The clinical course of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is usually aggressive and the prognosis unfavorable. Therefore, there is a need for improvement of treatment options. Patients with newly diagnosed (n = 27) or refractory/relapsed (n = 11) PTCL received a combination of alemtuzumab, fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin. The overall response rate (ORR) was 61%, with a complete response rate of 39%. In newly diagnosed patients the ORR was 63%, the median overall survival 25.9 months, and progression-free survival 11.8 months. In relapsed/refractory patients the median OS was 6.1 months. The most frequent grade 3/4 toxicities were leukopenia (95% of patients) and thrombocytopenia (58%). Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation occurred in 12 patients, but only two had CMV disease. Treatment-related deaths occurred in six newly diagnosed patients and one with relapsed/refractory disease. In conclusion, Campath-FCD is active in PTCL but is associated with significant toxicity and is, therefore, not recommended for use or further study. Further studies are warranted to investigate other approaches to combining alemtuzumab with chemotherapy for the treatment of PTCL.
