Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Lymphoma, B-Cell Lymphoma, Large-Cell, Diffuse | Drug: R-CHOP14 induction regimen Drug: R-ACVBP14 induction regimen | Phase 2 |
1) Induction Arm A: 4 cycles of R-ACVBP, 2 weeks interval. After the 3rd cycle, if PET 2+ (fixing), collection of peripheral blood stem cell progenitors will be organized at the time of hematological recovery under support with G-CSF.
The consolidation treatment will depend on results of PET evaluation after cycle 2 (PET2) and cycle 4 (PET4).
-
Consolidation 1A (in case of PET 2- PET 4 -):
- High-dose Methotrexate with folinic acid rescue; 2 cycles spaced out 14 days.
- Rituximab-Ifosfamide-Etoposide : 4 cycles spaced out 14 days
- Cytarabine sub-cutaneous, during 4 days; 2 cycles spaced out 14 days.
-
Consolidation 2 A (in case of PET 2+ PET4 -):
- 2 cycles high-dose Methotrexate with folinic acid rescue
- High dose with Z- BEAM conditioning regimen followed by autologous transplant.
- Salvage(in case of PET 4 +):
The patient will be treated with a salvage regimen, after a biopsy of the residual mass whenever possible.
2) Induction arm B: 4 cycles of R-CHOP, 2 weeks interval. After the 3rd cycle, if PET 2+ (fixing), collection of peripheral blood stem cell progenitors will be organized at the time of hematological recovery under support with G-CSF.
The consolidation treatment will depend on results of PET evaluation after cycle 2 (PET2) and cycle 4 (PET4).
-
Consolidation 1B(in case of PET 2- PET 4 -):
4 additional cycles of R-CHOP, 2-weeks interval
-
Consolidation 2 B(in case of PET 2+ PET 4 -):
- 2 cycles high-dose Methotrexate with folinic acid rescue
- High dose with Z- BEAM conditioning regimen followed by autologous transplant
- Salvage(in case of PET 4 +):
The patient will be treated with a salvage regimen, after a biopsy of the residual mass whenever possible

- Age from18 to 59 years, eligible for transplant.
- Patient not previously treated.
- Baseline FDG-PET Scan (PET0) performed before any treatment with at least one hypermetabolic lesion.
- Index prognostic factors (IPI) 2 or 3.

- Negative HIV, HBV and HCV serologies £ 4 weeks (except after vaccination).
- Having previously signed a written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any other histological type of lymphoma.
- Any history of treated or non-treated indolent lymphoma. However, patients not previously diagnosed and having a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with some small cell infiltration in bone marrow or lymph node may be included.
- Central nervous system or meningeal involvement by lymphoma.
- Contra-indication to any drug contained in the chemotherapy regimens.
- Poor renal function (creatinin level >150 mmol/l), poor hepatic function (total bilirubin level >30 mmol/l, transaminases >2.5 maximum normal level) unless these abnormalities are related to the lymphoma.
- Poor bone marrow reserve as defined by neutrophils <1.5 G/l or platelets <100 G/l, unless related to bone marrow infiltration.

- Treatment with any investigational drug within 30 days before planned first cycle of chemotherapy.
- Pregnant or lactating women or women of childbearing potential not currently practicing an adequate method of contraception
- Adult patient under tutelage.
- Impossibility to performed a baseline PET scan (PET0) before randomization and treatment beginning
