Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Patients with NK/T-NHL of the following types are excluded: Precursor T cell lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia, All mature T cell leukemias (T-PLL, ATLL, NK cell leukemia, T-LGL), Alk-positive and negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma, Blastic NK cell lymphoma - Known hypersensitivity to murine or chimeric antibodies or proteins - Severe cardiac dysfunction (NYHA classification II-IV, Appendix H) or LVEF 2 times upper level), unless related to NHL - Significant hepatic dysfunction (total bilirubin ³ 30 mmol/l or transaminases ³ 2.5 times normal level), unless related to NHL - Impaired pulmonary functions; in this case, the patient is to be excluded if the resultant pulmoanry function test shows FEV1<50% or a diffusion capacity <50% of the reference values - Suspected or documented Central Nervous System involvement by NHL - Patients known to be HIV-positive - Patients with active, uncontrolled infections, especially known seropositivity for HCV or HbsAg - Patients with uncontrolled asthma or allergy, requiring steroid treatment - Prior treatment with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy for this lymphoma, except local radiotherapy in case of extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type - History of active cancer during the past 5 years, except basal carcinoma of the skin or stage 0 cervical carcinoma - Unwillingness or inability to comply with the protocol - Simultaneous participation in any other study protocol

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the effect of the addition af Mab Campath s.c. to 2 Weekly CHOP 14 ( Chemotherapy) in terms of event free survival (EVS).;Secondary Objective: To assess the effect of the addition of alemtuzumab s.c. to 6 courses of 2-weekly CHOP14 in term of overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response rates (ORR, i.e. CR/CRu/PR). Assessment of ORR means evaluating eligibility to autologous stem cell transplantation. To evaluate the safety of the addition of alemtuzumab s.c. combined with 2-weekly CHOP with respect to the incidence of severe opportunistic infections and infections due to neutropenia as well as the adherence to protocol as defined in ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the Event-free Survival (EFS). The EFS is defined by the time between day of randomization until one of the following events occurs, whichever comes first: · Disease progression during therapy · Institution of any additional unplanned anti-tumor treatment · Relapse after achievement of CR/CRu · Death due to any cause Patients who have not experienced an event at the time of analysis will be censored at the most recent date of disease assessment. | — |
