Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, China
Brief Summary

This is an open-label, multicentre, randomized phase II non-inferiority trial aiming to compare the efficacy and safety of 4 versus 6 cycles of CHP (administered at 21-day intervals), both in combination with 6 cycles of polatuzumab vedotin and rituximab, in previously untreated patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and an International Prognostic Index (IPI) score of 0-1. The study's primary objective is to determine if shorter CHP duration can achieve comparable outcomes to the standard 6-cycle regimen when combined with polatuzumab vedotin and rituximab

Detailed Description

The POLARIX study demonstrated that the Pola-R-CHP regimen (replacing vincristine in R-CHOP with Pola) significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) and is safer than traditional R-CHOP. The FLYER study suggested that 4 cycles of R-CHOP followed by 2 additional doses of rituximab in young, low-risk DLBCL patients (IPI 0-1) are as effective as 6 cycles of R-CHOP and result in lower toxicity. Based on the efficacy of Pola-R-CHP and the potential for reducing treatment intensity in low-risk patients, this study will evaluate whether 4 cycles of Pola-R-CHP followed by 2 cycles of Pola-R are non-inferior to 6 cycles of Pola-R-CHP in treatment-naive low-risk DLBCL patients (IPI 0-1), with a potentially better safety profile.
