Study of CHOP + Campath for T-Cell, Null Cell, or Natural Killer (NK)-Cell Lymphoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Primary Objective:
- To determine the toxicity profile and tolerability of alemtuzumab (Campath) when administered in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) chemotherapy (C-CHOP) in patients with T-cell, null-cell and NK-cell lymphomas.
Secondary Objectives:
-
To evaluate response rate, overall survival, and disease-free survival in patients with T-cell, null-cell, and NK-cell lymphomas treated with Campath + CHOP chemotherapy.
-
To assess the incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation in patients with these lymphomas treated with the Campath + CHOP combination.
-
To determine features which might be predictive of resistance to treatment or predictive of relapse, including the absence of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked proteins.

Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

-
At least one site of measurable disease, 1.5 cm in diameter or greater
-
Age > or = 18 years
-
