Abstract

Improved survival with intravenous (IV) over oral delivery of Busulfan in autologous stem cell
transplantation (ASCT) has been reported in a retrospective study for cohorts of lymphoma patients
treated with high-dose chemotherapy and conditioning regimen of busulfan, cyclophosphamide (Cy)
and etoposide (VP-16). However, the clinical advantage of pharmocokinetic-directed (PK)-based
dosing on regimen-related mortality and overall survival remains unclear. To address this issue we
performed a retrospective cohort study to compare the efficacy of PK-directed oral and IV busulfan-
based conditioning regimen in lymphoma patients undergoing ASCT from 2000-2010 at Emory
University. Sequential cohorts of patients included for analysis received oral (1.0mg/kg every 6 hours
x 16, n=77), IV16 (0.9mg/kg every 6 hours x 16, n=103), or IV4 busulfan (3.6mg/kg daily x 4, n=40)
followed by Cy (60mg/kg qd x 2), VP-16 (10 mg/kg qd x3) and infusion of previous collected
autologous stem cells. PK-directed dosing was performed to achieve a predefined target area under
the curve (AUC) range. For oral, IV16 and IV4 groups, respectively, the initial dose was 66, 63 and
255 mg, the T1/2 was 224, 190 and 188 hours, and the percentage of patients reaching the target range
was 42%, 89% and 88%, which were significantly different across groups (p<0.001). With a median
follow-up of 1761, 895 and 392 days, the 100-day mortality was 2.6%, 2.9% and 5.3% for oral, IV16,
and IV4, respectively (p=0.76). Five-year overall survival was 57.6% and 65.8%, for oral and IV
administration, respectively. In multivariable Cox regression models, age (HR=1.34, p=0.003) but
not the route of delivery had a significant effect on overall survival. Conclusions: PK-directed IV
busulfan improves the consistency of delivering a predefined target AUC over oral PK-directed
busulfan with similar early and late overall survival for lymphoma patients undergoing ASCT.
