TLS can be managed through hyperhydration, urate-lowering treatments, and a steroid prophase strategy. Aims: This study aims to explore the impact of fractionated rituximab, an anti-CD20 antibody, on the occurrence and severity of TLS during the initial cycle in patients with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). Methods: Data was retrospectively collected from 94 of 186 patients. Results: Among the 94 patients included in the analysis, the median age was 70. Histologies were diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (75%), Burkitt lymphoma (13%) and high-grade B-cell lymphoma (8%). The majority were at an advanced stage (93%) with a high IPI score (75%). Most patients received anthracycline-containing regimens (72%) and prophylactic allopurinol (83%) and/or rasburicase (26%). Steroid prophase was administered to 82% of patients. The study identified one clinical TLS case and six laboratory TLS cases. Significant TLS factors included BL histology, elevated baseline LDH (⟩500 U/l), and rasburicase usage. Infusion reactions were rare (3%). Median progression-free survival was 2.6 years, and 2-year overall survival was 33%, irrespective of TLS occurrence. Conclusion: In this real-life study, clinical TLS occurrence was low (1%). TLS appeared more frequent in BL but did not impact overall survival. Fractionated initial rituximab dosing in addition to preventive strategies is a feasible approach in preventing clinical TLS, warranting further prospective investigation.
