| Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and the safety of R_GEMOX in refractory/relapsed patient with CD20 positive large B-cell lymphoma non eligible for autologous transplantation;Primary end point(s): Overall Response Rate (ORR) (Complete Response, CR; Unconfirmed Complete Response, CRu and Partial Response, PR) at the end of 4 cycles of R-GEMOX;Secondary Objective: Overall Response Rate (ORR) at the completion of the treatment (8 cycles of R-GEMOX) Event Free Survival (EFS) at 2 years: events being death from any cause, relapsed for complete responders and unconfirmed complete responders, progression during and after treatment, institution a new treatment. Safety of R-GEMOX in this patient population Overall survival, Time of progression, Disease-free survival for CR | — |
