Survival analysis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma after chemotherapy using Fuzheng Jiedu Formula and its mechanism of action on lymphocyte subsets
To evaluate the survival of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after chemotherapy using
Fuzheng Jiedu
Formula and to explore the intrinsic correlation between the lymphocyte subset level and the survival of patients with DLBCL.
Methods
2
A total of 234 patients with DLBCL who had completed chemotherapy and achieved complete or partial response in the Department of Hematology
Longhua Hospital Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Shanghai East Hospital
Tongji University from January 1
2013
to December 31
2023
were recruited. A cohort study design was adopted
with " whether to receive continuous
Fuzheng Jiedu
Formula treatment for ≥ 6 months after chemotherapy" as the exposed factor. Patients meeting this exposed factor were divided into the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) cohort
whereas those who did not meet this exposed factor were divided into the observation cohort. The 1- and 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate
overall survival (OS) rate
and duration of response (DOR) of the two cohorts were compared. The survival curves of PFS and OS of the two cohorts were drawn
and subgroup survival ana
lysis was performed to determine factors affecting disease progression. The effect of
Fuzheng Jiedu
Formula on lymphocyte subset count level was observed.
Results
2
The study included 126 and 108 patients in the TCM and observation cohorts
respectively. Compared with the observation cohort
the 2-year PFS rate
2-year OS rate
and DOR were increased in the TCM cohort (
P
<
0.05). The PFS in the TCM cohort was higher than that in the observation cohort [
HR
=0.542
95%
CI
(0.345-0.853)
P
<
0.01
]
. The result of subgroup analysis showed that PFS in the TCM cohort was higher than that in the observation cohort in the age ≥60 years
AA stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ
CD4
+
<
lower limits of normal(LLN) subgroup(
P
<
0.05). COX regression result showed that AA stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ[
HR

95%
CI
(1.064-4.466)
P
<

]
and CD4

LLN [
HR

were independent risk factors for DLBCL progression after chemotherapy. The TCM cohort had a protective factor [
HR
=0.538
95%
CI
(0.297-0.974)
P
<
0.05
]
that could reduce the risk of disease progression by 46.2%. The result of absolute lymphocyte subset count analysis showed that in the TCM cohort
CD3
+
CD4
+
and CD19
+
levels were significantly higher 2 years after end of induction therapy(EOI) compared to at EOI (
P
<
0.05). When comparing the two cohorts
the differences in CD3
+
and CD4
+
levels widened in the TCM cohort while narrowing in the observation cohort
and these changes between the two cohorts were statistically significant (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Maintenance treatment with
Fuzheng Jiedu
Formula can improve the survival rate of p
atients with DLBCL after chemotherapy and prolong their survival time. The benefits of this treatment are apparent in the age ≥ 60 years
AA stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ
and CD4
+
<
LLN cohort.
Fuzheng Jiedu
Formula can significantly reduce the risk of disease progression in patients with DLBCL after chemotherapy and increase the immune cell level. After completing chemotherapy
the sequential maintenance treatment with
Fuzheng Jiedu
Formula can offer significant survival benefits for patients with DLBCL.
