Fc?-receptor IIIA polymorphism p.158F has no negative predictive impact on rituximab therapy with and without sequential chemotherapy in CD20-positive posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder.

ABSTRACT: We retrospectively analyzed the p.V158F polymorphism of Fc?-receptor IIIA (FCGR3A, CD16) in patients with PTLD treated with rituximab monotherapy. Previous reports had indicated that the lower affinity F allele affects rituximab-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and is linked to inferior outcome of rituximab monotherapy in B cell malignancies. 25 patients with PTLD after solid organ transplantation were included in this analysis. They had received 4 weekly doses of rituximab as part of two clinical trials, which had a rituximab monotherapy induction regimen in common. 16/25 patients received further treatment with CHOP-21 after rituximab monotherapy (PTLD-1, NCT01458548). The FCGR3A status was correlated to the response after 4 cycles of rituximab monotherapy. Response to rituximab monotherapy was not affected by F carrier status. This is in contrast to previous findings in B cell malignancies where investigators found a predictive impact of FCGR3A status on outcome to rituximab monotherapy. One explanation for this finding could be that ADCC is impaired in transplant recipients receiving immunosuppression. These results suggest that carrying a FCRG3A F allele does not negatively affect rituximab therapy in immunosuppressed patients.

Project description:BackgroundPosttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a life-threatening complication of solid organ transplantation. Histologic heterogeneity and a lack of treatment standards have made evaluating clinical outcomes in specific patient populations difficult. This systematic literature review investigated the impact of the PTLD histologic subtype on survival in a large data set.MethodsCase series were identified on PubMed with the search terms post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder/disease, PTLD, and solid organ transplantation, with additional publications identified through reference lists. The patient characteristics, immunosuppressive regimen, treatment, survival, and follow-up time for 306 cases were extracted from 94 articles, and these cases were combined with 11 cases from Emory University Hospital. Patients with a recorded subtype were included in a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (n = 234). Cox proportional hazards regression analyses identified predictors of overall survival (OS) for each subtype and B-cell subgroup.ResultsOS differed significantly between monomorphic T-cell neoplasms (median, 9 months) and polymorphic, monomorphic B-cell, and Hodgkin-type neoplasms, for which the median OS was not reached (P = .0001). Significant differences in OS among B subgroups were not detected, but there was a trend toward decreased survival for patients with Burkitt-type PTLD. Kidney transplantation and a reduction of immunosuppression were associated with increased OS for patients with B-cell neoplasms in a multivariate analysis. Immunosuppression with azathioprine was associated with decreased OS for patients with T-cell neoplasms, whereas radiotherapy was associated with improved OS for patients with that subtype.ConclusionsThe histologic subtype represents an important prognostic factor in PTLD, with patients with T-cell neoplasms exhibiting very poor OS. Possibly lower survival for certain subsets of patients with B-cell PTLD should be explored further and suggests the need for subtype-specific therapies to improve outcomes.
