Overall survival of children and adolescents with mature B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who had refractory or relapsed disease during or after treatment with FAB/LMB 96: A report from the FAB/LMB 96 study group.
British Journal of Haematology 2018 September
We determined the risk factors associated with poor survival in children and adolescents with de novo mature B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) who had refractory or relapsed disease during or after the French-American-British mature lymphoma B (FAB/LMB) 96 multi-agent chemotherapy. Among the 1 111 registered on study, 104 patients (9·4%) had refractory disease or disease relapse after first complete remission. Among these 104 patients, 28 (27%) patients had refractory disease and 76 (73%) had relapsed disease. The estimated 1- and 2-year overall survival (OS) (95% confidence interval) was 31·5% (23·3-41·0%) and 22·3% (15·3-31·4%), respectively. Prognostic analysis of OS using a Cox multivariate model showed that factors independently associated with OS included lactate dehydrogenase ≥2 upper normal limit [hazard ratio (HR) = 2·86 (1·57-5·2), P = 0·0006]; time to failure (>6 months) [HR = 0·59 (0·36-0·97), P = 0·038]; and failure in bone marrow [HR = 2·78 (1·65-4·68), P = 0·0001]. New therapeutic strategies are required to significantly reduce refractory disease and disease relapse in patients with newly diagnosed mature B-NHL and, more importantly, there is a critical need to develop novel retrieval approaches in patients with chemotherapy-resistant disease.
