Eligibility criteria for registration, Inclusion criteria R-PECC induction:
- Histologically confirmed aggressive B-cell NHL according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification (see appendix A): Follicular lymphoma grade 3b, Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
- Refractory disease or histologically confirmed first or second relapse
(Refractory is defined as no response or partial remission according to CT. Patients in partial
response (PR) can only be included in case of positive PET scan or positive biopsy)
- CD20 positive (assessed at 1st diagnosis or from fresh histology at confirmation of relapse or immunophenotyping of circulating CD20-positive NHL cells from peripheral blood)
- Current measurable disease, i.e. measurable in two perpendicular dimensions on physical examination or computerized tomography (CT) scan using standardized response criteria for NHL (Cheson et al21, 1999) (see appendix B)
- Age > 18 years
- WHO performance status 0, 1 or 2 (see appendix E)
- Life expectancy of at least 3 months
- Absolute neutrophil count > 1.5 x 109/l and platelet count > 100 x 109/l (unless caused by NHL infiltration in the bone marrow)
- Written informed consent
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 15
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 45
Eligibility criteria for registration, Exclusion criteria R-PECC induction:
- Prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation
- Prior radioimmunotherapy
- Patients who have received chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 6 weeks prior to study entry or who have not recovered from toxicities related to prior therapies
- Eligibility for ASCT
- ASCT within 12 months of study entry
- Investigational drugs within 4 weeks prior to entry on this study or persistent toxic side effects of such therapy
- Treatment with external-beam radiation therapy to more than 25% of active bone marrow (see appendix F)
- A history of intolerance to rituximab
- Severe cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, psychiatric or metabolic disease which could compromise participation in the study, or serious underlying medical conditions which could impair the ability of the patient to participate in the trial
- Hepatic dysfunction, bilirubin or transaminases = 2.5 x upper normal limit (unless caused by the NHL)
- Renal dysfunction, serum creatinine = 180 µmol/l or clearance = 40 ml/min (unless caused by the NHL)
- Active uncontrolled infections
- Patients known to be HIV-positive
- Current or chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection
- Symptomatic NHL localization in the central nervous system (CNS). Lumbal puncture is not required unless CNS involvement with NHL is clinically suspected
- Transformed indolent lymphoma
- Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder
- Pregnant or breast-feeding female patients. Negative serum pregnancy test at study is mandatory for female patients of childbearing potential
