Brief Summary

RATIONALE: 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. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy works in treating older patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Disease Response (Complete, Complete Unconfirmed, and Partial Responses) After 4 Courses

    Response was defined as participants with a complete response (CR), unconfirmed complete response (CRu) or partial response (PR), based on International Workshop Criteria (IWG) for Tumor Response Criteria assessed with CT \& FDG-PET scans at 4 cycles (12 weeks). CR defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions in liver \& spleen, \& all lymph node masses regressed to normal size. PR defined as ≥50% reduction in sum of product of diameters (SPD) for measured lymph nodes, splenic \& liver lesions separately compared to baseline SPD. CRu does not qualify for CR above, due to a residual nodal mass or an indeterminate bone marrow.

    Evaluation after 12 weeks (4 cycles of 21 days)

  • Number of Participants Experienced Grade 3 or Higher Cardiac Toxicity After Treatment: Cardiac Toxicity as Measured by Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) on Echocardiogram (ECHO) After 8 Courses

    Ejection fraction ( EF) refers to the amount, or percentage, of blood that is pumped (or ejected) out of the ventricles with each contraction. Cardiology evaluation performed before second dose of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or before entry onto trial, re-evaluation by cardiologist obtained in asymptomatic patients after chemotherapy cycle 4 and again after completion of therapy, and more often if symptomatic. Severe cardiac toxicity considered to be both Grade 3 and 4, and are graded according to NCI common toxicity criteria, CTCAE version 3.0.

    Up to 24 weeks (8 cycles of 21 days)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Survival Rate

    Up to 5 years

  • Disease-free Survival

    Up to 5 years or until disease progression
