Time frame
Participants were followed for up to 10.2 years to determine their response on interim PET scans.

What was measured

PFS is the time interval from start of treatment to documented evidence of disease progression or death from any cause. Disease progression was assessed by positron emission tomography scans after 2 cycles (each cycle is 21 days + 7 days window) of therapy using the Deauville criteria. Deauville score of 4 or 5 is considered positive on interim PET scan while a Deauville score of 1 or 2 or 3 is considered negative. The outcomes of the Deauville score was compared to determine PET positive progression free survival.

Analysis population: 27 participants had no PET scan.

Groups in this outcome

Arm 1-Combination Chemo and Biological Therapy

Combination chemo and biological therapy Rituximab: 2 doses of rituximab every cycle: first dose on Day 1 and 2nd dose on Day 5 Filgrastim: Filgrastim day 6 until absolute neutrophil count (ANC) reaches 5000 after the nadir, every cycle Etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin hydrochloride (EPOCH): combination chemotherapy: EPOCH every 3 weeks for minimum of 3 cycles and max of 6 cycles
