Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
R-EPOCH
Rituximab: an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, which has the ability to kill B cells, be they normal or malignant; Etoposide: a topoisomerase inhibitor from the group of epipodofyllotoxins; Prednisolone: a glucocorticoid hormone that can cause apoptosis and lysis of both normal and malignant lymphocytes; Oncovin, also known as vincristine: a vinca alkaloid that binds to the protein tubulin, thereby preventing the formation of microtubules and mitosis; Cyclophosphamide: an alkylating antineoplastic agent; Hydroxydaunorubicin, also known as doxorubicin: an anthracycline antibiotic that is able to intercalate DNA, damaging it and preventing the cell division.
Other Names:
  • Rituximab,Etoposide,Prednisolone,Oncovin,Cyclophosphamide,Hydroxydaunorubici
