  • Transaminase (AST/ALT) < 3 X upper normal value (or < 5 x ULN in the presence of DLBCL involvement of the liver) Bilirubin < 2 X upper normal value (or < 5 x ULN in the presence of DLBCL involvement of the liver)

About this study

This is Phase II prospective trial of addition of rituximab to reduced dose CHOP chemotherapy in DLBC L patients aged 65 years and over.

Read the detailed description

The body surface area(BSA) on the date of every treatment cycle may be used as the same value of baseline BSA, if change of body weight is within 10% of baseline body weight. But, if there is a change of body weight more than 10% that of baseline, BSA should be recalculated. It will be repeated every 21 days. But the change of starting date of subsequent cycle and laboratory or radiologic tests may be allowed within 4 days from the scheduled date or delay due to toxicities. The RD-RCHOP treatment will be continued up to 6-8 cycles (or 3 cycles in case of stable disease(SD) or progressive disease(PD) after the first 3cycles) with duration of 21 days. Visit windows ± 4days in Treatment period.

Being tested
Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Prednisone
Medical subject headings

Reduced dose R-CHOPExperimentalReduced dose R-CHOP is regimen including Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone. In this study, Rituximab 375 mg/m2, Cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2, Doxorubicin 30 mg/m2 and Vincristine fixed dose of 1mg will be administrated through intravenous on day 1. and Prednisone 40mg will be administrated orally on day 1-5. This chemotherapy will be repeated every 21 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. 3 year progression free survival rate

    Measured: Time between the date of treatment start and the date of death due to any cause or date of disease progression, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall response rate

    Measured: Until the disease progression (maximum 3 years after completion of treatment, assessed up to 36 months(

  2. Overall survival

    Measured: Time between the date of treatment start and the date of death due to any cause or date of disease progression, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months

  3. Toxicity profile

    Measured: From the date of first drug administration until the date of the 30th days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Prednisone in people with Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma, run by Pusan National University Hospital.

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 16 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

3 year progression free survival rate (time frame: Time between the date of treatment start and the date of death due to any cause or date of disease progression, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months). 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 9 Jun 2016.
