The most common HIV-associated lymphomas are of DLBCL or Burkitt lymphoma histology; plasmablastic lymphoma and primary effusion lymphomas are also frequently seen in advanced-stage HIV/AIDS. In patients with a normal CD4+ T-cell count and well-controlled HIV, the lymphoma is typically treated as per the histologic subtype. For others, regimens specific to HIV-associated lymphoma have been developed and are included here.

Wang et al. 2003 Retrospective

Note: the original protocol of Magrath et al. 1996 did not comment on HIV status. Wang et al. 2003 retrospectively identified 8 HIV+ Burkitt lymphoma patients who had undergone treatment with CODOX-M/IVAC.

  • Patients are stratified into high and low risk:
    • Low risk patients must fulfill all of the following criteria:
      • Serum LDH within the institution's normal range (for the NCI, this was <350 IU/L)
      • Single extraabdominal mass or completely resected abdominal disease
    • Any patients which do not meet low risk criteria are classified as high risk

Part A: CODOX-M for high risk patients

CNS prophylaxis

  • Cytarabine (Cytosar) 70 mg intrathecal once per day on days 1 & 3
    • Patients younger than 3 years old received "appropriately reduced doses"
  • Methotrexate (MTX) 12 mg intrathecal once on day 15
    • Patients younger than 3 years old received "appropriately reduced doses"

Patients with CNS disease at presentation received the following extra doses of intrathecal chemotherapy during cycle 1:

Supportive medications

  • Folinic acid (Leucovorin) 192 mg/m2 IV once on day 11, starting 36 hours after the start of the day 10 Methotrexate (MTX), then 12 mg/m2 IV every 6 hours thereafter until serum methotrexate level is <5 x 10-8 mol/L
  • GM-CSF 7.5 mcg/kg SC once per day, starting on day 13 and continuing until ANC >1000/uL

Part A: CODOX-M for low risk patients

CNS prophylaxis

  • Cytarabine (Cytosar) 70 mg intrathecal once on day 1
    • Patients younger than 3 years old received "appropriately reduced doses"

    • Patients younger than 3 years old received "appropriately reduced doses"

Supportive medications

  • Folinic acid (Leucovorin) 192 mg/m2 IV once on day 11, starting 36 hours after the start of the day 10 Methotrexate (MTX), then 12 mg/m2 IV every 6 hours thereafter until serum methotrexate level is <5 x 10-8 mol/L
  • No GM-CSF used for low risk patients

Part B: IVAC for high risk patients

CNS prophylaxis

Patients with CNS disease at presentation received the following extra doses of intrathecal chemotherapy during cycle 2:

Supportive medications

  • Mesna (Mesnex) 360 mg/m2 IV every 3 hours on days 1 to 5, given at same time as Ifosfamide (Ifex)
  • GM-CSF 7.5 mcg/kg SC once per day, starting on day 7 and continuing until ANC >1,000/uL

High risk patients receive Part A: CODOX-M and Part B: IVAC given in an alternating fashion x total of 4 cycles (A, B, A, B). Low risk patients receive Part A: CODOX-M x 3 cycles only. Each cycle starts on the same day that the patient's ANC is >1,000/uL.
