- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To evaluate overall treatment response (Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response(PR)) of an outpatient-based fractionated salvage regimen consisting of ifosfamide, etoposide plus rituximab (R-IE) given every three weeks in patients > 60 years with relapsed or refractory CD20 positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and who are not considered eligible for stem cell transplantation. [To be assessed after Cycle 3 & 6.]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To evaluate overall survival[Every 3 months following completion of 6 cycles of therapy for 5 years.];To evaluate event free survival[Every 3 months following completion of 6 cycles of therapy for 5 years.];To evaluate the safety profile[After each cycle of therapy];To evaluate the haematological toxicity (grades 3/4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia).[After each cycle of therapy]
