Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A phase II prospective, non-randomized study. The study aim is to evaluate the feasibility and activity of high-dose therapy with stem cell in elderly patients with aggressive lymphoma relapsed FIT or resistant to first line therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study aim is to evaluate the toxicity and activity of a therapeutic approach to high doses with support of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) in patients aged ≥ 65 and ≤75 years, chemosensitive relapsed or refractory to therapy first line in terms of event free survival (EFS) and treatment related mortality (TRM)
