E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Investigate whether the PPV of FLT-PET/CT is significantly higher than that of FDG-PET/CT by following-up patients for at least 24 months post-therapy or until evidence of persistent disease or disease progression (whichever comes first). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Investigate whether the free survival events (EFS) of patients with FDG-PET/CT-positive and FLT-PET/CT- negative scans is not significantly lower than that of patients with concordantly negative FDG-PET/CT and FLT-PET/CT scans and, that the NPV of FLT-PET/CT is similar to that of FDG-PET/CT.
Correlate interim FLT-PET/CT and FDG-PET/CT with patient outcomes.

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• All patients must have a histologic or cytological diagnosis DLBCL (including lymphomas/leukemias that newly transformed into DLBLC ) and be scheduled or currently be receiving the first cycle of first line chemotherapy with : a) R-CHOP or R-EPOCH given every 21 days (R-CHOP-21 or R-EPOCH-21) which is taken for 4 weeks of their FDG-PET/CT and for 6 cycles or. b) R-CHOP given every 21 days (R-CHOP-21) within 8 weeks of their enrollment and for 8 cycles or c) R-CHOP-14 or R-EPOCH-14 (R-CHOP or R-EPOCH given every 14 days; between cycle 2 and 3 no CSF-administration for 21 days) within 6 weeks of their enrollment and for 6 cycles • Patients undergoing consolidative external radiotherapy at the end of all 6 cycles of R-CHOP or R-EPOCH are eligible. • Patients must be ≥18 years of age, but there will be no discrimination based on gender, race, creed, or ethnic background. • Patients must sign an informed consent, and be mentally responsible.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Subjects with significant concurrent medical complications that in the judgment of the Principal Investigator(s) could affect the patient's ability to complete the planned trial, including the multiple imaging studies. • Expected non-compliance • Patients unwilling or unable to give informed consent • Participation on another clinical trial within the last 3 months |
|
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint of the study protocol is the disease status of patients after a two year follow-up period after initiation of treatment i.e. the 2-year-progression-free survival [PFS]) , which is a period of about 22 months following 18F-FLT PET/CT imaging. This will allow for ample time to differentiate patients exhibiting progression free survival from those exhibiting disease progression and to correlate these two groups to the results of PET/CT imaging with FLT and FDG. In this patient population with aggressive lymphoma, disease progression will typically declare itself within 1.5 years and essentially 100% occurs after 24 months. Those that survive this period can be reasonably classified as having progression free survival. |
