The incorporation of anti-GD2 antibodies such as ch14.18/SP2/0 into the multimodal treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB) patients has improved their outcomes. As studies assessing the long-term outcomes, long-term sequelae, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of this treatment are limited, this retrospective analysis aimed to explore these.
Between 1991 and 2002, 65 children received a multimodal treatment, including ch14.18/SP2/0, for primary HR-NB. All received chemotherapy according to the NB90/NB97 trial, 51 received high-dose chemotherapy, and all received ch14.18/SP2/0 treatment. We analyzed the long-term sequelae and HRQoL (EORTC QLQ-C30), and evaluated overall and event-free survival (OS/EFS).
Twenty-five survivors were evaluated for HRQoL and long-term effects. All reported long-term sequelae, including ototoxicity in 16/25 (64%), cardiac toxicity in 6/25 (24%), and endocrine toxicity in 19/25 (76%) patients. Chronic diarrhea was reported in 20% of female patients. Seven patients developed autoimmune diseases. HRQoL scores were better across multiple scales than those of the matched German general population. Twenty-five-year OS and EFS were 50.8% (95% confidence interval: 31-55) and 43% (30.1-55.3), with 33 (50.8%) long-term survivors. Thirty-two patients died: 28 (43.1%) because of progression/relapse and 4 (6.2%) because of secondary neoplasms.
Multimodal treatment, including ch14.18/SP2/0, can achieve long-term survival in HR-NB patients, with a substantial proportion of survivors reporting better HRQoL compared to the general population. All patients reported long-term side effects mostly attributable to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The relatively high prevalence of autoimmune diseases and persistent diarrhea warrants additional longitudinal research on individuals treated with anti-GD2 antibodies.
将抗GD2抗体(如ch14.18/SP2/0)纳入高危神经母细胞瘤(HR-NB)患者的多模式治疗中,已改善了他们的治疗结果。由于评估这种治疗的长期结果、长期后遗症以及健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)的研究有限,这项回顾性分析旨在探索这些方面。
1991年至2002年间,65名儿童因原发性HR-NB接受了包括ch14.18/SP2/0的多模式治疗。所有患者均根据NB90/NB97试验接受化疗,51名接受了大剂量化疗,且所有患者均接受了ch14.18/SP2/0治疗。我们分析了长期后遗症和HRQoL(欧洲癌症研究与治疗组织核心生活质量问卷QLQ-C30),并评估了总生存率和无事件生存率(OS/EFS)。
对25名幸存者进行了HRQoL和长期影响评估。所有患者均报告有长期后遗症,包括16/25(64%)的患者出现耳毒性,6/25(24%)的患者出现心脏毒性,19/25(76%)的患者出现内分泌毒性。20%的女性患者报告有慢性腹泻。7名患者患上自身免疫性疾病。多个量表的HRQoL评分均优于匹配的德国普通人群。25年总生存率和无事件生存率分别为50.8%(95%置信区间:31-55)和43%(30.1-55.3),有33名(50.8%)长期幸存者。32名患者死亡:28名(43.1%)死于疾病进展/复发,4名(6.2%)死于继发性肿瘤。
包括ch14.18/SP2/0的多模式治疗可使HR-NB患者实现长期生存,相当一部分幸存者报告的HRQoL优于普通人群。所有患者均报告有主要归因于化疗和放疗的长期副作用。自身免疫性疾病和持续性腹泻的相对高患病率需要对接受抗GD2抗体治疗的个体进行更多纵向研究。
