Summary

This study compares two treatment schedules for people with a common type of lymphoma (DLBCL) that is low-risk and not large. All participants first receive 4 cycles of standard chemo (R-CHOP). Those who respond well are then randomly assigned to get either 4 more doses of rituximab alone or 2 more cycles of R-CHOP plus 2 rituximab doses. The goal is to see if the shorter chemo approach works as well with fewer side effects. About 640 adults aged 14–75 are being recruited.
