Background: Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) are a group of aggressive malignancies with inferior outcomes compared to B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Both allogeneic and autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are commonly employed for consolidation and salvage., Materials and Methods: We conducted a single-center review of all adult PTCL patients at OHSU who received HCT from 1991 to 2020 with responses assed by CIBMTR criteria., Results: 88 patients (autoHCT = 52, alloHCT = 36) were identified from the internal registry of ∼3800 autoHCT & alloHCT recipients in that time period. Median OS after autoHCT and alloHCT were 7.0 and 2.6 years. Median PFS after autoHCT and alloHCT was 3.9 vs 1.1 years. Post-HCT median OS for ALCL, AITL, and PTCL NOS were 14.9, 3.9, and 3.4 years, respectively. Median PFS after autoHCT performed while in CR vs. not in CR was 3.4 vs 4.2 years (P = 0.86); for alloHCT in CR vs. not CR 2.4 vs 0.7 years (P = 0.28). 1-year non-relapse mortality (NRM) for autoHCT and alloHCT were 6.1% and 22.2% (P = 0.2). 10/88 patients developed secondary malignancies including 4 skin cancers, 3 new lymphomas, and 2 MDS., Conclusion: Our experience with HCT for PTCL shows that HCT has acceptable toxicities and relatively long disease remissions. AutoHCT was most frequently utilized as planned remission consolidation while alloHCT was most often used late during salvage. Differences in response between autoHCT and alloHCT likely reflect differences in clinical setting and underlying disease natural history and biology., (Published by Elsevier Inc.)

Background: Second autologous transplants (SAT) are routinely performed in the setting of myeloma relapse, though data on outcomes are lacking. We conducted a single-center review of all multiple myeloma patients at OHSU who received SAT (excluding tandems) with responses assessed by International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria., Results: Sixty-eight patients received SAT between 1999 and 2019. Risk by IMWG was available for 50 patients (10 high-risk). Median age at SAT was 61 (45-74). Median time between 1st and 2nd Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) was 5.5 years (1.1 - 15.2). Median progression-free survival (PFS) after 1st ASCT (available for 53 pts) was 2.5 years (0.3 - 10). The average # of lines of therapy prior to SAT was 2.8 (1-14). SAT prep regimens (available for 67 pts) were: Fifty-one (87%) melphalan 200 mg/m 2 , 6 (9%) melphalan 140 mg/m 2 , 1 (2%) BEAM, 1 (2%) melphalan 200 mg/m 2 and bortezomib. All used PBSC mobilization. Median overall survival (OS) after SAT was 4.68 years, and median PFS was 1.72 years. By treatment era (1999-2009 vs. 2010-2019), median OS was 1.97 vs. 5.52 years (P = .15). When analyzed by IMWG group (standard/low vs. high risk) median PFS and OS were not significantly different (1.87 vs. 1.61 years and 3.58 vs. 5.91 years, respectively). Treatment-Related Mortality (TRM) occurred in 1 patient (2%)., Conclusion: Our experience with SAT for multiple myeloma (MM) shows that it has low TRM and is effective, with median OS >4.5 years, though with a shorter PFS than after 1st ASCT., Competing Interests: Disclosure The corresponding author has no conflicts of interest to report., (Copyright © 2021.
