Background Cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CHOP) or CHOP-like chemotherapy is widely used for treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Given the poor response to CHOP-based regimens and the potential anti-lymphoma activity by alternating chemotherapy in PTCL, we conducted a phase 2, multi-center, randomized, controlled trial, comparing the efficacy and safety of CEOP/IVE/GDP alternating regimen with CEOP in a Chinese cohort of newly diagnosed patients with PTCL. Methods The primary endpoint of the study was the complete response rate (CRR). Patients with newly diagnosed PTCL, except for anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL)- anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive, were 1:1 randomly assigned. Patients in the CEOP/IVE/GDP group received intravenous cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m², epirubicin 70 mg/m², and vincristine 1.4 mg/m² (up to a maximum of 2 mg) on day 1, and oral prednisone 60 mg/m2 (up to a maximum of 100 mg) on day 1-5 every 21 days, at the 1st and 4th cycle with CEOP. Intravenous ifosfamide 2000 mg/m2 on day 1-3, epirubicin 70 mg/m2 on day 1, and etoposide 100 mg/m2 on day 1-4 every 21 days, at the 2nd and 5th cycle with IVE. Intravenous gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² on day 1, and 8, cisplatin 25 mg/m² on day 1-3, and dexamethasone 40mg on day 1-4 every 21 days, at the 3rd and 6th cycle with GDP, for a total of 6 cycles. Patients in the CEOP group received standard CEOP regimen every 21 days for 6 cycles. Analysis of efficacy and safety was of the intent-to-treat population. The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02533700. Findings Between Sep 22, 2015 and Sep 23, 2018, 102 patients were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: 51 each to the CEOP/IVE/GDP and the CEOP group. One patient was excluded because of the change of diagnosis and 3 patients withdrew informed consent before treatment in both study groups. 49 patients in the CEOP/IVE/GDP group and 49 patients in the CEOP group were included into efficacy and safety analysis as intent-to-treatment population. CRR at the end of treatment (EOT) in the CEOP/IVE/GDP group was similar as the CEOP group (36.7% vs. 32.7%, OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.36-1.88; p=0.835), while overall response rate (ORR) at EOT was higher in the CEOP/IVE/GDP group (73.5% vs. 51.0%, OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.17-0.86; p=0.037). There was no difference in median progression-free survival (15.4 months [95% CI 9.8-21.1] vs 10.7 months [4.5-16.8]; HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.45-1.18; p=0.20) or overall survival (24.3 months [95% CI 17.0-31.6] vs 21.9 months [7.5-36.2]; HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.41-1.17; p=0.17) between the CEOP/IVE/GDP and the CEOP group. Grade 3-4 hematological and non-hematological adverse events were similar between two study groups. Interpretation CEOP/IVE/GDP regimen showed similar CRR at EOT as CEOP regimen in PTCL. Nevertheless, CEOP/IVE/GDP increased ORR at EOT and could potentially bridge more patients to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Aim: To compare the outcomes of GDPT [gemcitabine (G), cisplatin (D), prednisone (P), thalidomide (T)] versus CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) in treating newly diagnosed PTCL (peripheral T-cell lymphoma). Methods: An open-label prospective clinical trial with 153 newly diagnosed PTCL patients conducted between January 2010 and December 2018 was designed. Patients were randomly assigned to the GDPT (77 cases) and CHOP (76 cases) groups. Patients in each group were further divided into four subgroups: PTCL, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS); anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL), and other types subgroup, in accordance with pathological patterns. Based on expression of RRM1, TOP2A, TUBB3, and ERCC1, patients were divided into groups with high and low gene expression levels. Clinical characteristics, side effects, efficacy, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were compared. Results: There were no significant differences in the basic clinical features or side effects between the GDPT and CHOP groups. The overall response rate (ORR) of the GDPT group was better than that of the CHOP group (66.3% versus 50.0%, p = 0.042), as was the complete remission (CR) rate (42.9% versus 27.6%, p = 0.049). Patients in the GDPT group had a longer PFS and OS than the CHOP group. The 4-year PFS and OS rates in the GDPT group were both superior to those in the CHOP group (63.6% versus 53.0% for PFS, p = 0.035; 66.8% versus 53.6% for OS, p = 0.039). In the GDPT group, the difference in CR between the four subgroups was statistically significant ( p = 0.046). In the CHOP group, differences in both CR and ORR among the four subgroups were statistically significant ( p < 0.001 and p = 0.005, respectively). There were also statistically significant differences in CR between patients treated with CHOP and GDPT in the PTCL-NOS subgroup, AITL subgroup, and the other types subgroup ( p = 0.015; p = 0.003; p = 0.005, respectively). The data also showed a significant difference in OS among the four subgroups within the GDPT group ( p = 0.001). The OS of AITL was shorter than that of the other three subgroups. Four subgroups of CHOP showed a significant difference in PFS ( p = 0.019). There was no statistical association between responses and the gene expression levels of RRM1, ERCC1, TUBB3, and TOP2A. Conclusion: The GDPT group had better response rates and prolonged patient PFS and OS. As a promising new regimen, GDPT is expected to become the first-line therapy for PTCL. New agents should be applied to patients who do not achieve good responses with previous treatment, such as those diagnosed with angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma. Trial registration: This open randomized prospective clinical trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01664975).

8018 Background: Peripheral T-cell lymphoma(PTCL) is highly heterogeneous invasive NHL.There is no consensus standard treatment for it now. So outcomes of GDPT versus CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) in treating newly diagnosed PTCL were compared. Methods: An open-label prospective clinical trial with 153 newly diagnosed PTCL patients conducted between January 2010 and December 2018 was designed. Patients were randomly assigned to the GDPT group (77 cases) and CHOP group (76 cases). Patients in each group were further divided into four subgroups: PTCL-NOS, ALCL, AITL, and an other types, in accordance with pathological patterns. Based on expression of RRM1, TOP2A, TUBB3 and ERCC1, patients were divided into groups with high and low gene expression levels. Clinical characteristics, side effects, efficacy, PFS and OS were compared. Results: There were no significant differences in the basic clinical features or side effects between the GDPT and CHOP groups. The ORR of the GDPT group was better than that of the CHOP group (66.3%vs. 50.0%, P= 0.042), as was the CR rate (42.9% vs. 27.6%, P= 0.049). Patients in the GDPT group had a longer PFS and OS than the CHOP group. The 4-year PFS and OS rates in the GDPT group were both superior to those in the CHOP group (63.6% vs. 53.0% for PFS, P= 0.035; 66.8% vs. 53.6% for OS, P= 0.039).In the GDPT group, the difference in CR between the four subgroups was statistically significant (P = 0.046).In the CHOP group, differences in both CR and ORR among the four subgroups were statistically significant ( P= < 0.001 and P= 0.005, respectively).There were also statistically significant differences in CR between patients treated with CHOP and GDPT in the PTCL-NOS subgroup, AITL subgroup, and the other types subgroup( P= 0.015; P= 0.003; P= 0.005, respectively).The data also showed a significant difference in OS among the four subgroups within the GDPT group ( P= 0.001).The OS of AITL was shorter than that of the other three subgroups. Four subgroups of CHOP showed a significant difference in PFS ( P= 0.019). There was no statistical association between responses and the gene expression levels of RRM1, ERCC1, TUBB3 and TOP2A. Conclusions: The GDPT group had better response rates and prolonged the patients’ PFS and OS. As a promising new regimen, GDPT is expected to become the first-line therapy for PTCL. New agents should be applied to patients who do not achieve good responses with previous treatment, such as those diagnosed with angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma.
