A new possible conditionning regimen before Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for refractory high-grade lymphoma Z-BeEAM (Ibritumomab tiuxetan, Bendamustine, Etoposide, Cytarabine, Melphalan) TARDY M., GASTAUD L., OJEDA-URIBE M., BOSCAGLI A., CARUSO S., SKAF R., GUTNECHT J., THYSS A., PEYRADE F.
Indications of Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT) Relapsing follicular lymphoma Relapsing diffuse large B cell lymphoma Mantle cell lymphoma => High Dose chemotherapy followed by ASCT BEAM is most commonly used regimen before ASCT : Carmustine (300 mg/m² at day 1) Etoposide (200 mg/m² every 12H for 4 days) Cytarabine (200 mg/m² every 12H for 4 days) Melphalan (140 mg/m² at day 5) For chemosensitive lymphoma Mills W. et al., BEAM chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation for patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, JCO, 1995; 13:588-595
Replacement of carmustine BeEAM regimen : Bendamustine (180 mg/m² at day 1) Etoposide (200 mg/m² every 12H for 4 days) Cytarabine (200 mg/m² every 12H for 4 days) Melphalan (140 mg/m² at day 5) => Safe and effective Visani G. et al., Bendamustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan, and autologous stem cell rescue produce a 72% 3-year PFS in resistant lymphoma, Blood, 2014;124:3029-3031

Non hematologic toxicities Renal toxicity 0 Tardy et al., Z-BeEAM before ASCT is safe and efficient for refractory large B cell lymphoma, Experimental Hematology and Oncology, 2015:4-18.
Efficiency After a median follow-up time of 5 months (1st March 2015) => All patients alive, in complete response (clinical, biologic and radiologic on PET-CT) and with a good hematologic recovery After a median follow up of 20,6 months (1st June 2016) => 1 lost to follow up => 5 alive : 3 complete response 2 patients relapsed after a median PFS of 16 months Tardy et al., Z-BeEAM before ASCT is safe and efficient for refractory large B cell lymphoma, Experimental Hematology and Oncology, 2015:4-18.
Conclusion ‟ Phase I” study to evaluate Z-BeEAM as a conditionning regimen before ASCT NO unexpected toxicities NO increase in the risk of Grade III/IV mucositis NO long term toxicities Efficient
Z-BeEAM is safe and effective before ASCT
