Phase I/II Study of Lenalidomide (Revlimid), Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine and Prednisone (R2CHOP) Chemoimmunotherapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Large Cell and Follicular Grade IIIA/B B Cell Lymphoma
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating pegfilgrastim, rituximab, and 7 other interventions for Lymphoma. Completed, enrolled 138 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Lenalidomide may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. 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, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving lenalidomide together with rituximab and combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with rituximab and combination chemotherapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage II, stage III, or stage IV diffuse large cell or follicular B-cell lymphoma.
