Official Title: Protocol CCAM 05-02 " Phase I-II Study of Dose Dense of PEG Filgrastim and GM-CSF as Support for Dose Desnse CHOP-R Front Line Therapy for Aggressive Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma"
Study ID: NCT01527422
Brief Summary: We now propose to investigate the combination of CHOP-Rituxan plus PEG-Filgrastim (PEG-filgrastim) and GM-CSF. PEG-Filgrastim would be given in order to allow us to administer the chemotherapy courses every 2 weeks with the practical advantage of requiring only one dose of PEG-filgrastim instead of daily doses of G-CSF.
Detailed Description: 1.1 Primary Objective: 1. To identify the ideal dose of the combination of CHOP-R with PEG-Filgrastim (Neulasta) using first a fixed dose of Neulasta and an escalating dose of GM-CSF (Leukine) up to 250 mcg. When that dose is reached, if possible, the dose of Neulasta will be increased stepwise. CHOP-R will be delivered every 14 days at a fixed standard dose with dose adjustments of PEG-Filgrastim and GM-CSF upwards and downwards according to nadir or zenith blood counts. 1.2 Secondary Objective: 2. To generate preliminary pilot data as to the effectiveness of the regimen in inducing very early remissions as measured by the CT-PET scan technique.
