Lean Body Mass and Side Effects in Patients With Lymphoma

Conditions
Malignant Lymphoma
Registration Number
NCT04698616
Lead Sponsor
Jens Rikardt Andersen
Brief Summary

The primary purpose is to investigate the relationship between the dose of chemotherapeutic agents per kilogram of lean body mass (LBM) and the development of side effects induced by chemotherapy in patients with lymphoma. Secondarily, the maximum tolerable dose of chemotherapeutics (MTD), patients' quality of life (QOL), nutritional status and physical activity during the course of treatment are estimated.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Lean Body Mass (LBM)8 weeks (two treatment cycles)

LBM measured by bioelectrical impedans corelated to the dosis of chemotherapeutics given

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximal tolerable dose of chemotherapeutics (microg/ml/kg LBM),8 weeks (two treatment cycles)

Patients with side effects - correlation between dose of cytostatics/ kg LBM compared to patients without side effects

nutritional status at inclusion (NRS2002 - scale)8 weeks (two treatment cycles)

Predictive value of scale for ocurrence of side-effects (binary)

physical activity (scale - questionaire)8 weeks (two treatmenr cycles)

Corelation between cytostatic dose/kg LBM and scale

Quality of life (QOL) (score EORTC)8 weeks (two treatment cycles)

Correlation of score and difference in LBM (kg)
