The optimal timing in which to use intensive chemotherapy and autologous
bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in Hodgkin's disease (HD) is uncertain.
In 1985, we initiated a program in which this modality was used as the
initial salvage therapy in patients relapsing after combination
chemotherapy. Fifty-eight patients with HD in first relapse after primary
chemotherapy received conditioning with high-dose cyclophosphamide,
carmustine, etoposide (VP16-213) +/- cisplatin (CBV +/- P) followed by
autologous BMT. All but six of these patients were given a median of two
cycles of conventional chemotherapy +/- involved field radiation therapy
before CBV +/- P and autologous BMT. These measures were not used as a
means for patients selection; all patients receiving such therapy
ultimately were transplanted. The probability of nonrelapse mortality,
progression of HD, and progression-free survival post-BMT were calculated,
and prognostic factors for progression-free survival were evaluated using
the Cox proportional hazards method. Treatment-related deaths occurred in
only three patients. Thirteen patients have relapsed at a median 0.7 years
(range 0.1 to 3.5) post- BMT. At a median follow-up of 2.3 years (range 0.4
to 7.2), the actuarial progression-free survival is 64% (95% confidence
interval, 46% to 78%). In the statistical analysis, three similarly
weighted but independent prognostic factors were identified: "B" symptoms
at relapse, extranodal disease at relapse, and initial remission duration
of less than 1 year. Patients with no risk factors had a 3-year
progression-free survival of 100%, compared with 81% in patients with one
factor, 40% in those with two factors, and 0% in patients with all three
factors. CBV +/- P and autologous BMT is highly effective salvage therapy
for HD patients in a first relapse, particularly in the subset of patients
with less than two adverse factors. Therapy must be improved in the future
for patients with > or = 2 adverse factors.
