The safety and efficacy of reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) followed by allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) for relapsed lymphomas remains unresolved. We conducted a prospective, multicentered, phase II trial. A total of 170 relapsed/ refractory lymphomas received a RIC regimen followed by SCT from sibling donors. The primary study end point was non-relapse mortality (NRM). Histologies were non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) (indolent (LG-NHL), n = 63; aggressive (HG-NHL), n = 61; mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), n = 14) and Hodgkin's disease (HD, n = 32). Median follow-up was 33 months (range, 12-82). The results show that frequencies were as follows: cumulative NRM at 3 years, 14%; acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) 35 and 52%, respectively; 3-year overall survival (OS), 69% for LG-NHL, 69% for HG-NHL, 45% for MCL and 32% for HD (P = 0.058); and 3-year relapse incidence, 29, 31, 35 and 81%, respectively (P < 0.001). Relapse risk differed significantly at 3 years between follicular lymphoma (FL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (14 versus 46%, P = 0.04). Molecular remission occurred in 94 and 40% (P = 0.002) of patients with FL and CLL, respectively. On multivariate analysis, OS was influenced by chemorefractory disease (hazard ratio (HR) = 3.6), diagnosis of HD (HR = 3.5), and acute GVHD (HR = 5.9). RIC allogeneic SCT is a feasible and effective salvage strategy in both indolent and aggressive NHL.
