Wilson1 1Lymphoid Malignancy Branch, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD Over the past 30 years, many treatment platforms have been developed for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, but none proved better than CHOP (cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, vincristine, prednisone/prednisolone). In the immuno- chemotherapy era, however, there is convincing evidence for superior chemotherapy platforms. A randomized study from the Groupe d’Etude des Lymphomes de l’Adulte showed that R-ACVBP (rituximab plus doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vindesine, bleomycin, prednisone) was superior to rituximab plus CHOP (R-CHOP) in patients under 60 years of age, but toxicity limits its use to younger patients. Studies also suggest that DA-EPOCH-R (dose-adjusted etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, rituximab) is more effective in some subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and a randomized comparison with R-CHOP is now nearing completion. The simplicity and safety of R-CHOP and the long history of failed contenders, however, has set a high bar for new approaches. Although still retaining the histological We are now in the era of targeted therapy for diffuse large B-cell description of a neoplasm of large B-lymphoid cells with a diffuse lymphoma (DLBCL) that is moved forward by a rapidly increasing growth pattern, these subtypes derive from B cells at different knowledge of tumor biology, driver pathways, and clinical suc- stages of differentiation with distinctive molecular and clinical cesses.

The division of DLBCL into at least 3 distinct clinical grounds. Of these divisions, the most common group is molecular diseases, germinal center B-cell (GBC), activated B-cell DLBCL not otherwise specified (NOS), which can be further (ABC), and primary mediastinal B-cell (PMBL) DLBCL, is essen- subdivided into the GCB and ABC molecular subgroups by GEP tial for advancing treatment. In translational end points, and the entrenchment of R-CHOP (ritux- contrast, most genes that define ABC DLBCL are not expressed by imab plus cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, vincristine, normal GCB cells, but instead are induced during in vitro activation prednisone/prednisolone) have hampered the development and of peripheral B cells. The ABC DLBCL signature also includes the acceptance of new standards for DLBCL. Fortunately, insights into IRF4 (MUM1) gene that is transiently induced during normal the molecular taxonomy of DLBCL has led to the identification of lymphocyte activation and is necessary for antigen receptor–driven “driver” pathways, druggable targets, and more effective immuno- B-cell proliferation. A noteworthy feature of ABC DLBCL is the chemotherapy regimens, which highlights the importance of conduct- expression of bcl-2 that is induced 30-fold during peripheral ing studies within the molecular DLBCL subtypes. GCB DLBCL appears to arise from GCB cells, Conceptual therapeutic advances usually emerge from biological whereas ABC DLBCL likely arises from post-GCB cells that foundations.

Patients with pain not controlled by opioids and NSAIDs were randomized to low-dose gabapentin (400 or 800 mg) cheap 75 mg doxepin with mastercard, low-dose imipramine (10 mg) buy generic doxepin 10 mg line, or a combination of the 2. Gabapentin-imipramine combination treatment significantly reduced total pain score, daily paroxysmal pain episodes, and opioid rescue dose. Monotherapy with low-dose gabapentin or low-dose imipramine did not control pain sufficiently. Indirect evidence Eight fair-quality randomized controlled trials compared a drug for neuropathic pain to placebo 117-124 for prevention or treatment of chemotherapy-induced or cancer-related neuropathic pain. Three trials, 1 each of amitriptyline, carbamazepine, and oxcarbazepine, were designed to assess 117, the effectiveness of treatment to prevent pain in patients undergoing chemotherapy (Table 8). Two trials found no difference in the development of neuropathic pain with either amitriptyline or carbamazepine. An open-label trial of oxcarbazepine compared with usual care in patients with advanced colorectal cancer found a reduction in the development of neuropathic pain in 117 patients given oxcarbazepine (31. These percentages are for patients who completed treatment (32 of 40, 80%); intent-to-treat results also showed efficacy of oxcarbazepine (P=0. Severity of pain was also reduced in the oxcarbazepine group (per-protocol results). Neuropathic pain 30 of 92 Final Update 1 Report Drug Effectiveness Review Project Table 8.

They included 1 trial each of gabapentin, lamotrigine, amitriptyline, and nortriptyline. None of these found a difference between treatment and placebo in mean pain score, response, or quality-of-life measures. A fifth trial found gabapentin plus an opioid reduced burning or shooting pain more than 121 an opioid alone. The results of this trial may not be valid, however. It was rated poor quality due to lack of blinding of outcome assessment, baseline differences between groups, and no intent-to-treat analysis combined with a 16% withdrawal rate (Table 9).

Two trials included amitriptyline, 2 included lamotrigine, 1 included gabapentin, and 1 included pregabalin. In both amitriptyline trials, there was no difference between treatment and placebo in 126, 127 pain score or response. In the 2 lamotrigine trials, treatment was more effective than 128, 129 placebo only in the subgroup of patients who were on neurotoxic antiretroviral treatment. No other trials reported data by exposure to neurotoxic antiretrovirals.

Diphenhydramine (maximum dose 75 mg) was also included as an active placebo so that subjects would think they were getting gabapentin or amitriptyline due to the side effects of diphenhydramine. Twenty-two patients (58%) completed all 3 phases of the trial. Analysis of the 22 completers found average visual analogue scale pain intensity score at week 8 was significantly lower with amitriptyline than with gabapentin (P=0. There was no significant difference between gabapentin and diphenhydramine. An analysis by patients’ level of depression found that among those with the lowest levels of depression, there was no difference in pain scores between the 3 groups, however.
