Regimen

Level of Evidence: Phase II

Treatments 1-2, R-M-CHOP

Interval between treatment 1 & 2 based on count recovery. Median days between treatment 1 & 2 was 23 days, with a range of 16-41 days observed.

Supportive medications:

  • Filgrastim (Neupogen) 5 mcg/kg SC once per day starting on day 4, to continue until ANC >10000 once or >5000 twice
  • Levofloxacin (Levaquin) 500 mg PO once per day, starting on day 6, to continue until ANC ≥1500
  • Fluconazole (Diflucan) 200 mg PO once per day, starting on day 6, to continue until ANC ≥1500

Patients with ≤15% involvement by disease in bone marrow biopsy after treatment 2 proceed to treatment 3. If bone marrow biopsy after treatment 2 has >15% involvement by disease, repeat treatment 2 (identified as "treatment 2.5"). Patients with >15% bone marrow involvement by disease after treatment 2.5 were removed from protocol.

Treatment 3, "EAR"

EAR: Etoposide, Ara-C, Rituximab
Treatment 3 begins 4 weeks after treatment 2, if ANC ≥1000, platelets ≥100,000/uL, Cr <2 mg/dL, total bilirubin <2x upper limit of normal, and AST <3x upper limit of normal.

  • Etoposide (Vepesid) 10 mg/kg/day (40 mg/kg total dose) IV continuous infusion over 96 hours on days 1 to 4
  • Cytarabine (Cytosar) 2000 mg/m2 IV over 2 hours BID on days 1 to 4 (8 total doses)
  • Rituximab (Rituxan) 375 mg/m2 IV once per day on days 6 & 13
  • Daily leukapheresis to start when WBC ≥5000/uL

Supportive medications:

  • Filgrastim (Neupogen) 10 mcg/kg SC once per day starting on day 14, to continue until peripheral blood stem cell collection is complete
  • Levofloxacin (Levaquin) 500 mg PO once per day, starting on day 7, to continue until ANC ≥500
  • Fluconazole (Diflucan) 200 mg PO once per day, starting on day 6, to continue until ANC ≥500
  • Acyclovir (Zovirax) 200 mg PO TID, starting on day 6, to continue until 1 year after autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT)
  • Note: Text specified that Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim DS) prophylaxis started during treatment 3 (see dose/schedule in treatment 4)--although table 1 did not list it--to continue until 3 months after ASCT.

Treatment 4, CBV with autologous stem cell transplant

CBV: Cyclophosphamide, BiCNU, VP-16

See details of regimen at Transplant conditioning regimens#CBV

Treatment 5, Rituximab

  • Rituximab (Rituxan) 375 mg/m2 IV once per week x 2 doses, during the sixth and seventh weeks after ASCT

Additional considerations

If cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) contained disease with CSF WBC ≤5 cells/uL:

  • Methotrexate (MTX) 12 mg intrathecal x 10 total doses during treatments 1 to 3; not given concurrently with intrathecal methotrexate or cytarabine

If CSF contained >5 cells/uL:

  • In addition to intrathecal chemotherapy above, patient also received 2 Gy x 12 fractions (total dose 24 Gy) cranial radiation

If any patient appeared to be experiencing carmustine-induced pneumonitis:

    • Urine alkalinized to pH of 6.8 or more prior to the start of methotrexate and kept within that range until methotrexate is cleared
    • Patients with a Cr >1.5 mg/dL received a 50% reduced dose of methotrexate
  • Cytarabine (Cytosar) 3000 mg/m2 (1000 mg/m2 for patients >60 years old or with Cr >1.5) IV over 2 hours Q12H x 4 doses on days 3 & 4 (total dose per cycle: 4000 mg/m2)

Obinutuzumab (GA101)

Regimen, Morschhauser et al. 2013 (GAUGUIN)

Level of Evidence: Phase II

  • Obinutuzumab (GA101) 1600 mg (diluted to 10 mg/mL) IV once per day on cycle 1 days 1 & 8; then, during cycles 2 to 8, Obinutuzumab (GA101) 800 mg IV once on day 1
    • Initial infusion rate is 50 mg/hour. In the absence of infusion-related reactions (IRRs), the rate is then increased by 50 mg/hour every 30 minutes, up to a maximum of 400 mg/hour.

21-day cycles x 8 cycles

Supportive medications:

  • Acetaminophen (Tylenol) or paracetamol 650 to 1000 mg PO once 30 minutes prior to obinutuzumab
  • "An antihistamine" 30 minutes prior to obinutuzumab; if there were no infusion-related reactions (IRRs) requiring medication or infusion interruption, antihistamine could be omitted for subsequent infusions
  • Premedication with corticosteroids recommended for patients at high risk of infusion-related reactions (IRRs)
  • Use of G-CSF allowed for severe neutropenia
  • Antibiotic prophylaxis allowed

PEP-C

PEP-C: Prednisone, Etoposide, Procarbazine, Cyclophosphamide

Regimen

Level of Evidence: Non-randomized

Induction phase

Supportive medication:

  • Ondansetron (dose not specified) with each procarbazine dose

Continue until WBC <3 x 109/L, hold until WBC recovery, then titrate in maintenance phase per paper (see publication for details)

Maintenance phase

  • Same medications and doses given per day as used in the induction phase, but the number of days per week they are used is titrated to maintain a WBC of at least 3; for example, 5 out of 7 days, every other day, once per week, etc.
