What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal radiation dose fractionation regimen for low grade follicular lymphoma.It is hypothesized that the complete response rate with the use of 12 Gy in 6 daily fractions is 80% (10% total width of the confidence interval) at 3 months.This phase II study will evaluate whether an intermediate dose for follicular lymphoma is associated with excellent response rates while minimizing acute and late toxicity.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults over 18 with low-grade (grade 1-2) follicular lymphoma that hasn't been treated with radiation before. It's for those who need radiation for local disease control, have non-bulky targets under 7cm, and can consent to treatment. Pregnant individuals or those on systemic therapy for lymphoma within the last 3 months are excluded.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

  • 12 Gy in 6 daily fractions
Trial Overview The study is testing a specific intermediate dose of radiation (12 Gy in 6 daily fractions) to see if it effectively treats follicular lymphoma while reducing both immediate and long-term side effects. The goal is an excellent response rate with minimal toxicity.
