12 Yue 3 days, a study "The Lancet" published online, for CD30-positive outer peripheral T-cell lymphoma patients, this rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisone (A + CHP) Better than cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP).

Steven Horwitz, MD, from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and colleagues conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, active-control phase 3 study involving 452 patients from 132 locations in 17 countries. These patients CD30-positive peripheral T-cell lymphoma without prior treatment. Patients with 1:1 random allocation ratio, accepts A + CHP or of CHOP, sustained 6, or. 8 th 21 is day cycle

The researchers found that the median progression-free survival (PFS) of the A + CHP group and the CHOP group were 48.2 and 20.8 months, respectively. The incidence of side effects was similar between the two groups, including febrile neutropenia (18% and 15%, respectively) and peripheral neuropathy (52% and 55%, respectively). Fatal adverse events occurred in 3% and 4% of patients, respectively.

In the CHP to add this cetuximab can improve progression-free and overall survival without increasing toxicity, the study supports the A + CHP for many CD30 positive outer peripheral T new standard treatment for lymphoma patients.
