Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Experimental: Romidepsin plus CHOP
Patients in experimental arm receive romidepsin plus CHOP (Ro-CHOP) administered in 3 week cycles for 6 cycles. Romidepsin is administered at a dose of 12 mg/m² IV on day 1 and day 8 every 3 weeks. |
Drug: Romidepsin + CHOP
Ro-CHOP administered in 3 week cycles for 6 cycles or until progression Romidepsin is administered at a dose of 12 mg/m² IV on day 1 and day 8 every 3 weeks. |
Active Comparator: Standard: CHOP
Patients in control Arm receive cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP) administered in 3 week cycles for 6 cycles.
