Trial Summary
This is a multicenter China-only study to investigate the PK, efficacy and safety of SC rituximab versus IV rituximab, both in combination with CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) in previously untreated participants with CD20 positive DLBCL. Participants will be randomized to receive eight cycles of rituximab SC or rituximab IV combined with six or eight cycles of standard CHOP chemotherapy. After the end of study treatment, participants will be followed-up every 3 months for 6 months.

- Contraindication to any of the individual components of CHOP, including prior receipt of anthracyclines
- Prior therapy for DLBCL, with the exception of nodal biopsy or local irradiation or surgery for diagnosis
- Prior treatment with cytotoxic drugs or rituximab for another condition (e.g.,rheumatoid arthritis) or prior use of an anti-CD20 antibody
- Current or recent treatment with another investigational drug or participation in another investigational therapeutic study
- Ongoing corticosteroid use (>30 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent)
- Primary CNS lymphoma, blastic variant of mantle cell lymphoma, or histologic evidence of transformation to a Burkitt lymphoma, primary mediastinal DLBCL, primary effusion lymphoma, and primary cutaneous DLBCL
- History of other malignancy that could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results
- Evidence of significant, uncontrolled concomitant diseases including but not limited to significant cardiovascular disease or pulmonary disease
