Combination Chemotherapy and Rituximab in Treating Young Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma or Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
A Phase II Study of Rituximab (IND #7028) and Ifosfamide, Carboplatin and Etoposide (ICE) Chemotherapy in Children With Recurrent/Refractory B-cell (CD20+) Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Brief Summary
This phase II trial is studying how well rituximab together with ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide works in treating young patients with recurrent or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Chemotherapy drugs, such as ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Combining ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide with rituximab may kill more cancer cells.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Response rate determined by physical exam and appropriate imaging studies
Response rates and confidence intervals will be constructed according to the method of Chang and O'Brien.
Up to 3 years
Relapse-free survival rate
Estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method.
Up to 3 years
Toxicity as assessed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)
Up to 3 years
Secondary Outcomes (1)
CD34 cells mobilization by flow cytometry
At the completion of 2 courses of treatment
Study Arms (1)
Treatment (chemotherapy, rituximab)
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive ifosfamide IV over 2 hours and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 3-5, rituximab IV on days 1 and 3, and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 3. Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously once daily beginning on day 6 and continuing until blood counts recover. Patients also receive intrathecal (IT) chemotherapy comprising methotrexate and cytarabine. Patients with B-cell large cell lymphoma and negative CSF cytology receive IT chemotherapy on day 3 of the first course only. Patients with small non-cleaved cell lymphoma or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and negative CSF cytology receive IT chemotherapy on day 3. All patients with positive CSF cytology receive IT chemotherapy on days 3, 10, and 17 of the first and second courses. Treatment repeats every 23 days for up to 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
