Final Results of a Prospective Evaluation of the Predictive Value of Interim Positron Emission Tomography in Patients With Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Treated With R-CHOP-14 (SAKK 38/07)

Abstract: Our results confirmed that an interim PET/CT scan has limited prognostic value in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma homogeneously treated with six cycles of R-CHOP-14 in a large prospective trial. At this point, interim PET/CT scanning is not ready for clinical use to guide treatment decisions in individual patients.

“…In DLBCL, PET performed at the end of treatment has shown a high predictive value for PFS and OS. [28] Post-treatment persistent 18FDG uptake was found in 32% of evaluable patients, which was higher than expected compared to up to 20% of PET positivity in most DLBCL studies. [28] We did not detect a prognostic impact of post-treatment PET positivity in our current study.…”

“…21,32 Secondly, some recent studies have shown end-of-treatment PET to carry the highest PPV compared to iPET. 16,41,42 Consequently, early biopsy of FDG-avid sites has been recommended, since, in one large prospective study, iPET-positive patients who were biopsy-negative displayed outcomes equivalent to those for iPET-negative patients, with the caveat that both patient groups were switched to R-ICE treatment intensification. 43 As in the vast majority of studies, however, we did not assess biopsies taken from iPETpositive residual masses.…”

“…Although risk-adaptive strategies based on interim PET scans can identify patients with DLBCL at risk for treatment failure, 2 recent prospective studies failed to show clinical benefit from switching therapy, indicating the need for more sensitive and specific selection methods. [40][41][42] Interim ctDNA monitoring has potential advantages over PET scans as a result of high tumor specificity, quantitative analysis, and temporal kinetics. Indeed, quantitative response kinetics may improve on response-adapted strategies in lymphomas.…”
