About this study

Official title: Front-line High-dose Chemotherapy (HDT) Combined With Rituximab for Adults With Aggressive Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) : Goelams 074 Trial.

A prospective pilot trial was proposed to patients with DLBCL, with IH or high adjusted IPI, up to the age of 60 y.o. This program consisted of 2 courses of high-dose R-CHOP-like regimen, followed by a course of high-dose methotrexate with cytarabin. For patients who achieved at least a PR, ASCT started with a BEAM regimen.

Read the detailed description

Superiority of HDT with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in the upfront treatment of poor-risk DLBCL remains an option for intermediate-high (IH) or high IPI young adults. We updated results of the prospective trial Goelams 074 to evaluate long-term efficacy and toxicity in 42 patients who underwent HDT with ASCT.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. CR rate after 3 high dose chemotherapy courses

    Measured: safety/efficacy of chemotherapy treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. CR and PR rate at the end of the study treatment

    Measured: safety/efficacy of treatment30 days after the end of post ASCT aplasia

  2. PFS,EFS and OS

    Measured: safety/efficacy of study treatment

  3. Tolerance of Rituximab combined with chemotherapy

    Measured: safety/efficacy of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rituximab in people with B-Cell Lymphoma, run by Nantes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

CR rate after 3 high dose chemotherapy courses (time frame: safety/efficacy of chemotherapy treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Aug 2009.
