RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Biological therapies, such as thalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy and thalidomide may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy followed by thalidomide works in treating patients with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma.

Official Title: | Phase II Study of Rituximab in Combination With Methotrexate, Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamide, Leucovorin, Vincristine, Ifosfamide, Etoposide, Cytarabine and Mesna (Maclo/Ivam) in Patients With Previously Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma |
Estimated Enrollment: | 22 |
Study Start Date: | April 2004 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | December 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
Secondary
OUTLINE: Patients receive rituximab IV and doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 3-5 minutes on day 1, vincristine IV on days 1 and 8, cyclophosphamide IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5, methotrexate IV over 24 hours on day 10, and leucovorin calcium IV every 6 hours beginning on day 11 and continuing until the level of methotrexate in the blood is within a safe range. Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) once daily beginning on day 13 and continuing until blood counts recover. When absolute neutrophil count (ANC) reaches 1,500/mm^3, patients receive rituximab IV on day 1 (i.e., the day ANC reaches 1,500/mm^3), ifosfamide IV over 1 hour on days 1-5, cytarabine IV over 3 hours every 12 hours on days 1 and 2, and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Patients also receive G-CSF SC once daily beginning on day 7 and continuing until blood counts recover. Approximately 2-3 weeks later, patients receive another course of therapy as above.
Patients in complete remission after 2 courses of rituximab and combination chemotherapy receive oral thalidomide daily. Treatment with thalidomide continues for 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed monthly for 3 months, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3-5 years, and then annually thereafter.
