Abstract

Background: For peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) patients, high-dose therapy combined with autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT) has been an alternative treatment option, due to the lack of efficacy from conventional chemotherapy. While not all PTCLs could have benefit in survival from HDT/ASCT. The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of high-dose therapy combined with autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT) in Chinese patients with Peripheral T-cell Lymphomas (PTCLs), in order to determine the cohort most suitable to receive HDT/ASCT.

Methods: A total of 79 patients with PTCLs who received HDT/ASCT in Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute from January 2001 to august 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: At a median follow-up time of 23.6 months, the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) and 2-year overall survival (OS) of the entire cohort were 75.2% and 83.6% respectively. Patients with first complete remission (CR1) (2-year PFS 85.8%, 2-year OS 94.2%) were superior to others in survival. Patients with second complete remission (CR2) had no advantage in survival compared with those with first partial remission (PR1) (2-year PFS: 43.8% vs. 76.2%, p=0.128; 2-year OS: 72.9% vs. 77.1%, p=0.842). In multivariate analysis, response before HDT/ASCT (p=0.001) and LDH before HDT/ASCT (p=0.047) were highly predictive for PFS, while no factors could independently predict OS. Subgroup analysis revealed that HDT/ASCT could improve the survival of patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), especially in patients with chemosensitivity. Patients with natural killer / T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) who received HDT/ASCT with CR1 also had benefit in survival from HDT/ASCT, while nearly 90% of non-CR1 patients appeared bone marrow involvement after HDT/ASCT.

Conclusion: Patients who achieved complete remission after first-line therapy, especially with AITL and NKTCL, should strongly be recommended to receive HDT/ASCT. The future prospective trial is warranted.
