OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical efficacy and prognosis of
Rituximab combined with DHAX and CHOP regimen in the first-line treatment of elderly patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
METHODS: A total of 36 elderly patients with DLBCL who were admitted and treated with 3 of more courses of treatment from August 2011 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into
rituximab±DHAX (R±DHAX) regimen group (18 cases) and
rituximab±CHOP (R-CHOP) regimen group (18 cases) according to the treatment plan, and clinical features, efficacy and survival of the patients were observed.
RESULTS: Compared with R-CHOP group, patients of the R±DHAX group were older, and had worse performance status and higher IPI score, the differences between two groups in age, ECOG score and IPI score were statistically significant ( P =0.005 P =0.018, P =0.035), but there were no significant differences beween two groups in gender, whether there were B symptoms, whether LDH was elevated, whether there was extranodal involvement, cell origin, bone marrow infiltration, and whether
rituximab was combined ( P =0.738, P =1, P =0.315, P =0.305, P =0.413, P =0.177, P =0.711, P =0.229). The efficacy could be evaluated in 36 cases, including CR 14 (38.9%), PR 17 (47.2%), PD 5 (13.9%), and ORR of 86.1% (31/36). There were no statistically significant differences in CR[(27.8%(5/18) vs 50.0%(9/18); P >0.05] and PR [44.4%(8/18) vs 50.0%(9/18); P >0.05] of R±DHAX group and R-CHOP group, there was statistically significant difference in ORR[72.2%(13/18) vs 100.0%(18/18); P =0.045] between two groups. The 1-year OS of R±DHAX group and R-CHOP group was (38.9±11.5%)% and (94.4±7.4%)%, respectively, 2-year OS was (16.7±8.8)% and (72.2±10.6)%, respectively, and the differences between two groups were statistically significant ( P =0.001, P =0.002). The median survival time in the R±DHAX group was 11 months(95%CI :8.9-13.1), and the median survival time in the R-CHOP group was not reached, and there was a statistically significant difference between the groups (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: For elderly DLBCL patients, R±DHAX may not be superior to R-CHOP in OS, and ECOG score, IPI score and age may affect the survival of elderly DLBCL patients. However, R±DHAX regimen is safe, tolerable and has a certain efficacy, which can be used as one of the clinical treatment options for elderly DLBCL.
UNASSIGNED: 利妥昔单抗联合DHAX方案与CHOP方案一线治疗老年初诊弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤的回顾性研究.
UNASSIGNED: 探讨R±DHAX方案与R-CHOP方案一线治疗老年初诊弥漫大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)患者的临床疗效及预后。.
UNASSIGNED: 回顾性分析江苏大学附属医院血液科2011年8月—2021年8月收治并至少完成3疗程的36例老年DLBCL患者,根据治疗方案分为利妥昔单抗±DHAX(R±DHAX)方案组(18例)和利妥昔单抗联合CHOP(R-CHOP)方案组(18例),观察患者的临床特征、疗效及生存。.
UNASSIGNED: 与R-CHOP组比较,R±DHAX组患者更高龄、体能状态更差及IPI评分更高,在年龄、ECOG评分、IPI评分上两组间差异有统计学意义(P =0.005,P =0.018,P =0.035),而在性别、有无B症状、LDH是否升高、有无结外累及、细胞来源、有无骨髓浸润、是否联合使用利妥昔单抗上两组间差异均无统计学意义(P =0.738,P =1,P =0.315,P =0.305,P =0.413,P =0.177,P =0.711,P =0.229)。36例患者均可评价疗效,其中CR 14例(38.9%)、PR 17例(47.2%)、PD 5例(13.9%),ORR为86.1%(31/36)。R±DHAX组和R-CHOP组CR[(27.8%(5/18)对50.0%(9/18)]、PR[44.4%(8/18)对50.0%(9/18)]差异无统计学意义,但ORR[72.2%(13/18)对100.0%(18/18)]差异有统计学意义(P =0.045)。R±DHAX组和R-CHOP组1年OS率分别为(38.9±11.5)%和(94.4±7.4)%,2年OS率分别为(16.7±8.8)%和(72.2±10.6)%,组间比较差异有统计学意义(P =0.001,P =0.002)。R±DHAX组中位生存时间11个月(95%CI :8.9-13.1),R-CHOP组中位生存时间未达到,组间存在统计学差异(P <0.001)。.
UNASSIGNED: 对于老年DLBCL患者,在OS方面R±DHAX方案可能不优于R-CHOP方案,且ECOG评分、IPI评分、年龄可能影响老年DLBCL患者生存。但R±DHAX方案安全、可耐受且具有一定疗效,可作为临床上老年DLBCL治疗选择之一。.
