Abstract Background: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an unfavorable subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by median progression-free survival (PFS) and median overall survival (OS) of only 1.5 and 3–4 years respectively. Although high-dose therapy and an autotransplant may prolong OS, it does not result in a long-term disease free survival. Therefore, there is a need for novel therapeutic approaches for this entity. Methods: We conducted a single-arm phase II study in subjects with newly-diagnosed MCL to assess efficacy and safety of a novel intensive regimen R-MACLO-IVAM-T, a modification of a protocol designed by Magrath et al (JCO1996;14:925). The study size of 22 patients was based on precision of a two-sided 95% confidence interval for the 18-month progression free survival rate. Eligible subjects had a confirmed diagnosis of MCL using WHO criteria, age 18–75 years, ECOG PS ≤ 2, adequate organ function and no history of HIV or prior cancer. Lymphoma extent at presentation was assessed by standard staging procedures as well as esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy. Prior to initiating thalidomide maintenance, subjects were enrolled in the STEPS® program. Cycle 1 consisted of R-MACLO: rituximab 375 mg/m2 IV on day 1, doxorubicin 45 mg/m2 IV on day 1, cyclophosphamide 800 mg/m2 IV on day 1 and 200 mg/m2/day on days 2–5, vincristine 1.5 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 capped to 2mg, methotrexate 1.2 g/m2 IV on day 10 over 1 hour followed by 5.52 g/m2 IV over 23 hours followed by leucovorin 36 hours later. G-CSF was begun on day 13. When the ANC was >1.5×109/L, cycle 2 with R-IVAM was begun: rituximab 375 mg/m2 IV day 1, cytarabine 2 g/m2 IV every 12 hours on days 1 and 2, etoposide, 60 mg/m2 on days 1–5 and ifosfamide 1.5 g/m2 on days 1–5 with mesna. Fourteen days after ANC recovery from cycle 2, cycles 3 and 4 were given in identical fashion to 1 and 2. Four weeks after ANC recovery from cycle 4, subjects were re-staged and responses were assessed by standard criteria. Subjects achieving CR at the end of therapy received thalidomide 200 mg/day until MCL relapse or intolerable toxicity. Results: Accrual started in 4/2004 and ended in 3/2008 when the planned 22 subjects were enrolled. All subjects were evaluable for toxicity and 21 were evaluable for response. Median age was 56.5 years (range 39–73). All subjects had at least stage 3 disease with bone marrow involvement in 19 and gastrointestinal involvement in 10. Distribution according to IPI: 0–1 factor, 3; 2 factors, 8; 3 factors, 8; and 4 factors, 3. Twenty subjects had diffuse variant and 2 had blastic variant. Nineteen subjects completed all 4 cycles of therapy; treatment was stopped in 2 subjects after 2 and 3 cycles respectively, and one subject died during the first cycle. Of the 21 subjects completing 2 cycles of therapy, 20 achieved CR and one PR. Two subjects relapsed at 9 and 33 months respectively, while 19 remain relapse free after median follow-up of 25 months (range 5–51). With a total follow-up of 545 months, the estimated relapse rate is 4.4 per 100 patients per year. There were two deaths: 1 from sepsis on cycle 1 day 8 and the other in CR at 38 months from non-small cell lung cancer diagnosed 19 months after MCL. Common severe toxicities were grade 3–4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and anemia in 33%, 19% and 17% of R-MACLO cycles and in 50%, 88% and 68% of R-IVAM cycles respectively. There were 14 bacteremias in 82 cycles, 12 of which were after R-IVAM therapy. Six episodes of reversible grade 1–2 renal toxicity occurred after methotrexate. The thalidomide maintenance dose was reduced in 6 subjects due to grade 3–4 neutropenia and reduced or stopped in 8 subjects because of grade 3–4 peripheral neuropathy. Patients remain under follow-up for relapse and survival. Conclusions: R-MACLO-IVAM-T results in a high overall response rate of 100% (95% CR and 5% PR) and a low relapse rate. At a median follow-up of 25 months, median PFS and OS were not reached. The 2-year actuarial PFS of 94% compares favorably with previously reported 2-year actuarial PFS of 40% and 67% for CHOP-like regimens without and with upfront bone marrow transplantation (Blood2005;105: 2677). The contribution of thalidomide maintenance to this outcome requires additional study. A multicenter clinical trial is suggested.

The Impact

7502 Background: Rituximab (R) prolongs the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) when given either simultaneously with or as maintenance after chemotherapy only. Methods: In the current study the impact of R maintenance after remission induction with an R-containing combined immuno-chemotherapy (R-FCM) was evaluated. Patients with advanced stage relapsed or refractory FL and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) were eligible. The study design comprized 4 courses of chemotherapy with Fludarabine (25 mg/m2/d days 1–3), Cyclophosphamide (200 mg/m2/d days 1–3) and Mitoxantrone (8 mg/m2/d day 1) (FCM) ± Rituximab (375 mg/m2/d day 0). Patients entering a complete (CR) or partial remission (PR) underwent a second randomization for R maintenance (4 weekly doses (375 mg/m2/d) at three and nine months after end of induction) or observation only. Randomization was stratified for histology, prior therapies (up to 2 lines vs. >2), induction (±R), and response (CR vs. PR). After improved outcome of the R-FCM arm had been observed in the initial 147 randomized patients, all subsequent patients received a combined immuno-chemotherapy induction. Results: 176 of 195 randomized cases are evaluable, 138 of whom had received an R-containing induction. In these patients (as well as the total group) the median PFS after end of induction has not been reached in the R-maintenance arm in contrast to 17 months in patients with no further treatment (p = 0.001). This improvement was seen both in FL (n = 81; p = 0,035) and MCL (n = 47; p = 0,049). More importantly, overall survival rate was also improved after R maintenance with borderline significance (3 y rate 82% vs. 55%; p = 0,056). No major sided effects of R maintenance have been observed and the rate of serious infections was similar in both study arms (p = 0.72). Conclusions: The final analysis of this study confirms that R maintenance after combined immuno-chemotherapy (R-FCM) is highly effective and improves the progression-free survival—with a strong trend towards improved overall survival—of patients with relapsed FL and MCL.

PURPOSE Before recognizing mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) as a distinct entity, these patients were grouped into low-grade (LG) or intermediate-/high-grade categories (IGHG) according to the Working Formulation and received various therapies. This was a unique opportunity to evaluate characteristics, behavior, response to treatment, and outcome of patients with MCL from two phase III trials conducted by the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC): EORTC 20855 IGHG and EORTC 20856 LG. PATIENTS AND METHODS After histologic review, 64 diagnosed MCL patients (29 IGHG and 35 LG) were compared with other patients in their respective trials. In the IGHG group, patients received cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, teniposide (VM26), prednisone, vincristine, and bleomycin (CHVmP-VB) or modified doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, etoposide (VP 16), mechlorethamine, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone (ProMACE-MOPP). In the LG group, after receiving cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (CVP) induction, patients were randomized between maintenance treatment with interferon alfa-2a (IFN) or no further treatment. RESULTS MCL patients compared with IGHG subtypes showed a similar overall survival and response rate, but shorter duration of response and progression-free survival. Comparing with LG patients, their response rate, duration of response, and progression-free survival showed no difference, while their overall survival was nearly twice shorter. MCL patients treated with CHVmP-VB had the longest survival. No treatment showed any significant improvement in terms of progression-free survival. CONCLUSION These data confirm that MCL represents a clinicopathologic entity. In terms of survival, it behaves like IGHG subtypes, while in terms of progression-free survival, it behaves like LG lymphoma. It is still not clear which first-line treatment offers patients with MCL the best chance to obtain both a complete response (CR) and a long-term survival.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of rituximab and cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) induction therapy in patients with newly diagnosed mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL). PATIENTS AND METHODS: From March 1997 to May 1999, 40 previously untreated patients with stage II through IV MCL were treated with six cycles of rituximab and CHOP chemotherapy in a phase II trial. Pretreatment and interval peripheral-blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) specimens were also analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for tumor-specific BCL-1/immunoglobulin H (IgH) translocations and clonal IgH rearrangements. Study end points included clinical and molecular response rates and long-term progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS: Forty-eight percent of patients achieved a complete response (CR)/CR unconfirmed (CRu), and 48% of patients obtained a partial response (PR). However, 28 of the 40 patients have already relapsed or developed progressive disease with a median PFS of 16.6 months. Twenty-five patients had PCR-detectable BCL-1/IgH or clonal IgH products in PB or BM at diagnosis. Nine of the 25 informative patients had no evidence of PCR-detectable disease in PB or BM after rituximab and CHOP therapy. However, patients who achieved molecular remissions in PB or BM had PFS similar to patients without molecular remissions (16.5 v 18.8 months, P = .51). CONCLUSION: Favorable clinical and molecular response rates associated with rituximab and CHOP chemotherapy do not translate into prolonged PFS in MCL. Nevertheless, rituximab and combination chemotherapy may transiently clear PB or BM of detectable tumor cells, prompting additional consideration of antibody-based in vivo purging in subsequent clinical trials.

Abstract In this study, we analyzed the long-term outcome of a risk-adapted transplantation strategy for mantle cell lymphoma in 121 patients enrolled in sequential transplantation protocols. Notable developments over the 17-year study period were the addition of rituximab to chemotherapy and preparative regimens and the advent of nonmyeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation (NST). In the autologous transplantation group (n = 86), rituximab resulted in a marked improvement in progression-free survival for patients who received a transplant in their first remission (where a plateau emerged at 3-8 years) but did not change the outcomes for patients who received a transplant beyond their first remission. In the NST group, composed entirely of patients who received a transplant beyond their first remission, durable remissions also emerged in progression-free survival at 5 to 9 years. The major determinants of disease control after NST were the use of a peripheral blood stem cell graft and donor chimerism of at least 95%, whereas the major determinant of death was immunosuppression for chronic graft-versus-host disease. Our results show that long-term disease-free survival in mantle cell lymphoma is possible after rituximab-containing autologous transplantation for patients in first remission and after NST for patients with relapsed or refractory disease.
