Background: Literature suggests that three or more organ involvement is a contraindication for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in light chain amyloidosis (AL). Most centers limit transplantation to patients who have no more than two organs significantly involved. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients with AL Amyloidosis involving three or more organs and who had ASCT between 1996-2015 at Mayo clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. Results: Seventy five patients underwent ASCT with three or more organs involved. Median age at diagnosis was 54 years and 67% were males. The heart was involved in 95%, followed by kidneys (84%). Thirty eight patients (51%) had no induction treatment prior to ASCT. Full dose melphalan (200mg/m2) was given in 45%, and the remaining received a reduced dose (140mg/m2). Overall response rate (hematological) was 75%. The median progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 16.3 and 68.9 months, respectively. The 100-day mortality was 16% and overall forty four patients (59%) died during the follow up period. The most common causes of death were cardiovascular events (32%) and progressive amyloidosis (25%). On multivariable analysis, predictors for PFS were Mayo stage III/IV (RR 3.3, P = 0.0012) and hematological response (≥VGPR, RR 0.4, P = 0.012). An NT-ProBNP level of ≥2000 pg/ml was an independent predictor for shorter PFS (RR 2.6, P = 0.013). Predictors for OS included any hematological response (RR 0.1, P < 0.0001) and Mayo stage III/IV (RR 7, P < 0.0001). When looking at the NT-ProBNP, a level ≥2000 was prognostic (RR 5.5, P = 0.001). Number of organs involved (3 vs. 4-5) was not significant in either PFS or OS. Conclusions: We conclude that the high prevalence of cardiac involvement is the main driver for the poor outcome in patients who have three or more organs involved. Using selection criteria defined for safe transplantation in cardiac amyloidosis should result in low therapy-related mortality independent of the number of organs involved. The concept of considering patients with three organs involved ineligible for stem cell transplantation should be abandoned.
