Tailored Prednisone Reduction in Preventing Hyperglycemia in Participants With B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Receiving Combination Chemotherapy Treatment (NCT03505762)

A Randomized Phase II Pilot of Tailored Prednisone Reduction Versus Usual Care for the Treatment of Hyperglycemia During R-CHOP Chemotherapy

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Wake Forest University Health Sciences

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase II trial studies how well tailored prednisone reduction works in preventing hyperglycemia in participants with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma receiving combination chemotherapy treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Reductions in prednisone dose may lower blood sugar levels.
