About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Primary CNS Lymphoma
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
RL-MPV + BBC/auto-HCT+ nivolumab
Rituximab, methotrexate (MTX), procarbazine, vincristine and lenalidomide (RL-MPV). The peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) harvest procedure will be performed after 2nd cycle of RL-MPV. High dose chemotherapy Busulfan, Thiotepa, and Cyclophosphamide. 3 months after auto-HSCT, maintenance therapy with nivolumab 3 mg/kg is started for 6 months every 2 weeks
