Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Inadequate renal function or creatinine clearance 2 * ULN (total) except patients with Gilbert’s syndrome as defined by > 80% unconjugated. • Inadequate hematological function ANC < 1x109/l and platelets < 75x109 /l unless lymphoma related. • Female subject of child-bearing potential not willing to use an acceptable method of birth control (i.e., a hormonal contraceptive, intra-uterine device, diaphragm with spermicide, condom with spermicide, or abstinence) for the duration of the study and one year beyond treatment completion. • Female subject pregnant or breast-feeding. • Male subject unwilling to use an acceptable method for contraception for the duration of the study and one year beyond treatment completion. • History of a prior invasive malignancy in past 5 years. • Active symptomatic ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, or congestive heart failure within the past year.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • Determine efficacy, defined as PFS and OS at 2 years of risk-adaptive DA-EPOCH-R in newly diagnosed Burkitt lymphoma patients 18-75 years. • Determine feasibility, defined as > 60% of cycles of the DA-EPOCH-R scheme on an outpatient-clinic basis;Secondary Objective: • Assess predictive value of early FDG-PET/CT scans on PFS in BL.;Primary end point(s): • 2 years overall survival (OS; time from registration. Patients still alive or lost to follow up are censored at the date they were last known to be alive) and progression free survival (PFS; i.e. time from registration to progression or death from any cause, whichever comes first). • Number of cycles of the DA-EPOCH-R scheme completed on an out-patient –clinic basis;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Concerning OS and PFS, a sufficient number of events will have occurred 2 years after end of the recruitment period which is expected to take about 3 years. Concerning the number of cycles evaluation will take place 18 weeks after last patient included.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • predictive value of low dose PET/CT scan after 2 cycles of DA-EPOCH-R on OS and PFS;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Concerning the predictive value of PET/CTscan after 2 cycles, a sufficient number of events will have occurred 2 years after end of the recruitment period which is expected to take about 3 years.
