Trial Information

Rituximab + Standard CHOP (R・S-CHOP) vs Rituximab+ bi-Weekly CHOP (R・Bi-CHOP) RCT(Phase II/III) for Stage III/IV Low-Grade B-Cell Lymphoma (LowBNHL-RS/BiCHOP-P2/3) (JCOG0203)


Since currently there is no standard therapy for untreated advanced-stage low-grade B-cell
lymphoma, Phase 2/3 study was planned.
Comparison(s): An intensified bi-weekly version by shortening the intervals of
both rituximab and CHOP therapies using G-CSF, compared to the tri-weekly R-CHOP regimen.
