Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: patient must have histological confirmation of the diagnodis of primary mediastinal diffuse large B cell lymphoma and have a dominant mass within the anterior mediastinum

Who may be able to join

  • Primary mediastinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, CD20 positive. Patients must have histological confirmation of the diagnosis, and in addition have a dominant mass within the anterior mediastinum.
  • No prior treatment of lymphoma. Patients may have received corticosteroids for up to 1 week for the relief of local compressive symptoms.
  • Any stage of disease.
  • Age at least 18 years.
  • Fit to receive chemotherapy with curative intent.
  • Able and willing to give informed consent, and to undergo staging including PET scanning
  • Willingness to comply with an appropriate contraceptive method in women of childbearing potential or men.

Who cannot join

  • Evidence of clinically significant cardiac disease, as defined by history of symptomatic ventricular arrhythmias, congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction within 12 months before study entry. Cardiac compromise due to local extension of lymphoma will not be an exclusion criterion in the absence of other cardiac disease.
  • Impairment of bone marrow function (WBC <3.0x109/L, ANC <1.5x109/L, PLT <100x109/L), unless due to involvement by lymphoma.
  • Major impairment of renal function (serum creatinine >2x upper normal) or liver function (ASAT/ALAT >2,5 upper normal, total bilirubin >2,5x upper normal), unless due to lymphoma involvement.
  • Known HIV infection. Patients will not be tested routinely.
  • Pregnant or lactating women.
  • Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Primary Mediastinal B-Cell Lymphoma, run by International Extranodal Lymphoma Study Group (IELSG) at 20 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in Italy, United Kingdom, Spain, Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

response rate on PET scanning following initial chemo-immunotherapy. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00944567, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Aug 2017.
