Brief summary

This is a double-center, single-arm, phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of R-CDOP regimen combined with intrathecal methotrexate in chemo-naive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients with high-risk of CNS relapse.

Detailed description

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, accounting for 31% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. At present, the standard treatment is R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) Regimen. In DLBCL, central nervous system recurrence is rare, but once it occurs, it is often fatal. The prognosis of patients with central recurrence of DLBCL is very poor, and the median survival time is only 3.5-7 months.The CNS relapse rate of the R-CHOP regimen combined with MTX (methotrexate) intrathecal in high CNS-IPI DLBCL patients is approximately 12%. This study was a phase II, prospective, single arm,double-center study, which requires a total of 83 DLBCL patients with high-risk of CNS relapse. Patients will receive a total of 6-8 cycles of R-CDOP regimen, repeated every 3 weeks. Intrathecal MTX will be administered after the 1st-5th cycle of chemotherapy. All the patients will receive a mid-treatment PET scan after 4 cycles of chemotherapy. Patient achieves CR (complete response) after 4 cycles will continue to receive another 2 cycles of treatment. For those who achieve PR, another 4 cycles of chemotherapy will given.

Inclusion criteria

1. Age range from 18 to 75 years; 2. ECOG performance status: 0-2; 3. Histopathologically confirmed untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (cell origin can be distinguished according to Hans algorithm) , And fulfilled the following criteria for high-risk CNS recurrence: 1. CNS-IPI 4-6; 2. The lymphoma involved testis, breast (excluding unilateral breast and less than 5 cm mass), adrenal gland, kidney, paranasal sinus, paravertebral, and bone marrow and other sites; 3. PCLBCL-leg; 4. Subjects have at least one measurable lesion: the long axis of the lymph node shall be\>1.5 cm, the long axis of the extranodal lesions shall be\>1.0 cm; 5. Bone marrow hematopoiesis was essentially normal: WBC≥3.5 ×10\^9/L, ANC≥1.5×10\^9/L, PLT≥80×10\^9/L, Hb≥90 g/L. Abnormal peripheral blood indices, as a result of lymphoma invading the bone marrow or spleen, permitted enrollment at the discretion of the investigator; 6. Liver function: total bilirubin, ALT, AST \< 1.5×UNL (upper limit of normal); 7. Renal function: Cr \< 1.5×UNL and creatinine clearance≥30 ml/min; 8. Echocardiography or nuclide cardiac function testing with LVEF≥50%; 9. Patients in the reproductive period agreed to appropriate contraception. Women in the reproductive period had a negative serum pregnancy test within 2 weeks before enrollment; 10. Consent to provide pathological tissue specimens (wax blocks within half a year or 20 slides for paraffin tissue sections); 11. Life expectancy≥3 months; 12. Signed informed consent;

Exclusion criteria

1. Patients with a known history of severe allergy to humanized or murine mAbs, or any contraindication to R-CDOP, intrathecal MTX; 2. Patients with evidence of CNS involvement (baseline cerebrospinal fluid, imaging, symptoms); 3. Special types of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients who are not suitable for induction therapy with R-CDOP, such as PMBCL, double-hit large B-cell lymphoma, etc; 4. Clinically significant cardiac conditions, including severe cardiac insufficiency: New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac insufficiency class IV, unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to screening, congestive heart failure, and Q-Tc interval greater than 500 ms; 5. Those who had a second degree or greater operation within three weeks before treatment; 6. Diagnosed with a malignancy other than lymphoma or under treatment, with the following exceptions: 1. Had received treatment with curative intent and had not developed malignancy with known active disease ≥ 5 years prior to enrollment; 2. Basal cell carcinoma of the skin (other than melanoma) that has been adequately treated with no evidence of disease; 3. Carcinoma in situ of the cervix that has been adequately treated with no evidence of disease; 7. Had significant coagulation abnormalities; 8. Any previous antilymphoma therapy other than short-term corticosteroids (up to 10 days); 9. Those with severe active infection; 10. Other serious, uncontrolled concomitant conditions that may affect protocol adherence or interfere with interpretation of results include uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, or pulmonary disease (interstitial pneumonia, obstructive pulmonary disease, and a history of symptomatic bronchospasm), hypertension, and others; 11. HBV (HBsAg positive and HBV-DNA ≥ 104 IU / ml), HCV (HCV antibody positive and HCV-RNA measurable); And subjects with other acquired, congenital immunodeficiency diseases, including but not limited to those with HIV infection; 12. Pregnant or lactating women;

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
2-year central nervous system relapse rateup to 6 years after the start of the studyThe proportion of patients with central nervous system recurrence within two years from enrollment accounted for all patients treated with drugs.
Concentration of doxorubicin in cerebrospinal fluid after using doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome injectionup to 4 years after the start of the studyCSF doxorubicin concentrations 24 hours after the first 5 courses of lipso-doxorubicin infusion will be tested. Peak concentration of doxorubicin in CSF will be recorded, and the area under the curve will be calculated.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective response rate (ORR)2 years after enrollment of final patientObjective response rate measured as number of complete and partial response divided by the number of patients included.

Overall Survival (OS)2 years after enrollment of final patientTime from the date of enrollment to data of death from any cause, or date of lost follow-up, whichever comes first, and otherwise censored at time last known alive.
