Abstract

Abstract: PB2478

Background
High dose chemotherapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (autoHSCT) in combination with targeted medications is widely used in prognostically unfavorable variants of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) treatment.

Aims

To estimate the results of autoHSCT in patients with NHL with unfavorable course.

Methods

48 autoHSCT to 42 NHL patients (18 – female, 25 – male, age 22-69 years, median 37,5 years) were performed from 1999 till February 2018. Of them: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DBCL) in PR1/CR2 – 21 patient, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) in PR 1/2 – 8, follicular lymphoma (FL) 3B type in CR2 – 4 patients, rimary mediastinal lymphoma – 6 patients,peripheral T-cell lymphoma – 5 patients.

Patients were treated with more, than 2 lines of chemotherapy. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) were harvested after the second line therapy with G-CSF stimulation.

Six patients received 2 autoHSCTs (DBCL 4B in PR1 – 4, FL type 3 in PR2 FLIPI2 -1, primary mediastinal lymphoma – 1).

Conditioning regimen BendaEAM was used in 39% of cases, BEAM - in 37,25%, CVB - in 10%, ICE - in 13,75% (plus rituximab in 69,6% autoHSCTs). Transplant – cryopreserved HSCs, counting (2-21)х106/kg body weight CD34+ cells, (2,8-5,1)х108/kg myelokaryocytes. Leukocyte recovery more, than 1х109/l was achieved on 14 day, platelet count more, than 30х109/l – on day 17. Most of patients with B-cell lymphomas received 2 year rituximab maintenance therapy after autoHSCT.

Results

At time point February 2018 29 patients were alive, 10 died due to lymphoma progression, 3 – because of infection complications. Transplant failure was revealed in 5,4% of patients, 100 days mortality was 5.4%. Overall 3-year survival (OS) was 73%, 5 – year survival – 67%, 10– year survival – 58%. Overall survival median was 12,7 years.

Relapse free 3 – year survival (RFS) was 73%. Median relapse free survival was 98 months. DBCL patients had 3 – year OS 75%, 5 – year OS – 70%, 10-year OS – 63% and median OS 12,7 years. MCL patients had 3-year OS of 75%, 5 year OS – 75%, median OS was not achieved. All patients, who received repeated autoHSCT are alive, in PET-negative CR with surveillance median of 40 months.

The most common complications in post-transplant period were 1-2 grade mucositis – 81% of patients.  Septic complications were revealed in 8.1% of cases, pulmonary aspergilosis – in 4%. Frequency of infections did not increase after repeated autoHSCT, engraftment occurred at usual time point.

Conclusion

AutoHSCT method is an effective therapeutic option  for patients with high risk NHL.
