A Phase II Study Of Intensive Induction Chemotherapy Followed By Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation Plus Immunotherapy For Mantle Cell Lymphoma


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the two-year progression-free survival of patients with mantle cell lymphoma
treated with intensive chemotherapy and rituximab with autologous peripheral blood stem
cell (PBSC) transplantation.

- Determine the complete and partial response rates of patients treated with this
regimen.

- Determine the disease-free and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine the autologous immune reconstitution in patients treated with this regimen.

- Determine the feasibility of this regimen in this patient population.

- Determine whether treatment with rituximab during autologous PBSC transplantation
reduces the amount of contaminating lymphoma in the autologous PBSC product.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive induction therapy comprising rituximab IV over 4-6 hours on day 1;
methotrexate IV over 4 hours on day 2; cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours, doxorubicin IV, and
vincristine IV on day 3; and oral prednisone on days 3-7. Patients also receive leucovorin
calcium IV every 6 hours beginning on day 3 and continuing until blood levels of
methotrexate are safe. Filgrastim (G-CSF) is administered subcutaneously (SC) beginning on
day 4 and continuing until blood counts recover.

Induction therapy repeats every 21-28 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity. Rituximab may be omitted during course 1 if
circulating mantle cells are excessive. Patients may receive a third course if more than 15%
persistent bone marrow involvement is documented.

Patients with stable or responding disease begin consolidation therapy 29 days after the
start of the final course of induction therapy. Patients receive cytarabine IV over 2 hours
twice daily and etoposide IV over 96 hours on days 1-4. Patients also receive rituximab IV
over 4-6 hours on days 5 or 6 and 12 or 13 and G-CSF SC beginning on day 14 and continuing
until leukapheresis is complete. Patients undergo leukapheresis beginning between days 22-25
and continuing until adequate CD34 cells are collected.

Beginning 4 weeks after recovery from consolidation therapy, patients receive high-dose
therapy comprising carmustine IV over 2 hours on day -6, etoposide IV over 4 hours on day
-4, and cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on day -2. Patients undergo autologous peripheral
blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation on day 0. Patients receive G-CSF SC beginning on day
6 and continuing until blood counts recover.

After blood counts recover and more than 35 days after autologous PBSC transplantation,
patients receive rituximab IV over 4-6 hours weekly for 2 weeks.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then
annually for up to 10 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: At least 45 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
