Clinical Trial Summary

Objective of this trial is to establish the efficacy of an upfront targeted therapy consisting of Chlamydophila psittaci (Cp)-eradicating therapy with prolonged administration of doxycycline followed by eradication monitoring and antibiotic re-treatment at infection re-occurrence in patients with newly diagnosed ocular adnexae marginal zone lymphoma The primary endpoint is the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with newly diagnosed stage-IE lymphoma treated with the experimental strategy.

Intervention

Drug:
Doxycycline
All enrolled patients will be treated with doxycycline 100 mg bid daily, orally, for four weeks followed by four weeks rest, repeated for three cycles. Response will be assessed by MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and ophthalmologic examination at the end of the planned treatment. Patients who will achieve complete response, partial response or have a stable disease at 3 months from upfront doxycycline will be monitored for infection re-occurrence and assessed for response with MRI and ophthalmologist evaluation every six months for the first five years.
