ABSTRACT

Aim. To assess the rate of cases without antitumor response quality improvement after high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in multiple myeloma (MM). To assess the rate of allelic variants of IL1B, IL6, IL10, TNF genes and the status of hematopoietic niche cells as potential predictors of auto-HSCT efficacy.

Materials & Methods. A retrospective analysis was based on the data of 84 MM patients who received 112 auto-HSCTs, including 84 first and 28 repeated courses. Response variants were estimated according to IWG criteria. Molecular profiling of IL1B, IL6, IL10, and TNF genes was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with subsequent analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism of PCR products. To analyze the status of hematopoietic niche cells histological, immunohistochemical, and morphometric methods were applied.

Results. The first auto-HSCT yielded response quality improvement in 29 (54.7 %) out of 84 patients. The rate of complete response was significantly higher in patients who showed very good partial response before HDCT with auto-HSCT, than in patients with partial response (PR), i.e., 57.9 % and 18.2 %, respectively (р = 0.005). No differences were identified in the groups of patients with other clinical and hematological parameters. After the second auto-HSCT in 4 out of 6 patients with PR the response variant did not change. A significant decrease of MM activity was associated with IL6 (–174С) mutant allele carrier status of 81.3 % vs. 41.6 % in the group with the unchanged response variant (р = 0.05). Response quality improvement was also related to a large number of cells on the endosteum in histological specimens of bone marrow (р = 0.038).

Conclusion. The carrier status of IL6 (–174С) pathologic allele as well as the number of cells on the endosteum in histological specimens of bone marrow can be regarded as predictors of response quality improvement or lack thereof in MM patients after auto-HSCT.

ABSTRACT

Background. Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) is an indispensable treatment stage in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) who are, based on age and health status, eligible for high-dose chemotherapy with subsequent auto-HSCT. However, the issue of double (tandem) auto-HSCT feasibility remains unresolved.

Aim. To compare overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in MM patients after single and double (tandem) auto-HSCTs in clinical practice.

Materials & Methods. Retrospective analysis enrolled 83 MM patients divided into two groups: with single (n = 41) and double (n = 42) auto-HSCTs. Median age in groups 1 and 2 was 58 years (range 42–68) and 54 years (range 40–65), respectively. In these groups there were 16 (39 %) and 11 (26.2 %) patients ≥ 60 years old. The reference point of survival curve was the date of first (in group 1) and 2nd (in group 2) auto-HSCTs. In PFS assessment, completed event was the date of disease progression or relapse detection, including the biochemical one in case of specific therapy onset.

Results. Total number of patients with ≥ very good partial response before receiving auto-HSCT in group 1 was 23 (56.1 %), and in group 2 before receiving 2nd auto-HSCT it was 30 (71.4 %). Mel200 conditioning was administered to 53.7 % of patients in group 1. In group 2 this conditioning regimen was a priority in performing first auto-HSCT (83.3 % of patients) and was more rarely used in case of repeated transplantation (40.5 %). With median follow-up of 11 and 40.5 months in groups 1 and 2 no significant differences were identified either in median PFS (21 and 40 months; р = 0.154) or in median OS (not reached in both groups; = 0.882). No differences between groups with respect to the time before relapse/progression or early relapse rate were observed.

Conclusion. Repeated auto-HSCT showed no additional antitumor effect. It can be accounted for by the lack of data on chromosome aberrations at the disease onset in most patients and by a small number of patients in the groups. Nevertheless, it was decided to limit the number of tandem auto-HSCTs and to perform 2nd transplantation mostly in case of late relapse/progression. New studies were initiated which will focus on the search of predictors associated with survival improvement in MM patients while performing double (tandem) auto-HSCTs.

Keywords: multiple myeloma, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, single auto-HSCT, double (tandem) auto-HSCTs, survival.

ABSTRACT

Background. There exist different data on how the administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) affects the duration of post-transplantation agranulocytosis in multiple myeloma (MM) patients.

Aim. To study the effect of G-CSF, administered after auto-HSCT to MM patients, on the duration of neutrophil engraftment, febrile neutropenia rate, and hospitalization duration.

Materials & Methods. The trial included 36 MM patients aged 42–69 years (median 59 years), 16 of which were not treated with G-CSF (1st group), and 20 patients received a single injection of 6 mg pegylated G-CSF on Day +4 or Day +5 (2nd group).

Results. Patients of the 1st group were significantly younger than patients of the 2nd group: median 55.5 and 61 years, respectively (= 0.006). There were no differences with respect to the number of patients who previously received lenalidomide, the overall and very good partial response rate, the number of the first and repeated auto-HSCTs, and the number of melphalan conditioning regimens. The patients who received G-CSF engrafted neutrophils on day 11 (median) after auto-HSCT, i.e. earlier than patients without G-CSF administration who engrafted neutrophils on day 13 (= 0.006). In the 1st group intravenous antibiotics were administered for a longer time than in the group with G-CSF: median 13 and 11 days, respectively (= 0.04). In 2 patients from the group without G-CSF sepsis was diagnosed. G-CSF administration led to a shorter hospital stay: median 16 and 18 days in the 1st and 2nd groups, respectively (= 0.08). There were no differences in the number of patients with febrile neutropenia.

Conclusion. G-CSF administration improves the course of the post-transplantation period in MM patients. The final decision on the feasibility of G-CSF administration after auto-HSCT can be made after more clinical observations are available.

Keywords: multiple myeloma, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor.

ABSTRACT

Aim. To assess the safety and efficacy of BeEAC as a conditioning regimen prior to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in relapsed and primary resistant lymphomas (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03315520).

Materials & Methods. The trial included 113 patients with Hodgkin’s (HL) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHL). The patients were included into the protocol during the period from February 2016 to June 2018. Median follow-up was 26 months. Among the patients there were 58 men and 55 women. Median age was 33 years (range 18–65 years). In 72 patients HL and in 41 patients NHL (in 15 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, in 8 primary mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma, in 10 mantle cell lymphoma, in 4 peripheral T-cell lymphoma unspecified, and in 4 patients follicular lymphoma) were diagnosed. BeEAC conditioning regimen consisted of administering 160–200 mg/m2 bendamustine in increasing doses on Day –6 and Day –5 combined with fixed doses of 200 mg/m2 cytarabine every 12 hours, 200 mg/m2 etoposide, and 140 mg/kg cyclophosphamide from Day –4 to Day –1.

Results. In phase 1, when bendamustine dose was increased from 160 mg/m2 to 200 mg/m2, no dose-limiting toxicity was observed. Afterwards patients received 200 mg/m2 of bendamustine. The assessment of tumor status in 2–3 months after auto-HSCT showed that complete remission was achieved in 62.9 % (n = 71) of patients, partial remission in 16.8 % (n = 19) of patients, stabilization in 0.9 % (n = 1) of patients and progression in 15 % (n = 17) of patients. In 5 patients the treatment effect was not assessed. Early post-transplant mortality (up to Day +30) was 3.6 % (n = 4) and overall mortality within the follow-up period (median 26 months) was 23 % (n = 26). Overall survival in the whole cohort of patients for 12, 18, 24, and 36 months was 88 %, 82 %, 78 %, and 64 %, respectively, and progression-free survival was 61 %, 57 %, 54 %, and 40 %, respectively.

Conclusion. BeEAC proved to be relatively safe when applied as a conditioning regimen prior to auto-HSCT in HL and NHL patients. Further data need to be collected to finally assess the efficacy of this regimen and to conduct a retrospective comparative analysis of it and other conditioning regimens in lymphomas.

ABSTRACT

Background. In multiple myeloma (MM) treatment a single autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) is preceded by conditioning regimens aimed at intensifying cytoreductive effect. In the course of ongoing search for combined conditioning regimens an attractive option proved to be thiotepa/melphalan combination.

Aim. Data analysis of a pilot study of the efficacy of conditioning regimens including administration of two alkylating agents (thiotepa and melphalan) with subsequent auto-HSCT.

Materials & Methods. 9 patients received 10 auto-HSCTs with conditioning regimen including administration of 250 mg/m2 of thiotepa on Day –5 and 140 mg/m2 of melphalan on Day –2. After auto-HSCT pegylated filgrastim was administered in 8 patients. Engraftment period was calculated on the basis of absolute neutrophil count ≥ 0,5 × 109/L and thrombocyte level ≥ 20 × 109/L. Regimen toxicity was assessed according to CTCAE v5.0. Survival rates were estimated by Kaplan-Meier curves.

Results. The use of thiotepa did not require administration of any additional drugs. The incidence of mucositis and enteropathy of grade 1–2 was 100 % and 70 %, respectively. Pyrexia was reported in 7 auto-HSCTs. Pneumonia occurred in 1 patient. The infusion of 1–3 doses of platelet concentrate (median of 2 doses) was required in all patients except for one. Donor erythrocytes were transfused to 3 patients. Engraftment was reported in all patients within the period of 10–14 days. Median hospitalization duration from Day 0 to hospital discharge was 16 patient-days. After auto-HSCT the quality of response improved in 6 out of 9 patients. MM progression was reported in one patient with complex karyotype. Further follow-up showed progression in 2 patients. By December 2018 median follow-up of 9 patients from the date of auto-HSCT was 9 months (range 3–20 months), median progression-free survival was 17 months, median overall survival was not reached.

Conclusion. Acceptable toxicity, improvement of response quality, and maintenance of it for up to 20 months allow to consider combined conditioning regimen Thio/Mel to be a possible alternative to the standard Mel200 regimen.

ABSTRACT

Background. The success of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) depends on the speed of transplant engraftment which in turn is affected by the count of harvested and infused hematopoietic stem cells (HSC).

Aim. To identify predictors of auto-HSCT efficacy in multiple myeloma (MM) patients under introduction of new drugs at the phase of HSC induction and mobilization.

Materials & Methods. The results of auto-transplant harvesting and engraftment were retrospectively analyzed in 75 MM patients during 112 auto-HSCTs. Auto-transplants were harvested using cyclophosphamide and vinorelbine combined with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) without plerixafor. Conditioning regimen included melphalan 200 mg/m2 or 140 mg/m2, and combination of tiothepa with melphalan. All patients received subcutaneous injections of G-CSF in post-transplantation period. Transplant engraftment was assessed according to absolute neutrophil count of ≥ 0.5 × 109/L, and thrombocyte count of ≥ 20 × 109/L.

Results. It is established that the predictors of a high CD34+ cell count in auto-transplant are a single previous induction regimen (p = 0.0315) and administration of cyclophosphamide in mobilization regimen (р = 0.0001). Transplant engraftment period is determined by auto-HSCT serial number and amount of infused CD34+ cells. Hematopoiesis regeneration after the second auto-HSCT was accelerated by more frequent use of Mel140 (р = 0.001).

Conclusion. Auto-transplant quality and engraftment period in MM patients primarily depend on the efficacy of induction therapy and the intensity of HSC mobilization regimen. Therefore, induction therapy and mobilization regimen need to be tailored to an individual patient, MM prognostic variant, probability of response to standard induction regimens, and the number of planned auto-HSCTs.

Keywords: multiple myeloma, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, auto-HSCT efficacy predictors, transplant, engraftment.

To estimate the long-term outcome of the programmed treatment of classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL) including high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) as well as the effect of various factors on the achieved results in a single-center study.

Materials & Methods. In the A.A. Maksimov Clinical Center of Hematology and Cellular Therapy of the NI Pirogov Russian National Medical Center of Surgery 260 cHL patients received HDCT combined with auto-HSCT within the period from December 2006 to March 2017. The median age was 29 years (range 17–62). The study included 40 % men (n = 104), and 60 % women (n = 156). The median pretransplantation chemotherapy line was 3 (range 2–9). At this stage, prior to auto-HSCT, complete remission (CR) rate was 26.5 %, partial remission (PR) rate was 52.3 %, disease stabilisation rate was 13.5 %. HDCT with auto-HSCT was applied beyond progression as a salvage therapy in 7.7 % of patients. In 79.6 % of patients the standard BEAM and CBV conditioning regimens were used.

Results. After HDCT combined with auto-HSCT overall 5-year survival (OS) of 260 cHL patients was 74 %, and 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 48 %, which corresponds to the results of some international studies. 5-year OS rates were significantly higher after HDCT and auto-HSCT performed during the first CR or PR (85 %) vs the second and subsequent CR and PR (71 %). Neither gender (= 0.4) nor ECOG status (= 0.2) effects on OS and PFS were revealed. 5-year OS rates were significantly higher after HDCT and auto-HSCT performed during CR or PR (82 %) vs disease stabilisation and progression (54 %) as well as upon achieving CR (93 %) vs PR (77 %).

Conclusion. In cHL tumor sensitivity to chemotherapy is the essential indication for HDCT combined with auto-HSCT. The optimal time for HDCT and auto-HSCT in cHL is the first CR/PR, and the best treatment outcome is achieved in patients with complete response prior to HDCT and auto-HSCT.

Keywords: classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma, high-dose chemotherapy, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

ABSTRACT

Background & Aims. The present retrospective single-center study analysed the impact of high-dose chemotherapy with melphalan with subsequent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) on survival in multiple myeloma (MM) in the era of new induction regimens.

Materials & Methods. The clinical trial included 133 MM patients aged from 31.2 to 78.2 years (the median age was 55.3 years). There were 66 female and 67 male patients. Bortezomib-based regimens as first-line treatment were administered in 133 MM patients, 74 of them received high-dose chemotherapy with melphalan and either single (n = 25), or double (n = 49) auto-HSCT as consolidation therapy in the period from 2006 to 2016.

Results. The overall 5-year survival (OS) rates were 86.5 % for the auto-HSCT treated group vs. 72.9 % for the non-auto-HSCT treated group (= 0.03); 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 64.9 vs. 39 % for the auto-HSCT and non-auto-HSCT treated groups, respectively (= 0.0016). MM relapse/progression occurred more frequently in the non-auto-HSCT treated patients (52.5 vs. 28.4 %; = 0.0016). In multivariate analysis the age above 60 was determined as prognostic factor of lower PFS and increase in relapse/progression rate (= 0.004 and = 0.04, respectively). The variant of monoclonal protein (Bence-Jones myeloma) was determined as prognostic factor of higher OS and decrease in relapse/progression rate (= 0.02 and = 0.04, respectively). Complete nonresponsiveness to induction therapy has proved to be an independent predictor of both poor OS and PFS (= 0.04 and = 0.041, respectively). 2-year bortezomib-based maintenance therapy following the auto-HSCT treatment resulted in a statistically significant improvement in 5-year PFS (67.4 vs. 60.7 %; = 0.03) and a decrease in relapse/progression frequency (26.1 vs. 32.1 %; = 0.05).

Conclusion. High-dose chemotherapy with melphalan with subsequent auto-HSCT is an effective MM treatment strategy, and a subsequent long-term maintenance therapy results in a PFS improvement and a decrease in relapse/progression frequency.

Keywords: multiple myeloma, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, maintenance therapy.
