Rituximab after autologous stem cell transplantation enhances survival of B-cell lymphoma patients: a meta-analysis and systematic review. Transplant Proc 2015; 47:517-22. [PMID: 25769600 DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2014.11.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2014] [Revised: 10/28/2014] [Accepted: 11/19/2014] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of rituximab before autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, but the few studies on rituximab treatment after ASCT have not established conclusively the clinical benefits of this particular treatment regimen. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a metaanalysis of 3 comparative studies encompassing 407 lymphoma patients treated with rituximab after ASCT. RESULTS Combined results revealed a significantly higher event-free survival (EFS) in the rituximab-treated (R+) group compared with the R- group (P = .003 at 1 year; P = .03 at 3 years; P = .001 at 4 years). Moreover, the R+ group also demonstrated higher overall survival (OS) and complete remission (CR) rates (P = .0006 and P < .0001, respectively, at 1 year) without a significant increase in adverse events. CONCLUSIONS According to the included articles, there were no differences in CR, overall response, 3-year EFS, or 3-year OS between rituximab-naïve patients and patients previously treated with rituximab before ASCT. Post-ASCT maintenance regimens including rituximab show increased EFS, OS, and CR.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) accounts for only 3% of brain tumors. It can involve the brain parenchyma, leptomeninges, eyes and the spinal cord. Unlike systemic lymphoma, durable remissions remain uncommon. Although phase III trials in this rare disease are difficult to perform, many phase II trials have attempted to define standards of care. Treatment modalities for patients with newly diagnosed PCNSL include radiation and/or chemotherapy. While the role of radiation therapy for initial management of PCNSL is controversial, clinical trials will attempt to improve the therapeutic index of this modality. Routes of chemotherapy administration include intravenous, intraocular, intraventricular or intra-arterial. Multiple trials have outlined different methotrexate-based chemotherapy regimens and have used local techniques to improve drug delivery. A major challenge in the management of patients with PCNSL remains the delivery of aggressive treatment with preservation of neurocognitive function. Because PCNSL is rare, it is important to perform multicenter clinical trials and to incorporate detailed measurements of long-term toxicities. In this review we focus on different chemotherapeutic approaches for immunocompetent patients with newly diagnosed PCNSL and discuss the role of local drug delivery in addition to systemic therapy. We also address the neurocognitive toxicity of treatment.

Abstract
We compared outcomes of 916 diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients aged >or=18 years undergoing first autologous (n = 837) or myeloablative (MA) allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) (n = 79) between 1995 and 2003 reported to the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR). Median follow-up was 81 months for allogeneic HCT versus 60 months for autologous HCT. Allogeneic HCT recipients were more likely to have high-risk disease features including higher stage, more prior chemotherapy regimens, and resistant disease. Allogeneic HCT was associated with a higher 1 year treatment-related mortality (TRM) (relative risk [RR] 4.88, 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.21-7.40, P < .001), treatment failure (RR 2.06, 95% CI, 1.54-2.75, P < .001), and mortality (RR 2.75, 95% CI, 2.03-3.72, P < .001). Risk of disease progression was similar in the 2 groups (RR 1.12, 95% CI, 0.73-1.72, P = .59). In fact, for 1-year survivors, no significant differences were observed for TRM, progression, progression-free (PFS) or overall survival (OS). Increased risks of TRM and mortality were associated with older age (>50 years), lower performance score, chemoresistance, and earlier year of transplant. In a cohort of mainly high-risk DLBCL patients, upfront MA allogeneic HCT, although associated with increased early mortality, was associated with a similar risk of disease progression compared to lower risk patients receiving autologous HCT.

Abstract
The major cause of treatment failure following high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for aggressive B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is persistent disease or recurrence. We describe our experience with the administration of rituximab post-ASCT, either as maintenance therapy or for the treatment of relapsed disease in patients with aggressive B cell NHL. Fifty-six patients achieved complete remission post-transplant, and 19 of them received maintenance with rituximab. Maintenance with rituximab resulted in statistically significant superior outcome in terms of progression free (PFS; p = 0.002) and overall survival (OS; p = 0.011). The median PFS and OS of patients in the maintenance arm has not been reached yet, while the median PFS and OS of patients in the control arm were 29 and 42 months, respectively. Fifty-four patients had disease progression or relapsed post-ASCT, and 15 of them received rituximab in combination with chemo- and/or radiotherapy in order to achieve disease remission. Therapeutic administration of rituximab resulted in statistically significant prolongation of OS (p = 0.021). The median OS of patients treated with rituximab was 17 months, while median OS of patients in the control group was 10 months. We consider that the results of our study are promising but need to be verified within large randomized trials.

Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy followed by blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) is generally considered the best salvage option for patients with relapsed diffuse large-B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (DLCL). The relative roles for allogeneic and autologous BMT remain controversial. We reviewed the clinical outcome of 183 patients with relapsed DLCL who underwent BMT at Johns Hopkins University in 1985-2001. A total of 45 patients received T-cell-depleted HLA-matched allogeneic bone marrow (allo-BMT), and 138 patients received autologous marrow or peripheral blood stem cells (auto-BMT). The allo-BMT recipients had a higher proportion of patients with chemoresistant disease (P = .004) and had received more chemotherapy before BMT (P = .02). The auto-BMT recipients were older (P < .001) and were of more advanced-stage disease (P = .01). The 3-year overall survival (OS) was 23.7% (median survival, 129 days) after allo-BMT and 33.1% (median survival, 263 days), after auto-BMT (log-rank, P = .17). The 3-year OS for patients with sensitive disease was 51.9% after allo-BMT and 46.2% after auto-BMT (log-rank, P = .38). For patients with resistant disease, the 3-year OS was 12.1% after allo-BMT and 19.1% after auto-BMT (log rank, P = .08). In multivariate analysis, significant predictors of death were disease sensitivity (hazard rate [HR], 0.3; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.2-04; P < .001), age >40 years (HR, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.7-3.4; P < .001), and stage at diagnosis (HR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.0-1.4; P = .04). The 3-year event-free survival (EFS) for patients with sensitive disease was 52.7% after allo-BMT and 42.0% after auto-BMT (log-rank, P = .29). For patients with resistant disease, the 3-year EFS was 6.2% after allo-BMT and 19.4% after auto-BMT (log-rank, P = .1). The 3-year probability of relapse for chemosensitive patients was 30% after allo-BMT and 46.1% after auto-BMT (log-rank, P = .25). The 3-year relapse rate in patients with resistant disease was 75.0% after allo-BMT and 69.9% after auto-BMT (log-rank, P = .58). In multivariate analysis, only disease sensitivity status (HR, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.2-2.1; P < .001) and age >40 years (HR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.1-2.9; P = .03) appear to have a significant impact on relapse. Transplant-related mortality (TRM) was the cause of death for 51.1% of allo-BMT recipients and 23.9% of auto-BMT recipients (P < .001). Mortality from lymphoma was 26.6% in allo-BMT recipients and 43.5% in auto-BMT recipients (P = .02). Auto-BMT and allo-BMT produced similar survival for patients with relapsed DLCL. For patients with sensitive disease, allo-BMT seemed to provide longer survival with less relapse; however, this was achieved at the cost of greater TRM.

Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the overall survival period of adult lymphoblastic lymphoma patients treated with various therapeutic regimens, and to assess the determinants affecting survival outcome. Twenty-five adult patients with lymphoblastic lymphoma who had been treated at Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea from June 1996 to June 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. As an initial remission induction chemotherapy, the hyper-CVAD regimen was performed in eight patients, the Stanford/Northern California Oncology Group (NCOG) regimen in five, the CAVOP regimen in four, the m-BACOP regimen in three, and the CHOP regimen in one patient. Patients were divided into two groups according to their therapeutic modalities. Twenty patients received conventional chemotherapy alone and five received subsequent PBSCT after conventional chemotherapy. Four patients of the PBSCT group underwent autologous PBSCT and one underwent allogeneic PBSCT. The overall response rate was 80% (60% showing a complete response, 20% showing a partial response) and the relapse rate was 73.3%. The overall survival (OS) rate was 55.1% at 1 year, 31.5% at 5 years, and 23.6% at 9 years. The disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 46.7% at 1 year and 30.0% at 7 years. The 5-year OS rate in relation to the regimens was 60% with the Stanford/NCOG regimen, 50% with the CAVOP regimen, and 33.3% with the m-BACOP regimen. The patients treated with the hyper-CVAD regimen had an 18.2% 2-year OS rate, and other patients with CHOP or COPBLAM-V expired early in their course. The OS rate in patients treated with conventional chemotherapy alone was 19.8%, whereas patients treated with subsequent PBSCT after chemotherapy showed 50% overall survival (p=0.25). The age at presentation influenced the outcome of the patients (p=0.01). The Stanford/NCOG regimen is an effective initial choice of therapy for lymphoblastic lymphoma patients, and is superior to the hyper-CVAD regimen in complete response rate and overall survival rate (p =0.36). Addition of PBSCT after chemotherapy may be needed for achieving optimal outcomes.

Abstract
Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is commonly used in the treatment of leukemia, however its therapeutic application is partly limited by the high incidence of associated opportunistic infections. We modeled this clinical situation by infecting mice that underwent BMT with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) and investigated the potential of immunotherapeutic strategies to counter such infections. All mice that received BMT survived LCMV infection and developed a virus carrier status. Immunotherapy by adoptive transfer of naive splenocytes protected against low (200 PFU), but not high (2 x 10(6) PFU), doses of LCMV. Attempts to control infection of high viral titers using strongly elevated frequencies of activated LCMV-specific T cells failed to control virus and resulted in immunopathology and death. In contrast, virus neutralizing Abs combined with naive splenocytes were able to efficiently control high-dose LCMV infection without associated side effects. Thus, cell transfer combined with neutralizing Abs represented the most effective means of controlling BMT-associated opportunistic viral infection in our in vivo model. These data underscore the in vivo efficacy and immunopathological "safety" of neutralizing antibodies.

Abstract
Although autologous stem cell transplantation for Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has become a safe and effective therapy, relapses after transplant are common. Emerging data indicate that an increasing number of patients can be re-induced into durable complete remission. Conventional dose- salvage chemotherapy and single-agent monoclonal antibody treatment provided limited success, but combination chemotherapy-monoclonal antibody treatments, second autografts, and reduced-intensity conditioning allografts provide encouraging results. For some patients, the best strategy may consist of participation in phase I to II studies of novel agents. New strategies designed to prevent relapse after autograft include cytokine therapy such as interleukin-2 in combination with monoclonal antibodies and the use of autologous antilymphoma vaccines.

Abstract
We designed a phase I trial to assess the feasibility of the combination of topotecan, Ara-C, cisplatin and solumedrol (TOPOSHAP) in patients with relapsed or primary refractory lymphomas. We included 9 patients with measurable non-Hodgkin's (n = 8) and Hodgkin's (n = 1) lymphomas. Level 1 consisted of topotecan 1.0 mg/m(2)/day, i.v., given on days 1-3, cisplatin 25 mg/m(2)/day, i.v., on days 1-3, Ara-C 500 mg/m(2), i.v., on day 4, methylprednisolone 250 mg, i.v., on days 1-4. The regimen was repeated every 3-4 weeks. The maximum tolerated dose was already reached at level 1. G-CSF was added systematically after the 5th patient was included. The most significant toxicity in this trial was hematologic (all had neutropenia WHO grade 4 and 7 had grade 4 thrombocytopenia). Three patients had neutropenic fever. We observed two instances of WHO grade 3 and one of grade 4 diarrhea. Two patients achieved a complete response and 6 a partial response. We conclude that TOPOSHAP with G-CSF support is feasible and should be further studied in phase II studies.

Abstract
Previous work suggested that interleukin (IL)-2 can be used for eradicating residual disease in autologous grafts and for preventing recurrence. We report a phase II study of autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation with in vitro IL-2 incubation of peripheral blood stem cells and posttransplantation IL-2 in patients with recurrent or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Salvage chemotherapy consisted of ifosfamide and etoposide. Responding patients underwent autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. IL-2-incubated stem cells were infused on day 0. IL-2 1 mIU/m2 was given from day 1 until day 28. Four monthly maintenance cycles of IL-2 4 mIU/m2 subcutaneously twice daily days 1 to 5 and days 8 to 11 were administered thereafter. Eighty-four evaluable patients were enrolled, and 60 proceeded to transplantation, of which 56 received IL-2-incubated stem cells. The average received dose of posttransplantation IL-2 was 30% to 50% of planned. Only 42 patients received maintenance IL-2. The average received maintenance dose of IL-2 was also approximately 30% of planned. Most dose reductions were due to toxicity or patient refusal. Three-year survival and progression-free survival for all registered patients were 43% (95% confidence interval [CI], 33%-53%) and 31% (95% CI, 21%-41%), respectively. For the 60 patients undergoing transplantation, they were 59% (95% CI, 46%-72%) and 44% (95% CI, 31%-57%), respectively. There was no relation between the dose of IL-2 received and outcome. Survival and disease-free survival of the study group were similar to those of a previous study cohort that received unmanipulated stem cells and no systemic IL-2. Administration of IL-2-incubated peripheral blood stem cells and intensive posttransplantation IL-2 was associated with considerable but rapidly reversible toxicity. No effect on long-term outcome was observed.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCTs) are considered the best treatment option for many hematological malignancies, and transplant numbers have increased five-fold during the last decade. Only a few controlled prospective studies are available, and different opinions prevail. Data from 118 167 HSCT (36% allogeneic, 64% autologous) collected within the EBMT activity survey from 1990 to 2001 were used to assess trends over time, transplant rates and coefficient of variation (CV) of transplant rates among European countries for acute myeloid leukemia (AML; 18.5%), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL; 12%), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML; 11.5%), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS; 3%), lymphoproliferative disorders (LPS; 36.3%) and multiple myeloma (MM; 18.7%). Transplant rates increased in all countries and for all indications from 1990 to 2001 from 1.7-fold (CML) to 24.8-fold (MM). Transplant rates have declined for CML since 1999. Autologous HSCT are the preferred choice for LPS and MM, allogeneic HSCT for ALL and myeloid malignancies. CVs of less than 50% suggest consensus for allogeneic HSCT in AML, ALL, CML, MDS and NHL, for autologous HSCT in LPS and MM. These data give an overview of the current status of HSCT for hematological malignancies in Europe and provide objective information for health-care providers and patient counselling.
