E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Evaluate if a chemoimmunotherapy R-CHOP-14 or R-CHOP-21 +/- consolidation RT on positive PET-TC residual mass improves the prognosis in terms of 2years PFS in comparison to an historical population control treated with R-CHOP and RT on bulky disease independently of PET-TC evaluation. |
Valutare se una chemioimmunoterapia R-CHOP-14 o RCHOP- 21 +/- una radioterapia di consolidamento sulla massa residua PET-TC positiva determini un miglioramento della prognosi (PFS a due anni) rispetto ad un confronto storico in pazienti trattati con R-CHOP e radioterapia eseguita sulla malattia bulky indipendentemente dalla valutazione PET-TC. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of a consolidation RT involved-field on single residual PET-positive area after 6 R-CHOP-14 or R-CHOP-21 cycles in terms of overall response rate (ORR = complete + partial remission: CR +PR) improvement according to standard international response criteria (Cheson 2007); To evaluate the ORR after 4 and 6 R-CHOP-14 or R-CHOP-21 cycles; To explore the predictive role of the early PET after 2 R-CHOP-14 or R-CHOP-21 cycles in terms of 2-year PFS (descriptive analysis based on available data). |
Valutare l’efficacia di una radioterapia di consolidamento involved-field sulla sede unica di malattia residua positiva all’esame PET dopo 6 cicli di RCHOP-14 o R-CHOP-21 in termini di miglioramento della risposta clinica (risposta globale = parziale + completa sec criteri di Cheson et al 2007- v. allegato G); Valutare la percentuale di risposte globali dopo i primi 4 cicli e i 6 cicli totali di chemioterapia R-CHOP-14 o R-CHOP-21; Valutare il ruolo predittivo della PET precoce dopo 2 cicli in termini di FFS a due anni (analisi a carattere esplorativo sui casi raccolti). |
