Background: Dose-modified (dm) CODOX-M/IVAC is commonly used for Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and BL (BCL-U; previously Burkitt-like lymphoma-BLL). Methods: We evaluated the clinical characteristics, outcomes and prognostic markers in patients treated with dmCODOX-M/IVAC+/- rituximab (R) at a single academic center. Results: 31 patients with BL (n = 21) or BCL-U (n = 10) were included. The median age was 45, and 90% were high risk. The 2-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 69% and 62%, respectively, with no differences between BL and BCL-U. By multivariable analysis, rituximab use was significantly associated with improved OS (Hazard Ratio 0.15; 95% CI 0.04 - 0.56) while elevated LDH (Hazard Ratio 2.84, 95% CI 1.52 - 5.29) and rituximab use (Hazard Ratio 0.054, 95% CI 0.01 - 0.32) predicted PFS. Conclusion: DmCODOX-M/IVAC+/- R chemotherapy provides equivalent survival for both BL and BCL-U patients. The addition of rituximab improves overall and progression free survival and is recommended.
