PG - 499-510 LID - 10.1007/s00277-023-05498-7 [doi] AB - The objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness and safety of zanubrutinib, rituximab, and lenalidomide (ZR(2)) in unfit patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Thrombosis or bleeding risk of ZR(2) regimen, especially when antiplatelet agents were co-prescribed, was also evaluated. We retrospectively reviewed unfit newly diagnosed (ND) and refractory or relapsed (R/R) patients with DLBCL who were administered with ZR(2) regimen in two medical centers between December 2019 and February 2022. Response rates, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), bleeding adverse events (AEs), and thrombosis episodes were analyzed. Furthermore, we investigated the effects of zanubrutinib alone or in combination with lenalidomide on platelet functions in vitro and in vivo. A total of 30 unfit patients (13 ND DLBCL and 17 R/R DLBCL patients) who received ZR(2) regimen were enrolled in the study (median age: 69.5 years). The ultimate ORRs for the ND DLBCL and R/R DLBCL were 77.0% and 50.1%, respectively. The median follow-up was 16.6 months. The median PFS and OS were not achieved during the follow-up time. Subcutaneous hemorrhage AEs occurred in four cases, three cases suffered severe bleeding events, and thrombosis events were observed in two patients. ZR(2) regimen inhibited platelet functions (aggregation, clot retraction, spreading and activation) in vitro and in vivo function testing especially in response to collagen. ZR(2) is an efficient treatment option for unfit patients with DLBCL and could be well tolerated. Notably, this regimen inhibited platelet functions. Antiplatelet agents should be used with caution in patients treated with this regimen. CI - (c) 2023. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.
