Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a rare and heterogenous group of hematological malignancies involving T or NK cells. PTCLs are generally associated with an aggressive course and poor prognosis. Pralatrexate (PDX) is the first FDA-approved agent for the treatment of refractory/recurrent PTCL. It has single-agent activity against PTCLs; however, oral mucositis represents dose-limiting toxicity in clinical practice. We report on the case of a patient administered with modified THP-COP therapy (pirarubicin [tetrahydropyranyl adriamycin], cyclophosphamide, and prednisone), who had bone or bone marrow as the primary lesion, which was treated successfully with PDX for an extended period of 1 year, with prophylactic use of leucovorin for oral mucositis. The maintenance dose of PDX was 30 mg/m(2) IV, over 3 consecutive weeks dosing with a 1-week rest period due to bone marrow suppression. The patient also received leucovorin 5 mg PO 3 times daily from days 2 to 6 after each PDX administration. Disease activity was well controlled, stable, and no oral mucositis was observed over the course of treatment. (C) 2019 The Author(s) Published by S. Karger AG, Basel
