Combination Chemotherapy and Rituximab With Pegfilgrastim Followed by Rituximab, in Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

February 21, 2022 updated by: SCRI Development Innovations, LLC

A Phase II Trial of Brief Duration Combination Chemotherapy and Rituximab With Prophylactic Pegfilgrastim, Followed by Maintenance Rituximab, in Elderly/Poor Performance Status Patients With Large B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

The purposes of this trial are to decrease toxicity and improve treatment effectiveness elderly patients. With a short course of chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone, vincristine, and prednisone with concurrent administration of rituximab it is likely to be as effective as longer programs, and will certainly be better tolerated by this patient group. The addition of maintenance therapy may result in substantial prolongation of remission duration.

Detailed Description

Upon determination of eligibility, patients will receive:

  • Cyclophosphamide + Mitoxantrone + Vincristine + Prednisone + Rituximab

Patients that are not considered candidates for anthracycline therapy will not receive mitoxantrone. Patients with objective response (partial or complete response) or stable disease will receive Rituximab maintenance therapy.
