Use of gemcitabine, oxaliplatin, and anti‐CD20 therapy in children and adolescents with non‐Hodgkin lymphoma unfit for intensive therapy

Abstract

Multiagent immunochemotherapy affords excellent outcomes in pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL); however, scarce data exist for patients unfit for intensive treatment. Rituximab, gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin (R-GemOx) is well tolerated and efficacious in elderly adults with NHL; however, its use has not been described in pediatrics. In this retrospective, single-center study, six children with mature B-cell NHL and significant comorbidities received anti-CD20 therapy with GemOx (rituximab or obinutuzumab or ofatumumab with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin [R/O-GemOx]). R/O-GemOx was well tolerated and resulted in complete response in two of three patients with newly diagnosed NHL and one of three patients with primary refractory NHL. R/O-GemOx is a viable treatment option for children with NHL who cannot tolerate intensive therapy.
