A Phase II Single Arm Study of the Use of CODOX-M/IVAC With Rituximab (R-CODOX-M/IVAC) in the Treatment of Patients With Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (International Prognostic Index High or High-Intermediate Risk)
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the complete response rate in patients with high- or high/intermediate-risk
diffuse large B-cell lymphoma treated with CODOX-M/IVAC comprising cyclophosphamide,
doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, methotrexate, ifosfamide, etoposide
phosphate, and cytarabine with rituximab.
Secondary
- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine the progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive rituximab IV on days 1 and 11 and CODOX-M comprising doxorubicin
hydrochloride IV on day 1, cyclophosphamide IV on days 1-5, vincristine sulfate IV on days 1
and 8, methotrexate IV over 12 hours on day 10, and leucovorin calcium IV or orally every
3-6 hours beginning 24-36 hours after methotrexate. Patients also receive CNS prophylaxis
comprising cytarabine intrathecally (IT) on days 1 and 3 and methotrexate IT on day 15.
Patients with high-risk disease receive an additional dose of cytarabine IT on day 5 and
methotrexate IT on day 17. Patients also receive pegfilgrastim subcutaneously (SC) on day
11. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of CODOX-M course 1, patients receive rituximab IV on day 1** and IVAC
comprising etoposide phosphate IV over 1 hour and ifosfamide IV over 1 hour on days 1-5,
cytarabine IV over 3 hours (every 12 hours) on days 1 and 2, and methotrexate IT on day 5.
Patients with high-risk disease receive cytarabine IT on days 7 and 9. Patients also receive
pegfilgrastim SC on day 7. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
NOTE: **Patients with high-risk disease also receive rituximab IV on days 21 and 42 after
day 1 of course 4 (IVAC).
Treatment with R-CODOX-M and R-IVAC repeats every 28 days alternatively for 2 courses each
in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up periodically.
