Introduction Hepatic veno-occlusive disease, also called sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (VOD/SOS), is a potentially life-threatening complication of conditioning for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and is associated with patient and transplant-related risk factors, such as prior therapies, underlying diagnoses, and conditioning regimen. Unpredictable in its occurrence and severity, VOD/SOS is clinically characterized by painful hepatomegaly, hyperbilirubinemia, ascites, and weight gain. Overall estimated prevalence is 14% post-HSCT, while rates in some high-risk populations (eg, osteopetrosis or prior gemtuzumab ozogamicin) are >60% (Wadleigh M et al. Blood . 2003;102:1578-82; Corbacioglu S et al. Bone Marrow Transplant . 2006;38:547-53). Evidence suggests that defibrotide stabilizes endothelial cells, with direct and endothelial-cell mediated restoration of the thrombo-fibrinolytic balance. Defibrotide is approved in the European Union for the treatment of severe hepatic VOD/SOS in patients receiving HSCT, and is available in the United States through an expanded-access study. In a previously reported randomized clinical trial, defibrotide prophylaxis for VOD/SOS in high-risk pediatric patients undergoing HSCT reduced the overall incidence of VOD/SOS by day +30 post-HSCT. Here we report novel subgroup analyses of VOD/SOS incidence from this trial in patients with specific VOD/SOS risk factors at baseline. Methods This was a phase 3, multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled trial in patients aged 5% weight gain. Patients were randomized to standard care with or without defibrotide prophylaxis dosed at 25 mg/kg/day in 4 divided infusions of 6.25 mg/kg. Osteopetrosis was a stratification variable. Defibrotide began the same day as HSCT conditioning and continued for 30 days post-HSCT, or ≥14 days for patients discharged from hospital before day +30 post-HSCT. Control patients who developed VOD/SOS received defibrotide treatment. The primary endpoint was incidence of VOD/SOS at day +30 post-HSCT. Results The intent-to-treat population included 356 patients: 180 randomized to defibrotide prophylaxis and 176 in the control group. Mean (SD) age was 6.6 (5.3) years, and 40.7% of patients were female. Demographic and clinical characteristics, including VOD/SOS risk factors (Table), were well-matched in the defibrotide and control groups. The most common risk factors among all patients were conditioning with busulfan and melphalan (58%), preexisting liver disease (27%), and second myeloablative transplantation (13%). VOD/SOS occurred by day +30 post-HSCT in 22 (12%) patients in the defibrotide prophylaxis group vs 35 (20%) patients in the control group. For the stratification variable, osteopetrosis, rates of VOD/SOS were 14% in the defibrotide prophylaxis arm and 67% in the control arm (Table). Differences in rates of VOD/SOS were lowest for adrenoleukodystrophy (no cases) and prior abdominal irradiation (11% vs 13%, respectively) (Table). Conclusions Across risk-factor subgroups, the rate of VOD/SOS was lower in patients receiving defibrotide compared with controls (except adrenoleukodystrophy: no VOD/SOS in either group). In particular, rates of VOD/SOS by day +30 were reduced by ≥50% in the defibrotide arm vs the control arm among patients with osteopetrosis, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, second myeloablative transplantation, and prior gemtuzumab treatment. Although the total numbers of patients with these risk factors were small, these between-group differences are of clinical interest and should be further explored. | Risk Factor | Defibrotide (n=180) | Control (n=176) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Total n | VOD/SOS incidence (n=22; 12.2%) n (%*) | Total n | VOD/SOS incidence (n=35; 20.0%) n (%*) | | Adrenoleukodystrophy | 1 | 0 (0) | 1 | 0 (0) | | Osteopetrosis | 7 | 1 (14) | 6 | 4 (67) | | Prior abdominal irradiation | 9 | 1 (11) | 8 | 1 (13) | | Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis | 10 | 0 (0) | 15 | 6 (40) | | Prior gemtuzumab | 11 | 2 (18) | 5 | 2 (40) | | Allogeneic HSCT for leukemia | 17 | 2 (12) | 11 | 2 (18) | | Second myeloablative transplantation | 25 | 2 (8) | 23 | 4 (17) | | Pre-existing liver disease | 41 | 6 (15) | 54 | 12 (22) | | Busulfan/melphalan conditioning | 106 | 15 (14) | 99 | 17 (17) | * *Percent of patients with VOD/SOS.

Abstract Background: The most important drawback of clinical trials of high-dose therapy (HDT) followed by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in lymphomas is the high heterogeneity of histological entities. Therefore, the statistical power is reduced, and data are not conclusive. We previously demonstrated the safety of a new conditioning regimen with bendamustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan (BeEAM) prior to ASCT in resistant/relapsed lymphoma patients. This combination of drugs was able to induce a high CR rate in a population that did not have an opportunity of being cured with other therapies. However, that study enrolled both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Aims: We designed a phase II study to evaluate the efficacy of the BeEAM conditioning in resistant/relapsed diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. Patients and methods: The study was registered at European Union Drug Regulating Authorities Clinical Trials (EudraCT) N. 2011-001246-14. Until now, 61 patients (median age 54 years, range 19-69) with resistant/relapsed DLBCL were enrolled. The primary end-point of the study is to evaluate the 1-year complete remission rate. Results: Briefly, 46/61 patients had advanced stage disease (III-IV); 20 were primary refractory and 41 had relapsed after a median number of 2 lines of therapy (range: 1-3). Twenty-one patients had 1 or more relevant comorbidities (range: 1- 5). 30 patients were in II or subsequent CR after salvage therapy, whereas 27 were in PR and 4 had stable or progressive disease. A median number of 5.72x106 CD34+/kg cells (range 2.21-10.60) collected from peripheral blood was reinfused to patients. All patients engrafted, with a median time to ANC>0.5x109/l of 10 days. Median times to achieve a platelet count >20x109/l and >50x109/l were 12 and 17 days respectively. Twenty-two out of 61 patients presented a fever of unknown origin (36%), whereas 24 patients (39%) presented a clinically documented infection. All patients received G-CSF after transplant for a median time of 8 days (range: 8-13). One patient died due to an incomplete hematological recovery after transplant, producing an overall transplant related mortality of 2.7%. Fifty-seven patients are evaluable for response: 48/57 (84%) obtained a CR, 3/57 (5%) a PR, whereas 6/57 (11%) did not respond to therapy. After a median follow-up of 10.5 months after transplant (range 3-37), 6/57 (11%) patients were refractory, 12/57 (21%) relapsed and 39/57 (68%) are still alive, in continuous CR. Conclusion: Our clinical trial was designed to closely resemble real-world treatment for these patients. During the study, we transplanted a similar proportion of the patients that would have received ASCT in a real-world scenario. While we cannot make sound comparisons without head-to-head trials, results from previous studies using HDT regimens in DLCBL have not been as encouraging as ours. Accordingly, our data preliminary provide the evidence that the Benda-BEAM regimen is safe and has promising high efficacy in resistant-relapsed aggressive DLBCL patients.
