Defining risk in Advanced stage Hodgkin lymphoma in modern era

• IPS 7 (age, stage, hemoglobin, lymphocytes, WBC, sex, albumin) remains prognostic, but range has narrowed.

• IPS 3:• Age• Stage• Hemoglobin

Diefenbach et al, BJH 171:530

HD9trial10yearfollow-upResultsbyIPSgroup

• 10 year follow-up

Engert et al, JCO 27:4548

The premise of risk-adapted therapy

• It is desirable to avoid over-treatment in favorable risk patients to avoid late toxicities.

•Early identification of high risk patients may prevent treatment failure

•PET after 2 cycles appears highly predictive of treatment failure with ABVD.

Nine of 336 eligible patients (2.7%) developed secondary malignancies, including 3 of 270 patients receiving ABVD (1%) and 6 of 49 (12.2%) who received at least 1 Cycle of eBEACOPP

S0816 long-term follow-upConclusions

• Response-adapted therapy appears to improve overall outcome over historic ABVD.

• Three quarters of the PFS events occurred in PET2 negative patients, indicating the limitations of this response-adapted approach, and emphasizing the need for additional biomarkers of failure at diagnosis.

• Twelve percent of patients who had a negative end of treatment PET ultimately had a progression event.

• It is still early, but second malignancies appear to be occurring at high rates in the BEACOPPesc arm.

The RATHL Trial: Summary

• In advanced HL, with a negative interim PET scan after two cycles of ABVD, it is safe to omit further bleomycin (↓ pulm toxicity) and reduce use of consolidation radiotherapy.

• Escalating therapy to escBEACOPP or BEACOPP14 for the 16% interim PET-positive patients delivers a promising PFS.

• Overall RATHL results better than previous ABVD trials, using more selective chemotherapy and much less radiotherapy.

RATHL Conclusions

• In advanced HL with a negative interim PET after 2x ABVD, it is safe to omit further bleomycin, with minimal consolidation radiotherapy.

• Escalation for 16% interim PET+:• 5yr PFS 66% & OS 85%

• Overall results from RATHL: 5yr PFS 79.5% and OS 93.5%, support an interim PET-adapted approach.

• Similar to SWOG experience, there are still about 20% of patients who ultimately will relapse with this approach.

UpdatedResultsoftheHD18Trial 124

-PFS for PET-2-positive patients treated with eBEACOPP is better than expected also with 5 years FU. Definition of PET-positivity in HD18 might have been too conservative.

-Toxicity was manageable in this large phase III trial, there not a single case of TRM, and a low incidence of SN.

-Reduced treatment intensity of only 6 cycles of eBEACOPP does not result in a relevant loss of efficacy in this patient cohort, but significantly reduces the incidence of severe toxicities.

ØVery favorable overall survival results.

ØEagerly await de-escalation question for PET-2 negative patients.
