Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: To increase the complete response rate pre-transplant in aggressive mantle cell lymphoma by intensified immunochemotherapy with rituximab, high dose Ara-C and dexamethasone. In the NORDIC area only high risk patients (MIPI-B) are included, while in the UK all patients in need of treatment are included. The result in all patients will be compared to a historic control of corresponding patients in the NORDIC MCL2 trial.;Secondary Objective: To improve the following:<br>Time to treatment failure<br>Progression free survival rate<br>Overall survival<br>Toxicity<br>The evaluation of response with FDG-PET<br>The evaluation of response with MRD<br>The stem cell harvest yield<br>The evaluation of biomarkers for biology and prediction of response<br>To establish a bio bank<br>;Primary end point(s): Complete remission pre-transplant;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 15
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary end point(s): Over all survival<br>Time to treatment failure<br>Time to progression<br>Evaluation of response with FDG-PET and MRD<br>Stem cell harvest yield<br>Evaluation of biomarkers for biology and prediction of response and response duration;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 5 years. <br>FDG-PET evaluation week 15 and 3 months post transplant<br>MRD evaluation weeks 9 and 15 and then 3 months post transplant<br>MRD evaluation weeks 9 and 15, then 3 and 6 months post-transplant, then every 6 months for 5 years.
