Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) is a diverse group of lymphomas (10-15% of all non-Hodgkins lymphomas) with aggressive behavior. Despite the standard of 1st line anthracycline-containing regimens, clinical outcomes are poor compared to B-cell lymphomas. In addition, there are still debates about specific prognostic factors (PF) in PTCLs.
Primary endpoints - event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). To evaluate the prognostic significance of five PTCLs scores (International Prognostic Index - IPI, International Peripheral T-cell lymphoma Project Score - IPTCL, Prognostic Index for T-cell lymphoma - PIT, modified Prognostic Index for T-cell lymphoma - mPIT and T-cell score).
From 67 enrolled patients, only 50 were included: PTCL not otherwise specified (22, 44%), anaplastic large cell lymphoma ALK+ (anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive) (10, 20%) and ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase-negative) (18, 36%). Patients received CHOP-like regimens (CHOP, CHOEP, EPOCH).
The overall rate response was observed in 66% of cases (complete response 78%). There were 48% of relapses after the 1st line therapy during follow-up (median 11 months; range 1-85 months). Median age 57 (range 22-80) with male predominance 62%. In total, 40% of patients were > 60 years old, 48% had stage III-IV. Majority of patients were assessed by five prognostic scores. IPI (45 patients): the 3-year EFS and OS were higher for IPI 1 vs. IPI > 2 (80 vs. 18% and 87 vs. 27%, respectively; p = 0.0002). Receiver operating characteristic analysis confirmed poor clinical outcome to patients with PF > 1 (Se = 88 %; Sp = 68 %; AUC = 0.7; p = 0.0081). IPTCLP (41 patients): the presence of PF = 1-2 showed EFS and OS reduction. A 3-year EFS rate for 1-2 PF was 25 vs. 70% for PF = 0 (p = 0.003). Thus, 3-year OS in patients with PF = 0 vs. PF = 1-2 was 100 vs. 20% (p = 0.0001). PIT (42 patients): better 3-year EFS and OS in patients with PF = 0 vs. PF = 1-3 (88 vs. 28% and 100 vs. 34%, respectively, p = 0.001). Patients with PF = 1-3 have a higher rate of relapses vs. PF = 0 (p = 0.0005 by Cox-test). mPIT (21 patients): no significant difference between PF and clinical outcomes. T-cell score (18 patients): higher survival rates with PF 2. More than 2 PF have an impact on EFS (p = 0.005). The 3-years OS in patients with PF 2 was 77 vs. 25% in cases with PF 3 (p = 0.001).
IPI, PIT, IPTCLP are still very useful in defining risk stratification. As to mPIT and T-cell score, more patients to evaluate their prognostication possibility are needed.
外周T细胞淋巴瘤(PTCLs)是一组异质性淋巴瘤(占所有非霍奇金淋巴瘤的10 - 15%),具有侵袭性。尽管一线含蒽环类药物方案是标准治疗,但与B细胞淋巴瘤相比,临床结局较差。此外,关于PTCLs的特定预后因素(PF)仍存在争议。
主要终点——无事件生存期(EFS)和总生存期(OS)。评估五个PTCLs评分(国际预后指数 - IPI、国际外周T细胞淋巴瘤项目评分 - IPTCL、T细胞淋巴瘤预后指数 - PIT、改良T细胞淋巴瘤预后指数 - mPIT和T细胞评分)的预后意义。
67名入组患者中,仅50名被纳入:未另行指定的PTCL(22例,44%);间变性大细胞淋巴瘤ALK +(间变性淋巴瘤激酶阳性)(10例,20%)和ALK(间变性淋巴瘤激酶阴性)(18例,36%)。患者接受类似CHOP的方案(CHOP、CHOEP、EPOCH)。
66%的病例观察到总体缓解率(完全缓解率78%)。随访期间一线治疗后有48%的复发(中位时间11个月;范围1 - 85个月)。中位年龄57岁(范围22 - 80岁),男性占62%。总共有40%的患者年龄>60岁,48%为III - IV期。大多数患者通过五个预后评分进行评估。IPI(45例患者):IPI 1组的3年EFS和OS高于IPI>2组(分别为80%对18%和87%对27%;p = 0.0002)。受试者工作特征分析证实PF>1的患者临床结局较差(Se = 88%;Sp = 68%;AUC = 0.7;p = 0.0081)。IPTCLP(41例患者):PF = 1 - 2的患者EFS和OS降低。PF = 1 - 2的患者3年EFS率为25%,而PF = 0的患者为70%(p = 0.003)。因此,PF = 0与PF = 1 - 2的患者3年OS分别为100%对20%(p = 0.0001)。PIT(42例患者):PF = 0的患者3年EFS和OS优于PF = 1 - 3的患者(分别为88%对28%和100%对34%,p = 0.001)。PF = 1 - 3的患者复发率高于PF = 0的患者(Cox检验p = 0.0005)。mPIT(21例患者):PF与临床结局之间无显著差异。T细胞评分(18例患者):PF≤2的患者生存率较高。PF>2对EFS有影响(p = 0.005)。PF≤2的患者3年OS为
