Aidi Injection-Asisted R-CHOP Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma / 中国实验血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigaate the clinical efficacy of Aidi injection-asisted R-CHOP chemotherapy for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fifty-one patients diagnosed as DLBCL in our department from February 2005 to September 2015 were randomly divided into 2 groups. Out of them, 26 patients in one group received R-CHOP chemotherapy asisted by Aidi intravenous infection (Aidi+R-CHOP group), 25 patients were in another group received only R-CHOP chemotherapy (R-CHOP group), 3 weeks for one course, to tally continuous 2 courses. The recent therapeutic efficacy, adverse events, quality of life, sIL-2R level and long-term survival rate were compared between 2 groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The efficacy of the Aidi+R-CHOP group was significantly higher than that of the R-CHOP group (P<0.05); the incidences of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were significantly lower than the R-CHOP group (P<0.05); besides, KPS scores were significantly higher than in the R-CHOP group (P<0.05); sIL-2R level in the Aidi+R-CHOP group after treatment was significantly lower than that in the R-CHOP group (P<0.05), however, these data were not statistically different between the two groups before treatment. In addition, 3 and 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate in the Aidi+R-CHOP group was significantly higher than that in the R-CHOP group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The use of Aidi injection-asisted R-CHOP chemotherapy for treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma can increase the patient's tolerance to chemotherapy, improve their quality of life, also reduce the side-effects of chemotherapy, and the trerapeutic effect is more significant than that of R-CHOP regimen alone, thus improving the overall therapeutic efficacy of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.</p>
