Substituting vinblastine for vincristine might have similar efficacy, with lower severity of gastrointestinal adverse events.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Hypothesis\/Objectives<\/jats:title>\n To evaluate whether the addition of vinblastine to a low-dose vincristine COP protocol could reduce the frequency and severity of adverse gastrointestinal effects while maintaining or increasing efficacy.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Animals<\/jats:title>\n Medical records of 41 cats with large-cell lymphoma treated with the modified COVP protocol at one veterinary referral institution.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Retrospective case series study. All relevant clinical data were retrospectively collected. Median progression-free survival, disease-free interval, and survival time were calculated using the Kaplan\u2013Meier Method. Differences between groups were analyzed using the log-rank test, and adverse events were graded using VCOG-CTCAE v2.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Progression-free survival was 264\u2009days (range, 6\u20131486\u2009days), the disease-free interval was 812\u2009days (range, 39\u20131486\u2009days) and the median survival time for all cats was 412\u2009days (range, 7\u20131772\u2009days). Complete response was achieved in 59% of the cases, and partial response was observed in 17%. Cats that achieved CR lived significantly longer, 838\u2009days (range, 81\u20131772\u2009days) versus 143\u2009days (range, 10\u2013798\u2009days; p\u2009=\u20090.0018). The COVP protocol was generally well tolerated, and the most common adverse effects were mild signs of gastrointestinal disease and hematological abnormalities that did not require a pause in treatment. Grade-1 vomiting was the most common (24%), followed by grade-2 (22%) and grade-1 reduced appetite (20%).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Cats with lymphoma treated with COVP seem to achieve acceptable survival and response rates compared to traditional chemotherapy protocols.<\/jats:p>\n
