- Etoposide (Vepesid) 100 mg/m2 IV once per day on days 1 to 3
- Patients with initial bulky disease (mass conglomerate at least 7.5 cm) received 36 Gy radiation therapy and to extranodal sites of disease when possible
Supportive medications:
- For 14-day cycles: Filgrastim (Neupogen) 300 mcg (for patients <75 kg) or 480 mcg (for patients at least 75 kg) SC once per day on days 4 to 13
- Filgrastim (Neupogen) use for 21-day cycles is by discretion of ordering physician
14 or 21-day cycles x 6 cycles, next cycle to start as long as WBC is >2.5 and platelets >80
- CHOEP-14 uses 14-day cycles; CHOEP-21 uses 21-day cycles
