Salvage therapy with high-dose cytarabine and mitoxantrone in combination with all-trans retinoic acid and gemtuzumab ozogamicin in acute myeloid leu…
2015
Outcome of patients with primary refractory acute myeloid leukemia remains unsatisfactory. We conducted a prospective phase II clinical trial with gemtuzumab ozogamicin (3 mg/m(2) intravenously on day 1), all-trans retinoic acid (45 mg/m(2) orally on days 4-6 and 15 mg/m(2) orally on days 7-28), high-dose cytarabine (3 g/m(2)/12 h intravenously on days 1-3) and mitoxantrone (12 mg/m(2) intravenously on days 2-3) in 93 patients aged 18-60 years refractory to one cycle of induction therapy. Primary end point of the study was response to therapy; secondary end points included evaluation of toxicities, in particular, rate of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome after allogeneic hematopoietic cell tr…
Effects on Survival and Neurocognitive Functions of Whole-Brain Radiotherapy (WBRT) and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT) as Consolidation …

Abstract Introduction: IELSG32 is an international randomized phase II trial with 2 key clinical questions in pts with PCNSL. The first question focused on optimal induction therapy, and results of the 1st randomization have demonstrated that MATRix combination (methotrexate (MTX), cytarabine (ARAC), thiotepa, rituximab (R)) is associated with significantly better outcome [Ferreri AJ, et al. Lancet Haematol 2016]. The second question addresses the efficacy and neurotolerability of ASCT, as an alternative to WBRT as consolidation. Herein, we report the results of the 2nd randomization (NCT01011920). Methods: HIV-neg pts 18-70 ys and ECOG PS ≤3 with new histology-proven PCNSL and measurable d…
Impact of Donor Type on Outcome after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients: Analysis of the German-Austrian Acute …
2014
Abstract Background:Despite recent advances in identifying novel molecular targets in AML patients, intensive chemotherapy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) still remains a cornerstone of AML therapy. However, outcome of HSCT depends on the availability of a donor and the donor type. Prior studies comparing HSCT from HLA-matched related donors (MRD) with matched unrelated donors (MUD), demonstrated conflicting results with regards to outcome. These conflicting results might be attributed to the genetic heterogeneity of AML. Aims:To analyze outcome with respect to donor type of 952 AML patients who received HSCT in first complete remission (CR) and were tr…
B-MIND: MOR208 plus bendamustine (BEN) versus rituximab (RTX) plus BEN in patients with relapsed or refractory (R-R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (D…

TPS7571 Background: Patients ineligible for stem cell transplantation (SCT) or who relapse after SCT, and those who fail to respond to second-line or salvage chemotherapy, represent an unmet medical need for which new therapeutic strategies are required. MOR208 is a novel Fc-enhanced, humanized, monoclonal antibody directed against CD19. Significant single-agent activity of MOR208 in patients with R-R DLBCL (Jurczak et al., J Clin Oncol 34, 2016 [suppl; abstr 7545]) and enhancement of MOR208-mediated cytotoxicity by BEN in preclinical studies, provide a strong rationale to study MOR208 + BEN in patients with R-R DLBCL. Methods: B-MIND is a randomized (1:1), two-arm, multicenter, open-label…

Background The International Extranodal Lymphoma Study Group-32 (IELSG32) trial is an international randomised phase 2 study that addresses two key clinical questions in the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma. Results of the first randomisation have demonstrated that methotrexate, cytarabine, thiotepa, and rituximab (called the MATRix regimen) is the induction combination associated with significantly better outcome compared with the other induction combinations tested. Here, we report the results of the second randomisation that addresses the efficacy of myeloablative chemotherapy supported by autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT), as an alternative to wh…
Prognostic Impact of Mutant to Wild-Type Ratio and Insertion Site in Acute Myeloid Leukemia with FLT3 Internal Tandem Duplication
2012
Abstract Abstract 785 Background: FLT3 internal tandem duplications (FLT3-ITD) occur in about 25% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), are associated with cooperating gene mutations (NPM1, DNMT3A), and confer an adverse prognosis. Several studies have indicated that the unfavorable impact of FLT3-ITD is influenced by a number of factors, such as the mutant to wild-type ratio (allelic ratio), insertion site of FLT3-ITD in the beta1 sheet of the tyrosine kinase domain 1, and the molecular background of cooperating mutations. Aims: To evaluate the relative impact of FLT3-ITD allelic ratio and insertion site, as well as cooperating genetic lesions on prognosis and treatment decision making in a lar…
Treatment Results In Acute Myeloid Leukemia Over a Time Period Of 20 Years: Analysis Of The German-Austrian Acute Myeloid Leukemia Study Group (AMLSG)
2013
Abstract Background Overall survival (OS) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) treated with intensive chemotherapy has improved over the last 20 year especially in younger adults (18-60 years) but still remains poor in older patients (>60 years) (Döhner et al. Blood 2010). The German-Austrian AMLSG performed controlled prospective treatment trials since 1993 starting with a risk-adapted approach (phase I, 1993-1997), followed by randomized and risk-adapted treatment strategies based on cytogenetic risk groups (phase II, 1997-2002); since 2003 addition of differentiating agents and HiDAC inhibitors to intensive induction therapy was evaluated (phase III, 2003-2007). Of note, until 2007 younger…
All-Trans Retinoic Acid Improves Outcome in Younger Adult Patients with Nucleophosmin-1 Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia – Results of the AMLSG 07-04 R…
2011
Abstract Abstract 80 Background: Mutations in the nucleophosmin-1 gene (NPM1) are the most common genetic abnormalities in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and define a provisional AML entity in the current WHO classification. In a retrospective biomarker study within a randomized trial of older patients with AML, we demonstrated that patients with mutated NPM1 and absence of a FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) benefit from all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) as adjunct to conventional chemotherapy (Schlenk et al. Haematologica 2009;94:54–69). Aims: To evaluate the impact of ATRA in combination with conventional chemotherapy on outcome, and to assess the NPM1 mutational status as predictive mar…
