Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Prednisone, and Radiation Therapy Followed By Rituximab and Yttrium Y 90 Ibritumomab Tiuxetan in Treating Patients With Stage I or Stage II Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

S0313, NCT00070018

Objectives

  1. Determine the 2-year progression-free survival of patients with aggressive high-risk stage I or IE or non-bulky stage II or IIE CD20-positive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone and radiotherapy followed by rituximab and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan.
  2. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of 1 of the following subtypes:
    • Diffuse large B-cell
    • Mantle cell
    • High-grade B-cell, Burkitt's, or Burkitt-like
    • Anaplastic large cell (B-cell phenotype only)


  • Stage I, IE, or non-bulky* stage II or IIE disease by Ann Arbor classification
    • Patients who have bulky stage II or IIE disease are ineligible even if, after resection, the measurements are less than 10.0 cm

     [Note: *Non-bulky disease defined as any tumor measuring less than 10.0 cm or occupying less than 1/3 of the chest diameter]



  • CD20-expressing disease by flow cytometry or immunoperoxidase staining


  • Aggressive lymphomas must have at least 1 of the following adverse prognostic factors:
    • Non-bulky stage II or IIE disease
    • At least 60 years of age
    • Zubrod performance status of 2
    • Lactic dehydrogenase greater than upper limit of normal


  • All disease must be encompassable in a single radiation port (including any site of resected disease)


 [Note: A new classification scheme for adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been adopted by PDQ. The terminology of "indolent" or "aggressive" lymphoma will replace the former terminology of "low", "intermediate", or "high" grade lymphoma. However, this protocol uses the former terminology.]

  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • No other malignancy within the past 5 years except adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix
  • No medical contraindication to study chemotherapy, rituximab, or ibritumomab tiuxetan
  • No known AIDS syndrome or HIV-associated complex

Expected Enrollment

Toxicity

Outline

This is a multicenter study.

  • Chemotherapy: Patients receive CHOP chemotherapy comprising cyclophosphamide IV over 1-2 hours, doxorubicin IV, and vincristine IV on day 1 and oral prednisone on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.


  • Radiotherapy: Beginning 3 weeks after the completion of CHOP chemotherapy, patients undergo radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 4-5 weeks.


  • Monoclonal antibody therapy: Beginning 3-6 weeks after the completion of radiotherapy, patients receive rituximab IV followed by indium In 111 ibritumomab tiuxetan IV over 10 minutes on day 1. Patients then undergo whole body imaging. If ibritumomab tiuxetan biodistribution is acceptable, patients receive rituximab IV and yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan IV over 10 minutes on day 7, 8, OR 9.


Patients are followed every 6 months for 2 years and then annually thereafter.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
