PG - 684-692 LID - 10.1111/bjh.18241 [doi] AB - Hodgkin variant Richter transformation (HvRT) is a rare and challenging complication of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) for which information on prognostic factors and treatment approaches remain limited. We analysed characteristics and survival outcomes of a population-based cohort of 32 patients with HvRT identified in British Columbia over a 40-year period. Median interval from CLL diagnosis to HvRT was 5.6 years (range, 0-33.6), with five cases diagnosed concurrently. Most patients (80%) had treatment for CLL prior to HvRT. Median age at HvRT was 71 years (range, 51-86) and the majority of patients had high-risk disease, including stage 3-4 in 87% and International Prognostic Score (IPS) >/= 4 in 65%. Two-year progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from HvRT were 47% (95% CI: 29%-64%) and 57% (95% CI: 38%-72%), respectively. OS from HvRT was significantly worse in those with anaemia (p = 0.02), elevated lactate dehydrogenase (p = 0.04), high IPS (p = 0.04), and worse performance status (p = 0.001). For those treated with curative-intent ABVD/ABVD-like therapy, 2-year PFS and OS were 70% (95% CI: 45%-85%) and 74% (95% CI: 49%-89%), respectively. In this real-world population-based cohort, HvRT was associated with poor clinical outcomes overall; however, those able to tolerate curative-intent therapy had similar survival to older patients with de novo HL.
