About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety Comparison Between R-CHOP/CHOP and Modified NHL-BFM-90 Regimens in Children and Adolescents With Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma

We compared the efficacy and safety of modified NHL-BFM-90 regimen and R-CHOP/CHOP regimen in pediatric (aged 0-14 years) and adolescent(aged 15-18 years)DLBCL patients in a single institution during a 20-year period. we compared the efficacy and safety of modified NHL-BFM-90 regimen and R-CHOP/CHOP regimen in pediatric (aged 0-14 years) and adolescent(aged 15-18 years)DLBCL patients in a single institution during a 20-year period. To our best knowledge, no reports have been previously published regarding the comparison.

Read the detailed description

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive lymphoma that accounts for approximately 10%-20% of pediatric and adolescent non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs).

The incidence increases with age, with 37% of NHLs patients being adolescents aged. Poor survival has been demonstrated in adolescents and young adults compared to children with DLBCL. However, the Associazione Italiana Ematologia Oncologia Pediatrica (AIEOP) LNH-97 study showed that age was not a poor prognostic factor in children and adolescents with Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and DLBCL. A conclusion as to whether adolescent age is an independent risk factor has not been reached.

At present, the preferred protocols for adolescent DLBCL patients have not been standardized. Adolescents with cancer have been designated as a vulnerable population, positioned between children and the adult population. Treatment strategies differ between adults and pediatric patients. The pediatric strategy for DLBCL was developed in parallel by the Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster (BFM) and French-American-British/Lymphomes Malins B (FAB/LMB) groups. The combination of rituximab plus Cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin, Vincristine, and Prednisone (R-CHOP) or R-CHOP-like chemotherapy regimens are the standard therapy for the treatment of adult patients with DLBCL. There is currently a lack of studies that have compared the treatment outcomes in adolescent patients with DLBCL who were administered pediatric or adult regimens. Hence, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors in DLBCL patients, especially the efficacy and safety of the pediatric regimen (modified NHL-BFM-90) and adult regimen (R-CHOP/CHOP), between pediatric and adolescent DLBCL patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma, run by Sun Yat-sen University.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 27 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

OS (time frame: through study completion, an average of 58 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 27 Jan 2021.
