Why the study?

Mantle cell lymphoma is currently considered incurable, and while some patients achieve prolonged remission after first-line chemoimmunotherapy, many require multiple treatment lines.

What are the real-world treatment trajectories, progression-free survival, and overall survival outcomes across multiple lines of therapy in patients with mantle cell lymphoma?

Population

1367 patients diagnosed with MCL between 2006-2018 in the Swedish Lymphoma Register

Comparison

Treatment strategies and lines of therapy across patient trajectories

Design

Nationwide population-based registry cohort study

Follow-up

Median 6.8 years

Key result

Patients with mantle cell lymphoma who experienced early progression within 24 months of first-line treatment had an inferior median overall survival of 13 months compared to 37 months for those with later relapse.

Overview

Early progression within 24 months after first-line MCL therapy identifies high-risk patients; leaves open optimal sequencing of subsequent therapies.

Population
1,367 patients diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma in Sweden between 2006 and 2018, with a median age of 71 years, were followed for a median of 6.8 years to assess treatment trajectories and survival.

Exposure
Various treatment strategies including watch-and-wait, rituximab-bendamustine (BR), and Nordic MCL2 across multiple lines of therapy

Main Result

Absolute Event Rate: 13% vs 37%

This nationwide Swedish cohort provides real-world benchmarks for progression-free survival across multiple lines of therapy in mantle cell lymphoma, demonstrating progressively shorter remissions with subsequent treatments.

Limitations

  • No central review of pathology was performed.
  • Pathology reports often lacked information on histological subtype and Ki-67 expression.
  • TP53 mutation analysis was not part of standard diagnostic work-up during the study period.
  • Ibrutinib and other BTK-inhibitors were not reimbursed in Sweden during the study period.

Cite This Study

Jerkeman et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Mantle Cell Lymphoma (n=1,367). Early progression (POD24) after first-line treatment vs. Late progression (relapse ≥24 months) was evaluated on Median overall survival (months). Patients with mantle cell lymphoma who experienced early progression within 24 months of first-line treatment had an inferior median overall survival of 13 months compared to 37 months for those with later relapse.
