    Abstract: Introduction: Management of elderly patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is challenging. A simplified Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (sCGA) based on ADL (Activity of Daily Living), IADL (Instrumental ADL) and CIRS-G (Comorbidity Index Rating Scale for Geriatrics) scales has demonstrated to be better than clinical judgement to stratify patients' outcome but has never been included in initial assessment. To further assess the impact of sCGA on patients' outcome, we conducted a prospective observational study on a large series of elderly patients with DLBCL. Methods: Patients were enrolled if 65 year old or older, with an untreated de novo DLBCL. sCGA was available at a web based platform that classified patients as FIT, UNFIT, and FRAIL, as shown in Table 1. Treatment choice was left at physician discretion. According to anthracycline dose, therapy was classified as curative (≥70% of full anthracycline dose), intermediate ( & lt;70%) or palliative (no anthracycline). Primary study endpoint was Overall Survival (OS). Results: From December 2013 to December 2017, 1353 patients have been registered by 37 centres and 1207 were eligible. Median age was 76 years (65-94), 68% had stage III-IV, and 55% had an International Prognostic Index(IPI) ≥3; 500 (42%), 304 (25%), and 403 (33%) were classified as FIT, UNFIT and FRAIL, respectively. Data on treatment were available in 1164 patients: rituximab was used in 96% of patients; treatment was curative in 89%, 53%, and 36% of FIT, UNFIT, and FRAIL patients, respectively; intermediate in 10%, 39%, and 31%, palliative in 0%, 8%, and 33% of patients. The OS was available in 1158 out 1164 cases. With a median follow up of 30 months (1-59) 3y-OS was 64% (95% CI 61% to 67%). According to sCGA the OS was significantly different among the 3 geriatric groups. Correlation with OS was improved when sCGA was integrated with age & lt; or ≥ 80 years to define 3 groups of patients (Table 2): FIT and UNFIT younger than 80 years (sCGA Group 1; 55%, 3 yr OS 75%), UNFIT ≥ 80 years and FRAIL younger than 80 years (sCGA Group 2: 28%, 3yr OS 58%), FRAIL ≥ 80 years (sCGA Group 3: 17%; 3yr OS 43%). Univariable and multivariable analysis for OS was conducted using the 3 sCGA groups and other clinical and laboratory features. The 3 sCGA groups were shown as independent prognostic factors with IPI and with anemia (Hb & lt; 12 g/dl). We used results of multivariable analysis to build a categorical prognostic index assigning different weights to prognostic features based on their Hazard Ratio (HR) (Table 3). The Elderly Prognostic Index (EPI) was defined as the score obtained from the sum of the weights and allowed to define 3 risk groups: Low Risk (LR: score 0-1; 23% of patients); Intermediate Risk (IR; score 2-4; 48%); High Risk (HiR; score 5-7; 29%). The 3 EPI risk groups had a different 3 year OS of 87%(95%CI 81-91), 69%(95%CI 63-73), and 42% (95%CI 36-49); HR for IR vs LR 2.57 (1.72, 3.84); HiR vs LR 6.21(4.17 -9.25), HiR vs IR 2.42 (1.91-3.05) (Figure1). Regarding treatment modality, curative, intermediate and palliative therapies were adopted in 89%, 10%, and 1% of the LR group; 70%, 24%, 7% of the IR group, and 37%, 35%, 28% of the HiR group. The model was internally validated by means of 1000 procedures confirming good performance (slope shrinkage 0.935 and c-Harrell 0.675 in validation sample compared with 0.682 in training sample). The EPI was also tested in an external validation data set that was identified from the pivotal study of sCGA in DLBCL (N=172 patients, Tucci A. et al, Leuk Lymph, 2015) (Figure 1). Conclusion: Using data from this large prospective observational study on elderly DLBCL patients we were able to build a new prognostic index that allows to identify 3 risk groups with significant differences in terms of 3 years OS. The EPI is the first index that integrates geriatric assessment with clinical features and contributes to improving management and clinical research in elderly patients with DLBCL.

    Abstract: Abstract 1615 Background: Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the most common types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. R-CHOP21 (C21) is considered the standard therapy but a large number of studies have tested R-CHOP14 (C14). Aims: The aim of our study was to evaluate retrospectively a cohort of patients (pts) treated with C21 or C14 and to compare the efficacy of the therapy. Methods: All pts with diagnosis of DLBCL or follicular grade IIIb lymphoma, treated with curative intent in 9 Italian Hematological Centers, were accrued. All patients treated with C14 used G-CSF as primary prophilaxis, and only elderly (over 70 years) patients treated with C21 used G-CSF as primary prophilaxis. Results: From january 2002 to june 2011, 950 pts were accrued, 643 pts were treated with C21 and 307 were treated with C14. The median age was 63 (range 19–89). The two cohorts of pts were balanced for all clinical characteristics a part for age ( 〈 60 or 〉 60 years) with more aged pts in C21 arm (p 0.001), bone marrow positivity and more than 3 lymph node stations involved that were higher in C14 arm (p: 0.05 and p: 0.001). After induction therapy 751 pts (79%) obtained a complete remission: 501/643 (78%) after C21 and 250/307 (81%) after C14. The remaining pts obtained partial response in 110 and 48 or no response in 32 and 9 respectively for C21 and C14. After a median period of observation of 38 months 104 pts relapsed (14%), 68 (65%) in the C21 arm and 36 (35%) in the C14 arm. After a median observation period of 3 years, considering the two therapies, C21 vs C14, no differences were reported in OS (Figure 1), PFS (Figure 2) and DFS: 80% vs 84%, 69% vs 71% and 54% vs 56% respectively. In univariate analysis OS was lower in older pts (azard ratio (ar): 2.57), IPI 2 (ar: 2.09), IPI 3 (ar: 4.36), IPI 4–5 (ar: 6.36), bulky disease (ar: 1.70), symptomatic disease (ar: 2.23). In multivariate analysis factors which mantained significantly worst prognosis were older age (ar: 1.35), IPI 2 (ar: 1.95), IPI 3 (ar: 3.76), IPI 4–5 (ar: 5.01) and bulky disease (ar: 1.43). As expected hematological grade III/IV toxicity was more frequent in pts treated with C14. No differences in extra-hematological toxicity were observed. Secondary malignancies were reported: 7 in C21 and 3 in C14. After 3 years of median observation 188 pts are dead: 137 (73%) in C21 and 51 (27%) in C14 (not statistically significant, p:0.08). The large majority of pts are dead for disease progression or relapse. Conclusions: In conclusion our results confirm that C14 do not improve the results of the standard C21 in the whole lymphoma population. Dose dense therapy did not affect OS or PFS also analysing sub group of pts. As expected a higher frequency of neutropenia was observed in C21 arm but did not translate in increasing infection rate. Further prospective randomized studies are needed to verify this preliminary observations. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

    Abstract: The R-BAC regimen is considered among standard first-line treatment for elderly fit patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). In the previous R-BAC500 FIL trial, patients with the blastoid variant and/or high Ki67 proliferative index (High Risk - HR-) had a significantly higher risk of progression (2-years PFS of 40%), as compared to classical histologies and low proliferative index (Low Risk -LR-). When treated with R-BAC, LR patients had excellent outcome (median PFS not reached after 7 years), although no maintenance therapy was delivered. For this reason we designed a phase 2 trial that enrolled patients from 35 centers of the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL). At study entry, patients were centrally reviewed and stratified as "low risk (LR)", or "high risk (HR)", depending on morphology (blastoid versus others), Ki67 expression (≥30% versus others), TP53 mutation/TP53 deletions (present versus not). Patients with any of the three risk factors were classified as HR. The primary endpoint was 2-years progression-free survival (PFS) for the HR patients. Patients had to be aged ≥65 years and fit according to the geriatric CGA assessment, or age ≤64 years if not eliglible to high-dose chemotherapy plus transplantation. Asymptomatic patients with non-nodal disease were excluded. Treatment consisted of 6 cycles of R-BAC (rituximab 375 mg/m2 d 1; bendamustine 70 mg/m2 d 1,2; cytarabine 500 mg/m2 d 1,2,3) for LR patients. HR patients received abbreviated induction with a maximum of 4 R-BAC followed by consolidation (4 months, 800 mg/d), and maintenance (20 months, 400 mg/d) with venetoclax. First patient was included on the 3rd of september, 2018, and last patient on the 20th of july, 2021. Overall, 140 patients were enrolled, of whom 52 were HR (37%). Median age was 72 (range 57-79), and 75% were males. The prevalence of TP53 mutations and deletions in the whole series was 21%, and 13%, respectively; Ki67 was ≥30% in 24%, and the blastoid variant was diagnosed in 9%. Demographic characteristics of HR versus LR patients (127 patients with available data at the present time) are reported in Table 1A. Median follow-up was 9 months (range 0-34). The two groups (HR and LR) had similar age, gender, and MIPI, but differed for LDH, and SUVmax at diagnosis, both being significantly more elevated in the HR group. The VR-BAC trial represents the first prospective study that stratified patients with MCL to different frontline treatments according to centralized on-time evaluation of the risk profile. We have shown that almost 40% of elderly patients with MCL in need of treatment have HR features. Data on tolerance, and tumor response will be presented at the meeting. Figure 1 Figure 1.

    Abstract: Up to 10%–15% of diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are related to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, in particular in elderly patients. The Fondazione Italiana Linfomi has recently published a multicentre prospective observational study, the ‘Elderly Project’, on the outcome of DLBCL in patients aged ≥65 years, evaluated using a simplified comprehensive geriatric assessment. The aim of this study was to compare biological and clinical features of HCV positive (HCV+) with HCV negative (HCV−) cases. A total of 89 HCV+ patients were identified out of 1095 evaluated for HCV serology (8.1%). The HCV+ patients were older, less fit, and had frequent extranodal involvement. The cell‐of‐origin determination by Nanostring showed that HCV+ cases less frequently had an activated B‐cell profile compared to HCV− patients (18% vs. 43%). In all, 86% of HCV+ patients received rituximab‐cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine (Oncovin) and prednisone (R‐CHOP)‐like immunochemotherapy. Grade 3–4 liver toxicity occurred in 3% of cases. Among centrally reviewed cases confirmed as DLBCL, the 3‐year overall survival of HCV+ patients was very similar to HCV− (63% vs. 61%, p  = 0.926). In all, 20 HCV+ patients were treated with direct‐acting antiviral agents (DAAs), with good tolerance and sustained virological response in all cases. The 3‐year progression‐free survival for this subgroup was excellent (77%), suggesting DAAs' possible role in reducing the risk of relapse by eliminating the viral trigger.

    Abstract: Introduction Non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (NPLD) is considered a good alternative to conventional doxorubicin for the treatment of older patients (pts) with aggressive lymphomas and/or at high risk for cardiological toxicity. The use of R-COMP for the treatment of older pts with DLBCL has been supported by several small retrospective studies . In this report we describe the characteristics and outcomes of pts who were prospectively enrolled in the Elderly Project (EP) and who were treated with R-COMP and compared them with pts treated with conventional R-CHOP. Methods. This analysis was conducted starting from the dataset of the EP study. The use of NPLD was allowed according to 648/96 law, treatment decision was left to physician discretion and was independent of frailty status. For the purposes of this analysis, we included all pts who were treated with full doses of R-CHOP and R-COMP. The study endpoint were progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). A propensity score analysis was conducted to account for the main confounding factors. Results Overall 691 out of 1163 pts of the EP were treated with R-CHOP (383; 55%) or R-COMP (308; 45%); median age was 71 and 76 years for R-CHOP and R-COMP, respectively (p & lt; 0.001) (Table 1). Pts were similarly distributed among different IPI groups for R-COMP or R-CHOP. Based on simplified Geriatric Assessment (sGA) 88%, 11% and & lt;1% of the R-CHOP treated pts and 61%, 32% and 6% of the R-COMP pts were FIT, UNFIT, and FRAIL (p & lt;0.001). Elderly Prognostic Index (EPI) score was low, intermediate, and high in 39%, 54% and 8% of R-CHOP pts and 27%, 49% and 24% of R-COMP pts (p & lt;0.001). PFS at 3-years was 70% for R-CHOP and 64% for R-COMP (p=ns). OS at 3-years was 77% for R-CHOP and 71% for R-COMP (p=ns). The propensity score analysis was conducted in 610 pts and confirmed no significant differences in terms of PFS and OS in the comparison between R-CHOP and R-COMP treated pts (PFS; HR 1.17, 95% CI 0.84-1.63; OS: HR 1.04 95% CI 0.64-1.48). No differences were registered in terms of interruption of treatment due to toxicities (7% for R-CHOP and 11% for R-COMP). Conclusions Data from the prospective observational EP study did not show significant differences in terms of efficacy comparing R-COMP to standard R-CHOP. The higher frequency of UNFIT and FRAIL pts among those treated with NPLD suggests R-COMP is a good strategy to offer a curative treatment to these groups of pts. Figure 1 Figure 1.

    Abstract: Rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) is the most commonly used regimen for the upfront treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, it is associated with cardiotoxicity, especially in older patients. Substituting doxorubicin with non-PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin (R-COMP) may reduce the risk of cardiac events, but its efficacy has never been demonstrated in prospective trials. We describe the characteristics and outcome of patients with DLBCL aged ≥65 years prospectively enrolled in the Elderly Project by the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi and treated with full doses of R-CHOP or R-COMP per local practice. Starting from 1163 patients, 383 (55%) were treated with R-CHOP and 308 (45%) with R-COMP. Patients treated with R-COMP were older (median age, 76 vs 71 years), less frequently fit at simplified geriatric assessment (61% vs 88%; P  & lt; .001), and had a more frequent baseline cardiac disorders (grade & gt;1, 32% vs 8%; P  & lt; .001). Three-year progression-free survival (PFS) was similar between R-CHOP and R-COMP (70% and 64%); 3-year overall survival was 77%, and 71% respectively. R-CHOP was associated with better PFS vs R-COMP only in the Elderly Prognostic Index (EPI) low-risk group. The two groups had similar rates of treatment interruptions due to toxicities or of cardiac events (P = 1.00). We suggest R-COMP is a potentially curative treatment for older patients with intermediate- or high-risk EPI, even in the presence of a baseline cardiopathy. R-CHOP is confirmed as the standard therapy for low risk patients.

    Abstract: This retrospective study included 246 patients with a new diagnosis of Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) with a localized‐stage (IA‐IIA), consecutively admitted from January 2002 to December 2008, by twelve Italian hematological centers on behalf of Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL). Patients were staged at baseline and after two cycles of chemotherapy with PET. All patients were treated with four cycles of ABVD followed by involved‐field radiotherapy. No treatment change, based on PET‐2 results was allowed. Endpoint of the study was the predictive role of PET‐2 on 2‐y failure‐free survival (FFS). PET‐2 was positive in 36 patients (15%) and negative in 210. After a mean follow‐up of 46 (3–105) months 19/36 PET‐2 positive patients progressed or relapsed and 17 achieved and maintained a CCR. The positive and negative predictive value of a PET2 was 53% and 95%, respectively. The sensibility, specificity and accuracy of PET2 were 65.5%, 92% and 89%, respectively. PET‐2 positive scans were centrally reviewed according to the recently defined Deauville Criteria. Upon review the PPV and NPV was 73% and 96% overall. Factors with prognostic significance for progression in univariate analysis were a positive PET‐2 ( P  = 0.000) and the presence of bulky disease ( P   〈  0.01). In a multivariate analysis the only factor that affected negatively FFS was a positive PET‐2 ( P  = 0.000). This study confirms that interim‐PET could be considered a prognostic test also in early stage HL, but is unlikely to be a factor that will justify the change of therapeutical approach. Am. J.
