Topics to be discussed
• Modern results of HL therapy
• Is there still room for the debate ABVD x BEACOPP?
• Is it time to incorporate BV in first line therapy?
• What to do without bleomycin?
• NLPHL – ABVD x R-CHOP?

BEACOPP x ABVD
BEACOPP is superior in PFS in HL
BEACOPP is superior in FFP in HL

BEACOPP x ABVD: FFSP and OS
ABVD x BEACOPP: Toxicity
ABVD x BEACOPP: My POV
• ABVD x 6 – Highly effective, acceptable toxicity
– 30-35% patients fail*, app. 50% are cured with HD+ ASCT
– Undertreatment of 1/3 patients
• BEACOPPesc x 6 – Cures more patients in first line
– OS benefit in 5% (NNT ~ 20)
– More acute and late toxicity
– Overtreatment of 2/3 of patients
• PET-adapted therapies + New Drugs: – Is it worth increasing chemo intensity?
• Is it feasible in Brazil?– Bleomycin and Procarbazine availability
– G-CSF support/Outpatient support
– Are we experienced with BEACOPP?

Is it time to incorporate BV?
• BV-AVD is not for everyone!
– High risk: Stage IV and
>1 EN sites
– G-CSF Prophylaxis
– Toxicity
– Not-cost effective
• Unfortunately, Bleo Shortage is “forcing” BV-AVD in a lot of patients
Huntington SF, ASCO 2018
What to do without Bleomycin?
Bleomycin Shortage: What thedata tells us?
• Favorable ES HL(GHSG HD13)– FFTF: 89,2% AVD x 92,3% ABVD– PFS: 89,6% AVD x 92,9% ABVD– OS: 97,6% AVD x 96,2% ABVD
• Unfavorable ES HL– No published data I am aware of
on Bleo Omission– Waiting for results of BREACH
• EA: – Omission of bleomycin if PET2neg– BV in high risk patients
cHL: How I treat my patients in 2019?
• Early Stage Favourable– 2x ABVD + 20Gy (GHSG HD10)– 2x AVD + 30 Gy (GHSG HD13)
• Early Stage Unfavourable– 4x ABVD + 30Gy– 2x ABVD + 2x AVD + 30Gy– 4x BV-AVD + 30 Gy
• Advanved Stage: – 6x ABVD
• Bleo Omission if PET2neg• No GCSF Support
– I consider BV-AVD in High Risk Patients (Stage IV or >1 EN sites)
– As per now, I am not escalating therapy based in PET2+ results (42% PFS in ECHELON-1, 64% PFS in SWOG S016, 58-72% in GATLA, 70% PFS in HD0801, 63% GITIL)
NLPHL
Important Features
• Very few patients with B Symptoms
• Low mediastinal involvement (7%)
• Higher risk of transformation for T-cell/Histiocyte DLBCL with abdominal involvement:– Transformation risk: 7, 15 e 31% in 10, 15 e
20y
Advanced Stage NLPHL
• MD Anderson: R-CHOP x Others
Therapy of NLPHL
Conclusions
• ABVD remains standard first line therapy for cHL– PET-2 Neg: Continue with AVD– PET-2 Pos: No SOC. eBEACOPP an option
• BV-AVD marginally superior to ABVD regardingmPFS: – Consider in Stage IV and EN sites>1– Higher toxicity/GCS-F Needed– Not cost effective
• A(B)VD should be the backbone for studyincorporating new agents
