A Phase II Trial of Ifosfamide, Etoposide, Cytarabine, and Methotrexate (IVAM) Chemotherapy for Refractory or Relapsed Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (IVAM)

December 22, 2017 updated by: Cheolwon Suh, Asan Medical Center
A phase II trial of ifosfamide, etoposide, cytarabine, and methotrexate (IVAM) chemotherapy for refractory or relapsed diffuse large B cell lymphoma

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Diffuse Large B-Cell lymphoma is currently used as a standard treatment, with a combination of chemotherapy (R-CHOP), which includes Rituximab. However, the survival rate is very poor if the primary treatment is refractory or relapsed within a year or less. The duration of these patients ' lives is around one year and the five-year survival rate is 15-20 %. Thus, a new treatment strategy is needed to improve the survival of the patient with DLBCL, which are either refractory and relapsed.
