    Abstract:

    PURPOSE We explored the potential overall survival (OS) benefit of bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin (Adriamycin), cyclophosphamide, vincristine (Oncovin), procarbazine, and prednisone (BEACOPP) over doxorubicin (Adriamycin), bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) in a pooled analysis of four randomized trials. PATIENTS AND METHODS Primary objective was to evaluate the OS impact of BEACOPP using individual patient data. Secondary objectives were progression-free survival (PFS), secondary cancers, and use of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). RESULTS About 1227 patients were included. The 7-year OS was 84.3% (95% CI 80.8-87.2) for ABVD vs 87.7% (95% CI 84.5-90.2) for BEACOPP. Two follow-up periods were identified based on survival curves and hazard ratio (HR) over time. For the first 18 months, there was no difference. For the second period of ≥18 months, ABVD patients had a higher death risk (HRABVD vs BEACOPP  = 1.59; 95% CI 1.09-2.33). A Cox model stratified by trial and evaluating the effect of treatment and International Prognostic Index (IPI) score as fixed effects showed that both were statistically significant (treatment, P = .0185; IPI score, P = .0107). The 7-year PFS was 71.1% (95% CI 67.1-74.6) for ABVD vs 81.1% (95% CI 77.5-84.2) for BEACOPP (P

    Abstract:

    Purpose For early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), optimal chemotherapy regimen and the number of cycles to be delivered remain to settle down. The H9-U trial compared three modalities of chemotherapy followed by involved-field radiotherapy (IFRT) in patients with stage I-II HL and risk factors (NCT00005584). Patients and methods Patients aged 15–70 years with untreated supradiaphragmatic HL with at least one risk factor (age ≥ 50, involvement of 4–5 nodal areas, mediastinum/thoracic ratio ≥ 0.35, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) ≥ 50 without B-symptoms or ESR ≥ 30 and B-symptoms) were eligible for the randomised, open label, multicentre, non-inferiority H9-U trial. The limit of non-inferiority was set at 10% for the difference between 5-year event-free survival (EFS) estimates. From October 1998 to September 2002, 808 patients were randomised to receive either the control arm 6-ABVD-IFRT (n = 276), or one of the two experimental arms: 4-ABVD-IFRT (n = 277) or 4-BEACOPPbaseline-IFRT (n = 255). Results Results in the 4-ABVD-IFRT (5-year EFS, 85.9%) and the 4-BEACOPPbaseline-IFRT (5-year EFS, 88.8%) were not inferior to 6-ABVD-IFRT (5-year EFS, 89.9%): difference of 4.0% (90%CI, -0.7%–8.8%) and of 1.1% (90%CI,-3.5%–5.6%) respectively. The 5-year overall survival estimates were 94%, 93%, and 93%, respectively. Patients treated with combined modality treatment chemotherapeutic regimen comprising doxorubicin (Adriamycin), bleomycin, vincristine (Oncovin), cyclophosphamide, procarbazine, etoposide and prednisone (BEACOPP)baseline more often developed serious adverse events requiring supportive measures and hospitalisation compared with patients receiving the chemotherapeutic regimen comprising doxorubicin (Adriamycin), bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (ABVD). Conclusions The trial demonstrates that 4-ABVD followed by IFRT yields high disease control in patients with early-stage HL and risk factors responding to chemotherapy. Although non-inferior in terms of efficacy, four cycles of BEACOPPbaseline were more toxic than four or six cycles of ABVD.

  • outcome of patients older than 60 years with classical hodgkin lymphoma treated with front line ABVD chemotherapy frequent pulmonary events suggest limiting the use of bleomycin in the elderly
    British Journal of Haematology, 2015
    Co-Authors: A Stamatoullas, Pauline Brice, Reda Bouabdallah, Sylvain Mareschal, Vincent Camus, Ilhem Rahal, Patricia Franchi, Helene Lanic, Herve Tilly
    Abstract:

    Summary There is no standard of care in elderly classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) patients. ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine), the standard chemotherapy for younger patients, is also used in elderly patients but little is known about toxicity and efficacy. We retrospectively analysed 147 patients aged 60 years and over treated with ABVD in three French haematological centres. Treatment regimen modification was applied in 56 patients for toxicity or HL progression. Bleomycin was removed or reduced in 53 patients, mainly for pulmonary toxicity. Neither initial characteristics nor treatment characteristics were found to correlate with lung toxicity. One hundred and seventeen patients achieved a complete remission, 6 a partial remission, 16 had refractory disease and 8 were non-evaluable. Five-year overall survival was estimated at 67%. With a median follow-up of 58 months, 51 patients died and 14% of deaths were related to lung toxicity. Our study confirms the efficacy of ABVD in elderly patients even if results are inferior to those obtained in younger patients with the same regimen. ABVD can be proposed as front-line chemotherapy in selected elderly cHL patients. The frequency of pulmonary events leads us to propose to either reduce the dose of bleomycin or to remove it from the regimen.

    Co-Authors: Nicolas Mounier, Pauline Brice, Olivier Casasnovas, Isabelle Gaillard, Serge Bologna, Josette Briere, Marian Heczko, Jean Gabarre, Jerome Jaubert, P Colin
    Abstract:

    Background: Treatment with escalated BEACOPP achieved a superior time to treatment failure over ABVD in patients with disseminated Hodgkin lymphoma. However, recent clinical trials have failed to confirm BEACOPP overall survival (OS) superiority over ABVD. In addition, the gain in low-risk patients is still a matter of debate. Patients and methods: We randomly compared ABVD (8 cycles) with BEACOPP (escalated 4 cycles ≥baseline 4 cycles) in low-risk patients with an International Prognostic Score (IPS) of 0-2. The primary end point was event-free survival (EFS). This parallel group, open-label phase 3 trial was registered under #RECF0219 at French National Cancer Institute. Results: One hundred and fifty patients were randomized in this trial (ABVD 80, BEACOPP 70): 28 years was the median age, 50% were male and IPS was 0-1 for 64%. Complete remission rate was 85% for ABVD and 90% for BEACOPP. Progression or relapses were more frequent in the ABVD patients than in the BEACOPP patients (17 versus 5 patients). With a median follow-up period of 5.5 years, seven patients died: six in the ABVD arm and one in the BEACOPP arm (HL 3 and 0, 2nd cancer 2 and 1, accident 1 and 0). The EFS at 5 years was estimated at 62% for ABVD versus 77%, for BEACOPP [hazards ratio (HR) = 0.6, P = 0.07]. The progression-free survival (PFS) at 5 years was 75% versus 93% (HR = 0.3, P=0.007). The OS at 5 years was 92% versus 99% (HR = 0.18, P = 0.06). Conclusion: Fewer progressions/relapses were observed with BEACOPP, demonstrating the high efficacy of the more intensive regimen, even in low-risk patients. However, additional considerations, balancing treatment-related toxicity and late morbidity due to salvage may help with decision-making with regard to treatment with ABVD or BEACOPP. © The Author 2014.

After ABVD, 25 secondary cancers (4.0%) were reported with no myelodysplasia (MDS)/acute myeloid leukemia (AML) compared to 36 (6.5%) after BEACOPP, which included 13 patients with MDS/AML. Following ABVD, 86 patients (13.8%) received ASCT vs 39 (6.4%) for BEACOPP. CONCLUSIONS This analysis showed a slight improvement in OS for BEACOPP and confirmed a PFS benefit. Frontline use of BEACOPP instead of ABVD increased secondary leukemia incidence but halved the requirement for ASCT.

    Abstract:

    PURPOSE We explored the potential overall survival (OS) benefit of bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin (Adriamycin), cyclophosphamide, vincristine (Oncovin), procarbazine, and prednisone (BEACOPP) over doxorubicin (Adriamycin), bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) in a pooled analysis of four randomized trials.

    PURPOSE We explored the potential overall survival (OS) benefit of bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin (Adriamycin), cyclophosphamide, vincristine (Oncovin), procarbazine, and prednisone (BEACOPP) over doxorubicin (Adriamycin), bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) in a pooled analysis of four randomized trials. PATIENTS AND METHODS Primary objective was to evaluate the OS impact of BEACOPP using individual patient data. Secondary objectives were progression-free survival (PFS), secondary cancers, and use of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). RESULTS About 1227 patients were included. The 7-year OS was 84.3% (95% CI 80.8-87.2) for ABVD vs 87.7% (95% CI 84.5-90.2) for BEACOPP. Two follow-up periods were identified based on survival curves and hazard ratio (HR) over time. For the first 18 months, there was no difference. For the second period of ≥18 months, ABVD patients had a higher death risk (HRABVD vs BEACOPP  = 1.59; 95% CI 1.09-2.33). A Cox model stratified by trial and evaluating the effect of treatment and International Prognostic Index (IPI) score as fixed effects showed that both were statistically significant (treatment, P = .0185; IPI score, P = .0107). The 7-year PFS was 71.1% (95% CI 67.1-74.6) for ABVD vs 81.1% (95% CI 77.5-84.2) for BEACOPP (P

    Abstract:

    Purpose For early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), optimal chemotherapy regimen and the number of cycles to be delivered remain to settle down. The H9-U trial compared three modalities of chemotherapy followed by involved-field radiotherapy (IFRT) in patients with stage I-II HL and risk factors (NCT00005584). Patients and methods Patients aged 15–70 years with untreated supradiaphragmatic HL with at least one risk factor (age ≥ 50, involvement of 4–5 nodal areas, mediastinum/thoracic ratio ≥ 0.35, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) ≥ 50 without B-symptoms or ESR ≥ 30 and B-symptoms) were eligible for the randomised, open label, multicentre, non-inferiority H9-U trial. The limit of non-inferiority was set at 10% for the difference between 5-year event-free survival (EFS) estimates. From October 1998 to September 2002, 808 patients were randomised to receive either the control arm 6-ABVD-IFRT (n = 276), or one of the two experimental arms: 4-ABVD-IFRT (n = 277) or 4-BEACOPPbaseline-IFRT (n = 255). Results Results in the 4-ABVD-IFRT (5-year EFS, 85.9%) and the 4-BEACOPPbaseline-IFRT (5-year EFS, 88.8%) were not inferior to 6-ABVD-IFRT (5-year EFS, 89.9%): difference of 4.0% (90%CI, -0.7%–8.8%) and of 1.1% (90%CI,-3.5%–5.6%) respectively. The 5-year overall survival estimates were 94%, 93%, and 93%, respectively. Patients treated with combined modality treatment chemotherapeutic regimen comprising doxorubicin (Adriamycin), bleomycin, vincristine (Oncovin), cyclophosphamide, procarbazine, etoposide and prednisone (BEACOPP)baseline more often developed serious adverse events requiring supportive measures and hospitalisation compared with patients receiving the chemotherapeutic regimen comprising doxorubicin (Adriamycin), bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (ABVD). Conclusions The trial demonstrates that 4-ABVD followed by IFRT yields high disease control in patients with early-stage HL and risk factors responding to chemotherapy. Although non-inferior in terms of efficacy, four cycles of BEACOPPbaseline were more toxic than four or six cycles of ABVD.

    Abstract:

    Background: Treatment with escalated BEACOPP achieved a superior time to treatment failure over ABVD in patients with disseminated Hodgkin lymphoma. However, recent clinical trials have failed to confirm BEACOPP overall survival (OS) superiority over ABVD. In addition, the gain in low-risk patients is still a matter of debate. Patients and methods: We randomly compared ABVD (8 cycles) with BEACOPP (escalated 4 cycles ≥baseline 4 cycles) in low-risk patients with an International Prognostic Score (IPS) of 0-2. The primary end point was event-free survival (EFS). This parallel group, open-label phase 3 trial was registered under #RECF0219 at French National Cancer Institute. Results: One hundred and fifty patients were randomized in this trial (ABVD 80, BEACOPP 70): 28 years was the median age, 50% were male and IPS was 0-1 for 64%. Complete remission rate was 85% for ABVD and 90% for BEACOPP. Progression or relapses were more frequent in the ABVD patients than in the BEACOPP patients (17 versus 5 patients). With a median follow-up period of 5.5 years, seven patients died: six in the ABVD arm and one in the BEACOPP arm (HL 3 and 0, 2nd cancer 2 and 1, accident 1 and 0). The EFS at 5 years was estimated at 62% for ABVD versus 77%, for BEACOPP [hazards ratio (HR) = 0.6, P = 0.07]. The progression-free survival (PFS) at 5 years was 75% versus 93% (HR = 0.3, P=0.007). The OS at 5 years was 92% versus 99% (HR = 0.18, P = 0.06). Conclusion: Fewer progressions/relapses were observed with BEACOPP, demonstrating the high efficacy of the more intensive regimen, even in low-risk patients. However, additional considerations, balancing treatment-related toxicity and late morbidity due to salvage may help with decision-making with regard to treatment with ABVD or BEACOPP. © The Author 2014.

    Abstract:

    8002 Background: Escalated BEACOPP and derivatives achieved superior time to treatment failure (FFTF) over COPP/ABVD, resulting in higher overall survival (OS) for advanced HL. However, later clinical trials have failed to confirm OS superiority over ABVD. Methods: Eligibility criteria: clinical stage III/IV HL, International prognostic score (IPS) ≥ 3, age<60. We compared ABVD (8 cycles) vs. BEACOPP (escalated 4 cycles ≥ baseline 4), without irradiation. Randomization was stratified for institution and IPS. Primary endpoint was EFS, defined as treatment discontinuation, no complete response (CR) after 8 cycles, progression, relapse or death. Additional endpoints were CR, progression free survival (PFS), OS, quality of life and secondary malignancies. Outcomes were reviewed by study coordinators to ensure consistency across pts. Results: From 2002-2010, 549 pts were randomized (ABVD 275, BEACOPP 274): stage IV 74%, PS 0, 1, 2: 34, 48 and 17%, B-symptoms 81%, median age 35.2y, males 75%. IPS was 4 or highe...

    Abstract:

    The aim of the trial was to compare three modalities of chemotherapy and involved-field radiotherapy (IF-RT) in adult patients with supradiaphragmatic CS I-II HL with risk factors. Patients were randomized if they presented with age ≥ 50, or CS II4–5, or A + ESR ≥ 50, or B + ESR ≥ 30, or MT ratio ≥ 0.35. The trial compared ABVD x 6 cycles and IF-RT (36–40 Gy) vs ABVD x 4 cycles and IF-RT vs BEACOPP baseline x 4 cycles and IF-RT. From October 1998 to September 2002, 808 patients were enrolled in 111 institutions from 10 European countries. The proportions of grade 3–4 chemotherapy-related hematological toxicity (mainly WBC) were 74%, 70% and 63%, respectively; That of grade 1–3 RT-related hematological toxicity were 10%, 12% and 17%, respectively. Ten (2+3+5, 1%) patients stopped chemotherapy because of toxicity and 8 (2+2+4, 1%) refused the treatment; Six (2+2+2, 1%) patients stopped radiotherapy because of toxicity and 9 (3+1+5, 1%) refused the treatment. The proportions of patients in CR/CRu were 74%, 71% and 59% after 6, 4 ABVD and 4 BEACOPP, respectively. After a median follow-up of 57 months (range 33–81), 78 events (26 progressions, 37 relapses, 15 deaths) were observed. At July 2005, the 4-year event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) rates are as follows: | Treatment | No. Pts | CR-CRu /PR /NC-PD | 4-yr EFS | 4-yr OS | |:-----------------:| ------- | ----------------- | -------- | ------- | | 6 ABVD + IF-RT | 276 | 87% /8% /5% | 91% | 95% | | 4 ABVD + IF-RT | 277 | 86% /11% /3% | 87% | 94% | | 4 BEACOPP + IF-RT | 255 | 84% /12% /4% | 90% | 93% | | P value | | 0.607 | 0.380 | 0.978 | Overall, 42 patients have died of progressive disease (5, 7 and 7 patients), treatment-related complication (7, 5 and 2), intercurrent disease (1, 0 and 2), second malignancy (1 NHL, 0 and 1 AML) or cause unspecified (0, 3 and 1). These preliminary results indicate that a combination of 4 cycles of ABVD and IF-RT is sufficient to cure a large majority of HL patients with unfavorable early stage disease and that BEACOPP baseline has no advantage over ABVD in these patients.
