Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate effectiveness of a Novel Oral metronomic chemotherapy in relapsed/refractory lymphoma, and in patients who are unfit for full dose treatment at the time of diagnosis. This effectiveness will be evaluated by comparing the lymphoma stage via Pet scan or CECT at baseline and after 3 months.Timepoint: At Baseline and 3 months post therapy

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare change in QOL before and after starting metronomic chemotherapyTimepoint: 3 months;To compare this new regimen with historical patients treated with existing PEPC (Prednisolone/ Etoposide/ Procarbazine/ Cyclophosphamide ) metronomic regimenTimepoint: 3 months;To evaluate tolerability and drug compliance of Oral metronomic chemotherapy in lymphoma patientsTimepoint: 3 months
