This study looks at the effectiveness of early treatment intensification with R-ICE chemotherapy followed by high dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) if positive PET/CT, or a further 2 cycles of R-CHOP-14 if negative PET/CT in patients with lymphoma which is classified as CD20 positive diffuse large B cell type who have received an initial 4 cycles of R-CHOP-14 chemotherapy. Who is it for? You can join this study if you: have lymphoma which is CD20 positive d .... Read more

Min. age 18 Years
Max. age 70 Years
Sex Both males and females
Condition category Patients with CD20+ diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with low intermediate, high intermediate, or high risk disease or low risk disease with bulky tumour (> 7.5 cm) who are considered fit and eligible for high dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with Z-BEAM ( Zevalin - BEAM ( BCNU(BCNU is Carmustine), etoposide, ara-C (ara-C is Cytarabine), melphalan) and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
Condition code Cancer
Intervention code Treatment: Drugs , Treatment: Other
Patients will receive 4 cycles of R-CHOP (rituximab Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Prednisone administered every 14 days (R-CHOP-14) and supported with Pegfilgrastim. Cycle 5 of R-CHOP-14 will be delayed one week, and an interim PET/CT scan will be performed as close as possible (ie, day 17 to day 20) to the planned 5th cycle of R CHOP-14. Patients who have metabolically inactive disease (PET/CT-negative) will proceed to complete a further two cycles of R-CHOP-14 (total of 6 cycles) .... Read more
Control group Active
Active - PET+ patients recieve R-ICE and Z-BEAM Transplant. whereas the PET- patients will recieve R-CHOP chemotherapy only.
Outcome: Primary objective and endpoint: The primary objective is to demonstrate an absolute improvement of 25% in two-year progression-free survival (PFS) from 20% to 45% in those patients with advanced stage DLBCL who have been identified with a positive interim-treatment PET/CT scan and switched to early treatment intensification using R-ICE chemotherapy followed by HDCT/ASCT in comparison with historical outcomes. The primary endpoint for this trial is progression-free surv .... Read more

Data are potentially available to: • Researchers from not-for-profit organisations • Commercial organisations • Other Based in: • Any location Further information: All data requests will be considered by the primary sponsor on a case by case basis. Requests must include a methodologically sound proposal. Specific conditions of use may apply and will be specified in a data sharing agreement (or similar) that the requester must agree to before access is granted.
Any type of analysis Assessed on a case-by-case basis
To assist secondary data users in understanding the real-world impact of health and medical research data sharing, the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) has created an online guide that outlines a theoretical framework for four key data reuse scenarios. This practical guide was extracted from research papers, and consultation with stakeholders and the research community.
With Health Data Australia, researchers can explore descriptions of data from our publishing partners, identify relevant datasets, and request access. These requests will then be forwarded to the data owner for review.
