ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and prognostic factors of high-dose therapy/autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT) in treating refractory and relapsed peripheral T-cell lymphoma (R/R PTCL). Methods We included medical records from 48 R/R PTCL patients treated with HDT/ASCT at the Beijing Cancer Hospital from January 2003 to December 2021, and these patients were followed up. Results We followed up with patients for a median of 71.0 months (interquartile range 48.8-124.4 months). The progression-free survival (PFS) at five years was 43.4%, and the five-year overall survival (OS) was 54.7. The five-year PFS and subgroups were as follows 14 patients with anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (57.1%, 62.9%), 14 patients with NK/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) (28.6%, 28.6%), nine with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (44.4%, 51.9%), and 11 with PTCL not otherwise specified (41.6%, 80.8%). Univariate analysis revealed that females had a better PFS than males (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.301, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.091-0.996, P = 0.049); the NKTCL type had worse OS than the non-NKTCL type (HR = 0.292, 95% CI 0.122-0.698, P = 0.006); the patients with the relapsed disease did better than those with refractory disease (HR for PFS 0.161, 95% CI 0.072-0.357, P < 0.001; HR for OS 0.171, 95% CI 0.066-0.444, P < 0.001). The PIT score was significantly better for T-cell lymphoma with score = 0 than for score ≥ 1 group (HR for PFS 0.261, 95% CI 0.109-0.625, P = 0.003; HR for OS 0.305, 95% CI 0.111-0.842, P = 0.022). The pre-transplantation disease status also influences survival. Patients who achieved complete response (CR) did better (HR for PFS 0.104, 95% CI 0.044-0.247, P < 0.001; HR for OS 0.139, 95% CI 0.050-0.383, P < 0.001). Pre-transplantation status was an independent influencing factor associated with PFS and OS (better survival in those achieving CR) (HR for PFS 0.126, 95% CI 0.030-0.530, P = 0.005; HR for OS 0.154, 95% CI 0.040-0.603, P = 0.007); the pathological classification independently influenced OS (better in the those with non-NKTCL) (HR = 0.210, 95% CI 0.081-0.549, P = 0.001). CR, with a PIT score of 0 (n = 17), was associated with more prolonged PFS. None of the 48 patients experienced HDT/ASCT-related deaths. Conclusion HDT/ASCT as a salvage therapy for R/R PTCL patients can partially improve outcomes with a favorable safety profile. Prospective, randomized, and controlled studies are necessary to validate the value of HDT/ASCT for patients with diverse pathological subtypes and pre-transplantation states.
