Registration Number
NCT00499018
Lead Sponsor
Fondazione Italiana Linfomi - ETS
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to define an improvement in patients randomized in four different arms:

Arm 1: R-MegaCHOP14x4 + R-MAD + MAD + BEAM + ASCT; Arm 1BIS: R-CHOP14x4 + R-MAD + MAD + BEAM + ASCT; Arm 2: R-MegaCHOP14x4 + R-MegaCHOP14x2; Arm 2BIS: R-CHOP14x4 + R-CHOP14x4; Which are different in dose dense chemotherapy + Rituximab with or without intensified high dose chemoimmunotherapy and support of peripheral autologous stem cells.
