Detailed Description
Trial purpose and rationale Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a highly aggressive disease with rising incidence over the past 30 years. Similar to other hematological diseases, the rationale for consolidation in PCNSL is the elimination of minimal residual disease. The efficacy of WBRT, which is the current standard for consolidation after HD-MTX-based systemic treatment, is being compared to HDT-ASCT in the ongoing IELSG-32 trial.
High-dose chemotherapy with carmustine or busulfan and thiotepa followed by autologous stem cell transplantation has been shown to be feasible and highly effective in newly diagnosed eligible patients, but also in the salvage situation.
The question we aim to answer is whether HDT-ASCT is superior to conventional therapy as consolidation after intensified immunochemotherapy in newly diagnosed PCNSL.
Rationale for this study:
Based on previously obtained good results from the treatment of recurrent or refractory PCNSL the DeVIC protocol was chosen for conventional consolidation treatment. This protocol, originally designed as a salvage protocol for aggressive NHL, crosses the blood-brain barrier and consists of multidrug resistant unrelated agents.
Treatment plan and procedure
Interventions
Induction treatment 4 cycles (every 3 weeks), stem-cell harvest after 2nd cycle:
- Rituximab 375 mg/m²/d i.v. (d 0,5)

Patients with PD after two cycles, SD/PD after four cycles of induction therapy or insufficient stem-cell harvest after three cycles are ineligible for randomization.

- Ifosfamide 1500 mg/m²/d i.v. (d1-3)
- Carboplatin 300 mg/m² i.v. (d1)
Consolidation Arm B
High-dose chemotherapy (HDT-ASCT):
- Carmustine* 400 mg/m² i.v. (d-6)
- Thiotepa 2 x 5 mg/kg/d i.v. (d-5-(-4))
Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (d0)
* if carmustine is not available at the investigation site, busulfan can be administered instead:
- Busulfan 3,2 mg/kg/d (d-8-(-7))
- Thiotepa 2 x 5 mg/kg/d i.v. (d-5-(-4))
