Phase Ⅱ Trial of Temozolomide Plus Concurrent Whole-Brain Radiation Followed by TNV Regimen as Adjuvant Therapy for Patients With Newly Diagnosed Primary Central Nervous System (CNS) Lymphoma (PCNSL)


The best reported outcomes of PCNSL treatment are high-dose methotrexate-based chemotherapy
combined with whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT). Despite aggressive therapy, however,
nearly 50% of patients will relapse within 24 months of diagnosis. Furthermore, the
application of high-dose methotrexate-based regimen is complex, needing be hydrated,
alkalified and detoxified, and treatment-related toxicity mortality is severe[3,4]. In an
attempt to improve upon these poor results and reduce treatment-related side effects, we
will treat about 15-20 PCNSL patients with temozolomide concurrent chemoradiotherapy at the
outset and then adjuvant chemotherapy for 6 cycles with temozolomide, nedaplatin,
vincristine, as part of front-line therapy. Our objective is to assess our treatment
strategies' availability based on response rates, progression-free survival (PFS), median
PFS, and toxicity.
