ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) comprises subgroups harboring rearrangements of DUSP22 (DUSP22- R) or TP63 (TP63-R). Two studies reported 90% and 40% 5-year overall survival (OS) rates in 21 and 12 DUSP22-R/TP63- not rearranged (NR) patients, respectively, making the prognostic impact of DUSP22-R unclear. Here, 104 newly diagnosed ALK-negative ALCL patients (including 37 from first-line clinical trials) from the LYSA TENOMIC database were analyzed by break-apart fluorescence in situ hybridization assays for DUSP22-R and TP63-R. There were 47/104 (45%) DUSP22-R and 2/93 (2%) TP63-R cases, including one DUSP22-R/TP63-R case. DUSP22-R tumors more frequently showed CD3 expression (62% vs. 35%, P=0.01), and less commonly a cytotoxic phenotype (27% vs. 82%; P<0.001). At diagnosis, DUSP22- R ALCL patients more frequently had bone involvement (32% vs. 13%, P=0.03). The patient with DUSP22-R/TP63-R ALCL had a rapidly fatal outcome. After a median follow-up of 4.9 years, 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and OS rates of 84 patients without TP63-R treated with curative-intent anthracycline-based chemotherapy were 41% and 53%, respectively. According to DUSP22 status, 5-year PFS was 57% for 39 DUSP22-R versus 26% for 45 triple-negative (DUSP22-NR/TP63-NR/ALK-negative) patients (P=0.001). The corresponding 5-year OS rates were 65% and 41%, respectively (P=0.07). In multivariate analysis, performance status and DUSP22 status significantly affected PFS, and distinguished four risk groups, with 4-year PFS and OS ranging from 17% to 73% and 21% to 77%, respectively. Performance status but not DUSP22 status influenced OS. The use of brentuximab vedotin in relapsed/refractory patients improved OS independently of DUSP22 status. Our findings support the biological and clinical distinctiveness of DUSP22- R ALK-negative ALCL. Its relevance to outcome in patients receiving frontline brentuximab vedotin remains to be determined.
ALK 阴性间变大细胞淋巴瘤(ALK-N)包括存在 DUSP22(DUSP22-R)或 TP63(TP63-R)重排的亚组。两项研究分别报道了 21 例和 12 例 DUSP22-R/TP63-NR 患者的 5 年总生存率(OS)为 90%和 40%,这使得 DUSP22-R 的预后影响仍不清楚。在此,我们对 LYSA TENOMIC 数据库中的 104 例新诊断的 ALK-N ALCL 患者(包括 37 例来自一线临床试验的患者)进行了 DUSP22-R 和 TP63-R 的分离荧光原位杂交分析。47/104(45%)例患者存在 DUSP22-R,2/93(2%)例患者存在 TP63-R,包括 1 例 DUSP22-R/TP63-R 患者。DUSP22-R 肿瘤更常表达 CD3(62% vs. 35%,P=0.01),较少表现为细胞毒性表型(27% vs. 82%;P<0.001)。在诊断时,DUSP22-R ALCL 患者更常出现骨受累(32% vs. 13%,P=0.03)。携带 DUSP22-R/TP63-R ALCL 的患者有快速致命的结局。中位随访 4.9 年后,接受根治性蒽环类药物为基础的化疗的 104 例无 TP63-R 患者的 5 年无进展生存(PFS)和 OS 率分别为 41%和 53%。根据 DUSP22 状态,39 例 DUSP22-R 患者的 5 年 PFS 为 57%,而 45 例三阴性(DUSP22-NR/TP63-NR/ALK-N)患者的 5 年 PFS 为 26%(P=0.001)。相应的 5 年 OS 率分别为 65%和 41%(P=0.07)。多因素分析显示,表现状态和 DUSP22 状态显著影响 PFS,并区分了四个风险组,4 年 PFS 和 OS 分别为 17%至 73%和 21%至 77%。表现状态而非 DUSP22 状态影响 OS。在复发性/难治性患者中使用 Brentuximab Vedotin 可改善 OS,独立于 DUSP22 状态。我们的研究结果支持 DUSP22-R ALK-N ALCL 的生物学和临床独特性。其在接受一线 Brentuximab Vedotin 治疗的患者中的相关性仍有待确定。
