Study Description

Brief Summary

About 60% of patients with DLBCL can be cured with a chemotherapy program. It is called RCHOP-21 (Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone). It is given once every 3 weeks, for 18 weeks. Each three weeks is a cycle. Some factors predict that you may not be cured with R-CHOP-21. The most common ones are:

  • Stage - how much DLBCL, PMBL, or FL3B you have

  • LDH - a blood chemistry marker; and

  • Whether you can do your normal daily activities. (performance status) We think that the best way to cure more patients with poor risk factors is to add new treatment to R-CHOP. You will get different chemotherapy after 4 cycles. This type of treatment is called risk-adapted therapy.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Consolidation A

Induction: RR-CHOP-14 Chemotherapy for Three Cycles Each cycle lasts approximately 14 days. A total of 3 cycles of RR-CHOP-14 will be given. One cycle of CHOP will follow. Patients whose disease is FDG-PET negative or patients whose FDG-PET scan is positive but repeat biopsy is negative and whose initial Ki-67 expression is < 80% will receive 3 cycles of standard dose ICE Chemotherapy.

Drug: Etoposide, carboplatin, ifosfamide
Patients in consolidation A will receive three drugs in a regimen called ICE. You will have 3 cycles. Each new cycle begins 2 to 3 weeks after the last one.

Experimental: Consolidation B

Induction: RR-CHOP-14 Chemotherapy for Three Cycles Each cycle lasts approximately 14 days. A total of 3 cycles of RR-CHOP-14 will be given. One cycle of CHOP will follow. Patients whose disease is FDG-PET negative or patients whose FDG-PET scan is positive but repeat biopsy is negative and whose initial Ki-67 expression is ≥80% will receive 2 cycles of augmented RICE Chemotherapy (as per MSKCC protocol 03-075).

Drug: Rituximab, Ifosfamide, Etoposide, Carboplatin
It consists of four drugs in a regimen called augmented RICE (augRICE). It is given every 3 weeks for 2 cycles.

Experimental: Consolidation C

Induction: RR-CHOP-14 Chemotherapy for Three Cycles Each cycle lasts approximately 14 days. A total of 3 cycles of RR-CHOP-14 will be given. One cycle of CHOP will follow. Consolidation C: Patients with biopsy proven disease after induction therapy. Patients whose bone marrow remain positive at interim restaging will have the option of getting an allogeneic[m3] stem cell transplant, in lieu of an ASCT, if they have an acceptable HLA match donor. The allogeneic[m4] stem cell transplant regimen will be decided by the MSK Bone Marrow Transplant Service.

Drug: Rituximab, Ifosfamide, Etoposide, Carboplatin, Stem Cell Collection, Mitoxantrone, Cyclophosphamide and etoposide, Carmustine
It consists of four drugs in a regimen called augRICE. It is given every 3 weeks for 2 cycles. After the rituximab on day 3, you will then be admitted to the hospital for 2 to 3 nights. Part 2: Stem Cell Collection, Part 3: High dose chemoradiotherapy and stem cell transplant. Your doctor may want you to get radiation therapy. If so, it will start 2 weeks before the highdose chemotherapy. This regimen is called CBV-N chemotherapy. It is given by vein in the hospital.
