Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are to better define the R2 efficacy and safety in terms of: - Complete Response Rate (CR), - Progression-Free Survival (PFS), - Overall Survival (OS), - Event-Free Survival (EFS), - Drop-out rate, - Rate of treatment discontinuation due to AE or treatment intolerance, - QoL assessement at baseline,4 months, 6 months and 12 months by EORTC-QLQ-C30 and FACT-Lym questionnaire. - Hematologic adverse events of any WHO grade (NCI CTCAE 4.03).;Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and the safety of the R2 (Lenalidomide + Rituximab) combination in first line DLBCL patients not candidate for the standard R-CHOP (or R-CHOP like) treatments due to frail status. The efficacy will be measured as overall response rate (ORR, defined as complete plus partial remission rate). The safety will be measured as rate of the extra-hematologic adverse events of WHO grade 3-4 (NCI CTCAE 4.03);Primary end point(s): Efficacy: overall response rate (ORR) Safety: clinical relevant toxicity, defined as the proportion of patients experiencing a grade 3 or greater non haematological toxicity. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Efficacy: 48 months safety: 48 months
