StudyNPatient population/studyDHL/THL %TreatmentOutcome
Rosenwald et al14  2383: (MYC-R in 11%) DLBCL and HGBL/retrospective analysis of prospective and patient registry studies 5.8% R-CHOP MYC-R was associated with shorted PFS and OS; neg. prognostic impact of MYC-R only with BCL2 and/or BCL6 and an IG partner. 
Dunleavy et al15  53 MYC-R and aggressive B-cell lymphoma/prospective, single-arm, multicenter trial Approx 44%* had MYC-R (SH); 56% had DHL/THL DA-EPOCH-R 4-year EFS and OS were 71% and 77%. No difference for SH vs DHL/THL. 
Chamuleau et al29  82 MYC-R DLBCL/prospective, single-arm multicenter trial Approx 27%* had MYC-R (SH); 73% had DHL/THL R-CHOP + lenalidomide 2-year EFS and OS were 63% and 73%. 
Leppä et al17  139 DLBCL and high-IPI score/high-risk cohort/prospective, single-arm, multicenter trial 12% had DHL Dose-dense chemo (MTX/R-CHOEP-14, ARA C 5-year FFS and OS were 74% and 83%. No significant worse outcome for DHL group. 
McMillan et al16  111 DLBCL and IPI 3-5; 12% had HGBL/prospective study. 12% had DHL; FISH performed in approx. 50% R-CODOX-M/R-IVAC 2-year PFS and OS were 68% and 76%. No worse outcome for DHL. 
Laude et al18  160 All patients had HGBL/retrospective study 81% had DHL; 19% had THL R-CHOP vs intensive chemotherapy At 32 months, 2 and 4-year PFS were 40% and 28% for R-CHOP; 57% and 52% for intensive therapy.
