Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the activity and safety of a novel combination therapy for patients with recurrent or refractory aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).MethodsSix consecutive patients with recurrent or refractory aggressive NHL were treated with B-VIP regimen,boanmycin (5 mg/m2 on Days 1,4,8,12 and 15),vincristine (1.4 mg/m2 on Days 1,8 and 15),ifosfamide (1.2 g/m2 on Days 1,2,3 and 15,16,17) and prednisone (50 mg on Days 1 to 10),every 21 days.All the patients had received ≥5 cycles (average 8.3 cycles) of previous chemotherapy.ResultsSix patients (100 %) were evaluable for response.The overall objective response rate was 66.7 % (4 patients),including 1 case complete (CR) and 3 cases partial responses.Myelosuppression was the most frequent serious complication of this regimen.ConclusionIn the current study,B-VIP was a highly active and safe combination therapy for patients with refractory disease with a poor prognosis or for patients with multiply recurrent aggressive NHL.
