Brief Summary

DSHNHL R3 is a randomized clinical phase II study. The main objective is to estimate the efficacy of rituximab as a prophylactic medication for prevention of graft-versus-host-disease after allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplantation in patients with a high risk relapse of aggressive B-cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The most important secondary objective is to estimate the efficacy of allogeneic stem cell transplantation in this clinical situation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The specific measure that will be used to determine the effect of the intervention(s) or, for observational studies, related to core objectives of the study and receiving the most emphasis in assessment. (a) rate of acute GVHD grade II-IV after one year

    One year after allogeneic stem cell transplantation

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • progression free survival, progression rate, non-relapse mortality, rate of grade 3-4 infectious adverse event, chronic GVHD

    one and three years after allogeneic SZT

Study Arms (2)

A

OTHER

Patients receiving no rituximab as GVHD prophylaxis after allogeneic SZT and only standard GVHD prophylaxis (tacrolimus with aimed serum level of 10 ng / ml and mycophenolat mofetil 2 x 1 g p.o. day 1 to 28 after allogeneic SZT

Drug: standard GVHD prophylaxis

B

EXPERIMENTAL

rituximab in addition to standard GVHD prophylaxis

Drug: rituximab

Interventions

Application of tacrolimus from day -1 with a goal of tacrolimus serum concentration of 10 ng / ml Aplication of mycophenolat mofetil from day +1 to day +28 in a dose of 2 x 1g per day

A

Patients receiving 375 mg/ m2 of rituximab at weeks 3, 4, 5, 6, 25, 26, 27, 28 after allogeneic stem cell transplantation in addition to standard GVHD prophylaxis (tacrolimus with aimed serum level of 10 ng / ml and mycophenolat mofetil 2 x 1 g p.o. day 1 to 28 after allogeneic SZT

B
