Initial therapy

Cyclophosphamide monotherapy

Regimen

Study Evidence
Bareau et al. 2010 Retrospective

These are retrospective series, of which Bareau et al. 2010 is representative. The most common dose reported is 100 mg PO once per day; some authors mentions co-administration of steroids but details are not supplied.

Immunosuppressive therapy

Lamy et al. 2011 recommends that patients who are responding are continued on treatment for 6 to 12 months; patients who do not respond within 4 months of therapy are discontinued

Methotrexate & Prednisone

Regimen

Study Evidence
Loughran et al. 2014 (ECOG E5998) Phase 2

Immunosuppressive therapy

  • Methotrexate (MTX) 10 mg/m2/day PO in divided doses once per day on days 1, 8, 15, 22
    • Details not described in ECOG E5998; Lamy et al. 2011 divides the 10 mg/m2 methotrexate dose into 5 mg/m2 in the morning and 5 mg/m2 in the evening
  • Prednisone (Sterapred) 1 mg/kg PO once per day for 30 days, then tapered off over 24 days (details not described)

28-day cycles

Subsequent treatment

  • Patients with PR: continue up to one year
  • Patients with CR: continue for one month past documented CR
  • Non-responders were transitioned to cyclophosphamide & prednisone
