Seventy‐three patients had additional HDtx followed by autologous stem cell rescue. The 2‐year event‐free survival (EFS) was 10% (SE = 0.02) in patients treated without HDtx and 45% (SE = 0.09) in patients treated with HDtx. In a second step, we focused on those patients who achieved complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) after four to six cycles of conventional second‐line CHtx. Here, the 2‐year EFS was 31% (SE = 0.08) without additional HDtx and 44% (SE = 0.09) with additional HDtx. In addition, multivariate regression analysis indicates absence of HDtx treatment, with a Hazard ratio (HR) of 2.90 (95% CI 1.41–6.0), and early relapse, with a HR of 4.76 (95% CI 2.31–9.78), as independent prognostic factors for EFS.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>Additional HDtx may contribute to further reduce the risk of further events in patients who respond to conventional second‐line CHtx.
