Abstract

Vinblastine is the standard treatment for children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). Whether this treatment could be extended to adults with LCH is questionable. This retrospective multicenter study included 35 adult patients (median age 33 years; 23 men; 80% with multisystem LCH) who were treated with vinblastine + steroids as a first-line chemotherapy and followed for a median time of 83 months. The objectives were to determine the overall response rate (based on the Histiocyte Society criteria), disease reactivation rate, toxicity, permanent consequences, and survival rate corresponding to this treatment. The lung involvement outcome was based on serial lung function tests. The distribution of right-censored end points was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate Cox model with time-fixed and time-varying covariates was used for the predictive analysis of reactivation in the responders. Univariate analyses of risk factors for neurotoxicity were based on nonparametric Wilcoxon rank sum tests and exact Fisher tests. The median duration of the first course of vinblastine was 7.6 months, with a median cumulative dose of 160 mg [IQR 120-212]. Seventy percent of the patients were responders at the end of this treat...Continue Reading
