Abstract Nontransplant therapeutic options for acquired and constitutional aplastic anemia have significantly expanded during the last 5 years. In the future, transplant may be required less frequently. That trilineage hematologic responses could be achieved with the single agent eltrombopag in refractory aplastic anemia promotes new interest in growth factors after years of failed trials using other growth factor agents. Preliminary results adding eltrombopag to immunosuppressive therapy are promising, but long-term follow-up data evaluating clonal evolution rates are required before promoting its standard use in treatment-naive disease. Danazol, which is traditionally less preferred for treating cytopenias, is capable of preventing telomere attrition associated with hematologic responses in constitutional bone marrow failure resulting from telomere disease.

8050 Background: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy has been regarded as one of the standard management for localized nasal NKTCL. However, its long-term efficacy and toxicity is not known. Methods: The JCOG0211 trial is a phase I/II study of concurrent chemoradiotherapy consisting of radiotherapy (RT) of 50 Gy and 3 cycles of DeVIC (carboplatin, etoposide, ifosfamide, dexamethasone) for newly diagnosed, localized nasal NKTCL (JCO 2009). Patients (Pts) with newly diagnosed, localized diseases (IE & contiguous IIE with cervical node involvement) who were 20-69 yrs of age with PS 0-2 were eligible. 3-D conformal RT planning with a wide margin (+ 2 cm to the gross tumor, the entire nasal cavity and the nasopharynx) and a 2-step cone down were required. 33 pts were enrolled in the study, 27 of whom were treated with RT and a 2/3-dose of DeVIC, which was selected as the recommended phase II dose in the preceding phase I portion of the trial. All pts completed RT without any protocol violations. Long-term follow-up results on overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and toxicity were evaluated. Results: The median follow-up was 69 months (range, 62-96). The pt (N=33) characteristics were as follows: median age 54 yrs (range, 21-68); stage IIE 33%; B symptom (+) 36%; elevated serum LDH 21%. %5-yr OS and PFS were 73% (95%CI, 54-85%) and 67% (95%CI, 48-80%), respectively. 11 pts (33%) experienced disease recurrence. Two achieved a 2nd CR by salvage chemotherapies followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation, and the remaining 9 pts died of disease. There was no observed death and disease progression after 34 and 31 months, respectively. One pt experienced Grade 3 irregular menstruation for 3 years. No other Grade 3 or 4 late non-RT-associated adverse events (AEs) were observed. One pt received plastic surgery due to Grade 4 RT dermatitis. No other Grade 3 or greater RT-associated late AEs were encountered. Conclusions: Both survival benefit and disease control from concurrent chemoradiotherapy with RT and DeVIC are maintained during a 5-yr follow-up, indicating the excellent efficacy of this approach as a first-line therapy for localized nasal NKTCL. Long-term toxicity is acceptable.
