Inclution Criteria
Subjects must satisfy the following criteria to be enrolled in the study:
1. Histologically confirmed CD20+ DLBCL of the below World Health Organization
(WHO) sub-classifications as assessed by Central Pathology. In the rare case that local
and Central pathology disagree on diagnosis, and if ABC type is confirmed by Central
Pathology (inclusion criterion 2), then the subject may still be enrolled on the basis of a
local DLBCL diagnosis at investigator discretion. A retrospective adjudication will be
performed by a second Central Pathologist.
a. Not otherwise specified (NOS)
b. Associated with chronic inflammation
c. Epstein-Barr virus positive (EBV+) of the elderly
2. ABC type determined using a validated GEP assay performed on NanoString’s
nCounter® Dx Analysis System as assessed by Central Pathology. (ABC type subjects
are reported by the GEP assay as eligible for this inclusion criterion, whereas subjects
with an indeterminate, unclassifiable, or GCB type are not eligible).
3. Adequate lymph node or tumor biopsy specimen available for Central Pathology review
and GEP profiling by the NanoString nCounter® Dx Analysis System. A formalin fixed
paraffin embedded lymph node or tumor biopsy acquired by a surgical incision or
excision biopsy is strongly preferred. Core needle biopsy is allowed, and typically 3 – 4
passes embedded in two FFPE blocks are adequate for both local and Central Pathology
evaluation (one block for local and one block for Central Pathology). Other commonly
used devices (e.g. endoscopy forceps or grasp biopsy) are also acceptable provided they
yield an equivalent amount of tissue. Material from a fine needle aspiration is not
acceptable. If an archival specimen is not available or is not acceptable, a re-biopsy is
required prior to randomization.
4. Measurable disease on cross section imaging by CT that is at least 1.5 cm in the longest
diameter and measurable in two perpendicular dimensions.
5. Ann Arbor stage II-IV disease.
6. No prior treatment for DLBCL, except as allowed in Section 8.2.1.
7. Appropriate candidate for 6 cycles of R-CHOP21.
8. International Prognostic Index score of 2 or greater.
9. Performance status < 2 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale.
10. Must be between the ages of 18 and 80 years on the date of the informed consent
document signature. At the discretion of the investigator, subjects over 80 years may be
included if their ECOG performance status is ≤ 1; each of their individual organ system
scores is ≤ 2 using the Modified Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS) for co-morbitidy
(Salvi, 2008; Salvi, 2008a); and if they would otherwise be eligible for full-dose RCHOP per local practice.
11. Must fulfill the following laboratory requirements:
a. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500 cells/mm3
(1.5 x 109
/L) unless secondary to
bone marrow or spleen involvement by lymphoma as demonstrated by recent bone
marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy or splenomegaly, in this case the limit is
≥ 1,000 cells/mm3
(1.0 x 109
/L)
b. Platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm3 (75 x 109
/L) unless secondary to bone marrow or spleen
involvement by lymphoma as demonstrated by recent bone marrow aspiration and
bone marrow biopsy or splenomegaly, in this case the limit is ≥ 50,000/ mm3 (50 x
109
/L)
c. Hemoglobin ≥ 7.5 g/dL (4.7 mmol/L)
d. Serum aspartate transaminase (AST/SGOT) or alanine transaminase (ALT/SGPT) ≤
3.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN). In the case of documented liver involvement by
lymphoma, the requirement is ≤ 5.0 x ULN.
e. Serum total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dl (34 µmol/L). In the case of Gilberts Syndrome, or
documented liver or pancreatic involvement by lymphoma, the requirement is ≤ 5.0
mg/dl (86 µmol/L).
f. Calculated creatinine clearance (Cockcroft-Gault formula) of ≥ 30 mL/min
12. Understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent document prior to conducting study
assessments or procedures.
13. Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.
14. Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must:
a. Have two negative pregnancy tests as verified by the study doctor prior to starting
study therapy. She must agree to ongoing pregnancy testing during the course of the
study, and after end of study therapy. This applies even if the subject practices
complete abstinence1
from heterosexual contact.
b. Either commit to complete abstinence1
from heterosexual contact (which must be
reviewed on a monthly basis) or agree to use, and be able to comply with, effective
contraception without interruption, 28 days prior to starting study therapy, during the
study therapy (including dose interruptions), and for 12 months after discontinuation
of study therapy.
15. Male subjects must:
a. Practice complete abstinence1
or agree to use a condom during sexual contact with a
pregnant female or a female of childbearing potential while participating in the study,
during dose interruptions and for at least 28 days following investigational product
discontinuation, even if he has undergone a successful vasectomy.
b. Agree to not donate semen during investigational product therapy and for 28 days
after discontinuation of investigational product therapy.
16. All subjects must:
a. Have an understanding that the investigational product could have a potential
teratogenic risk.
b. Agree to abstain from donating blood while taking investigational product therapy
and for 28 days after discontinuation of investigational product therapy.
c. Agree not to share investigational product with another person.
d. Agree to be counseled about pregnancy precautions and risk of fetal exposure.
e. Females must agree to abstain from breastfeeding during study participation and for
at least 12 months after investigational product discontinuation.
