Clinical study trying to answer the question if preventive treatment (prophylaxis) will lower the number of relapses (returns of the disease) in central nervous system in one of the aggressive form of lymph node cancer. The study is being performed in several centres, data will be collective prospectively and patients will be distributed to treatment groups by chance.

Study evaluating relapses in central nervous system in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with chemotherapy with or without CNS prophylaxis. Multicentric, prospective randomized phase III study - CNS relapse prophylaxis in DLBCL

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Comparison of cumulative incidence of CNS relapses in patients treated with 2 doses of intravenous methotrexate 3g/m2 (arm A) or 6 doses of intrathecal methotrexate 12mg (arm B). ;Secondary Objective: - Evaluation and comparison of overall, survival (OS) in patients treated with 2 doses of intravenous methotrexate, 6 doses of intrathecal methotrexate and in patients without CNS prophylaxis. - Evaluation of overall response rate (ORR),complete remission rate (CRR) in all three arms of the study (A, B, C), analysis of treatment toxicity. - Evaluation of progression-free survival (PFS) in CNS and outside of CNS in all risk groups (low, intermediate and high risk). - Evaluation of definition of occult meningeal involvement: cumulative incidence of CNS relapses in subgroups with occult meningeal involvement. ;Primary end point(s): Comparison of cumulative incidence of CNS relapses in patients treated either with methotrexate 3g/m2 i.v. or 6 doses of intrathecal methotrexate 12mg.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 year after end of treatment.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Complete remissions and partial remissions – will be evaluated according to PET/CT-Cheson criteria (49). Overall survival (OS) is defined as period between the date from diagnosis until date of death due to any reason. 2. Evaluation of definition of occult meningeal involvement: cumulative incidence of CNS relapses in subgroups with occult meningeal involvement: a/occult FCM positivity and concomitant CSF cytology negative; b/FCM negative and concomitant occult positivity of CSF cytology; 3. Validtion of clinical predictive risk model ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 year after end of treatment
