Clinical Trial to Evaluate R-COMP Versus R-CHOP in Newly Diagnosed Patients With Non-localised Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)/Follicular Lymphoma Grade IIIb

Summary

The Phase II study proposed here assesses the hypothesis that replacing doxorubicin by Myocet® in the R-CHOP regimen would yield comparable antitumour efficacy with a lower cardiotoxicity for first-line treatment in elderly patients with non-localised DLBCL/Follicular lymphoma grade IIIb
