Purpose
Provide guidelines for practice
Provide a scientific reference advice for off-label prescription in Belgium
Publish guidelines on BHS website and on paper for Belgian audience (Acta Clinica, BJ Hematol, BJ Oncol, …)

BHS GUIDELINES FOR FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMA AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS.
Debussche S, A Van Hoof , A Sonnet, C Bonnet, , A Janssens, G Verhoef, D Dierickx, V De Wilde, D Bron, W Schroyens, E Van Den Neste, Offner F On behalf of the BHS Lymphoproliferative Working Party
Questions to adress for BHS guidelines 1. Diagnostic and followup position of PET-CT
2. Which criteria define need for treatment ?
3. Choice between CVP or CHOP ?
4. Position of Bendamustine 1st line ?
5. Maintenance pro/con ?
6. RIT ?
7. Position of transplant ?
BHS guidelines 1st line
1. Diagnostic and followup position of PET-CT There is no consensus; level 3 evidence for use in
postRx prediction
2. Which criteria define need for treatment ? Either GELF or GLSG since they have been at basis of
large randomized trials
3. Choice between CVP or CHOP ? R-CHOP is to be preferred if cardiac status allows it, but this is under challenge of bendamustine
4. Position of Bendamustine 1st line ? Not final at time of publication 2012, meanwhile accepted but not yet published
Criteria for initiating therapy
GELF GSGLGNHL
N° nodal sites >3 each 3 cm Stage III-IV
Bulky disease > 7 cm 7.5 mediastinum 5 elsewhere
Symptoms B or compressive B
Hb Not included >10 g/dl
ANC <1000/µl <1500/µl
Platelets <100000/µl <100000/µl
Leukemic cells > 5000/µl Not included
Disease progression Steady progression Rapid progression
BHS guidelines 1st line
5. Maintenance pro/con ? There is level 1 evidence in PFS but not for OS in favor of rituximab maintenance following R-CHOP, R-CVP or R-FCM. In case of infectious complications, Ig levels should be monitored and eventually substituted.
6. RIT ? The use of radio-immunotherapy in consolidation in first line has not been compared to maintenance anti-CD20 and data do not yet support superiority. This strategy is off label and not reimbursed in Belgium.
7. Position of transplant ? Autologous stem cell transplantation in first remission is not recommended outside of clinical trials.
BHS guidelines relapse
1. Diagnostic and followup position of PET-CT
Unknown, guidance for rebiopsy in case of suspected transformation
2. Which criteria define need for retreatment ?
Very unclear
BHS guidelines relapse
3. Choice of chemotherapy ? The BHS recommends R-chemo followed by maintenance for relapse FL. (superior for PFS, OS when including patients not previously treated with rituximab).
There is no superiority for any given chemotherapy regimen and rituximab monotherapy can be proposed in unfit patients or patients with a low tumor burden at relapse.
Autologous transplantation is an appropriate consolidation in the fit patient in 2nd or further remission
BHS guidelines relapse
4. RIT ? Radioimmunotherapy is useful in second or third relapse in patients who are not transplant candidates
5. Position of transplant ? Autologous stem cell transplantation in 2nd remission is recommended in the fit patient in early relapse outside of clinical trials.

Selective signal transduction inhibitors Tumor cells rarely depend on one signal transduction pathway Tumoristatic and not tumoricidal Expect short PFS : giant problem for approval

Chemotherapy will likely disappear
Target approach ?
Signature apporach ?
Immune control strategies will improve : Vaccines
CART
Maybe GVH will be dissociated from GVL in alloTx
Lymphoma 10 years from now ? The target approach
Chemotherapy will be replaced :
Chemo-immunotherapy by Ab-Imid followed or preceded by Ab-ADC
Steroids may be replaced by more selective signal transduction inhibitors
Imids may enhance immune control strategies :
Vaccines CD40 conjugates
CART CD19
Lymphoma 10 years from now The signature approach ?
High throughput screens will show pathway activation signature
Combination therapy of signal transduction inhibitors will be given
Chemo-immunotherapy by Ab-Imid followed or preceded by Ab-ADC may serve for debulking or consolidation
