Abstrakt: | Purpose: The role of consolidative radiation therapy (RT) in patients with advanced Hodgkin lymphoma with initial bulk is unclear. GITIL/FIL HD0607 and FIL HD0801, 2 randomized controlled trials with similar design and methodologies, did not identify a benefit to consolidative RT after a metabolic complete response to 6 cycles of doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine. However, their limited sample sizes reduced statistical power to detect a small but clinically meaningful benefit to RT. Methods and Materials: In a secondary analysis of these 2 phase 3 trials, reconstructed patient data were used to compare outcomes for early and complete responders randomized to no RT or RT to the site(s) of initial bulk. Estimates of progression-free survival (PFS) in the intent-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses were generated using the combined data and compared between groups using the log-rank test. Results: A total of 412 patients were included in the ITT analysis, and 373 patients were included in the PP analysis. Median age was 30 to 32 years, 42% of patients were stage IIB, and 73% of bulky sites were located in the mediastinum. For the no RT versus RT groups, 5-year ITT PFS estimates were 90.1% versus 90.1%, respectively ( P = .81). Five-year PP PFS rates were 90.9% versus 92.9%, respectively ( P = .31). There was no observed difference between no RT and RT groups in subgroups according to size of bulky disease: 5 to 7 cm ( P = .78), 7 to 10 cm ( P = .25), and >10 cm ( P = .69). Conclusions: In this combined analysis of 2 randomized phase 3 clinical trials, consolidative RT to initial sites of bulky nodal involvement was not associated with a PFS benefit in patients with advanced Hodgkin lymphoma in metabolic complete response after 2 and 6 cycles of doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine.
