Study aim
-
Determining and comparing the therapeutic results of different chemotherapy regimens before autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with resistant/relapsed lymphoma.
-
Design
-
Clinical trial, with parallel groups, without blinding, non-randomized, phase 2 on 44 patients.
-
Settings and conduct
-
In this non-blinded, non-randomized clinical trial study, 44 patients with resistant/relapsed lymphoma, referring to Omid Hospital in Isfahan, were enrolled in 2 groups. In two groups, heavy conditioning will be done under two chemotherapy regimens. Then patients undergo autologous stem cell transplantation. After Engraft, the patient is discharged. Then the transplant complications and the possibility of disease recurrence will be evaluated in two ways.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria: being over 18 years old, having Hodgkin's/Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma resistant/relapsed and consenting to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria include patients who do not have suitable stem cells for transplantation during the initial stages of stem cell transplantation.
-
Intervention groups
-
First intervention group: First, the patient undergoes mobilization. Then the stem cells are separated from the peripheral blood. At this stage, the patient is treated with heavy conditioning chemotherapy including Etoposide, ARAC, Melphalan and Carboplatin.
Second intervention group: First, the patient undergoes mobilization. Then the stem cells are separated from the peripheral blood. At this stage, the patient is treated with heavy conditioning chemotherapy including Etoposide, ARAC, Melphalan and CCNU.
