Abstract
Importance: Radiation therapy to doses of 24 to 36 Gy is currently used to treat indolent B-cell lymphoma of the ocular adnexa; however, ocular adverse effects are common.
Objective: To determine if a response-adapted radiation therapy strategy will result in excellent disease outcomes while reducing orbital morbidity.
Design, setting, and participants: This single-institution, phase 2 prospective nonrandomized controlled trial of a response-adapted strategy involved 50 evaluable patients with stage I to IV indolent B-cell lymphoma of the ocular adnexa enrolled between July 2015 and January 2021. This treatment approach was also retrospectively evaluated with a separate 55-patient cohort treated between March 2013 and October 2021. All data were analyzed between November 2021 and December 2023.
Interventions: Patients were treated with ultralow-dose radiation therapy to 4 Gy in 2 fractions and assessed for response at 3-month intervals. Patients with persistent orbital lymphoma were offered an additional 20 Gy in 10 fractions to complete the response-adapted treatment.
Main outcome and measures: The primary end point was 2-year local orbital control within the irradiated field after response-adapted therapy. Secondary end points included overall survival and complete response rate.
Results: The 50 prospective patients were a median (range) of 63 (29-88) years old, and 31 (62%) were female. Among the 50 patients, 32 (64%) had mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, 12 (24%) had follicular lymphoma, and 6 (12%) had unclassifiable low-grade B-cell lymphoma. Thirty-one patients (62%) had stage I disease, and 36 (72%) were newly diagnosed. At a median follow-up of 37.4 (95% CI, 33.7-52.5) months, the 2-year local control rate was 89.4% (95% CI, 81.0%-98.7%), and the 2-year overall survival rate was 98.0% (95% CI, 94.1%-100%); 45 patients (90.0%; 95% CI, 78.2%-96.7%) experienced a complete response to response-adapted radiation, including 44 patients with a complete response to ultralow-dose radiation and 1 patient with a complete response after an additional 20 Gy. No local recurrences were observed among patients with a complete response to response-adapted therapy. No grade 3 or higher toxic effects were observed. In a planned subset analysis of 22 patients with newly diagnosed, untreated stage I mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, the 2-year local control rate was 90.7% (95% CI, 79.2%-100%), and the 2-year freedom from distant relapse rate was 95.2% (95% CI, 86.6%-100%).
Conclusion and relevance: In this nonrandomized controlled trial, response-adapted ultralow-dose therapy for indolent orbital B-cell lymphoma resulted in reduced radiation exposure, negligible toxic effects, and excellent disease outcomes.
