PURPOSE To determine the response rate to 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (2-CdA; cladribine) in patients with advanced indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) who fail to respond to or progress after a response to standard chemotherapy drugs. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-one patients were treated with at least one cycle of 2-CdA 0.1 mg/kg/d by continuous infusion for 5 or 7 days. RESULTS The overall response rate (complete response [CR] and partial response [PR]) was nine of 21 patients (43%; 95% confidence interval, 22% to 64%). Unmaintained durable responses (longest follow-up, 29+ months) have been observed. The treatment was well tolerated by all patients. The major toxicity was related to myelosuppression (predominantly neutropenia) and immunosuppression with infection. CONCLUSION The purine analog 2-CdA is an active salvage therapy in pretreated patients with indolent NHL, and deserves further assessment in untreated patients and in combination with other chemotherapy agents.

Abstract The efficacy of re-therapy with rituximab immuno-chemotherapy was analysed in 20 consecutive patients with relapsed or progressive aggressive Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma after initial treatment with rituximab plus chemotherapy. Ten patients had a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, seven had a mantle cell lymphoma and three a grade III follicular lymphoma. At primary diagnosis, the IPI was high-intermediate or high in 75% of the patients and the median age was 55 years (range 36–72 years). The overall response rate of primary immuno-chemotherapy was 75% (15/20 patients) with a complete remission in 8/20 patients (40%). After relapse, 53 % of these patients (8/15) responded again to immunochemotherapy: two patients had a second complete and six a second partial remission. None of the five patients with primary progressive disease responded to a conventional immuno-chemo salvage therapy. After re-therapy with rituximab plus salvage chemotherapy, ten patients received at least one cycle of high dose chemotherapy followed by SCT. One patient did receive HD-chemotherapy and an autologous graft solely, two patients did receive HD-radio-immunotherapy followed by an autologous graft and seven patients finally received HDT and an allogeneic transplant. Allogeneic SCT resulted in a CR in 6 out of 7 patients. One of these ten patients relapsed after HDT consolidation. Six out of ten patients without HDT consolidation after immuno-chemotherapy progressed after secondary treatment, 4 patients are alive without progression (SD, PR) but follow up is short (7, 10, 13 and 16 months). Conclusion: A substantial proportion (53%) of patients with relapse after rituximab immuno-chemotherapy did response to rituximab containing salvage therapy. Patients with progressive disease under immuno-chemotherapy did not respond to such salvage therapy. Without additional consolidation by HDT the risk of progression after successful salvage with rituximab and salvage-chemotherapy is high.
