Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome and rituximab together with combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with newly diagnosed Burkitt's lymphoma or Burkitt-like lymphoma.

- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Alternating doxil/Magrath regimen & rituximab/Magrath regimen
- description
- Patients are stratified between high risk and low risk disease status. Low risk patients receive 3 cycles of rituximab (500 mg/m2) R-CODOX-M chemotherapy IV over 2-4 hours with intrathecal chemotherapy (Regimen A). High risk patients receive 1 cycle of R-CODOX-M chemotherapy IV followed by R-IVAC chemotherapy over 30 minutes(Regimen B); regimens A and B are then repeated.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Overall Response Rate (ORR) of Patients With Burkitt's and Burkitt-like Lymphoma/Leukemia Treated With Modified Magrath Regimen
- timeFrame
- After two cycles of treatment and at completion of treatment (4 cycles for high risk and 3 cycles for low risk) up to approximately 20 weeks.
- description
- Response Rate is defined as combined number of patients with Complete Remission (CR) Complete Remission undetermined (Cru) and Partial Remission (PR) for patients with Burkitt's and Burkitt-like Lymphoma/Leukemia. Response will be measured by CT scans following treatment completion and assessed using Response Criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma where: CR=complete disappearance of all detectable clinical and radiographic evidence of disease and disappearance of all disease-related symptoms. CRu=same as above but allowing for 75% decrease in lymph node masses and indeterminate or normal bone marrow. PR=50% decrease in SPD of the six largest dominant nodes or nodal masses with no increase in size or other nodes, liver, spleen and no new sites of disease.
