Objective: The efficacy of pirarubicin (THP)-COP was previously compared with cyclophophamide + doxorubicin + vincristine + prednisolone (CHOP) in elderly patients with lymphoma. The subset analysis showed that T-cell lymphoma had a significantly better response with THP-COP, whereas no such difference was observed in B-cell lymphoma. The aim of this study is to confirm the efficacy of THP-COP in the treatment of T-cell lymphoma. Methods: We underwent a multicenter phase II study of THP-COP as a first-line treatment for T-cell lymphoma. The overall response rate, survival period, and toxicity were analyzed. Results: Fifty-three patients were enrolled in this study. Seventeen patients had peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), including nine of PTCL not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) and eight of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). Thirty-six patients had adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), including 20 of acute type and 16 of lymphoma type. A treatment response was obtained in 35 (66%) patients, including 17 (32%) complete responses. Median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) times were 14.3 months and 5.2 months, respectively. Patients with ATLL showed a tendency to obtain low response rate (61% vs. 77%, P = 0.27) and had a significantly inferior OS (13.3 vs. 28.6 months, P = 0.04) and PFS (4.6 vs. 8.1 months, P = 0.01) in comparison with PTCL. Grade 3 to 4 neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia occurred in 72%, 34%, and 58% of the patients, respectively. Febrile neutropenia was observed in 51% and grade 3 non-hematological toxicities in 2-9% of the patients. Conclusion: The efficacy of THP-COP is equivalent to that of CHOP for the first-line therapy in T-cell lymphoma.
