Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Elderly patients (61-80 years) with newly diagnosed aggressive CD20+ B-NHL. All risk groups with good general condition (ECOG 0-2) without majour accompanying diseases after patient's information and written patient's informed consent Please note: only favourable patients (IPI = 1 (age)) without bulk can be included as recruitment goal for less favourable patients has been reached.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Patients with less favourable prognosis: 1:To test whether progression-free survival (PFS) can be improved by substituting conventional by liposomal vincristine; 2:To test whether PFS can be improved by 12 optimised applications instead of 8 2-week applications of rituximab Patients with favourable pro¬gnosis: 3:Comparison of neurotoxicity of conventional and liposomal vincristine; 4:Determination of PFS for the treatment strategy of reducing treatment in patients with negative FDG-PET after 4 x R-CHOP/CHLIP-14 (PET-4) and comparison with the corresponding patient population in RICOVER-60. ;Secondary Objective: Comparison of the efficacy and toxicity of the individualised (post-induction therapy FDG-PET-based) treatment strategy in OPTIMAL>60 with the fixed (pre-defined) treatment strategy in RICOVER-60. Estimation of the vincristine related neurotoxicity (less favourable patients only) and other toxicities in the favourable and less favourable group Determination of the therapeutic efficacy of a vitamin D substitution comparing the first cohort of patients without vitamin D substitution with those patients who receive a vitamin D substitution. This shall be investigated for Vit D levels at baseline and longitudinally according to substitution and gender Comparison of the vincristine related neurotoxicity before and after amendment Comparison of CNS events before and after amendment #4 including toxicity For further secondary objectives, please refer to chapter 16.1 of the protocol;Primary end point(s): Progression free survival. PFS is defined by the time between the day of randomisation until one of the following events occurs, whichever comes first: -Disease progression (PD) -Relapse after achieving CR -Progression after PR, NC or unknown -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 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point:

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): for efficacy: rate of complete remissions (CR rate), rate of partial responses (PR rate), rate of primary progressions, relapse rate, event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS); rate and CTC grades of polyneuropathy. Prognostic value of the FDG-PET derived imaging biomarkers for lymphoma load: SUV (standardized uptake value), SUR (standardized uptake ratio), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), SUR-derived TLG (TLGSUR). Different reference pathology biomarkers from tumor tissue and circulating tumor DNA in the plasma for detailed information cf chapter 4.3.1;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: for efficacy and FDG-PET derived Imaging biomarkers: during the restagings and the follow-up assessments as planned in the protocol (cf. chapter 8.11 of the protocol). The incidence and rates of polyneuropathy will additionally be assessed before each cycle of chemotherapy. Assessment of ctDNA: before each cycle of CHOP/CHLIP, at restaging after completion of therapy, and at each follow-up during the first two years after the end of treatment.
