NCT00544219

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Studying PET scans given to patients with cancer who are undergoing treatment may help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying PET scans in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who are receiving rituximab together with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of CD20+ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)
  • Stage I-IV disease
  • All IPI risk groups
  • Must be positron emission tomography (PET)-positive
  • At least one measurable lesion ≥ 15 mm in its shortest axis (greatest transverse diameter) for jugulodigastric and infra-carinal lymph nodes with CT scan (MRI is allowed only if CT scan cannot be performed)
  • Otherwise the shortest axis (greatest transverse diameter) must be ≥ 10 mm
  • Lesions should be selected according to the following features:
  • Clearly measurable in two perpendicular dimensions
  • From as disparate regions of the body as possible
  • Include mediastinal and retroperitoneal areas of disease whenever these sites are involved

You may not qualify if:

  • Secondary DLBCL (in transformation)
  • Evidence of symptomatic CNS disease
  • PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
  • ECOG or WHO performance status 0-2
  • Cardiac ejection fraction ≥ 50% as assessed by echocardiography
  • Sufficient hematological values, hepatic and renal function
  • Patient condition, compliance, and geographic proximity must allow proper staging and completion of treatment and follow-up
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and for 12 months after completion of study therapy
  • Prior or concurrent hematological malignancies
  • Patients who have had prior solid organ tumors that required no treatment over the past 5 years and are currently disease-free are allowed
  • Unstable cardiac disease within the past 6 months
  • Any serious underlying medical condition (at the judgment of the investigator) that could impair the ability of the patient to participate in the study (e.g., active autoimmune disease, uncontrolled diabetes, HIV- and hepatitis-infection)
  • Known hypersensitivity to any component of the study drugs
  • +8 more criteria
