CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND THERAPEUTIC TRIALS

Prognostic factors and treatment outcome in primary progressive Hodgkin lymphoma: a report from the German Hodgkin Lymphoma Study Group

Andreas Josting, Ulrich Rueffer, Jeremy Franklin, Markus Sieber, Volker Diehl, and Andreas Engert

From the First Department of Internal Medicine, University Hospital Cologne, and the German Hodgkin Lymphoma Study Group.

To determine prognostic factors and treatment outcome, patients with primary progressive Hodgkin lymphoma (HD) registered in the database of the German Hodgkin Lymphoma Study Group (GHSG) were analyzed retrospectively. Detailed records from randomized prospective multicenter trials performed between 1988 and 1998 of 3807 patients recruited in these trials were reviewed. The median age of the 206 patients available was 34 years (range, 16-71). Fifty-seven patients (28%) in intermediate stage and 149 patients (72%) in advanced stage developed progressive disease (PD). One hundred and fifty-three patients (74%) were treated with salvage chemotherapy, 47 patients (23%) with salvage radiotherapy, and 6 patients (3%) did not receive any therapy due to rapid PD. Seventy patients (34%) were treated with high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and autologous stem cell transplantation. The 5-year freedom from second failure (FF2F) and overall survival (OS) for all patients were 17% and 26%, respectively. The 5-year FF2F and OS for patients treated with HDCT were 31% and 43%, respectively. In multivariate analysis low Karnofsky performance score at the time of progression (P < .0001), age above 50 years (P = .019), and failure to attain a temporary remission on first-line treatment (P = .0003) were significant adverse prognostic factors for OS. Patients with none of these risk factors had a 5-year OS of 55% compared with 0% for patients with all 3 of these unfavorable prognostic factors. Although HDCT is a reasonable option for selected patients with primary progressive HD, the majority did not receive HDCT. Interestingly, salvage radiotherapy gave promising results in patients with localized PD.
