Supportive medications:

*PCP prophylaxis with any one of the following:
 
**[[Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim DS)]] 160/800 mg PO BID 3 days per week

'''21-day cycles x 6-8 cycles'''
 
 
 
Dose-adjustments for EPOCH protocol:
 
*Start cycle 1 as described above.
 
*Obtain CBCs twice per week for nadir measurements.
 
*If nadir ANC >500, increase etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
 
*If nadir ANC <500 on 1 or 2 measurements, use same doses as last cycle.
 
*If nadir ANC <500 on at least 3 measurements, decrease etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
 
*And/or if nadir platelet count <25 on at least 1 measurement, decrease etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
 
*'''Dose adjustments below the cycle 1 starting dose only applies to cyclophosphamide.'''  The lowest etoposide and doxorubicin would be dosed at is the original cycle 1 dose.
 
*Can start new cycle every 21 days if ANC >1,000 and platelets >100.  If counts are below those levels, check daily CBC and continue growth factor support until counts are adequate and next cycle can start.

*[[Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan)]] 750 mg/m2 IV once on day 1
 
*[[Doxorubicin (Adriamycin)]] 50 mg/m2 IV once on day 1
 
*[[Vincristine (Oncovin)]] 1.4 mg/m2 (maximum dose of 2 mg per cycle) IV once on day 1
 
*[[Prednisolone (Millipred)]] 40 mg/m2 PO once per day on days 1 to 5
 
*[[Rituximab (Rituxan)]] 375 mg/m2 IV once on day 1
 
 
 
'''21-day cycles x 8 cycles'''
 
 
 
Supportive medications:
 
*[[Lenograstim (Granocyte)]] (dose/route not specified) given on days 4 to 12 at physician discretion
 
*Allopurinol (Aloprim) 300 mg PO once per day during cycle 1
 
*[[Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim DS)|Co-trimoxazole]] 480 mg (route not specified) BID on 3 days per week, taken throughout therapy, ending 2 weeks after chemotherapy is completed
 
 
 
====CNS prophylaxis====
 
Per investigator discretion, but Cunningham, et al. 2013 recommended that patients who had involvement of the "bone marrow, peripheral blood, nasal or paranasal sinuses, orbit, and testis" (they probably intended to say "or testis") receive:
 
*[[Methotrexate (MTX)]] 12.5 mg IT "for the first three cycles of treatment, administered as per local guidelines."  No other details given.

Supportive medications:
 
*[[Filgrastim (Neupogen)]] 5 mcg/kg SQ daily, starting on day 6 and continuing until ANC >5,000/uL past nadir
 
*PCP prophylaxis with any one of the following:
 
**[[Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim DS)]] 160/800 mg PO BID 3 days per week
 
***Alternative used only in García-Suárez, et al. 2007: cotrimoxazole 480 mg PO BID 3 days per week
 
**[[Atovaquone (Mepron)]] 1500 mg PO daily
 
**Pentamidine (Nebupent) 300 mg nebulized every 28 days
 
*Only in García-Suárez, et al. 2007: [[Darbepoetin alfa (Aranesp)]] 2.25 ug/kg SC when hemoglobin concentration was ≤100 g/l.
 
 
 
Dose-adjustments for EPOCH protocol:
 
*Start cycle 1 as described above.
 
*Obtain CBCs twice per week for nadir measurements.
 
*If nadir ANC >500, increase etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
 
*If nadir ANC <500 on 1 or 2 measurements, use same doses as last cycle.
 
*If nadir ANC <500 on at least 3 measurements, decrease etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
 
*And/or if nadir platelet count <25 on at least 1 measurement, decrease etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
 
*'''Dose adjustments below the cycle 1 starting dose only applies to cyclophosphamide.'''  The lowest etoposide and doxorubicin would be dosed at is the original cycle 1 dose.
 
*Can start new cycle every 21 days if ANC >1,000 and platelets >100.  If counts are below those levels, check daily CBC and continue growth factor support until counts are adequate and next cycle can start.
 
 
 
'''21-day cycles x 6-8 cycles'''
 
 
 
Supportive medications:
 
*EITHER [[Filgrastim (Neupogen)]] 5 mcg/kg SQ daily, starting 24 hours after EPOCH is completed and continuing until "neutrophil recovery"--no absolute count specified

*[[Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim DS)]] 160/800 mg PO 3x per week (e.g. Monday, Wednesday, Friday)
 
*Fluconazole (Diflucan) 100 mg PO daily
 
*Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) 500 mg PO BID, starting on day 8 and to continue to at least day 15 or postnadir ANC of at least 1000
 
**Other fluoroquinolone can be used at discretion of physician

====Dose adjustments====
 
*Start cycle 1 as described above.
 
*Obtain CBCs twice per week for nadir measurements.
 
*If nadir ANC >500, increase etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by one level (20%) compared to previous cycle.
 
*If nadir ANC <500, use same doses as last cycle.
 
*If nadir platelet count <25,000, decrease etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to the previous cycle.
