Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
We now propose to investigate the combination of CHOP-Rituxan plus PEG-Filgrastim (PEG-filgrastim) and GM-CSF. PEG-Filgrastim would be given in order to allow us to administer the chemotherapy courses every 2 weeks with the practical advantage of requiring only one dose of PEG-filgrastim instead of daily doses of G-CSF.

Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
1.1 Primary Objective:
- To identify the ideal dose of the combination of CHOP-R with PEG-Filgrastim (Neulasta) using first a fixed dose of Neulasta and an escalating dose of GM-CSF (Leukine) up to 250 mcg. When that dose is reached, if possible, the dose of Neulasta will be increased stepwise. CHOP-R will be delivered every 14 days at a fixed standard dose with dose adjustments of PEG-Filgrastim and GM-CSF upwards and downwards according to nadir or zenith blood counts.
1.2 Secondary Objective:
- To generate preliminary pilot data as to the effectiveness of the regimen in inducing very early remissions as measured by the CT-PET scan technique.
