Effect of Modified LMB 89± Rituximab Regimen on Long-Term Benefits for Patients's with Burkitt Lymphoma / 中国实验血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of modified LMB 89± rituximab regimen on long-term clinical benefit for patients with Burkitt lymphoma.@*METHODS@#Clinical data of 43 patients with Burkitt lymphoma were collected and retrospectively analyzed in the period from July 2006 to October 2017. Forty-three patients were divided into 2 groups, including Hyper-CVAD regimen, R-EPOCD regimen or VDCLP regimen treated group as control (20 patients) and modified regimen group with modified LMB 89±rituximab regimen (23 patients); the event-free survival (EFS) rate, overall survival (OS) rate, cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), non-relapse mortality rate (NRM) and adverse reaction incidence of 2 groups were compared. At the same time, the efficacy analysis for patients of modified regimen group was performed according to age and using rituximab or no.@*RESULTS@#The EFS rate and OS rate of modified regimen group were significantly higher than those of control group (P＜0.05). The CRR rate and NRM rate of modified regimen group were significantly lower than those of control group (P＜0.05). The EFS rate and OS rate of patients for ＜40 years old were significantly higher than those of patients for ≥40 years old in modified regimen group (P＜0.05). The EFS rate and OS rate of patients with rituximab were significantly higher than those of patients without rituximab in modified regimen group (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in the adverse reaction incidence between 2 groups (P＞0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Modified LMB 89± rituximab regimen in the treatment of patients with Burkitt lymphoma can efficiently prolong survival time and shows the better safety; and the remigen combined with rituximab is more helpful to improve the clinical prognosis and show the better clinical effects for the patients≤40 years old.
