PG - 596-602 LID - 10.3109/10428194.2011.624227 [doi] AB - The purpose of the present study was to review retrospectively our results of double high-dose therapy with DICEP (dose-intensified cyclophosphamide 5.25 g/m(2), etoposide 1.05 g/m(2), and cisplatin 105 mg/m(2)) re-induction followed by high dose melphalan 200 mg/m(2) (HDM) and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for 73 consecutive patients with relapsed (n = 43) or refractory (n = 30) classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) treated between June 1995 and November 2009. DICEP chemotherapy resulted in successful stem cell mobilization in 71 patients (97%), with a median CD34 (+) cell collection of 15.6 x 10(6)/kg. With a median follow-up of 56 months post-DICEP, the 5-year progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 61% [95%CI = 49-72%] and 80% [95%CI = 69-89%], respectively. The 5-year PFS was 65% vs. 30% for DICEP responders vs. nonresponders (logrank p = 0.003) and 89% for International Prognostic Score (IPS) = 0-1, 56% for IPS = 2-3, and 24% for IPS = 4-7 (logrank p < 0.001). Response to DICEP and IPS at relapse were the only two factors that independently predicted PFS and OS in multivariate analyses. Treatment-related mortality was 1%. In conclusion, DICEP-HDM/ASCT is well tolerated double high-dose therapy associated with excellent stem cell mobilization and favorable PFS and OS outcomes for relapsed as well as primary refractory HL.
