Lean Body Mass and Side Effects in Patients With Lymphoma

January 4, 2021 updated by: Jens Rikardt Andersen

The Relation Between Lean Body Mass and Side Effects Induced by Chemotherapy in Patients With Lymphoma: A Prospective Cohort Study

The primary purpose is to investigate the relationship between the dose of chemotherapeutic agents per kilogram of lean body mass (LBM) and the development of side effects induced by chemotherapy in patients with lymphoma. Secondarily, the maximum tolerable dose of chemotherapeutics (MTD), patients' quality of life (QOL), nutritional status and physical activity during the course of treatment are estimated.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Malignant lymphoma patients
Identification of the patients who are/are not dose-reduced due to chemotherapy, and then look at the body composition in connection with this.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
