Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive

PRO-AGGRESSIVE

Triggers that push toward the aggressive track
  • Age >75 + ECOG ≥2 OR significant comorbidity — pentostatin's weekly schedule allows finer toxicity titration than cladribine 5-7 day continuous infusion; preferred for fragile patients.RF-HCL-FRAILTY-AGE

CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE

Hard contraindications to escalation

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Standard plan (IND-HCL-1L-CLADRIBINE)
  • Do not start in active uncontrolled infection — deep CD4 lymphopenia will significantly increase the risk.
  • Do not skip PJP + HSV prophylaxis for ≥1 year post-treatment.
  • Do not skip BRAF V600E testing — required for second-line targeted therapy at relapse.
  • Do not treat asymptomatic HCL without cytopenia / splenomegaly indication.
Aggressive plan (IND-HCL-1L-PENTOSTATIN)
  • Do not prescribe in severe renal impairment without dose adjustment.
  • Do not skip PJP + HSV prophylaxis.
