Tandem Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients With Primary Progressive or Recurrent Hodgkin's Disease (A BMT Study), Phase II
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating carmustine, cyclophosphamide, and 4 other interventions for Lymphoma. Completed, enrolled 98 participants across 53 sites.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. 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 chemotherapy with a peripheral stem cell transplant may allow more chemotherapy to be given so that more cancer cells are killed. Tandem (two) autologous stem cell transplants may be an effective treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well tandem stem cell transplantation works in treating patients with progressive or recurrent Hodgkin's lymphoma.
