A clinical trial to test a less toxic treatment for children with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma

INTER-B-NHL 2025 is a clinical trial aimed at reducing the treatment toxicity for children with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The study will test whether some patients can safely receive a lower dose of chemotherapy, which is very aggressive, by replacing it with immunotherapy (rituximab), in order to lessen both short- and long-term side effects while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness. B-cell lymphomas already have high survival rates — but the price is a harsh and toxic treatment. The focus is now on improving quality of life. Using genomic sequencing, across 300 participants, patients will be “stratified” into risk groups to personalise their treatment. The study will also evaluate how treatment impacts the patients’ well-being, using a digital quality-of-life tool.
