NCT00809341

Brief Summary

This research is being done to see if a PET scan that is obtained after 3 cycles of a standard chemotherapy regimen can help guide treatment for patients with a blood disease called Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The standard treatment for newly diagnosed lymphoma is 6 to 8 cycles of chemotherapy like the CHOP combination (Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone). This regimen can cure about half of patients with lymphoma, but in many others disease relapses (comes back). Relapses are generally treated with more chemotherapy. We believe that a PET scan (a type of imaging study that "lights up" in areas of cells with high activity such as lymphoma), may identify patients early who are at high risk of relapse. The purpose of this research study is to find out if people whose treatment is changed early to an intensification regimen (high dose chemotherapy) based on a positive PET scan will have longer remissions than they would if they did not receive that high dose chemotherapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Event-free Survival in Patient Receiving Early Treatment Intensification Based on a Positive Mid-treatment PET Scan

    2 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall Survival in Patients Whose Treatment is Determined on the Basis of a Mid-treatment [18F] FDG-PET Scan Result.

    5 years

Study Arms (2)

PET Negative

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) or an equivalent anthracycline-containing regimen for 3 cycles, followed by PET scan. Participants with a negative PET scan will complete their chemotherapy regimen as prescribed by their oncologist.

Biological: RituximabDrug: CyclophosphamideDrug: DoxorubicinDrug: VincristineDrug: PrednisoneProcedure: PET scan

PET Positive

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) or an equivalent anthracycline-containing regimen for 3 cycles, followed by PET scan. Participants with a positive PET scan will receive two cycles of R-ICE (rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide) followed by HiCy (high-dose cyclophosphamide).
