Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is characterized by poor prognosis with a median survival of only 3-4 years. To improve clinical outcome, the European MCL Network initiated a randomized trial, comparing consolidation with myeloablative radiochemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) to -interferon maintenance (IFN ) in first remission. Patients up to 65 years of age with advanced stage MCL were assigned to ASCT or IFN after achievement of complete or partial remission by a CHOP-like induction therapy. According to the International Prognostic Index (IPI) 43% of patients had a low-risk, 41% a low-intermediate, 11% a high-intermediate and 6% a high risk profile. 62 of 122 patients proceeded to ASCT and 60 received IFN . Patients in the ASCT arm experienced a significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) with a median of 39 months compared to 17 months for patients in the IFN arm (p = 0.0108). The three year overall survival (OS) was 83% after ASCT vs. 77% in the IFN group (p = 0.18). Early consolidation by myeloablative radiochemotherapy followed by ASCT is feasible and results in a significant prolongation of PFS in advanced stage MCL. Longer follow-up is needed to determine the effect on OS.
