Abstract

Forty-seven patients chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (n=31) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) (n=16) treated with fludarabine and fludarabine+mitoxantrone+ dexamethasone (FND) regimen between 1997-2002 in our institute were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-two patients were previously untreated (group-I) and 25 patients were previously treated and had refractory or relapsed disease (group-II). Fludarabine was administered in 16 patients (group I/II=6/10). Thirty-one patients were treated with a regimen of FND (group I/II=16/15). Treatment was repeated at 4-week intervals for maximum 6 courses. The median follow-up was 22 months (range: 5-63). The overall response rates were 72.8 % and 56% in group- I and group-II, respectively (p0.05). In patients treated with fludarabine, PFS rate was compared with FND not significant statistically (p>0.05). FND was associated with a substantially higher rate of grade II-IV neutropenia than fludarabine. Although both regimens were associated with high response rates in patients with previously untreated, FND was highly effective in patients with refractory or relapsed disease but it was more toxic than fludarabine.

Özet

Kliniğimizde 1997-2002 yılları arasında fludarabin veya fludarabin + mitoksantron + deksametazon (FND) rejimi ile tedavi edilen 47 kronik lenfositik lösemi (KLL) (n=31) ve küçük lenfositik lenfoma (SLL) (n=16) olgularını retrospektif olarak inceledik. Yirmi iki hasta daha önce herhangi bir tedavi almamış hastalardan (grup-I) ve 25 hasta ise daha önce tedavi almış ve refrakter veya relaps olgulardan oluşmaktaydı (grup-II). Fludarabin tek başına 16 hastaya verildi (grup-I/II: 6/10). Otuz bir hasta FND rejimi ile tedavi edildi (grup I/II: 16/15). Tedavi her 4 haftada bir tekrarlandı ve maksimum 6 kür verildi (3-6). Ortanca takip süresi 22 ay (5-63 ay) idi. Toplam yanıt oranları grup-I ve II'de sırasıyla %72.8 ve %56 idi (p0.05). Fludarabin alan grupta FND kombinasyon tedavisi alan hastalar ile karşılaştırıldığında PFS oranları bakımından istatiksel anlamlılık tespit edilmemiştir (p>0.05). Grade II-IV nötropeni FND kombine tedavisi alan grupta daha daha yüksek oranda tespit edildi. Daha önce tedavi almamış hastalarda her iki rejim de yüksek yanıt oranları ile ilişkili olmasına rağmen FND kombinasyon tedavisi fludarabin tedavisine göre nüks veya refrakter hastalıkta daha etkili ancak daha toksik idi.
