A study comparing efficacy of subcutaneous (SC) rituximab and intravenous (IV) rituximab both in combination with CHOP (R-CHOP) in previously untreated patients with CD20 positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

A COMPARATIVE, RANDOMIZED, PARALLEL-GROUP, MULTI-CENTRE, PHASE IIIB STUDY TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFICACY OF SUBCUTANEOUS (SC) RITUXIMAB VERSUS INTRAVENOUS (IV) RITUXIMAB BOTH IN COMBINATION WITH CHOP (R-CHOP) IN PREVIOUSLY UNTREATED PATIENTS WITH CD20 POSITIVE DIFFUSE LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA (DLBCL).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To estimate the efficacy in each treatment arm, as measured by complete response (CR) rate 4?8 weeks after the end of treatment.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of CR/CRu (measured from the day of first rituximab induction dose) will be based on the Investigator?s assessment, completed according to the International Working Group response criteria (Cheson et al. 1999) at the end of induction treatment.;Secondary Objective: ? To compare patient satisfaction with rituximab administration (SC versus IV) in patients with DLBCL ? To evaluate event-free survival, disease-free survival, progression-free survival and overall survival from randomisation (at least 24 months of follow-up) ? To evaluate the safety of rituximab (SC versus IV) in patients with DLBCL.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary analysis of response rate will take place when all patients have completed their induction treatment.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Event-free survival, disease-free survival, progression-free survival and overall survival (EFS, DFS, PFS and OS), patient reported outcomes, administration times and a summary of safety data.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: A preliminary analysis will be performed when all patients have completed their induction treatment. The final analysis of secondary efficacy endpoints (EFS, DFS, PFS and OS) will be provided when the last patient has completed at least 24 months of follow-up after the end of induction treatment, or when one of the following has been documented for all randomized patients: disease recurrence, withdrawal from the study, loss to follow up or death, whichever occurs first.
