Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether patients who are likely to fail R-CHOP, as predicted by a mid-treatment PET scan, can have an improved outcome if switched to a standard salvage regimen R-ICE (rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide).

Patients who have a negative PET scan after 4 cycles of R-CHOP have an excellent prognosis (>85% chance of cure) and should complete treatment with 6 cycles of standard R-CHOP. Patients who have a positive PET scan after 4 cycles of R-CHOP have a very poor prognosis (~10% chance of cure) and may have an improved outcome if switched to a non-cross resistant chemotherapy combination R-ICE.

Description:

This is a phase II trial investigating tailoring first-line therapy for advanced stage diffuse large B-cell NHL (DLBCL) based on a mid-treatment 18F-FDG- positron-emission tomography (PET) scan result. More than half of all patients with DLBCL can be cured with 6-8 cycles of standard R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone). Patients who are not cured with R-CHOP have a very poor prognosis. This study will assess whether patients who are likely to fail R-CHOP, as predicted by a mid-treatment PET scan, can have an improved outcome if switched to a standard salvage regimen R-ICE (rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide).

Objectives:

• To assess the efficacy of tailoring first-line therapy based on a mid- treatment PET scan result for patients with advanced stage DLBCL.

• To assess the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced stage DLBCL who have a negative mid-treatment PET scan and receive standard therapy with six cycles of CHOP-R and patients with a positive mid-treatment PET scan who receive four cycles of CHOP-R followed by four cycles of R-ICE chemotherapy.

• To assess the overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced stage DLBCL who have a negative mid-treatment PET scan and receive standard therapy with six cycles of CHOP-R and patients with a positive mid-treatment PET scan who receive four cycles of CHOP-R followed by four cycles of R-ICE chemotherapy.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with advanced stage DLBCL	Progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with advanced stage DLBCL who have a negative mid-treatment PET scan and receive standard therapy with six cycles of CHOP-R and patients with a positive mid-treatment PET scan who receive four cycles of CHOP-R followed by four cycles of R-ICE chemotherapy.; Progression-free survival is defined as the duration of time from diagnosis to time of disease progression or death from any cause. Living patients who have remained free of progression will have their PFS censored on the date last known alive.	Estimated two years
Secondary	Overall survival (OS) in participants with advanced stage DLBCL	Overall survival (OS) in participants with advanced stage DLBCL who have a negative mid-treatment PET scan and receive standard therapy with six cycles of CHOP-R and patients with a positive mid-treatment PET scan who receive four cycles of CHOP-R followed by four cycles of R-ICE chemotherapy.; Overall survival will be defined as the time from diagnosis to the date of death. If the participant is lost to follow-up, survival will be censored on the last date the participant was known to be alive.	Several years
Secondary	The safety of R-ICE therapy in first-line therapy of DLBCL following four cycles of R-CHOP as assessed using the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 3.0		Six months
Secondary	Investigate clinical and biologic markers that characterize participant heterogeneity and may serve as predictors of response to therapy and overall outcome.	A central pathology review of original diagnostic biopsies will be performed by pathologists at the Coordinating Center to ensure appropriate lymphoma subclassification. This centralized review is not required prior to enrollment, provided the patients biopsy has been carefully reviewed by local pathologists and determined to be DLBCL.; Correlative studies of biologic markers will be performed on cases with adequately preserved tissue to explore the biologic heterogeneity between patients and to investigate determinants of response to therapy.	1 year
Secondary	Efficacy of tailoring first-line therapy bases on a mid-treatment PET scan result for patients with advanced stage DLBCL	All patients will have their BEST RESPONSE on study classified as outlined below. For patients with more than six measurable lesions the six most distinctly measurable at diagnosis should be chosen for response assessment by CT scanning. If available, lesions from both above and below the diaphragm should be chosen, at least two from each region.	Four to six months
