Abstract
PURPOSE Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare malignancy of the central nervous system with high invasiveness. There is little consensus on the treatment of PCNSL. This study retrospectively studied data from PCNSL patients in a single center to summarize treatment experience and explore prognostic factors. METHODS Survival curves were drawn using the Kaplan-Meier method and prognostic factors were analyzed using Cox's hazards model. RESULTS In multivariate analysis, cerebrospinal fluid lactic acid dehydrogenase (CSF LDH; p = 0.005 and p = 0.002), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR; p = 0.014 and p = 0.038), and completion of four cycles of induction therapy (p < 0.001and p < 0.001) were significant and independent predictors of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), respectively. CONCLUSION On the basis of this study, we propose that PCNSL patients should receive early induction therapy with sufficient cycles. Subsequent consolidation therapy can prevent relapses and improve survival. In patients with PCNSL, the independent prognostic factors for OS and PFS were CSF LDH level, NLR, and full cycles of induction therapy.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare and highly aggressive lymphoma entirely localized in the central nervous system or vitreoretinal space. PCNSL generally initially responds to methotrexate-containing chemotherapy regimens, but progressive or relapsing disease is common, and the prognosis is poor for relapsed or refractory (R/R) patients. PCNSL is often characterized by activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) due to mutations in the B-cell receptor (BCR) or toll-like receptor (TLR) pathways, as well as immune evasion. Targeted treatments that inhibit key PCNSL mechanisms and pathways are being evaluated; inhibition of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) downstream of BCR activation has demonstrated promising results in treating R/R disease. This review will summarize the evidence and potential for targeted therapeutic agents to improve treatment outcomes in PCNSL. This includes immunotherapeutic and immunomodulatory approaches and inhibitors of the key pathways driving PCNSL, such as aberrant BCR and TLR signaling.

Abstract
Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) exhibit superior efficacy in relapsed/refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), but few studies have evaluated patients with newly diagnosed PCNSL, and even fewer studies have evaluated differences in efficacy between treatment with BTKi and traditional chemotherapy. This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics of 86 patients with PCNSL and identified predictors of poor prognosis for overall survival (OS). After excluding patients who only received palliative care, 82 patients were evaluated for efficacy and survival. According to the induction regimen, patients were divided into the traditional chemotherapy, BTKi combination therapy, and radiotherapy groups; the objective response rates (ORR) of the three groups were 71.4%, 96.2%, and 71.4% (P = 0.037), respectively. Both median progression-free survival and median duration of remission showed statistically significant differences (P = 0.019 and P = 0.030, respectively). The median OS of the BTKi-containing therapy group was also longer than that of the traditional chemotherapy group (not reached versus 47.8 (32.5-63.1) months, P = 0.038).Seventy-one patients who achieved an ORR were further analyzed, and achieved an ORR after four cycles of treatment and maintenance therapy had prolonged OS (P = 0.003 and P = 0.043, respectively). In conclusion, survival, and prognosis of patients with newly diagnosed PCNSL are influenced by the treatment regimen, with the BTKi-containing regimen showing great potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) for central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL). METHODS A systematic review was carried out to identify relevant studies from the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, WanFang, CNKI, and CBM databases. The studies included patients with CNSL who received BTKis and reported the overall response (OR), complete remission (CR), and partial response (PR). An overall effect analysis was performed using STATA 15.0. A random-effects model was utilized to calculate the pooled rates, and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were determined for all outcomes. RESULTS A total of 21 studies involving 368 patients were included in the meta-analysis. For newly diagnosed CNSL, due to the small simple size, we conducted a quantitative description, and the ORR could reach up to 100%. For relapsed/refractory patients, the pooled ORR was 72% (95% CI: 64-80%, I2 = 54.89%, p = 0.00), with a pooled CR and PR of 43% (95% CI: 33-54%, I2 = 65.40%, p = 0.00) and 23% (95% CI: 13-35%, I2 = 78.05%, p = 0.00), respectively. Most adverse events were hematology-related and generally manageable. CONCLUSION BTKis showed acceptable efficacy and safety in treating patients with CNSL. However, large and well-designed trials are still required to confirm BTKis as a treatment for CNSL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Body composition assessment derived from cross-sectional imaging has shown promising results as a prognostic biomarker in several tumor entities. Our aim was to analyze the role of low skeletal muscle mass (LSMM) and fat areas for prognosis of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and treatment response in patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). METHODS Overall, 61 patients (29 female patients, 47.5%) with a mean age of 63.8 ± 12.2 years, range 23-81 years, were identified in the data base between 2012 and 2020 with sufficient clinical and imaging data. Body composition assessment, comprising LSMM and visceral and subcutaneous fat areas, was performed on one axial slice on L3-height derived from staging computed tomography (CT) images. DLT was assessed during chemotherapy in clinical routine. Objective response rate (ORR) was measured on following magnetic resonance images of the head accordingly to the Cheson criteria. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients had DLT (45.9%). Regression analysis revealed that LSMM was associated with objective response, OR = 5.19 (95% CI 1.35-19.94, p = 0.02) (univariable regression), and OR = 4.23 (95% CI 1.03- 17.38, p = 0.046) (multivariable regression). None of the body composition parameters could predict DLT. Patients with normal visceral to subcutaneous ratio (VSR) could be treated with more chemotherapy cycles compared to patients with high VSR (mean, 4.25 vs 2.94, p = 0.03). Patients with ORR had higher muscle density values compared to patients with stable and/or progressive disease (34.46 ± vs 28.18 ± HU, p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS LSMM is strongly associated with objective response in patients with PCNSL. Body composition parameters cannot predict DLT. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Low skeletal muscle mass on computed tomography (CT) is an independent prognostic factor of poor treatment response in central nervous system lymphoma. Analysis of the skeletal musculature on staging CT should be implemented into the clinical routine in this tumor entity. KEY POINTS • Low skeletal muscle mass is strongly associated with the objective response rate. • No body composition parameters could predict dose-limiting toxicity.

Abstract
Background The influence of the breast as the primary site on the outcome of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and further changes in therapeutic strategies remain unclear. We aimed to compare the outcomes between primary breast and non-breast DLBCL and analyze the genetic profiles of some of the study cohorts using next-generation sequencing. Methods This matched-pair study reviewed the medical records of 19 patients with stage I and II primary breast DLBCL diagnosed between January 2005 and December 2021 on the basis of the Wiseman and Liao criteria, and we used 1:4 propensity score matching to identify patients with non-breast DLBCL as the control group. The overall response rate, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were the outcome measures. Results Patients with primary breast and non-breast DLBCL had a 5-year PFS of 72.6% and 86.9%, respectively (P = .206). These 2 groups also had comparable 5-year OS (86.9% vs 87.8%; P = .772). The breast as the primary site was not associated with inferior PFS (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.14; 95% CI: 0.66-6.96; P = .206) and OS (HR: 1.26; 95% CI: 0.27-5.93; P = .772). Conclusion Patients with primary breast DLBCL and those with non-breast DLBCL had comparable PFS and OS under rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) or R-CHOP-like regimens. Further investigations of the mutation profile, its clinical impact, potential central nervous system relapse, and prognosis of primary breast DLBCL are required.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that affects the brain, eyes, cerebrospinal fluid, or spinal cord without systemic involvement. The outcome of patients with PCNSL is worse compared to patients with systemic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Given potential mortality associated with severe immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), patients with PCNSL have been excluded from most clinical trials involving chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy initially. Here, we report for the first time to apply decitabine-primed tandem CD19/CD22 dual-targeted CAR-T therapy with programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors maintenance in one patient with multiline-resistant refractory PCNSL and the patient has maintained complete remission (CR) for a 35-month follow-up period. This case represents the first successful treatment of multiline resistant refractory PCNSL with long-term CR and without inducing ICANS under tandem CD19/CD22 bispecific CAR-T therapy followed by maintenance therapy with PD-1 and BTK inhibitors. This study shows tremendous potential in the treatment of PCNSL and offers a look toward ongoing clinical studies.

Development and Validation of Pretreatment Serum Total Bilirubin as a Biomarker to Predict the Clinical Outcomes in Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma: A Multicenter Cohort Study. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:4584. [PMID: 37760555 PMCID: PMC10526312 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15184584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a predominantly aggressive neoplasm isolated to the central nervous system or vitreoretinal space. Bilirubin is an important biomarker reflecting hepatic function and oxidative stress status that is associated with the occurrence and development of various tumors. However, its prognostic role in PCNSL has yet to be evaluated. Therefore, we conducted a prospective-retrospective study to analyze the predictive value of serum total bilirubin (STB) in PCNSL patients. The association between the pretreatment STB and clinical outcomes in PCNSL was developed in the discovery cohort (retrospective [n = 44] and prospective [n = 45]) and validated in an independent retrospective cohort (n = 69). A generalized additive model, Kaplan-Meier curve, and Cox analysis were applied. In the discovery cohort, the STB showed a linear relationship with overall survival (OS, p = 0.011) and progression-free survival (PFS, p = 0.0476). The median STB level of 12.0 µmol/L was determined as the cutoff value to predict the clinical outcomes with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) values of 0.9205 and 0.8464 for OS and PFS, respectively. The median STB level resulted in similar accuracy for predicting the clinical outcomes in the validation cohort with AUROC values of 0.8857 and 0.8589 for OS and PFS, respectively. In both the discovery and validation cohorts, the Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox regression analysis showed that the upper median STB groups showed significantly worse OS than the lower median STB groups. In conclusion, the pretreatment STB could be considered a novel biomarker to predict the clinical outcomes in patients with PCNSL receiving high-dose methotrexate-based combination immunochemotherapy.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Stereotactic biopsy remains the gold standard for the pathological diagnosis of PCNSL. However, certain new auxiliary diagnostic methods are considered to have good application prospects; these include cytokine and tumor circulating DNA, among others. Although new drugs such as immunomodulators, immune checkpoint inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor T-cells, and Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors have brought hope owing to their improved efficacy, the high recurrence rate and subsequent high mortality remain barriers to long-term survival. Increasing emphasis is therefore being placed on consolidation treatments. Consolidation treatment strategies include whole brain radiotherapy, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and non-myeloablative chemotherapy. As studies directly comparing the effectiveness and safety of different consolidation treatment schemes are lacking, the optimal consolidation strategy remains uncertain. This article will review the diagnosis and treatment of PCNSL, focusing on the progress in research pertaining to consolidation therapy.

Abstract
BackgroundPrimary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a type of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Although there are widely used prognostic scores, their accuracy and practicality are insufficient. Thus, a novel prognostic prediction model was developed for risk stratification of PCNSL patients in our research.MethodsWe retrospectively collected 122 patients with PCNSL from two medical centers in China from January 2010 to June 2022. Among them, 72 patients were used as the development cohort to construct a new model, and 50 patients were used for the validation. Then, by using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analsis and Lasso analysis, the Xijing model was developed and composed of four variables, including lesion number, β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and Karnofsky performance status (KPS). Finally, we evaluated the Xijing model through internal and external validation.ResultsCompared with the original prognostic scores, the Xijing model has an overall improvement in predicting the prognosis of PCNSL according to the time-dependent area under the curve (AUC), Harrell’s concordance index (C-index), decision curve analysis (DCA), integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) and continuous net reclassification index (NRI). For overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), the Xijing model can divide PCNSL patients into three groups, and shows more accurate stratification ability. In addition, the Xijing model can still stratify and predict prognosis similarly better in the elderly with PCNSL and subgroups received high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) or Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi). Finally, external validation confirmed the above results.ConclusionsIntegrating four prognostic factors, including imaging findings, tumor burden, systemic inflammation response index, and comprehensive physical condition, we provided a novel prognostic model for PCNSL based on real-world data and evaluated its predictive capacity.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) located in the CNS with a less favorable prognosis. Recent information addressing the disease molecular heterogeneity is paving the way for tailored treatment strategies. This article reviews current work on the pathogenesis of the disease, potential biomarkers, and treatments. RECENT FINDINGS Previous molecular classifications of PCNSL, built on DLBCL heterogeneity, did not properly address its intrinsic variability. Recent evidence has shown the existence of four different molecular PCNSL subtypes with associated multiomic characteristics, including prognostic relevance. Several studies have identified the tumor microenvironment (TME) as a driving prognostic factor in PCNSL. Therapy efforts continue mainly into targeting either the NF-κβ (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain enhancer of activated B cells) pathway or modulating the TME through immunomodulatory drugs (lenalidomide) or immunotherapy (antiprogrammed cell death 1/programmed cell death 1 ligand 1). SUMMARY Despite the increasing understanding of PCNSL pathogenesis with recent studies, future efforts are still needed to yield diagnostic biomarkers to detect either PCNSL or its molecular subtypes and hence ease routine clinical use.

Abstract
Background Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare and aggressive disease. The role of surgical resection in PCNSL has always been the center of debate. Here we investigated the clinical and follow-up data of single lesion PCNSL operated in our center, focusing on the comparison between surgical resection and biopsy. Methods All consecutive cases of single lesion PCNSL between October 2004 and December 2019 were retrospectively collected from the database of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University, School of Medicine. Patients were divided into resection group and biopsy group. Clinical information including age, gender, Karnofsky performance status, imaging features and postoperative treatment was collected from the medical records. All the patients were followed for survival analysis. Results A total of 105 patients with PCNSL were finally involved in our analysis. Neither PFS nor OS were significantly different between the resection group and biopsy group. The univariate analysis revealed that age < 60 and therapeutic treatment were significant predictors of longer PFS and OS. In the multivariate analysis, age (HR = 3.09, 95% CI 1.31–7.28, p = 0.01) and therapeutic treatment (HR = 0.25, 95% CI 0.07– 0.83, p = 0.02) were independent prognostic markers with OS. Multivariable Cox regression analyses also revealed that only age (HR = 2.29 (95% CI, 1.11–4.71, p = 0.03) was independent prognostic marker for PFS. Conclusions In single lesion PCNSL, there was no significant difference between the resection group and biopsy group for both PFS and OS. Younger age and postoperative treatment have been proved to be indicators of better prognosis.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a type of central nervous system restricted non-Hodgkin lymphoma, whose histopathological diagnosis is majorly large B cell lymphoma. To provide specific, evidence-based recommendations for medical professionals and to promote more standardized, effective and safe treatment for patients with PCNSL, a panel of experts from the Chinese Neurosurgical Society of the Chinese Medical Association and the Society of Hematological Malignancies of the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association jointly developed an evidence-based consensus. After comprehensively searching literature and conducting systematic reviews, two rounds of Delphi were conducted to reach consensus on the recommendations as follows: The histopathological specimens of PCNSL patients should be obtained as safely and comprehensively as possible by multimodal tomography-guided biopsy or minimally invasive surgery. Corticosteroids should be withdrawn from, or not be administered to, patients with suspected PCNSL before biopsy if the patient's status permits. MRI (enhanced and DWI) should be performed for diagnosing and evaluating PCNSL patients where whole-body PET-CT be used at necessary time points. Mini-mental status examination can be used to assess cognitive function in the clinical management. Newly diagnosed PCNSL patients should be treated with combined high-dose methotrexate-based regimen and can be treated with a rituximab-inclusive regimen at induction therapy. Autologous stem cell transplantation can be used as a consolidation therapy. Refractory or relapsed PCNSL patients can be treated with ibrutinib with or without high-dose chemotherapy as re-induction therapy. Stereotactic radiosurgery can be used for PCNSL patients with a limited recurrent lesion who were refractory to chemotherapy and have previously received whole-brain radiotherapy. Patients with suspected primary vitreoretinal lymphoma (PVRL) should be diagnosed by vitreous biopsy. PVRL or PCNSL patients with concurrent VRL can be treated with combined systemic and local therapy.

Abstract
Vincristine (VCR) is a classical chemotherapeutic that has been revisited to treat refractory solid tumors producing encouraging results. VCR binds to tubulin and decreases the rate of microtubule dynamics, thus triggering many cellular responses and behaviors. However, the dynamics of these responses and fates are uncharacterized. This study combined systems biology approaches with acute and long-term in vitro experiments to predict key pathways and mechanisms associated with cell fates during and after VCR treatment. Glioblastoma (GBM) cells were treated with clinically relevant doses of VCR, and interconnected cell fates were explored. A correlation matrix based on experimental cell analysis reported strong negative correlations between cell number, nuclear irregularities, senescence, or apoptosis, depending on the cells' genetic makeup and treatment regimen. P53 would be essential in all analyzed processes according to topological network analysis. Furthermore, despite the high acute sensitivity, both cell lines re-growth in the long term after a single VCR treatment, especially in those populations with high levels of autophagy. These multiple responses may also be triggered in patients' exposed tumors, which should be considered to allow the rational design of VCR protocols, including modulators of the cell fates and pathways mentioned above.

Abstract
Background/aims Predicting the clinical outcomes of primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the central nervous system (PCNS-DLBCL) to methotrexate-based combination immunochemotherapy treatment in advance and therefore administering the tailored treatment to the individual is consistent with the principle of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM/3PM). The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been reported to be associated with the clinical outcomes of multiple cancer. However, its prognostic role in PCNS-DLBCL is yet to be evaluated. Therefore, we aimed to effectively stratify PCNS-DLBCL patients with different prognosis in advance and early identify the patients who were appropriate to methotrexate-based combination immunochemotherapy based on the pretreatment level of RDW and a clinical prognostic model. Methods A prospective-retrospective, multi-cohort study was conducted from 2010 to 2020. We evaluated RDW in 179 patients (retrospective discovery cohorts of Huashan Center and Renji Center and prospective validation cohort of Cancer Center) with PCNS-DLBCL treated with methotrexate-based combination immunochemotherapy. A generalized additive model with locally estimated scatterplot smoothing was used to identify the relationship between pretreatment RDW levels and clinical outcomes. The high vs low risk of RDW combined with MSKCC score was determined by a minimal P-value approach. The clinical outcomes in different groups were then investigated. Results The pretreatment RDW showed a U-shaped relationship with the risk of overall survival (OS, P = 0.047). The low RDW (< 12.6) and high RDW (> 13.4) groups showed significantly worse OS (P < 0.05) and progression-free survival (PFS; P < 0.05) than the median group (13.4 > RDW > 12.6) in the discovery and validation cohort, respectively. RDW could predict the clinical outcomes successfully. In the discovery cohort, RDW achieved the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.9206 in predicting the clinical outcomes, and the predictive value (AUC = 0.7177) of RDW was verified in the validation cohort. In addition, RDW combined with MSKCC predictive model can distinguish clinical outcomes with the AUC of 0.8348 for OS and 0.8125 for PFS. Compared with the RDW and MSKCC prognosis variables, the RDW combined with MSKCC scores better identified a subgroup of patients with favorable long-term survival in the validation cohort (P < 0.001). RDW combined MSKCC score remained to be independently associated with clinical outcomes by multivariable analysis. Conclusions Based on the pretreatment RDW and MSKCC scores, a novel predictive tool was established to stratify PCNS-DLBCL patients with different prognosis effectively. The predictive model developed accordingly is promising to judge the response of PCNS-DLBCL to methotrexate-based combination immunochemotherapy treatment. Thus, hematologists and oncologists could tailor and adjust therapeutic modalities by monitoring RDW in a prospective rather than the reactive manner, which could save medical expenditures and is a key concept in 3PM. In brief, RDW combined with MSKCC model could serve as an important tool for predicting the response to different treatment and the clinical outcomes for PCNS-DLBCL, which could conform with the principles of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine.

Role of Positron Emission Tomography in Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14174071. [PMID: 36077613 PMCID: PMC9454946 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14174071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2022] [Revised: 08/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare but highly aggressive lymphoma with increasing incidence in immunocompetent patients. To date, the only established biomarkers for survival are age and functional status. Currently, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) criteria of the International Collaborative Group on Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma are the only ones recommended for follow-up. However, early occurrence of recurrence after treatment in patients with a complete response on MRI raises the question of its performance in assessing residual disease. While the use of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose body positron emission tomography for identification of systemic disease has been established and can be pivotal in patient treatment decisions, the role of brain PET scan is less clear. Here we review the potential role of PET in the management of patients with PCNSL, both at diagnosis and for follow-up under treatment. Abstract The incidence of primary central nervous system lymphoma has increased over the past two decades in immunocompetent patients and the prognosis remains poor. A diagnosis and complete evaluation of the patient is needed without delay, but histologic evaluation is not always available and PCNSL can mimic a variety of brain lesions on MRI. In this article, we review the potential role of 18F-FDG PET for the diagnosis of PCNSL in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. Its contribution to systemic assessment at the time of diagnosis has been well established by expert societies over the past decade. In addition, 18F-FDG provides valuable information for differential diagnosis and outcome prediction. The literature also shows the potential role of 18F-FDG as a therapeutic evaluation tool during the treatment and the end of the treatment. Finally, we present several new radiotracers that may have a potential role in the management of PCNSL in the future.

[PMID: 35733032 DOI: 10.1007/s11060-022-04062-z] [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: 04/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX)-based chemotherapy regimen is the first-line option for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). This prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of HD-MTX plus idarubicin (IDA) in patients with newly diagnosed immunocompetent PCNSL. METHODS We recruited newly diagnosed PCNSL patients from January 2017 to August 2020. Patients were assigned into two groups: HD-MTX monotherapy and HD-MTX plus IDA (HD-MTX/IDA). In the HD-MTX monotherapy group, patients were treated with MTX 8 g/m2 alone on day 1, while the HD-MTX/IDA group received MTX 8 g/m2 on day 1 and IDA 10 mg/m2 on day 2. Treatments were repeated every 3 weeks for 8 cycles except for progression and/or unacceptable toxicity. RESULTS We recruited 61 PCNSL patients, including 36 in the HD-MTX and 25 in the HD-MTX/IDA group. The CR rate was 68% in the HD-MTX/IDA group and 72.22% of patients in the HD-MTX monotherapy group (p = 0.7221), while the overall response rate was 72% vs. 77.78% (p = 0.6063). Median PFS in HD-MTX/IDA group and HD-MTX monotherapy group were 15.6 months and 18.5 months, respectively (p = 0.6374). Median OS was not reached in both groups. There were no significant differences in adverse effects between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The combination of IDA with HD-MTX showed no obvious therapeutic advantage over HD-MTX monotherapy in newly diagnosed patients with PCNSL. HD-MTX dose of 8 g/m2 monotherapy can still provide better therapeutic benefits in patients with acceptable adverse effects. Future studies could explore HD-MTX in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents in the first-line treatment of PCNSL.

Abstract
Background Refractory disease in primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) may occur despite adequate initial treatment. There is currently no standard of care for relapsed and recurrent PCSNL. No study to date documents using a combined regimen of radiotherapy, temozolomide, and rituximab. This study aimed to present the clinical course and outcomes of patients with recurrent or refractory disease who were given a combination of radiation, temozolomide, and rituximab. Methods Retrospective analysis was employed to evaluate data from recurrent or refractory PCNSL patients who were treated with radiation, temozolomide, and rituximab in two tertiary hospitals in the Philippines. Baseline demographics, treatment regimen, and outcomes were analyzed. Results Fifteen patients with a median age of 56 years were included, 11 with refractory disease and 4 with recurrent disease. Patients with bulky disease received either whole brain radiotherapy or partial field radiotherapy with rituximab and temozolomide given during radiation and for 6 months after radiation. Overall response rate to salvage therapy was 93.3% (14/15). Median overall survival from initial diagnosis was not reached (median follow-up: 84 months). Mortality rate was 33.3% (5/15), but only 2 out of 5 mortalities were from disease progression. There were only two reported cases of mild allergic reactions to rituximab, which did not result in treatment interruption. Conclusion Rituximab, temozolomide, and radiotherapy can be considered as an effective and safe salvage therapy for relapsed and recurrent central nervous system lymphoma.
