NCT00002657

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Reducing the amount of drugs used to prevent transplant rejection may help a person's body kill tumor cells. Giving biological therapy, such as interferon alfa, which may interfere with the growth of cancer cells, or combination chemotherapy, which uses different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die, may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of reducing immunosuppression, and giving interferon alfa and combination chemotherapy, in treating patients who have malignant tumors that develop after organ transplant.

Study Arms (1)

Immumosuppression, IFN-a, ProMACE-CytaBOM

EXPERIMENTAL

Doses and schedules of immunosuppressive drugs (cyclosporin (or FK506), prednisone, and acyclovir) will depend on whether patients are judged to have clinically urgent disease or not. Patients who do not have a CR after initial immunosuppression will receive 3 cycles (28 days each) Interferon alpha 2b at 3.0 x 10\^6 IU/m\^2 on days 1-28. Patients who have a CR will then receive 6 additional cycles with 3 doses per week, then go onto observation. Patients who do not have a CR will then receive a maximum of 6 21-day cycles of chemotherapy, consisting of: cyclophosphamide 650 mg/m\^2 on day 1, adriamycin 25 mg/m\^2 on day 1, etoposide 120 mg/m\^2 on day 1, prednisone 60 mg/m\^2 on days 1-14, cytosine arabinoside 300 mg/m\^2 on day 8, bleomycin 5 mg/m\^2 on day 8, vincristine 1.4 mg/m\^2 on day 8, methotrexate 120 mg/m\^2 on day 8, leucovorin 25 mg/m\^2 q 6 hours on days 8-9, G-CSF 5 ug/kg/day on days 2-14, and one double strength tablet trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 3 times per week.
