Overview

This multi-agent immunochemotherapy regimen was developed and studied by the **University of Aarhus** for the treatment of newly diagnosed **primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL)**. The intensive induction phase combines the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody **rituximab** with several cytotoxic agents: high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX), high-dose cytarabine (HD-Ara C), cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, vincristine, vindesine, temozolomide, and intrathecal liposomal cytarabine (DepoCyte). This regimen is specifically designed to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and provide comprehensive coverage against CNS lymphoma cells without the use of whole-brain radiotherapy, thereby aiming to reduce long-term neurotoxicity while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. In elderly patients, the induction phase is followed by maintenance treatment with temozolomide.
