Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Study of ONTAK and CHOP (chemotherapy drugs) to find out their ability to make Peripheral T-cell lymphoma disappear (for any period of time) and potentially lengthen life. The study will also compare what kind of side effects these drugs cause and how often they occur. The hypothesis is that patients with newly diagnosed peripheral T-Cell lymphoma, when given ONTAK + CHOP, will tolerate the treatment and will have a 20% improvement in response rate when compared to CHOP alone.

- Denileukin diftitox in combination with CHOP
- description
- Unblinded denileukin diftitox at 18 micrograms/kilogram/day (ug/kg/d) was administered intravenously (IV) on Days 1 and 2 of each 21-day cycle. Cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) was administered on Day 3 of each 21-day cycle. On Day 4 of each 21-day cycle, pegfilgrastim (a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)) was started as a prophylaxis to prevent neutropenia. After completion of two 21-day cycles, participants were evaluated for clinical response. Two 21-day cycles with denileukin and CHOP were repeated followed by response evaluations after each set of two 21-day cycles with intent to treat for 6 cycles, with a maximum of 8 cycles.
