Trial Information

A Phase II Study of Epratuzumab, Rituximab (ER)-CHOP for Patients With Previously Untreated Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Assess the efficacy of epratuzumab and rituximab in combination with cyclophosphamide,
doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP), as measured by 12-month,
event-free survival, in patients with previously untreated stage II, III, or IV diffuse
large B-cell lymphoma.

- Assess the use of positron emission tomography (PET) scan routinely early in treatment
and after completion of treatment.

- Assess the functional response rate (complete response, partial response, or stable
disease by CT scan and PET negative) in patients treated with this regimen.

- Assess the safety of this treatment regimen.

Secondary

- Correlate laboratory prognostic factors for large cell lymphoma with clinical response
to this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive epratuzumab IV over 1 hour on day 1, rituximab IV over 4-8 hours on day 1
or days 1 and 2, cyclophosphamide IV, doxorubicin hydrochloride IV, and vincristine IV on
day 1 or 2, and oral prednisone on days 1-5 or 2-6. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up
to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 86 patients will be accrued for this study.
