Brentuximab-vedotin (BV) monotherapy has shown high efficacy in heavily pre-treated patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) after high-dose chemotherapy or autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of treatment with BV of HL patients and examined the predictive ability of PET-CT for response in this setting.
Records of 49 HL patients (median age, 39 years, 55% male) treated with BV for relapse (71.4%) or consolidation (28.6%) post-ASCT were analyzed. Patients who did not reach complete response (CR) on PET/CT after 4 cycles (non-responders) discontinued BV and received the next treatment line. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were compared between responders and non-responders.
After a median follow-up of 19.1 months, all consolidation patients were alive and none progressed. Median OS in 23 relapsed patients that did not achieve CR after 4 cycles and continued to the next treatment was 55.0 months, while all those in CR (n = 24) were alive (P = .0120). No statistically significant differences in OS were observed between responders and non-responders with relapsed HL (P = .1072). Median PFS evaluated after 4 BV cycles was significantly longer in responders compared to non-responders (47.9 vs. 1.5 months, P < .0001). Neuropathy and neutropenia were the main toxicities observed.
HL patients treated with BV for relapse or consolidation who achieved CR by PET-CT after 4 cycles showed improved PFS and OS compared to non-responders. Non-responders treated for relapsed HL who proceeded to the next treatment line demonstrated comparable OS to responders.
博纳吐单抗-依喜替康(BV)单药治疗在接受高剂量化疗或自体干细胞移植(ASCT)后复发或难治性霍奇金淋巴瘤(HL)的重度预处理患者中显示出高疗效。我们回顾性分析了 BV 治疗 HL 患者的结果,并检查了 PET-CT 在该情况下预测反应的能力。
分析了 49 例接受 BV 治疗复发(71.4%)或 ASCT 后巩固(28.6%)的 HL 患者的记录。在 4 个周期后 PET/CT 未达到完全缓解(CR)的患者(无反应者)停止使用 BV 并接受下一线治疗。比较了 responders 和 non-responders 的总生存期(OS)和无进展生存期(PFS)。
中位随访 19.1 个月后,所有巩固治疗患者均存活且无进展。23 例 4 个周期后未达到 CR 且继续下一线治疗的复发患者的中位 OS 为 55.0 个月,而所有 CR 患者(n=24)均存活(P=0.0120)。在 4 个 BV 周期后达到 CR 的 responders和未达到 CR 的 non-responders 的 OS 无统计学差异(P=0.1072)。4 个 BV 周期后评估的 PFS 在 responders 中明显长于 non-responders(47.9 与 1.5 个月,P<0.0001)。主要毒性反应为神经病变和中性粒细胞减少。
在 4 个周期后通过 PET-CT 达到 CR 的接受 BV 治疗复发或巩固的 HL 患者与 non-responders 相比,PFS 和 OS 得到改善。接受下一线治疗的复发 HL 的 non-responders 的 OS 与 responders相当。
