A Phase II Study of 131I-rituximab for Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)

Phase 2
Conditions
Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma
Interventions
Drug: 131I-rituximab
Registration Number
NCT01676558
Lead Sponsor
Korea Cancer Center Hospital
Brief Summary

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Korea. Although there is standard therapy, which is called 'R-CHOP', many obstacles to use aggressive cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents such as old age, poor performance status, refractoriness, and relapsed disease still remains. So we investigate the efficacy of radioimmunotherapy using 131I-rituximab in refractory or relapsed patients with DLBCL.
