A Randomized Phase III Study to Compare Conventional Chemotherapy (CHOEP-14) + Rituximab vs High-Dose Chemotherapy Followed by Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (Mega-CHOEP-21) + Rituximab in Younger Patients With Aggressive NHL
This study compares aggressive conventional therapy (8 courses of rituximab plus CHOEP given
every 2 weeks) with repetitive high-dose therapy (Mega-CHOEP) supplemented with rituximab.
The study question is whether overall survival or progression-free survival is better with
high-dose therapy than with conventional treatment.
