Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| During the 1st Pola-R-CHP therapy where untreated DLBCL patients are treated (for 6 cycles at most) followed by a 90-day safety assessment period, the following will be assessed for the overall population as well as by age group: - the incidence of adverse events related to bone marrow suppression (FN), G-CSF prophylactic administration, and the proportion or cumulative incidence of interventions (such as transfusions for anemia and thrombocytopenia), - calculation of the trend in the proportion of dose reductions of the medication (cyclophosphamide, polatuzumab vedotin, doxorubicin hydrochloride), - and estimation of the distributions of the number of days and frequency of hospitalization. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| First, in the R-CHOP group, the same items as in the Pola-R-CHP group will be evaluated. Next, for untreated DLBCL patients receiving 1st line Pola-R-CHP or R-CHOP treatment (up to 6 cycles) + a maximum follow-up period of 90 days, the following will be conducted for both the overall population and by age group: - estimation of the incidence of constipation, diarrhea, and PN requiring treatment, - and calculation of the frequency of the number and types of medications used in the treatment of constipation and PN. Furthermore, in each group or in the combined population, the following will be evaluated: - the temporal trend in the incidence of FN, - the proportion of days of prophylactic administration of G-CSF, - the distribution of days of primary prophylactic administration of G-CSF in the first cycle, - and the incidence of FN by age group and prophylaxis with G-CSF. | — |
