Abstract
Background There was little evidence of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) as consolidation therapy after remission of induction for patients with Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of real-world survival outcomes between consolidation therapy and observation in patients with PTCL. Methods A total of 92 patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) who were admitted to the Department of Hematology, Huadong Hospital Affiliated with Fudan University from January 2013 to April 2019 were divided into two groups based on whether they were treated with high-dose therapy (HDT) followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT): ASCT as consolidation therapy (n=30) and observation (n=62). Clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and survival outcomes were analyzed between the two groups. Univariate and Cox multivariate regression analyses were also performed to detect prognostic factors of survival. Results With a median follow-up time of 41 months, the median overall survival (OS) of peripheral T-cell lymphoma patients treated with ASCT was not reached; the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 77.0 months, which was much higher than that of patients without ASCT (p<0.003 for OS, p=0.015 for PFS). Subgroup analysis found that patients with high risks benefited more from ASCT. Combination with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) (p<0.001), clinical stage more than III (p=0.014), IPI score above 3 (p=0.049), and bone marrow involvement (p=0.010) were the independent prognostic factors significantly associated with worse OS and PFS. Additionally, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD)-containing chemotherapy regimen could bring a higher overall response rate (ORR) and prolong the survival of patients with PTCL who underwent ASCT. Conclusion ASCT may improve the long-term survival of patients with PTCL as consolidation therapy after achieving complete or partial remission of induction treatment, particularly for those with high risks. The chemotherapy regimen containing pegylated liposomal doxorubicin may induce deeper remission than traditional doxorubicin in PTCL. It is crucial to identify the specific groups most likely to benefit from upfront ASCT.

Up-front autologous stem cell transplant in peripheral T-cell lymphoma patients achieving complete response after first-line treatment: A multicentre real-world analysis. Br J Haematol 2024; 204:1414-1421. [PMID: 38272453 DOI: 10.1111/bjh.19317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
We conducted a retrospective, multicentre study to compare consolidation therapy with or without first-line autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) for peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) patients in a real-world setting. We enrolled 347 PTCL patients who achieved complete response after first-line treatment. Of these, 257 received consolidation chemotherapy (non-ASCT group) and 90 received ASCT (ASCT group). Clinical outcomes were comparable between ASCT and non-ASCT groups. After propensity score matching, the 2-year cumulative incidence of treatment-related mortality and relapse remained similar between groups (1.9% vs. 2.0%, p = 0.985; 24.7% vs. 47.1%, p = 0.021). However, significant differences emerged in progression-free survival and overall survival probabilities. Within the T-cell lymphoma subgroup, ASCT patients exhibited favourable outcomes compared to non-ASCT patients: 2-year progression-free survival (73.4% vs. 50.8%, p = 0.024) and overall survival (92.1% vs. 73.5%, p = 0.021). Notably, no significant differences were observed for patients with NK/T-cell lymphoma. These real-world data suggest that up-front ASCT is a safe and effective consolidation option for PTCL patients in remission, particularly those with T-cell lymphoma.
