinorelbine (3.96 × 106/kg vs. 6.8 × 106/kg) significantly increased CD34+ cell count (р = 0.022).

Conclusion. The decrease of CD34+ cell count in the autotransplant of the MM patients treated with lenalidomide prior to auto-HSC collection, and a lower mobilization activity of vinorelbine provide a basis for a differentiated selection of mobilization regimens. Vinorelbine may be administered to patients with a single auto-HSCT, i.e. elderly people and patients with complete response. In case of substantial lenalidomide treatment prior to auto-HSCT, intermediate-dose cyclophosphamide is preferred.

Keywords: auto-HSCT, multiple myeloma, mobilization regimen, cyclophosphamide, vinorelbine, lenalidomide, predictors.

ABSTRACT

Aim. To assess prognostic value of surrogate clinical and laboratory markers in current therapy of multiple myeloma (MM).

Materials & Methods. The analysis included 567 patients (215 men and 352 women), the Kirov region inhabitants with newly diagnosed MM over the period from January 1, 1994 to December 31, 2016. The median age was 64 years (range 29–90). Patients were divided into two groups: the first group received treatment from 1994 to 2005 (n = 269), the second group received treatment from 2006 to 2016 (n = 298). Impact of factors on overall survival (OS) was evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis using the Cox method.

Results. Over the period from 2006 to 2016 the number of patients treated with traditional chemotherapy decreased from 78.4 to 32.5 %. At the same time the number of patients treated with bortezomib-based regimens increased from 1.9 to 56.3 % and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) protocols — from 1.4 to 14.0 %. Median OS over the period from 1994 to 2005 was 27 months. It increased to 55 months in the period of 2006–2016. In the reference decades 5-year overall survival increased from 21 % (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 17–27 %) to 47 % (95% CI 39–55 %), respectively (hazard ratio [HR] 0.51; 95% CI 0.41–0.64; < 0,0001). In patients treated with bortezomib-based regimens over the period from 2006 to 2016 median OS increased to 73 months compared to 27 months in 1994–2005. In patients aged ≤ 65 years and treated with auto-HSCT median OS was not reached, and median OS in patients without auto-HSCT treatment was 54 months.

Conclusions. Surrogate prognostic markers, such as the age over 65, hemoglobin level < 100 g/L, β2-microglobulin ≥ 6 mg/L, serum creatinine ≥ 177 µmol/L and stage III according to ISS and Durie-Salmon, are unfavourable predictors of survival of MM patients.

Keywords: multiple myeloma, prognosis, bortezomib, auto-HSCT, overall survival.

ABSTRACT

Aim. To perform a comparative analysis of the prognostic significance of positron-emission tomography (PET) with other prognostic factors of the efficacy of high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Methods. Data on 84 patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma receiving treatment over the period from October 2007 till November 2015 were analyzed. The median age was 26.6 years (range: 10–62). The median follow-up was 25 months (range: 1–81 months). The prognostic significance of sex, response to the initial chemotherapy, time to relapse, second-line chemotherapy regimen type, B-symptoms, tumor size (>5 cm in cases of relapse prior to the HDCT), serum LDH and albumin levels, CT findings, the number of chemotherapy lines, conditioning regimen before the auto-HSCT, and the metabolic activity before the HDCT (PET1, n = 82) and after auto-HSCT (PET2, n = 57) was analyzed.

Results. The two-year overall (OS) and event-free (EFS) survival rates were 70.6 % and 58.7%, respectively. Prognosis was the worst in patients with CT-confirmed lymphoma progression by the initiation of HDCT. In the presence of a CT-response, the PET status of lymphoma has a prognostic significance. The 2-year OS and EFS rates of PET1-negative and PET1-positive patients were 82 % vs. 62 % (= 0.056) and 74 % vs. 44 % (= 0.003), respectively. In PET2-negative and PET2-positive patients, the OS and EFS rates were 90 % vs. 65 % (= 0.013) and 72 % vs. 52 % (= 0.014), respectively. From the prognostic point of view, PET2 findings prevailed over PET1 findings. The multivariate analysis confirmed only PET2 significance for OS prediction.

Conclusion. The tumor sensitivity to the chemotherapy assessed by the CT is the most important prognostic factor. In case of a positive CT dynamics, the achievement of PET1 or PET2 negativity before or after HDCT/auto-HSCT is a favorable prognostic factor. The worst prognosis was observed in patients with tumor metabolic activity before or after HDCT/auto-HSCT.

ABSTRACT

Aim. To perform a comparative analysis of the prognostic significance of positron-emission tomography (PET) with other prognostic factors of the efficacy of high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Methods. Data on 84 patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma receiving treatment over the period from October 2007 till November 2015 were analyzed. The median age was 26.6 years (range: 10–62). The median follow-up was 25 months (range: 1–81 months). The prognostic significance of sex, response to the initial chemotherapy, time to relapse, second-line chemotherapy regimen type, B-symptoms, tumor size (>5 cm in cases of relapse prior to the HDCT), serum LDH and albumin levels, CT findings, the number of chemotherapy lines, conditioning regimen before the auto-HSCT, and the metabolic activity before the HDCT (PET1, n = 82) and after auto-HSCT (PET2, n = 57) was analyzed.

Results. The two-year overall (OS) and event-free (EFS) survival rates were 70.6 % and 58.7%, respectively. Prognosis was the worst in patients with CT-confirmed lymphoma progression by the initiation of HDCT. In the presence of a CT-response, the PET status of lymphoma has a prognostic significance. The 2-year OS and EFS rates of PET1-negative and PET1-positive patients were 82 % vs. 62 % (= 0.056) and 74 % vs. 44 % (= 0.003), respectively. In PET2-negative and PET2-positive patients, the OS and EFS rates were 90 % vs. 65 % (= 0.013) and 72 % vs. 52 % (= 0.014), respectively. From the prognostic point of view, PET2 findings prevailed over PET1 findings. The multivariate analysis confirmed only PET2 significance for OS prediction.

Conclusion. The tumor sensitivity to the chemotherapy assessed by the CT is the most important prognostic factor. In case of a positive CT dynamics, the achievement of PET1 or PET2 negativity before or after HDCT/auto-HSCT is a favorable prognostic factor. The worst prognosis was observed in patients with tumor metabolic activity before or after HDCT/auto-HSCT.

Keywords: positron-emission tomography (PET), Hodgkin’s lymphoma, high-dose chemotherapy, auto-HSCT.

ABSTRACT

Background & Aims. Most children with Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) can be cured irrespective of the disease stage using modern risk adapted protocols. But 3–5 % of children develop relapse of the disease or refractoriness to the treatment performed. The aim of the study was to perform a comparative analysis of ViGePP vs ICE antitumor treatment regimens in patients with relapsed and refractory Hodgkin’s lymphoma, as well as to evaluate the need in auto-HSCT and the site for a combined chemoradiation therapy in this patient population.

Methods. From June, 2003, till December, 2014, 35 patients with relapsed (18) and refractory (17) HL received chemotherapy based on two regimes: ICE (n = 14; 40 %) and ViGePP (n = 14; 40 %). 7 (20 %) children were switched to another regimen due to a poor antitumor response to the first two courses of chemotherapy.

Results. The direct effectiveness of the therapy was significantly higher in patients on ViGePP as compared to ICE irrespective of the disease status (relapsed or refractory). A complete response was achieved more often in those children with relapse HL whose initial treatment included radiation therapy. Higher survival rates were registered in girls, as well as in children with a complete overall response to the antirelapse therapy. In case of relapses, delayed treatment effects (disease free survival and overall survival) were higher in children treated with 4 courses of ViGePP than 2 courses of ICE. High-dose chemotherapy with subsequent auto-HSCT is not able to overcome refractoriness to the chemotherapy.

Conclusion. Children with relapsed and refractory HL need an intensive antirelapse chemotherapy with subsequent HDC and auto-HSCT to achieve CR.
