Methods: Newly diagnosed DLBCL patients with positive p53 protein expression (immunohistochemistry staining ≥50% of cells) were enrolled at the Cancer Center, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, from April 2022 to July 2024. ZR-CHOP regimen (zanubrutinib: 160 mg, bid, D1-21; rituximab: 375 mg/m², D1; cyclophosphamide: 750 mg/m², D2; doxorubicin: 50 mg/m², D2; vincristine: 1.4 mg/m², D2; prednisone: 100 mg/d, D2-D6) was administrated every 21 days for a total 6 cycles. Efficacy was evaluated using PET-CT/enhanced CT per Lugano 2014 criteria. The primary endpoint was the complete response rate (CRR), and secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and treatment-related adverse events (AEs).
Results: A total of 16 patients were enrolled in the study until July 2024. The median age at diagnosis was 56 years (range 34-67), with 7 patients (43.7%) in Ann Arbor stage III-IV, 2 patients (12.5%) with an ECOG score ≥2, 8 patients (50.0%) with IPI score ≥2, and 5 patients (31.3%) with extranodal involvement. There were 13 cases (81.3%) of double expression of MYC and BCL2, and 15 cases (93.8%) of the non-GCB subtype. By the end of the follow-up period in July 2024, 14 patients were evaluable for efficacy, with an ORR of 100%. 12 patients (85.7%) achieved CR, and 2 patients (14.3%) achieved partial response (PR). With a median follow-up of 11.8 (0.5-20) months, the 1-year PFS and OS rates were 93.8% and 100%, respectively. In terms of safety, common grade 3-4 adverse events included anemia (4 cases), leukopenia (5 cases), neutropenia (4 cases), thrombocytopenia (1 case), and pulmonary infection (2 cases). There were no new safety signals observed.
Conclusions: The ZR-CHOP regimen is highly effective and safe for p53 over-expressed newly diagnosed DLBCL. It shows promise in improving the outcomes of p53-positive DLBCL patients.
