RESUMO

The Canadian Cancer Trials Group (CCTG) LY.17 is an ongoing multi-arm randomized phase II trial evaluating novel salvage therapies compared with R-GDP (rituximab, gemcitabine, dexamethasone and cisplatin) in autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT)-eligible patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (RR-DLBCL). This component of the LY.17 trial evaluated a dose-intensive chemotherapy approach using a single cycle of inpatient R-DICEP (rituximab, dose-intensive cyclophosphamide, etoposide and cisplatin) to achieve both lymphoma response and stem cell mobilization, shortening time to ASCT. This report is the result of the protocol-specified second interim analysis of the 67 patients who were randomized to either 1 cycle of R-DICEP or to 3 cycles of R-GDP. The overall response rate (ORR) was 65.6% for R-DICEP and 48.6% for R-GDP. The ASCT rate was 71.9% versus 54.3%, and 1-year progression-free survival rate was 42% versus 32%, respectively, for R-DICEP versus R-GDP. Although the improvement in ORR for R-DICEP versus R-GDP exceeded the pre-specified 10% threshold to proceed to full accrual of 64 patients/arm, higher rates of grade 3-5 toxicities, and the need for hospitalization led to the decision to stop this arm of the study. CCTG LY.17 will continue to evaluate different salvage regimens that incorporate novel agents.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Existing skeletal muscle index (SMI) thresholds for sarcopenia are inconsistent, and do not reflect severity of depletion. In this study we aimed to define criterion values for moderate and severe skeletal muscle depletion based on the risk of mortality in a population of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Additionally, we aimed to identify clinical and demographic predictors of skeletal muscle depletion, evaluate the survival impact of skeletal muscle depletion in patients with minimal nutritional risk or good performance status, and finally, benchmarking SMI values of patients with HNC against healthy young adults. METHODS: Population cohort of 1231 consecutive patients and external validation cohorts with HNC had lumbar SMI measured by cross-sectional imaging. Optimal stratification determined sex-specific thresholds for 2-levels of SMI depletion (Class I and II) based on overall survival (OS). Adjusted multivariable regression analyses (tumor site, stage, performance status, age, sex, dietary intake, weight loss) determined relationships between 2-levels of SMI depletion and OS. RESULTS: Mean SMI (cm2/m2) was 51.7 ± 9.9 (males) and 39.8 ± 7.1 (females). The overall and sex-specific population demonstrated an increased risk of mortality associated with decreasing SMI. Sex-specific SMI (cm2/m2) depletion thresholds for 2-levels of muscle depletion determined by optimal stratification for males and females, respectively (male: 45.2-37.5, and <37.5; female: 40.9-34.2, and <34.2). In the overall population, Normal SMI, Class I and II SMI depletion occurred in 65.0%, 24.0%, and 11.0%, respectively. Median OS was: Normal SMI (114 months, 95% CI, 97.1-130.8); Class I SMI Depletion (42 months, 95% CI, 28.5-55.4), and Class II SMI Depletion (15 months, 95% CI, 9.8-20.1). Adjusted multivariable analysis compared with Normal SMI (reference), Class I SMI Depletion (HR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.18-1.88; P < .001), Class II SMI Depletion (HR, 1.91; 95% CI, 1.42-2.58; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Moderate and severe SMI depletion demonstrate discrimination in OS in patients with HNC. Moderate and severe SMI depletion is prevalent in patients with minimal nutrition risk and good performance status. Benchmarking SMI values against healthy young adults exemplifies the magnitude of SMI depletion in patients with HNC and may be a useful method in standardizing SMI assessment.

RESUMO

There remains an unmet need to optimize the first-line treatment of patients with high-risk large B cell lymphoma (LBCL), particularly those with a high International Prognostic Index (IPI) score or a positive interim positron emission tomography (PET) scan who experience poor outcomes with R-CHOP. This study was conducted to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of consolidative autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) among patients with high-risk LBCL. This retrospective study included consecutive patients with LBCL and IPI score 4 or 5 who underwent consolidative ASCT as part of first-line therapy in Alberta, Canada. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and disease-specific survival (DSS) were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method. The study cohort comprised 114 patients with median age of 60 years (range, 18 to 73 years), of whom 81 (71%) had an IPI score of 4 and 33 (29%) had an IPI score of 5. With a median follow-up of 5.6 years, the 5-year PFS was 72% (95% confidence interval [CI], 62% to 79%), 5-year OS was 74% (95% CI, 64% to 81%), and 5-year DSS was 80% (95% CI, 71% to 87%). There was no significant difference in PFS among patients with and patients without positive interim PET scans (n = 24), MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements (n = 26), or central nervous system involvement (n = 15). Consolidative ASCT is associated with high cure rates and favorable survival outcomes in patients with high-risk LBCL and may overcome the adverse prognostic impact of a positive interim PET scan.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The Follicular lymphoma international prognostic index (FLIPI) risk score and POD24 have previously been shown to have prognostic value in follicular lymphoma (FL), but the extent to which they can inform prognosis at the time of subsequent relapse is uncertain. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal cohort study of individuals diagnosed with FL between 2004 and 2010 in Alberta, Canada who received front-line therapy and subsequently relapsed. FLIPI covariates were measured prior to the initiation of front-line therapy. Median overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS2), and time to next treatment (TTNT2) were estimated from the time of relapse. RESULTS: A total of 216 individuals were included. The FLIPI risk score was highly prognostic at the time of relapse for OS (c-statistic = 0.70; HR[High vs. Low] = 7.38; 95% CI: 3.05-17.88), PFS2 (c-statistic = 0.68; HR[High vs. Low] = 5.84; 95% CI: 2.93-11.62) and TTNT2 (c-statistic = 0.68; HR[High vs. Low] = 5.72; 95% CI: 2.87-11.41). POD24 was not prognostic at the time of relapse for either OS, PFS2, or TTNT2 (c-statistic = 0.55). CONCLUSION: The FLIPI score measured at diagnosis may help with the risk stratification of individuals with relapsed FL.

RESUMO

Although autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) can achieve durable responses in eligible patients with follicular lymphoma (FL), long-term follow-up is needed to determine if it has curative potential. This retrospective, multicenter study included 162 patients who received ASCT for relapsed FL in Alberta, Canada. With a median (range) follow-up time of 12.5 years (0.1-27.9), the 12-year time-to-progression (TTP) was 57% (95% confidence interval [CI] 49%-65%), time-to-next-treatment was 61% (95% CI 52%-69%), progression-free survival was 51% (95% CI 42%-59%) and overall survival was 69% (95% CI 60%-76%). A plateau emerged on the TTP curve at 57% starting 9 years after ASCT with no relapses occurring beyond this timepoint. Ten patients remained in remission 20 years or more after ASCT. Patients undergoing ASCT at first or second relapse had superior outcomes compared to third or later relapse (12-year TTP 61% vs. 34%), as did patients without progression of disease within 24 months (POD24) of frontline treatment versus those with POD24 (12-year TTP 67% vs. 50%). ASCT achieves high rates of durable remission in relapsed FL, with long-term follow-up revealing that more than 50% of transplanted patients may be functionally cured of their lymphoma. The optimal timing to consider ASCT is at first or second relapse, regardless of POD24 status.

RESUMO

Double-hit lymphoma (DHL) is an aggressive large B cell lymphoma associated with a poor prognosis with R-CHOP chemotherapy. The optimal treatment is unknown, but outcomes might be improved with intensive induction regimens or consolidative high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT). The purpose of this study was to determine the real-world outcomes of patients with DHL treated with primarily R-CHOP induction and consolidative HDT/ASCT. This retrospective, multicenter study included consecutive patients age 18 to 70 years with newly diagnosed DHL intended for consolidative HDT/ASCT in Alberta, Canada. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method. The cohort comprised 58 patients with a median age of 59.5 years (range, 30 to 69 years). High-risk features at diagnosis included International Prognostic Index score 3 to 5 in 45 patients (78%), transformed indolent lymphoma in 25 (43%), and central nervous system involvement in 3 (5%). Forty-six patients (79%) patients received R-CHOP induction, and 45 (78%) proceeded to consolidative HDT/ASCT. With a median follow-up of 4.6 years, the 4-year PFS and OS rates were 67% (95% confidence interval [CI], 53% to 78%) and 68% (95% CI, 54% to 79%), respectively, for all patients and 86% (95% CI, 72% to 93%) and 88% (95% CI, 73% to 95%) for those undergoing HDT/ASCT. R-CHOP induction and consolidative HDT/ASCT result in excellent outcomes for patients with chemosensitive DHL, whereas patients with primary refractory disease might benefit from alternative strategies, such as earlier use of chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy.

RESUMO

Secondary central nervous system lymphoma (SCNSL) affects approximately 5% of patients with aggressive large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) and is associated with poor outcomes. This retrospective, multicenter study included 62 consecutive patients with SCNSL intended for transplant with high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX)-based induction followed by high-dose thiotepa, busulfan, melphalan, rituximab (TBMR) conditioning and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Median age was 58 years (range 20-75) and 52 (84%) patients had ECOG performance status >1 at diagnosis of SCNSL. Fifty-two (84%) patients completed induction and proceeded to TBMR/ASCT. With median follow-up 5.7 years, 5-year progression-free and overall survival rates were 53% (95% CI 39-65%) and 65% (95% CI 51-76%) for all patients and 62% (95% CI 45-74%) and 73% (95% CI 57-84%) for those undergoing TBMR/ASCT, respectively. Despite a historically poor prognosis, HD-MTX-based induction followed by TBMR/ASCT has the potential to achieve long-term survival in a substantial proportion of patients with SCNSL.

RESUMO

This retrospective analysis of the phase III GOYA study investigated the prognostic value of baseline metabolic tumor volume parameters and maximum standardized uptake values for overall and progression-free survival (PFS) in treatment-naïve diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Baseline total metabolic tumor volume (determined for tumors >1 mL using a threshold of 1.5 times the mean liver standardized uptake value +2 standard deviations), total lesion glycolysis, and maximum standardized uptake value positron emission tomography data were dichotomized based on receiver operating characteristic analysis and divided into quartiles by baseline population distribution. Of 1,418 enrolled patients, 1,305 had a baseline positron emission tomography scan with detectable lesions. Optimal cut-offs were 366 cm3 for total metabolic tumor volume and 3,004 g for total lesion glycolysis. High total metabolic tumor volume and total lesion glycolysis predicted poorer PFS, with associations retained after adjustment for baseline and disease characteristics (high total metabolic tumor volume hazard ratio: 1.71, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.35- 2.18; total lesion glycolysis hazard ratio: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.15-1.86). Total metabolic tumor volume was prognostic for PFS in subgroups with International Prognostic Index scores 0-2 and 3-5, and those with different cell-of-origin subtypes. Maximum standardized uptake value had no prognostic value in this setting. High total metabolic tumor volume associated with high International Prognostic Index or non-germinal center B-cell classification identified the highest-risk cohort for unfavorable prognosis. In conclusion, baseline total metabolic tumor volume and total lesion glycolysis are independent predictors of PFS in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma after first-line immunochemotherapy.

RESUMO

GOYA was a randomized phase 3 study comparing obinutuzumab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) vs standard-of-care rituximab plus CHOP in patients with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This retrospective analysis of GOYA aimed to assess the association between progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) with positron emission tomography (PET)-based complete response (CR) status. Overall, 1418 patients were randomly assigned to receive 8 21-day cycles of obinutuzumab (n = 706) or rituximab (n = 712) plus 6 or 8 cycles of CHOP. Patients received a mandatory fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose-PET/computed tomography scan at baseline and end of treatment. After a median follow-up of 29 months, the numbers of independent review committee-assessed PFS and OS events in the entire cohort were 416 (29.3%) and 252 (17.8%), respectively. End-of-treatment PET CR was highly prognostic for PFS and OS according to Lugano 2014 criteria (PFS: hazard ratio [HR], 0.26; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.19-0.38; P < .0001; OS: HR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.08-0.17; P < .0001), irrespective of international prognostic index score and cell of origin. In conclusion, the results from this prospectively acquired large cohort corroborated previously published data from smaller sample sizes showing that end-of-treatment PET CR is an independent predictor of PFS and OS and a promising prognostic marker in DLBCL. Long-term survival analysis confirmed the robustness of these data over time. Additional meta-analyses including other prospective studies are necessary to support the substitution of PET CR for PFS as an effective and practical surrogate end point. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01287741.

RESUMO

Approximately one-third of patients diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma presenting with Stage IV disease do not survive past 5 years. We present updated efficacy and safety analyses in high-risk patient subgroups, defined by Stage IV disease or International Prognostic Score (IPS) of 4-7, enrolled in the ECHELON-1 study that compared brentuximab vedotin plus doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (A + AVD) versus doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) as first-line therapy after a median follow-up of 37.1 months. Among patients treated with A + AVD (n = 664) or ABVD (n = 670), 64% had Stage IV disease and 26% had an IPS of 4-7. Patients with Stage IV disease treated with A + AVD showed consistent improvements in PFS at 3 years as assessed by investigator (hazard ratio [HR], 0.723; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.537-0.973; p = 0.032). Similar improvements were seen in the subgroup of patients with IPS of 4-7 (HR, 0.588; 95% CI, 0.386-0.894; p = 0.012). The most common adverse events (AEs) in A + AVD-treated versus ABVD-treated patients with Stage IV disease were peripheral neuropathy (67% vs. 40%) and neutropenia (71% vs. 55%); in patients with IPS of 4-7, the most common AEs were peripheral neuropathy (69% vs. 45%), neutropenia (66% vs. 55%), and febrile neutropenia (23% vs. 9%), respectively. Patients in high-risk subgroups did not experience greater AE incidence or severity than patients in the total population. This updated analysis of ECHELON-1 shows a favorable benefit-risk balance in high-risk patients.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: This proof-of-concept trial was undertaken as a first step in exploring the clinical benefit of therapeutic ultrasound for pain and sensory disturbance in patients with colorectal cancer. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of adding therapeutic ultrasound to a home-based therapeutic exercise program (current standard of care) for patients presenting with oxaliplatin-related pain and sensory disturbance in the hands and feet. METHODS: Thirty-one colorectal cancer patients with presenting symptoms of peripheral sensory neuropathy, based on a physician-rated grade 1, 2, or 3 on the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events for sensory and motor neuropathy, were enrolled in the trial. Patients were randomized to either 10 sessions of ultrasound therapy intervention over two-week period (continuous ultrasound at an intensity of 0.7 to 0.8 w/cm2, and frequency of 3 MHz for 5 minutes) plus standard care (n = 16) or to standard care alone (n = 15). The feasibility of therapeutic ultrasound was determined by the recruitment rate, participants' adherence to the intervention, and the study completion rates. Assessments of pain, sensory disturbance, sensation, and balance were conducted at baseline, two and six weeks. RESULTS: We achieved a recruitment rate of 84%, an adherence rate of 100% to the intervention, and a completion rate of 100%. Adding therapeutic ultrasound to standard care resulted in a statistically and clinically significant improvement in symptoms of pain and sensory disturbance (P = 0.003) at two weeks; however, no significance difference between the groups was found at the six-week follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this proof-of-concept study support the feasibility of the therapeutic ultrasound in addition to standard care as an intervention for colorectal cancer patients with oxaliplatin-related pain and sensory disturbance in the hands and feet. The findings warrant a large-scale placebo-controlled trial.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Head and neck cancer (HNC) are at high nutritional risk; however the prevalence and severity of malnutrition in contemporary patients with HNC are unclear. Diagnostic criteria for cancer-associated weight loss grading (WLG) (Grades 0 to 4) [1] have been validated and are recommended in oncology nutrition clinical practice guidelines [2-3]. The aim was to determine the prevalence using WLG in HNC patients and determine the extent to which reduced dietary intake (DI) explained variation of WLG. METHODS: A population-based cohort of HNC patients (N = 1756) in northern Alberta, Canada included consecutive new patients, 2004-2016. At referral to the regional cancer center weight history and DI categories were collected. Multinomial logistic regression (MLR) identified predictors of weight loss (WL) severity. Overall survival (OS) in relation to WL Grade and DI was determined by multivariable Cox proportional hazard. RESULTS: WL was absent in 42.9% and the remainder had Grade 1 (18%), Grade 2 (14.7%), Grade 3 (15.9%) and Grade 4 (8.5%) WL. Independent predictors of WLG in adjusted MLR model, included stage (P < 0.000), performance status (PS) (P < 0.000) and DI categories (P < 0.000); sex, age and disease site were not significant. Compared to "normal food in normal amount" adjusted Odds Ratio for WL Grade 4 was 4.0 (2.1-7.5) "normal food, but less than normal amount"; 25.2 (10.7-59.1) "little solid food"; 51.8 (10.5-255.3) "very little of anything"; 42.4 (11.0-163.0) "only liquids"; 25.9 (7.1-94.3) "only nutritional supplements". In the Cox model controlled for age, sex, cancer stage and site and PS, both WLG ((P < 0.000) and DI categories (P = 0.003) independently predicted OS. CONCLUSION: Data from this population cohort provide a benchmark for prevalence of cancer associated WL severity at diagnosis. Patient reported DI categories are strong predictors of WL and prognostic for OS.

RESUMO

While no widely accepted standard treatment regimen exists for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), growing evidence supports an approach that incorporates autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) as consolidative therapy when feasible. In November 2011, the Alberta Hematology Tumor Team established a new clinical practice guideline (CPG) for PCNSL involving high-dose methotrexate (HDMTX)/cytarabine-based induction followed by ASCT for eligible patients using a thiotepa and busulfan (TBu) conditioning regimen that omitted cyclophosphamide from the regimen that was used before 2011. This retrospective study analyzed all 64 patients with PCNSL diagnosed consecutively in 3 Canadian centers between November 2011 and December 2017 to evaluate adherence to the 2011 CPG and associated outcomes. Of the 64 patients with PCNSL, 38 were initiated on the transplantation-eligible protocol, of whom 30 underwent successful ASCT, and 26 were deemed transplantation-ineligible, of whom only 7 completed the transplantation-ineligible HDMTX-based protocol. For the transplantation-eligible and -ineligible cohorts, the projected 3-year overall survival (OS) rates were 83.8% and 14.3% and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 78.1% and 0%, respectively. For the 30 patients who underwent TBu/ASCT, the 3-year OS and PFS rates were 92.7% and 88.9%, respectively, with no treatment-related mortality or significant neurotoxicity. These real-world results highlight the efficacy and tolerability of TBu/ASCT consolidation for PCNSL in patients young and fit enough for an intensive treatment program, along with the significant need for improved therapies for older or less fit patients with PCNSL.

Purpose To perform an updated analysis of the randomized phase III GADOLIN trial in patients with rituximab-refractory indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated with obinutuzumab (GA101; G) and bendamustine (B). Patients and Methods Patients with histologically documented, rituximab-refractory CD20+ indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma received G 1,000 mg (days 1, 8, and 15, cycle 1; day 1, cycles 2 to 6) plus B 90 mg/m2/d (days 1 and 2, all cycles) or B 120 mg/m2/d monotherapy. Patients who did not experience disease progression with G-B received G maintenance (1,000 mg every 2 months) for up to 2 years. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Results Of 413 randomly assigned patients (intention-to-treat [ITT]: G-B, n = 204; B monotherapy, n = 209), 335 had follicular lymphoma (FL; G-B, n = 164; B monotherapy, n = 171). After a median follow-up of 31.8 months, median PFS in ITT patients was 25.8 months (G-B) and 14.1 months (B monotherapy; hazard ratio [HR], 0.57; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.73; P < .001). Overall survival (OS) also was prolonged (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.96; P = .027). PFS and OS benefits were similar in patients with FL. Grade 3 to 5 adverse events (AEs) were reported by 148 (72.5%) and 133 (65.5%) patients in the G-B and B monotherapy arms, respectively, most commonly neutropenia (G-B, 34.8%; B monotherapy, 27.1%), thrombocytopenia (10.8% and 15.8%), anemia (7.4% and 10.8%), and infusion-related reactions (9.3% and 3.4%). Serious AEs occurred in 89 G-B patients (43.6%) and 75 B monotherapy patients (36.9%); fatal AEs occurred in 16 (7.8%) and 13 (6.4%), respectively. Conclusion This updated analysis confirms the PFS benefit for G-B shown in the primary analysis. A substantial OS benefit also was demonstrated in the ITT population and in patients with FL. Toxicity was similar for both treatments.

RESUMO

Purpose Rituximab (R) plus CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) chemotherapy is the standard of care in previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Obinutuzumab (G) is a glycoengineered, type II, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody. GOYA was a randomized phase III study that compared G-CHOP with R-CHOP in patients with previously untreated advanced-stage DLBCL. Methods Patients (N = 1,418) were randomly assigned to receive eight 21-day cycles of G (n = 706) or R (n = 712), plus six or eight cycles of CHOP. Primary end point was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS). Results After median observation of 29 months, the number of investigator-assessed PFS events was similar between G (201; 28.5%) and R (215; 30.2%), stratified hazard ratio was 0.92 (95% CI, 0.76 to 1.11; P = .39), and 3-year PFS rates were 70% and 67%, respectively. Secondary end points of independently reviewed PFS, other time-to-event end points, and tumor response rates were similar between arms. In exploratory subgroup analyses, patients with germinal-center B cell-like subtype had a better PFS than did patients with activated B cell-like subtype, irrespective of treatment. Frequencies of grade 3 to 5 adverse events (AEs; 73.7% v 64.7%, respectively) and serious AEs (42.6% v 37.6%, respectively) were higher with G-CHOP compared with R-CHOP. Fatal AE frequencies were 5.8% for G-CHOP and 4.3% for R-CHOP. The most common AEs were neutropenia (G-CHOP, 48.3%; R-CHOP, 40.7%), infusion-related reactions (G-CHOP, 36.1%; R-CHOP, 23.5%), nausea (G-CHOP, 29.4%; R-CHOP, 28.3%), and constipation (G-CHOP, 23.4%; R-CHOP, 24.5%). Conclusion G-CHOP did not improve PFS compared with R-CHOP in patients with previously untreated DLBCL. AEs reported with G were consistent with the known safety profile. Biomarker analyses may help define a future role for G in DLBCL.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: While much cancer research focuses on tumours and their microenvironment, malignancies cause widespread physiologic changes. Cancer and treatment-related sarcopenia, measured with quantitative imaging or as a decrease in overall body mass, are indicative of poor prognosis in elderly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients, skeletal muscle radiodensity (SMD) may be a better prognostic marker. SMD, a measure of muscle radiation attenuation on CT imaging, is more prognostic than sarcopenia or International Prognostic Index (IPI) scores in follicular lymphoma and multiple solid organ malignancies. Low SMD appears to correlate with fat accumulation in muscle and is associated with inflammation. This study set out to examine SMD's prognostic ability in DLBCL. METHODS: All DLBCL patients treated with rituximab-containing therapy between 2004 and 2009 were compared to determine SMD's prognostic ability in this single centre, retrospective study. Pre-treatment CT scans were used to measure SMD and muscle cross-sectional area. Primary endpoints included progression free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) while objective response rates (ORR) were secondary. RESULTS: Of 224 evaluable patients, 116 were identified as having low SMD. Low SMD predicted poorer 5 year PFS, 60 vs. 81% (p = 0.001) and OS, 58 vs. 86% (p < 0.0001). SMD's prognostic ability retained significance in multivariate analysis taking into consideration the Revised International Prognostic Index (R-IPI) and sex. Although high SMD was not predictive of ORR (95.4 vs. 91.4%, p = 0.17), it was strongly associated with radiographic complete response (85 vs. 66%, p = 0.0007). Contrary to previous findings, sarcopenia did not predict for poorer OS but suggested improved OS in elderly DLBCL patients (HR 0.38, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: SMD is a novel prognostic (and potentially treatment predictive) marker independent of R-IPI in DLBCL. It presents an inexpensive yet complementary assessment to R-IPI for prognosticating DLBCL outcomes.

RESUMO

IMPORTANCE: Capecitabine is an oral cytotoxic chemotherapeutic commonly used across cancer subtypes. As with other oral medications though, it may suffer from drug interactions that could impair its absorption. OBJECTIVE: To determine if gastric acid suppressants such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may impair capecitabine efficacy. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This secondary analysis of TRIO-013, a phase III randomized trial, compares capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CapeOx) with or without lapatinib in 545 patients with ERBB2/HER2-positive metastatic gastroesophageal cancer (GEC); patients were randomized 1:1 between CapeOx with or without lapatinib. Proton pump inhibitor use was identified by medication records. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared between patients treated with PPIs vs patients who were not. Specific subgroups were accounted for, such as younger age (<60 years), Asian ethnicity, female sex, and disease stage (metastatic/advanced) in multivariate Cox proportional hazards modeling. The TRIO-013 trial accrued and randomized patients between June 2008 and January 2012; this analysis took place in January 2014. INTERVENTIONS: Patients were divided based on PPI exposure. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Primary study outcome was PFS and OS between patients treated with PPIs vs patients who were not. Secondary outcomes included disease response rates and toxicities. RESULTS: Of the 545 patients with GEC (median age, 60 years; 406 men [74%]) included in the study, 229 received PPIs (42.0%) and were evenly distributed between arms. In the placebo arm, PPI-treated patients had poorer median PFS, 4.2 vs 5.7 months (hazard ratio [HR], 1.55; 95% CI, 1.29-1.81, P < .001); OS, 9.2 vs 11.3 months (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.06-1.62; P = .04); and disease control rate (83% vs 72%; P = .02) vs patients not treated with PPIs. In multivariate analysis considering age, race, disease stage, and sex, PPI-treated patients had poorer PFS (HR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.42-1.94; P < .001) and OS (HR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.11-1.71; P = .001). In patients treated with CapeOx and lapatinib, PPIs had less effect on PFS (HR, 1.08; P = .54) and OS (HR, 1.26; P = .10); however, multivariate analysis in this group demonstrated a significant difference in OS (HR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.06-1.66; P = .03). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Proton pump inhibitors negatively effected capecitabine efficacy by possibly raising gastric pH levels, leading to altered dissolution and absorption. These results are consistent with previous erlotinib and sunitinib studies. Whether PPIs affected lapatinib is unclear given concurrent capecitabine. Given capecitabine's prevalence in treatment breast cancer and colon cancer, further studies are under way. TRIAL REGISTRATION: clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00680901.
