Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and alternating regimens of chemotherapy in treating patients who have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or acute lymphocytic leukemia.

Conditions

Leukemia; Lymphoma

Keywords

untreated adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia; L3 adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia; stage I adult Burkitt lymphoma; stage II adult Burkitt lymphoma; stage III adult Burkitt lymphoma; stage IV adult Burkitt lymphoma; contiguous stage II adult Burkitt lymphoma; noncontiguous stage II adult Burkitt lymphoma

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• complete response

  up to 5 years post-transplant

Study Arms (1)

Combination therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive combination therapy as described in the study description. All patients must complete at least the first 3 courses of chemotherapy. Courses 2 and 3 each repeat 3 times in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. On days 134-139, patients who have had prior bone marrow involvement receive cranial radiation therapy. Patients who achieve less than a complete response and who have an HLA-matched sibling should undergo allogeneic bone marrow transplant on protocol CLB-9113. Patients are followed monthly for 6 months, every 2 months for 18 months, every 6 months for 2 years, and thereafter for survival.
