e19070 Background: Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) are a rare heterogenous group of lymphomas and modern studies on incidence patterns of PTCL are lacking. Methods: Using the National Program of Cancer registries (NPCR) database, which covers 99% of the US population, we aim to evaluate the incidence of PTCL according to age, race-ethnicity, and gender; and examine trends over time. We identified PTCL using ICD-O-3 codes and evaluated incidence trends from 2001 to 2015. Results: A total of 78722 PTCL cases were identified, the most common were Mycoses fungoides/Sezary syndrome (MF-SS), PTCL Not Otherwise Specified (NOS), and ALK+ Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALK+ ALCL). The age-adjusted incidence rate was 2.1 per 100,000. Incidence of PTCL increased with age (6.7/100,000 in 80+years). PTCL was more common in males than females (incidence rate ratio [IRR] of 0.6, p<0.05). Most PTCL were more common in Non-Hispanic Blacks (NHB). Incidence rates of MF-SS, PTCL NOS, Hepatosplenic TCL (HSL) in NHB were 0.8, 0.8, and 0.02 per 100,000 [IRR 1.7, 1.8, 2.2, p<0.05] respectively which is approximately twice that of Non-Hispanic whites (NHW). Viral related PTCL like Adult T-cell Leukemia Lymphoma (HTLV), Angio-Immunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma [AITL] (EBV), Extranodal NK-TCL nasal type [ENK TCL] (EBV), NK cell leukemia (EBV) are higher in groups at highest predisposition such as NHB and Non-Hispanic Asian Pacific Islanders (NHAPI). Primary cutaneous (PC) gamma-delta TCL occurs exclusively in NHW at an incidence rate of 0.03 per 100,000. There was no increase in overall yearly incidence of PTCL over the study period (0.1%, p=NS) but the incidence increased in NHB (Annual Percent Change [APC] 1.4%, p <0.05). Incidence of ENK TCL and AITL increased in NHAPI (2.2% and 3.7%, respectively [p <0.05]). The incidence of ALK + ALCL, PC CD30+ TCL decreased (APC -4.2%, -2% [p≤0.05] respectively). Conclusions: This is the first study to show unique incidence patterns of PTCL namely higher incidence in males, African Americans (esp. MF, PTCL-NOS and HSL unaccounted for viral etiologies) and exclusivity of primary cutaneous gamma delta TCL in NHW. Further research is needed to understand these differences.
Abstract The objective of our study was to report real-world data on the safety and efficacy of standard-of-care teclistamab in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). This is a multi-institutional retrospective cohort study and included all consecutive patients that received at least one dose of teclistamab up until August 2023. One hundred and ten patients were included, of whom, 86% had triple-class refractory disease, 76% penta-refractory disease, and 35% had prior exposure to B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeting therapies. The overall response rate (ORR) in our cohort was 62%, with a ≥ very good partial remission (VGPR) rate of 51%. The ORR in patients with and without prior BCMA-targeted therapies was 54% vs 67%, respectively ( p = 0.23). At a median follow-up of 3.5 months (range, 0.39–10.92), the estimated 3 month and 6 month progression free survival (PFS) was 57% (95% CI, 48%, 68%) and 52% (95% CI, 42%, 64%) respectively. The incidence of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) was 56% and 11% respectively, with grade ≥3 CRS and ICANS noted in 3.5% and 4.6% of patients respectively. 78 unique infections were diagnosed in 44 patients, with the incidence of all-grade and grade ≥3 infections being 40% vs 26% respectively. Primary prophylaxis with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) was associated with a significantly lower infection risk on multivariate analysis (Hazard ratio [HR] 0.33; 95% CI 0.17, 0.64 ; p = 0.001).
