An expanded-access clinical study of thiotepa (DSP-1958) high-dose chemotherapy before autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with malignant lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Thiotepa, an antineoplastic ethylenimine alkylating agent that can penetrate the central nervous system, was recently approved in Japan as high-dose chemotherapy prior to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for patients with malignant lymphoma. To further evaluate the safety and efficacy of thiotepa, a multicenter, open-label, non-comparative, expanded access program was undertaken in Japan, including a larger population of Asian patients with malignant lymphoma. Intravenous thiotepa (200 mg/m²/day) was administered over 2 h on days -4 and -3 before scheduled HSCT, plus intravenous busulfan (0.8 mg/kg) over 2 h every 6 h on days -8, -7, -6 and -5. In the safety analysis population (N = 51), 25 patients (49.0%) had primary central nervous system lymphomas. The most common treatment-emergent adverse event was febrile neutropenia (49/51 [96.1%]). No unexpected safety events were observed, and no event resulted in death or treatment modification. Forty-seven patients (92.2%) had engraftment (neutrophil count ≥ 500/mm³ for three consecutive days after bone-marrow suppression and HSCT). The survival rate at day 100 post-transplantation was 100%. These data confirm the safety of thiotepa prior to autologous HSCT for patients with malignant lymphoma.Trial registration: JapicCTI-173654.

Project description:ImportancePrimary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) requires induction and consolidation to achieve potential cure. High-dose therapy and autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (AHCT) is an accepted and effective consolidation strategy for PCNSL, but no consensus exists on the optimal conditioning regimens.ObjectiveTo assess the outcomes in patients with PCNSL undergoing AHCT with the 3 most commonly used conditioning regimens: thiotepa/busulfan/cyclophosphamide (TBC), thiotepa/carmustine (TT-BCNU), and carmustine/etoposide/cytarabine/melphalan (BEAM).Design, setting, and participantsThis observational cohort study used registry data from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research registry. The Center is a working group of more than 380 transplantation centers worldwide that contributed detailed data on HCT to a statistical center at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. The participant data were from 603 adult patients with PCNSL who underwent AHCT as initial, or subsequent, consolidation between January 2010 and December 2018. Patients were excluded if they had a non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtype other than diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, systemic non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or HIV; received an uncommon conditioning regimen; or were not in partial remission or complete remission prior to AHCT. Statistical analysis was performed from July 5, 2020, to March 1, 2021.InterventionsPatients received 1 of 3 conditioning regimens: TBC (n = 263), TT-BCNU (n = 275), and BEAM (n = 65).Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was progression-free survival. Secondary outcomes included hematopoietic recovery, incidence of relapse, nonrelapse mortality, and overall survival.ResultsOf 603 patients, the mean age was 57 (range, 19-77) years and 318 (53%) were male. The 3-year adjusted progression-free survival rates were higher in the TBC cohort (75%) and TT-BCNU cohort (76%) compared with the BEAM cohort (58%) (P = .03) owing to a higher relapse risk in the BEAM cohort (hazard ratio [HR], 4.34; 95% CI, 2.45-7.70; P < .001). In a multivariable regression analysis, compared with the TBC cohort, patients who received TT-BCNU had a higher relapse risk (HR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.07-2.98; P = .03), lower risk of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.29-0.87; P = .01), and similar risk of all-cause mortality more than 6 months after HCT (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 0.93-2.55; P = .10). Age of 60 years or older, Karnofsky performance status less than 90, and an HCT-comorbidity index greater than or equal to 3 were associated with lower rates of survival across all 3 cohorts. Subgroup analyses demonstrated that patients aged 60 years and older had considerably higher NRM with TBC.Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study, thiotepa-based conditioning regimen was associated with higher rates of survival compared with BEAM, despite higher rates of early toxic effects and NRM; these findings may assist clinicians in choosing between TBC or TT-BCNU based on patient and disease characteristics.
