We analyzed metabolic response using interim positron emission tomography scan (iPET) in a subset of patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) enrolled in the randomized FOLL12 trial. Patients with grade 1-3a FL with an iPET performed between cycles 4 and 5 of first-line immunochemotherapy (ICT) were included; PET scan had to be centrally reviewed for the definition of Deauville score (DS) and were considered positive for DS 4-5. Overall 123 patients out of 211 with iPET were available for central review. Of these, 43% were older than 60, 33% had high-risk FLIPI2, and 47% received rituximab-bendamustine as the induction regimen. iPET showed a complete metabolic response (CMR) in 83% of cases. CMR at the end-of-induction therapy PET scan (eoiPET) was confirmed in 91% of iPET-negative patients. The 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) was 70% for iPET-negative and 34% for iPET-positive cases. In multivariate analysis, positive iPET was an independent prognostic factor for PFS. Combining iPET and eoiPET, the 3-year PFS was 78% for both negative iPET and eoiPET, with a reduced risk of progression compared to double-positive iPET/eoiPET cases. The 5-year overall survival rate was 96% for iPET-negative and 85% for DS 4-5. Our results confirm that iPET in patients with FL treated with standard ICT is a strong prognostic factor. Assessment of early metabolic response in FL may be considered for defining a novel generation of early response-adapted trials in FL. This trial was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT02063685.
我们在纳入随机FOLL12试验的一部分滤泡性淋巴瘤(FL)患者中,使用中期正电子发射断层扫描(iPET)分析了代谢反应。纳入标准为1-3a级FL患者,且在一线免疫化疗(ICT)的第4和第5周期之间进行了iPET检查;PET扫描必须进行中心阅片以确定Deauville评分(DS),DS 4-5被视为阳性。211例接受iPET检查的患者中,共有123例可供中心阅片。其中,43%的患者年龄超过60岁,33%的患者具有高危FLIPI2,47%的患者接受利妥昔单抗-苯达莫司汀作为诱导方案。iPET显示83%的病例有完全代谢缓解(CMR)。诱导治疗结束时PET扫描(eoiPET)的CMR在91%的iPET阴性患者中得到证实。iPET阴性患者的5年无进展生存期(PFS)为70%,iPET阳性患者为34%。多因素分析显示,iPET阳性是PFS的独立预后因素。结合iPET和eoiPET,iPET和eoiPET均为阴性的患者3年PFS为78%,与iPET/eoiPET均为阳性的病例相比,进展风险降低。iPET阴性患者的5年总生存率为96%,DS 4-5患者为85%。我们的结果证实,接受标准ICT治疗的FL患者的iPET是一个强有力的预后因素。评估FL的早期代谢反应可考虑用于定义新一代FL早期反应适应性试验。该试验已在www.ClinicalTrials.gov上注册,注册号为#NCT02063685。
