(Purpose) under bar: To determine, in a randomized clinical trial, whether high-dose therapy (HDT) followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation is more effective than standard treatment with regard to progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with relapsed follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; and to assess the additional value of B-cell purging of the stem-cell graft with regards to PFS and OS.(Patients and Methods) under bar: patients received three cycles of chemotherapy. Responding patients with limited bone marrow infiltration were eligible for random assignment to three further cycles of chemotherapy (C), unpurged HDT (U), or purged HDT (13).(Results) under bar: Between August 1993 and April 1997, 140 patients were registered from 36 centers internationally, and 99 were randomly assigned. Reasons for not randomizing included patient refusal, early progression, or death on induction therapy. With a 69-month median follow-up, the log-rank P value for PFS and OS were .0037 and .079, respectively. For PFS, the hazard ratios (95% Cls) for U versus C, P versus C, and P versus U were 0.33 (0.16 to 0.70), 0.38 (0.19 to 0.79), and 1.02 (0.51 to 2.05), respectively. The hazard ratio (95% CId) for C versus U + P was 0.30 (0.15 to 0.61). Hazard ratios (95% CIs) for OS were 0.43 (0.18 to 1.06), 0.43 (0.18 to 1.02), and 0.72 (0.32 to 1.63). For C versus U + P, the hazard ratio (95% CI) was 0.40 (0.18 to 0.89). Kaplan-Meier estimates (95% CIs) of 2-year PFS for C, U, and P were 26% (8% to 44%), 58% (37% to 79%), and 55% (34% to 75%), respectively. OS at 4 years for C, U, and P are 46% (25% to 67%), 71% (52% to 91%), and 77% (605% to 95%) respectively.(Conclusion) under bar: HDT significantly improves PFS and CIS. There is no clear evidence of benefit through purging. (C) 2003 by American Society of Clinical Oncology.
