Mantle cell International Prognostic Index (MIPI) GLSG 1996 CHOP, MCP GLSG CHOP  +  R, Ifn Vs ASCT 438 patients CHOP  – 56% R-CHOP – 31% MCP  -  11% Other   -  2% ASCT – 80 pts IFN maintenance – 199 pts No therapy in remission – 72 pts Hoster et al. Blood Jan 2008
Simplified MIPI prognostic index   For each prognostic factor, 0 to 3 points were given to each patient and points were summed up to a maximum of 11. Patients with 0 to 3 points in summary were classified as low risk, patients with 4 to 5 points as intermediate risk, and patients with 6 to 11 points as high risk. ECOG performance status was weighted with 2 points if patients were unable to work or bedridden (ECOG 2-4). LDH was weighted according to the ratio to the ULN. Thus, for an ULN of 240 U/L, the cutpoints were 180 U/L, 240 U/L, and 360 U/L, for example.   Points     Age, y     ECOG     LDHULN     WBC, 10 9 /L     0     <50     0-1     <0.67     < 6.700     1     50-59     —     0.67-0.99     6.700-9.999     2     60-69     2-4     1.000 -1.49     1.000-14.999     3           70     —           1.5000           15000

Improvement in survival is also a measure of the  effectiveness of salvage therapy,   and over the last few years there has been marked improvement in options available.

    Improvement in survivalis also a measure of the effectiveness of salvage therapy, and over the last few years there has been marked improvement in options available.

Editor's Notes

  • #35 tabelle 1
  • #49 2 2 We kno from basic studies in the early 80´s, that 2-CdA is inducing apoptosos in dividing but also in resting cells independent from cell cycle. This observation lead to the idea, that this could be an advantage in the therapy of indolent lymphomas. It is well known that 2-CdA is very effective in the treatment of HCL, inducing very long lasting complete remissions. But 2-Cda has also been demonstrated to be effective in other indolent lymphoproliferative disorders like low-grade NHL, CLL and cutaneous lymphomas and also in relapsed ALL. It was in 1992, that the Group from the Scripps-Clinic in San Diego, and in 1995 also Liliemark and Juliusson demonstrated the efficacy of cladribine in pretreated patients with NHL. However, in these heavily pretreated patients a high rate of severe infectious problems was reported in the range of about 20-40%, probably due to the extensive pretreatment. In 1995, again Saven and Piro from the Scripps Clinic, demonstrated the activity of Cladribine for the first time in untreated indolent NHL. They used the 7-day continous infusion regimen with 0,1 mg/kg/d, which is the approved schedule in the USA using 2-CdA.
