Résumé

Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBL) is a rare entity predominantly affecting adolescents and young adults. Recently, an international phase II trial in pediatric patients using dose-adjusted etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide with vincristine and prednisone plus rituximab (DA-EPOCH-R) failed to reproduce excellent survival reported in some adult studies. The optimal therapy regimen needs to be determined in this disease. The French prospective LMB2001 trial included all patients ≤18 years with mature B-cell lymphoma treated in French centers. For patients with PMLBL, treatment included four to eight courses of Lymphomes Malins B (LMB)-based chemotherapy without radiotherapy. From 2008, rituximab was added before each chemotherapy course. From 09/2001 to 03/2012, 42 patients with PMLBL were registered. The median age was 15 years (range, 8-18). Twenty-one patients were treated with chemotherapy plus rituximab. The median follow-up was 7.1 years (interquartile range, 5.8-11.1). Five-year event-free and overall survival were 88.1% (95% confidence interval (CI): 75.0-94.8) and 95.2% (95% CI: 84.0-98.7) for the whole population. The 5-year EFS was 81.0% (95% CI: 60.0-92.3) and 95.2% (95% CI: 77.3-99.2) (hazard ratio =0.24; 95% CI: 0.03- 2.2) and 5-year overall survival was 90.5% (95% CI: 71.1-97.3) and 100% for patients treated without and with rituximab, respectively. Only one of 21 patients treated with rituximab and LMB-based chemotherapy had local early treatment failure but achieved prolonged complete remission with second-line chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Intensive LMBbased chemotherapy with rituximab achieved excellent survival in children/adolescents with PMLBL. Further international prospective studies are required to confirm these results in this population.
