6. P-6 Overview of NHL  NHLs broadly classified as aggressive vs. indolent  Aggressive NHL –35-40% of NHL –Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma  DLBCL frequently presents with divergent histologies –Treatment is driven by the most aggressive histology –Response is measured the same way –At relapse, life expectancy measured in months  Indolent NHL –At relapse, life expectancy measured in years  No new agents approved for aggressive NHL in last 17 years

7. P-7 Overview of Aggressive NHL  First-line therapy –R-CHOP therapy cures  50% of aggressive B-cell NHL  Second-line therapy –If <65 years, 20% cured with high dose chemo and ASCT (only if response to salvage therapy) –If  65 years or if ASCT not feasible,  10% curable  Median survival 6 months  Response rates and duration drop with each relapse

8. P-8 Overview of Aggressive NHL (Continued)  Third-line or later therapy (indicated population) –10,000 – 15,000 patient prevalence in 2001 –No standard therapy –Bone marrow frequently compromised, thus fewer options –Reduction in tumor burden associated with symptom improvement –Results are dismal, complete responses are rarely achieved and survival is short
