Detailed Description

This is a randomized, phase III study to evaluate the ability of thalidomide maintenance therapy to prolong relapse-free survival(RFS), in diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Patients will be enrolled after successful standard induction therapy (CR or CRu following standard R-CHOP-like therapy with 8 infusions of rituximab plus CHOP-like chemotherapy (4-8 cycles). Patients will be followed until an event occurs as defined in the protocol. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of thalidomide maintenance therapy as compared to observation in patients with DLBCL who have achieved a complete remission after appropriate first-line therapy, measured by RFS, 226 patients with DLCBL will be recruited.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Observation
Other: Observation
Just observation
Experimental: Thalidomide
Thalidomide 50mg daily by mouth( increase 50mg after 2 weeks if tolerated until 200mg/day) until disease progression or intolerance due to AEs.The dose could be reduced if the patient experienced grade 2 or higher AEs. Does reductions for AEs were recommended (200 mg daily to 100 mg daily, 100 mg daily to 50 mg daily).In patients intolerant of 50mg/day, thalidomide discontinuation was allowed.
Drug: Thalidomide
Thalidomide 50mg daily by mouth( increase 25mg after 2 weeks if tolerated Until 200mg/day) until disease progression or intolerance due to AEs.The dose could be reduced if patient experienced grade 2 or higher AEs. Does reductions for AEs were recommended (200 mg daily to 100 mg daily, 100 mg daily to 50 mg daily).In patients intolerant of 50mg/ day, thalidomide discontinuation was allowed.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Relapse-free survival
Time Frame: 5 years
RFS was defined as the time between randomization and any documentation of relapse, death by any cause or last follow up.
5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall survival
Time Frame: 5 years
OS was defined as the interval from randomization to death or the last follow-up for surviving patients.
5 years
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events
Time Frame: 5 years
Adverse events were classified as defined by the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria, version 2. Safety evaluations were focused especially on neurological symptoms and the development of deep venous thrombosis (DVT).
