Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
91

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion criteria

  1. Histologically confirmed CD20 positive Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)
  2. Advanced stage: stage III, IV and/or bulky disease (largest diameter ≥ 10.0 cm) regardless of stage
  3. Previously untreated.
  4. Performance status: ECOG 0-2.
  5. Age ≥ 18

  6. At least one or more bidimensionally measurable lesion(s)

    • ≥ 2 cm by conventional CT
    • ≥ 1 cm by spiral CT
    • skin lesion (photographs should be taken) ≥ 2 cm
    • measurable lesion by physical examination ≥ 2 cm
  7. Cardiac ejection fraction ≥ 50 % as measured by MUGA or 2D ECHO without clinically significant abnormalities
  8. Adequate renal function: serum creatinine level < 2 mg/dL (177 μmol/L)

  9. Adequate liver functions:

    • Transaminase (AST/ALT) < 3 X upper normal value (or < 5 x ULN in the presence of DLBCL involvement of the liver)
    • Bilirubin < 2 X upper normal value (or < 5 x ULN in the presence of DLBCL involvement of the liver)
  10. Adequate hematological function: hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/μL and platelet count ≥ 75,000/μL, unless abnormalities are due to bone marrow involvement by lymphoma
  11. Life expectancy ≥ 6 months
  12. A negative serum or urine pregnancy test prior to treatment must be available both for pre menopausal women and for women who are < 1 years after the onset of menopause.
  13. Informed consent

Exclusion criteria

  1. Other subtypes NHL than DLBCL
  2. Patients who transformed follicular lymphoma or other indolent lymphoma
  3. Primary Central Nervous System (CNS) DLBCL;
  4. CNS involvement by lymphoma or any evidence of spinal cord compression. Brain CT/MRI is only mandatory (within 4 weeks) in case of clinical suspicion of CNS involvement by lymphoma. Patients who have only had prophylactic intrathecal chemotherapy against CNS disease are eligible.
  5. Patients with a known history of HIV seropositivity or HCV (+). Patients who have HBV (+) are eligible. However, primary prophylaxis using antiviral agents (i.e. lamivudine) is recommended for HBV carrier to prevent HBV reactivation during whole treatment period.
  6. Any other malignancies within the past 5 years except curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer or in situ carcinoma of cervix uteri
  7. Pregnant or lactating women, women of childbearing potential not employing adequate contraception

  8. Other serious illness or medical conditions

    • Unstable cardiac disease despite treatment, myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to study entry
    • History of significant neurological or psychiatric disorders including dementia or seizures
    • Active uncontrolled infection (viral, bacterial or fungal infection)
    • Other serious medical illnesses
  9. Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or its ingredients (i.e., hypersensitivity to Polysorbate 20, CHO cell products, or recombinant human antibodies)
  10. Concomitant administration of any other experimental drug under investigation, or concomitant chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, or immunotherapy.
