Comparison between filgrastim biosimilar and filgrastim original for the management of neutropenia after salvage chemotherapy for malignant lymphoma. Int J Hematol 2022; 116:856-862. [PMID: 35976562 DOI: 10.1007/s12185-022-03438-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
In this study, the efficacy and safety of filgrastim biosimilar (F-BS) were retrospectively compared to those of filgrastim original in the treatment of malignant lymphoma with CHASE (± R) or DeVIC(± R) in 78 patients. The median number of filgrastim doses was 11 in the F-BS group and 8 in the filgrastim group after CHASE (± R) (p = 0.8), and 10 in the F-BS group and 10 in the filgrastim group after DeVIC (± R) (p = 0.45). The median days until neutrophil recovery to ≥ 1000/μL was 10 days with F-BS versus 10 days with filgrastim after CHASE ± R (p = 0.59), and 9 days with F-BS versus 10 days with filgrastim after DeVIC ± R (p = 0.828). Febrile neutropenia (FN) was observed in 5 patients (41.7%) in the F-BS group and 9 (52.9%) in the filgrastim group after CHASE ± R therapy (p = 0.616), and in 11 patients (36.7%) in the F-BS group and 9 (47.4%) in the filgrastim group after DeVIC ± R (p = 0.462). The present results suggest that the efficacy and safety of F-BS are comparable to those of filgrastim original, with no significant differences in clinical factors. Use of F-BS also reduced medical costs per course of CHASE ± R therapy by 170.22 US dollars.

Bendamustine plus rituximab in Japanese patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Ann Hematol 2022; 101:979-989. [PMID: 35244756 PMCID: PMC8993776 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-022-04801-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2021] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
This single-arm phase 3 study was conducted to confirm the results of our phase 2 study of bendamustine (B)-rituximab (R) in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (rrDLBCL). The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR). Autologous stem cell transplantation-ineligible rrDLBCL patients with ≤ 2 prior chemotherapy regimens received R 375 mg/m2 IV on day 1 and B 120 mg/m2/day IV on days 2 and 3 every 21 days up to 6 cycles. Thirty-eight patients with a median age of 74 years (range, 43–86) received BR. The ORR and complete response rates were 76.3% and 47.4%, respectively. With a median follow-up of 19.5 months including long-term follow-up, median progression-free survival was 11.9 months. Median OS was 29.2 months. Discontinuation of treatment due to Gr3-5 TEAE was observed among 13 of 38 patients (34.2%). One patient with cytomegalovirus enterocolitis died during follow-up. This BR regimen was confirmed to be effective and tolerable in studied patients. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03372837 registered on 14 December 2017, NCT04354402 registered on 21 April, 2020.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma having 8q24/MYC rearrangement in Japan. Hematol Oncol 2020; 39:66-74. [PMID: 32979280 DOI: 10.1002/hon.2811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2020] [Revised: 08/13/2020] [Accepted: 09/17/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
The prognosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) having MYC rearrangement (MYC-R), including double hit lymphoma (DHL), is poor by standard immunochemotherapy. To evaluate the significance of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) for DLBCL with MYC-R, we retrospectively analyzed Japanese SCT registry data. In total, 54 patients with DLBCL with MYC-R were identified from 4336 registered adult DLBCL patients. Detailed clinical and cytogenetic information was obtained for 48 patients. The median age at diagnosis of the 48 patients was 54.5 (range 21-67) years. Twenty-six (54%) patients had MYC-R only (single hit), and 22 (46%) had MYC-R and BCL2, and/or BCL6 rearrangement (double/triple hit). In 12 patients who received auto-SCT during the first complete response (CR), both the 2-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 75.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 40.8%-91.2%). In 20 patients who received auto-SCT after relapsed or refractory state, the 2-year OS and PFS rates were 68.2% (95% CI, 41.9%-84.5%) and 59.6% (95% CI, 35.1%-77.4%), respectively. In 17 patients who received allo-SCT, only 4 patients underwent SCT in CR. The 2-year OS and PFS rates were 29.4% (95% CI, 10.7%-51.1%) and 17.6% (95% CI, 4.3%-38.3%), respectively. The rate of non-relapse mortality at 1 year was 41.2% (95% CI, 17.1%-64.0%) in this group. The outcomes of single hit and double or triple hit were not different. These findings suggest that auto-SCT may be effective for MYC-R DLBCL, including DHL patients of chemosensitive relapsed or refractory state. Since most patients received allo-SCT not in CR, the outcome of allo-SCT was unsatisfactory due to high non-relapse mortality and early relapse. To clarify the role of allo-SCT for MYC-R DLBCL, further accumulation of patients is necessary.

Abstract
The efficiency of upfront consolidation with high‐dose chemotherapy/autologous stem‐cell transplantation (HDCT/ASCT) for newly diagnosed high‐risk diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) may be influenced by induction chemotherapy. To select better induction chemotherapy regimens for HDCT/ASCT, a randomized phase II study was conducted in high‐risk DLBCL patients having an age‐adjusted International Prognostic Index (aaIPI) score of 2 or 3. As induction chemotherapy, 6 cycles of R‐CHOP‐14 (arm A) or 3 cycles of R‐CHOP‐14 followed by 3 cycles of CHASER (arm B) were planned, and patients who responded proceeded to HDCT with LEED and ASCT. The primary endpoint was 2‐y progression‐free survival (PFS), and the main secondary endpoints included overall survival, overall response rate, and adverse events (AEs). In total, 71 patients were enrolled. With a median follow‐up of 40.3 mo, 2‐y PFS in arms A and B were 68.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 50.5%‐81.2%) and 66.7% (95% CI: 48.8%‐79.5%), respectively. Overall survival at 2 y in arms A and B was 74.3% (95% CI: 56.4%‐85.7%) and 83.3% (95% CI: 66.6%‐92.1%). Overall response rates were 82.9% in arm A and 69.4% in arm B. During induction chemotherapy, 45.7% and 75.0% of patients in arms A and B, respectively, had grade ≥ 3 non‐hematologic toxicities. One patient in arm A and 6 in arm B discontinued induction chemotherapy due to AEs. In conclusion, R‐CHOP‐14 showed higher 2‐y PFS and less toxicity compared with R‐CHOP‐14/CHASER in patients with high‐risk DLBCL, suggesting the former to be a more promising induction regimen for further investigations (UMIN‐CTR, UMIN000003823).

A multi-center retrospective analysis of patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma after third-line chemotherapy. Ann Hematol 2020; 99:2133-2139. [PMID: 32533251 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-020-04126-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2020] [Accepted: 06/03/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
The overall outcome of patients with advanced-stage follicular lymphoma (FL) has improved significantly. However, some patients still develop multiple relapsed/refractory FL (RRFL). To address the still-limited data on this population, we performed this multi-center retrospective study. We analyzed 41 patients who received third-line treatment for RRFL at 8 institutes. The median age at diagnosis was 59 years (range, 38-70). The median progression-free survival (PFS) and probability of PFS at 2 years were 1.61 years and 39.4%, respectively, after third-line chemotherapy, and 0.45 years and 19.0%, respectively, after fourth-line chemotherapy. Objective response (OR) after third-line chemotherapy was achieved in 24 patients (53.7%). Bendamustine (Ben)-based regimens were associated with a significantly higher OR rate than other regimens (77.8% vs. 40.0%, respectively, P = 0.025). The median overall survival (OS) and probability of OS at 2 years were 4.71 years and 65.9%, respectively, after third-line chemotherapy, and 1.01 year and 45.1%, respectively, after fourth-line chemotherapy. In conclusion, this study had a small sample size and retrospective design, but it was able to demonstrate poor response rate and duration in patients with multiple RRFL, particularly after fourth-line chemotherapy. The optimal treatment strategy in this population should be clarified, including possibly hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
This multicenter phase II study (UMIN000008145) aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of six cycles of combination therapy (RBD) comprising rituximab, bendamustine, and dexamethasone (DEX) for relapsed or refractory (RR) indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Although the initial study protocol comprised 20 mg/body DEX on days 1 and 2, and 10 mg/body on days 3-5 [high-dose (HD-) DEX group], the dose of DEX was later decreased to 8 mg/body on days 1 and 2 [low-dose (LD-) DEX group] due to frequent cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigenemia and recurrent retinitis. We enrolled 33 patients, and LD-DEX and HD-DEX were administered in 15 and 18 patients, respectively. The overall response and the 3-year progression-free survival rates were 88% and 75.5%, respectively. The leading adverse event was myelosuppression. Incidence of grade 3-4 leukocytopenia, neutropenia, and lymphocytopenia was 55%, 67%, and 91%, respectively. The most frequent nonhematological adverse events were CMV antigenemia and rash (33% and 30%, respectively). Incidence of CMV antigenemia over 10/100,000 white blood cells was significantly lower with LD-DEX than that with HD-DEX (P = 0.0127). In conclusion, RBD showed significant effectiveness for RR indolent B-NHL and MCL.

Abstract
A 61-year-old woman exhibited right inguinal lymphadenopathy and right lower limb edema approximately 1 month prior to hospitalization. She was diagnosed with high grade B-cell lymphoma, and a lymph node biopsy and fluorescence in situ hybridization indicated MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 rearrangements (triple-hit lymphoma). She had progressive disease that was CD20-negative after two courses of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, methotrexate/ifosfamide, etoposide, high-dose cytarabine (R-CODOX-M/IVAC) therapy. Subsequent etoposide, prednisolone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin (EPOCH) therapy was not effective. However, after two cycles of gemcitabine, dexamethasone, and cisplatin (GDP) therapy, she achieved a complete response and was able to undergo autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. GDP therapy may be effective as salvage therapy for chemotherapy-resistant triple-hit lymphoma.

Abstract
Although induction immunochemotherapy including high‐dose cytarabine and rituximab followed by high‐dose chemotherapy (HDC) with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is recommended for younger patients (≤65 years old) with untreated mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), no standard induction and HDC regimen has been established. We conducted a phase II study of induction immunochemotherapy of R‐High‐CHOP/CHASER followed by HDC of LEED with ASCT in younger patients with untreated advanced MCL. Eligibility criteria included untreated MCL, stage II bulky to IV, and age 20‐65 years. Patients received 1 cycle of R‐High‐CHOP followed by 3 cycles of CHASER every 3 weeks. Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) were harvested during CHASER. LEED with ASCT was delivered to patients who responded to R‐High‐CHOP/CHASER. Primary endpoint was 2‐year progression‐free survival (PFS). From June 2008 to June 2012, 45 patients (median age 59 years; range 38‐65 years) were enrolled. PBSC were successfully harvested from 36 of 43 patients. Thirty‐five patients completed ASCT. Two‐year PFS was 77% (80% CI 68‐84), which met the primary endpoint. Five‐year PFS and overall survival were 52% (95% CI 34‐68%) and 71% (95% CI 51‐84%), respectively. Overall response and complete response rates after induction immunochemotherapy were 96% and 82%, respectively. The most common grade 4 toxicities were hematological. In younger patients with untreated MCL, R‐High‐CHOP/CHASER/LEED with ASCT showed high efficacy and acceptable toxicity, and it can now be considered a standard treatment option.

Abstract
Primary infection with human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) commonly occurs at an early age in children, most often at 3 years of age, and is associated with childhood diseases, such as exanthema subitum, hepatitis, febrile convulsions, or encephalitis. However, the virus occasionally reactivates from its latent state in immunosuppressed adults, especially post-transplant, resulting in serious disseminated, sometimes life-threatening end-organ complications. Herein, we report a case of a 68-year-old man with relapsed follicular lymphoma who developed HHV-6 pneumonitis. Eighteen months after achieving second complete remission by salvage immunochemotherapy with rituximab, the patient was complicated by pneumonia, with chest computed tomography finding showing disseminated nodular shadows with ground-glass opacity in both lungs. While empiric antibiotic and antifungal therapies did not improve the pneumonia, polymerase chain reaction–based viral screening tests on his bronchoalveolar lavage fluid detected the presence of HHV-6 DNA, and ganciclovir treatment quickly resolved the pneumonia, indicating that he suffered from HHV-6 pneumonitis. He had no other HHV-6–related end-organ damage, such as encephalitis. This case suggests that, although extremely rare, HHV-6 reactivation should be considered as one of the candidate pathogens for pulmonary complications of uncertain etiology in patients who have been treated with intensive immunosuppressive chemotherapy, even without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Furthermore, polymerase chain reaction–based viral screening testing on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid is a powerful diagnostic tool for pneumonitis due to viral reactivation, including HHV-6 reactivation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The prognosis of Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph + ALL) has been dramatically improved since the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Although allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a major treatment option, the role of autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (auto-PBSCT) has been reconsidered, especially in patients who achieved early molecular remission. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a multicenter exploratory study for Ph + ALL patients aged between 55 and 70 years who achieved complete molecular remission within 3 cycles of chemotherapy. The target sample size is 5, and the registration period is 2 years. The primary endpoint is Day100- mortality after transplantation, and the secondary endpoints are survival, relapse rate, nonrelapse mortality, and adverse events.This study is divided into 3 phases: peripheral blood stem cell harvest, transplantation, and maintenance. Chemomobilization is performed using a combination of cyclophosphamide (CPM), doxorubicin, vincristine (VCR), and prednisolone (PSL). As a preparative regimen, the LEED regimen is used, which consists of melphalan, CPM, etoposide, and dexamethasone. Twelve cycles of maintenance therapy using a combination of VCR, PSL, and dasatinib are performed.In association with relapse, the minimal residual disease (MRD) of BCR-ABL chimeric gene and T-cell subsets are analyzed both before and after auto-PBSCT. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The protocol was approved by the institutional review board of Nagoya University Hospital and all the participating hospitals. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients before registration, in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Results of the study will be disseminated via publications in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION Trial registration number UMIN000026445.

Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy supported by autologous stem cell support/transplantation (HDT/ASCT) has been a standard of care over the last two decades in patients with relapsed or refractory(R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which is sensitive to salvage chemotherapy. HDT/ASCT for high-risk DLBCL in upfront setting remains controversial, so it is not recommended for clinical practice. Various promising salvage chemotherapy regimens have been reported in phase 2 studies; however, two large randomized phase 3 studies showed similar efficacy of R-ICE vs. R-DHAP and R-GDP vs. R-DHAP. Since the registry data shows feasibility and efficacy of HDT/ASCT in elderly R/R DLBCL patients, older age (> 65 years) itself is not a contraindication for HDT/ASCT. Rituximab maintenance failed to demonstrate a significant benefit compared with observation only after HDT/ASCT. While sensitive R/R DLBCL might be cured by HDT/ASCT even in third-line therapy, the prognosis of insensitive R/R DLBCL is extremely poor. Further study to establish treatment strategies for high-risk patients defined by prognostic factors or biomarkers, and insensitive patients is warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE Several studies have evaluated the utility of extrapolating the Calvert formula in calculating carboplatin (CBDCA) dosages in solid tumours; however, data regarding haematological cancers are less. Therefore, we conducted a preliminary study of the utility of extrapolating the Calvert formula in calculating CBDCA dosages for DeVIC ± R therapy. METHODS A retrospective study on 57 non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients who had received DeVIC ± R therapy was conducted. The area under the curve (AUC) of CBDCA was back-calculated from actual dosages using the Calvert formula. Patients were divided into two groups according to an AUC ≥ 4 or an AUC < 4, respectively. The Revised Response Criteria of the International Working Group and CTCAE version 4.0 were used for assessing the treatment efficacy and adverse events, respectively. RESULTS The use of AUC instead of body surface area had greater utility in calculating CBDCA dosage, with a response rate of greater than 50 % in patients receiving DeVIC ± R therapy with an AUC ≥ 4 for CBDCA. The response rate of the AUC ≥ 4 group was significantly higher than that of the AUC < 4 group. Decreased platelet and neutrophil counts of grade ≥3 occurred at higher rates in the AUC ≥ 4 group. CONCLUSION The extrapolation of the Calvert formula has utility in calculating the CBDCA dosage for DeVIC ± R therapy, and therapeutic efficacy was increased by maintaining the AUC of CBDCA at ≥4.

Abstract
Pegfilgrastim is a pegylated form of the granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, filgrastim. Herein, we report the results of a multicentre, randomized, double-blind phase III trial comparing the efficacy and safety of pegfilgrastim with filgrastim in patients with malignant lymphoma. Patients were randomized to receive either a single subcutaneous dose of pegfilgrastim or daily subcutaneous doses of filgrastim on day 4 after the completion of cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, etoposide and dexamethasone ± rituximab (CHASE(R); day 1-3) chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was the duration of severe neutropenia (DSN), defined as the number of days with neutrophil count <0·5 × 10(9) /l in the first cycle of chemotherapy. A total of 111 lymphoma patients were randomized to either the pegfilgrastim or filgrastim group. 109 patients received either pegfilgrastim (n = 54) or filgrastim (n = 55). Efficacy data were available for 107 patients (pegfilgrastim: n = 53, filgrastim: n = 54). Both groups were well balanced in terms of gender, age, performance status and other variables. The mean DSN (±S.D.) was 4·5 (±1·2) and 4·7 (±1·3) d in the pegfilgrastim and filgrastim groups. No significant difference in safety was observed. This trial verified the non-inferiority of a single subcutaneous dose of pegfilgrastim compared with daily subcutaneous doses of filgrastim, considering DSN as an indicator.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the antitumour activities and genotoxic effects of isoliquiritigenin (ISL) combined with cyclophosphamide (CP) in vitro and in vivo. U14 cells were treated with either of ISL (5-25 μg/mL) or CP (0.25-1.25 mg/mL) alone or with combination of ISL (5-25 μg/mL) and CP (1.0 mg/mL) for 48 h. The proliferation inhibitory effect in vitro was evaluated by MTT and colony formation assays. KM mice bearing U14 mouse cervical cancer cells were used to estimate the antitumour activity in vivo. The genotoxic activity in bone marrow polychromatic erythrocytes was assayed by frequency of micronuclei. The DNA damage in peripheral white blood cells was assayed by single cell gel electrophoresis. The results showed that ISL enhanced antitumour activity of CP in vitro and in vivo, and decreased the micronucleus formation in polychromatic erythrocytes and DNA strand breaks in white blood cells in a dose-dependent way.

Abstract
We describe MR-CHOP therapy, a novel treatment regimen consisting of high-dose methotrexate and R-CHOP that provides systemic anti-tumor activity with penetration of the blood-brain barrier in patients with newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma. The MR-CHOP regimen was administered with 2 g/m(2) of methotrexate and 375 mg/m(2) of rituximab on day 1, 750 mg/m(2) of cyclophosphamide on day 3, 50 mg/m(2) of doxorubicin on day 3, 1.4 mg/m(2) of vincristine on day 3 and 100 mg of prednisolone on days 1-5 in this pilot study of seven patients. Six cycles of MR-CHOP therapy were administered every 3 weeks, followed by high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue in young patients, or an additional two cycles of 4 g/m(2) methotrexate and rituximab in older patients. The overall response rate was 100%, with 85.7% complete remission (CR). One patient showed partial response, relapsed and subsequently died. Another relapsed following CR, and was rescued by further salvage therapy. The others survive without relapse at a median observation period of 24 months. Hematological toxicity included grade 4 leukocytopenia in 4/7 and neutropenia in 5/7, which were transient and tolerated well. Non-hematological toxicities were tolerated well. The efficacy of this novel regimen as remission induction therapy was found to be promising in this pilot study, although the number of patients was small and follow-up short.

Abstract
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a well-recognized lymphoma subtype that accounts for about 5% of all patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The clinical course of MCL ranges from an indolent disease to a rapidly progressive malignancy, with a poor prognosis and a median overall survival (OS) of about 3-5 years reported in earlier data sets. Knowledge of its biology has increased in the last few years. Unfortunately, this progress has not yet brought any major improvements in therapeutic approaches, which still remain highly unsatisfactory. Recent improvement has been achieved by the successful introduction of monoclonal antibodies and dose-intensified approaches including autologous stem cell transplantation strategies. However, with the exception of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, current treatment approaches are non-curative, and the corresponding survival curves are characterized by a delayed but continuous decline and a median survival of 4-6 years. In recent years, new insights into the biology of MCL have been obtained which have provided the rationale for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Emerging new drugs such as bendamustine, proteasome inhibitors, antibodies, mTOR inhibitors, and immunomodulatory drugs and others are based on the dysregulated control of cell cycle machinery and impaired apoptotic pathways. The efficacy of these agents as monotherapy was demonstrated to be comparable to conventional chemotherapy in relapsed MCL, and combination strategies are currently being investigated in clinical trials.
