- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: •To evaluate the activity of GA101-miniCHOP regimen in terms of complete response rate (CRR);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 36 months from first patient in ;Secondary Objective: •To evaluate the safety and tolerability of GA101 miniCHOP regiment in terms of adverse events<br>•Partial and Overall Response Rate: PR and ORR (CR+PR)<br>•Overall Survival (OS)<br>•Progression Free Survival (PFS)<br>•Dynamics of Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA)<br>•Dynamics of Quality of Life (QoL) questionnaires<br>;Primary end point(s): •Complete Response Rate after 10 infusions of GA101 and 6 cycles of miniCHOP. The response rate to therapy will be based a central Independent Review Committee of response that will not consider the results of FDG-PET but will only use the conventional CT scan images (International Criteria, B. Cheson, JCO 1999)
