Multicenter phase II study of moderate low-dose radiotherapy in indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma: CLCG-iNHL-01 protocol

Abstract

Background: Radiotherapy is an effective treatment for indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL); however, the optimal radiotherapy dose remains to be determined. We hypothesize that a suitable dose may exist between 4 and 24 Gy. Methods: This prospective multicenter phase II trial intends to recruit 73 sites of iNHL patients, who will receive involved-site radiotherapy of 12 Gy in four fractions. The primary objective is the 6-month clinical complete response rate. Tumor tissue, blood and conjunctival specimens will be collected to identify potential predictive biomarkers. Discussion: The CLCG-iNHL-01 trial will evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of 12 Gy in patients with iNHL and provide information on a novel hypofractionation regimen of low-dose radiotherapy.
