Allogeneic stem cell transplantation achieves long-term remissions in mantle cell lymphoma, including in -mutated disease.

Cytarabine-containing chemoimmunotherapy followed by autologous transplantation and rituximab maintenance achieves durable remissions for most patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). However, patients with -mutated disease have poor outcomes with standard approaches. We previously reported that allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) achieved durable remissions in MCL, however follow-up among patients with -mutated disease was limited. Here we report extended follow-up of the overall cohort ( 36) and mutated subset  13) (median follow-up 10.8 and 4.2 years, respectively). Estimated overall survival was 56% at 10 years for the overall cohort and 59% at 4 years for the mutated subset. Among patients with mutated disease, no relapses occurred beyond 6 months post-transplant. Survival after post-alloSCT disease relapse was poor (median 2.1 years). These data confirm that alloSCT can be curative in MCL, including patients with -mutated disease, and should be considered for earlier utilization in this subgroup for whom conventional chemoimmunotherapy is ineffective.
