BEAM or BuCyE high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients: a single center comparative analysis of efficacy and toxicity.
Leukemia Research 2011 Februrary
We compared the efficacy and toxicity of BEAM (BCNU, etoposide, cytarabine and melphalan) and BuCyE (busulfan, cyclophosphamide and etoposide), given prior to autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), in 65 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Of these 65 patients, 43 received BEAM and 22 received BuCyE. Their age, gender distribution, International Prognostic Index, status of disease at ASCT and median number of infused CD34(+) cells/kg were similar. Neutrophil and platelet engraftment were significantly faster in the BuCyE group. Rates of mucositis, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding and infections were similar in the two groups. Median overall survival and event-free survival did not differ significantly between the two groups. These findings indicate that BuCyE is an effective conditioning regimen, showing similar survival outcomes and toxicity profiles as BEAM. Furthermore, hematologic recovery is significantly faster in patients given the BuCyE conditioning regimen.
