Brief Title: Immunochemotherapy, Zevalin, and Bone Marrow Transplant for Follicular Lymphoma
Official Title: A Pilot Phase II Study Of Sequential Treatment With Chemotherapy, Radioimmunotherapy and Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Follicular Lymphoma
Study ID: NCT01130194
Brief Summary: Follicular lymphoma has historically been considered an incurable lymphoma. By combining multiple effective treatments, the investigators believe that prolonged disease-free survival is achievable in this disease. The investigators goal is to have at least 60-70% of our patients in first continuous complete remission 15 years from initiation of treatment.
Detailed Description: Patients will receive six cycles of combination chemotherapy, C-MOPP-R, typically through a subcutaneous PORT. This combination chemotherapy will last six months. After the last dose of chemotherapy, patients will have a 2 month treatment holiday prior to undergoing stem cell mobilization from peripheral blood with subcutaneous injections of neupogen and mozobil. Patients then receive Zevalin radioimmunotherapy, and this is followed after recovery of blood counts, typically 3 months later, by an autologous stem cell transplant.
