BACKGROUND: Relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (R/R HL) is a challenging disease with limited treatment options beyond brentuximab vedotin and checkpoint inhibitors. Herein we present the time-trend analysis of R/R HL patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) at our center from 2001-2017.
METHODS: The patients were divided into two distinct treatment cohorts: era1 (2001-2010), and era2 (2011-2017). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), non-relapse mortality (NRM), and cumulative incidence of acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD).
RESULTS: Among the 51 patients included in the study, 29 were in era1, and 22 were in era2. There was decreased use of myeloablative conditioning in era2 (18% vs. 31%) compared to era1 and 95% of patients in era2 previously received brentuximab Vedotin (BV). Haploidentical donors were seen exclusively in era2 (0% vs. 14%) and more patients received alternative donor transplants (7% vs. 32%) in era2. The 4-year OS (34% vs. 83%, p < 0.001) and 4-year PFS (28% vs. 62%, p = 0.001) were significantly inferior in era1 compared to era2. The incidence of 1-year NRM was lower in era2 compared to era1 (5% vs. 34%, p = 0.06). The cumulative incidence of acute GVHD at day 100 was similar in both eras (p = 0.50), but the incidence of chronic GVHD at 1 year was higher in era2 compared to era1 (55% vs. 21%, p = 0.03).
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the advent of novel therapies, allo-HCT remains an important therapeutic option for patients with R/R HL.
