R-CHOP Combined With Lenalidomide in the First-line Treatment for Patients With Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma

Registration Number
NCT04214626
Lead Sponsor
Henan Cancer Hospital
Brief Summary

This is a prospective single-arm, multi-center, phase II clinical trial to observe the efficacy and safety of R-CHOP (Rituximab-Cyclophosphamide, Epirubicin, Vincristine and Prednisone) combined with lenalidomide in the first-line treatment for patients with medium to high risk/high risk diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

Detailed Description

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Currently, R-CHOP is world-widely used in the first-line treatment for DLBCL. There are about one second of patients suffering relapse and drug resistance. Lenalidomide is an analog of thalidomide, the mechanism of anti-tumor action has not been fully elucidated. Lenalidomide has been proved to inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells in certain hematopoietic systems. At present, it has been approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma with good efficacy and safety. The goal of our trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of R-CHOP combined with lenalidomide in the first-line treatment for patients with medium to high risk/high risk diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

R-CHOP regimen Combined With LenalidomideRituximabExperimental: R-CHOP regimen Combined With Lenalidomide Induction Chemotherapy: Rituximab, 375mg/m2, Intravenous administration on day 0, Lenalidomide, 25mg oral administration on day 1 to 10, combined with regimen:CHOP (Cyclophosphamide, Epirubicin, Vincristine and Prednisone): repeated every 3 weeks, up to 6 cycles. Patients will exit and receive salvage treatment for the following situations: disease progression, stable disease after 2 cycles treatment, partial response after 4 cycles treatment or unacceptable toxicity develops. Maintenance Treatment for patients with CR after 6 cycles: Rituximab, 375mg/m2, Intravenous administration on day 0 repeated every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity develops, up to 2 cycles. PS: Methotrexate, 1g/m2, Intravenous administration on day 3 of each 3-week cycle, from 2 to 5 cycles for patients with high recurrence risk of the central nervous system.
