PG - 763.e1-763.e5 LID - S2666-6367(23)01519-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jtct.2023.09.005 [doi] AB - There remains an unmet need to optimize the first-line treatment of patients with high-risk large B cell lymphoma (LBCL), particularly those with a high International Prognostic Index (IPI) score or a positive interim positron emission tomography (PET) scan who experience poor outcomes with R-CHOP. This study was conducted to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of consolidative autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) among patients with high-risk LBCL. This retrospective study included consecutive patients with LBCL and IPI score 4 or 5 who underwent consolidative ASCT as part of first-line therapy in Alberta, Canada. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and disease-specific survival (DSS) were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method. The study cohort comprised 114 patients with median age of 60 years (range, 18 to 73 years), of whom 81 (71%) had an IPI score of 4 and 33 (29%) had an IPI score of 5. With a median follow-up of 5.6 years, the 5-year PFS was 72% (95% confidence interval [CI], 62% to 79%), 5-year OS was 74% (95% CI, 64% to 81%), and 5-year DSS was 80% (95% CI, 71% to 87%). There was no significant difference in PFS among patients with and patients without positive interim PET scans (n = 24), MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements (n = 26), or central nervous system involvement (n = 15). Consolidative ASCT is associated with high cure rates and favorable survival outcomes in patients with high-risk LBCL and may overcome the adverse prognostic impact of a positive interim PET scan.
