Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To study the effectiveness of Rituximab based chemotherapy in children with mature B-NHL including event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS).Timepoint: The study will last for three years in which the treatment will be for 9 months and follow up for 36 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To document the use of Rituximab based chemotherapy in children with B NHL in India. To record the number of doses of Rituximab used & variation in use of number of doses of Rituximab & chemotherapy dose modifications by various centres in treatment of children with B NHL. 2. To estimate the incidence of infusion/ allergic/ anaphylactic reactions to Rituximab infusion. 3. To estimate the duration of myelosuppression in children with mature B-NHL treated with Rituximab + chemotherapy. 4. To estimate the incidence of infective complications including viral infections during & after treatment. 5. To estimate the incidence of organ dysfunction/ failure in children with B NHL treated with Rituximab + chemotherapy. Timepoint: The study will last for three years in which the treatment will be for 9 months & follow up for 36 months
