Summary

Within this exploratory multicohort phase II trial, SAKK aims to evaluate a PET/CT and ctDNA oriented therapy in DLBCL in order to test the following working hypothesis.

* acalabrutinib-R-CHOP may improve the progression free survival in genetically defined DLBCL harboring the MYD88 L265P and/or CD79A/B mutations;
* treatment escalation to acalabrutinib-R-CHOP in DLBCL patients who have positive PET/CT (with residual disease scored as Deauville score 4 or 5 with centrally defined response) and no molecular response (\<2log10 reduction of ctDNA) after two courses of R-CHOP could improve the anti-tumour activity of R-CHOP;
* treatment de-escalation to 4 total R-CHOP courses plus 2 rituximab single agent infusions does not compromise the outcome in patients lacking both MYD88 L265P and CD79A/B mutations and quickly obtaining both negative PET/CT (Deauville score 1-3) and molecular response (\>2log10 reduction of ctDNA) after two cycles of R-CHOP.
