Summary

The aim of the trial is to test whether adding 6 injections of rituximab to standard "Lymphome malin B" LMB chemotherapy regimen improves the Event Free Survival (EFS) compared with LMB chemotherapy alone in children / adolescents with advanced stage B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) / B-Acute Leukemia (B-AL)(stage III and LDH \> Nx2, any stage IV or B-AL).

Conditions

  • B-cell Non Hodgkin Lymphoma
  • Mature B-cell Leukemia Burkitt-type

Interventions

DRUG

Vincristine, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, doxorubicin, cytarabine, ara-C

Prephase (COP) for all groups followed by: in group B: 4 courses: 2 COPADM + 2 CYM, with MTX 3g/m² in group C: 6 courses: 2 COPADM + 2 CYVE + 2 maintenance courses, with MTX 8g/m², in 4h in C1, in 24h in C3 (except the 1st course) and CNS positive patients receive additional IT before each CYVE courses and HDMTX between CYVE courses.

DRUG

Rituximab, Vincristine, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, doxorubicin, cytarabine, ara-C

LMB chemo as in the comparator arm Rituximab 375 mg/m² i.v.: 6 injections: two doses at 48h interval are given at D-2 and D1 of the 2 first courses (COPADM) and one dose at the beginning of the 2 following courses (CYM or CYVE).
