Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To increase the complete response rate pretransplant in aggressive mantle cell lymphoma by intensified immunochemotherapy with rituximab, high dose Ara-C and dexamethasone. In the Nordic area only high risk patients (MIPI-B or MIPI) are included. The result in all patients will be compared to a historic control of corresponding patients in the Nordic MCL2 trial.;Secondary Objective: Time to treatment failure Progression free survival Overall survival Toxicity Evaluation of response with FDG-PET Evaluation of response with MRD Stem cell harvest yield Evaluation of biomarkers for biology and prediction of response and response duration To establish a biobank ;Primary end point(s): Complete remission pretransplant;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 15

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Over all survival Time to treatment failure Time to progression Evaluation of response with FDG-PET and MRD Stem cell harvest yield Evaluation of biomarkers for biology and prediction of response and response duration ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months to 5 years. FDG-PET evaluation week 15 and 3 months post transplant MRD evaluation Week 9 and 15 and 3, 6 months posttransplant and then every 6months to 5 years
