Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the conversion rate from PET-positive to PET-negative residual masses after 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan treatment in patients with PET-positive partial remission following first-line R-CHOP chemotherapy.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the progression-free survival, the overall survival (OS) and the toxicity of DLBCL-patients with PET-positive partial remission treated with 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan.;Primary end point(s): Complete response on FDG-PET (i.e. PET-negative residual masses)
