High-dose Chemotherapy With Rituximab for Adults With Aggressive Large B-cell Lymphoma

August 25, 2009 updated by: Nantes University Hospital

Front-line High-dose Chemotherapy (HDT) Combined With Rituximab for Adults With Aggressive Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) : Goelams 074 Trial.

A prospective pilot trial was proposed to patients with DLBCL, with IH or high adjusted IPI, up to the age of 60 y.o. This program consisted of 2 courses of high-dose R-CHOP-like regimen, followed by a course of high-dose methotrexate with cytarabin. For patients who achieved at least a PR, ASCT started with a BEAM regimen.

Detailed Description

Superiority of HDT with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in the upfront treatment of poor-risk DLBCL remains an option for intermediate-high (IH) or high IPI young adults. We updated results of the prospective trial Goelams 074 to evaluate long-term efficacy and toxicity in 42 patients who underwent HDT with ASCT.
