• creatinin clearance < 10 ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault)
• total bilirubin > 3 mg/dl
• Uncontrollable diabetes mellitus (prephase treatment with prednisolone!)
• Platelets <100 000/mm3, leukocytes <2500/mm3 (if not due to lymphoma)
• Known hypersensitivity to the medications to be used
• HIV-positivity
• Acute or chronic active hepatitis
• Poor patient compliance
• Simultaneous participation in other treatment studies
• Prior chemo- or radiotherapy, long-term use of systemic corticosteroids or anti-neoplastic drugs for previous disorder
• Other concomitant tumour disease and/or tumour disease in the past 5 years (except basalioma of the skin and carcinoma in situ)
• CNS involvement of lymphoma (intracerebral, meningeal, intraspinal)
• Active serious infections not controlled by oral or intravenous antibiotics or anti-fungal
• Any medical condition which in the opinion of the investigator places the subject at an unacceptably high risk.
• Non-conformity to eligibility criteria.
