Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation after Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy in Large B Cell Lymphoma. Transplant Cell Ther 2023; 29:99-107.

Abstract
Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy has transformed the care of patients with relapsed/refractory large B cell lymphoma (LBCL). However, approximately 60% of CAR-T recipients ultimately will experience disease recurrence or progression. Salvage therapies after CAR-T treatment failures are of limited efficacy and have a short duration of response. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the role of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) after CAR-T therapy in LBCL patients. This was a multicenter observational study reporting the outcome of 39 adult LBCL patients who underwent allo-HCT following anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy. The median patient age was 47 years (range, 20 to 68 years). HLA-matched sibling, HLA-matched unrelated, and alternative donors were used in 36%, 36%, and 28% of transplantations, respectively. Conditioning regimens were primarily of low or intermediate intensity. Disease status at allo-HCT was complete response in 41%, partial response in 38%, and progressive disease in 21%. Allo-HCT was performed at a median of 127 days (range, 82 to 206 days) after CAR-T therapy. A high incidence of hepatic toxicity (28%), including sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (15.4%; 95% confidence interval; [CI], 6.2% to 28.5%), was observed. The 1-year cumulative incidence of grade II-IV and grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was 38.5% (95% CI, 23.2% to 53.6%) and 15.4% (95% CI, 6.1% to 28.5%), respectively. The 2-year cumulative incidence of moderate-severe chronic GVHD was 11.1% (95% CI, 3.3% to 24.3%). Overall, 2-year nonrelapse mortality and relapse/progression incidence were 26% (95% CI, 13% to 41%) and 43% (95% CI, 27% to 59%), respectively. With a median follow-up of 32 months, the 2-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 45% (95% CI, 31% to 66%) and 31% (95% CI, 19% to 50%), respectively. In multivariable analyses, pre-HCT elevated lactate dehydrogenase level and transformed lymphoma were predictive of OS and PFS, respectively. Our data suggest that allo-HCT after anti-CD19 CAR-T treatment failure is feasible with a relatively promising efficacy but possibly high toxicity rate.

Dexa-BEAM versus MIFAP as salvage regimen for recurrent lymphoma: a prospective randomized multicenter phase II trial with a median follow-up of 14.4 years. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2021; 148:1171-1181. [PMID: 34176014 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-021-03702-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 06/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to prospectively compare the MIFAP protocol, which had been shown to be effective in patients with relapsed and refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) or aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), to an established regimen like Dexa-BEAM. METHODS Seventy-three adult patients with HL (N = 25) or aggressive NHL (N = 48) suffering from relapse or refractory disease were randomly allocated to receive two cycles of Dexa-BEAM (dexamethasone, carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan; N = 37) or MIFAP (mitoxantrone, fludarabine, cytarabine, cisplatin; N = 36) prior to a consolidating high-dose therapy and hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Primary endpoint was the overall response rate (ORR) [complete response (CR) and partial response (PR)] after two courses of salvage chemotherapy. RESULTS The ORR was 51% (CR 38%) and 53% (CR 36%) in the Dexa-BEAM arm and in the MIFAP arm (both not significant), respectively. There was a significantly higher grade 3-4 toxicity after MIFAP compared to Dexa-BEAM. Thirty-five patients were consolidated by autologous (N = 29), allogeneic (N = 1) or sequential autologous/allogeneic (N = 5) HCT. No significant differences were found in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) between the Dexa-BEAM and the MIFAP arms. CONCLUSION Compared to Dexa-BEAM, MIFAP is associated with a higher toxicity and does not improve the outcome of patients with recurrent HL or aggressive NHL. For those patients, innovative treatment concepts like recently developed immunotherapies are necessary. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER EudraCT number 2021-001937-38. DATE OF REGISTRATION 7 April 2021, retrospectively registered.
