Brief summary

In the rituximab era, one-third of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients experience relapse/refractory disease after first-line anthracycline-based immunochemotherapy (IChemo). Optimal management remains an unmet medical need. The aim of this study was to report the outcomes of a cohort of refractory patients according to their patterns of refractoriness and the type of salvage option. The investigators performed a retrospective analysis, which included 104 DLBCL patients treated at Lyon Sud University Hospital (2002-2017) who presented with refractory disease. The investigators retrospectively evaluated the outcomes of a cohort of 104 refractory patients according to their patterns of refractoriness and the type of salvage option.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Outcome according to pattern of refractorinessUp to 4 yearsOS was defined as the time from first relapse, or progression, to death from any cause.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Outcome according to pattern of refractorinessUp tp 24 monthsEFS was defined as the time from first relapse, or progression, to the next event (defined as either second relapse/progression, change of therapy, or death from any cause). Patients who did not experience an event were censored at the last follow-up.
