Brief Summary

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

GA101-miniCHOP regimen for the treatment of elderly unfit patients with diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Detailed Description

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

Considering that the treatment of elderly unfit patients with DLBCL cannot be based on a full course of R-CHOP (Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Prednisone), and that using a less intense R-miniCHOP (an attenuated version of the standard R-CHOP: Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Prednisone) combination an acceptable cure rate can be achieved this study is designed to try to improve the cure rate in unfit patients with DLBCL (Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma) by adopting the R-miniCHOP scheme substituting Rituximab with the more active GA101 monoclonal antibody. The study hypothesis is that a higher activity of the treatment can be achieved without modifying the cytotoxic part of the treatment but using a more active immunotherapy. Differently from the previous experience with R-miniCHOP eligible patient are not only identified using anagraphic criteria but adopting CGA (Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment) as part of initial assessment and considering as eligible unfit patients.
