Study information

Primary study designInterventional
Study designRandomised controlled trial
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific titleA phase III trial comparing a cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine and prednisolone (CHOP) regimen to a mitoxantrone, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, bleomycin, vincristine and prednisolone (PMItCEBO) regimen with or without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in patients aged sixty years plus with non-hodgkin's lymphoma
Study acronymBNLI 60+
Study objectives1. To compare the efficacy of mitoxantrone, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, bleomycin, vincristine and prednisolone (PMitCEBO) and cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine and prednisolone (CHOP) using the study endpoints of overall survival, failure free-survival, disease specific survival, disease free survival, complete response (CR) rate, toxic death rate and toxicity
2. To compare the efficacy of the addition of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) using the endpoints of failure free survival, overall survival, disease specific survival, disease free survival, neutropenia, dose intensity in patient hospitalisation days, toxic death rates and antibiotic use
Ethics approval(s)Approved by the Human Research Ethics Committees of all participating centres (ref: 98/2/52)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedNon-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Intervention1. CHOP/G-CSF Regimen: chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine and prednisolone (CHOP), cycle repeated every 21 days for six to eight cycles plus G-CSF.
2. CHOP Regimen: chemotherapy with CHOP repeated every 21 days for six to eight cycles.
3. PMitCEBO/G-CSF Regimen: Chemotherapy with Mitoxantrone, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, bleomycin, vincristine and prednisolone (PMitCEBO), cycle repeated every 14 days for four to eight cycles plus G-CSF.
4. PMitCEBO Regimen: Chemotherapy MitCEBO, cycle repeated every 14 days for four to eight cycles.
