Brief Title: Genes in Predicting Outcome of Patients With DLBCL Treated With Rituximab and Combination Chemotherapy (R-CHOP)
Official Title: Phase II Study to Establish Gene Expression Models Predicting Survival of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Patients Treated With R-CHOP
Study ID: NCT00450385
Brief Summary: The investigators hypothesize that survival of newly diagnosed DLBCL (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) patients treated with R-CHOP can be predicted by RNA or protein gene expression or by presence of biomarkers associated with the anti-tumor effects of Rituximab.
Detailed Description: In this phase II multi-institutional trial, the investigators will identify genes associated with either good or bad outcome in DLBCL patients treated with R-CHOP, will construct a robust predictive models based on RNA extracted from or paraffin specimens as well on immunohistochemistry and will examine the predictive power of new biomarkers associated with the anti-tumor effects of rituximab. The acquisition of fixed tissue as a component of this uniformly treated prospective study will also afford future studies with this informative dataset.
