Abstract

Reduced anticancer efficacy of cyclophosphamide and platinum salts has been reported in animals treated with anti-Gram-positive antibiotics. These effects were related to translocation of Gram-positive bacteria during mucositis with subsequent induction of cytotoxic oxygen reactive species and tumor invasion by pathogenic Th17 cells. To assess these hypotheses in a clinical setting, we identified patients receiving cyclophosphamide for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and cisplatin for relapsed lymphoma. Data originated from the CLL8 trial (NCT00281918) and the Cologne Cohort of Neutropenic Patients (NCT01821456). Relevant antibiotics were defined as compounds with primary activity against Gram-positive bacteria. We evaluated their impact on response, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) by Kaplan-Meier methodology and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Among 800 available CLL patients, those receiving anti-Gram-positive antibiotics (n = 45/800) achieved a significantly lower overall response rate (OR 74.3% vs. 90.2%, p = 0.007). Patients with anti-Gram-positive antibiotics progressed significantly earlier, had a reduced OS (median PFS 14.1 vs. 44.1 mo, p < 0.001; median OS 56.1 vs. 91.7 mo, p < 0.001) and multivariate analysis showed that administration of anti-Gram-positive antibiotic treatment was independently associated with reduced PFS (Hazard ratio (HR) 2.090, p = 0.001) and OS (HR 2.966, p < 0.001). Of 122 patients with relapsed lymphoma, those treated with anti-Gram-positive antibiotics (n = 21/122) achieved a significantly lower OR rate (70.3% vs. 42.9%, p = 0.016). Patients with anti-Gram-positive antibiotics progressed significantly earlier than others (median PFS 2.3 vs. 11.5 mo, p = 0.001). As for multivariate analysis, the use of anti-Gram-positive antibiotics was independently associated with reduced PFS (HR 2.237, p = 0.012) and OS (HR 7.831, p < 0.001). Our data supports a potential negative impact of anti-Gram-positive antibiotics on the anticancer activity of cyclophosphamide and cisplatin in a clinical setting.
