Association of PET4 response with outcomes of BV-CHP vs CHOP in the ECHELON-2 trial in CD30+ peripheral T-cell lymphoma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT: In the phase 3 ECHELON-2 trial, brentuximab vedotin, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (BV-CHP) significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) in patients with CD30+ peripheral T-cell lymphoma, benefits that were maintained at 5 years. Interim positron emission tomography (PET) scan can be used to assess prognosis and risk-stratify patients. The prognostic value of interim PET was assessed in this post hoc exploratory analysis from ECHELON-2, evaluating interim 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET scans after cycle 4 (PET4) and end-of-treatment-based response, and correlated with PFS per investigator and OS. PET4 response was determined by Deauville score (scores of 1-3 were considered negative [PET4-negative] and 4-5 positive [PET4-positive]) by independent review. Overall, 452 patients were randomized 1:1 to the BV-CHP (n = 226) and CHOP (n = 226) arms. Of these, 32 in the BV-CHP arm and 41 in the CHOP arm were not evaluable for PET4. In both arms, PET4-negative status was associated with improved PFS (BV-CHP: HR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.19-0.66; CHOP: HR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.17-0.41) and OS (BV-CHP: HR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.18-0.78; CHOP: HR, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.14-0.41) compared with PET4-positive status. Among patients with systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma, PET4-negative patients had improved PFS (BV-CHP: HR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.14-0.60; CHOP: HR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.17-0.56) and OS (BV-CHP: HR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.16-0.94; CHOP: HR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.12-0.55) compared with PET4-positive patients. In this exploratory analysis, PET4-negative status by Deauville score was associated with improved long-term PFS and OS in both the BV-CHP and CHOP arms. This trial was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as #NCT01777152.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
