    Treatment outcomes of adult Burkitt lymphoma: results with a modified LMB protocol in Brazil and feasibility of outpatient administration
    (2018) SILVA JUNIOR, Wellington Fernandes da; ROSA, Lidiane Ines da; BELESSO, Marcelo; LAGE, Luis Alberto P. C.; ROCHA, Vanderson; PEREIRA, Juliana
    While Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma more prevalent in tropical areas, few studies on BL have been conducted in Latin America. Here, we evaluate the clinical presentation and outcomes of an adapted LMB regimen for adults with sporadic BL. We retrospectively evaluated hospital records from University of Sao Paulo (USP) between 1999 and 2017. Thirty-six patients were included, the median age was 33.5 years and 69% (25) were male. Most patients presented advanced stage disease (81%), 8% had CNS disease, and the majority belonged to LMB group B (75% (27)). Three patients died during the induction phase, and the remaining patients (33) achieved complete response. There was one relapse over a median follow-up of 6 years. Overall survival estimated at 5 years was 89%. We conclude that an adapted LMB protocol is safe and feasible in Brazil.

    Risk adapted approach: How to treat splenic marginal zone lymphoma in resource-poor settings? - The real-life experience of a Brazilian cancer treatment center
    (2020) LAGE, Luis Alberto de Padua Covas; SANTOS, Felipe Faganelli Caboclo dos; LEVY, Debora; MOREIRA, Frederico Rafael; COUTO, Samuel Campanelli Freitas; CULLER, Hebert Fabricio; COSTA, Renata de Oliveira; ROCHA, Vanderson; PEREIRA, Juliana
    BackgroundSplenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is a rare lymphoid B-cell malignant neoplasm with primary involvement of the spleen. It is a chronic disease, of indolent behavior and prolonged survival. However, 25% of cases have higher biological aggressiveness, propensity for histological transformation to high grade B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and shortened survival. Recognition of these cases of reserved outcome is important for selecting a risk-adapted therapeutic approach in a resource-poor settings.MethodsWe described clinical and epidemiological characteristics, survival analysis and prognostic factors in a retrospective cohort of 39 SMZL patients, treated in Latin America.ResultsWe observed a predominance of female (71.8%), median age of 63 years and higher incidence of B symptoms (56.4%) and extra-splenic involvement (87.1%) than in European and North-American series. With a median follow-up of 8.7 years (0.6-20.2 years), estimated 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 76.9% and 63.7%, respectively. Factors with adverse prognostic impact on OS and PFS were Hb < 100 g/L, platelet count < 100 x 10(9)/L, albumin < 3.5 g/dL, LDH > 480 U/L and high-risk Arcaini and SMZL/WG scores. Despite a relative low number of patients, no superiority was observed among the therapeutic regimens used including rituximab monotherapy, splenectomy and cytotoxic chemotherapy.ConclusionTherefore, in resource-poor settings, where access to immunotherapy is not universal for all SMZL patients, we suggest that first-line should consist on rituximab therapy for elderly patients or with high surgical risk or with at least 1 risk factor identified in our study. Remainders can be safely managed with splenectomy.

    Up-front Therapy With CHOP Plus Etoposide in Brazilian nodal PTCL Patients: Increased Toxicity and No Survival Benefit Compared to CHOP Regimen–Results of a Real-Life Study From a Middle-Income Country
    (2022) LAGE, L. A. D. P. C.; BRITO, C. V.; BARRETO, G. C.; CULLER, H. F.; REICHERT, C. O.; LEVY, D.; COSTA, R. D. O.; ZERBINI, M. C. N.; ROCHA, V.; PEREIRA, J.
    Background: Nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma (nPTCL) constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with aggressive behavior and poor-survival. They are more prevalent in Latin America and Asia, although data from Brazil are scarce. Its primary therapy is still controversial and ineffective. Therefore, we aim to describe clinical-epidemiological characteristics, outcomes, predictors factors for survival and compare the results of patients treated with CHOP and CHOEP regimens. Methods: Retrospective, observational and single-center study involving 124 nPTCL patients from Brazil treated from 2000 to 2019. Results: With a median follow-up of 23.7 months, the estimated 2-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 59.2% and 37.3%, respectively. The median age was 48.5 years and 57.3% (71/124) were male, 81.5% (101/124) had B-symptoms, 88.7% (110/124) had advanced disease (stage III/IV) and 58.1% (72/124) presented International Prognostic Index (IPI) score ≥3, reflecting a real-life cohort. ORR to first-line therapy was 58.9%, 37.9% (N = 47) received CHOP-21 and 35.5% (N = 44) were treated with CHOEP-21; 30.1% (37/124) underwent to consolidation with involved field radiotherapy (IF-RT) and 32.3% (40/124) were consolidated with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT). The overall response rate (ORR) was similar for CHOP-21 (76.6%) and CHOEP-21 (65.9%), P =.259. Refractory disease was less frequent in the CHOEP-21 group (4.5% vs. 21.2%, P =.018). However, few patients were able to complete 6-cycles of CHOEP-21 (31.8%) than to CHOP-21 (61.7%), P =.003. Delays ≥2 weeks among the cycles of chemotherapy were more frequent for patients receiving CHOEP-21 (43.1% vs. 10.6%), P =.0004, as well as the toxicities, including G3-4 neutropenia (88% vs. 57%, P =.001), febrile neutropenia (70% vs. 38%, P =.003) and G3-4 thrombocytopenia (63% vs. 27%, P =.0007). The 2-year OS was higher for CHOP (78.7%) than CHOEP group (61.4%), P =.05, as well as 2-year PFS (69.7% vs. 25.0%, P <.0001). In multivariate analysis, high LDH (HR 3.38, P =.007) was associated with decreased OS. CR at first line (HR: 0.09, P <.001) and consolidation with ASCT (HR: 0.08, P =.015) were predictors of increased OS. Conclusion: In the largest cohort of nPTCL from Latin America, patients had poor survival and high rate of chemo-resistance. In our cohort, the addition of etoposide to the CHOP-21 backbone showed no survival benefit and was associated with high-toxicity and frequent treatment interruptions. Normal LDH values, obtaintion of CR and consolidation with ASCT were independent factors associated with better outcomes. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

    Up-Front ASCT Overcomes the Survival Benefit Provided by HDAC-Based Induction Regimens in Mantle Cell Lymphoma: Data from a Real-Life and Long-Term Cohort
    (2023) LAGE, Luis Alberto de Padua Covas; ELIAS, Marcela do Vale; REICHERT, Cadiele Oliana; CULLER, Hebert Fabricio; FREITAS, Fabio Alessandro de; COSTA, Renata de Oliveira; ROCHA, Vanderson; SIQUEIRA, Sheila Aparecida Coelho da; PEREIRA, Juliana
    Simple Summary This study aimed to assess clinical outcomes, determine survival predictors, and compare responses between different primary therapeutic modalities in a large real-world cohort of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), with a focus on assessing the impact of intensified immunochemotherapy regimens based on high doses of cytarabine (HDAC) on outcomes in ASCT-eligible patients. A total of 165 Brazilian patients with biopsy-proven MCL were included from 2010 to 2022. After a long follow-up, our results demonstrated that patients treated with (R)-HDAC-based regimens had higher ORR (85.9% vs. 65.7%, p = 0.007) compared to those treated with (R)-CHOP, as well as lower rates of early relapses (61.9% vs. 80.4%, p = 0.043) and lower mortality (43.9% vs. 68.6%, p = 0.004). However, enhanced induction regimens employing (R)-HDAC were not associated with a real overall survival benefit in MCL patients undergoing ASCT (2-year OS: 88.7% for (R)-HDAC plus ASCT vs. 78.8% for (R)-CHOP plus ASCT, p = 0.289). Additionally, up-front ASCT was independently associated with improvement in OS (p < 0.001), EFS (p = 0.005), and POD-24 (p < 0.001) in MCL. In conclusion, in the largest real-world Latin American study involving MCL patients, we were able to ratify the benefit of up-front ASCT in young and physically fit patients regardless of the intensity of the induction immunochemotherapy regimen used. Although HDAC-based induction regimens were not associated with improved survival in ASCT-eligible patients, it was associated with higher ORR and lower rates of early relapses in the whole cohort. These findings can decisively impact the therapeutic management of MCL patients in different clinical settings.Abstract Background: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare malignancy with heterogeneous behavior. Despite the therapeutic advances recently achieved, MCL remains incurable. Currently, the standard of care for young and fit patients involves induction immunochemotherapy followed by up-front autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). However, the role of more intensive induction regimens, such as those based on high doses of cytarabine (HDAC), remains controversial in the management of ASCT-eligible patients. Methods: This retrospective, observational, and single-center study involved 165 MCL patients treated at the largest oncology center in Latin America from 2010 to 2022. We aimed to assess outcomes, determine survival predictors, and compare responses between different primary therapeutic strategies, with a focus on assessing the impact of HDAC-based regimens on outcomes in ASCT-eligible patients. Results: The median age at diagnosis was 65 years (38-89 years), and 73.9% were male. More than 90% of the cases had a classic nodal form (cnMCL), 76.4% had BM infiltration, and 56.4% presented splenomegaly. Bulky >= 7 cm, B-symptoms, ECOG >= 2, and advanced-stage III/IV were observed in 32.7%, 64.8%, 32.1%, and 95.8%, respectively. Sixty-four percent of patients were categorized as having high-risk MIPI. With a median follow-up of 71.1 months, the estimated 2-year OS and EFS were 64.1% and 31.8%, respectively. Patients treated with (R)-HDAC-based regimens had a higher ORR (85.9% vs. 65.7%, p = 0.007) compared to those receiving (R)-CHOP, as well as lower POD-24 rates (61.9% vs. 80.4%, p = 0.043) and lower mortality (43.9% vs. 68.6%, p = 0.004). However, intensified induction regimens with (R)-HDAC were not associated with a real OS benefit in MCL patients undergoing up-front consolidation with ASCT (2-year OS: 88.7% vs. 78.8%, p = 0.289). Up-front ASCT was independently associated with increased OS (p < 0.001), EFS (p = 0.005), and lower POD-24 rates (p < 0.001) in MCL. Additionally, CNS infiltration, TLS, hypoalbuminemia, and the absence of remission after induction were predictors of poor OS. Conclusions: In the largest Latin American cohort of MCL patients, we confirmed the OS benefit promoted by up-front consolidation with ASCT in young and fit patients, regardless of the intensity of the immunochemotherapy regimen used in the pre-ASCT induction. Although HDAC-based regimens were not associated with an unequivocal increase in OS for ASCT-eligible patients, it was associated with higher ORR and lower rates of early relapses for the whole cohort.
