ABSTRACT
We present a retrospective multicenter study of pralatrexate treatment outcomes in an Australian practice setting for patients with relapsed/refractory T-cell lymphoma who had failed 1+ systemic therapies, treated via a compassionate access program. Endpoints assessed included response rates, toxicities, and subsequent therapies. Progression-free survival (PFS), time to next treatment (TTNT), event-free survival (EFS), overall survival (OS), and time to best response, were assessed by Kaplan-Meier analysis. The study included 31 patients, with median age 69 years. We demonstrated ORR of 35.5% (n = 11), including 4 complete responses (13%) and 7 partial responses (23%). The predicted median OS was 10 months, with EFS of 9 months, and PFS of 9 months. Median TTNT was 8 months. Mucositis was the most commonly observed toxicity. This study - the second largest real-world cohort reported to date - underscores the importance of pralatrexate in relapsed/refractory T-cell lymphoma, as well as its acceptable toxicity profile.
