A Phase II Study of Sequential Doxorubicin and Topotecan (Dox/Topo) in Relapsed or Refractory Intermediate- or High-Grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL)


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the response rate and time to progression in patients with relapsed or
refractory intermediate or high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with doxorubicin
and topotecan.

- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive doxorubicin IV over 5-10 minutes on day 1 and topotecan IV over 30
minutes on days 3-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of
disease progression.

Patients are followed every 6 months for 2 years and annually for the next 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 55 patients will be accrued for this study over 2.5 years.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Histologically confirmed recurrent or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of one of the
following subtypes:

- Follicular center lymphoma, grade 3

- Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

- Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma

- Burkitt's lymphoma

- High grade B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt-like

- Anaplastic large cell lymphoma, CD30+ cell type

- Anaplastic large cell lymphoma, T-cell type

- Bidimensionally measurable disease NOTE: A new classification scheme for adult
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been adopted by PDQ. The terminology of "indolent" or
"aggressive" lymphoma will replace the former terminology of "low", "intermediate",
or "high" grade lymphoma. However, this protocol uses the former terminology.
