Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Bortezomib, and Prednisone in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Follicular Lymphoma or Marginal Zone Lymphoma - Full Text View

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00772668

Purpose

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, such as cyclophosphamide and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving rituximab together with cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and prednisone may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and prednisone works as first-line therapy in treating patients with stage III or stage IV follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma.

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

To determine the overall response rate, in terms of complete response (CR), unconfirmed CR, and partial response, in patients with follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and prednisone (R-CVelP) as first line of treatment.

Secondary

To determine progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.
To determine overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
To determine the safety and tolerance to R-CVelP in these patients.

OUTLINE:

Induction therapy: Patients receive rituximab IV and cyclophosphamide IV over 30 minutes on day 1, bortezomib IV on days 1 and 8, and oral prednisone once daily on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then proceed to maintenance therapy.
Maintenance therapy: Patients receive rituximab IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Treatment repeats every 6 months for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter.
