R-CVP versus R-CHOP versus R-FM as first-line therapy for advanced-stage follicular lymphoma: Final results of FOLL05 trial from the Fondazione Itali…
2012
8006 Background: The optimal chemotherapy regimen for patients with advanced, active follicular lymphoma (FL) has not been established yet. We conducted a randomized trial comparing R-CVP with R-CHOP and R-FM. Methods: Previously untreated patients with advanced FL were randomly assigned to receive 8 doses of rituximab associated to 8 cycles of CVP, or 6 cycles of CHOP or FM (fludarabine 25 mg/m2 day 1-3, mitoxantrone 10 mg/m2 day 1). No maintenance therapy was allowed. The principal study end point was Time to Treatment Failure (TTF). Events in TTF were failure of induction therapy, progressive or relapse disease and death from any causes. In order to show a hazard ratio between each expe…

Dose-Adjusted Etoposide, Doxorubicin, and Cyclophosphamide With Vincristine and Prednisone Plus Rituximab Therapy in Children and Adolescents With Pr…
2021
PURPOSE A dose-adjusted etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide with vincristine and prednisone plus rituximab (DA-EPOCH-R) regimen has been shown to deliver excellent survival for adults with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBL) without the use of radiotherapy. No international prospective evaluation of this regimen has previously been reported in children and adolescents. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted an international single-arm phase II trial involving patients younger than age 18 years with PMLBL who were to receive six courses of DA-EPOCH-R. The primary end point was event-free survival (EFS). Overall survival and toxicity were also assessed. This trial was regist…
The mTOR Inhibitor Temsirolimus Added to Rituximab Combined With Dexamethasone, Cytarabine, and Cisplatinum (R-DHAP) for the Treatment of Patients Wi…
2021
There is a high need for novel treatment options in relapsed and refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Single agent mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor treatment has shown promising efficacy in this entity. Here, we report on the results of the mTOR-inhibitor temsirolimus combined to standard rituximab-DHAP salvage regimen in a prospective, multicenter, phase II, open-label study. The STORM regimen consisted of rituximab 375 mg/m(2) (day 2) and DHAP (dexamethasone 40 mg day 3-6, cisplatinum 100 mg/m(2) day 3, cytarabine 2 × 2 g/m(2) day 4) with temsirolimus added on day 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle, with 2 to 4 cycles planned. In part I, dose levels of 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg fo…
The clinical impact of donor-specific antibodies in heart transplantation.
2018
Donor-specific antibodies (DSA) are integral to the development of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). Chronic AMR is associated with high mortality and an increased risk for cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV). Anti-donor HLA antibodies are present in 3-11% of patients at the time of heart transplantation (HTx), with de novo DSA (predominantly anti-HLA class II) developing post-transplant in 10-30% of patients. DSA are associated with lower graft and patient survival after HTx, with one study suggesting a three-fold increase in mortality in patients who develop de novo DSA (dnDSA). DSA against anti-HLA class II, notably DQ, are at particularly high risk for graft loss. Although detection o…
Associations of ofatumumab exposure and treatment outcomes in patients with untreated CLL receiving chemoimmunotherapy
2016
Relationships between patient characteristics, ofatumumab pharmacokinetics, and treatment outcomes were investigated in this phase 2 trial of ofatumumab plus fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) in untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive 500 or 1000 mg ofatumumab (Cycle 1; 300 mg) plus FC every 4 weeks for six cycles. Median C(max) and C(trough) values were similar at Cycle 1 regardless of the ultimate clinical outcome. At later doses, these values were higher for patients with complete response (CR) than for other patients. Higher C(max) and C(trough) values at Cycles 3 and 6 were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of CR, whereas …

Rituximab in the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
2008
Beate Hauptrock, Georg HessHematology/Oncology, Johannes Gutenberg-University, Mainz, GermanyAbstract: Besides traditional cytostatic drugs the introduction of monoclonal antibodies has substantially influenced current treatment concepts of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL).  Rituximab, a monoclonal anti-CD20 chimeric antibody, now has been widely evaluated in the various B-cell lymphatic neoplasms. Large phase III studies helped to prove the value of this drug in follicular lymphoma as part of induction or relapse treatment as well as maintenance treatment. The addition of rituximab to the well established CHOP regimens has increased achievable cure rates in diffuse large cel…
Rituximab combined with DexaBEAM followed by high dose therapy as salvage therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma: mature res…
2014
Summary Salvage therapy followed by high-dose therapy (HDT) remains a mainstay for patients with relapsed lymphoma, however no optimal regimen has been defined. Here we report on the results of R-DexaBEAM (rituximab, dexamethasone, carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan) followed by HDT. Patients aged 18–65 years, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score 0–2, with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) were eligible. R-Dexa-BEAM was given for two cycles followed by stem cell mobilization and HDT. Primary endpoint of the trial was progression-free-survival (PFS). One hundred and three patients were included: aggressive NHL (aNHL): diffuse large B-cell lymphom…
Minimum tolerable interval of 90yttrium ibritumomab-tiuxetan to autologous stem cell transplantation after high-dose chemotherapy with carmustin, eto…
2012
6543 Background: High-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in patients (pts) with aggressive B-NHL failing from immunochemotherapy including rituximab show poor outcome with 3y PFS of 39% (Gisselbrecht et al. JCO 2010). Combining BEAM with 90yttrium ibritumomab tiuxetan is a promising option to enhance the efficacy of the high-dose regimen. Methods: Pts without disease progression during salvage therapy of relapsed or refractory CD20+ aggressive B-NHL were included in this prospective, multicenter, phase I/II trial. Primary endpoint was the maximum tolerated dose of 90Yttrium ibritumomab tiuxetan given as close as possible to ASCT defined as <2 pts with dose limi…
