Dose-Reduced Consolidation Radiation Therapy in Patients With Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Radiation Therapy: This phase II study will evaluate whether a reduction in the RT dose, concomitant with a decrease in the RT field size, in patients that achieve complete response and have a negative post-chemotherapy PET scan following 3 to 6 cycles of rituximab containing chemotherapy, will be associated with a low risk of in-field failure. The goal of this approach is to maintain excellent control rates while minimizing the risk of acute and late toxicity.
Study summary
This phase II study will evaluate whether a reduction in radiation dose and field size will maintain a high rate of local control while minimizing the risk of acute and late toxicity .
Hypothesis: The radiation dose and treatment volume can be safely reduced from 30 Gy to 20 Gy while maintaining high rates of local control in patients who had a negative PET-CT scan following rituximab - containing chemotherapy.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Local Control Rate — 2 years
Local control rate defined as the proportion of participants with absence of disease recurrence within the radiation therapy field as measured by standard of care imaging obtained per the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines
