Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of rituximab in primary breast DLBCL using a matched pair analysis following strict matching criteria in patients with primary breast and nodal DLBCL treated with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) regimen.

Study population: The primary breast DLBCL group was identified from the nation-wide surveys in the university hospital, general hospital, and cancer institute of Korea. And, the nodal DLBCL group, as a matching control group, was selected from the data registry of Korean Society of Hematology Lymphoma Working Party.

  • Stage I or II of primary breast DLBCL treated with R-CHOP
  • Stage I or II of nodal DLBCL treated with R-CHOP
  • Definition of primary breast DLBCL - Isolated breast involvement with or without nodal disease, which include distant nodal disease as well as regional nodal disease
  • Definition of nodal DLBCL
  • The disease was only limited to the lymph nodes or lymphoid organs

Who cannot join

  • Primary breast DLBCL or nodal DLBCL treated without rituximab
  • Secondary breast DLBCL

About this study

Official title: Matched Pair Analysis Comparing the Outcomes of Primary Breast and Nodal Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma in Patients Treated With R-CHOP; Consortium for Improving Survival of Lymphoma (CISL) Study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of rituximab in primary breast DLBCL using a matched pair analysis following strict matching criteria in patients with primary breast and nodal DLBCL treated with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) regimen.

Read the detailed description

Primary breast lymphoma represents 1.7% to 2.2% of all extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Histologically, the diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most predominant subtype of PBL. Previous studies in the pre-rituximab era have identified the worse outcomes in primary breast DLBCL compared with nodal DLBCL. Few clinical studies have been reported for investigating the efficacy of rituximab in patients with primary breast DLBCL. For clarifying this, a large randomized trial comparing survival in patients with primary breast DLBCL is required. However, the rarity of primary breast DLBCL makes large trial virtually difficult in single center or study group. Additionally, retrospective studies for evaluating the role of rituximab in primary breast DLBCL had bias according to the difference of treatment period between CHOP and R-CHOP era. Thus, in attempt to clarify the impact of rituximab on survival and patterns of progression in patients with primary breast DLBCL, the investigators performed this matched pair analysis following strict matching criteria in patients with primary breast DLBCL, who were identified from our previous nation-wide survey, and nodal DLBCL, who were selected from the data registry of Korean Society of Hematology Lymphoma Working Party, treated with R-CHOP regimen.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Primary breast DLBCLPrimary breast DLBCL was defined as that involving single extranodal organ (i.e. breast) regardless of the status of nodal disease.
Nodal DLBCLThe disease was only limited to the lymph nodes or lymphoid organs without extranodal organ involvements.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma, Large B-Cell, Diffuse, run by Chonbuk National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 29 Nov 2011. 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 South Korea. 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.

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?

Overall Survival (time frame: 3 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01266668, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Nov 2011.
