Patients treated for DLBCL are at high risk of developing AICD. This adverse event is characterized by irreversible damage to the heart muscle with a loss of cardiomyocytes and subsequent decline in cardiac pumping capacity. Thereby patients treated for this malignancy are at double the risk of developing symptomatic heart failure / cardiomyopathy when compared to the general population. This corresponds to a cumulative incidence of 5-10% within 5-years after receiving R-CHOP. In the elderly, an incidence of 26% has been reported after 8-years of follow-up. Among patients who die in complete remission, heart failure has been described to be one of the most important causes of death. ANTICIPATE aims to evaluate if dexrazoxane can prevent AICD in DLBCL patients and identify those at highest risk of AICD. Of all patients treated with anthracyclines in a first-line setting, DLBCL patients were chosen for this trial for two primary reasons. Firstly, these patients have a favourable oncological prognosis with a 5-year relative survival in the Netherlands of 64-78% in those aged 18-74 years increasing the importance of preventing long-term toxicity. Secondly, the cumulative anthracycline dose used for the treatment of DLBCL is higher than the dose used in breast cancer. The cumulative anthracycline dose is the most important risk factor for AICD known.

This trial is to evaluate if dexrazoxane is safer and more effective than liposomal doxorubicin in preventing heart failure events in participants with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) undergoing either standard of care R-CHOP or pola-R-CHP treatment regiments. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: * Dexrazoxane (a type of Topoisomerase II Inhibitor) * Liposomal Doxorubicin (a type of Topoisomerase II Inhibitor) * Standard of care R-CHOP treatment regimen (Cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone, rituximab) * Standard of care pola-R-CHP treatment regimen: Cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, polatuzumab vedotin-piiq, prednisone, rituximab
