Conditions

Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL)

Brief summary

The goal of this single-arm, prospective study is to learn if high dose gemcitabine, busulfan and thiotepa with autologous stem cell transplantation to treat primary or relapse central nervous system lymphomas. It will learn about the safety and efficacy of combination therapy. The main question it aims to answer is: Efficacy and safety of the combination of high dose gemcitabine, busulfan and thiotepa as a bridging therapy to ASCT in patients with CNSL. Participants will: Take gemcitabine (2.5 g/m²) was administered intravenously (IV) on Days -9 and -3, Busulfan (3.2 mg/kg) was given IV over 3 hours on Days -9 to -7, and thiotepa (5 mg/kg) was administered IV on Days -5, -4, and -3. Peripheral stem cells were infused on Day 0. Visit the clinic for checkups and tests in accordance with the International Primary CNS Lymphoma Group (IPCG). Researchers will observe the patients receiving GemBuTT regimen as conditioning therapy in CNSL.

Interventions

DRUGHigh dose Gemcitabine, Busulfan, and Thiotepa as conditioning therapy

Gemcitabine (2.5 g/m²) (Days -9 and -3), Busulfan (3.2 mg/kg) (Days -9 to -7), and Thiotepa (5 mg/kg) (Days -5, -4, and -3) were all administered intravenously. Peripheral stem cells were infused on Day 0.

MeasureTime frameDescription
PFS2 years from ASCTThe time from stem-cell reinfusion to disease progression, relapse, or death from any cause

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
OS2 years post ASCTThe time from ASCT to death from any cause
non-relapse mortality (NRM)100 daysNRM was defined as death without evidence of relapse or progression
Hematopoietic recovery30 daysNeutrophil recovery was defined as the first of three consecutive days with an absolute neutrophil count (CAN) ≥ 500/μL (0.5×109/L) after ASCT. Platelet recovery was defined as the first of three consecutive days with a platelet count ≥ 20 000/μL (20 ×109/L) without platelet transfusion for seven consecutive days.
Non-hematological adverse events (AEs)2 months
