  • 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

  • Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) 800 mg/m2 IV on day 1; cyclophosphamide 200 mg/m2 IV on days 2-5
  • Vincristine (Oncovin) 1.5 mg/m2 (no maximum dose) IV on days 1 & 8 of cycle 1; vincristine 1.5 mg/m2 (no maximum dose) IV on days 1, 8, 15 of cycle 3
  • Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) 40 mg/m2 IV on day 1
  • Methotrexate (MTX) 1200 mg/m2 IV over 1 hour on day 10; then 240 mg/m2/hour IV over 23 hours on day 10; total dose on day 10 is 6720 mg/m2
  • Folinic acid (Leucovorin) 192 mg/m2 IV on day 11, starting 36 hours after the start of the day 10 methotrexate, then 12 mg/m2 IV every 6 hours thereafter until serum methotrexate level is <5 x 10-8 mol/L
  • Cytarabine (Cytosar) 70 mg intrathecal on days 1 & 3
    • Patients younger than 3 years old received "appropriately reduced doses"
  • Methotrexate (MTX) 12 mg intrathecal 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:

  • GM-CSF 7.5 mcg/kg SQ daily, starting on day 13 and continuing until ANC >1,000/uL

Part A: CODOX-M for low risk patients

  • Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) 800 mg/m2 IV on day 1; cyclophosphamide 200 mg/m2 IV on days 2-5
  • Vincristine (Oncovin) 1.5 mg/m2 (no maximum dose) IV on days 1 & 8
  • Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) 40 mg/m2 IV on day 1

  • Folinic acid (Leucovorin) 192 mg/m2 IV on day 11, starting 36 hours after the start of the day 10 methotrexate, then 12 mg/m2 IV every 6 hours thereafter until serum methotrexate level is <5 x 10-8 mol/L
  • Cytarabine (Cytosar) 70 mg intrathecal on day 1
    • Patients younger than 3 years old received "appropriately reduced doses"
  • Methotrexate (MTX) 12 mg intrathecal on day 3
    • Patients younger than 3 years old received "appropriately reduced doses"

Supportive medications:

  • No GM-CSF used for low risk patients

Part B: IVAC for high risk patients

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

Supportive medications:

  • GM-CSF 7.5 mcg/kg SQ daily, 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.

R-dmCODOX-M/IVAC

R-dmCODOX-M: Rituximab, dose-modified Cyclophosphamide, Oncovin, DOXorubicin, Methotrexate
IVAC: Ifosfamide, Vepesid (etoposide), Ara-C (cytarabine)

Regimen #1, Mead, et al. 2008 & Kassam, et al. 2012

Kassam, et al. 2012 is a retrospective analysis that includes analysis of the use of rituximab with dose-modified CODOX-M/IVAC, and it lists Mead, et al. 2008 as its reference for this. However, since Mead, et al. 2008 did not include the use of rituximab, and Kassam, et al. 2012 did not describe exactly how rituximab was used in addition to that cited regimen, rituximab will not be included in this summary of the regimen. If one were to speculate, one would presume the dosage & schedule would be Rituximab (Rituxan) 375 mg/m2 IV once per cycle.

  • Patients are stratified into high and low risk:
    • Low risk patients must fulfill at least 3 of the following criteria:
    • Any patients which do not meet low risk criteria are classified as high risk

Regimen #2, Lacasce, et al. 2004 & Barnes, et al. 2011 - modified Magrath

Lacasce, et al. 2004 describes this particular modified Magrath regimen, and Barnes, et al. 2011 references it as the foundation for its R-CODOX-M/IVAC regimen. There were several vague details/errors in Lacasce, et al. 2004 that limit one's ability to confidently use this regimen.

  • Patients are stratified into high and low risk:
    • Low risk patients must fulfill both of the following criteria:
      • Normal LDH
      • Single focus of disease measuring <10 cm in greatest diameter
    • Any patients which do not meet low risk criteria are classified as high risk

Part A: R-CODOX-M

  • Rituximab (Rituxan) 375 mg/m2 IV once per cycle (no day specified by Barnes, et al. 2011)
  • Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) 800 mg/m2 IV on days 1 & 2
  • Vincristine (Oncovin) 1.4 mg/m2 (maximum dose of 2 mg per cycle) IV on days 1 & 10
  • Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) 50 mg/m2 IV on day 1
  • Methotrexate (MTX) 3000 mg/m2 IV (no duration of infusion given) on day 10
    • Note: Lacasce, et al. 2004 says that methotrexate is given after urine is alkalinzied to a pH <7; this is almost certainly a typo, and it was probably intended to say "alkalinzied to a pH >7"
  • Folinic acid (Leucovorin) 200 mg/m2 IV on day 11, starting 24 hours after the start of the day 10 methotrexate, then 15 mg/m2 IV every 6 hours thereafter until serum methotrexate level is <0.1 x 10-6 M
  • Cytarabine (Cytosar) 50 mg intrathecal on days 1 & 3
    • Day 3 dose is not given to low risk patients
    • Hydrocortisone 50 mg intrathecal administered with all doses of intrathecal chemotherapy
  • Methotrexate (MTX) 12 mg intrathecal on day 1, admixed with day 1 cytarabine
    • Hydrocortisone 50 mg intrathecal administered with all doses of intrathecal chemotherapy

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

  • Cytarabine (Cytosar) 50 mg intrathecal on day 5 (in addition to doses above)
  • Methotrexate (MTX) 12 mg intrathecal on day 10 (in addition to dose above)
  • Hydrocortisone 50 mg intrathecal administered with all doses of intrathecal chemotherapy

Supportive medications:

  • G-CSF (no dose specified) on days 3-8
    • Note: Lacasce, et al. 2004 says that "G-CSF was restarted therafter if ANC > 1000"; this is believed to be a typo. The authors probably intended to say "G-CSF was restarted therafter if ANC <1000." Additionally, figure 1 contradicts the body text and indicates that G-CSF is given on days 1-6, and restarted on day 12: "ANC <1000 on day 12, restart G-CSF."

Part B: R-IVAC

Patients with CNS disease at presentation received the following extra doses of intrathecal chemotherapy during the first cycle of IVAC (cycle 2 overall):

  • Cytarabine (Cytosar) 50 mg intrathecal on days 3 & 5
  • Methotrexate (MTX) 12 mg intrathecal on day 5
    • Note: Lacasce, et al. 2004 said that these are additional doses, but there is already a dose of methotrexate 12 mg intrathecal regularly scheduled to be given on day 5. Therefore, it is unclear whether a second dose of methotrexate 12 mg is to be given.
  • Hydrocortisone 50 mg intrathecal administered with all doses of intrathecal chemotherapy

Supportive medications:

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.
