Gemcitabine, cisplatin and methylprednisolone (GEM-P) with or without Rituximab in relapsed and refractory patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Hematology (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2007 April
This is the first report of the combination of gemcitabine, cisplatin and methylprednisolone (GEM-P) with Rituximab (GEM-PR) for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Thirty-nine patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL in this study received GEM-P with (n = 24) or without Rituximab (n = 15) 64% patients had Stage III/IV disease. The overall response rate (ORR) was 59% (95% CI 42.1-74.4); 11/39 (28%) patients attained complete response. Patients received a median of two cycles (1-4) of treatment. For GEM-PR group, the ORR was 67% (95% CI 45-84%) compared to 47% (95% CI 21-73%) in GEM-P alone. one-year progression-free survival was 51% (95% CI 28-69%) in GEM-PR group compared to 27% (95% CI 8-49%) in GEM-P alone (P = 0.04). GEM-P is an effective second-line regimen in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL and the addition of Rituximab appears to further improve outcomes.
