| Abstract |
ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of IEAC (idarubici, etoposide, cytosine arabinoside, and cyclophosphamide) and CEAC (lomustine, etoposide, cytosine arabinoside, and cyclophosphamide) high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in the treatment of lymphoma.MethodWe retrospectively analyzed the data of 106 lymphoma patients undergoing ASCT from 2013 to 2018 using IEAC (n=43) or CEAC (n=63) regimens. The time of hematopoietic reconstruction, adverse events and the patients' survival outcomes in the two groups were compared to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the two regimens. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the factors potentially affecting the patients' survival.ResultsIn the total of 106 patients, successful hematopoietic reconstruction was achieved in 104 patients and treatment-related deaths occurred in 2 patients. No significant differences were observed in the time to hematopoietic recovery, adverse events or survival outcomes between the patients receiving IEAC and CEAC regimens. In the 104 patients with successful hematopoietic reconstruction who were followed for a median of 27.4 months (range 4.3 to 74.3 months), the 5-year progress-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 72.9% and 81.9%, respectively. The main adverse events (beyond grade 2 based on CTCAE v5.0) included infection, oral mucositis, nausea and vomiting, liver damage, cardiotoxicity, hypokalemia, and diarrhea. No significant difference was found in the survival outcomes or adverse events between the 2 regimens. T cell lymphoma and failure to achieve complete remission (CR) before ASCT were the risk factors of PFS (P=0.015 and P=0.007, respectively) and OS (P=0.038 and 0.031, respectively). The patients who achieved CR 3 months after the transplantation had higher rates of PFS (P=0.007) and OS (P=0.003).ConclusionIEAC and CEAC regimens prior to by ASCT are both safe and effective in the treatment of lymphoma and can be used as alternative conditioning regimens for lymphoma patients undergoing ASCT.
