Efficacies and Toxicities of Seven Chemotherapy Regimens for Advanced Hodgkin Lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Background/Aims: Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) has become one of the most treatable cancers, with more than 80% patients in the advanced stage being cured through improvement of therapeutic regimens. Nevertheless, some treatments were accompanied with toxicities. Methods: In the current study, a network meta-analysis (NMA) was conducted to compare the efficacies and toxicities of different chemotherapy regimens for advanced Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). We reviewed PubMed and EMBASE databases from inception to May 2018, and identified randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in which advanced HL patients received chemotherapy. Fourteen eligible RCTs published between 1992 and 2017 were enrolled in this NMA. These studies included a total of 5,964 HL patients, and assessed at least one of seven different chemotherapy regimens. Direct and indirect evidence was combined to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs), and to establish a surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) curve. Results: A cluster analysis was performed to evaluate efficacies and toxicities of different regimens. The COPP + ABVD (cyclophosphamide + vincristine + procarbazine + prednisone + doxorubicin + bleomycin + vinblastine + dacarbazine) regimen had the highest SUCRA partial response and overall remission rate values, while the ABVD regimen resulted in the lowest incidences of anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and leucopenia. Conclusion: Cluster analysis revealed that COPP + ABVD had the best efficacy against advanced HL among the seven regimens, and ABVD had the lowest toxicity.

Project description:BackgroundOvarian cancer (OC) is the 5th leading cause of cancer-related deaths around the world, and several chemotherapy regimens have been applied in the treatment of OC. We aim to compare toxicities of different chemotherapy regimens in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) using network meta-analysis.MethodsLiterature research in Cochrane Library, PubMed, and EMBASE was performed up to November 2015. Eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of different chemotherapy regimens were included. Network meta-analysis combined direct and indirect evidence to assess pooled odds ratios (ORs) and draw the surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) curves.ResultsThirteen eligible RCTs were included in this network meta-analysis, including 8 chemotherapy regimens (paclitaxel + carboplatin [PC], pegylated liposomal doxorubicin [PLD] + carboplatin, carboplatin, gemcitabine + carboplatin, paclitaxel, PC + epirubicin, PC + topotecan, docetaxel + carboplatin). Gemcitabine + carboplatin regimen exerted higher incidence of anemia when compared with carboplatin and paclitaxel regimens. The incidence of febrile neutropenia of gemcitabine + carboplatin regimen was higher than that of PC, PLD + carboplatin, carboplatin, and PC + topotecan regimens. Topotecan PC + epirubicin regimen had a higher toxicity, comparing with PC, PLD + carboplatin, and PC + topotecan regimens. As for thrombocytopenia, gemcitabine + carboplatin chemotherapy regimen produced an obviously higher toxicity than PC and carboplatin. As for nausea, PLD + carboplatin chemotherapy regimen had a significantly higher toxicity than that of carboplatin chemotherapy regimen. Moreover, when compared with PC and carboplatin chemotherapy regimens, the toxicity of PC + epirubicin was greatly higher to patients with AOC.ConclusionThe nonhematologic toxicity of PLD + carboplatin regimen was higher than other regimens, which was clinically significant for the treatment of AOC.

Project description:BackgroundNasal-type extranodal natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a rare and aggressive type of lymphoma. The optimal chemotherapy regimen for ENKTL has not yet been established. In this study, we compared the LVDP (L-asparaginase, etoposide, dexamethasone, and cisplatin) and GLIDE (gemcitabine, L-asparaginase, ifosfamide, dexamethasone, and etoposide) chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of ENKTL.MethodsA total of 267 patients with newly diagnosed ENKTL were included in this retrospective study. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to adjust for confounders between the LVDP and GLIDE groups. Treatment responses, survival outcomes, and toxicities between the two groups were compared before and after PSM.ResultsAt the end of therapy, the objective response rate (ORR) and complete response (CR) were 83.5% and 62.2%, respectively, for all patients. The ORR and CR were 85.5% and 62.2% for the LVDP group compared with 79.3% and 62.2% for the GLIDE group, respectively, and no differences between the two groups were found (ORR, p = 0.212; CR, p = 0.996). With a median 71 months follow-up, the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 64.3% and 68.5%, respectively. The 5-year PFS and OS were 65.6% and 70.1% for the LVDP group compared with 61.6% and 64.6% for the GLIDE group, respectively (PFS, p = 0.478; OS, p = 0162). After PSM, no significant differences in short-term efficacy (ORR, p = 0.696; CR, p = 0.264) or long-term efficacy (PFS, p = 0.794; OS, p = 0.867) between the two groups were identified. However, treatment-related toxicities were milder in the LVDP group compared to the GLIDE group, even after adjusting for confounders via PSM.ConclusionIn conclusion, both LVDP and GLIDE regimens are effective for the treatment of ENKTL. However, the LVDP regimen is safer than the GLIDE regimen, with milder treatment-related toxicities. Therefore, the LVDP regimen could be a preferable option for patients with ENKTL.
