OptiMATe: De-escalated Induction Treatment in Primary CNS Lymphoma
- Conditions
- Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma
- Registration Number
- NCT04931368
- Lead Sponsor
- Klinikum Stuttgart
- Brief Summary
This phase III study investigates if a de-escalated induction treatment in newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma is superior to the standard MATRix protocol in terms of event free survival.
- Detailed Description
This phase III study investigates if a de-escalated induction treatment in newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma is superior to the standard MATRix protocol in terms of event free survival. Two arms are compared, in the experimental treatment group, participants receive one course of R/HD-MTX, followed by two courses of MATRix and autologous stem cell transplantation. In the control treatment, participants receive four coourses of MATRix followed by autologous stem cell transplantation.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Event-free survival (EFS) up to 24 months after end of treatment time from randomization to premature end of treatment due to any reason, lymphoma progression or death, whichever occurs first
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Remission rate after consolidation therapy 30 days after ASCT Remission after consolidation therapy will be determined on day 30 after ASCT and will be divided in CR, uCR, PR, SD, PD according to IPCG criteria
Overall survival (OS) up to 24 months after end of treatment time from randomization to death of any course
Remission rate prior to consolidation therapy assesed at RA II (Arm B: day 18-20 of cycle 2, each cycle is 21 days. Arm A: day 18-20 of cycle 4, each cycle is 21 days) Remission prior to consolidation therapy will be determined at RA II and will be divided in CR, uCR, PR, CD, PD according to IPCG criteria
Quality of life (QOL), EORTC QLQ-C30, up to 24 months after end of treatment EORTC (European Organization for research and cancer treatment) QLQ-C30, measured during screening, at response assessment II, and with beginning of RA III every 12 months until end of follow-up
Progression free survival (PFS) up to 24 months after end of treatment time from randomization until disease progression, relapse or death from any cause
rate of patients reaching consolidation therapy determined up to 4 weeks after response assessment II defined as obtaining at least the first dose of consolidation therapy, will be determined after the response assessment II (following 4 cycles of MATRix in the control arm and following 1 cycle of R/HD-MTX and 2 cycles of MATRix in the experimental arm)
Quality of life (QOL), QLQ-BN20 up to 24 months after end of treatment EORTC (European Organization for research and cancer treatment) QLQ-BN20; measured during screening, at response assessment II, and with beginning of RA III every 12 months until end of follow-up
