    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 22 Patienten wurden mit dem ABVD-Protokoll behandelt. 19 (18 × IV B, 1 × III B) sind auswertbar. Kein Patient mit eingeschränkter, aber 7 von 13 Patienten mit intakter Knochenmarksfunktion erreichten eine Vollremission. Alle vier Patienten mit therapie- und krankheitsfreiem Intervall aber nur von 3 von 13 Patienten ohne freies Intervall erreichten ebenfalls eine Vollremission. Vorbehandlung, Histologie, Dauer der Erkrankung und Lebensalter hatten keinen eindeutigen Einfluß auf die Remissionszahlen. Die Toxizität war insbesondere bei über 50-jährigen Patienten erheblich. Zwei Patienten dieser Altersgruppe brachen die Therapie wegen gastrointestinaler Nebenwirkungen ab und 2 von 8 starben an ABVD-mitverursachten Erkrankungen (1 Leukämie, 1 plötzlicher Herztod). Bei drei Patienten mit hochdosierter Mediastinalbestrahlung war eine Pneumonitis eine der wesentlichen Todesursachen. Nach unseren Ergebnissen ist ABVD ein effektives Chemotherapieprotokoll für einige Subgruppen der „MOPP-Versager“.
    Notes: Summary 22 patients were treated with ABVD, 19 (18 stage IV B 1 stage III B) could be evaluated. No patient with impaired but 7 of 13 patients with intact bone-marrow function achieved a complete remission. A complete remission was also achieved by all 4 patients with a treatment- and disease-free interval but only by 3 of 15 without a free interval. Pretreatment, histology, duration of disease, and age showed no clear prognostic significance with respect to induction of remission. Toxicity was severe especially in patients over 50 years of age. 2 patients discontinued therapy because of gastro-intestinal toxicity. 2 of 8 died of treatment-related causes (1 leukemia, 1 sudden cardiac death). In 3 patients with high-dose mediastinal irradiation a pneumonitis secondary to bleomycin contributed significantly to death. Our results suggest that ABVD is an effective salvageregimen for some subgroups of MOPP-failures.

    Notes: Summary Fifty-one consecutive patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD) have been treated with high-dose chemotherapy (HDT) and transplantation of autologous bone marrow (BM) (n=44), autologous BM plus peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) (n=2), PBSC (n=1), syngeneic (n=1), or allogeneic BM (n=3). All patients had received standard salvage chemotherapy prior to HDT and were classified as sensitive (n=33) or resistant (n=17) to this treatment; one patient was in untreated relapse prior to BMT. The preparative regimens for patients receiving autologous BM and/or PBSC consisted of cyclophosphamide, VP 16, and BCNU (CVB) (n=44) or BCNU, etoposide, ara-C, and melphalan (BEAM) (n=3). The patients receiving allogeneic transplants were treated with the CVB regimen (n=2) or busulfan (16 mg/kg body wt.) and cyclophosphamide (200 mg/kg body wt.). With a median follow-up of 12 months, overall survival for 44 patients grafted with autologous BM is 61%±9%, progression-free survival for patients with sensitive disease is 44%±11%; no patient with resistant relapse survived beyond 1 year post transplant. Two of three patients grafted with allogeneic BM still survive 15 and 24 months after BMT with Karnofsky performance scores of 70% and 100%, respectively. The main toxicity encountered with the CVB regimen was interstitial pneumonia (IP), seen in four of 15 patients (27%) receiving ≥600 mg/m2 of BCNU. Three of these patients have died. The results show that HDT followed by hematopoietic stem cell rescue may effectively salvage an important fraction of patients with relapsed HD who respond to standard chemotherapy. The same approach is largely unsuccessful in patients with proven refractoriness to standard chemotherapy. Whether HDT followed by BMT or PBSC support is superior to intensive chemotherapy without stem cell support can be answered only by a prospectively randomized trial.

    Notes: Abstract  To improve the infrastructure of hemopoietic stem-cell transplantations in our country, the German Registry for Hemopoietic Stem-Cell Transplantations (DRST) was established in 1998. The present paper summarizes the current status of the DRST and gives a survey of transplant activities in Germany in 1998 in terms of transplant units, transplant types, transplant frequencies and underlying diseases.

    Notes: Summary In a recently published review of the literature [40] we came to the conclusion that the Ann-Arbor staging classification is of limited prognostic value for chemotherapy of Hodgkin's disease (Table 2). Four risk factors accounted for impaired complete remission rates: stage IVB, lymphocyte depletion or not classifiable histologic type, previous chemotherapy, and older age. Fifty-eight evaluable patients were treated with COPP; 23 reached a complete remission (40%). Disease-free survival was 31%, overall survival 49% after five years [33]. Besides the known risk factors, impaired bone marrow function (leucocyte counts 〈4×109/1, platelet counts 〈100×109/1) at the start of therapy was associated with poor treatment results: none of six patients achieved a complete remission [41]. Eleven of 16 patients with no and 11 of 23 patients with one risk factor achieved a complete remission, as did only one patient with more than one risk factor. Survival rates after 30 months were; 87% with no, 66% with one, 36% with two, and 13% with more than two risk factors. We can conclude from our results that the prognosis of patients undergoing chemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease depends on the number of risk factors.
