To compare in a phase III study the safety and efficacy of fludarabine to that of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (CVP) in recurrent, low-grade, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma after previous response to systemic treatment.
Patients were randomized to fludarabine (25 mg/m(2) intravenously on days 1 to 5, every 28 days) or CVP (cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m(2) and vincristine 1.2 mg/m(2) both intravenously on day 1 and prednisone 40 mg/m(2) orally on days 1 to 5, every 21 days). The primary outcome assessed was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary outcomes included treatment-free survival (TFS), overall survival (OS), treatment-related toxicity, and quality of life (QoL) according to the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer's Quality of Life Questionnaire C-30 version 1.0 instrument.
Ninety-one patients were randomized, 47 to fludarabine and 44 to CVP. There was no difference in response rates, with 64% (complete response [CR], 9%) for fludarabine versus 52% (CR, 7%) for CVP (P =.72). With a median follow-up of 42 months, median PFS (11 months v 9.1 months; P =.03) and TFS (15 months v 11 months; P =.02) were superior in patients receiving fludarabine. No difference in median overall survival was detected (57 months for fludarabine v 44 months for CVP; P =.95). Three patients receiving fludarabine died of treatment-related toxicity compared with none of the patients receiving CVP. Peripheral neuropathy and alopecia were more common with CVP. Patients receiving fludarabine had higher scores for social function (P =.008); no other differences in QoL were detected.
In recurrent low-grade lymphoma, fludarabine improves PFS, TFS, and social function scores in comparison with CVP but does not improve OS.
在一项III期研究中,比较氟达拉滨与环磷酰胺、长春新碱和泼尼松(CVP)用于既往接受全身治疗有反应的复发性、低度非霍奇金淋巴瘤的安全性和疗效。
患者被随机分为氟达拉滨组(第1至5天静脉注射25mg/m²,每28天一次)或CVP组(第1天静脉注射环磷酰胺750mg/m²和长春新碱1.2mg/m²,第1至5天口服泼尼松40mg/m²,每21天一次)。评估的主要结局为无进展生存期(PFS);次要结局包括无治疗生存期(TFS)、总生存期(OS)、治疗相关毒性以及根据欧洲癌症研究与治疗组织生活质量问卷C-30第1.0版工具评估的生活质量(QoL)。
91例患者被随机分组,47例接受氟达拉滨治疗,44例接受CVP治疗。缓解率无差异,氟达拉滨组为64%(完全缓解[CR],9%),CVP组为52%(CR,7%)(P = 0.72)。中位随访42个月,接受氟达拉滨治疗的患者中位PFS(11个月对9.1个月;P = 0.03)和TFS(15个月对11个月;P = 0.02)更优。未检测到中位总生存期有差异(氟达拉滨组为57个月,CVP组为44个月;P = 0.95)。3例接受氟达拉滨治疗的患者死于治疗相关毒性,而接受CVP治疗的患者无死亡。CVP组周围神经病变和脱发更常见。接受氟达拉滨治疗的患者社会功能评分更高(P = 0.008);未检测到QoL的其他差异。
在复发性低度淋巴瘤中,与CVP相比,氟达拉滨可改善PFS、TFS和社会功能评分,但不能改善OS。
