METHODS: 11 cooperative groups or institutions across Europe contributed data to this study. Eligible patients (≥18 years) had histologically confirmed follicular lymphoma grade 1, 2, or 3a, diagnosed between Jan 2, 1997, and Dec 20, 2013. Histological transformation was defined as a biopsy-proven aggressive lymphoma that occurred as a first event after first-line therapy. The primary endpoints were the cumulative hazard of histological transformation and survival after transformation.
FINDINGS: Information was available for 10 001 patients with follicular lymphoma, 8116 of whom were eligible for analysis. 509 histological transformations were reported. After a median follow-up of 87 months (range 1-221; 2·5-97·5th percentile 5-160), the 10-year cumulative hazard of histological transformation was 7·7% (95% CI 6·9-8·5). The 10-year cumulative hazard of histological transformation was 5·2% (95% CI 4·5-6·2) in patients who received rituximab and 8·7% (7·2-10·6) in those who did not (hazard ratio [HR] 0·73, 95% CI 0·58-0·90; p=0·004). The 10-year cumulative hazard of histological transformation was 5·9% (95% CI 5·0-7·0) for patients who received induction rituximab only and 3·6% (95% CI 2·3-5·5) for those treated with induction and maintenance rituximab (HR 0·55, 95% CI 0·37-0·81; p=0·003). This finding was confirmed in a multivariate analysis (p=0·016). 287 deaths were recorded in 509 patients with histological transformation, resulting in a 10-year survival after transformation of 32% (95% CI 26-38). Survival after transformation did not differ between patients not exposed to rituximab and those who received rituximab in induction only (HR 0·94, 95% CI 0·69-1·28; p=0·70), and those who received rituximab in induction and maintenance (0·96, 0·58-1·61; p=0·88).
INTERPRETATION: The risk of histological transformation as a first event can be significantly reduced by the use of rituximab. These findings support the need to inform patients using rituximab nowadays that the risk of transformation is lower than it was before the introduction of rituxumab.
