Résumé
Aggressive large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) has variable outcomes. Current prognostic tools employ factors for risk stratification that inadequately identify patients at high risk of refractory disease or relapse, prior to initial treatment. A model associating two risk-factors, total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV)>220 cm3 by F18-FDG-PET/CT and performance status (PS)>=2, identified as prognostic in 301 elderly patients in the REMARC trial (NCT01122472), was validated in 2174 patients of all ages treated in two clinical trials PETAL (n=510) and GOYA (n=1315), and in real-world clinics (n=349) across Europe and United States. Three risk categories, low (no factors), intermediate (one risk-factor), and high (two risk-factors), significantly discriminated outcome in most of the series. Patients with two risk factors had a worse outcome than patients with no risk factors in the PETAL, GOYA and real-world series: progression-free survival (PFS) hazard ratio (HR)=3.32 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.0-5.5), HR=2.85 (95% CI: 2.11-3.84), HR=3.85 (2.5-5.9) respectively; overall survival (OS) HR=3.85 (95% CI: 2.2-6.8), HR=3.35 (95% CI: 2.34-4.77), HR= 4.61 (2.9-7.3). Patients with intermediate risk also had a significantly worse outcome than patients with no risk factors. The TMTV/ECOG-PS combination outperformed the International Prognostic Index with a positive C-Index for PFS and OS in most of series. The combination of high TMTV >220 cm3 and ECOG-PS>=2 is a simple clinical model to identify pretreatment aggressive LBCL-risk categories. This combination addresses the unmet need to better predict before treatment initiation for aggressive LBCL, those patients likely to benefit the most or not at all from therapy.
