Abstract
Progression or relapse in the central nervous system (CNS) remains a rare but mostly fatal event for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In a retrospective analysis of 5189 patients treated within 19 prospective German and French phase 2/3 trials, we identified 159 patients experiencing a CNS event (relapse: 62%, progression: 38%). Intracerebral, meningeal, intraspinal, or combined involvement was reported in 44%, 31%, 3%, and 22% of patients, respectively. 62 of 155 evaluable patients (40%) showed concurrent systemic progression/ relapse. 82% of all CNS events occurred within two years after study inclusion or randomization. 87% of patients showed extranodal involvement outside the CNS. Patients generally had poor outcomes with a median overall survival (OS) of 3.4 months (95% CI 2.9–4.2) and a 2-year OS of 15% (10–22%). Outcomes did not differ depending on the site or time point of CNS events. Patients with isolated CNS events demonstrated significantly better OS (p = 0.023). Twenty-five patients were consolidated with autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation and achieved a 3-year OS of 36% (20–66%). This large study including more than 5000 DLBCL patients highlights the unmet medical need to improve the outcome of DLBCL patients suffering from CNS relapse.
