Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The prognostic value of interim PET interpreted according to visual criteria is a matter of debate in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Maximal standardized uptake value reduction (ΔSUVmax) may better predict outcome. To compare the prognostic value of both methods, we analysed PET done at baseline (PET0), after 2 (PET2) and 4 cycles (PET4) in 85 patients with aaIPI 2-3 factors DLBCL enrolled on a prospective multicenter trial. All images were centrally reviewed and interpreted both visually according to the International Harmonization Project (IHP) criteria, and by computing ΔSUVmax between PET0 and PET2 (ΔSUVmaxPET0-2), or PET4 (ΔSUVmaxPET0-4). Optimal cut-off to predict progression or death was 66% for ΔSUVmaxPET0-2 and 70% for ΔSUVmaxPET0-4. Outcomes did not differ significantly whether PET2 and PET4 were visually positive or negative. Inversely, ΔSUVmaxPET0-2 analysis (>66% v ≤66%) identified patients with significantly different 2-year PFS (77% v 57%; p=0.0282) and OS (93% v 60%; p<0.0001). ΔSUVmax PET0-4 analysis (>70% v ≤70%) seemed even more predictive for 2-year PFS (83 v 40%, p<0.0001) and OS (94% v 50%, p<0.0001). ΔSUVmax analysis of sequential interim PET is feasible for high risk DLBCL in a multicenter setting and better predicts outcome than visual analysis based on IHP criteria. The study was registered at http://clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00498043.
