A Phase II Study Of Rituximab-CHOP With Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin In Patients Older Than 60 Years Of Age With Untreated Aggressive B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Filgrastim, Pegfilgrastim, and 5 other interventions for Lymphoma. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 7 sites.
Detailed Summary
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. Giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy works in treating older patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
