6.Measurable disease
7. Written informed consent |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Patients with NK/T-NHL of the following type: Precursor T cell lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia All mature T cell leukemias (T-PLL, ATLL, NK cell leukemia, T-LGL) Alk-positive and negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma Blastic NK cell lymphoma Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, transformed or not HTLV1-positive adult T-cell leukemia
2. Concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical disease (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to the study, unstable and uncontrolled hypertension, chronic renal disease, or active uncontrolled infection), which could compromise participation in the study.
3. Known hypersensitivity to murine or chimeric antibodies or proteins
4. Severe cardiac dysfunction (NYHA classification II-IV) or LVEF < 45%
5. Significant renal dysfunction (serum creatinin > 2x UNL), unless related to NHL
6. Significant hepatic dysfunction (total bilirubin ³ 30 μmol/l or transaminases ³ 2.5 times normal level), unless related to NHL
7. Impaired pulmonary functions; in this case, the patient is to be excluded if the resultant pulmonary function test shows FEV1<50% or a diffusion capacity <50% of the reference values
8. Suspected or documented central nervous system involvement by NHL
9. Patients known to be HIV-positive
10. Patients with active, uncontrolled infections, especially known seropositivity for HCV or HbsAg
11. Patients with uncontrolled asthma or allergy, requiring systemic steroid treatment
12. Prior treatment with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy for this lymphoma, except local radiotherapy in case of extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type
13. History of active cancer during the past 5 years, except basal carcinoma of the skin or stage 0 cervical carcinoma
14. Unwillingness or inability to comply with the protocol |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The primary endpoint is the Event-free Survival (EFS). The EFS is defined by the time between day of randomization until one of the following events occurs, whichever comes first: • Disease progression during therapy • Relapse after achievement of CR/CRu • Institution of any additional unplanned anti-tumor treatment • Death due to any cause Patients who have not experienced an event at the time of analysis will be censored at the most recent date of disease assessment. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Efficacy: Overall Response Rate, Complete Remission and Partial Remission (ORR, CR, PR) after induction chemotherapy, ORR related to tumoral CD52 status, eligibility for ASCT after induction in the young population ( 60 years). Overall survival (OS). Progression-free Survival (PFS). Safety. Adherence to protocol. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Response will be formally evaluated in both arms after cycles 3 and 6 according to the criteria of response, or evaluated after last cycle if treatment stopped earlier. |
