Vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL) is usually treated with a combination of intraocular methotrexate (ioMTX), high-dose intravenous methotrexate (HD-MTX), or local radiotherapy (RT) as the first options. The effectiveness and safety of monotherapy like bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) for PVRL remain uncertain.
A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trial data and conference abstracts in VRL patients treated with first-line combination therapy or monotherapy were conducted through a search of PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases until December 2022. A total of 24 studies comprising 517 patients were included, and survival data were extracted from 279 patients due to inconsistent units across studies.
The combined treatment group used ioMTX + chemotherapy (in 4 studies), RT + chemotherapy (in 2 studies), ioMTX/HD-MTX based regimen (in 2 studies), ioMTX + RT + chemotherapy (in 2 studies), ioMTX + lenalidomide/BTKi (in 2 studies) and combination of multiple therapies (in 7 studies). The monotherapy group was mainly treated with oral monotherapies such as BTKi. The combination therapy had a higher overall response rate (ORR) and complete response rate (CRR) than monotherapy (ORR: 96% vs. 72%, CRR: 92% vs. 63%). Combination therapy also resulted in a longer median progression-free survival (28.8 months vs. 13 months, p = 0.012). However, the combination therapy group had more severe side effects (grade 3/4 toxicity) than the monotherapy group (45% vs. 8%).
The study showed combination therapy had better OR and CR rates, longer survival, and more toxicity than monotherapy. While BTK inhibitors were well-tolerated, long-term effectiveness needs confirmation from prospective studies. In addition, given the small number of studies of monotherapy for VRL, more studies are needed to validate its effects.

眼内淋巴瘤(VRL)通常采用眼内甲氨蝶呤(ioMTX)、大剂量静脉甲氨蝶呤(HD-MTX)和局部放疗(RT)联合治疗作为首选方案。对于原发性 VRL 患者,单药治疗如 Bruton 酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(BTKi)的疗效和安全性仍不确定。
通过检索 PubMed、Embase 和 Scopus 数据库,对一线联合治疗或单药治疗 VRL 患者的临床试验数据和会议摘要进行系统评价和荟萃分析,检索截止日期为 2022 年 12 月。共纳入 24 项研究,包括 517 例患者,由于研究间单位不一致,从 279 例患者中提取生存数据。
联合治疗组采用 ioMTX+化疗(4 项研究)、RT+化疗(2 项研究)、基于 ioMTX/HD-MTX 的方案(2 项研究)、ioMTX/HD-MTX+RT+化疗(2 项研究)、ioMTX+来那度胺/BTKi(2 项研究)和多种疗法联合(7 项研究)。单药治疗组主要采用 BTKi 等口服单药治疗。联合治疗组的总缓解率(ORR)和完全缓解率(CRR)高于单药治疗组(ORR:96% vs. 72%,CRR:92% vs. 63%)。联合治疗组的中位无进展生存期(PFS)也更长(28.8 个月 vs. 13 个月,p=0.012)。然而,联合治疗组的不良反应(3/4 级毒性)发生率高于单药治疗组(45% vs. 8%)。
该研究表明,与单药治疗相比,联合治疗具有更高的 OR 和 CR 率、更长的生存期和更多的毒性。BTKi 抑制剂具有良好的耐受性,但长期疗效仍需前瞻性研究证实。此外,由于原发性 VRL 单药治疗的研究数量较少,还需要更多的研究来验证其疗效。
