Maeda et al. 2017 (West-JHOG PTCL0707) 2007-09 to 2011-10 Phase 2 ORR: 78% (95% CI 62-89)

Note: the authors state that they followed the Wilson et al. 2002 protocol, but there are some differences, in particular 1) it isn't clear whether prednisone is given once or twice per day; and 2) dose adjustments below level 1 are different based on age.

Chemotherapy

Glucocorticoid therapy

Supportive therapy

21-day cycle for 6 to 8 cycles

Dose and schedule modifications

  • Start cycle 1 as described above.
  • Obtain CBCs twice per week for nadir measurements.
  • If nadir ANC greater than 500/μL, increase etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
  • If nadir ANC less than 500/μL on 1 or 2 measurements, use same doses as last cycle.
  • If nadir ANC less than 500/μL on at least 3 measurements, decrease etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
  • And/or if nadir platelet count less than 25 x 109/L on at least 1 measurement, decrease etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
  • Younger than 70 years old: Dose adjustments below the cycle 1 starting dose only apply to cyclophosphamide. That is, the lowest etoposide and doxorubicin would be dosed is at the original cycle 1 dose.
  • Patients 70 and older: Dose adjustments below the cycle 1 starting dose apply to all drugs
  • (Presumed, based on Wilson et al. 2002): Can start new cycle every 21 days if ANC greater than 1000/μL and platelets greater than 100 x 109/L. If counts are below those levels, check daily CBC and continue growth factor support until counts are adequate and next cycle can start.
