There are no prospective studies of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) treated with CHOP in sub-Saharan Africa. We enrolled adults with aggressive NHL in Malawi between June 2013 and May 2015. Chemotherapy and supportive care were standardized, and HIV+ patients received antiretroviral therapy (ART). Thirty-seven of 58 patients (64%) were HIV+. Median age was 47 years (IQR 39-56), and 35 (60%) were male. Thirty-five patients (60%) had stage III/IV, 43 (74%) B symptoms, and 28 (48%) performance status ≥ 2. B-cell NHL predominated among HIV+ patients, and all T-cell NHL occurred among HIV- individuals. Thirty-one HIV+ patients (84%) were on ART for a median 9.9 months (IQR 1.1-31.7) before NHL diagnosis, median CD4 was 121 cells/μL (IQR 61-244), and 43% had suppressed HIV RNA. HIV+ patients received a similar number of CHOP cycles compared to HIV- patients, but more frequently developed grade 3/4 neutropenia (84% vs 31%, p = 0.001), resulting in modestly lower cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin doses with longer intervals between cycles. Twelve-month overall survival (OS) was 45% (95% CI 31-57%). T-cell NHL (HR 3.90, p = 0.017), hemoglobin (HR 0.82 per g/dL, p = 0.017), albumin (HR 0.57 per g/dL, p = 0.019), and IPI (HR 2.02 per unit, p<0.001) were associated with mortality. HIV was not associated with mortality, and findings were similar among patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Twenty-three deaths were from NHL (12 HIV+, 11 HIV-), and 12 from CHOP (9 HIV+, 3 HIV-). CHOP can be safe, effective, and feasible for aggressive NHL in Malawi with and without HIV.
在撒哈拉以南非洲地区,尚无关于采用CHOP方案治疗侵袭性非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)的前瞻性研究。我们于2013年6月至2015年5月在马拉维招募了患有侵袭性NHL的成人患者。化疗和支持治疗均标准化,HIV阳性患者接受抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)。58例患者中有37例(64%)为HIV阳性。中位年龄为47岁(四分位间距39 - 56岁),35例(60%)为男性。35例患者(60%)处于Ⅲ/Ⅳ期,43例(74%)有B症状,28例(48%)体能状态≥2。HIV阳性患者中B细胞NHL占主导,所有T细胞NHL均发生在HIV阴性个体中。31例HIV阳性患者(84%)在NHL诊断前接受ART治疗的中位时间为9.9个月(四分位间距1.1 - 31.7个月),中位CD4细胞计数为121个/μL(四分位间距61 - 244个/μL),43%的患者HIV RNA得到抑制。与HIV阴性患者相比,HIV阳性患者接受的CHOP疗程数相似,但更频繁地发生3/4级中性粒细胞减少(84%对31%,p = 0.001),导致环磷酰胺和阿霉素剂量略有降低,疗程间隔延长。12个月总生存率(OS)为45%(95%可信区间31% - 57%)。T细胞NHL(风险比3.90,p = 0.017)、血红蛋白(每g/dL风险比0.82,p = 0.017)、白蛋白(每g/dL风险比0.57,p = 0.019)和国际预后指数(IPI,每单位风险比2.02,p<0.001)与死亡率相关。HIV与死亡率无关,在弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤患者中的结果相似。23例死亡由NHL导致(12例HIV阳性,11例HIV阴性),12例由CHOP导致(9例HIV阳性,3例HIV阴性)。对于马拉维有或无HIV感染的侵袭性NHL患者,CHOP方案可能是安全、有效且可行的。
