Front-line treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) involves regimens such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (CHOP) and results in a 5-year overall survival (OS) rate of less than 50%. This phase I open-label study evaluated the safety and activity of brentuximab vedotin administered sequentially with CHOP or in combination with CHP (CHOP without vincristine) as front-line treatment in patients with CD30(+) PTCL.
Patients received sequential treatment (once every 3 weeks) with brentuximab vedotin 1.8 mg/kg (two cycles) followed by CHOP (six cycles) or brentuximab vedotin 1.8 mg/kg plus CHP (BV+CHP) for six cycles (once every 3 weeks). Responders received single-agent brentuximab vedotin for eight to 10 additional cycles (for a total of 16 cycles). The primary objective was assessment of safety; secondary end points included objective response rate, complete remission (CR) rate, progression-free survival rate (PFS), and OS. There were no prespecified comparisons of the two treatment approaches.
After sequential treatment, 11 (85%) of 13 patients achieved an objective response (CR rate, 62%; estimated 1-year PFS rate, 77%). Grade 3/4 adverse events occurred in eight (62%) of 13 patients. At the end of combination treatment, all patients (n = 26) achieved an objective response (CR rate, 88%; estimated 1-year PFS rate, 71%). All seven patients without anaplastic large-cell lymphoma achieved CR. Grade 3/4 adverse events (≥ 10%) in the combination-treatment group were febrile neutropenia (31%), neutropenia (23%), anemia (15%), and pulmonary embolism (12%).
Brentuximab vedotin, administered sequentially with CHOP or in combination with CHP, had a manageable safety profile and exhibited substantial antitumor activity in newly diagnosed patients with CD30(+) PTCL. A randomized phase III trial is under way, comparing BV+CHP with CHOP (clinical trial No. NCT01777152).
外周T细胞淋巴瘤(PTCL)的一线治疗方案包括环磷酰胺、阿霉素、长春新碱、泼尼松(CHOP)方案,其5年总生存率(OS)低于50%。这项I期开放标签研究评估了在CD30(+) PTCL患者中,一线治疗时,本妥昔单抗与CHOP序贯使用或与CHP(不含长春新碱的CHOP)联合使用的安全性和活性。
患者接受序贯治疗(每3周一次),先使用1.8mg/kg本妥昔单抗(两个周期),随后使用CHOP(六个周期),或使用1.8mg/kg本妥昔单抗加CHP(BV+CHP)六个周期(每3周一次)。缓解者接受单药本妥昔单抗额外治疗8至10个周期(共16个周期)。主要目标是评估安全性;次要终点包括客观缓解率、完全缓解(CR)率、无进展生存率(PFS)和OS。两种治疗方法未进行预先设定的比较。
序贯治疗后,13例患者中有11例(85%)获得客观缓解(CR率为62%;估计1年PFS率为77%)。13例患者中有8例(62%)发生3/4级不良事件。联合治疗结束时,所有患者(n = 26)均获得客观缓解(CR率为88%;估计1年PFS率为71%)。所有7例无间变性大细胞淋巴瘤的患者均达到CR。联合治疗组中发生率≥10%的3/4级不良事件为发热性中性粒细胞减少(31%)、中性粒细胞减少(23%)、贫血(15%)和肺栓塞(12%)。
本妥昔单抗与CHOP序贯使用或与CHP联合使用时,安全性可控,在新诊断的CD30(+) PTCL患者中显示出显著的抗肿瘤活性。一项随机III期试验正在进行中,比较BV+CHP与CHOP(临床试验编号:NCT01777152)。
