Dose-Reduced Consolidation Radiation Therapy in Patients With Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a reduction in the dose of consolidation radiation therapy (RT) in patients who achieve a negative post-chemotherapy PET-CT scan following 3 to 6 cycles of chemoimmunotherapy, will be associated with a low risk of in-field failure.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Histologic documentation of stage I-IV diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (DLBCL NOS), as defined by the 2016 WHO classification. This would include all entities within this category including germinal center B-cell and non-germinal center B-cell subtypes and those with a double expressor phenotype. Also eligible are stage I-IV high-grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements and high-grade B-cell lymphoma, NOS.
  • Completion of at least 3 cycles of a rituximab-containing, anthracycline-based combination chemotherapy regimen (R-CHOP preferred but not mandated).
  • Negative post-chemotherapy PET-CT scan or negative interim PET-CT scan performed within 2 weeks of the final cycle of chemoimmunotherapy. This is defined as a score of 1-3 on the PET Five Point (Deauville) Scale using the Modified Lugano Response Criteria for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
  • ANC ≥ 1000 and platelet count ≥ 40,000.
  • Negative serum pregnancy test in women of child-bearing potential within 24 hours of initiating RT.
  • Signed study-specific informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Primary central nervous system lymphoma, primary cutaneous DLBCL, leg type, T-cell/histiocyterich large B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma, or other distinct non-Hodgkin lymphomas arising from large B-cells included in the WHO classification.
  • Any absolute contraindications to irradiation.
